Fuck strap locks, i squier strat has 2 beer bottle caps with holes drilled in them between the strap button and strap. I can do guitar flips ass day and it will never fall off.
the first one called the windmill, you don’t bend your elbow 2nd one called jump scissor kick 3rd one called wounded bunny hop 4th called the the curly spin 5th called strap No lock over the shoulder hail mary wish me luck guitar toss
As mentioned, you need strap locks. Secondly, there are 2 different ways of doing the guitar flip; the way you did it, throwing the headstock over the left shoulder and guitar comes under the right arm next to the hip OR THE CORRECT WAY which is to reverse the first method. Throw the guitar under the right arm, the guitar swings behind tour back and the guitar body comes from behind, over the left shoulder (followed by the neck then headstock) and the guitar lays in front of you. The trick is to lead with the weight of the guitar body, keeping tension on the guitar strap as you swing it quickly. Do it too slow and it won’t work 👍🏼
I heard you say guitar flip...stopped the video...read some comments... ....and didn’t restart the video. I didn’t want to see that....my 30 years old memories about the flip are too painful...I don’t want to relive them Great video, very enjoyable and fun
Me: I hope he has some strap locks on for that toss. Me: 2 seconds later: Guess not. Come on man, that like guitar toss 101. never do it without strap locks
You brightened my day! Next time don't forget the strap locks on the guitar flip it definitely helps as well as a nylon Dimarzio strap_ super slippery. Great stuff! Thanks.
Townshend used to rip his hand to shreds on the bridge, IIRC... he used to have a tub of surgical spirit he'd dunk his hand into. Who was it who impaled their hand on the vibrato bar doing a windmill?
I think i was more worried you were gonna break something during the recording of this video than actually amused by it HAHAHAHA You really stressed me out man!
Haha that damn carpet!!! had me rolling. And the guitar flip almost worked of you had strap locks and maybe a leather jacket on to reduce the friction.
lol For that Jeff Labar guitar swing you need to bolt/screw a big washer on top of the strap mounts with 1-2 used match sticks and wood glue. Or see if Dimarzio will send you one of their straps with the plastic quick release locks like Vai uses. Those things are indestructible.road tough. Still using mine from the early 90s.or so. All of my axes have the clip lock mounted so switching guitars is 2 unclicks to release, and 2 clicks to get the next axe on. Plug in and rock! 🤘🏼😆🎸
I find it hard to play that gun n roses riff without making a mistake no matter how I try LOL. My tip for the guitar flip is to use locking nuts on the strap. I never use a strap without locking nuts since I dropped my guitar a week after getting it. I am still playing the same guitar 20 years later too
Funny as hell. Just.... two words Strap Locks. Seriously, never tried it, never will. Never had a junk guitar I want to sacrafice, or my teeth. Great Channel too. Getting a text from your wife was the funniest.
you should have used one of those cheap rubery "strap locks" that fender, for instance sells, it's just a cheap rubber ring that you put over the strap that should have held the guitar for the flip, I think
Funny! You've also got to remember that a lot of these moves were being done by rockers that like to "party",to put it nicely, back in the day. Still fun to try though.
I love your version of Townshend's windmill but if you take a close look at how Pete does it he doesn't seem to ever hit the strings with his right hand. Instead he strums the strings using his left hand pinky. The right arm is just a distraction so you don't notice :). If you search RU-vid for Townshend's windmill there's at least one where you can see what he's doing with his left hand.
Hey Homie, HomeBaked Bread!!! Dude I’ve never laughed so hard! Thanks man!! Friggin awesome!. THE GUITAR FLIP EPIC!! Go the other way HomePlate. Hey HomeForTheHolidays....give it another try!!
at least you didn't crack your head with the git flip like my childhood friend did with his Explorer! ( shaped Hondo) strap locks strap locks strap locks!
Absolute fail on every Angus move (sorry man, you tried real hard and the attitude in your VH playing was stellar) because you disobeyed the absolute first commandment in performance Angus Young style, and that commandment is: Thy head must be banging wildly at ALL TIMES. It's harder than it looks. I would bet that his neck is f****** up too...
LMAO, that was great!!!!! Maybe call Jeff LaBar or Eric Brittingham of Cinderella for guitar flipping tips! At least you attempted it, I would be afraid I would clock myself in the head!
Yeah, much harder than it seems. Page was a dancer and regardless of the drugs/alcohol, and his skeletal frame in later Zep. I did hear he did yoga, I believe it because regardless of what you’re ingesting, if your frame/muscles aren’t stretched, loosened, your muscles will just lock up, and you will at every 2nd or 3rd gig have to just stand there. By the way, that’s an awesome guitar and you have a pretty good tone. I hate when metal/thrash players totally ignore tone, even when there is the objective to sound harsh. Like Kirk Hammet eventually learned, play fierce, play fast shrill treble licks, but try to be artistic as well.
Funny! Or way too high! Lol loved the laughter! Should have tried the jump knee slide off the edge of the stage! Lol. Love ya my heavy metal bro! God bless!
What everyone on vacation. I have been doing the. Chuck Berry. The Marty McFly and the Angus walk for years. Like for 40 something years. But I always use my air guitar. Lol. 👍🏻😎
I do the flip always the other way around... So it comes back the body first, that way you don't break the neck.. just use straplocks or it will do what happened to you in the video
Gotta have strap locks and a wireless system dude. I used to do it back it the 80s. Just make sure the strap locks are bombproof. Never tried it with a bass. Ain't tall enough.
I can't believe that the leopard print strap failed you. My whole belief system is now broken. I guess I'll have to watch some SRV & Jimi clips to regain my faith. Great video nonetheless.
