The 6 levels of “Stealin Ya Girl”

Sometimes you think you have found the perfect KZread Chanel for Guitar lessons and technique and then you stumble upon The-Art-of-Guitar and are blown away. His demeanor and voice make what he is showing and teaching you seem possible for me as I am still a beginner. Have watched 5 today. Thank you for putting up such great content.

One of my favorite warm ups is Hammett’s soloy part in for whom the bell tolls. It’s great to down pick or alternate, with or without palm muting.

the 6 levels of shirts you wear: level 1: Fireball Whiskey level 2: Led Zeppelin level 3: San Junipero 1987 level 4: Red Hot Chili Peppers level 5: that white and black shirt with the black hand on it level 6: this shirt, that doesn't have an in-between button, but probably should, because yeah it says "i just hit on your girl at the club"

Rhcp and shirts are like an oxymoron

Never really thought of using actual musical riffs as warm ups. I normally just go through scales and a few chord progressions. Thanks for the vid.

Guns 'n' Roses greatest hit and signature riff was originally Slash's string skipping exercise... Cool shirt anyway though

Can you put the TAB bar little higher when you edit the video next time? The YT red bar covers the low E when I stop the video. That might be helpful for more viewers. Thanks Btw thanks for awesome tips :D Ive learn a lot from to you.

I was just about to say the same thing. I had to go to ultimateguitar.com to get it. YT banner/logo? blocked the tab when I paused :)lol. Good concept though, instead of just playing boring finger exercises.

Some other warmup riffs I can think of are Snow (Hey Oh) from Red Het Chili Peppers and the solo from Megadeth's Sweating Bullets

If i can master these riffs he can have them

Papa Roach - Last Resort has a riff that is a decent warm up as well. The Trooper - Iron Maiden intro riff is fantastic for a quick, simple legato warm up Master Of Puppets - Metallica, the single notes riff is a decent warm up as well Rainmaker - Iron Maiden intro riff is also a good warm up

The bridge riff to Back in Black by AC/DC is also an amazing warmup riff using all 4 fingers

Holy Wars is a great warmup riff. Edit: Holy shit, didn’t expect to see Ashes In Your Mouth! Underrated song! Subbed.

Wow this is so convenient, today i have to play outside (its winter here) and i really have a hard time when trying to warmup, great videos as always!!

Excellent video. It's been long time i was searching this kind of exercice for stretching my fingers and getting more agility. Thanx a lot. Keep on going like that

Thanks! And you were cracking me up in the beginning. 😁

Shirt aside, this video is ingenious... I've seen similar ideas on YT before but this is far and away the best I've watched. Ten highly useful finger exercises in the can, along with ten great new riffs to jam on. So twenty new items for your guitar toolbox in just over ten mins. Wonderful stuff indeed.

This guy's lessons just make sense, best I've found on KZread 👍

You have the best warm-ups on all of KZread.

i just started learning and wanted to say that your videos are helping me sooo much!! i’m now aware of many things i probably wouldn’t be if it weren’t these videos. thank you!!

Mike, this is great. There are a number of things to take from this. Interesting exercise and ideas to take these riffs and repurpose them. Thank you so much for your great work. How rewarding it must be to know you are helping people be better musicians and get more joy out of their playing. So grateful...

I love your videos so much. They really help me better develop my guitar skills and when I watch them it just makes me wanna pick up my guitar and play. Thank you!

Powermad was such a great and underrated band and "Nice Dreams" is one of my favorite metal songs of all-time. Saw them open for Overkill at the 9:30 club in D.C. back in the day.

Those are fun exercises/ Thanks for posting!

Hey'as ... Just wanted to drop you a kudos, out of all the music instructors you are one of my faves, very clear and straight forward. Keep up the AWESOME work Bro !!!

What's hilarious is that the ac/dc riff was actually a warm up exercise Angus used to do until his band heard it. Pretty cool.

Best guitar lessons on KZread by far!

This has broken me out of my stale warm up routine! Thank you!

I've been using the bluesy scale from "Jump in the Fire" as a wamup for a while now but haven't seen anyone on YT apply yet! it looks really challenging especially (as you mentioned) using alternate picking and palm muting together which is a really coordinated and difficult action. Your videos are amazing, fun and educating as always Mike! keep it up

Crazy Train riff (the way you play it) has been my warm-up exercise ever since I learned it on my acoustic. I did not have an electric but I still wanted to learn rock and metal. Now that I play an electric, it still remains as one of my most effective warm-up exercises because not only does it involves almost all fingers working but muting to make it sound cleaner. I start slow and then I keeps speeding it up. Great and effective content as always. Cheers!

Life in the fast lane started as a warm up riff👌🏽

The chromatic run in the sweating bullets solo really warms me up

Thank you. I really needed warm-up exercises that taught me more than just the exercise.

pantera floods the ending riff is a great strech and pinky warmup

What a great warmup idea! Thnx! Sweet SG btw!

there's also some RHCP songs that i like to use as a warm up: - Can't stop - Whatchu Thinkin (the main bass riff, the guitar plays it on the middle of the song too) - Soul to squeeze - Under the bridge - Dark necessities (the solo) - Snow (But I can't play at full speed yet)

Nice exercises, thank you very much!

Great vid, I like the little ascending run in "Nothing Else Matters" as a warmup, also.

First riff is way cool! I will be working on these not only for the physical exercise but to develop my rhythm (or lack thereof).

Green grass and high tides is a fun one to start out with. Great video as always. Thank you!

Thank ye for the upload on my Birthday! Great content as always

I love that Jump in the Fire is on here because I've been using it as a warm-up for a while now!

Just discovered your channel, your videos are absolutely brilliant!!! Loads of usable stuff to learn!!!! Keep up the great work!!!!! Cheers 🤘🤘🤘

Thanks so much for sharing these great warmups!

Good tips, exercises and productive scales are the only thing that really motivate. Great lesson brother..thank you😁🤘

This is so well thought out…seriously thank you! Great exercises

REALLY REALLY HELPFUL! Thank you!

This is very helpful. Thanks!

Awesome excercise, really makes the blood flow in my fingers. Cool songs choices as well

thank you for your videos man help me out a lot !!

Great lesson I use the crazy on you riff from Heart as a warm up for anyone who isn’t into all the Heavy metal lol Love the Pretty woman and crazy train ones too ! Thanks and Rock on ....🎸💃

Sir ! Thank you so much ! Greetings from Philippines !

Great video! My warm ups will be much more interesting now. Thanks

Love this channel. Help my fingers learn new moves!

I've never realized Floods was just like message in a bottle.

Having a blast with some of these. Thanks man...

I'm not even done watching and can tell you I'm going home and trying this out, thanks man

Your SG is awesome! Great video by the way;)

Really enjoy your videos as a beginner you really make it easy to follow. Thank you

Why you have only 0.25m subs? This quality content deserves more

Thank you very much! Great video

youre easily my favorite youtube guitarist to take lessons from

I think you came upon a great way to warm up while using riffs that most guitar players would know. Hey people learn to give credit when it's due. Keep on Rockin'

Mike love your videos. I really am going to try hard to learn guitar this year. I've been on again and off again for about 7 years due to health problems. I really hope I can learn. I've always loved guitar and you really inspire me to continue.

2nd half of “Jacobs Ladder” by rush is another great repeating riff that’s complex and changes its position on neck a few times too

Great vid. I also like to use two riffs from The Devil's Orchard by Opeth. The first is the part right before the vocals kick in and the other is the diminished triplet riff underneath the held vocal notes in the main verses.

One of my favourites to warm up with is snow hey oh

message in a bottle has the same fretting pattern (almost) as pantera's floods outro which is also a great practicing riff

I remember Powermad and that song Nice Dreams was the single off the Absolute Power album. I was impressed when I saw them live at a Lollapalooza festival in the early 90s

Such a great tutorial man thank you....the only thing about exercises like this is that there’s SO many that there’re basically endless...which is see is good and bad if you’re like me and feel like you need to do all of them...

That sg is really nice, cool video!!

Thanks this really helped me. Its fun to play and I'm getting better fast.

Interesting. I've always played message in a bottle with an open "A" when hit that portion. Less hand movement. But a little difficult to hit that portion clean. Love your casual, fun, yet thorough way of teaching.

I also contend that when Andy plays the riff he slides the Eb down to C# while hitting the open A string when starting that portion of the riff.

All you are missing is a soul patch and some indoor sunglasses. Jokes aside, I love your videos dude and you have been such a great help for me in my journey. Keep doing what you are doing.

This video is great!!...you just made scales fun!

This is very helpful, thank you!

You’re awesome I love all these songs

this is such a great video to get a kid into technicial practice! thx man

My hints: Jump in the fire, The Skull beneath the skin (intro), Master of puppets... and so more Megadeth and Metallica songs you can use as exercices

Try out the intro from Walk with Me in Hell by Lamb of God, it is kinda tricky to get down though.

Dude! Never expected to see powermad here in this video, I love that album and that song, of course

I think, that a really good warmup is intro riff from "Constant Motion" by Dream Theater. It can be played with all 4 fingers, it can be played with downstrokes only or alternate picking, and it can be played in a loop. :)

I'm used to play Sweet Child O' Mine intro riff, Thunderstruck, The Trooper intro and main riff, Burn intro and Over the Hills and Far Away main riff (the theme riff) as a warm up "exercises" and it works really well for me. They are good for that at least in my opinion + they are parts of my fave songs, which really counts 😉 Thanks for another tips!

Thank you Mike !

HA! Saved this to favorites just because of the Power Mad reference. Loved that band!!

Look at Mr. Stealyogurl over here.

I love your lessons

This is a great video 👌🏻

I just subscribed… You teach well you play well… Thanks for the sweet nothings by the way LOL… and way cool SG!!🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

Dude a beautiful sg well done

Smoke on the water is a great warm up too

Love the Powermad reference! It reminded me of Wild At Heart. Nice Dreams is a dope piece if musicianship.

thank you for this video 😊
