The wife and I had gone to Toronto Canada to see The Tragedy Hip perform and little did we know Weezer was one of the opening acts, so we made it to the front row before the set. I’ve been to a lot of concerts but Weezer was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen, they played extra heavy,flawless and great interaction with the crowd. I consider myself blessed to be part of that generation of music growing up as a kid.
My wife and I had a similar experience and we saw them in Philly at a concert with less than 4,000 people. They played for 3 hours just like you described. Like a month and a half later we discovered she was pregnant with my only son who's now 11. We narrowed it down to our Weezer concert. Hahaha
Love that Big Apple strat!!! I think Rivers thick sound can be attributed to the fact that he used a Gibson Les Paul double cut with P90's in the studio to record the blue album.
Thank you so much man. I love my Big Apple double humbucker strat. I bought this thing brand new over 20 years ago. It's been in a funk band, thrash band, metal band, weird alternative off-time tempo band, cover band, and now fills in here and there for the Pink Floyd tribute I'm in. It literally is the most neutral guitar I've ever had. As clean and as heavy as one desires on command. Still plays like it's brand new. 😎
You're very good explain step by step, my only suggestion is the camera angle need to be "from top to bottom" not bottom to top reason why... Is a bit hard to see... Where or what string you're playing, so if you put the camera above the guitar neck, it'll be easy to see what strings are being played.
Thank you for the suggestion on this as I have realized this recently. In the process of setting up a music room and getting a better camera with a tripod and stuff so I can do this. Thank you so much for watching and I'm glad it helped
@@Stringprodigy can you make a video showing me what I did wrong. I watched some other videos and I disagreed with everyone elses interpretation. I tried at the time to figure it myself so thanks. Sorry you wasted your time
I'm sorry to say this, but what you show in the video is far from accurate. You haven't played any single part of the song properly! Don't get me wrong, it works fine as a cover or your own interpretation of the song, but saying this is a tutorial is a bit presumptuous and misleading.

3 mins in and there’s already some killer tips
Yesss sir! "No one else" is 90% learned! (Thank you! :) ) and before i perfect the "solo" it i'm already jumping on to the next one! Sweet! :)
Thank you! I've mastered this! 🙏
great video, bonus awesomeness for the hardtail double fat strat

@@ryanguitargodfrey Sounds awesome. especially perfect for weezer too, as rivers cuomo had his sonic blue hardtail strat as well

My favorite weezer song. Always reminds me of my ex wife 😕
This is the best lesson of this on TH-cam
I do a different chord progression for the chorus but this is spot on
Yeah man always room for a little interpretation here and there right. Thank you so much for the kind words.
Ryan Guitar Godfrey dude you should totally upload a guitar only cover of this song. The first 1:50 of this is ear porn
No, this is wrong in so many spots, starting with the intro.
Is that the exact fuzz pedal that weezer use? Is it a fuzz or distortion?
I totally didn't try to mimic their sound at all. I just selected one of my preset distortions.
I use big muff with tone knob around 0 and it kinda sounds similar
Way wrong
Way? Really? I think it matches up perfectly. In what way is it wrong? If you put all of these parts together properly it recreates this song.
@@ryanguitargodfrey Inyour opinion. The arpeggiated parts are simply not correct
@@Stringprodigy can you make a video showing me what I did wrong. I watched some other videos and I disagreed with everyone elses interpretation. I tried at the time to figure it myself so thanks. Sorry you wasted your time
@@ryanguitargodfrey why would I make a video?
