I can't get my mind out of alternate picking. Sweep picking is so unnatural to me because I guess Ive played bluegrass so long, to do anything but alternate picking is a mental chore.
Dweezil is way underated! His name needs shouting from the roof tops. Such a great teacher too!
Love Dweez and his dad. Played along to many of Franks tunes but never had a lesson in my life. 63 now, maybe I should start. Don't even know what platonic scales are.
Thanks Dweezil. The kids needs this knowledge and the spirit of music.????
Thank You! Dweezil????❤️????
It’s been so hard to find extremely effective lessons like this one at the “advanced intermediate” level, or whatever you want to call it. Pleasantly surprised to see it come from someone like Dweezil who’s so far beyond the player he’s catering too. He hit the mark, ab to play for like 6 hours now.
I didn't realize Patrick Dempsey was so good at guitar.
The piano makes so much more sense to me. Each key has its own note. So many redundances on the guitar. So many different paths to play out the same thing.
Yep, Think-Outside-The-Box… Simple concepts like this go along way. Good video!!
hes such a good teacher!!!!! i could listen to him all day omg
mind blown
What a gorgeous SG. A Maestro I guess?
What a great lesson. Thank you, god bless.
Cool lesson
Gold Thanks
DWEEZIL RULEZ
Who else can claim Steve Vai ,Eddie Van Halen and Frank Zappa taught them how to play guitar , Dweezil has became a monster guitarist .
Thats how I learned to play. I conduct musical experiments by playing at different times and speeds while using different finger movements and playing styles until I created something that sounded familiar or good to me in a certain tuning.
Esse cara é fantástico! Se lascar, viu! ????
Wow! The instrument is truly bottomless.
Not into men, but Dweezil is a handsome guy
Steve Vai tutored him. Dweezil is soooo good.
Man, I love the Roxy SG.
Wow a famous guitar player that can actually explain and teach without being abstractly vague
dude's been working out
Yeah, that looks easy
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Can I just say "thank you" to DZ for this. This lesson is incredibly generous and worded in a very comprehensive manner. Personally, it's going to be invaluable to me. Other YT tutors take note: there are loads of beginners style tutorials on YT that are great and there are, seemingly, a preponderance of tutorials aimed at the more accomplished player (Rick Beato anyone). However, I have found tutorials for the reasonably advanced intermediate players (those of use, self taught, who have been playing and gigging for years, with "some" chops and "some" theory but, as DZ points out, have "hit a wall") are a little like hen's teeth. This is how it should be done. This is how it should be shown. This is how it should be explained and contextualised and this is how it should be worded. Believe me, it's difficult to access tutors for certain levels of playing if you don't live in a City. YT is a Godsend in this respect and this tutorial hits the nail right on the head! Thanks again.
BTW: I went to see Zappa Plays Zappa in Manchester 18 months, or so, ago. Absolutely great. If you're a fan of his Dad's music and haven't been to see DZ's band, I'd strongly recommend you catch them if you can….. "I know you'll be surprised!".
If you get a chance to see Dweezil play live, I'd highly recommend going. He does a great job, and his band is really good.
thanks Dweezil ….handy bit of knowledge for me mate. good onya
If only I had a few lessons from him when I started
Those SG horns look so wrong. Can’t get over it.
Especially the upper one is pure horror compared to the original 60s SGs.
One of the coolest repackagings of the pentatonic I've heard! Almost gives it an different sound all together the way you play it!
great teacher…
the timing is key
I dislike pentatonic because it reminds me of lame blues. Dweezil makes it interesting.
"Simple ways".
Hah. Never in a million years. Too old and slow. I hear "down down up down up up down" and my brain turns off.
If you don't start young, forget about it.
my brain can't comprehend that headstock.
He looks like john hamm
