Hear the lick, play the lick challenge 

"These are the rules...." Immediately after: everyone throwing the rules out the window

We all might know rudy as a comedian, but with that talent he could've been a guitar youtuber if he wants to

The passive aggression goin crazy in this one 🔥🔥🔥

I sometimes forget that Rudy is good at guitar

This is probably the best type of exercise for guitarists. You use your brain to figure it out right on the spot. No bs. You can tell that they were struggling playing out of their comfort zone.

*DEDICATES LIFE TO GUITAR, GETS FAMOUS FOR ARAB DAD*

This was the most awkward moment of my life and it lasted 45 minutes

Hunter must feel like a guitar student that didn't practice what he was suppose to practice for next week

This is really good. It keeps you guys sharp on the ear training

Rudy, you're a great guitarist dude. You blow these kids out of the water. You're subtle, your tone and skill are on another level.

This should be a weekly thing, it's crazy how good this is for practicing, you all did great guys!

7:12 The best moment of the video!!! by far!!! 😄

This was both fun and revealing. People like to talk about the whole "Instagram guitarist" problem, and this game reveals just how important real chops that matter in musicianship is, versus short clips of someone shredding at neck-break speed because they practiced it a thousand times and captured that one take where they finally nailed it.

I grabbed my guitar along for this one and it was a lot of fun! I was able to play most of it quickly but had trouble with ones that go out of the patterns I default to. I’m going to try this with some Jam buddies!

Rudy's dad: this is what you do with your free time?!?!

We may never know Rudy's real accent... just here to enjoy the licks 😅

dO i HaVe tO pLaY sHitTy bLuEs sTuFf??? Proceeds to get annihilated.

New to ur channel frm seeing ur comedy vids, its cool to see ur guitar skill and i appreciate that you’re actually very earnest about it and want other ppl to be great w u. Just nice to see, too many ppl are weird and jealous w it, cool to see you want to better the ppl arnd u. props.

this is why you gotta transcribe. you can train your dexterity all you want but ears are just as important (imo way more)

danm this challenge really exposes a guitarists weaknesses

this was really fun to watch and listen. pls do more of these

12:57 The best and honest advertisement that I ever seen in my live 🤣👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 It was fun to watch this battle!

Haha dude this is awesome. Would love to see more of this in the future.

Habibi your improv is pretty dope ! You’re such a funny man we forget you actually slay at guitar 🤘 🎸 🎶 🎵 I started doing this call and response exercise with my self a while back and it’s improved my playing 10 fold

Most fun guitar content I've seen. Loved it

Holy crap, a guitar video from Rudy. It must be 2022 all of a sudden.

"That's the f*cking lick!" *and we all laughed. Good moment.

Great video, definitely gonna use the code for the course! 🎸👍

Dude this was so much fun!

these are all great players, but its amazing to see they don't hone in on the subtleties like less attack, slight pick raking, more/less vibrato, or pre bends like Rudy does. that's what separates Rudy as a fantastic player

This is actually a great practice technique. I'mma try it out with my buddies

I'm I the only one feeling the tension between some of these folk, gotdamn!

"are you listening what I'm playing?" "No." 🤣🤣🤣

I feel so bad for everyone in this room 😂 Seeing the smiles slowly fade and replaced with forced fake smiles is soul twisting😂. I feel the second hand cringe, embarrassment and passive aggressivness

man I really enjoy watching this, I wish I was there

I enjoyed this video so much. Thank you bro

17:20 This dude changed his lick completely after the first take lol

Bro like just do this at all kinds of different places. This is supreme guitar content

06:56 When you feel frustrating with a lick and your friend tries to calm you🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

My man Rudy is becoming more and more majestic looking. Good job bro. Keep it up bro

The licks are just so good

This kind of stuff is what exposes who does ear training and who doesn't. I remember doing the same exercise in music theory class except we had no visuals to go off of though. Somebody would play something with their back turned and we'd have to copy them just by listening with the whole class passive aggressively watching to criticize you when you can't get it. Such an important and underestimated skill to have, being able to play what you hear and translate that to the fretboard. What ends up happening once you get good enough at it is you memorize where the notes are on the fretboard and at that point, you can learn anything. No longer need to rely on tabs or lessons or anything to learn a song, just your ear.

@RudyAyoub my son and I enjoy your content. More of the PG content, because his age, but especially your music. I was curious, if you've ever considered creating and offering a course specifically for the younger guitarist? My son is gifted and autistic, so he struggles with the social aspect of any type of lessons. Since you've already peaked his interest with your music and his use technology to learn new skills, I feel he and others would benefit immensely from being taught your music language. I hope you'll at least consider, offering a course with the basics for the youngest guitarist with an even bigger impact then embracing and developing another's gift of unique music?

I know it's been said a lot, but Rudy has made his whole brand about not playing the guitar, but it's so mesmerizing watching and hearing him play.

11:28 This therapy session bro

This gives me hope for my career as a guitarist

This video is doing Rudy's ego no favors.

its so weird to see guys able to play these super complcated metel riffs but get lost on some basic "jazzy" licks

lol the intense scary feeling when you're around other guitarists is real w this one

Rudy coaching the other guitarists is just awesome 👍🏾

It was a lot of fun playing along.

Such an awesome idea and fun to watch😂.

Such a tense video

Yay! Revstar! I have one of those!

Rudy cocky yet humble at the same time

Rudy sometimes plays a riff and then changes it the second time, haha. Great video

As a german i really felt that "HÄ?!" at 04:35

This was legit uncomfortable to watch, that passive agressive was wilddddd

More of this format pls

This was really entertaining!

do the part 2 please that was really good

More videos like this please!!!!

atleast rudy was willing to play at there level of guitar

love seeing andrew baena in here, that guy is fantastic.

Congrats on 1 million

Yo, this video idea was very cool and I really enjoyed it :) Love goes out to my boy, Rudolph Adobe

Bro more importantly are you doing well after that crash?

Imagine Tim Henson playing this game. Or like Tim Henson Vs Tosin Abasi

I'm also a guitarist and This was pretty cool!

This is what playing music with friends is all about: 🐉 *MORTAL KOMBAT* 🐉

Yes, finally a youtuber I like using a Revstar

Probably the coolest vdo for today

love how Agufish is like confused with all those questions and just slams in with an epic riff :D

crossroads duel : bootleg version ( Clarke is the devil )

I want to see you against The Doo... should be a challange

I was screaming the whole video "NOOOO" but that's because I can hear the lick, I just wouldn't be able to play it. I think this was the most impressive thing about this video. Guitarists aren't singers and they aren't pianists, and rarely are they music theorists. Rudy plays something unconventional in the guitar world and guitarists (especially noobs) have no idea what's going on. This is why we need Adam Neely up in here. Or, heaven forbid, Rick Beato. That would be a fun battle.

Need more challenge videos like this🔥🔥🔥🥵🔥🔥🔥

I would love to see guthrie govan play this game

Last time I was this early, I... hm, I can't think of a joke right now.

This is great! Everyone wins essentially. Try this again but next time, same rules apply with the addition of: play back to back and call out your starting fret and string, for the more advanced players just play your phrase. Fun video dude ❤

This made some really decent guitar players look like beginners 😂

It's weird how nobody played "the" lick

I'm disappointed no one threw in polyrhythms to challenge Rudy

I can use this video as a guitar lesson 😄. It's so good.

We made a game called RIFF which was similar to the basketball game HORSE. I play a riff, and if the other guy cannot play that RIFF within some sort of tolerance, then he gets a letter. This reminded me of that game that we played maybe twice because we suck and have limited riffs we can use l EDIT: This might be the improved version since you're using licks which make way more sense

If they keep doing this the other guys are going to improve A LOT! This was the first time too, so its obvious it was going to be uncomfortable. They clearly weren't prepared but they have will improve and this could become an amazing series

Rudy is so good blud.

Most hostile video you’ve put out Rudy! Keep it up!

17:01 Rudy I need more of this man

love this

17:16 guy stares at his non existent watch Nah wait Rudy had it 19:32

The other guitarist is left handed!!!!!! Being one myself I love seeing someone play it that way

Ear training and learning the fretboard is a must. 😊

That Yamaha sounds great !😊

wow I was literally just thinking about that there should be a video like "guess the beatboxer" videos but guitarists.

I had no trouble following any of Rudy's licks. I have no idea what these other guys were doing.

I have the impression Rudy is a huge fan of Opeth, or at least that he drinks from the same fountain as Åkerfeldt. I am not a guitarrist myself but my musical ears allow me to understand what's going really well, i would say, and on that, it's nice to see the more unconventional choices of Rudy kinda mindbloggling the other fellas in the video.

Mooooore kind of this videos plllllllz ❤

Me not knowing anything about guitar but watches whole video and now is thinking about doing the course

The tone coming out of the Strat style Ibanez is a war crime to the ears.
