This is the equivalent of a math teacher saying "Okay class! 2 + 2 = 4" "Okay using that, now calculate the mass of the sun"

I love Zakk's teaching style. "Here uh...these are the scale patterns we're gonna use. See you just fuckin....uh play a note here and...you know what fuck it. Just watch me shred for the next 8 minutes."

"Well, uuuh, we're just using the A minor pentatonic. You know, like.. *plays super fast for 5 minutes* ... "Yeah, that's it, like.... *plays super fast for 5 minutes*, "Yeah so.. *plays super fast for 5 minutes*.. That's it!

One of the great things about Zakk is... he can teach you some guitar, then help you put your transmission back together all in one afternoon.

When I saw the beginning of this I had to check I wasn't running the video at 2x speed

Several lifetimes. That’s how many it would take me to achieve this level of mastery.

Holy fuck. I didn't learn a god damn thing but I don't think I really give a shit either.

Zakk on acoustic is just crazy. BLS acoustic songs like T.AZ. and Speedball are probably my favorites of all time.

Every Zakk Wylde lesson or how to video is like this. Useless to anyone wanting to advance. Amazing for entertainment value.

This my favorite banjo 🪕 lesson. Thanks buddy!!🙏

Just like a auctioneer has fill ins between words, but guitar fill ins are a direction of feeling and movement of attitude and life.God bless you Zack. Flamenco guitarists are filling their straw built depends. Rock on boss man

You Rock Zakk..Love you bro..can't wait to see you at tht House of Blues in Cleveland...Ohio!!!

2:21 he played so fast the camera blurred. Zakk is the 🐐

For those who didn't saw / heard the lesson: - If you aren't familiar with classical guitar technique, it's time to learn the basics - If you don't understand scales or their extended use, learn those until you can dream all the notes - If you don't like or can't play the blues, try your best to either play it and or like it. And if you're redheaded, you might find out that you do have a soul or maybe you don't, not my place to tell :-D - If you like to execute this one day with a banjo, you don't have to buy one just yet - If you like speed, use a metronome, start slow and increase the tempo when you can play the click away - If you like this certain acoustic style of shred: combine all the concepts and brew you're own thing based on the guidelines given in this video. * Don't forget to really, really, really love pentatonic scales. Also in my opinion,it has more character with reduced speed. Anyways, thanks very much! :D

Well done to anyone who managed to learn anything useful from this video. Great player but man he can't stop himself.

Zakk Acoustic Shred, is Gooood

Thank you so much for this video. Zakk need to do an album just with that, just a guitar and chicken picking.

seriously, he gives yngwie a run for his money for title of worst guitar instructor ever

you the man ! this shows me you put in the time

“String skippin’” cracks me up every time

Great Lesson Zakk.

The monster Zakk Wylde! #Respect

Freaking AWESOME!

PURE TALENT!

Love this. So awesome to take the time to teach; FOR FREE. I'm sure he's getting paid from Guitar World, but still man. How cool is he.

Amazing teacher! I learned chicken picking in 7:17 min. YOU can save time though by skipping to 4:39, watch the lick and hear the words "basically I was using every note we can". Sums up this 'lesson' nicely!

Well that really cleared things up for me

Very good, my brother.🌹🌹🙏👑

It's a "lesson" because Black Zack just schooled y'all. Sarcasm.

Oh good, a breakdown on that ONE lick!

One way to get the chromatic sound or rather the bluesy picking scale is to mix the minor and major scales. Or anytime you have a whole step in your pentatonic shape put a passing tone So basically you have to know where the pentatonic shapes are in C major and where they are in C minor. Then mix them together to your taste. Some things he did were using a pedal tone- so keeping on note on the high e string then walking down a chromatic line on the G string.

so... when does the lesson start?

"And here we go one more time", thanks got it!

the lesson starts at 5:55 and finish 6:14

The best papa rock in the world

That axe is sick! I need one, hope Epiphone makes it available... haven't seen it anywhere.

The heart is willing, but the body is unable.

If you really dig this and want to play exactly the same notes, you can always use Transcribe software to slow it down

"Once again" - Ok. Can someone translate all those things? hahaha "Just see his hands" RIGHT!

Hell yeah, Father Zakk!! Awesome licks ideas... bad ass!!! lml #BLfamily

Sweet looking guitar!

Like Zack A lot, And the fact He's on the Web a lot too

A pleasure man..

Zack is typical show off teacher lol Coolest show off teacher

Yeeehaw Zakk 🤘

“Things like that” - Zak

Zakk plays great that acustic

Got it. Thanks z!

I was watching some Alex Scolnick videos now watching zac I feel like I have a terrible learning disability. 😂

I think I finally learnt something. Leave it to the professionals.

The tabs are on guitar worlds website if anyone wants them! SDMF!!! Bleed black forever!

22-23 seconds. Incomprehensible

Finally says something about the 3 picks he's got going at once. GD Zack

Zakk the big beard!!!!

Thanks Zakk...Who knows what model his Epiphone is?

that nail picking

i get everyone here, I'm in the same boat but we can't forget that most of that stuff he learned just watching people play these licks trying to copy them for hours on end. so guys pull yourself together and put in the effort. we got youtube we can even slow down the video but without rewinding a thousand times you won't learn it...

That epiphone is fucking bad ass

Where can I get this amazing guitar or at least the soundhole pickup?

I think he stated once "Albert Lee Star Licks , it's all on there"

Still waiting for the lesson to start

is magnetic pickup on an acoustic any good?

Yeah, this is much better than his electrical stuff.

Anyone got a clue as to what epiphone model he’s playing?

Hey Zakk please I need of THE Tab for a practic but you go very fast thankyou

Is the back issue available for this?

Watch me shred while you still suck. Love Zakk, learned nothing from this though, except he's a wizard.

Where can I buy that kickass guitar?

The Miyagi of guitar

im done in life you great i try try and try i got some things can break the person neck that says it easy for me

Wow! Fun to watch...hard to learn.

God dawm!

where did the strings go!!!

Can u do a slow lesson in your righthand technique

Daaaaaamm Zakk Wylde greetins man!! Awesome as fok u rok buddy\m/

What a thumbnail

That's the weirdest looking Epiphone headstock I've ever seen. Looks so much better than the regular one.

Fach yeah 🕶

So pick a key then use pentatonic scales then ignore scale and play chromatic with emphasis on the key root note. Use finger picking with a pick. Mutes strings

How on earth was that a lesson?

So yeah we're just gonna Sweep picks for almost 2 minutes And then we're just gonna Continues to solo for another long time Also you can Continues picking so quickly the camera blurs You also have Chicken picks super fast for another minute Talks for less than 15 seconds about riffs You can do it like Solos really fast again So yeah hope that helped thanks for having me Best guitar lesson 💯

singularity (black hole) included.

no sure exactly what the lick was, did he go over it really lol, I know he kind gave like 3-4 ideas out but it was basically him noodling

The cold hard truth is you shouldn't be watching a video on chicken picking if you don't know which type of scale you're planning to flow it with. He started out with the foundation of an A Major Pentatonic, and simply showed you can create personal connectors to those foundations to create scales of known types, blues/jazz etc..learn a bunch, they're fun!

0:54 shades of Cliff Burton?

Oh, I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay,.

help !!! tabs please

Anyone else notice his demon thumb nail, on his picking hand

How am i suppose to play that..Zakk

I think Zakk has earned the right to show off when he's supposed to be teaching a lesson. He's basically saying, "Just do whatever the hell I do."

"I'll give you a breakdown on one lick now.." There is only one lick?

The black label Viagra is kicking in SHIIIIIIIIIIT.

Once again watch closely...

You know it’s these easy licks, but it’s the way you use them… look how good I do it

Scalloped fretboard 😀

All I could do was stare at that thumb nail.

what epiphone model is that?

Just gimme the tabs zach.

Hybrid technique is almost fundamental these days for all guitar players.

This is exactly how it goes when someone I know can play guitar tries to teach me. Mention some scales and buzzwords and then shreds beyond my mental capacity. Lmao!! 🤣
