Dave's so badass he autographs his own guitar
-
Learning how to effectively palm mute when I was 11 was a game changing event for me.
-
Ive watched this like 6 times and still dont know what the hell he's talkin about.
-
That sound he's talking about is actually how a lot of guitarist get that scratchy/crunchy sound into their music. It works out well for some. All depends on what sound ur lookin for.
-
For those that don't understand....it's dave mustaine the most unprecedented guitar player in existence
-
Such a great Spinal Tap moment
-
I love it when Dave plays the evil part 😃
-
"Just simple lines, intertwining, with a beautiful melody. I love the key of D minor, it's the saddest of all keys, just makes you want to weep.I'm heavily influenced by Mozart and Bach". "It's beautiful, what do you call this particular piece?" "What, this? I call it "Lick My Love Pump".🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 (Heavily paraphrased from "This Is Spinal Tap")😁
-
Notice how his hand is also parallel with the strings, i started using this form on my own recently, and switching between down strokes and gallops is much more manageable.
-
Now THIS is a useful and incredible guitar lesson. Imagine what you could learn from an hour of this
-
I love how it starts with the classic no filter Dave,lol. "Well, I can't really show em if you want me to keep playing it stupid.." 🤣🤣🤣
-
Dave playing "The eye of the tiger" 😎

Two game changers for me: - finding out I always loved and used the same Dunlop pick as Dimebag Darrell - then finally learning to tilt my pick like Fave is explaining here. If you use too thick of a pick then you can’t play other licks or strum well, but using the adequate thinner picks come with delayed notes and added noise (like Dave is trying to explain). So you use the thinner picks, gouge some exes in them, and then tilt them, and voila.

Spinal tap moment

The reason he picks like this is because unlike James he doesn't straight down pick when chugging. He keeps the pick fairly straight at nearly a 90 degree angle to the strings. that way his upstrokes grab as much string as the downstrokes. Usually when alternate picking on chugs the upstroke can sound weaker. If you hold your pick and get into it the same up as down it's less noticable.
-
I used to use the pick like that, but every single video of picking lessons that I ever saw said that picking with the pick perpendicular to the string was wrong. They say that you must have some angle in the pick. It's a relief to hear Dave saying that
-
I remember when i finally learned how to palm mute, I played nothing but breakdowns for about 8 months lol
-
Imagine being able to look at your own hands and think "They can play the guitar solo in Holy Wars... The Punishment Due!!!!"
-
The fact that Dave can sing while he's playing his insane rhythms is mind boggling.
-
It was bad form, and self taught, but I've held a pick this way since I was 12.
