thx again, very clear video, you explain well, it's like me and my guitar teacher
Glad you dig it dude.
You are seriously good at teaching this stuff! Excellent tutorial dude!
Thank you so much ^.^ I'm glad you dig it.
If only you could make logical arguments as well as you could play guitar. Nice tips though! I'll try it with other songs I've been practicing.
I totally get why you might remove this comment, but even though I may watch Bearing's videos, I don't align myself with a particular group. Best of luck!
+Xanos Knightshade thanks for your comment. I'm glad you found some use in the video ^.^
I have a somewhat serious question, by the way. I don't mean to use this opportunity to blurt out my viewpoint, but it's midnight and I felt I needed to let it out. I watched your video in response to Bearing, where you qualified your editing of his statements into one where he was in favor of, or supported, rape, as satire. However, satire is only protected by the law if the content is stated to be humorous in nature or to poke fun and criticize someone's actual statements. Technically, editing his words into a statement that he didn't actually say isn't satire if a reasonable reader or viewer might interpret it as an actual statement he made.
Of course that would require proof on Bearing's part that you had actual malicious intent to damage his character and not just satirize his comments. And, again, I'm not standing in support of anyone. Bearing can appear quite overbearing (no pun intended), but having a dispute online, regardless of the medium, does not solve the issue at hand.
So my question is: Is there a way to settle this, from both sides, and agree to disagree? Yes, from your perspective, Bearing has strong beliefs that disagree with your viewpoint, and those of your friends. However, that doesn't have to mean making videos that instigate him or his followers. The consequences of poking a bear means it bites back, so the best solution is to appear larger, or back away slowly.
To me, I'd want to appear larger, and in argument terms that may mean agreeing to disagree, and calling for a ceasefire, so to speak. Again, I'm looking at this from the middle, and in the long run, with successful guitar tutorials like this one, people are going to look through the past, and what they see might steer them away from what is otherwise a really great channel! Sorry to blurt it out like that, I mean no harm or evil intent.
I'm not responding to questions about bearing on videos completely unrelated to the topic and you can blame your fellow bearing followers for the loss of commenting on the relevant videos.
I appreciated your initial comment but please refrain from the topic of bearing on this video. I will delete the comments if you do not comply.
+Michael Rowlands Again, I'm in the middle. If that's the case, then I don't know if it's possible to resolve it.
How is this "intermediate to advanced"? If you quantify difficulty of playing guitar like you do in this video, then you mind as well put Yngwie Malmsteen's "Now your ships are burned" in the "humanly impossible"-category.
I will say however, that you come across as a good teacher. I'm sure that this lesson will help people that come across it.
I believe it is intermediate to advanced because of the advanced slide and bend techniques used in the solo. It is difficult for different reasons than why a Malmsteen solo is difficult.
"Difficult for different reasons" ?
Isn't that like saying that sugar is better than salt because sugar is sweeter than salt?
A Malmsteen solo is objectively more difficult to master than the solo you're teaching; Therefore, I think that this should be classified as "baby-intermediate" at most, as there are solos that takes much longer time to learn, not to speak of, to master.
I do however, as I stated in the OP, that you come across as a good teacher, and that I'm sure that some will benefit from this.
I would label any "fast" Metallica solo as "intermediate", but I would however not label the particular example that I provided, anything else than "intermediate" as an advanced guitar player would easily master those solos; And they would probably also master more demanding solos like the solo to "Fire garden suite" by Steve Vai, ect.
Difficulty is not subjective, but objective.
If you do not agree, then we clearly have a different opinion of what a good/great/expert guitar player is.
Cheers! Keep up the great work!
No it is not. This solo incorporates completely different techniques to that of fast, shred solos. It is more about tone than speed and that can be a very difficult thing to master.That's not to say that speed playing is not also difficult but, like I said, it's difficult for different reasons.
I'm glad you found some use in the video.
What are you on about? I have university degree in music theory, and I play 4 instruments regularly:
- Guitar
- Bass guitar
- Contrabass
- Timpani
And no, I am not "one of those twats that just memorizes stuff". I played regularly at jazz-jams (seldom now), and often improvised when asked to play a melody.
Memorization is however key when performing a melody when the melody is set(as opposed to improvised). Without memorization of that melody discrepancies would surface pretty fast.
Do you not memorize melodies if/when you perform them?
If not, I'm sure you're really familiar with diatonic signatures, chord progressions, enharmonics and such. You must be, as you never memorize melodies.
Your last two questions I'll answer as one:
Yes. There are multiple things I'm good at.
For example; I play instruments, perform and record music. I also program and do math in my spare time. I have friends that I cherish.
You clearly seem frustrated for some reason, as you find it acceptable lash out at strangers on the internet with no cause or apparent reason. Just my two cents tho.
I'm guessing this was directed at the comment I removed ^.^ Lol. Sorry. Going on a comment deleting spree ;)
