#80s #guitar #tutorial - Hudba
I have been living in Finland for the last 14 years and I can tell: Finns rarely teach (or do CZcams), because they are shy and humble, but when they do teach, THEY ARE BEST TEACHERS IN THE WORLD!
Mahtava! Kiitos!
Kiitos!
Oh my god dude, that little tip at the start about tuning some strings flat. THAT JUST BLEW MY MIND. it helps SO much! I'm a very hard picker as well and always wondered why some strings and notes would sound sharp regardless of how accurately I tuned. Amazing! Love the riffs in this too, this all sounds great, definitely found a couple more tricks to add to my arsenal ;)
Wow, I have also the same problem, I think, now it's solved, something so simple yet so genius.
Check out the Buzz Feiten tunings and intonation.
@@oldguyjammin9732 thanks for the tip, I will!
Glad it helped!
from what I understand, it has less to do with hard picking (I'm that way too, that's why I'm interested), and more to do with the fact that it's physically impossible for spanish tuning to be in perfect pitch- from string to string, at least. Tune all the strings to the exact frequency they are supposed to be, and even if you pick very lightly, a couple strings (the B string especially) will still sound like they are out of tune with each other. That's why Eddie did the de-tune trick where he played the G and B slightly flat. When I learned that the greatest of all time used that trick, I felt vindicated for all my friends that have made me feel like I'm going crazy for hearing that something was out of tune all these years.
Edit- I learned that little bit of tuning history from both Pete Thorn and Tom Bukovac!
Thanks for going over the tuning slightly flat on those few strings. Also Panama was sounding awesome haha.
Thanks! 😎
You know how to explain the theory better than most here on youtube Euge, always enjoy these lessons. The In Flames lesson really opened up a lot of the mental blocks I had with how scales and harmonies are used.
Glad to hear man! Thanks!
Wow thanks for doing my request Euge! You're the best dude. This was fantastic. I learned a lot. Really appreciate you doing this.
Thanks man! My pleasure 🤟.
Interesting about the tuning. As an LP player I just assumed that my LPs had intonation issues, because I tend to tune my E and G strings slight flat for the reasons you described. I’m glad I’m not the only one ha. 🎸
😎👌. Old ”trick” and it always works. At least for me 😎.
As always amazing playing and killer tone. I related 110% to playing what sounds and feels good and not thinking about it. 80s riffs forever, brother 🤟
Thanks! 🤟🙏
Thank the oord he is online, most guys are clowns, circus show for clock bate, ive seen videos where you can tell it’s a guy playing guitar, but he got his girlfriend talking
🙏🎼
You’re the best, Euge. Thanks for making this video - really helpful!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks!
So good Euge and so much needed!
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
My pleasure! Thanks!
This was cool and interesting! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Your videos are always awesome.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
Found it! That is exactly what I am into. Rock on! ⚡🌍
Excellent guitar choice and your playing is really really awesome! Love these videos!!!
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks!
No BS, just play what sounds good!! Love it!
Yes indeed. No need to over-complicate anything.
Not only is your sound incredible in your videos, but the way you explain things is very easy for me to understand.
Glad to hear that! Thanks!
@@EugeValovirta230V You’re welcome!
Love this ,Have a nice day Euge.
Glad to hear! Likewise.
Exactly what’s sounds good to you. Great stuff as always.
Thanks!
Another good video thank you Euge 🤘
Thanks!
Euge!! Fantastic lesson as always, love to learn how to write a songs with you. Thank you very much. 🤘🤘😎
Thanks! I have no idea how to teach that since I don’t really know where my ideas comes from. Just whatever feels & sounds good I guess 🤷😎.
Awesome! Also my granddaughter is very excited about the snow owl back in the videos! Lol😊🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
So cool! Thanks!
Thank you for this video! Great advice! I have a similar opinion as I learned by ear in the late 80s. Figuring something out by ear and feel is a great skill
Thanks man! Yes indeed 👌🤟.
Great lesson thank you!
My pleasure! Thanks!
As always your playing is awesome. The best advice you gave is just be raw and always play what sounds good.
Thanks!
Stunning work bro!
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice. Lots of good info on that style in this video.
That pulsing palm-muted pedal tone against moving upper dyad and triad stabs was _really_ popular for years. My mental nickname for it was (and still is) "The L.A. Sound." You played Motley Crue's _Looks That Kill,_ it was also heard in Great White's _Stick It!,_ Dokken's _Just Got Lucky,_ Ratt's _Round And Round_ and many others. But it seemed to be popular with bands in L.A., maybe even as far away as San Diego, not the East Coast or the Mid-West or South, or even other West Coast cities further north like San Fransisco or Seattle.
One thing you missed demonstrating, though, was that descending root against the same 5th thing we heard a lot in the Eighties. The most famous example is probably from 38 Special's _Hold On Loosely,_ but it was all over pop metal in the Eighties--Dokken, Great White, Ozzy, Quiet Riot, Def Leppard, you name it, even AC/DC.
Thanks! Oh yeah I forgot that one 😎👌.
Just found your Channel! Such cool stuff thank you! 🤘😎🤘🎸
Glad to hear! Thanks!
Great lesson, thank you so much! I struggle with shredding because of some injuries, but chords I can do, and these shapes and voicings will definitely help to progress while my hand heals. Subbed!
Thanks!
I love your channel, the benchmark for great tone! I have a Mesa Triple Crown and have used your tone as a benchmark as I've dialed that amp in.
I wanted to thank you for your tip on detuning the B and G strings on Floyd Rose guitars. It also works with guitars that have larger frets. I've played out of tune so many times and messed around with intonation for hours, and this simple tip fixed it instantly. I never would have thought of it myself or thought it was an acceptable thing to do, but coming from you, it's like an "approved" way to tune. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thanks man! Really glad to hear this!
You need more Marshall amplifiers :-)) (They still look amazing on stage. Their look never gets old).
Yes.
Great post dude
Thanks!
I remember EVH and Lynch really kicking of those type of licks . Then Vito and XYZ. Such great summer time vibes. 🔥🔥😎☀️
Yeah! 🔥🎼
Thanks Man. I’ve asked about it. You arę the MAN.
Thanks! 🙏😎
Thank you for making this video lesson! Very helpful for us. I need to practice a lot of these chord shapes you are using.
You have a very talented ear, and you have a gifted sense of timing and rhythm. I am very sloppy compared to you. I need to work on that.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks!
With the epidemic of one dimensional chugging, and shredding going on today, ANY rhythm guitar lesson (80's or not) is something that should be flooding the internet, and lesson studios, worldwide. There's what's now close to 2 generations of guitar players who buy 7-string guitars, yet have no idea how to play a chord, because they're too busy beating on the low-string with a jack-hammer. It's absolutely destroying amp demo's for that matter. But, digress... *One thing I'll add to this is that, you'll notice Euge isn't playing anything faster than maybe 120bpm. If you don't know what that means, you can get a free metronome online these days. Learn 3 chords, and milk the living SH*T out of it, and you'd be surprised what cool things you could come up with. The magic is in the simplicity of it....not the speed, and technical complexity.* Another, somewhat unrelated topic is that compared to today's gain, the 80's guys (including Eddie) used VERY little gain. Listen to Fair Warning...that ain't a Diezel with the gain dimed (another huge epidemic today). Yet, that early 80's tone started a MASSIVE amp craze that to this very day is being chased. GREAT video Euge...you see VERY little online today emphasizing the importance of this.
Glad you call this an epidemic! Speed and complexity are not in my dictionary!
@@ronnierazor4302 Your music will thank you....
The 80’s had an overload of technical speed and complex playing all done to chase Eddie. Eventually the whole thing had to collapse. Sure enough Nirvana came along to milk the shit out of three chords.
@@ryanfraley7113 Amen to every word... And, that's a text-book example of being very careful to what you wish for....right? I was so busy making fun of Poison on on end, and players like Vai on the other, that I got my @ss kicked in by a bunch of heroin addicts from Seattle, that had to struggle just stay conscious just to play those three chords. BIG lesson learned...and I'll never make that mistake again. Young and dumb, as they say. That said, I loved the vast majority of music that came from the late 70's and 80's, and the best of it rarely involved blazing fast arpeggios. Glad to see Euge is getting a lot of requests for this style of playing. Great comment...thanks for posting.
👌🎼
Insightful, pragmatic, direct, and easy to understand - Perfect Lesson. The guitar is a great instrument and tool, but it is a lot more fun to play if you think of it as a "toy" in the best sense of the word.😎
Thanks! 🙏 Exactly 🎼.
D-tuna for the win! Ratt!
Man I'm so glad I got to meet you not once but twice at Sweden Rock! It was the highlight of the festival for me. Awesome video, keep it up. :) I think I ignored some of your other band members at the signing cuz I was so excited and drunk haha, I meant no offense to them!
Cool man! Yes you were which is totally cool 😎🤟. They weren’t offended at all 👌.
Hi, reminds me of Dokken back for the attack record ,great.
And probably hundreds of others ffom that era 😁.
Nice man.... I thought you where about to take with some Vito Brata at 4:02 reminded me of Wait. Good stuff man!
Thanks man!
Great video. I think we are on the same wavelength!
Thanks!
Hi Euge I've been using my ds-1 a lot lately as a clean boost a little bit of drive periodically 🤟🤟🙏🙏💪💪
Nice!!
howdy 👋
i’ve been looking for a good guitar channel.
🤠
Howdy 🕺. Hopefully you found one 😎.
Great video, and thank you for this tip to flat!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks!
Where there is Euge, JCM 800, SD-1 and 80's, you know you got a winner.
😎🕺🤟
You've got my attention with your statement in the first minute!
Actually I don't like this 80s metal already since the 80s. :)
But as a guitar player, I can't ignore it. Even I 've learned the classic riffs, just for the technics.
Keep on rockin' !
Thanks!
@@EugeValovirta230V I've forgotten one point: You explain it on a very authentic, well grounded style. Interesting way for me, to learn something in this cool way! Wished, my teacher back in the 90s did the same
🙏
Wowie Maui that is some real rock music lessons; "Pasadena 78" rocks the one from your album, "Shooting From the Hip."
Thanks!
@@EugeValovirta230V You bet! Your channel has really advanced and taken off Euge. All wellness and prosperity to you and yours. I,ve progresses so much playing and thinking watchin you just play with my ears and eyes. Your roots are really 78 rock feel great songs. I downloaded everything you have put out on 🍎 music. Hope you get more out🤟
Really glad to hear all of this! Thanks! Much appreciated 🙏.
Euge delivering the goods. I spy a snus can….I think 🤔
😎👌
Great lesson! I wish I had received such great pieces of advice when I started playing back in 1994. The '80s were still near and we still drooled when we listened to those rockstars, but living in a small town with no electric guitar culture around, no other players to grab skills from, no decent guitar setup, no internet, the best you got were those photocopies of lessons with no audio that someone lent you for a couple of days, which of course mostly led you in wrong, non-musical, unnatural ways of playing, so you just ended up quittting. 😂
Thanks!
This was cool and quite nostalgic. Amazing how the 80's riffs are so influenced by each other. Would love to see you do a deep dive in "Looks that kill", it's a groovy song! As for equipment and guitars, I bought a couple of guitars just for the cool looks and wanting to own them. Usually this means a lot more play time out of pure enjoyment. I usually don't sit down with a Jackson King V though, too uncomfortable, a strat is much more convenient. It's like Wolf Hoffman of Accept says that he's not playing a Gibson Flying V on all those classic records, it's usually a super strat, much easier to handle in the studio.
For playing a Flying V sitting down: Sit lower. Like on a couch instead of a chair. Your knees should be slightly higher than your thigh socket. Sit on the edge. Put the crook of the V over your right leg if you're right handed. There you go. If you sit up high in a chair or on something like a barstool, that V will want to slide off you.
Wearing a strap helps, too.
@@OgamiItto70 Thanks for the tips. The "classical" position sure works, but it takes some getting used to 😀
@@TheMack I noticed this watching a video with Zack Wylde sitting on a couch playing a Randy Rhoads-style Jackson, so I tried it with my Gibson Flying V and it worked a treat.
I usually play standing up, though, V's, Les Pauls or superstrats. Because I want to practice the way I'm going to play.
@@OgamiItto70 Agreed, that's a smart move.
Thanks! I’ll think about that 😎👌.
Euge Rules …. End of story 🤟🏻
🤟😎🙏
It's nice hearing some one say you don't need reverb and delay . Just plug in and let it rip !
Yeah I mean reverb & delay will give you (just) reverb & delay no matter what style of music you’re playing.
As soon as he said it's not about the gear, I thought OMG someone's telling the truth here, I better listen.
👌🙏
What kind of picks are you using? 😊
Dunlop Tortex 1,14mm. The purple ones.
Great lesson Euge! I grew up playing in the 80’s myself,and as you said, no internet to help us. Most of us played by ear and what sounded good.However, I would love to know your approach when soloing over a chord progression, or how you choose what licks fall into the right chord. I would love to see how you choose where to play on the neck over a given chord or even progression.
Thanks.
Thanks! Whatever serves the song the best. That’s pretty much it. I usually hear it in my head and then I just play it. But sometimes I just switch my brains off and go just with an instinct and no clue what I’m about to do 😎🕺. Sometimes that works and sometimes it’s just shit 😁.
@@EugeValovirta230V
Surely you must know what key and scale your using? I understand playing by feel, but surely your using at least pentatonics …i mean, your not just taking a dart and throwing it on the fretboard…are you?
Of course. I know music theory and I don’t really have to think about it when I play, write etc. cos I’ve been doing this for a while 😎.
@@EugeValovirta230V
Thats the thought process I was hoping to get a little insight on. I would love a video explaining how you approach your lead playing. Especially in a solo situation when multiple chords are involved.
Thanks!
I don’t really know how to explain it. Sometimes I hear them in my head and then I play what I hear. If I hear something happy I’d start obviously with something major, if the song calls for evil solo, and the harmonic ”structure” supports that I might go with some Phrygian stuff etc. But many times I’m just noodling until I come up with something I like. Sometimes the leads are complitely written and sometimes complitely improvised. Sometimes I write the lead part (chords) so that they support (a lead) idea I might have. It’s kinda like writing songs. You either know how to write songs or you don’t. If I knew where they come from I’d be a wise man 😎. So the answer is what was my original answer. If it sounds good, it’s good.
Now you talking 😁👍🏻
😎🤟
That's my way of hearing and learning stuff as well, Euge. Does that mean we are officially Old now?................................
Maybe 😁🤷.

KIller tips thanks man, I love warren and robbin as a guitar duo! Are you familiar with HIM at all? I know you're from finland as well. Mikko is a very tasteful player
Thanks! Yeah we’re from the same city 👌.
You and the Bad Boy always conjure up some downright nasty tones, but I think this is the best tone I've heard yet from you.
Thanks!
Is the Vintage speaker different than a Vintage 30?
It's an OEM version Celestion makes for Marshall. Actually sort of the original V30. Both companies state specs differ, auditioning tests tell they're roughly the same speaker.
Production specs do differ through the years or even batches, though, but that's unavoidable in any industrial production gear, especially something based on paper, glue, and a couple of turns of wire around the voice coil.
Yes: czcams.com/video/ZFaw-8t4tHc/video.html
"Just put the fingers where it sounds good"
👌
Legend, good video Euge. Dyad's, 80's, so smooth. I too love the harder rock but one of my favourite examples of Dyad's and pedal tone is this glorious 80's soft rock song....80's style in spades, beautiful song writing, stylish production, 80's babes, people looking super cool...put me back in 1987 any day. czcams.com/video/FMmBwCSk6sw/video.html
Thanks! Oh yeah! Brought back memories 🕺.
Sir, you should consider start selling your courses like Paul Davids! I would be the first to buy. Paul has good stuff there, but not really rock and metal style.
Thanks! We’ll see maybe someday 😎.
Ear Training!!! Rewinding cassettes over and over and over again, lol. No need for ear training anymore with a million tabs and tutorials available... too bad really.
Yes. Those were the days 👌😎.
For me every guitar player should learn how to play the blues and some classic 80's guitar riffs even if you are not into it. It makes you a much better guitar play imo.
👌🎼
The panama version was horrible man. What are you doing? Listen to the song man.
Didn’t play that.
@@EugeValovirta230V in the beginning you tried
What Dokken song is that?
Street Fighting Man by Lynch Mob.
