  • In this video I share my process learning the intro riff/solo from Anastasia by Slash over three practice sessions. It was much more tricky to get down than I initially anticipated!

    It was fun learning this! If you want to follow along and learn it too, I'm tuned down a half step to Eb. Also, you can loop/slow down the riff here: www.looper.tube/?v=YSpc7CrVrK4&s=37&e=78.8&spd=1 :)

    One more thing, your skills have improved a lot. You are freaking shredding and it’s so dang good. Never stop playing if that what your true heart and passion says. You are truly genuine, anyone can see it and is one of the reasons ppl sub to you. You are almost as good as me on guitar, lol. From what i can see you are going to pass me very soon. So i gotta keep up my chops so you don’t pass me. You will be my rival, Muuuuahahahahahahhaaha!!! you will not play the intro part of puppets the part with 01 2, 01 3, 01 4 faster than me. I pray to The James Hetfield, for him to give me the down picking strength to down pick at 1,000,000bpm!!! We’ve all heard the story of that incredible night when god James Hetfield pulled off the 1,000,000bpm down picking extravaganza. The low E melted and he actually scared his guitar in the process as well. No mortal had ever seen such a sight, until that fateful day. James you’re the best Metallica, Wooooooohoooooooooo!!!

    Hi Rachelf, I'm new at guitar at 69. I've learned a few chords when I was a teen. I started playing drums around the same time and stuck with that. Now I want to learn guitar again. Can you tell me where you get the videos with the close ups of the guitarist playing the riffs? Thanks in advance. Dave

  • @graygeralt
    @graygeralt 10 місяців тому

    I also tried to play this riff for a while a while ago. What made me give up was getting confused by the little different positions I had to go through quickly and a specific "lazy" sound as if your fingers were sticking to the strings due to the fast required transitions and being convinced I cannot get rid of it because the lack of skill. Also the fact that I couldn't reach full speed. But maybe I was too hard on me.

  • @gregbrooks7850
    @gregbrooks7850 10 місяців тому

    Right on Bra, I honestly wish more girls were like you. The daring pool for guys would be so much less tense for guys to be able to approach and talk with girls. Just everything about you screams, i’m kool, i will treat you like you’re kool and we will have a kool badass time together. Also, it screams it’s ok guys i’m easy and fun to talk to, bc i won’t judge you in anyway. You just seem like the best person ever, and i want to thank you for being you and being an example of what a real woman. Now these are my opinions, if someone has a problem with it, go call someone who cares bc i don’t.

    Of all the guitarists I've watched progress from day one onwards, you seem to have developed the fastest.
    After two years I'm still messing about with chords and exercises.
    Aside from natural ability, would you say your journey was quicker because you stuck to learning songs rather than the mountain of "lessons" out there?

    Pretty cool! It seems to me that you are slightly off on the tempo. Sounds like you were slightly faster/ahead of the beat at times. But I'm not a guitar player(although I'm trying to be one lol).

    You'll really excel once you begin to improvise and start doing your own thing. You pretty much limit yourself just doing covers. I started playing in 1978 and quit doing covers in 1984. I'd squeeze in 1 or to covers in song lists when playing out, but that's it. They were usually songs no one ever heard of by unknown prog bands. I have some old practice recordings uploaded to my channel.
