I love how they had to create a video just to tell people that they weren't High when they made this video
It was just really hot you guys
Some one was cranked
They're on one
Haha yeah we believe you guys 😂😂
Who cares that they were?
"Here is a blues scale" - Doesn't play a blues scale. Legend
That was HIS blues scale
Clues scale, there ya go
Blues clues?
Yeah i was thinking that too hahahah.
Is he playing dorian with the added blues note?
Alright, better watch this for the 100th time
I almost forgot to watch this again today!
"I took polka lessons for two years" is a strong start, and it only gets better.
What did you learn? ...the polka
"you can't upstroke yourself into toughness." My guitar education is finally complete.
So glad this video is back.
Break stuff proves this theory wrong.
stevie ray Vaughan had a mean sounding upstroke.
"Im not the greatest guitar player in the world but i just love it". More of us need to remember this.
Once I stopped feeling like I needed to play music to get famous it made me love it even more! Being able to create something you enjoy and getting better at your craft is what drives me now. It's very freeing!
And at the end of the day, he has created some of the greatest rock music
"Tapping is like a very silly thing - It's what opportunity does softly." - Josh Homme
Is it just me who don't get that reference/joke? What does he mean? 😅
@@joakimkarlsson4893
Fellow Swede here not understanding either.
Well, when Edward van Halen introduced tapping to the world on Eruption, it didn't sound soft, but cool af.
@@GatherCitizens Oh god I hate/love Josh so much.
@@Anton-wk8lv he speaks like the unserious poet he is. He’ll never admit that’s what it is lol. He describes things in the most obtuse ways that just make sense, moreso than being direct sometimes
This episode has been living in my head rent-free since it went live the first time. I've been waiting years for this... Thank you, Matt & Josh!
100% SAME!
I swear I saw this years ago
@@Jeremya74 you did.
@@Jeremya74 you did.
@@Jeremya74 Of course! This is an HD re-upload
Jesus. Someone turn on the air conditioning and give these two guys another joint.
A joint? Gotta go harder than that...
This is my favourite guitar video on CZcams.
Andy timmons and paul gilberts recent sweetwater video is my favorite. This is top 10 for sure tho
"When you expect anything from music, you expect too much. So, you play to yourself, you play to enjoy it, and you make the most of it for you. Period." Wise words.
04:55 the moment Josh became my favorite guitar player many years ago
Them saying in the lil catch-up vid that production thought they were too fucked up in this to air it is crazy bc that's the exact reason it's so fun to watch.
All the episodes of Guitar Moves are the shit but this episode is King Shit. Josh Homme is the fuckin man. Great player, humble guy, really funny. Matt’s enthusiasm is infectious. I think he’s digging it the most.
Josh is a riff machine and a beast of a guitarist. He undersells himself here by saying he's not, but I get the message. It's important to just play to satisfy yourself. I don't know what I'd do without the meditative quality of just playing guitar to relax and have an outlet
Josh’s tone is so amazing in this.
Telecaster.
Peavey Decade amp
Its all in the hands... and lets face it, his hands are pretty ham fisted.
.. MULE..@@ColinStevenJohnson
So much sweat, eye contact, and groovin.
One of the best guitar interviews of all time.
While I was expecting & excited for a NEW guitar moves session with Josh, I also quite enjoyed watching this once again for the 1000th time.
I love how they didn’t turn that snare drum off in the background.
YAY! IT'S BAAAAACK!!! Turns out they weren't doing mountains of blow. It was just really hot in there.
don't say yay...
Why@@loontil
Who are you,the yay police
..preddy much...@@SHAFFA71
coz it's cringe...like writing "why" with no question mark..@@SHAFFA71
That original video is still one of my all time favorites. 2 guys talking music trying not to die in a hot and humid space. Their chemistry is hilarious!
josh homme is a gift to the world, hope this dude health and happiness in all future endeavors
Been waiting for this one!! This series is such a gift.
Thanks for re-uploading
Such a cool dude. He cares but not too much. He just loves his craft. Not much inspires me but his riffs always get your feet moving. His music demands it actually. Love it, man.
I was all over the high seas looking for this interview yesterday (unsuccessfully). Then, as if by magic... thanks lads!
Nice. Thanks for the reupload! Classic episode.
such a legendary video, finally revived!
A classic. Thanks for re-uploading. We need John Reis for the next season!!
First off every music interview should have the artist with their instrument like this one and only musicians interview them !This interview hang out is amazing and it is honestly the best rock star riff writing inspiration I have seen ! Thanks guys.
I have waited years for this moment and it does not disappoint.
This is a better insight into Billy Gibbons' playing than the Billy Gibbons episode.
Billy always has so speak in rhymes and metaphors 😂
It totally is. The BFG one was fun, but my biggest takeaway was that he’s friends with kid rock.
who needs tapping when you’ve got POWERCHORDS!!! Learning to play on simple black flag riffs might have been one of the coolest things I ever did for myself as guitar player, in terms of shaping my own unique style and tone
I get to watch and like it all over again. Thanks Matt and Josh.
my absolute fav. episode. love it!
Been waiting for this one. And it dropped on my lunch break😮💨😎
that snare buzz tho
This video and the one Matt did with St. Vincent changed how i play guitar. Thank you so much.
So glad these are back i missed em soo
So happy this video is back
The best Guitar Moves episode, for sure!
man i wish this video had been reuploaded a little bit sooner, i was trying to link it to someone in a discussion at some point like a month ago. glad to see it's back tho!
I remember always being questioned or made fun of for playing power chords "the wrong way". I'll never forget watching the original upload of this and being so excited that one of my biggest inspirations in music plays them the same way I do (2:25 in the video).
Matt I cant believe you have as many subscribers as you have your content is unbelievable thanks so much.
I think this might be the best video on the internet.
Josh is a regen from a different era. He is the coolest guy in "modern" rock.
What an episode!
Josh Homme really did create a very unique sound. The ramones chords all the way across in major key appears in a lot of their music!
my god I need longer version of this !!
Probably my favorite episode
The one we've waited for.
I can watch Josh play forever 😍
Absolutely love this!
He’s fucking gorgeous
This video brings back so many great memories 😂
Best guitar interviewer/show of all time🤟🏻🤟🏻
It's finally back!
Wow killer episode.
I love the fact that he talks about the lick at 7:11 because that was a lick J Mascis talked about in his episode!
Joshhh everything about him and his style I likeee
"yeah cause this is something I wanted to ask you about... what the hell are you doing?" LOL
My favorite episode
The best Guitar Moves episode
Had my guitar in my hand the whole time... Jammed with Matt and Josh damn! Thanks so much!!
finally! ive tried to find this to share it about a cajillion times
Blows my mind how he holds his guitar pick
Would love to see a John Frusciante episode!
Ever since first hearing this interview, I have wanted to form a band called ‘Joe Schitt the Ragman and the Gravel Gurdeys’ and never explain the origin of the name.
This is the holy grail of guitar videos
One of Josh’s song with the most obvious billy gibbons influence is spinning in the daffodils, it’s got the same type of riff as ZZ Top’s song called Sheik, and it’s groovy af
Welcome Back!
Awesome!
Can anyone else hear the snare buzzing away in the background everytime they play something!?
More like "Snare Moves" amirite?
You're not wrong my friend
Best video on CZcams, ever.
LOVE THIS ❤
"I'm hearing voices when no ones around" @13:26
Looking for any comment about this and here you are! Do you know what that's from? It's not that song but it's a killer line.

@@xDariusGamer You are a saint
Ahahah I never noticed that part before, The smile on Joshes face as Matt quotes black flag haha
I got to see both these guys in concert the same night. Zwan and qotsa in 2002
I love Josh as a player simply because he does stuff no one else does, does it well, and he is not afraid to swing, which is missing a lot in rock music. His ear is fantastic as well.
FYI: the mode he's working on when he's describing how he takes some notes out of the scale he's in…is basically Lydian Dominant, which is the 4th mode of melodic minor. He's playing the D7#11 - D7 motif, so that's A melodic minor.
In case you were interested. :)
Yup, I was interested, thanks. He's the Ginger Jimi.
LEGENDARY
I remember watching this (over 10 years ago are you kidding me) and finally unlocking the Homme code for those weird lil' notes... And then promising myself I'll never use them myself as such and try to find my own thing.

“Break stuff”

I got a contact buzz watching this. This is what hanging out and "picking" is all about.
Yessss my favorite one. Josh has chemically achieved here what we call Total Neutrality
Love that tele 😍
Best video on the internet.
Always ready, always steady
Good one! Love that Iggy song!
if only these two had an air conditioner when they filmed that day
If Only
One bloke really sweaty and glossy eyed, one guy dry and calm
Josh got Sweeney cooked 🤣
Fun fact: theyre even higher in the new guitar moves video.
Man this video makes me wanna get and sweaty with my best mates and jam.
12:20 This is a man that has things to say that are both true and important. Listen to the man.
ITS BACK!!!!
It’s back!!!!!!!!
Very good!
Iconic
Josh seems such a cool nice dude. Speedy rerecovery, man.
I can finish their sentences ❤
Bring guitar moves back.
