🔥Steve Stevens breaking down one of the all-time favorite riffs: "Whole Lotta Love" by Led Zeppelin. The magic is in the details-using the open low E string and pulling that note just slightly sharp gives it that iconic edge. Let's dive into the riff that changed rock history! 🤘🎶 #SteveStevens #BillyIdol #WholeLottaLove #LedZeppelin #GuitarRiffs #RockLegends #GuitarTechnique #ClassicRock #MusicMastery #IconicRiffs www.jonsguitar...

@@DavidCopafeelyeah, i think the term underrated is getting confused with having a certain level of fame and notoriety. He has always been considered to be a world class player by most guitar players, multiple guitar magazines, and even Rolling stone magazine.

Yeah, you have to be careful when using the term underrated. Noone who is a longtime rock fan would call Mr Stevens underrated. Underrated guitarists would be Neil Schon of Journey, and C.C. Deville of Poison. You're like, wait, what? My point exactly...

50 years ago, Steven Schneider was just another kid in our Far Rockaway neighborhood. While we were spending all our time outside playing ball, he was spending all his time inside practicing on his electric guitar. We could hear him playing all day long and just thought he was one more kid dreaming of becoming another Jimmy Page. We never imagined that he would grow up to be Steve Stevens. His dedication and hard work paid off.

The bridge on Eyes Without a Face is one of the best guitar riffs ever, IMO. As a drummer I’m not hip to the difficulty of technicality of the riff, but the energy, rhythm and feel generated by it always kills me.

It took a minute to copy that riff correctly. In January 1970 I had to ride my bike way down the hill to a record store on the corner of Hollywood Blvd and Highland to buy the album with my Christmas money, it was $3. I about wore out the stylus on my dad’s turntable, but eventually figured it out. I was 13 years old.

One crazy part of learning to play guitar, and learning to play all your favorite songs is that in the process you discover that there’s a big difference between what thought you heard, and how you thought a song goes, versus how the song actually goes. Once you’ve gone though the songs sheet music or tablature, you find all the ways you were mistaken, and heard it wrong. Then it creates a moment where you listen to the song again, and for the very first time you hear all the little details you missed before. You’re hearing the song as it truly is. You then gain a whole new understanding of the song, and the song takes on a whole new life in your mind.

Steve Stevens under rated guitarist. This guy can play ANYTHING! And play them all proficiently! From Zeppelin, to country, to Classical, and he even excels at Flamenco!! He even jokes about how he loves 'chicken pickin' and loves his Telecaster, but how he could never bring his Tele on stage, because it clashes to hard with his 'Rocker' image! haha 😂 Way to fo Steve!! 👍👍👍
