Good guitar player videos

This was is on John Frusciante. I don't remember how I stumbled upon it.
I like his spiel on playing solos and not getting stuck in a 16th note rut.

The amazing Paul Gilbert

Gilbert is a MANIAC!!!

Interesting thing while watching that video. When he's shredding super fast he tucks back his middle finger. I wonder if there's some magic behind that or is it just a comfort thing?

It must be the magic of his pink guitar!

I just bought all his old videos! He has a new one, for Get Out of My Yard, which I'm getting next week.

He tucks his finger under as a reflex action to facilitate the 1-3-4 fingering for 3-note-per-string scaling at the upper frets, where there's less space. I'm currently working on those upper frets, too. I've been using 1-2-4 fingerings in the lower register, which I find very comfortable, but impractical past the 14th fret, so I've been working on getting 1-3-4 to work, but my second finger feels left out of the action

This process has also brought to my attention that my pinky is not currently tuned for acrobatics...

My favorite video is Pettrucci's Rock Discipline, which tightens up your playing so when you get to Gilbert's Terrifying Guitar Trip you're not left in the dust.

Sorry no video clip:

Lick Library has released a comprehensive teaching series of guitar tuition DVDs focusing on Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett's playing: Introducing the two-part "Learn To Play Metallica" double DVD sets, coming in at a weighty combined six hours of in-depth tuition. From the juggernaut "Enter The Sandman" to the ultra-fast and technically demanding "Battery", Lick Library has produced easy-to-learn DVDs which transcribe note for note solos, riffs, verses, chorus and everything in between. Furthermore, top teacher Jamie Humphries takes you through a detailed description of setting up your guitars, amps and effects to achieve a truly authentic Metallica sound.

Lick Library recognizes how many guitarists aspire to learn the epic riffs of Kirk Hammett and recreate his savage rifferey and dazzling array of lead guitar parts. In recognition of how much there is to learn, Lick Library has introduced three further DVDs in the shape of "Kirk Hammett Guitar Techniques", "Kirk Hammett Quick Licks" and "Kirk Hammett: The Solos".

The "Kirk Hammett Guitar Techniques" has two hours of in-depth tuition breaking down over fifty licks covering pentatonic scales, chromatic runs, hammer-on and pull-offs, arpeggios, inversions, diatonic scales, use of tremolo bar, double stops, string skipping. In fact, this will help you learn a huge range of key techniques valuable for not just playing Metallica but for pretty much every other type of song.

"Kirk Hammett Quick Licks" helps you learn killer metal licks and most importantly provides backing tracks to help you practice your newfound techniques. The DVD breaks down Kirk's style of playing into twenty-five licks, including techniques such as tapping, legato, alternate picking and a host of pentatonic ideas. Homing in on his solos, this DVD will help you learn how to improvise and give you an arsenal of ideas to jam over the backing tracks. Ideal for beginners through to advanced players this will show you how to approach rock and metal soloing.

"Kirk Hammett: The Solos" uniquely comes with an accompanying CD including guitar jam tracks for each solo section at slow, medium and full tempo so you can learn each solo at your own pace and steadily build up to full speed. Solos include: "Master Of Puppets", "One", "Nothing Else Matters", "Enter Sandman", "The Day That Never Comes".

Finally, to complete the comprehensive range of Metallica tuition products, Lick Library has available to purchase separately two "Jamtrax" CDs, each with five backtracks covering classic Metallica songs from early "Master Of Puppets" to the very latest "Death Magnetic" album. These CDs are ideal to playing along to the songs which is like having the band in your living room.

The DVDs and CDs are now available to purchase through www.licklibrary.com along with over 20,000 other guitar tuition products.
