Tom Morello breaks down 5 iconic riffs - from Rage Against The Machine classics to a newy from solo project 'The Atlas Underground'. www.lnwy.co @lnwyco
Imagine that student, like he will be in a bar one day, Killing in the Name comes on, and he will get to be like. "I was there when Tom wrote that riff"
Blip Blorp I can agree with classic rock but not much into metal Beside stuff that boarders classic rock like Motörhead and Judas Priest. But seriously audioslaves self titled album from 2002 is pretty stacked
Imagine being the student that Morello was teaching when he thought of the riff for Killing In the Name. It must be so cool to witness musical history in front of your own eyes.
Toms Audition: Well I don’t know any chords or scales but I can rub the strings with my hand and turn the sound on and off Rage against the machine: Perfect, you’re hired
Really? Ive always seen him as an anti-guitarist. Its like he is that guy that learned a little and quit. One day he tried to fake it and started to do random stuff and something caught his ear, he started learning to manipulate the sounds and that became his drive. Thats what makes hime great. Acting like its anything but that makes it seem, i dont know how to put it without coming off the wrong way or saying he isnt talented. There isnt a piece that he has wrote that a beginner guitarist shouldnt be able to play in an hour or two when it is just picking/strumming note and chords.
HighAngle Larry I see what you’re saying, although I feel like a lot what great guitarists do in between the awesomeness is pretty simple most of the time
I think too many people worry about how good they are based on how many techniques they can do or how many hard solos or whatever they can play. Most guitarist that have 'made it' are not amazing, some arent even that good by most standards.
I know Tom's not the most technical guitar player, he doesn't fly through scales, doesn't sweep, but the guys got such a good ear for riffs its nuts. He has put out sooooo many classic riffs. I think of him like a younger Angus Young, simple riffs that millions of people can groove too.
i very much prefer his style. i think simple things just simply work better. crazy sweeping and soloing has always sounded dull to me personally. i do respect the practice that goes into it tho
6:00 This reminds me a bit of Cathedral, by Eddie Van Halen. Tom is turning down the volume on one of the pickups and using the toggle switch while Eddie has volume going to both pickups, and uses the actual volume switch.
That's why I always liked the guy. He was a modern virtuoso and reinvented the instrument to come up with a whole new program, a whole new way of playing. He looked at the instrument differently and must have spent countless hours learning how it could make different sounds. Then he's got this DJ vibe mixed in too with the scratching and the picks, the switches, and the dials. There's just no way anybody ever comes along like this again.
@@TheWhatthefuck12 "commie hypocrite" ah I get it, you're one one those. When you don't like their music taste, you make up a political position for them and (weakly) attack that instead.
What a unique guitar player. Tom does what almost no other guitar does he has so many cool techniques.... like the little high pitched squeal noise that you hear during the verse on Township Rebellion, It's Tom plucking the g string ABOVE the nut
Tom is a BEAST !!! Original is an understatement. Using a six string as a DJ uses a turntable, with riffs beyond Sabbath, from a black dude with a baseball cap, what can I say...my life is complete. \m/
Tom Morello is the most unique guitarist I have ever seen/heard. He's the definition/the epitome of an innovative guitarist. Brilliant. He's so well-spoken, he can explain a lot of musical concepts thoroughly and clearly. I love this guy, he's epic. I'm glad Rage Against the Machine got back together (so I've heard.)...
@@TheWhatthefuck12 Fooled? Because I like his unique style of playing, that means I was fooled? No, boy, it's a matter of perspectives and what floats your boat. I get it, everyone has an opinion, which is fantastic, but there's away to give it and a way not to. I find him entertaining and unique considering the style of music he plays. No one was fooled, get over yourself, you're just an online guitarist who has no original epic badass guitar solo videos that scream "the gods are having ear orgasms when they hear me play my guitar solo," or even of you shredding a guitar to justify anything you say, especially when that opinion you have is contrary to the opinion of the majority, let alone, my opinion for that matter. I bet you couldn't play his most unique solos let alone come up with one that is just as unique. Nice try, boy, you fooled yourself with your delusions of grandeur...
Tom get's the most unreal sounds that probably shouldn't even becoming out of 6 string,That fuckin' Helicopter is da shit/maybe da same that drop Jimi @ Yasgur's Farm!

Tom: *teaching*
Also Tom: oops, accidentally made a hit song lol
No trump no kkk no facist usa!!!
Also tom: I'm a commie loser that cant play guitar.
@@robertjeffrey5560 he's a brilliant guitar player and riff master
@@robertjeffrey5560 You heard only one song dumbass, nice. Also he does Folk Music half the time as a solo artist.
Imagine that student, like he will be in a bar one day, Killing in the Name comes on, and he will get to be like. "I was there when Tom wrote that riff"
and literally nobody will ever believe him
Right!!!! Too bad ass
That was me!
@@filipdemeyst8842you age
twinfroga twinfromga you what?
“Once upon a time there was a band called Audioslave.” I really felt that :”)
Oouch
@@blipblorp6347 seriously, they had some good licks, who do you like then?
@@kentheonlywellmaybedontoo9754 thrash, death, grind, classic rock
Blip Blorp I can agree with classic rock but not much into metal Beside stuff that boarders classic rock like Motörhead and Judas Priest. But seriously audioslaves self titled album from 2002 is pretty stacked
Same!
Imagine your guitar teacher writing a riff right in front of you and then him going on to take over the world with it.
The Morellian scale lol
feat: robot dolphins
stop
the shit scale sounds like diarrhea running down the wall
Ragian Mode
Bruhhhh haha
Tom is so creative with a relatively conservative setup. He’s kept his pedalboard pretty much the same since the early 90’s. Innovator.
plays the same solo in like 3 or more songs! he blows
Only the flanger was replaced with a phaser during Audioslave until present days
TheWhatthefuck12 that’s a bit of a stretch
@@TheWhatthefuck12 shut the fuck up
@@Mrdvie1 nope fuck off commie douche
7:07 - I have tons of questions.
Same
Ask them guys ....
Same bro, so many questions!!!

Toms Audition:

Rage against the machine:
Perfect, you’re hired
Muskoka Bro Dylan Youve obviously not listened to much RATM because he some insanely complicated solos
Shain Rochester I was just kidding I know he’s good lol

Wow. That last riff is awesome.
Almost sounds like piano on drum machine.
Tom Morello is basically Larvell from _Police Academy_ with a guitar.
That's funny
I know Tom's not the most technical guitar player, he doesn't fly through scales, doesn't sweep, but the guys got such a good ear for riffs its nuts. He has put out sooooo many classic riffs. I think of him like a younger Angus Young, simple riffs that millions of people can groove too.
i very much prefer his style. i think simple things just simply work better. crazy sweeping and soloing has always sounded dull to me personally. i do respect the practice that goes into it tho
can't forget his insane creativity as well!
This is the first time I've seen his guitars without uncut strings hanging on the headstocks
He finally cut those strings!
Theyll grow back soon
Rage was the greatest they were underground till the very end. They did not sell out like the others. Rage & Tom was always smart ..
Self Healing God you gotta be kidding me biggest sell out of all signed to Sony records and was against capitalism lol
@@climey they used the biggest platform that was available, and it obviously worked. They were huge.
@@climey Did they change their music ? Think harder kid....
that helicopter sound is the best of all .. haha tom for life
No matter what he does, he will always impress me.
Very true
I love his music and his unique guitar style, but i really love his speaking, pure personality this one.
This Man Genius on Guitar and Sound Effect, even though the band is no longer active but diq never backs down in music.
He is Guitar Hero.
Tom you’re such an interesting guy, I wish I knew you! Thx for the vid! This was 👍🏻
Love this lesson!
6:00 This reminds me a bit of Cathedral, by Eddie Van Halen. Tom is turning down the volume on one of the pickups and using the toggle switch while Eddie has volume going to both pickups, and uses the actual volume switch.
I just made that same comment , immediately when he started playing it.
The best. Dude tom is the man . Frequencymonster approved!!
keep it kickin tom you are a true guitar hero
That's amazing space sound man...blows my mind
Thank you Tom Morello 🤟🏽
Omg love him❤
this guy is a GENIUS
Takes a brilliant mind to come up with this stuff.
That's why I always liked the guy. He was a modern virtuoso and reinvented the instrument to come up with a whole new program, a whole new way of playing. He looked at the instrument differently and must have spent countless hours learning how it could make different sounds. Then he's got this DJ vibe mixed in too with the scratching and the picks, the switches, and the dials. There's just no way anybody ever comes along like this again.
I always wondered what that awesome intro sound was on Cochise, of course it was the genius Tom Morello.
chills
Any questions?🙊 No. Best guitar lesson video i've ever seen and it gave me this sentence back: there are no rules, just play! Thank you, Tom🙌
Thanks Tom..i still don't know what the hell you're doing. 😆
Same
Love this
He is soooo cool!!
Happy to see the soul power back
Tom sounds like Obama
I reckon he sounds exactly like Ray Manzarek from The Doors
Didn't know that Obama can play the guitar that well
More like Cory Booker
I agree. He's an ignorant doofus.
Hahaha
Thank you Tommy, you are Fucking Amazing! Unique to say the least, enjoyed your tutorial and guitar genius!
The greatest lesson ever! 😁
Thanks Comrade!
Spasibo Tovarish!
Gracias Camarada!
totslly A M A Z I N G ! 👏🏻🎸
Tom Morello, rewrote the "How to Play Guitar" his way!
and it sucks
@@TheWhatthefuck12 for you my friend, for you.
you can keep it commie hypocrite

True Innovator🙌🏼

2:32...bruh, THAT IS JUST AWESOME!

What a unique guitar player. Tom does what almost no other guitar does he has so many cool techniques.... like the little high pitched squeal noise that you hear during the verse on Township Rebellion, It's Tom plucking the g string ABOVE the nut
We love you Tom
Great man
Just.... WOW
No words for this. He is a god
This is gold
It feels good to have that exact same guitar
A true innovator.
Who else thhinks Tom Morello is THE most important guitar hero of the last 30 years: his importance and influence defined a new sound in rock music.
Totally. And i know nothing about guitar. Theres no one quite like him.
this fucking dude is cool as shit I can't lie
How he tells this story every time
So epic his guitar play
GENIUS!
I have those same New Balance shoes. Paid $50 for em. He can afford whatever he wants and wears those. Good stuff
"All right, let's commence to rocking"
This is a different planet of guitar playing...
sure wish I had a guitar teacher like tom really trying to bring it back but it so hard when you have carpal tunnel and tendonitis but i bite thru
All of Eddie's children are out there playing his licks.
He sounds like Brian from family guy lol
Cool!!!!
gracias
Riff Machine! I also had no idea he was so innovative! On the EVH level!!!!
Tom is a BEAST !!! Original is an understatement. Using a six string as a DJ uses a turntable, with riffs beyond Sabbath, from a black dude with a baseball cap, what can I say...my life is complete. \m/
God I love Tom Morello
How not to
Artist.
Imagine being the kid that had that lesson then heard Killing In The Name. “Wait a second this sounds familiar.”
When he talked about Cochise and Chris his voice changed....
?
Amazing 🔥 やっぱりこの人は他のギターリストと違う🥊クリエイティブだ 大好きです✨
just...wow
what a fucking legend
the last song is so fucking beautiful
Tom Morello Masterclass
Badass
What a badass.
this man knows his thing
The man who wanted to be a bass player

@@OdinOConnor333 1:38 he says "a bit of a challenge" LOL watch his hands. A first year player could do better!! FUCKING COMMIE
@@TheWhatthefuck12 He meant that learning the solo was a challenge not that it's hard to play
The oldtimer loved tom..
Keep it up to new ideas of music...🥰🥰
Nice
the craftiest fucking guitarist in the world. bravo bravo
Tom get's the most unreal sounds that probably shouldn't even becoming out of 6 string,That fuckin' Helicopter is da shit/maybe da same that drop Jimi @ Yasgur's Farm!
