  • Hello music lovers!! Hoping you guys are getting by and im wishing you mucho loves during this covid-19/corona virus lockdown! Originally i was gonna do a different topic this week, but i thought "ya know what? Lets just have some fun!" My good buddy Ashley Lixxx from the hair metal party band "Skankbanger" loaned me his insane neon pink venom drip guitar for this episode as it has crazy hot pickups and a floating floyd rose tremolo! With the intro this week I opted to blend in a bit of the room mic with the direct audio for a bit of authenticity due to slippery notes and sneaky taps. Went for the most outrageous gained out, pitch shifting, verb a holic tone I could muster! Lets talk about some of my favorite 80's isms- The pitch raising hair raising squeals of EVH and Vai, Yngwie Malmsteens harmonic minor sequences, Dan Huff's patented reverse slides, Howe esque hammer ons from nowhere and how to tap huge multi finger arpeggios!! Buckle up kids, put down that 335, youre gonna need flame-thrower super strat because we are gonna put the virus quarantine-negative energy aside and SHRED!!! Stay disease free y'all!! (PS I’m tuned down a half step!) More at andywoodmusic.com

    There is so much power in Andy's right hand that his hat jumped straight up just from him pressing his 2 fingers down in mid air at @8:08..... amazing.

    Pretty insane how versatile this cat is. I'd not heard of him until a few weeks ago, but he's insanely talented. Super clean, super fast, and always has delicious tones. I'd like to think that i'll use these videos for my own playing, but I know the real entertainment is watching this maniac melt faces on UA-cam. Keep it up!!!

    • @Malediction99

    I appreciate guitar players that speak and teach in intervallic language rather than fret language. Builds a much better foundation of knowing how to translate things to other instruments, and other players. Some people get stuck in guitar land forever and don't know how to articulate what they are talking about to anyone other than other guitar players.

    I have spent so much time, like everyone, watching you grow your channel. I find your teachings very informative. I am a product of 80's hair metal and I can get through the rhythm and song structure, but when it comes to the solo techniques, I fail. I know its a matter of just slowing down and practice, but it just isn't happening. I would love to see you teach more techniques like this in the future to help us want to be shredders succeed. Thank You Andy.

Some things clicked for me on this style that I've heard before but now It makes more sense. Again thanks so much.

    Killer lesson! The 80's are my favorite musical decade. Could you do a beginner's guide to amps in the future? I love the type of tones in the early Van Halen records but I don't know anything about amps. I've been playing for 4 years and I'm pretty advanced technique wise but I still have the same crappy beginner amp I had when I started and I can't how it sounds anymore but I don't know what to buy and everyone just talks all this gibberish about amps, tubes and shit and I don't know what they're talking about!
