Very cool. Whenever that first and last note were hit well, especially the last note, it made me forget all of the notes in the middle. I still heard them, the ending just swept me away. very time!!!! Thank you!
I wish to find a bouzouki teacher like you.the way that you explain things to students its mind-blowing.. (i play greek bouzouki) You are by far one of the best guitar teachers out there!
Just by making sure the very last note of a phrase sounds totally killer, you can make the rest of it sound much better. This idea has massively improved my own guitar playing, and I know it can do the same for anyone else who follows the advice you share in this video. Thanks for sharing, Tom Hess!
Thank you for breaking it down into small but dire important peices.and match it with both hand synchronization boom,wallahh!!!perfearticulation with powerful expression.realy comes in handy.
Great lesson, I especially like when you go through the steps at the end for how to practice this, it helps a lot. Maybe a video talking more about timing and rhythm in lead playing would be cool as well unless you already have videos I’ve missed. This is something I struggle with, both paying attention to the timing of what I play at all and also how to choose when to play important notes for maximum effect.
Thanks Niklas. The main thing with lead guitar timing is to focus on the not that falls on the downbeat. If it is in time - the other notes are very likely to be in time as well. This way you don't focus on every note, but only 1 note per beat. If enough people like your comment - I will make a more detailed video about this :)
Superb... thank you Tom. I also find myself doing a harmonic tap on the 23rd than the 18th fret (16th sometimes too) when I played that lick, just to add a little more hot sauce on that last note. :)
Great video Hess! Thx! I would like to see lessons about rhythm, I think it’s a topic that few people cover! What makes a rhythm sound aggressive? Cool? Etc
Glad you like it Gregory! :) Sorry, this backing track is not available. But there are more cool backing tracks just like it here: tomhess.net/RockTracks1.aspx
Of course it can :) Any note can be used as a connection to a new phrase (and sometimes you need to practice the transition in isolation to make it sound smooth).

he is changing my life !exposing everything I have been missing in my entire 10 years of guitar practising .
I can shred with this guy all day. What a good teacher fantastic to watch.

You are welcome and thanks for the kind words :)
I love how hess admits that at one time he sucked to but he fixed some things ..I really find him very humble and realistic
It looks as the final note is much more important than any other note in a lick... Thank you!
My pleasure, and yes, the final note is everything :)

Thanks Tasos, glad you like the videos!
I am actually so grateful for this information coming from a pro player for free! This is very nice thing for Tom to do!

Awesome lesson... Thank you Tom Hess...
:) You're welcome Dhanesh!
I'm beginning to realize just how important phrasing is. Thanks for showing this!

So valuable and so simple! I'm noticing how all my favorite solos have killer last notes at the end of every phrase (Jeff Loomis comes to mind).
Thank you so much Mr. Hess! This helped a lot!!!

Critical lesson! Thanks!
You're welcome :)

You are welcome - have fun with these licks :)
thanks for the video this made me go grab my guitar
reminded me of a part in tender surrender by steve vai. He really nails those bends in that one
Yes, it's a great tune.
Great video Hess! Thx! I would like to see lessons about rhythm, I think it’s a topic that few people cover! What makes a rhythm sound aggressive? Cool? Etc

TomHessMusicCorp thx Hess! That was very helpful!
Always giving such great advices. Thanks Tom!
My pleasure David! :)
So cool!
Awesome lesson, is there a way to get this backing track? it’s really cool.
Glad you like it Gregory! :) Sorry, this backing track is not available. But there are more cool backing tracks just like it here: tomhess.net/RockTracks1.aspx
THAT'S COOL!! 🙋QUESTION!!: that final note, can be used as a connection to another phrasing? Sorry my bad English!
Of course it can :) Any note can be used as a connection to a new phrase (and sometimes you need to practice the transition in isolation to make it sound smooth).
Cool! I see that you play Chapman guitars.
Hi Daniel, I don't play Chapman guitars, not sure what made you think so?
How do you get your vibrato to sound so good? It's really "throaty" so I think that makes it sound so emotional. Amp? A pedal? 👍
I will be releasing a brand new video on Monday that covers vibrato in detail. Stay tuned for it :)
U r master really master
