IMPOSSIBLE Guitar Licks from Instructional Videos
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 พ.ย. 2024
- In this video we take a look back at some of the most insane guitar licks from popular instructional videos.
If you have been learning to play the guitar at any point over the last 30-40 years you will have no doubt came across a number of these instructional videos from famous guitar players, mainly from the REH video group.
Some of the guitar playing on display in these videos is jaw-dropping and while pretty impractical if you are just starting to learn, they show off the skill of the some of the shredders that were around in the 80s, 90s and beyond.
Here are the timestamps of the guitar instructionals covered in this video:
00:17 Shawn Lane (Power Licks)
02:13 Paul Gilbert (Intense Rock)
03:54 Allan Holdsworth
05:16 Yngwie Malmsteen
05:41 Ritchie Kotzen (Rock Chops)
06:39 Reb Beach (Cutting Loose)
08:43 Steve Morse (Power Lines)
10:39 Shawn Lane (Power Solos)
There are plenty of videos we have not covered, including George Lynch, Michael Angelo Batio, John Petrucci so if you'd like us to do a video on those guys, please leave your suggestion in the comments.

Part 2 is now live! th-cam.com/video/RwoCgSCcQoM/w-d-xo.html
Full respect for every musician....but... Shawn and Allan are another story...
don't forget kotzen......
@@christophegarand4838 I don't even know young kotzen play like that......
Man Shawn Lane playing at that speed while suffering from Psoriatic arthritis is amazing!
Yeah kind of a weird choice to put him as the very first on the list: No disrespect to anybody else most people will never be able to play well, any of this. And maybe Paul Gilbert or Alan Holsworth have (had) the same kind of freakisly large hands and reach but not at the speed Shawn was playing.
@@dimitriid Shawn's playing was outta this world!
@@dimitriid : What makes you think Shawn Lane had ‘freakishly large’ hands? They were actually rather small with short and stubby fingers, something he shared with other famous guitarists like Angus Young, Phil Keaggy, Andres Segovia, Steve Lukather and, last but not least, the great Danny Gatton, who had more virtuosity, improvisational talent and good taste in his little finger than Shawn Lane or anyone else in this video, even with a towel wrapped around it: th-cam.com/video/lBGanEveGVc/w-d-xo.html
This is, of course, my very personal opinion, but it is one I share with the likes of Steve Vai, no slouch himself, who said: "Danny Gatton comes closer than anyone else to being the best guitar player that ever lived."
@@ArkyMalarkey Danny Gatton doesn't even come close to Allan's musical knowledge, or Shawn's incredible technique or feel. Danny Gatton, Truth be told looks like a standard blues player who just relies on flashy theatrics. Gatton's an amazing player, I love his stuff, but to say his note choice, phrasing or virtuosity is better than Allan's or Shawn's? Yeah... right. Snap back to reality.
@@jackblack486 : ‘Standard blues player, huh?’
th-cam.com/video/K95dlCqp-R4/w-d-xo.html
But that’s okay, good taste may still develop later in life (although in your case, I have my doubts).
Paul Gilbert was the most helpful for me. I learned more about shredding and how to build speed and technique from his video than I had in 10 years of playing.
Shawn Lane was in his own league. All I learned from him was that I'll never play like that.
Allan's brain was the most incredible facet of his playing. There will never be another like him.
yeah, but would you even WANT to play like that? Nobody ever heard of him, other than a few guitar players around the world. Much in the way you and i have our own licks that sound very impressive, we both know that some of it is smoke and mirrors and most average guitar players could play those lixx pretty easily with a few hours practice. This should be a good lesson for you. The guy can probably play ANYTHING or at least A LOT of things other people cant, and thats what he is renound for basically, but yet he is in capable of playing the notes that would allow him to support himself financially as a guitar player. There is no sound more dead than shred guitar.
@@Willjrockstar if your referring to Paul Gilbert he played three note top 40 stuff during Mr big?
@@dannyhood7433 Nope, never Paul. He actually WAS capable of supporting himself financially as a guitar player.
Paul Gilbert has a very cool personality with his sense of humour. Along with his ability to get his point across, that makes him a great teacher.
Agreed…well said 👍
Shawn's playing is so alien and hard to wrap your head round the rest I can understand and that is why he is so amazing.
Nothing really wows me these days on guitar. I certainly enjoy the great players and get cool ideas from them, but when I just watched Shawn I literally was throwing my hands up and saying "what the fuck?". It's just different.
The golden days!
You've put them out of a job with those chops Rick 😆 Big fan my friend, appreciate the watch!
Allan Holdsworth 🙏🙏in his own league....
Reb Beach's tapping solo sounded beautiful! And Steve Morse's guitar appears to have a car phone
😂 He was in demand back then, so he had to be ready to take the calls. I had a brick phone at one of my old jobs that looked just like that!
It's for "Morse code" lol
I've always found Reb's style super melodic and catchy, which I love. He's got crazy speed, but it generally still sounds very musical.
@@BillLarkinmusic HA! That’s a clever one.
If they were playing clean one could follow this seamlessly by playing it 0.5x
I've been playing guitar all my life and Shawn Lane makes me feel like a complete beginner who hasn't the foggiest. The man was a straight up genius!
I'm not sure if it was REH but John Petrucci's rock discipline was definitely the most useful as to actually getting better. Same for the Paul Gilbert stuff. Vinnie Moore had a good one too, very clean playing with minimal delay/distortion.
His Wild Stringdom book is a bible of useful information.
I couldn’t get passed the warm up 😢
I can appreciate Shawn Lane more now than I could back then.
Tough one cause nobody can play like him. Reminds me of Holdsworth. Good luck understanding his videos
@@Classic_DionysuS yes S.L. had super human speed. There's only one other guy I can think of that can shred at Lane's level, Roy Marchbank.
The only thing I learned from the Lane REH videos is how to tune my guitar.. Thanks Shawn!
Shawn and Allan are awesome. Their playing is so dreamy and otherworldly. Heady stuff. Meanwhile I’m not even beginning to understand what Steve Morse is doing. It’s cool stuff though.
The late Shawn Lane ftw.
Rest in peace legend.
Paul Gilbert’s pick attack sounds lovely
Really brought back memories, there were a ton of other videos, love this stuff! These were some of my favorites, also loved Frank Gambale, Greg Howe, and Jason Becker to name a few more. Thank you!
Same here, was like walking down memory lane putting it together. Thanks for watching!
paul gilbert and chris impelliteri helped me the most back then. learning from these people is huge.
The 80s..the golden decade of electric guitar...michael lee firkins, vito bratta..all were great.... and some first among
equals... all were an inspiration...so happy to watch your videos......great work......
These raked alternate picking runs that Steve Morse does are pretty wild. And of course the king of pattern hyperdrive, Shawn Lane.
Holy shit this channel is a goldmine, i absolutely suck at guitar but i grew up with these videos as a young metalhead in the early 2000s. I love every second of this.
PD: Allan Holdsworth is just from another dimension. Dude's playing was insane.
I grew up in the 80’s when these were first coming out. I would borrow some of these on VHS from my local library because I couldn’t afford to buy them, lol! But I did have bootlegs of the “Star Licks” lick tape cassettes of Randy Rhoads and Yngwie Malmsteen. I did actually by a lick tape from the METAL METHOD lesson series from Doug Marks. This video brings back memories! Thanks for posting this!
I did exactly the same with the VHS tapes! Thanks for watching!
Oh man.. what a walk down memory lane. I used to be glued to Danny Gatton's instructional!! Car mechanic by day, god of the telecaster by night. This is a great throwback!
Glad you enjoyed it :) Thanks for watching!
Hehe. I remember borrowing the Paul Gilbert one off a friend. I still use one of the practice warm up things to this day!!!
It’s crazy how SL is just at a whole different level than most ALL guitarists. He had great hands
Shawn lane, vinnie vincent, allan holdsworth.
Not only their speed but their styles too.
I had them all...somehow they were super scary and super inspiring simultaneously.....
Just been watching the classical part of Paul Gilbert’s guitars from mars a few days ago! Great to see a few of these put together. New subscriber ✌🏻
Awesome, thanks Jon!
I have almost all of the REH and Hot Licks releases on VHS. Each has its place in my heart. The Steve Lukather one is great, as are the Vinnie Moore and Steve Morse tapes. But Shawn's is the only tape that I just switched my amp off and watched. I was never gonna do that.
The intro to Steve Lukather's video is 👍👍👍👍
@@jimstewart8122 it sure is, as is the outro. I understand he was coked off his face when he recorded it, which explains much...
Holy Shit Shawn Lane!!! I would say this instructional tape is more entertaining than his actual album. Damn!
???
I'm a keyboard player and still enjoys watching guitar players do their thing! I remember watching Michael Romeo's guitar chapter a lot in early 2000s.
Love a good keyboard solo! Symphony X, Jordan Rudess style. Thanks for watching!
Looking back, it's actually great to see these videos and know that what you see is what you hear - these days it's impossible to know if what you're hearing on a video is actually real. That said, there's a big difference between Allan and the other chaps here. As good as they were, they were indeed playing licks - stuff that they had worked out in advance. Allan didn't play licks - he improvised all that stuff on the spot.
What do you mean it's hard to tell if it's hard to tell if it's real these days? Do your eyes not work? Even amateur guitarist can spot a fake guitarist nobody is out there pretending to shred much less pretending to make tutorial videos if that's what you're saying.
@@preston2636"shredders" these days use all kinds of studio tricks and spend hours doing hundreds of takes trying to nail it, particularly those players who you see on instagram or shorts where these older school players tended to just go off the cuff, and you can tell- it sounds a LOT more natural and human, as inhuman as some of their technique seems
Thanks for watching 👍 Shawn definitely held him in the highest of esteem, think there's a video out there with Shawn meeting Allan and looking quite giddy.
@@zolarczakl6815 Today's players are amazing, and you don't have to be so condescending towards them because you think they can't play off the cuff like guitarists in the past. They can, but they also have to navigate a very different environment. A perfectionist environment created by social media. There is also a lot of money in social media and in order to get noticed in a ocean of players you have to strive for those perfect takes. Call it inhuman if you like, but they are actually very talented people playing. And they put in thousands of hours of practice.
If a studio version of a song sounds too fixed up, go watch live performances and judge them on how well they play it live instead of assuming they can't just because they are a modern player.
@@MikaelLV There are some amazing players today for sure, but the vast majority of players these days are bedroom warriors who don't know how to play with other people and who portray themselves in a certain way, doing it for clout and to flex on social media for follows and likes and that crap. I definitely agree that the root cause is social media, it's causing a kind of pathology in most people, not just guitarists, to strive for the appearance of perfection and to appear outstanding and exceptional, which causes a complete shift of what is important as a musician. I've tried jamming with so many "amazing" guitarists who have impressive looking instagram pages who don't understand some very fundamental shit. They can do certain things they've spent hundreds of hours practicing great, but so much effort is put towards being able to show off instead of being a well rounded musician. It was definitely the case in the past, but it's a problem that is getting much worse.
Paul is my favorite. so intense and humorous
Shawn y Allan son otra cosa, no tienen límites 😮
Does anyone get anything from the Shawn Lane video other than, “here is something else you can’t do.” Do the other three people in the world than can do it need an instructional video? Wish I could have seen him live.
People talking about musicality forgeting these are just examples lol. No one wants to see a shred demon teaching pretty melodies and no one wants to see Mr soul teaching chainsaw shred. They are playing what people wanted to learn from them most, simple.
Best part of this video is the music in between each segment.
That second Kotzen exercise here was so ingrained in my hands that I kind of default to it still to this day when I've got nothing.
I wish some of those Lane licks were ingrained in my hands 😞 Thanks for watching!
I remember in early youtube, one of the first viral videos was a hilarious Malmsteen edit.
Yes loved these videos so much 😍 amazing virtuoso players
More to come!
very nostalgic video haha, need part 2 with tony macalpine, greg howe, michael angelo, michael romeo, impelliteri...
Incredible and untouchable masters of the shred lead guitar. Just amazing. I’m content with the knowledge that I’ll never be able to play like them. But that said, there’s only one solo on this video that is in any way memorable or melodic and that’s Reb Beach’s. I know that’s just on this sample of licks, but it does provide a lesson there…The solos we remember (even shred ones) are the ones we can sing. Maybe that’s why you find Satriani, Vai, Gilbert, Kozen, and others coming back to more melodic and often bluesy solos on their latest tunes.
Thank you for this profound service to humanity!❤
😂 It is my duty to serve ... glad you liked it Tim.
@Face Melters people be forgettin'......😮😎
All of them are beasts. My personal favorites are Kotzen and Morse, Kotzen because of his amazing overall musicianship and Morse for his melodic versatility and technical finesse demonstrated on both electric and classical guitar.
That said, Lane and Holdsworth are in league of their own, even in this mighty company.
Shawn Lane had one in a billion super human speed. RIP
Check out Roy Marchbank..😲
@@Rikk_Klaww777 oh that Irish guy or Scottish, or wherever tf he from yeah he got super human speed too
@Hank Ramos incredibly humble dude too.
Guthrie govan
I still have John Petruchi's VCR tape, the same one you showed as the last one on your thumbnail. I don't know if I'll ever be able to listen to it again, but it always reminds me of when I really started getting much deeper into guitar.
Well thankfully it's uploaded to TH-cam! Thanks for watching :)
Just watching him casually move through the insane stretches and thinking 'damn, I've got some work to do'
Next video please include Doug Marks Metal Method.
That series was the first I got hooked on in the early 80s.
Working on a Part 2 so will check that out. Thanks for watching!
Shawn lane perfected efficiency of motion.
Allan holdsworth introduced sounds we never heard before.
Paul Gilbert showed anything was possible with alternate picking.
Reb Beach was just a cool MFer with killer licks and phrasing, heading for a heartbreak with them seventeen year olds.
I had just about all those old instructional vids. Learned a few techniques from each one, but spent the most time on the vids from Greg howe, Steve morse, and Frank gambale's chopbuilder....made me an exponentially better player. A few vids were so advanced, they were just a demo...like Shawn Lane's.
GENIUS ! Putting Shawn Lane first so everything else seems doable (even if it is not haha)
Gotta have some hope right? :) Thanks for watching!
Paul Gilbert certainly doesn't sound more doable to me. Phenomenal chops, _and_ he has that rock & metal aggression in his playing, along with that cool vibrato and those wide bends.
Learned all Paul Gilbert's licks to perfection. Shawn, well he's unattainable.
If you listen to Shawn`s playing you can definitely hear where Buckethead got his licks from...
Shawn Lane...man...shred central..!!!
Ngl shawn and holdsworth are everything my ears can't describe .
I love this channel! Thank you for this content ⚡️🖤
Our pleasure!
Awesome vid, could have watched for hours.
Wow, thanks so much 🙏
This was a freaking awesome video! 😃
Thank you!! 😁
Really cool video man. Love it 🤘🤘
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great compilation. I also love the Albert Lee chicken-picking video
I'm not old enough to have bought any of those vhs but I think they must've discouraged a lot of people when they were supposed to help them 😂
Shawn is unreal.
Cool. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, that tapping solo was so good
Sounded like it took a second for Paul to get going but man he actually started flying
I cant believe you didnt show Echo Etude from the yngwie video!
My bad! 🥺 - I've no doubt we'll cover Yngwie again at some point so will include it then :)
I remember the Brett Garsed, Joe Diorio, Greg Howe, Tony MacAlpine, Kee Marcelo, Jason Becker and Frank Gambale have some serious chops too. You might be interested to check a French one : Patrick Rondat "Virtusosité et vélocité à la guitare"
Oh... and also the one where Steve Morse demonstrates _2manyNotes_ Can't remember whether it's Power Lines or Highlights...
Yeah they're all on my favourites list. Rondat looking like Slash, playing like Vinnie Moore! Thanks for watching!
@@facemelters VinMan of course. I forgot about him. Got all his CDs though.
Brett Garsed, Shawn Lane, and Frank Gambale released an album called _Centrifugal Funk_ back in the 90s.
That was Power Lines. Joe Diorio was so advanced melodically, only Holdsworth here could reach that kind of creativity.
@@MrClassicmetalthat album is amazing. Brett solo are top
My entire childhood!
The first one...i can't event balance properly ....what was it...damn goose bumps...
I like how you got Shawn out of the way first and ended with him, everything else (besides Holdsworth) might as well be smoke on the water licks.
Start with the best, end with the best ;) Thanks for watching!
They are all amazing, but for me, the most tasteful player out of the bunch was Reb Beach...that ballady solo was just perfection! And Richie Kotzen of course...knowing what he became all these years later; a master songwriter, singer and player.
@@dewapd1169 In fact, Kotzen is a better vocalist than for example John Mayer and also a better guitarist by far.
Ya, Steve Morse is an amateur…
Paul was such a beast!
Eddie Van Halen often mentioned Allan Holdsworth during the 1984 promotion interviews . Now I see why .
All astonishing players. I've used 1% of this in reality, though. At least Reb and Steve sounded musical. 😄
1% is better than 0%. I took as much as i could from all these players. Musical? Leave the music for albums, I want to see face melting examples showcasing superior technique.
The only (almost) impossible licks are Shawn Lane's. From all the guitar players I have seen, maybe only one guy named Roy Marchback is able to play these kind of licks at such speeds.
Dude...u should put Shawn Lane last.!! After him I found it so hard to listen to everyone else even though I grew up loving all these players in the day..😐😑😁😁😁🤘🤘🤘🤘
Reb beach and Allan holdsworth are the cleanest players here, and to me, that matters waaaay more than just mere speed.
Paul Gilbert actually had style and some soul to his shredding though
Reb Beach was my fave - by far!
[ With the possible exception of Yngwie and Gilbert. But they are npt new to me.. ]
And it seems I'm not alone, as his spot is the "most replayed" part of the video.
His was actually the most subdued of all the all shredders...but he had such supreme control. And that cones out in every bend and nuance.
Contrasted by Richie Kotzen , who (well, firstly, I didn't even know he could shred like that ), but...was kinda sloppy in his technique. Next to Reb, anyway.
Also, the double hand tap technique - not just for the fast passages, but right throughout, the melodic parts too, really create a unique sound. It gives the sonic impression that he is flying free from "boxes".
Make the shredders great again!!!
Amen! Thanks for watching!
Growing up watching these type of instruction video tapes, I always felt like a hack on the guitar.
Then I realized that if I wrote solos like people sing, I could create my own thing.
I could still throw in a blazing fast run to show off, but people remember the more melodic part of a solo than the brain melting fast notes.
CC Deville has more in common with Kurt Cobain than people realize. You can sing the solo to “…Teen Spirit” just as you can to “Every Rose…”
Think Eric Johnson has that mindset nailed. Chord tones all the way. Thanks for watching!
Glen Frey said the best solo is one you can whistle!!!!
@@eddiejr540 'peaceful easy feeling' being a case in point. A classic guitar solo. Metal wank solos are ten a penny.
Shawn Lane was really good at doing what you explained. He blazes through these examples here (it is just an instructional video) and then can record songs like Illusions with an acoustic and little to no shred, perfect all rounder. Yes its true that SOME people remember melodic moments better, but face melters will inspire you to become more technically proficient - i dont think people liked EVH for his melodies, it was his innovative techniques.
@@uraniumcranium2613 well I’m not even a pimple on Shawn’s ass when it comes to neck knowledge at hyper velocity, the brain to fingers thing. So that’s why I always felt like a guitar hack to all of these guys.
I couldn’t innovate out of a wet paper bag. But, I did have an ear, and I could read people’s reactions to things that emotionally moved them. So I focused more on that way of playing so that I had a chance of succeeding. Doesn’t always mean that I did succeed, but at least had a chance. And of course, I had to throw a EVH harmonic horse whining Floyd fun trick every once in a while to show that I wasn’t a grunge player😂.
Malmsteen like: "CMON ppl this lick is easy, i teach you! Look! *BREWWWWLLLLELLELLILIIbrlblrlbrbrlWWEErlrlrlrililirrlrlWwhrrrooooo!!!!* hehe!"
Holdsworth and Lane must be Jedi
Shawn Lane was amazing!😮😢
Holdsworth brain didn't have enough tools to express it's self I guess.
Impellitteri REH "Speed Soloing" video is notoriously missed here. I suggest an upload of his video for a second part.
Paul Gilbert and Steve Morse are my favorites. Very funny to watch. John Petrucci as well.
Reb beaches legato solo is so good
George Lynch 😎👍👌💯🎸🎸. Also Eric Johnson probably the most technical guitarist I've ever heard. He's awesome 😎👍💯🎸
Yeah, Eric gets us right in the feels. Thanks for watching!
@@facemelters 😎👍👌💯🎸
Shawn was a great and exeptional musician/guitar/pianoplayer. However, when you slow things down his playing it is often a bit sloppy.
Because of the lightning speed and tons of delay you don’t hear it that much in real time, but when slowing things down it becomes obvious.
Holdsworth was a genius! Unbelievable legato technique combined with highly complex harmony and stunning improvisations together with a complete unique sound and approach makes him stand out of the rest for me.
Paul is a great alternate picker as Steve Morse is. I realy dig the old Dixy Dregs stuff where Steve shines.
Nowadays there is this young Russian player, Anton Oparin, who has the most terrifying alternate picking capabilities ever!
Realy like Ritchie Kotzen! Great singer too!
Reb Beach: great tapping, but i never liked the tapping sound that much.
Never cared that much for Malmsteem’s playing. Although he has great technique i just don’t like his phrasing and the constant use of the harmonic minor scale.
Lane played a lot of total gibberish. You can just look at his left hand, he’ll often take one dumb little shape and just run it all over the fretboard. It’s garbage. I hate all the idiots that worship Lane. He was an astronomical jerkoff. Actually none of these shredders will even try to play jazz, they would fold after two bars and they know it. Holdsworth was fucking cool though. He improvised over jazz changes but did it in his own home-cooked way. When you really examine Holdsworth’s approach, it’s so formally uneducated, it’s almost hillbilly-like in its stark simplicity…yet it sounds absolutely brilliant. He sounds like a galaxy-brain Mr Spock jazz astrophysicist but it was the exact opposite. I love good jazz and LOVE Holdsworth, but I despise about 98% of rock shredders and their big jerkoff egos
Reb Beach sounds great , uses the tap more than most.
Morse is all about strict Alternate picking .
Lane I always dig his 2 notes per string patterns of 4 5 6 and 7
Big fan of Beach. Black Magic a total classic. Thanks for watching!
@@facemelters I am going to look for an Mp3 of that, I have seen Reb with Dokken on the first tour he did with them , I did not recognize him , I remember he completely shredded on every song as if he did not acknowledge the album recordings, then the next leg of the tour we saw them again and he was playing all Lynch's melodies .
Monster player
I think he's playing with Whitesnake now. Think he re-released Black Magic, definitely on Spotify if you have it.
@@facemelters ok cool, thanks for the info .
Still love Richie Kotzens Ibanez!
Lmfao @ Shawn “ this is a beebop rigf” then preceeds to sound lime Yngwie on crack
Shawn killed it
Ugh. I can't believe there was actually a time when this mattered.
"And remember, keep on shredding. "
🤘🤘
You could have ended this video right after the first player. Shaw Lane is the ultimate shredder EVER !
I can see why Paul Gilbert says Shawn Lane is "The Most Terrifing guy of All Time"
Steve Morse is ready to change the channel at all times
Shawn was on another level.
Whats the big number pad attached to the lower body on Steve Morse's guitar?
I have them ALL. On VHS Tape, yes.
I saw Y malmsteens vid, he plays this fast lick and I say hell yeah hes gonna do it slow...... Then he says " now at normal tempo" .
Hearing the first one I thought, "man - that sounds like a lot of Buckethead's signature riffs.. but he's talking? And I instantly knew it was Shawn Lane
