Chris, your a frickin legend for dedicating an entire video to this section of The Stage. Helped me out a lot, tabs just didn’t do it for me and then I came across this. Your always the number 1 for learning hard shit like this and solos etc. Thank you so much!

@tylerwilson4951 7 лет назад

One of my favorite things is learning a song by ear, then learning how to properly play it. I feel like learning the song by ear gives me a great feel for the song, whereas learning the song from tabs or a detailed lesson like this gives me a much clearer understanding of the piece. Thank you for the videos, I really appreciate them.

@johannunterlass1317 5 лет назад

2 months of straight playing and i am almost done.. i am really happy and really apreciate this lesson... ✌️ thanks a lot for this

@beast1173 5 лет назад

"Hard" is subjective. Sure, I can't play it... yet. But remember that if its hard then there is something valuable to learn from it. Take it down to the slowest possible speed you can play it at, focus on playing it cleanly, and then over time the speed will come out - as long as you work on tapping in a variety of songs.

Imagine me, just learning guitar and wanting to play this. I remember the first time watching you play this I didn't know what tapping was so I picked 9 with my thumb and hammered the rest. It wasn't till eruption did I realize what tapping was but now I can play the intro.

dammmm Chris as much as I wanna play this I can't do it

@Faolain_ 7 лет назад

Learn all the notes and play it slowly until you can play it off by heart. Then just build up speed the best you can. Seriously, you will manage! It's better to know the solo and play it slow than not know it at all.

@abandonallships14 6 лет назад

Never put yourself down!!

@beast1173 5 лет назад

I also find it might be easier for some to play the main part more clean, by stretching with your pinky from 9 to 14 to stay on the same string, instead of 9 to 10 changing strings like he does

@jorgemaciel6395 7 лет назад

man, you make the songs look easy lol thanks for the videos!

@sirus1987 7 лет назад

Btw, that last arpeggio you weren't sure what to call is just a B Maj7 it goes 3rd, 5, 7, Root. It's just unusual in an E minor progression. Usually that would be a B7 so it would have the flat 7. Maybe he's getting this from the bebop dominant scale(1,2,3,4,5,6,b7,7 or B,C#,D#,E,F#,G#,A,A#). Not sure but it sounds good, so that's all that matters.

@Reldvs1 7 лет назад

The "Cheeky lil lick" you talk about.... when I do the string skip part I keep having a problem with the note change 8 11 16 on the third. the 16 ringing over the string skip to the 11 14 19 on the first. any suggestions? or do you even understand what I'm trying to say? it's section 2 on tab I believe. I keep getting bleed over now from the final note on the third string 16 fret as I'm skipping the string to do the hammer on for the 11 14 19 on the first string.

@jackthewalrus2332 7 лет назад

Hey Chris just letting you know that you can do the intro taps all on the b string, you don't need to use the g and b strings! :) I play it starting out with 5 7 12 then figured it out from there, hope that helps, it's a lot easier. But whatever way is comfortable for you is how you should stick with it.

@andyhong1131 7 лет назад

I figured it out the same way man; taps on the B string. But Chris said Syn did it on the G string w/ the weird tap on 10 of the B string in between. Chris is right, i went and watched a live video. You can totally play it the way you're saying, Chris is just giving us the artists' actual interpretation.

@cameronnaidoo8564 7 лет назад

@divided123 7 лет назад

Bruno is correct here. Keep in mind it follows that progression but the chord shapes do not repeat on the second time through. The entire section ascends throughout the chord progression and ultimately ends on the same diminished shape that is used a few times in the song. (17-14 on the high e, 16 on the b, 17-14 on the g, then back up)

@brunodeoliveira1367 7 лет назад

Yes, that's it! I had forgotten. in my tab it is written the diminished notes on the last shape, thanks for reminding

@lockie9341 6 лет назад

A quick question Chris, hopefully you see this lol, but how can you keep the other strings muted while doing the string skipping arpeggio part? I'm slowly getting the tapping down pat I just keep getting heaps of interference with the other strings, thanks!

Are you like, muting the g string after pulling off on your way up the string-skip lick with a little flick/tap of your middle finger? It's hard for me to tell bc it's quick, but if so that is slick

I tried to play along with you slowed down and it looks like it’s being played so fast that the a minor arpeggio is almost being skipped. Is that intentional or is it just me? Thanks!

@vicferrari89 4 месяца назад

You're a great player but like me, when I was learning hard advanced stuff, one day, I realized that the super great shredders played their guitar on their left leg (right handed guitars players of course). I see you could have that same epiphany as I did and WOW! It changed my life. All of a sudden, the hard to learn shedding and finger style was much easier (not easy) just easier. Guitar on the left leg. Just try it. Thank me later.........
