OH MY GOD, DID YOU SEE THAT… UNICORN?!
Tiny resemblance to Niel Patrick Harris, not much xD
That was cool. Ben, great job. Love your technique. Thanks!
not bad
Great lesson. Itd be awesome if you could teach that tapping lick at 0:18
@stalebread31 really is easy, but try to do it with ears, its much better, if you are bad the ears like me, you can watch the “A diminished arpeggio” in tapping
ex A C D# index – ring or pinky – tap
D# F# A
its all, just is practice, practice, practice until your fingers are bleeding, or become accustomed to mechanical movement
nice intro, like muse
toccata and fugue……?
he’s not as cool as neil
Great lesson ! !
Neal you guys should mention that your main website has a tab on almost each lick-lesson from the Guitartricks Channel. This makes it a lot more easier! I’m sure you will get a lot more subscribtions with it, because I always have the feeling most people don’t know that there also is an entire excellent website, because it is called Guitartricks, people may think it is only a bunch of tricks only on Youtube. Please reply !
@stalebread31 all the tabs are on the main site, but as bogik said, it’s basically a diminished arpeggio. they are symmetric, meaning you create one by moving up three frets at a time – that’s it. then you just place some of the notes on the next string and tap the top note etc.
hey next lesson show us how to do that thing at the start! it was awesome!:D
you guys rock for giving free tips, but they are always pretty advanced stuff
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!…
WHERE IS YOUR SUIT?!
