10 guitar tricks (for beginners) 

Elon Musk looool

Nice one, Elon😂

lol, easy

LMFAO

Rumor has it Elon Musk was born shredding a double neck guitar and he singlehandedly wrote 'Through the Fire and the Flames'

Tremolo picking is actually pretty easy/was very easy to learn for me

Yeah tremolo picking can be easy but for some it has to be a God given talent to pick that fast, tapping and sweeping can be another level tho

@@Anonymous-bz1mm Good exercise for trem picking is to find a single string exercise and trem pick it over and over again with a metronome, slow BPM to start with and then build it up.

Dude the comment was a joke I know this stuff

Smokes on the water is now officially a verb

Krimson Vale same

@ᏃεאїᎢᎻ ᎾF ᴏʏғᴜᴍ Wait this was a joke

@ᏃεאїᎢᎻ ᎾF ᴏʏғᴜᴍ Wait, it is?

@ᏃεאїᎢᎻ ᎾF ᴏʏғᴜᴍ doesn't seem like a joke lol.

zenιтн oғ oyғυм yeah but a lot of these things are actually really easy to learn

Have you moved on to more advanced techniques yet?

how’s it coming along?

@@daddywiggle4586 Very slowly. LoL unfortunately life keeps getting in the way.

@@Spacegoat92 felt that

@@daddywiggle4586 Gotta be in the right mood as well. If I'm tired or irritated I just can't get into the zone.

I'ts just for fun..

Pinch harmonics are not "for beginners"

Justin Nielo no but you can see how once you get the hang of them, they can seem like very impressive embellishments for your beginner self to show off with.

What he probably means by this video is that these are things beginners should check out.

Except for (fast) sweeping, everything in this list is pretty easy for beginners and most of it you even learn by accident.

lol ikr

Stevie T has controlled his mind 😂

@@Just_a_metal_head_ stevie t is his father and has teached him well B)

I was just about to say that but then I saw this- 😂

slapnuts

Van Helsing? Do you mean Van Halen? But you are correct. That particular solo is from the song, Eruption.

@@Ziggy_Layne lol I was making a joke by mistaking the name since it was so obvious

Slipnuts

IMade2Cents2Day hahahaha

Joaquin Iturrieta just requires practice. He’s showing what you can get for the final product

I feel your pain

What song is that?

1:44 me at 3am

Is easy, in my first Month I practiced the sweep piking for up to 4 hours and that's what's been going on almost 20 years Xd

These tricks are kinda easy U just need to do it slowly over and over again then u start to speed up. Its funny to think that it is a lot harder to play like B B king than malmsteen

RanterInShades What are you on about? Sweeping and tapping are the only things you don't immediately learn when you start playing metal guitar. Pick slides, hammer ons, and pull offs aren't even things you necessarily have to learn, it's pretty much just intuitive.

TeddyGNOP That's pretty much the point I was making. Same applies to the overhand tapping. We're not all Michael Angelo Batio lol

RanterInShades It's not that hard...

RanterInShades That sweep picking was obviously a beginner technique. I mean it looks so easy when he does it, it can't possibly be difficult, right?

PerplexTV1 drop c mate

Tom Benington Nah man, Hb is where it's at.

***** Get rid of all your strings, set the guitar down in front an amp with the gain turned up max and jump up and down on the floor. That's exactly where its at.

Drop Q actually

H-flat

More like how to be a guitarist in Killswitch Engage. Or at least Adam D. XD

But Mick T. still does that oftenly, so I agree.

@@МилошМилошевић-е1н I'm not saying he doesn't, but Adam does it way more.

Like Duality XD

Combine all if them and its gojira

Where it belong in the end of the day

*puts the guitar back to the guitar center

And the snobby look during the sweep picking. Mmm

check out steve terreberry. He is basically a guitar god with no band. oh, and if its your cup of tea, you will love the humor. just go :)

Stelios Pasiardes Thanks m8

+Stelios Pasiardes as much as I like Jared, he sort of rips off Steve, his faces are pretty much the same

Callum McInnes i don't know man if he is ripping off steve... i like both of them but Steve is like my favorite too ^^

sweeping is fucking easy, just learn

JasocKy [*] >playing blast beats are easy, just learn >riding a unicycle is easy, just learn >mountain biking up Everest is easy, just learn Yeah no shit something is easy once you get really good at it

yea i dit read that wrong...i thought riding a unicorn was easy!

666....

JasocKy - doing a double back flip is easy on a snow board, just learn -riding a unicycle on your hands is easy just learn. - playing dream theatre songs is easy, just learn. - coming back to life is easy just learn.

truly a comedic genius

But his faces aren't better than StevieT

Lol

If this is for beginner guitarists than what’s for pro guitarists?

Lmao

thanks everyone :D

zachary rapoza z

ask Kerry King

TTRUE AF

Tremolo picking for 2 hours

Hahaa-

+Eric Johnson can you name the songs of the rise against that were used in this video ? I'm a huge fan but i think i don't know these songs

+Eric Johnson Pinch Harmonics: Zakk Wylde

+Eric Johnson A month late but any chance I could get the song for Every Time I Die?

+Eric Johnson All the trendiest examples. Good job, guy!

+Eric Johnson Natural Harmonics : Gojira

Blaze of the Razgriz squadron you just tabbed out what he played😂😂

It wasn"t even that funny to be honest...

+Samuel Mcclure *I've been sweepin' since the day I was born*

+Samuel Mcclure You had one job

Samuel Mcclure no i

yo dave doesnt even sweep

Gabriel Alberto Garcia Not the point

And I'm Yngwie Malmsteen

My real name is your account,except the the words last knight

Dave isn't as good as Kirk. Fight me.

F

Mine too

David Poole checkout in flames. All their songs have riffs like that

David Poole check out my chemical romance 😂

Right tho??? xD

Kyyp3r and Machine Head the second.

Nah, I asked Zakk and he said that every note has to have a pinch harmonic, so that didn't cut it

Kyyp3r Eddie Van Halen = Tapping = Eruption

Beat me to it

Yup

+Christian Castellanos cool!

one of the first thing i attempted was sweeping picking i could only play super slow but yea its a beginning technique only issue is you have to practice it daily or youll lose acuracy very fast

sweeping slowly doesn't really count tho... I started sweeping slowly but in order to be able to actually sweep you need to do it at higher speeds otherwise whats the point

Van Kevin hi

I think it's a shoutout to the tim and Eric skit, Not Jackie Chan.

harm. ^3 ^3 ^3 ^3 ^3 ^3

Peeeeewwww

Literally all of them are gojira

Thats very nice but i don't remember anyone asking

me too buddy

ikr

+Pandatômico crap man i could not do pinch harmonics for the longest time

+Pandatômico For those starting with cocaine

+Pandatômico Hes really just showing off basic techniques that you can pick up in no time. Playing them quickly and cleanly like he does, is not the point of the video. But rather the large range of things you can do, with just 10 basic techniques.

+Pandatômico he right their all very easy technique to pick up. well all but sweeping. hammer on and pll off and natural harmonic are amust the very frist thing you should learn as a guitarist. Tapping really look harder then it is. and sweep picking just start slow and speed up and you get better at it. trimbilo picking (i misspeal that bad) tlit your pick a bit and pick up and down. start slow if you have to. Their i just kinda enplane them all very easy simple stuff. have fun

Tapping sure as hell ain't for beginners... At least, not for old three chords me.

Well, I don't find it that hard. I often lose the tapping cycle, but it's not unachievable. I'm also good at fingerstyle now. :)

Primary instrument is bass, so I got around to do some tapping as well. But still, most of these techniques aren't really beginner-friendly.

tapping is OK, but sweep picking... OH BOY SWEEP PICKING

i feel like these are all pretty beginner level tricks. sweeping being the hardest. tapping is usually overcomplicated its not that hard

I am the danger same

035 0365 035 30 Laugh at this overused joke

Lmao

but you can sweep pick right?

Can you djent though?

I've been playing 6 and I still have problems some times.

Nearly 4 years and I've never learned.

I can't tap😭😭😭

Good idea

Or just play any "metalcore" track from 2005

Daniel379Drummer Bullet for my Valentine, Avenged Sevenfold, Killswitch Engage, Miss may I, etc.

Daniel379Drummer Pretty much add pinch harmonics and you've got As I Lay Dying lol.

Daniel379Drummer yeah. with his right hand bound to the back. or holding coffee. or a girl. holding coffee for a girl bound on his back. yeah, just like this!

Army G Maybe with 4 more months of experience

its called a joke

darkbeatz Damn I thought It was fo real. I worked my ass off to study all those tricks 😂

I've played for almost 6 years and I'm still tryna get the hang of it lmao

I'm thinking the same thing

Dude I was DYYYYINNNNGGGGG

I'm pretty sure that was Am I Evil

jack kotz I'm pretty sure that was eruption.

jack kotz Am I Evil? has rising tones. That part had falling tones.

I laughing so hard at this !!!! X)

jack kotz no that was 100 percent Eruption

+Ted E Bear I seriously hope your comment is an awesome case of sarcasm.

Eric Wheeler there's a little truth in all that sarcasm. I can do tapping and pinch harmonics and some of the harder techniques but I can't play a C chord. Hangs head in shame

A C chord? Hmmm, what part of it gives you trouble?

I mute the D string, happens with a few other major chords as well.

Do you wrap your thumb around the neck when you play? Or do you shift it as needed?

some stuff is easy to do just not to do well, as for harmonics and tremolo of that speed with that ease, yeah that shit's not beginner stuff

I mean, you must really suck if you've been playing for 35 years and can't do all of them

It’s a whole joke xD

Its a joke how can you not understand

@@Bakssss1 What is the joke? I don’t get it

I think he's trying to emphasize that focusing on fundamentals can oftentimes yield cooler sounding pieces of music than trying to focus on the show-off-y BS. I mean, the other ones are cool, but I can do without them. Especially pinch harmonics and pick-slides. That being said, I like string slides if they're being used to do a bass drop.

firemaiden34 you could say that about all of these things, where do you draw the line?

I draw the line between techniques that all musicians use that are necessary in order to play. and ones that only pertain to creating a specific sound. for instance A classical guitarist isn't going to use a pick slide, but they're going to use hammer ons and pull offs. A pop punk band isn't going to use the heavily distorted harmonics scrape, but they're going to use hammer ons and pull offs. See what im saying? There's a different between tricks, and universal techniques.

So I’ve been playing guitar for a decent amount of years now and I can’t tell the difference between the hammer on and pull off? Help?

Vernon Bowers right to left left to right

Yeah there is its called something with taste

@@Harp_and_Guitar_Moving_Forward ?

I would like to like what you like to

Hmm manuel might have something to say

GamefXd You're not wrong 😂

Or bullet for my valentine

They stopped to do it interestingly after Come Clarity tho

Leon Witteman kill this band

or megadeth

Eruption is the solo lol

@@jumbobagginsjellogo4475 wot

+Jared Dines The distortion, It sounds amazing in all of your videos, what are you running your guitar through?

I think he's trying to ask what pedals, amps or what your tone is.

+Jerrad Darvas I meant tone setting was on your guitar, your knobs

+Coolidge Owens my fucking goodness.... ROFL

+rbeforme notice that hes human. notice amount of subscribers.

Amory Chesterton

It’s almost like it’s a video for guitarists on a guitarists channel.

Amory Chesterton well well well

Amory Chesterton I’m a bassist and I laughed.

Luisa Rosana what

+drumsNgames2112 that would be way to advanced for this video, and probably to advanced for the tricks for advanced guitarists video as well. You have to be super advanced to play with a metronome, especially since it jumps around so much :)

ней алла хоппас нки гиллар мить трол конто T It is a joke, since most guitar players are unable to play with a metronome :)

Alex Wright Well fuck you.

Lance Pate Fuck youself.

+ней алла хоппас нки гиллар мить трол конто T well hes right... i knew a guy who can sweep but when i tried to play along with him he couldnt play in time... i asked if he practiced with a met and he said nope i dont need it skill is nothing unless you can play in time

Drew Sauveterre every Slayer song

The brown note one

Drew Sauveterre More like Amon Amarth

+Drew Sauveterre AHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHAHHASHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH..

Ya know kinda sounds like the begging of Angel of Death

Same dude

I can't sweep pick or tremolo pick for shit . I wouldn't necessarily consider myself a beginner , probably on the end nearer to intermediate but still can't do it

be happy I can't even tap

+Zlatan Moses I dont even have an electric guitar!

same here I can tap really good and play with my thumb but can't sweep

Cognizance Could you tell me which song pls? I can't remember :/

Ollie Challacombe It sounds nothing like Kingdom lol

B1ueshift You can never listen to too much Devin Townsend!

+B1ueshift Devin for life!

SabastianVG xD youre so right!!!!

SabastianVG You need a tremelo bar for that

Rahul Poddar A goooooood tremolo bar, otherwise your guitar will just explode like a potato thrown from the 5th floor

Rahul Poddar Or a whammy pedal ;)

this guitar can't do it

Huda Hanafiah you can do it if you are brave enough

diegolinbg how do u do it without that bar? (Is it called a whammy bar or something like that?)

Ionita Marius You can, literally, bend the neck and loosen the tension. I would only do it on certain guitars though.

Hockeyguy8541 not enough to get an actual divebomb sound, at best you can drop the pitch a whole step or two

John Smith a lot of practice and do you know the tabs to the sweep picking he did plzzz

pinch harmonics are pretty difficult to do as well

Actually, Pinch harmonics aren't that hard, got 'em within an hour, just make contact to the string with your skin as you pluck it with the pick. Do that up and down the string until you find the right position.

John Smith Its not that hard. Just takes time and practice.

John Smith just pick a chord in the octave and play the notes individually, ita basically an arrpiagio start slowly you will get there eventually it took me about 6 months of constant practice, constant means constant straight the same patters. And still i screw up so im not perfect yet!

r/woooosh

+GD Rexracer77 if u could please put link to your video of extended version/ringtone Thanks (in advance)!!😀😀

My favorite part is 1:13-1:31.

When you see the booty 0:48

I will try to write a tabs

Drop c

I've been playing for three, and only recently started playing a couple metal style licks, and I can't ever get pinch harmonics. Pretty discouraging.

Kieran Black For me, I have to drastically change how I pick when I do one. It seems to be one of those things where you just have to keep trying until something clicks.

I learned pinch harmonics within the first year of playing because I strived for metal riffs and the sound. I can do some solo work, etc., but playing while singing - can't fucking do it.

OmegaXzors It takes patience and practice. I struggle with some Metallica shit trying to play it and sing it at the same time and then I see fucking Steffen Kummerer from Obscura playing and singing the shit he plays live and I laugh and then cry.

Isaac Morrison I had the same problem, but after a while you should be able to throw them everywhere you want

And Pantera

Tapping is actually pretty easy. That was one of my first techniques i learned

Tappning isnt hard. I myself struggle to do it for some reason. But it isnt a hard technique for most people.

Mário Azevedo tapping is easier than normal picking

Sweeping is so much harder

Its called a joke
