Thank you 😊

Reptilia by The Strokes!

Haha thank you! I've already done a full cover here: th-cam.com/video/mxBIOc7tJMA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ZL4vUkpHQyagO_AC 😎

Haha it's hard not to 🙃

What don't you like about it?

Holy shit. A guitar player calling a famous song underrated on purpose? This makes me want to sarcastically die. Not that I actually want to, but I like to joke sometimes

The riff can still be underrated even if the song is famous!

Sadly my friend yes we all have to play the bullshit click bait-y game sometimes...I'd love to only post earnestly and humbly all the time but thanks to people's short attention span these days coupled with the way TH-cam's algorithm works, I'd still probably be stuck on 100 subscribers... And for the record, I do genuinely believe this riff is underrated (most people don't rank it high at all even if the song is well known) - anyways, have yourself a good day 🙂

Yes I absolutely love the bass line

Thank you, much appreciated!

Thank you!

That's literally what he did

Couldn't agree more, I absolutely love this song

@@daveshannonguitaracademy I 'discovered' this a mere 2 weeks ago falling in love with the song/video. I can't get enough of it and it's inspired me to learn the solo on guitar and now I'm wanting to give the piano a go.

Totally agree, which is why it's worthy of it's own entire separate video! Whenever I can manage to finish transcribing it haha 🥴

Oof that is a great shout!

Thank you! All my tabs are my own transcriptions that I make using guitar pro 🙂

Haha yes definitely wasn't her style 😂

That's a really good point my friend 🙂 I'm definitely gonna have to do a "Slash's best solos from his solo work" video in the future!

Because Slash's best work is without any doubt in GNR.

@@nunopereira526 I'm not saying it is not. I'm just saying, that see Slash live on his 2024' tour is load of guitar mastery even without G'n'R. And that there's a lot of really (really) good stuff on his solo records.

Thank you! Yes of course, happy to help 🙂 for finger picking the long term goal is to have true independence from what your (picking hand) thumb is doing compared to your other fingers - it's almost like the guitarist's equivalent of the left and right hand of a pianist, but just on your picking hand. Your thumb will normally be laying down a steady rhythm (think simple consistent quarter notes) and a good place to start is to try playing a higher string with your (probably index) finger at the same time as every other thumb note, so a pinching technique. The next stage is to try to put finger string plucks in-between the notes that your thumb is playing. When it comes to tapping, definitely start slow before trying to build up speed! Something to be very mindful of is when we're tapping notes we can get a lot of unwanted background resonance from other strings which can muddy the sound up a lot so we either have to carefully try to mute the unwanted strings with our fretting hand as best as we can or we can use a fret wrap/string dampener that wraps around the first fret to help dampen that I wanted string noise. This only works as long as we don't want any open strings in our tapping sequence!

@@daveshannonguitaracademy thank you for the response and the tips. I look forward to learning this technique.

You're welcome, good luck!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks! Think I'm leaning towards #2 as well 😎

Yeah the fella in the factory whacked it with a screwdriver and sanded off some finish. Truly an epic tale.

@@xStabizorz 😅 damn. Probably..

​@xStabizorz it looks like real wear. But there's no need to explain that to an expert such as yourself. Stay hydrated fam ❤️ 💜 💙

@@brandondavidson2200 The purpose of factory 'relicing' is to imitate real wear. Stay hydrated and stay safe my brother in Christ.

@@xStabizorz fair enough. But look where he's tapping on the neck. Idk. Could be fake. Could be real. I don't even really care lol. Anyway, how are you doing man? Me, I'm alright. The world is crazy but right now shit doesn't suck. I'll take it.

Glad to hear he thinks uncle Dave is funny 😂

Haha yep sounds about right

Thank you so much!
