    John Mayer is an exception to "let's celebrate my awesomeness" attitude. He breaks down his licks & explains the details so that others can also play. I'm not nearly at that level to play his challeging songs yet, but still enjoy his breakdowns. He's a true king.

    Most people commenting on this video seem to have no concept of what a 'masterclass' is supposed to be. This type of thing is not meant for people who have been playing music for only a year or two. I have experienced dozens and dozens of workshops and masterclasses from professional jazz musicians, and almost all of them deal with overarching macro concepts, rather than specific micro type things such as... how to play a pentatonic scale or something. There is a level of assumed knowledge, and it is unrealistic to expect Tom Morello (or whoever) to teach you how to play Mary had a little lamb.
    Not to mention, why would you purchase a masterclass from a specific musician if not for wanting to learn from *their* musical perspective? Once again, you can learn basic chords, scales, arpeggios etc from practically *any* guitar teacher. If you don't want to know Tom Morello's own approach to these things, why are you watching in the first place?

    • @mvinge
      @mvinge 3 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      Exactly. A traditional masterclass in an arts/music school is a top-tier private lesson given to very talented handpicked students who already have a mastery of the instrument. You usually need to audition for the good ones and it can be highly competitive. However, the masterclass is always open to an audience. The audience doesn't have to have the same ability or knowledge to listen and learn. Just don't expect to learn any fundamentals. The best ones I've witnessed have been more talking, lecturing, philosophizing from the artist rather than going over technique. It's those 1 or 2 nuggets of wisdom you hope for.

      Those guitar books are rubbish for all bands and guitarists. It's not a Tom Morello thing. They were useful in the days before the internet and even then, taught bad habits and wrong ways to play things. They were just a money grab, no tie to the bands themselves. For example.. if you want to play some Metallica riffs accurately (now), watch some Ben Eller videos. But 20-30 years ago, there was no Ben Eller. There were dodgy tabs with no rhythm or those books. Or some blurry VHS tapes of live performances. Useful for people with very little skills to get them in the ballpark of playing something similar. But guitar tabs online do something similar..
      Now we have kids able to watch their fave guitarists in HD, see their hands clearly, high quality audio.. it's a different world. Learning by ear is always best, but it's 1000 times easier now than it was listening to a fuzzy cassette or record through dodgy speakers without even being able to see what they were doing. There's also a lot more info available now in terms of interviews in HD with these guitarists and how they explain the mindset behind their style of playing. It's all good stuff.

I guess I mean that his style (Tom), once learning his songs, were fun to play but I didn't take anything away from them that was useful like other tab books had. Thats just me though, maybe it helped other musicians. Thats why I'm not knocking Tom, just would rather learn from Marty if given the choice. Again, thats just me. Cheers.

    I purchased Tom's masterclass and I really enjoyed it. I didn't come with overwhelming expectations because many of the celebrity lessons generally don't deliver stunning value. However I will say for the motivation and peak onto his approach to creating this package was invaluable. Bruce Lee said it best, "Absorb what is useful, discard what is useless, add specifically what is your own.". For some of you who are judging based on his politics or you criticize his heavy use of effects, this is a guitar course. The man has influence hundreds, if not thousands to pick up a guitar. His albums have sold millions. You might not like everything he has to offer but you're missing out if you think he has nothing to offer.

To me its all very relevant in improving on guitar. I find this valuable and all very insightful. At different tiers of learning its the focus that I expect different.

I do have to agree with Tom on practicing...I had or have 'zero natural ability' to play guitar. It comes with hours upon hours of practice...practice...practice. I remember the moment I could switch fluidly between G, D, C, F, E, A...and thought it was a MIRACLE! Like when you first rode a bike! Anyway, all you teachers on the web, keep up the good work...people are watching and learning from you all. It's appreciated. Cheers! RT

    I watched several MasterClasses and Morello's was by far my favorite. He was witty, insightful and informative. The MasterClass was for the general public (i.e. non-players who may some day be interested in playing guitar) and NOT for advanced players (thank god as that would have been boring as hell). Most people do not understand that the MasterClasses are not actual classes, but generalized topic sessions with people who have achieved something in a certain field. They are more like an extended Ted Talk. If you want you can blame MasterClass for misnaming their product, but other than that it's pretty obvious that you are getting an extended topic discussion from an expert in a field and NOT an actual class.

    Thanks for that. That's a really good look on classes on line. Yes, I would think they're helpful, but only if one loves it. I practiced the saxophone in school, and took lessons as part of the school band, but when I switched to guitar I did not, it was for pure love and inspiration driving me then, and still does. I removed the teacher and worked at my own pace which was hours a day, NOT because I had to for a grade, but because I loved it and wanted to...if one doesn't have that, it's just a chore and is being forced. Inspiration is everything on a guitar. I would think about it even when I wasn't playing/practicing, I still do. Then came the gear and tone work, which is a lifelong endeavor in and of itself, but can also be the inspiring factor that keeps one coming back to it and makes them want to get better.
    I was telling a younger person than I, there's all kinds of great guitar players out there and you can learn note for note rote learning or you can just make it yours like pretty much all the greats have done. And went on to say: a great guitar player is only half the battle, if that great player has a crappy tone I'll probably remember and dig that less technical player that just had a great sound/tone more than that amazing technical player.
    Kind of surprised that there isn't an ear training course on there...maybe there is, but I didn't see it. Would go hand-in-hand with theory studying I would think.

    I saw an interview with tom morello where he talks about finding "his sound" and he was using the old school digitech whammy pedal and his favorite marshall amp. His is big on the different effects and such. He was good in rage but i think he shined in audioslave. His unique style went well with chris cornells voice and their band in general. He was def more grounded with them. I can sorta relate to finding a sound you consider yours or the sound your looking for. Playing style and technique is a different ball game. I've personally moved away from super crazy effects. I like some but i don't like to drowned out all the good natural guitar sounds. Just a little dirt, gain, hint of reverb or delay but fairly clean. Interesting! Master class? I dont know..? Rock on!

    • @mikecampbell5452

Too many monster riffs in ratm (Down Rodeo and Son of a Broken Man aren t even basic catalogue), while, for instance, the Cochise intro is genius, but the main riff sounds... ok for a beginner?
      This feels like comparing 2 great bands though, kinda stupid.
