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

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 =)

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

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

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.

I am inclined to agree with you. I prefer playing/recording to drum tracks and backing tracks as I can get a better feel for the song and what I can do with it.

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!

Yeaaaaah, another video of Tyler

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

Great video, Tyler. Love it.

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.

You're absolutely right man.

this was really encouraging and motivational

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

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 KZread. SUPER great job Also sorry if my English isn't good I'm French lol

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

great video, Tyler!

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

Man, you're a LEGEND!!!!

Making the players around you feel good and comfortable.

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.

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.

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

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"

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 !

by far your best video

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

The way you inspire❤

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

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!

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

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

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

Very great lesson! Thanks Tyler! 🙂

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

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

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.

A guitar player is great because they have their own original style from other guitarists. Billie Joe Armstrong isn't technically great at guitar, but he developed his own original style that nobody else explored before.

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!

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.

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.

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

Hey Tyler love your videos

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.
