Thank you so much!!! That would be REALLY cool if some of these players got together and shared their music and secrets. Heck, I'd love to hear some of them tell stories and talk about their career and travels. Share some moments from their glory days, tour stories and "on the road" randomness, working in the studio on famous albums, sharing licks/riffs, and more. That would VERY cool! : ) Thanks for watching and take care!

Hey gang - just a head's up but these licks are loosely based on what Warren played during this solo, so it's not 100% exact. And there was a typo I noticed with Lick #2. I incorrectly said "two unisons" and while the video was rendering, I created the transcription/tab that goes with this lesson. It wasn't until I watched the entire video today that I noticed this typo - and hey, typos happen - so it should be a minor 2nd (b9) between the high E & B string, mixed with a unison when it dips down to the G string. Also, Lick #3 is shown/written as a basic version of what he was playing during this solo, so while I made a basic variation of what he was doing, it was honestly a little hard to understand what he was playing during that section (accurately), as you could tell he was pumped from the roar of the crowd and that entire section is a little frantic and random. Just a head's up and thanks for watching!

Another Warren prodigy here, even though he doesn't know it. As a very young boy, I always loved the guitar and was a little obsessed with hearing it played. It wasn't until I heard Ratt back in 1985 that I almost immediately went and took my lawn cutting money combined with some horse trading and got my first electric guitar and small amp from a pawn shop....I played and practiced every day for about 6 years before I even looked up it seemed...Now 35 years later, I have many great memories of my bands and two walls of guitars...Still play almost every day. Warren Demartini.

Nice lesson Man, Just wanted to give a quick 2 cents.. 1) The footage of the solo is from the "Invasion Of Your Privacy" Tour, I say this because he's using the "Frenchie" Charvel which he didn't use much on the "Dancin'" tour of '86-'87. Also Bobby's kick drum heads have the confetti graphics of his "Invasion" kit. 2) The wide interval lick is one he nabbed off of Robbin Crosby, the other guitarist in Ratt. A lot of Robbin's solos had a variation on that interval lick between the 15th to 19th frets going back to the Mickey Ratt days, When Jake E. was with them. While I don't dislike Warren, He did tend to overshadow Robbin greatly as Crosby was much more a feel and melodic lead guitarist, whereas Warren was super fast and dexterous. Fact is though, Robbin was a much more accomplished songwriter & great guitarist himself who actually played a lot of solos erroneously credited to Warren sometimes. Sadly much like Steve Clark, He was vastly overshadowed, underrated, And largely pushed aside in the Flash and Speed wars.

@gregorydickman9404 жыл бұрын
Agreed. Warren took a few of Robbin's licks and just flashed them up. That said. Warren's sense of swing is up there with Scott Gorham and Eddie Van Halen. Also, I think Robbin was hit and miss. He had some cool licks, but sometimes it sounded like he was daisy chaining them together. Sad, because had he been more competitive and left the substances alone, he could have given many a run for their money.

😂 Earlier today, I was thinking about your lessons & wondering if you’ve done anything on Bettencourt & you mentioned him in this video. I have a feeling you’ve probably covered or at least mentioned many of the guitarists I can think of. But, I have a feeling we are about the same age, & we are both guitarists so that might explain it. 😂 Man, I used to do wide stretches not just in solos but in chords. I still do, to some extent. Not as much as I did in the ‘90s, but I still do wide stretches, especially in chords. But, honestly, I didn’t do it to impress people. I did it because when writing songs there were certain notes that I wanted to en corporate, but in order to do it I had to stretch. I literally STRETCHED my fingers, every day, in various positions before & after practicing. I also used a contraption intended for martial arts finger strength called an “Eagle Catcher.” I had to spread my fingers to fit in the loops & then contract them inward toward my palm. That helped out, a lot. In retrospect, I spent every non-working, non-sleeping moment with a guitar in my hands or some type of contraption that I used to help strengthen my hands/fingers. Nowadays, I am a husband & father. I don’t get enough alone time with my “Mistresses” (my instruments). 😂

Jake called Warren and basically set him up to be in Ratt after he left the band. Warren quit high school to be in Ratt. The correlation between the 3 friends is crazy.

I’m noticing most of my favorite licks either have a lot of chromatic “half steppin” stuff going on and/or runs with back-to-back same notes on different strings. Pretty impressive how you pull these licks by ear out of crappy quality live footage. The real trick is making these licks work in a song. I mean during a live guitar solo you can play most anything and there’s nothing for it to clash with.
