I love Zakk's teaching style. "Here uh...these are the scale patterns we're gonna use. See you just fuckin....uh play a note here and...you know what fuck it. Just watch me shred for the next 8 minutes."
"Well, uuuh, we're just using the A minor pentatonic. You know, like.. *plays super fast for 5 minutes* ... "Yeah, that's it, like.... *plays super fast for 5 minutes*, "Yeah so.. *plays super fast for 5 minutes*.. That's it!
For those who didn't saw / heard the lesson: - If you aren't familiar with classical guitar technique, it's time to learn the basics - If you don't understand scales or their extended use, learn those until you can dream all the notes - If you don't like or can't play the blues, try your best to either play it and or like it. And if you're redheaded, you might find out that you do have a soul or maybe you don't, not my place to tell :-D - If you like to execute this one day with a banjo, you don't have to buy one just yet - If you like speed, use a metronome, start slow and increase the tempo when you can play the click away - If you like this certain acoustic style of shred: combine all the concepts and brew you're own thing based on the guidelines given in this video. * Don't forget to really, really, really love pentatonic scales. Also in my opinion,it has more character with reduced speed. Anyways, thanks very much! :D
+Pauloemariana Mendonca this is not a monster but a man with hangover who plays the same shit for years and everybody like this beacouse he is Zakk but this is nothing more then A7 for 7 minutes.Bullsh..
Just like a auctioneer has fill ins between words, but guitar fill ins are a direction of feeling and movement of attitude and life.God bless you Zack. Flamenco guitarists are filling their straw built depends. Rock on boss man
Amazing teacher! I learned chicken picking in 7:17 min. YOU can save time though by skipping to 4:39, watch the lick and hear the words "basically I was using every note we can". Sums up this 'lesson' nicely!
One way to get the chromatic sound or rather the bluesy picking scale is to mix the minor and major scales. Or anytime you have a whole step in your pentatonic shape put a passing tone So basically you have to know where the pentatonic shapes are in C major and where they are in C minor. Then mix them together to your taste. Some things he did were using a pedal tone- so keeping on note on the high e string then walking down a chromatic line on the G string.
i get everyone here, I'm in the same boat but we can't forget that most of that stuff he learned just watching people play these licks trying to copy them for hours on end. so guys pull yourself together and put in the effort. we got youtube we can even slow down the video but without rewinding a thousand times you won't learn it...
Its hard to explain but sometimes sitting across from someone and just trying to mimic stuff and have them slow down the odd part etc., it actually ends up being very beneficial. It will take you to a different level of playing/hearing/following
So yeah we're just gonna Sweep picks for almost 2 minutes And then we're just gonna Continues to solo for another long time Also you can Continues picking so quickly the camera blurs You also have Chicken picks super fast for another minute Talks for less than 15 seconds about riffs You can do it like Solos really fast again So yeah hope that helped thanks for having me Best guitar lesson 💯
Stop complaining that he didn't hold you hand through the Lesson. If you aren't able to watch his fingers and use your ears to figure out what he did, then sorry but you are not a seasoned enough player to play what he's demonstrating in the first place
The cold hard truth is you shouldn't be watching a video on chicken picking if you don't know which type of scale you're planning to flow it with. He started out with the foundation of an A Major Pentatonic, and simply showed you can create personal connectors to those foundations to create scales of known types, blues/jazz etc..learn a bunch, they're fun!
So pick a key then use pentatonic scales then ignore scale and play chromatic with emphasis on the key root note. Use finger picking with a pick. Mutes strings
Yeah just call up Tony Montana and have him fill your bathtub with Columbia's finest, hold your breath for 30 seconds minimum, then dive in head first. When you emerge, you'll be at Zakk Wylde speed! 😆 definitely not even close to his level of ability but you'll at least be able to comprehend 800 bpm

This is the equivalent of a math teacher saying
"Okay class! 2 + 2 = 4"
"Okay using that, now calculate the mass of the sun"
dead lol
😂😂
+Tyler Marcel If you want to know he's picking technique and see more specifics just watch his pentatonic hardcore video...
haha
yeah his tutorials suck most of the time. His old Instructional video covers bending pretty well though.
I love Zakk's teaching style.
"Here uh...these are the scale patterns we're gonna use. See you just fuckin....uh play a note here and...you know what fuck it. Just watch me shred for the next 8 minutes."
One of the great things about Zakk is... he can teach you some guitar, then help you put your transmission back together all in one afternoon.
+Mud Wiser lol
He helped you put your transmission back together?
and sell you some of that sweet powder.
LMAO I believe that 😂
LMAO I believe that 😂
"Well, uuuh, we're just using the A minor pentatonic. You know, like.. *plays super fast for 5 minutes* ... "Yeah, that's it, like.... *plays super fast for 5 minutes*, "Yeah so.. *plays super fast for 5 minutes*.. That's it!
Trafalgar hahahhaah
😂
Exactly!
Dont be a hater
You forgot to add once again
When I saw the beginning of this I had to check I wasn't running the video at 2x speed
Holy fuck. I didn't learn a god damn thing but I don't think I really give a shit either.
Several lifetimes. That’s how many it would take me to achieve this level of mastery.
2:21 he played so fast the camera blurred. Zakk is the 🐐
Every Zakk Wylde lesson or how to video is like this. Useless to anyone wanting to advance. Amazing for entertainment value.
Zakk on acoustic is just crazy. BLS acoustic songs like T.AZ. and Speedball are probably my favorites of all time.
For those who didn't saw / heard the lesson:
- If you aren't familiar with classical guitar technique, it's time to learn the basics
- If you don't understand scales or their extended use, learn those until you can dream all the notes
- If you don't like or can't play the blues, try your best to either play it and or like it. And if you're redheaded, you might find out that you do have a soul or maybe you don't, not my place to tell :-D
- If you like to execute this one day with a banjo, you don't have to buy one just yet
- If you like speed, use a metronome, start slow and increase the tempo when you can play the click away
- If you like this certain acoustic style of shred: combine all the concepts and brew you're own thing based on the guidelines given in this video.
* Don't forget to really, really, really love pentatonic scales.
Also in my opinion,it has more character with reduced speed. Anyways, thanks very much! :D
ultrafloss492 Best advice ever mate :)
Redheaded comment !
so... when does the lesson start?
I was wondering
seriously, he gives yngwie a run for his money for title of worst guitar instructor ever
Best comment!
This my favorite banjo 🪕 lesson. Thanks buddy!!🙏
the lesson starts at 5:55 and finish 6:14
The monster Zakk Wylde!
#Respect
+Pauloemariana Mendonca this is not a monster but a man with hangover who plays the same shit for years and everybody like this beacouse he is Zakk but this is nothing more then A7 for 7 minutes.Bullsh..
Well done to anyone who managed to learn anything useful from this video. Great player but man he can't stop himself.
It's a "lesson" because Black Zack just schooled y'all. Sarcasm.
Haha best comment. So many haters on here
Just like a auctioneer has fill ins between words, but guitar fill ins are a direction of feeling and movement of attitude and life.God bless you Zack. Flamenco guitarists are filling their straw built depends. Rock on boss man
Thank you so much for this video. Zakk need to do an album just with that, just a guitar and chicken picking.
If u haven't already, u should check out Zakk's first band he got famous with: Pride & Glory, it's a lot more country rock style
The heart is willing, but the body is unable.
“String skippin’” cracks me up every time
Zakk Acoustic Shred, is Gooood
You Rock Zakk..Love you bro..can't wait to see you at tht House of Blues in Cleveland...Ohio!!!
Amazing teacher! I learned chicken picking in 7:17 min. YOU can save time though by skipping to 4:39, watch the lick and hear the words "basically I was using every note we can". Sums up this 'lesson' nicely!
you the man ! this shows me you put in the time
Well that really cleared things up for me
Freaking AWESOME!
“Things like that” - Zak
Oh good, a breakdown on that ONE lick!
Great Lesson Zakk.
PURE TALENT!
That axe is sick! I need one, hope Epiphone makes it available... haven't seen it anywhere.
Love this. So awesome to take the time to teach; FOR FREE. I'm sure he's getting paid from Guitar World, but still man. How cool is he.
22-23 seconds. Incomprehensible
Sweet looking guitar!
The best papa rock in the world
That epiphone is fucking bad ass
One way to get the chromatic sound or rather the bluesy picking scale is to mix the minor and major scales. Or anytime you have a whole step in your pentatonic shape put a passing tone

Some things he did were using a pedal tone- so keeping on note on the high e string then walking down a chromatic line on the G string.
"And here we go one more time", thanks got it!
Zakk plays great that acustic
Like Zack A lot, And the fact He's on the Web a lot too
Very good, my brother.🌹🌹🙏👑
"Once again"
- Ok.
Can someone translate all those things? hahaha
"Just see his hands" RIGHT!
I think I finally learnt something. Leave it to the professionals.
If you really dig this and want to play exactly the same notes, you can always use Transcribe software to slow it down
A pleasure man..
All tecnitician. Nobody said that..
Thanks Zakk...Who knows what model his Epiphone is?
Still waiting for the lesson to start
I think he stated once "Albert Lee Star Licks , it's all on there"
The tabs are on guitar worlds website if anyone wants them! SDMF!!! Bleed black forever!
Zack is typical show off teacher lol
Coolest show off teacher
Hell yeah, Father Zakk!! Awesome licks ideas... bad ass!!! lml
#BLfamily
Where can I get this amazing guitar or at least the soundhole pickup?
I was watching some Alex Scolnick videos now watching zac I feel like I have a terrible learning disability. 😂
Yeeehaw Zakk 🤘
that nail picking
Where can I buy that kickass guitar?
Finally says something about the 3 picks he's got going at once. GD Zack
Yeah, this is much better than his electrical stuff.
i get everyone here, I'm in the same boat but we can't forget that most of that stuff he learned just watching people play these licks trying to copy them for hours on end. so guys pull yourself together and put in the effort. we got youtube we can even slow down the video but without rewinding a thousand times you won't learn it...
Got it. Thanks z!
Zakk the big beard!!!!
is magnetic pickup on an acoustic any good?
Watch me shred while you still suck. Love Zakk, learned nothing from this though, except he's a wizard.
Is the back issue available for this?
How on earth was that a lesson?
yeah :'D
Its hard to explain but sometimes sitting across from someone and just trying to mimic stuff and have them slow down the odd part etc., it actually ends up being very beneficial. It will take you to a different level of playing/hearing/following
+CaribSurfKing1 pro players really don't need to have things slowed down :) it is not for beginners, dude
it was not...
The Miyagi of guitar
Anyone got a clue as to what epiphone model he’s playing?
So yeah we're just gonna Sweep picks for almost 2 minutes
And then we're just gonna Continues to solo for another long time
Also you can Continues picking so quickly the camera blurs
You also have Chicken picks super fast for another minute
Talks for less than 15 seconds about riffs
You can do it like Solos really fast again
So yeah hope that helped thanks for having me
Best guitar lesson 💯
0:54 shades of Cliff Burton?
for whom the bell tolls
That's the weirdest looking Epiphone headstock I've ever seen. Looks so much better than the regular one.
where did the strings go!!!
Can u do a slow lesson in your righthand technique
Daaaaaamm Zakk Wylde greetins man!! Awesome as fok u rok buddy\m/
singularity (black hole) included.
Stop complaining that he didn't hold you hand through the Lesson. If you aren't able to watch his fingers and use your ears to figure out what he did, then sorry but you are not a seasoned enough player to play what he's demonstrating in the first place
if you can play what he's playing why the hell would you watch the video? XD
Wow! Fun to watch...hard to learn.
The cold hard truth is you shouldn't be watching a video on chicken picking if you don't know which type of scale you're planning to flow it with. He started out with the foundation of an A Major Pentatonic, and simply showed you can create personal connectors to those foundations to create scales of known types, blues/jazz etc..learn a bunch, they're fun!
Anyone else notice his demon thumb nail, on his picking hand
im done in life you great i try try and try i got some things can break the person neck that says it easy for me
The black label Viagra is kicking in SHIIIIIIIIIIT.
Oh, I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay,.
What a thumbnail
So pick a key then use pentatonic scales then ignore scale and play chromatic with emphasis on the key root note. Use finger picking with a pick. Mutes strings
God dawm!
How am i suppose to play that..Zakk
Hey Zakk please I need of THE Tab for a practic but you go very fast thankyou
Just gimme the tabs zach.
Once again watch closely...
Yeah just call up Tony Montana and have him fill your bathtub with Columbia's finest, hold your breath for 30 seconds minimum, then dive in head first. When you emerge, you'll be at Zakk Wylde speed! 😆 definitely not even close to his level of ability but you'll at least be able to comprehend 800 bpm
Fach yeah 🕶
it's a ultra master class
learning to fly when ain't crawling jet doe's any sense?
You know it’s these easy licks, but it’s the way you use them… look how good I do it
Didn’t know Zakk was a bus driver
All I could do was stare at that thumb nail.
You need more thumbnail in your headphones.
"I'll give you a breakdown on one lick now.." There is only one lick?
no sure exactly what the lick was, did he go over it really lol, I know he kind gave like 3-4 ideas out but it was basically him noodling
help !!! tabs please
