@ThrashDeth17 is It weird that you’re a complete dumbass. Don’t you know that the first “shredder” on guitar was Charlie Christian? He was the first to use the guitar as a lead instrument. -A black guy. So why don’t you forget about Hendrix, B.B King and countless others that changed the way the guitar was played forever…everyone admits influence. Someone as musically and historically stupid as yourself probably does’nt even know who the father of rock and roll is…Not Elvis, Its Chuck Berry

I much prefer tapping the seventh and sliding to the root, though I guess on the major triad it won’t make too much of a tonal difference. Just not a fan of the sixth in arpeggios…

How much of a twat are you then..

I didn’t care to much for this lesson.

i liked this lesson, he actually took the time to not just show you something but was telling you not to put too much drive on it for that sound he’s getting, most people just run through there lessons, even though im a metal guitarist so there for drive and gain is pretty essential. but i though it was a good lesson non the less.

Thrash’s statement was pretty rediculous but Charlie Christian was definitely NOT the first player to use the guitar as a lead instrument when guys like Django predated him. Lets not forget that in Classical guitar the guitar is a solo instrument which predates jazz. You could make the argument that jazz predates rock and roll and that jazz started in the African American community, I just don’t like when any race tries to assume responsibility for one genre of music since influences run deep.

yes I know about Djando Reinhardt…and I know it definitely IS arguable…are we talking about recording dates or actual fact? are you just counting the time he played with Benny Goodman in 1939? AND oh yeah I forgot about blues guitarists that predate all the jazz guitarist Blind Lemon Jefferson who sang the blue notes he played on the guitar in the early 1920′s..

.and equally I don’t like when credit is taken from those it belongs to…. its like the Chinese saying they invented the light bulb. but maybe they did because Thomas Edison could have been influenced by fire works. Let’s give Edison his credit. Classical guitar in its very nature is not like saxophone lines or related to pre-dated blues or jazz, maybe Tal Farlow or Joe Pass style of playing which came much later….I wasn’t talking about solo guitar but lead playing… anyways thanks for the

…respectful conversation.

I could continue you on but we both have a life to live, but If you wish to continue, we can….

@knowthisonce haha no its not necessary, thanks for the well thought out response. I think at the end of the day its enough to know that Thrash is a racist idiot and we agree about that.

How about the classical guitar player’s who predate jazz or blues by hundred’s of year’s.Spain,Italy,France,England known for producing a lot of great guitar composer’s through the age’s as well as Morocco.Blues/jazz was is ethnic and was a music made by people that waren’ t properly trained but played anyhow and it’s all feel,but blues is very basic in comparison to jazz because jazz adopted proper element’s through the year’s.

glissandos aren’t played on fretted instrument (except with whammy bar) slides are considered ‘portamento’ if you must name it

willbilly you rock!!

@faggotgiraffe ………..I tought he was going to soy something about hemorroids!!!

thank you very much!

@knowthisonce Now they are tryna steal credit for funk.
Wild stuff.

That is absolutely bananas.

Groovy, nice. However you need to add a heap of gain so it sounds good. What pedal is Wilbilly using?

WillBilly Kicks ASS!!!

How much is that guitar?

you make it look so effortless. that stuff is hard! I’ll get there one day

I don’t understand when a Black man plays rock guitar it’s always an issue of race? The posts to this video are just ignorant.
