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.

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 !!!

@MatsDagerlind5 жыл бұрын
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

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!

The term I learned was "Pinch harmonic" which makes a lot more sense since you are pinching the string between pick and finger.

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.
