Rudy’s got the techniques. That picking and fretting is so smooth you can’t really hear unless your ears are extremely keen. The subtle difference phrasings made bro undefeated. Smooth as butter.
He is both yk. Like I remember following him, in 2018ish. And I subbed to his channel because of quite some important "backstage" tips and guides he gave. 😂 But I didn't unsub because of the comedy.
This is probably the best type of exercise for guitarists. You use your brain to figure it out right on the spot. No bs. You can tell that they were struggling playing out of their comfort zone.
I feel like he was playing very outside of their styles and very comfortable on his, also there were a lot of unfair moments where they barely tried and lost but he tried a bunch of times and they let him win
im convinced that he intentionally makes himself look like he's struggling to do some of the licks when in reality he could probably just do it on the first try.
@PooNinja um true yet it wasn't meant to be that deep... was merely referencing a moment at start the video @ 0:26 more than any commentary on the flaws of linguicism.... but if the point needed to be made👍
This was both fun and revealing. People like to talk about the whole "Instagram guitarist" problem, and this game reveals just how important real chops that matter in musicianship is, versus short clips of someone shredding at neck-break speed because they practiced it a thousand times and captured that one take where they finally nailed it.
New to ur channel frm seeing ur comedy vids, its cool to see ur guitar skill and i appreciate that you’re actually very earnest about it and want other ppl to be great w u. Just nice to see, too many ppl are weird and jealous w it, cool to see you want to better the ppl arnd u. props.
I grabbed my guitar along for this one and it was a lot of fun! I was able to play most of it quickly but had trouble with ones that go out of the patterns I default to. I’m going to try this with some Jam buddies!
these are all great players, but its amazing to see they don't hone in on the subtleties like less attack, slight pick raking, more/less vibrato, or pre bends like Rudy does. that's what separates Rudy as a fantastic player
@@jimthethirdprobably This is not what he's talking about. They don't really understand how the licks work. You can see that, they only play riffs and they get fucked up trying to play licks.
Habibi your improv is pretty dope ! You’re such a funny man we forget you actually slay at guitar 🤘 🎸 🎶 🎵 I started doing this call and response exercise with my self a while back and it’s improved my playing 10 fold
@RudyAyoub my son and I enjoy your content. More of the PG content, because his age, but especially your music. I was curious, if you've ever considered creating and offering a course specifically for the younger guitarist? My son is gifted and autistic, so he struggles with the social aspect of any type of lessons. Since you've already peaked his interest with your music and his use technology to learn new skills, I feel he and others would benefit immensely from being taught your music language. I hope you'll at least consider, offering a course with the basics for the youngest guitarist with an even bigger impact then embracing and developing another's gift of unique music?
I was screaming the whole video "NOOOO" but that's because I can hear the lick, I just wouldn't be able to play it. I think this was the most impressive thing about this video. Guitarists aren't singers and they aren't pianists, and rarely are they music theorists. Rudy plays something unconventional in the guitar world and guitarists (especially noobs) have no idea what's going on. This is why we need Adam Neely up in here. Or, heaven forbid, Rick Beato. That would be a fun battle.
i think could have been the pressure of competing and being on camera and shit, plus i think most of the guys were kind of insecure abt their skill and were defensive after making a mistake, even tho rudy was really down to earth abt it
This kind of stuff is what exposes who does ear training and who doesn't. I remember doing the same exercise in music theory class except we had no visuals to go off of though. Somebody would play something with their back turned and we'd have to copy them just by listening with the whole class passive aggressively watching to criticize you when you can't get it. Such an important and underestimated skill to have, being able to play what you hear and translate that to the fretboard. What ends up happening once you get good enough at it is you memorize where the notes are on the fretboard and at that point, you can learn anything. No longer need to rely on tabs or lessons or anything to learn a song, just your ear.
I feel so bad for everyone in this room 😂 Seeing the smiles slowly fade and replaced with forced fake smiles is soul twisting😂. I feel the second hand cringe, embarrassment and passive aggressivness
This is great! Everyone wins essentially. Try this again but next time, same rules apply with the addition of: play back to back and call out your starting fret and string, for the more advanced players just play your phrase. Fun video dude ❤
We made a game called RIFF which was similar to the basketball game HORSE. I play a riff, and if the other guy cannot play that RIFF within some sort of tolerance, then he gets a letter. This reminded me of that game that we played maybe twice because we suck and have limited riffs we can use l EDIT: This might be the improved version since you're using licks which make way more sense
I have the impression Rudy is a huge fan of Opeth, or at least that he drinks from the same fountain as Åkerfeldt. I am not a guitarrist myself but my musical ears allow me to understand what's going really well, i would say, and on that, it's nice to see the more unconventional choices of Rudy kinda mindbloggling the other fellas in the video.
I listen to opeth a lot and didn't hear an ounce of similarity aside from the fact that opeth occasionally plays blues style riffs in their solos(like everyone else) and Rudy palayed some shitty blues riffs too. Perhaps your very well trained musical ears can elaborate
ive got a better idea for next time, bring all of them let them sit in circle or whatever is better give each one a guitar let them bring their own, and start from right. the starter does a lick and from the first time each guy gets a try. guy who got it gets points and if another listen is needed the starter or whoevfer has to play it again and so on
If they keep doing this the other guys are going to improve A LOT! This was the first time too, so its obvious it was going to be uncomfortable. They clearly weren't prepared but they have will improve and this could become an amazing series
Rudy and Mendal are both two insanely talented guitarists. Kudos to Lyle, Hunter and Andrew but, just different worlds to you two, great competition though
Ok so my ability to improvise though 👀 like I always judge myself so harshly but anytime I'm playing it's mostly improvising. My biggest problem is getting a good set up and not beating myself up while writing.
We all might know rudy as a comedian, but with that talent he could've been a guitar youtuber if he wants to
Bro

I wanna hear him make some midwest emo licks
This is a joke right? I assumed so until the previous comments took it literally n now I dunno
The passive aggression goin crazy in this one 🔥🔥🔥
So uncomfortable.. could not figure out if it's just an act
Istg this vid felt so weird to watch
i couldnt tell if they were joking or not 💀💀
@@akiroai6577 yeah. I don't like it.
Pretty sure everyone was just messing about... do you not rip your friends like this all the time?
"These are the rules...."
Immediately after: everyone throwing the rules out the window
I think they immediately realized only hearing it twice would be way too hard.
As the video progress It became more like learning than guess the lick lol
They just started teaching it to each other hahahahah
This is probably the best type of exercise for guitarists. You use your brain to figure it out right on the spot. No bs. You can tell that they were struggling playing out of their comfort zone.
You better practice this with non guitarist licks so you don't rely on fretboard peaking and shredding vocabulary and really use your brain instead
@@7riXtergood point
Rudy, you're a great guitarist dude. You blow these kids out of the water. You're subtle, your tone and skill are on another level.
Bro, Mendel was in Aborted, and his playing is technical as fuck
Rudy is really good but Mendel is the best guitar player in that room.
you forgot the 'unsubscribed'
Someone having gay dreams about lebanon dick :)
I feel like he was playing very outside of their styles and very comfortable on his, also there were a lot of unfair moments where they barely tried and lost but he tried a bunch of times and they let him win
This is really good. It keeps you guys sharp on the ear training
Agreed, most ppl couldn’t survive in something like this, including me
This should be a weekly thing, it's crazy how good this is for practicing, you all did great guys!
*DEDICATES LIFE TO GUITAR, GETS FAMOUS FOR ARAB DAD*
7:12 The best moment of the video!!! by far!!! 😄
im convinced that he intentionally makes himself look like he's struggling to do some of the licks when in reality he could probably just do it on the first try.
Hunter must feel like a guitar student that didn't practice what he was suppose to practice for next week
That's me 10 years ago
HAHAHA
We may never know Rudy's real accent... just here to enjoy the licks 😅
Accent to who? Way to many languages for one planet.
@PooNinja um true yet it wasn't meant to be that deep... was merely referencing a moment at start the video @ 0:26 more than any commentary on the flaws of linguicism.... but if the point needed to be made👍

They've only got under a minute to learn it, it's unreasonable to expect someone to pick all of that up that quickly after only hearing it a few time.
@@jimthethirdprobably This is not what he's talking about. They don't really understand how the licks work. You can see that, they only play riffs and they get fucked up trying to play licks.

its so weird to see guys able to play these super complcated metel riffs but get lost on some basic "jazzy" licks
Not that strange really; it shows they lack intuitive ear exploration and are mostly good at memorizing certain musical patterns...
Holy crap, a guitar video from Rudy. It must be 2022 all of a sudden.
Wake up, it’s 2020
this is why you gotta transcribe. you can train your dexterity all you want but ears are just as important (imo way more)
Haha dude this is awesome. Would love to see more of this in the future.
12:57 The best and honest advertisement that I ever seen in my live 🤣👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
It was fun to watch this battle!

Thank you, i have an introduction course for the guitar fretboard, its also in the description
danm this challenge really exposes a guitarists weaknesses
I truly agree. This really motivates me to keep training the ears AND practicing rhythm as well. We don't wanna get shamed on the gig right?

god, leave boomer rick out of this
I'm I the only one feeling the tension between some of these folk, gotdamn!
i think could have been the pressure of competing and being on camera and shit, plus i think most of the guys were kind of insecure abt their skill and were defensive after making a mistake, even tho rudy was really down to earth abt it
"That's the f*cking lick!" *and we all laughed. Good moment.

Sounds more dutch to me 🤔

This gives me hope for my career as a guitarist
My man Rudy is becoming more and more majestic looking. Good job bro. Keep it up bro
17:20 This dude changed his lick completely after the first take lol
I don’t think he himself remembers what he played the first time 😂
I feel so bad for everyone in this room 😂
Seeing the smiles slowly fade and replaced with forced fake smiles is soul twisting😂.
I feel the second hand cringe, embarrassment and passive aggressivness
"are you listening what I'm playing?" "No." 🤣🤣🤣
Imagine Tim Henson playing this game. Or like
Tim Henson Vs Tosin Abasi
poor Tim
This is actually a great practice technique. I'mma try it out with my buddies
11:28 This therapy session bro
Dude this was so much fun!
I know it's been said a lot, but Rudy has made his whole brand about not playing the guitar, but it's so mesmerizing watching and hearing him play.
Bro like just do this at all kinds of different places. This is supreme guitar content
Most hostile video you’ve put out Rudy! Keep it up!
Rudy sometimes plays a riff and then changes it the second time, haha. Great video
This is great! Everyone wins essentially. Try this again but next time, same rules apply with the addition of: play back to back and call out your starting fret and string, for the more advanced players just play your phrase. Fun video dude ❤
Rudy cocky yet humble at the same time
love seeing andrew baena in here, that guy is fantastic.
Yeah man, Carcosa is sublime!
06:56 When you feel frustrating with a lick and your friend tries to calm you🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
man I really enjoy watching this, I wish I was there
Bro more importantly are you doing well after that crash?
Doing physical therapy habibi

The other guitarist is left handed!!!!!! Being one myself I love seeing someone play it that way
17:01 Rudy I need more of this man
This video is doing Rudy's ego no favors.
I have the impression Rudy is a huge fan of Opeth, or at least that he drinks from the same fountain as Åkerfeldt. I am not a guitarrist myself but my musical ears allow me to understand what's going really well, i would say, and on that, it's nice to see the more unconventional choices of Rudy kinda mindbloggling the other fellas in the video.
Honestly bro I havent listened to opeth much
@@RudyAyoubi see some similar patterns here and there, quite enjoyable ones. If not the same, very similar fountain of inspiration, at least.
I listen to opeth a lot and didn't hear an ounce of similarity aside from the fact that opeth occasionally plays blues style riffs in their solos(like everyone else) and Rudy palayed some shitty blues riffs too. Perhaps your very well trained musical ears can elaborate
This is what playing music with friends is all about: 🐉 *MORTAL KOMBAT* 🐉
I want to see you against The Doo... should be a challange
Ah yes, the human tape recorder
I had no trouble following any of Rudy's licks. I have no idea what these other guys were doing.
lol the intense scary feeling when you're around other guitarists is real w this one
Great video, definitely gonna use the code for the course! 🎸👍
It was a lot of fun playing along.
I would love to see guthrie govan play this game
The tone coming out of the Strat style Ibanez is a war crime to the ears.
Rudy coaching the other guitarists is just awesome 👍🏾
Congrats on 1 million
The licks are just so good
That Yamaha sounds great !😊
Such a tense video
crossroads duel : bootleg version ( Clarke is the devil )
do the part 2 please
that was really good
Yes, finally a youtuber I like using a Revstar
That yamaha revstar is great looking guitar
Last time I was this early, I... hm, I can't think of a joke right now.
"That's too long"...says the guy who just swept the whole f*ckin neck with a "lick"
I'm also a guitarist and This was pretty cool!
ive got a better idea for next time, bring all of them let them sit in circle or whatever is better give each one a guitar let them bring their own, and start from right. the starter does a lick and from the first time each guy gets a try. guy who got it gets points and if another listen is needed the starter or whoevfer has to play it again and so on
Yay! Revstar! I have one of those!
rudy you definitely should make your own YT channel!
love how Agufish is like confused with all those questions and just slams in with an epic riff :D
If they keep doing this the other guys are going to improve A LOT! This was the first time too, so its obvious it was going to be uncomfortable. They clearly weren't prepared but they have will improve and this could become an amazing series
I'm disappointed no one threw in polyrhythms to challenge Rudy
This was legit uncomfortable to watch, that passive agressive was wilddddd
Rudy and Mendal are both two insanely talented guitarists. Kudos to Lyle, Hunter and Andrew but, just different worlds to you two, great competition though
This made some really decent guitar players look like beginners 😂
17:16 guy stares at his non existent watch
Nah wait Rudy had it 19:32
Yo, this video idea was very cool and I really enjoyed it :)
Love goes out to my boy, Rudolph Adobe
More of this format pls
I hope god puts a man like Rudy in my path 😍😍😍😫
I guess SLOSH was too scared to show up!!!!
I enjoyed this video so much. Thank you bro
wow I was literally just thinking about that there should be a video like "guess the beatboxer" videos but guitarists.
It's weird how nobody played "the" lick
atleast rudy was willing to play at there level of guitar
rudy is holding back a LOT
U kno it
Ok so my ability to improvise though 👀 like I always judge myself so harshly but anytime I'm playing it's mostly improvising. My biggest problem is getting a good set up and not beating myself up while writing.
6:30 homie got tired and did a main character in the east lick.
Probably the coolest vdo for today
