nah, it's always a new guitar that makes you better

If you can do the "chicky chicky" part in "Smells like teen spirit " correctly, you're great.

In my opinion, that great guitar player, is he who can express what words can’t...

I personally say it comes down to 3 elements: 1. Intimate knowledge of the instrument 2. Innate sense of music and sound 3. Ability to serve the song

WTF why lil wayne is not im the thumbnail?? He's like black hendrix.

1 word for making a guitar players great: pratice

Here’s what I think makes a great guitar player. Let’s give an example of Dimebag Darrell. What made him great is that he gave off what could be called “his own sound”. He sounded like no other guitarist and showed people that they can have any sound.

Upgrading from a squire to a prs wish me luck.

This has got to be one of the best breakdowns of the ingredients to great playing I have ever seen. You said it simply, but didn't oversimplify it. That's a testament to your growing teaching skill too =)

This is brilliant. Thank you. One of the most motivating videos to me I have watched in a while. No over the top speech or anything. Just straight facts and the reminder that only you can control how great you can be on the guitar.

I love your videos every time in the morning that I wake up I just watch your videos over and over again

I agree that practicing with drums, or a metronome, is a great rhythm exercise. I wouldn't say that every great guitarist practices with a metronome, though, because I heard Josh Smith say that he never used a metronome. I don't think a metronome is essential to fix poor timing, however fixing poor timing is essential, for good playing. Playing along with records is a good way to get a good feel for rhythm, possibly even better than a metronome, because nobody likes the sterile sound of perfectly quantized playing.

What makes a guitar player great? A Metal Zone, obviously.

I really really liked this video, you really capture the essence of what a good guitar player means...it’s not high speed all the time nor effects, is what you make feel the peel just with a couple notes, thumbs up 👍🏻 man!

I think Legacy and Influence is what makes a guitarist great. Innovation, or simply being a master in a style(s), is what makes a legend, on top of all of such in my humble opinion. Also, you sure you're not Rick Beato :D. Awesome work man!

The ending advice transcends becoming a great guitarist it can be applied to many endeavors in life. I just bought a guitar after many years of thinking I just couldn't do it. Not only do I know now I can, I am glad I found your channel to further reinforce that sentiment! Thank you, you're the man!

Bro I just can't express how much I appreciate your vids and your perspective

I’m a student at berklee and you’re videos helped me get in. you’re videos are also what are gonna help me try and shake the rock scene.

you’re such a great mentor im obsessed with your videos!

One of your greatest video yet buddy! I apply a lot of your information of music to my band every week. Thank you and keep up the great work!

This is one of the best and most complete videos to the related topic put there

Excellent video - I feel like I’ve been looking for this video for a long time. Thank you!!!!

Yeaaaaah, another video of Tyler

Making the players around you feel good and comfortable.

You know when I first subscribed to you, I don’t remember you being that good. I mean you was always freaking good, but you must’ve unlocked beast mode or something because you’re freaking tearing it up dude. I need to start woodshedding man. You’re inspiring bro.

Cool video. I love the way you dissect subjects. You're a great teacher man.

I wanna see a PRS Tyler signature, you tottally deserve one.

Great vid, great words. Thanx for sharing! And by the way, nice production too. Interesting to see the progress over the years 🤟🏻🤩 Have a great day!

Growth mindset +10! Very insightful Tyler, nice work!

Wow man you’re great. Can’t wait for the guitar camp 🤘

This really made me look at my guitar playing in a different light man. Thanks! Very humbling introspect.

I came across your videos a few weeks ago and you have inspired me to finally learn guitar. I am 51yo and have bought and started learning guitar a few times over my life but something always seemed to screw it up be it work or family life. But I have really got the bug this time and have all the time in the world so I bought a cheap Donner guitar and amp pack off Ebay for now as from what I understand they are a very well made budget guitar. I signed up to your course last night and as soon as my guitar arrives I am getting stuck in. I will save for an Ibanez RGR221PA AQB Gio as I love that guitar and that should see me through for a while. So thanks for giving me the kick in the ass I needed to get stuck back into it Tyler and you keep shreddin man.

This is like the best motivational video I've watched this year!

Damn that solo of comfortably numb always gives me goosebumps....

Great video, Tyler. Love it.

great video, Tyler!

That chord you let ring out @3.23 was great

This is honestly one of if not THE best guitar-teaching video I've ever seen... Tyler know how to explains the guitar itself better than anyone on KZfaq. SUPER great job Also sorry if my English isn't good I'm French lol

This was so freaking inspiring! Just thank you man, I will watch this alot!

There's some amazing stuff in this video. I'm going to watch again and wallow in self improvement.

Tyler! Congrats - one of your BEST videos!!! So good and very well explained. Have fun at your summer camp, I bet you‘ll have a blast with that company - ENJOY! 👍🏼

Man, you're a LEGEND!!!!

Insightful and great value. Got me self evaluating…… thanks - truly appreciated Rob

You're absolutely right man.

This video was extremely well made and was brilliant. Thank you

by far your best video

Dude the drummer at the end is something else! Look at the speed right before he pimp slaps one of the symbols, The video was blurring he was playing so fast, damn that was good !

The input jack on my guitar blew out this week so I've been playing unplugged all week. I couldn't agree more with the "unplugged" point, its really helped with "getting it right"

this was really encouraging and motivational

This video is very inspiring and I love all your more serious videos and I hope to be a great guitar player.

ALL your words ring true. I'm a couch guitar player but a gigging sax musician. I cannot tell you how true these words you spoke are. We listen to ourselves honestly. We hear constructive criticism honestly. We are blessed.

The way you inspire❤

If all else fails you can head down to the cross roads.

Ive played guitar for 4 years now and never have i ever experienced wrist pain till today, now seeing this on a video makes me feel easy knowing this is not something just wrong with me

Great video lesson Tyler, as much a lesson on mental strength and awareness as on musical technique, terrific, thank you. 👍❤️

Great video, thank you! Timing of notes and breaks is also important, even with little flaws, like e.g. timing the pointe of a joke or effect words in speeches.

Being born at the right place, at the right time, and being prepared when the opportunity comes.

Finger tone can be improved immensely on an acoustic. I’ve played acoustic for years and it has improved my tone when crossing into the electric guitar world

Me: clicks the link for the virtual guitar camp *sees price * *Clicks off *

Creativity and how one is able to connecte with the audience.

Love that he has a Cinders Overdrive! One of the best value for money pedals out there!

Is it just me or does James Hatfield check every one of those boxes? Great stuff as always, Tyler

Very good content. Well put together . thank you for your hard work. you deserve the recognition. God bless rock on. subscribed.

Brand new video means that this is gonna be a pretty good day.👍

I fucking love your channel man

Very great lesson! Thanks Tyler! 🙂

Excellent video.

Check out a guitar player called Jimi Hendrix. His timing was not metronomic. He did, however have a groove. Being very consistent in timing makes it easy for studios to piece together a final product. Staying in a groove, even if the tempo varies makes for a musically exciting performance. That is what a conductor in a symphony does, it keeps everyone on the same timing even as it varies. Being able to stay in time with a tempi is a necessary skill. Performance, particularly live performance, gets its energy from serving the music even if it means speeding up and slowing down. Hendrix is just one, a great one mind you, of many examples.

Control over dynamics should also be a part of the essential skills imo.

you OPENED my eyes

If you ask me what makes a great player, I'd say taste. Listen to what you're saying with what you play, and yes, rhythm and syncopation are a very big part of that, as well as phrasing. Love these vids, keep em coming!

great video, again !!! thanks

Im a bass player and I took some inspiration from these guitar tips and now Im gonna actually go and practice bye

0:11 I do man, I hope to be at your level some day.

Great video!

In my opinion is the edge “the” great guitarist, everyone who listened to more then one U2 song knows. Everything from this video fits spot on to him.

Ha! I have that same shirt. Austin Guitar House. Anyhow, great video as always.

Taking the time to spend your life learning the craft makes you great. You don’t have to be a virtuoso. Just be the best you can be. You improve every day.

Well done.

This video helped me a lot. Thx !

Prince 💜

Video was on point

Love is win. Thanks for tips

The most important thing in playing guitar or doing anything in life is to have fun because everyone’s a critic especially other guitarist. People can tell you a million ways that you did something wrong and they can recommend you a million different things that they think you should do that would make you sound better to them but what a lot of guitarist don’t realize is it’s not about them it’s about you and how playing the instrument makes you feel. You’re the one who bought the instrument so play it how you want to and do whatever you gotta do to make yourself happy while playing it. If that means that you want to shred then shred, if that means you want to go slow and melodic then go slow and melodic, it’s different strokes for different folks and people need to realize that and stop trying to force their taste on someone else and let them find their own style.

Loved your suggestion. And using the best drummer of the world as a metronome is boss level.

Rhythm has been something that was foreign to me for a long time, i didn't understand how to apply it on my guitar, i just knew i had to hit the right note at the right fret and that's that.

Nice PRS, had one of those.

Have a good day everyone. I love all of you. I'm going to guitar center today.

This might be one of my favorite videos you've made... and partly for personal reasons. Objectively (I use this term loosely) it's a solid video. Subjectively I am going through a period of re-discovering my love for the guitar. It has been incredibly satisfying as I remind myself, "Hey, I can fuckin rock." :D I spent several years frustrated with my experiences in the music industry and instead was just did DJing EDM on the side while I worked on a software career. (Not entirely regrettable though because I have a good salary job now.) I'm considering doing the camp! I would take time off work for it and everything. I'm working on videos now myself. So far they're just on IG @naw_shen_nep but I'll be making a new channel on youtube soon. Thanks for your content and inspiration!

Man i love you

More starting out guitarists need to hear this. I lost count how I have gotten those people who cram in every note they can into a riff but lost timing, or melody, tell me I suck because I just use music theory to be my road map to where and what to play. As for technique, I do strongly say to anyone I have ever taught spend a practice session making noise on your guitar. You might discover a sound or thing you did that you might want to use in your song, like Nirvana's song "Milk it" or Ozzy Osbourne's song "Crazy Train" both songs have more going on to it than you realize if you really listen.

Very informative show

Oh shit you got Dennis chambers? First time I heard and saw him was on the '92 Barcelona tape with he brecker Bros during a jazz band period in high school. That was one of those life changing moments

Don felder of the eagles is criminally underrated
