I was gonna bring you up, but I'm late to the party. Same goes to you though, I really prefer, both aurally and physically, the open chord way of playing enter sandman. I like how all the notes ring, without the unavoidable harmonics of fingered notes.

legendary licks that you think are hard (because you play them wrong)
Ottima idea; non ci avevo pensato ;)
I think that the way he played the For Whom The Bell Tolls lick would fall into that category.
So like they're easier than you're making them? Like maybe under the bridge, thunderstruck, etc?
@@ryndanriley5348 definitely thunderstruck stop picking and just hammer and it gets so much easier
He's done it
Fun licks you think are fun (because they're fun)
Tom Cello Fun licks you think are boring (because they are boring)
Idk if that makes sense or not lol
lol I get it
the riff in Tornado of Souls is really fun.
Notice how every single player from Clapton to this guy shows John Mayer the utmost respect.
Its because he is really good, and deserves all the respect he gets, contrary to the belief of some.
despite being a pop star, which many guitarist don't like, he is a guitar god who has composed so many amazing guitar riffs and melodies, like in neon
He may be a good guitarist, but his dick is a white supremacist.

Great video / lesson. I don’t even play guitar and you had me thinking I could pull them off. I can tell you’re a fantastic teacher. Cheers!

Had someone tell me once I was playing teen spirit wrong with the open strings. Spent an hour of my intro to guitar class debating it with our class. I won
All the extra strings Kurt played were incidental.

This is my favorite legendary licks entry. Thank you sir!
Smells like teen spirit intro perfect details is found in a video by "art of guitar"..
@Novi yeah
Art of guitar is a great channel but he got it wrong. The “Cobain chord” isn’t in teen spirit, he only hit the extra string accidentally live because he was sloppy. The studio recordings don’t have the “Cobain chord” because mistakes were edited out & a perfect take was comp’d. The “Cobain chord” isn’t something he did intentionally, they’re mistakes he sometimes (but rarely) made live. They’re not on the studio recordings.
There's a video named something like "best riffs ever written" by tyler..did he play "smell like teen spirit" intro exactly like the correct way mentioned in this video?
Humayun Rashid same with enter sand man
The Cobain chord definitely is in Teen Spirit, the chord wasn't just a result of sloppy playing or of mistakes while playing live, it's just how he played bar/power chords since he never had a guitar teacher to properly instruct him and he found it to be easier. The Cobain chord just uses the index and ring finger to bar the strings, leaving out the pinky, which results in the distinct sound. When I first started playing guitar, that's what felt the most natural to me as well and it wasn't until I took lessons a few years later that I switched to the "proper" bar chord technique. Just listen to the isolated guitar tracks on Nevermind, it's everywhere (especially on the first 3 seconds of Teen Spirit).
When he told me to guess by the intro I was soooo confident it was Say It Ain’t So.
Holy shit me too! Haha glad I’m not the only one lmao
Same
Quickly becoming one of my go to guitar channels, vids get right to the point and have a good balance of humour and info. Already learned a lot over the past couple of weeks going through the channel.

after watching a whole lot of your videos over many months, i've finally subscribed. the reason for being so late is that i didn't want to see a cocky guitarist in my feed everyday. but now i'm sure that you're greatly talented and humble at the same time :)
Excellent series, thank you!
I just found your channel and it's awesome! I've been playing for 23 years, but I'm completely self taught. I found that the way you played the Enter Sandman riff is absolutely correct, but I prefer to just play the g string open instead of playing the 5th fret on the d string. Then I don't have to twist my hand into a crazy shape to let that note ring and it also lets the 7th fret 5th string note to ring as well. Without professional instruction it took me forever to understand good hand placement and economy of motion, but those two things make a huge difference in actual consistent performance. The easier a movement is to do the more consistently you will do it correctly and thus have less to think about while playing. That extra time can be spent improvising or just focusing on keeping your timing right if you play with a band. Great channel, great content! Liked and subscribed!
Muchas gracias , me enseñaste a tocar como se debe y puedo decir que eres de los pocos verdaderos guitarristas que hay en youtube
Thanks for the insights on many of my old favorite riffs. I always played by ear and hence learned many things wrong, so now that I am 65 old habits die hard, damn it's hard to believe I'm 65 years old but I've been blessed to live through some of, if not THE best and most influential bands and musicians of all time. Back when talent was less reliant on technology and gadgetry and more on creativity and pure raw talent. I Now realize how influential some of my guitar idols really have been. They gave others so much to build on and in many cases become even better. However many in this generation still seem to forget the original talent that sparked the many newcomers abilities to improve upon the old and create the new. I am grateful for all those who are willing to post their talents here. One day I'll break out of my introverted self and post my own improvements after 30 years of doodling on and off, now that I'm retired and have more time! Thanks again all.
Dude your videos are great!
Upcoming next : Splendiferous Riffs you think are played in a major key but are in fact cantaloupes (and they will)
"Legendary licks you play them wrong (because of the tuning)"
Seriously, I've seen a lot of people tryin' to play songs like Yesterday, Kashmir, Come as you are, Sad but true, Toxicity, etc. as in the original recordings, but their guitars are always tuned to E Standard (or Drop D)... so, they get from pretty decent (but not correct) to horribly awful results...
Especially GNR and ACDC
For the intro to sad but true, you can get like 98% precise tone color in drop D if you play the G power chord barred with your ring finger on the D note an octave up and same with your pinkie on the G an octave up. So the shape you use is basically a double power chord or you could say a two octave power chord. Use that shape for G and A flat power chord and the rest should be self explanatory. The bridge to the verse is the only annoying part because I’m not sure if the notes used with just drop D are 100% accurate but basically open D power chord, pull off from c to open on A string, pull off from 7 to 6 on the drop D string, then pull off from 5 to open on the same string and play the open power chord again. Then again I’m not in a cover band nor do I plan on it so idk if guys like that truly pay attention to the details when they learn songs
What tuning is come as you are in then smartass?
@@johndoe2883 serious question because I'm new and would love to know
I think this is mainly a beginner problem in my opinion, but that is a great video topic anyway
Nice stuff and great sense of dry humor!
This is just...an awesome freaking video. Thank you!
I always heard that sound in Teen Spirit when Kurt goes from 133 ADG (i don't know the names) power chord to the 466 EAD, but I always thought he slid from 355 EAD into the 466 power chord. Now that I hear it played with open strings, it puts something I've been wondering about for over 25 years to rest.
You should be using power chords of the notes F Bb Ab Db (you can find that online). No real sliding happening
@@emmywillow6599 Since the vid discusses it basically down to this level: the slide I think he's talking about is to get the "dah dah /open/ DUNduhduh" as you switch to the 4. He's saying he heard the open strings as a slide.
Depending on how messed up Kurt was, it's entirely possible (same with that stutter, it's all flavor). I had the same issue early on, before I learned to... coordinate my hands. Haha. Basically, earlier on, you feel less safe about leaving the fretboard with your left. If you don't pick your hand up, your fingers will rub the string, which will most likely pick up the low-E over the A or D. Hence, a slide which sounds passable to newbies.
And the song isn't really interesting after you learn it, unless you're into grunge. It's literally this riff and a phased 1-1 on the b-e strings. That's it. The whole point of grunge was to not be as intricate and "put together" as disco, hair metal, etc. Doesn't mean they weren't great musicians, or that it was just grunge that reacted like that. The Grateful Dead and Phish both do/did this. Pearl Jam. Philip Glass composed like this (as did his mentor, John Cage). Basically anyone you'd describe as "counter-culture". In the 90s they called it alternative, grunge when it was dirty and pop-punk when it was clean.
Or, to put grunge in today's (10 years ago's) perspective: "It all sounds auto-tuned!" or "Music today has no soul!" That's a whole other topic though. Haha. (By the by, Phish became the most successful indie band in history a few years ago. They played a 13-night run at MSG and sold out every night. If you're looking for real music, it ain't on the radio anymore. Last was maybe Amy Winehouse? Even Adele gets pitch-corrected.)
I would even put John Mayer in the alt category. He made his money playing saccharine pop songs, now he plays with Dead and Co. A lot of people hated him at first because all he could play was the pentatonic, and the Dead use... more than that. Better to have a jazz background, really. He still hits the "this isn't right" switch in my brain when he jams, but it works better if I think of it as a cover band, which it is.
John, if you see this: good lord, learn how Jerry used triplets. That's what you're missing.
Hell yeah great vid! The other cool thing, is when you do covers for ppl, you can do the correct version up front and then do the "wrong" way mixed in there, and give a little sonic variety. The listener probably won't know, but your fingers will look different and look like you're doing the more.
I'm in love with that blue Gibson 🤘🏼🔥
The strat sounds amazing!
"7 levels of Teen Spirit" is a video that covers all this little parts
The way Tyler plays the opening to Sunshine of Your Love at 14:29 sounds better to me than the Clapton original. The crispness, attack, and tone in the way Tyler plays this opening part of the song take it to another level.
Incorrect
Disagree
Wrong, not even close to as good
To be fair, there's decades of tech improvements between now and when that song was written lol I wouldn't say it's better, just has that "new" or "modern" touch to it. So, different, not better. I like it, too though lol
I literally just fell in love with that last guitar you were using( btw the video was dope thx a lot!)
Thank u soooo much.
All ur guitars r beautiful
I usually play Enter Sandman with a lightly picked open G. It sounds nearly identical to the recording and it's easier than the reverse power chord method
As much as I like your vidz, you're wrong, Art-of-guitar examined Smells Like Tenn Spirit very thoroughly.
Really enjoyed this video!!!
Brother..... you are one unique honest individual, it's refreshing to see someone who has a sense of humor as well as being egg-headed, in other words, you're smeert, lol. Have a good one, hope to see more of your videos, excellent job by the way.
My guitar teacher taught me Smells Like Teen Spirit the correct way and for that I am very thankful.
As soon as I saw that I was doing Enter Sandman wrong I immediately whipped out my guitar an started copying what he was doing
THEODDPLAYER some people are saying that it was played with an open g in the recording
Holy shot man you don’t even understand, I haven’t even picked up my guitar in months, and I literally was like wtf! I need to do this now and did the same, got up went and found my guitar and started trying, shit it’s hard but damn makes so much sense and sounds so much better! It’s inspired me to start playing against my start really learning new stuff and techniques and stop playing the same shit I learned 10 years ago over and over lmao
Same dude
I’m 30 and remember when I was 15 getting a danelectro pedal. And I see you playing a danelectro guitar. My, how times have changed. Never would have thought
This helps one to work the hearing, great video, man, thanks. I love details in music, I play simple songs but I like these little things that make a sum of differences that give you a certain style in music...

that strat sound..never gets old
You are the most down to earth person on CZcams , Watched this video 30X.
I truly feel like enter sandman is the metal version of smoke on the water. Damn near everybody plays it different than each other but nobody ever plays it the right way
Do more this videos! Brown Eyed Girl is one of the songs who everyone plays wrong. Money for Nothing from Dire Straits too! All Along the Watchtower, Hendrix version too. Nobody plays the intro rhythm and notes right!
People getting Money For Nothing wrong hurts my soul
I play those songs right, and I hate people who don't, they are really easy
Don’t forget this is the guy who gave Mark Knopfler a 6/10... so idk about him doing money for nothing
I subbed coz this was a super video man !
