- Joel Hoekstra is back! In this special edition of "School of Rock" Joel shows you 15 ways to take a simple riff to the next level and get you sounding like a rock star! Check it out!
I wish this dude was my guitar teacher in person...
Thank you Joel!!! Awesome lesson. Im a 43 year old beginner and this has opened a huge door for me to have fun for a while with my electric guitar!
Hoekstra and Guthrie Govan are probably this generations best teachers for rock, as well as other styles on the guitar. Both very humble, very good at holding your attention, and very good at illustrating the lesson.
Angel Vivaldi is pretty good too. But yeah,in terms of teaching, he's nowhere near these two.
I'd throw Paul Gilbert in there too. Outstanding instructor.
@@jonlate4581 Agreed, Paul is an amazing instructor and very humble guy, he's just of the prior generation.
@@brianjones8432 Hoekstra is 52 yo
@@frankswildyear Sure.... But didn't rise to prominence until the last 15 years or so. Wasn't referring to physical age so much as popular relevance.
Where was this when I was a teenager ...great stuff and he sounds like a great guy too !
Love these series of lessons by Joel...he teaches well
He is brilliant I love this guy...
Joel is an amazing teacher. All of his lessons are easy to follow and he does a great job simplifying these riffs so you feel motivated to work on them and not deflated cuz they seem too hard, rather you feel confident
THANK YOU SO MUCH Joel! You boosted me 3 years ahead. I'm learning the guitar now for 18 months and it's exactly what you telling here. Riffs, licks, solos suck. Whyyyyy (arrrrrrrgh....) I wondered all the time. Your 15 (and a half) steps to Rock n' Roll put all the bits and pieces l've learned so far together. Now I understand. Now I see the whole picture. It's amazing, it works. Wow! Again, Joel - thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you !!!
I am exited too! I share your thoughts!
AWESOME LESSON - Joel is one of the greats!

Excellent !
I can’t believe he didn’t cover jump kicks.
Best pick hand techniques tutorial ever! All encompassing. Shows many great “tricks.” I am self taught. My pick hand has always held me back. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Joel! Your instructional videos are first class. This new vid followed by your string bending video from a while back are personal favorites. Appreciate your time!
Humble and great, the sound of that guitar ...wow
Great stuff - Joe's attitude when talking riffs, tricks and guitar in general in one of a passionate man!
Everyone should appreciate these lessons!! This is Great Stuff for Free! Great Guy here!
I totally agree Matthew. Joel is amazing.
This may be the most valuable lesson anyone can learn. Having a foundation of knowing how to make a single note and then a simple slow phrase sound good ought to be compulsory before learning how to shred.
As for hammer-ons, Joel is doing a thing he doesn't really explain or realizing he's doing; he's sometimes re-picking the fifth fret note immediately before hammering-on to the seventh fret note. That almost qualifies as a trick in its own right.
Using fingers or hybrid picking is the standard way for country pickers, but heavy rock guys like Richie Kotzen does it exclusively too
Excellent Joel !!!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Man that was exactly what I was looking for....all the techniques in one. Thank You!!
This man flies way under the radar
Great idea for a lesson! New stuff for us teachers to pass on to our students. Goldmine for techniques! Thanks
Outstanding lesson for anybody.
I wish I'd see this video 10 years ago. Good Job! 👌
Thank you for the great and clear lesson... We really appreciate it .
Mad love to the Whitford/St. Holmes shirt.
That was an underrated gem from the early 80's.
Great lesson from an awesome dude!
Thank you Joel!!!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
what a great teacher!
Joel is a great player and a great teacher!!!
great lesson, I'm very happy you demonstrated artificial harmonics. My own logic told me you tap on the 5th, 7th, 12th fret from the note, but without seeing it demonstrated and having someone explain it it was just me guessing. Thanks for the lesson.
Joel is a good teacher. With just a simple phrase, he showed we can go far....real far!
Excellent teacher, thanks Joel ! A gentleman rocker for sure !
Thanks for these free lessons, GW and Joel! Awesome!
The professor Joel! Rock on!!!
Thanks for sharing your skill and knowledge
Thanks so much. This has been a massive breakthrough for me. Keep it up
This lesson has really hit home with my playing!
Seen Joel play with TSO,what a amazing show.
GREAT stuff as usual! It's necessary to point out that pick/pinch harmonics, trill harmonics and false (tapped) harmonics are much easier to achieve when the bridge pickup is selected. They'll work on the neck--or both pickups, but not nearly as easy to nail. Cheers!
Joel muchas gracias por estos regalos son unas lecciones increíbles y nunca cambies esa humildad, Joel thank so much for these gifts they are amaizing lesson and never change your humility, greeting from Chile
Frampton Comes Alive! ( in the background on wall ) Now that's respect! ;)
thanx joel, what a teacher you are. 🙏🏻.
Favorite teacher!! Makes learning fun!! Thanks Brotha!
great lesson! Thx
There are guitar heroes & guitar superheroes. Joel might be one of the superheroes, saving someone stuck on the rut.
Joel is so cool. Love his style.
Whoooaa....he's back!
This is fantastic
Joel is da man!
Joel is back! Wahoo!
His tone is so good no matter what rig he is using.
Wow I have been playing so many years but I still learned like a couple of techniques today ... Thanks !! Also I love your tone!! ❤️😀
you are the only one that makes sense out of this for me, i finally got it,. thank you bro,.
what a great lesson from such a likable dude!
I watch so many videos and wow this was the most I've been taught in any
Lição incrível.Muito bom Joel
Awesome lesson! So many great tricks to master and apply.
Awesome job Joel!
Great info.
Man,what an awesome lesson,dude.👍🇦🇺
@1:07 he's such a good teacher!!! hahaha love this dude
Great player
GIMMIE THAT TONE!!!
crappy tone
probably the best teacher out there,.
Dude, pinch harmonics were the blackest magic for so long.
Well that was awesome..!!;)
Good stuff! Thanks for making this. Happy New Year!
love it!
this guy is so nice and hes a scorpion wow
I wish I had this video 10 years ago
Perfect Strangers riff? NICE!
Great!!!!
Excellent guitariste... excellent pédagogue aussi, l'un n'impliquant pas nécessairement l'autre...
I love the Whitford St.Holmes hoodie
Hmmm, well if this here old dog (65) can select a few of these ways and actually use them constructively and regularly, then my guitar playing abilities would have greatly improved !! Making the transition from bass to guitar has definitely been challenging to say the least, but I love it !!
Joel is killer guitarist, I liked him as a big fans,i want to have it his Les Paul
Joel is a beast..
And cools everything down so people can understand..
Great instruction…!
Yes Gilbert and Guthrie are just as amazing.!
However the great master Shawn Lane talks everything slow and amazing however still can’t figure his stuff out..!!
The term I learned was "Pinch harmonic" which makes a lot more sense since you are pinching the string between pick and finger.
you didn't know , Joel did it for you !
Me gusta mucho como usted toca , Joel , yo soy bajista cubano con cincuenta anos de experiencia en el rock me gustaría contar con su amistad , y watesnake , una banda formidable me encanta Pepe fuñy ,
What gear does he use here to have so great sound???!!! Joel is an amazing musician anyway, I saw him live with Whitesnake, he is a killer guitarist!!!
These are the frets all Gibson should come with
Joel, you forgot the fake wah: Instead of the 10 bridge/0 neck volume toggle switch trick, do it on the tone controls. Bob Kulick did this when subbing for Ace on Alive II (side 4). You don't have to have it 10 on the bridge and 0 on the neck for the tone controls either. You can have it 8 and 3, etc. for a more muted wah (sorta like a Jerry Cantrell wah, for instance). And since the middle position will sum the two, you can get 3 different wah type voicings. Try it sometime.
Very fucking cool 🤘
My vibrato needs help. Now that I think about it, so does my picking, fretting, phrasing, tone, pull-offs, slide ins, slide outs and bending. I'm sure I left something out. Yeah, I pretty much suck.
Play notes inside and out of the pentatonic box shape. Two melodies moved up and down the neck
Some of these techniques do require a fairly high gain distortion tone, pinched harmonics and the harmonics when trilling won't happen easily without that.
Tip one. Have Joel play them.
i'll keep note of that...
My first teacher told me to do what ever I do at home . Wich was nothing resembling music I just purchased the quitar.
The entire lesson he was on the phone trying to sell his 12 string work to different people.
Then before I left he showed how to play Peter gun on one string.
I never went back to that guy
I wonder what gear did Joel use with his Les Paul? It would be very helpful and appreiated if you guys (Guitar World) would post it.
How do you make that happen
I’ve got to ask what effect pedals are you using in this video to get your tone?
4:21 seconds to 4:29 seconds - Mick Mars vibes!
take me to the top? haha
I'm a master guitarist and I still study basics.
Great vid, but no double stops?
What guitar is that..where can I buy one..what a tone?
Gibson Les Paul R7
I want to know.Who taught you?
What issue is this in?
Ohio like that!! 👀😉👍
I think when it come fake harmonics dimebag gave me the the best advice for both natural and and fakes he said it's a technique that will be dicking with your whole life something learn and master and remaster different way fucking with different shit I still fuck with harmonics all the time lots of different ways to use them so if you read this comment and having issues with pinch are natural just start fucking around with them a ton of different techniques you will learn by simply messing with them
Joel is back!! SOB...now where is that instruction GW video ?? jokes man but make one if you can we would all get it..WELCOME BACK BROTHER!! what a surprise man wholly shit!! Dam.
