2:16 "so for simple things..." ...bruh

i admire broderick for sharing his varieties of insane technique while still resorting to passages that are pleasant to the ears. great humility as well.

He really needs to make a solo album.

Jesus...I've never seen such control, this man is insane...

I'm 20 years old and have been playing guitar since I was 9 years old, I play everything from classical to death metal. And after 11 god damn years I still can't even dream of playing like this -.-

I have never been more impressed with Chris Broderick, his dedication, skills, and passion. My main man is SRV, and my passion is blues. Has been for 37 years. Too bad about the immature comments here.

2:16 "So for simple things" *Runs up entire 2-octave scale with other hand* fuck you, man... fuck you. XD

2:30 His right hand is faster and more accurate than my left hand !! USELESS HANDS !

I've been using a pick clip for over three years now and that thing he said about it making your pick hand more relaxed and close to the fret board is completely true. I'm not an arm picker anymore

You know, I'm really not all that interested in learning guitar, but I can't seem to stop watching these videos. I would gladly take lessons from Chris.

"This first example here is a riff that I wanted to build..." If this is a RIFF, I'm pretty sure I'd spontaneously combust if he played a solo idea...

wow....what he played was just awesome. its beautiful. and the pick thingy seems like and awesome idea, i want one to try it.

Awesome lesson. Appreciate the detailed explanations and in just plain basic words too. Thanks!!

"Hi, I'm Chris Broderick. Throw away your guitar."

getting chris to do a column was the best thing guitar world ever did

Chris can shred on a level that seems to be unattainable by your average, run-of-the-mill guitarist.

OMFG! he uses his right hand just to hit those notes! HE's AWESOME!

'I'll show you that slowly" NOT SLOW ENOUGH

He said d major or t major?? O.o

Excellent!

it feels good to think that this legend was a simple kid like me that was amazed by simple things like tapping and scratching :D chris is my all time idol :)

Totally amazing.

Thanks. looks and sounds sweet.

LOVE HIS GUITAR!!

Chris you Kick ass!!! God Bless you !!

Muito bonito o solo, grande guitarrista !!!!!!

tapping,arpeggios and speed...beast

amazing!

Holy shit this guys out of his mind, best guitarist ever in megadeth's line up, i wish him good luck n hope he stays for a long while!

wtf. his hands are both left hands. lol

Musically it's, well, chaotic. But technique-wise it's absolutely awe-inspiring :O

DAMN this one was realy realy clean!

that pick clip is genius. i want one

i need one of those picks!!!!

He should make more music like Jason or Yngwie. He is awesome in Megadeth but if he would make more neo-classic that would be so perfect.

Just ordered 2 pick clips, finally!

playin those scales with the right hand was awsome, i have got to learn that... just imagine what you could do if you used both hands like that, it would be batio shit on a 1 neck guitar

@butterknucklez yea i realized that just after i posted that. its just something that holds a pick tho, you could just use a thumb pick instead.

I want one of them pick clip things. Are they available in Canada yet?

I want the pick clip! that's great!

i want that pick!

Yeah, he has a link to where you can buy them on his website. They sold out in a day the first run but it looks like now he has way more available.

@popotopo99 is that the thing that flips the pick up out of the way when you dont hold it down with your index finger?

Anyone know where you can get those pick clips? Id like to try them

This nigga can probably play anything. That must be an amazing feeling to be able to play a new song you just heard right after listening to it for the first time. Thats bad ass baby !!

@Nameless164 What Chris is using different, he uses a pick-clip, where you can place any pick of your liking in it; and that is very important. The thumb picks have been around for a while and I think you can find them in any major guitar dealer stores. Those come with a pick already and not replaceable, and may not suite your hand or picking style.

@galatonim Most likely to amplify the AxeFX signal for the cabinet.

Chris Broderick is the man!!!!

is his pick clip available anywhere??

his right hand technique is crazy! And dont get me started on his left!

Jackson best guitars above all, Im trying to get my hands on one right now.

Does anyone know where I can buy that pick clip? CM Distro isn't restocking right handed picks.

i have a jackson rr3 for 3-4 years now with 2 passive EMG's the guitar is almost perfect. you just need some alignment to the neck because it is a bit bigger

Anyone know where to find some of the thumbpicks Chris uses? I wanna try it out.

@tanreu it's strings are struck not plucked so it's considered a percussion instrument...

Pick clips are pretty easy to make, all you do is take a dunlop thumpick, then you have 2 options. 1) use a scissor and some sanding paper to shape the pick part of the thumpick into the size and shape of a regular pick, only problem is the pick gets very thick. option 2) cut off the entire pick part, so there is only the part that goes around your finger, then take your normal pick, like a jazz 3 or something, and use some strong glue to attach it to the thumpick, works fine for me

is there any tabs of the scales thst he plays on starting?

@aurosne The 7th string is seldom used in this lesson. And if you do a lot of right-hand tapping like myself, the pick clip is a genius idea.

"Many fingers tapping changes everything" come on chris keep up Dave does it ;)

Dude...playing entire scales with your right hand...that's pretty badass >>

Does anyone now where you can find the music or tabs for these videos?

@Smishik Eh, if you listen to what he says about it, it really is an innovation. The thumb picks are shaped very differently, and don't work as well for alternate picking, which kind of kills the whole shredding thing. The one thing I'd be worried about with this thing is that you can't really alter the angle of attack... but then again most guitarists consider it good technique to use a consistent angle of attack.

@ShadowsOfCollision yeah! totally! I want such a pick clip too!

@Faultroll omfg lol. Perfect man.. perfect.

"So for simple things..." *crushes my hopes and dreams*

ae Chris !!! Muito bom !

Great

What a very nice seven string Fender!

Great technique ....

I had never thought of trying to mimic my left hand with my right. That's next on the agenda!

fucking phenomenal

Open question to all watchers. Does anybody know the name (kind) or the brand of the pick used by chris in this video? i'd like to get one.

where can you get that type of pick?

anyone know where i can get a pick like his??

I want that pick lip. Im not gonna bust out with 8-fingered tapping, but i can see a shit load of benefits ill gain from using it.

I want that pick clip.

can someone tell me what's the name of the song in the intro music

@NickoTheGuitarist It's a Ibanez RGA Custom

I want one...

Could someone tell me his guitar model? Looks amazing.

what is the thing he have in the pick (right hand) to hold the pick...

I was told a week ago that they were going to be making another batch of them soon...

Is his extra string a low B or a high A? Does anyone know?

your profile image with chuck is so beautiful!(chuck and chris fuck yeah!!!)

@Ironb3rry & @tanreu - sorry, but I have played in orchestra's and bands for 40 years. A piano is a percussion instrument because the sound is produced by a hammer striking a string. As a matter of interest, a Harpsichord is classified as a stringed instrument, because the mechanism under the hood actually plucks the string... I'm not here to start an argument... just recognising an interesting point.

Smart talented man

@VMP007 piano is infact percussion, cause the way you get sound is by hitting the strings.

anyone please tell me what guitar is that? is it an ibanez or esp?

Where do i get that pick!?!

please note - you need to have the genetics that give you long long tree swinging, branch grabbing spider fingers that compared to the normal human hand, are freakishly long.

@Vercingetorix most of the video was about explaining his pick and his right hand technique though.

@semilei its a thumb pick, every guitar store sells them for about $.50 - $1.50

@brbbns1 I don't think it is actually a thumb pick, I think it is something that holds a regular pick that he came up with.

im confused, is this an interview for him to teach or an infommercial for his pick clip?

@rickyjshiznit Yes, well, when I responded there wasn't an acknowledgement posted. I have a very, very slow connection, some videos can take 1/2 hour to load and sometimes longer when I have mutiple vids downloading. Cheers, V.

whwere do you get a sharpy pick?!

It's basically your run-of-the-mill thumbpick, but not quite. It is a little more flexible and adjustable, so it feels like a normal pick when you play with it. Normal thumbpicks tend to be very stiff.

@vbandres chris is using Dunlop Sharpie picks (holder not included*g*) it's really crazy to play everything with your left and right hand when he is not playing guitar he is in the gym he should release his thumb-thing soon (i'm waiting...maybe after the american carnage tour?)

damn he's amazing gilbert petrucci friedman vai all of em'

"so for simple things" does something insane
