Saw him at Sturgis 2017, the guy basically shredded for like 45 minutes straight while Ozzy lollygagged around the stage prob not knowing where he was lol
😆 I've seen him play a few times and, although he's got super fast skills which are impressive, the endless shredding going nowhere gets old pretty fast IMHO.
As much of a fan I am of Zakk and his playing, I've never heard another guitarist constantly repeat the same lick over and over as much as he does... Except for maybe every blues player that ever existed.
I agree. If you listen to Hendrix or Van Halen or Alex Lifeson or Slash then you listen to Zakk there's something lacking with his playing. I honestly think it's because he's usually playing DRUNK. I can say first hand that if I drink too much my playing gets sloppier and I will repeat shit more
This dude has so much talent, I really hope he gets a decent setup in the future, he could be one of the best TH-camrs! Should we start a GoFundMe for him maybe?
Great playing Mr Wylde You can certainly introduce the classical guitar into your concerts That would be a fresh breath for many fans I'm sure they would love it like I do
I saw him with Pride and Glory a 3 piece July 1994 Bristol UK it was incredible just a very small venue it was so hot there were people fainting, but Jesus he was on fire so intense...
I've watched this video over 20times and am still trying to figure out the hybrid picked banjo rolls.Too slick Zack.To all the haters and their comments you should consider how difficult a nylon string neck is due to the thickness and I would like to see your best lick on nylonstring,any scale if pentatonic isn't to your liking because of your superior musical knowledge and virtuosity.That's what I thought.Thankyou Mr.Wylde for being you.
More like “showing his pentatonic scale blues skills” on a classical guitar/the first thing most people learn on a guitar. I would like to see him play a piece of classical music on it.
You've gotta be kidding me.. Kid, playing a classical guitar doesn't make you better than the rest of the guitarists. Let go of your ego a bit. Zakk would handfold you into a balloon while beating you on guitar any day.
I actually miss when his use of pentatonic riffs and licks were MORE prominent. Book of Shadows should've cemented him a position at the forefront of The rock, metal, and singer songwriter scenes. I'll never understand why he never straight up dominated.
Hahaha By sticking to the most overplayed basic scale?! I really like Zakk and I don't think there's any thing wrong with just playing pentatonic. I just thought that was a curious statement. No offense intended
For all of the guitar heroes leaving negative comments about Zakks playing,just remember your not even a pimple on his ass as far as anything guitar related.
They are true idiots. Zakk can play anything and better than most. I’ve seen it, I’ve been to his classical guitar recitals prior to Ozzy and I’ve watch him for hours.
Ya he said in one of his interview that he can't emulate Randy or any other so he will do something original which others Haven't done before and got pentatonic scale.
@@rewajamir9190 Tbf i’d say that’s because most players realise how boring and repetitive it gets just playing pentatonic over any chord structure lol. It’s a shame zakks so talented in fact you almost forget what a monster player he is because you just associate him with the same repeated pentatonic licks
@@alexjackson8841 no more tears album had some serious creativity level using slide, heavy chunky rhythm, modern metal riff , teeth grinding solo, powerful ballad style etc... Maybe he had grown lazy iver the years to explore new ideas else I have no objection noodling around Penta.
This reminds me of when I saw country musician Roy Clark, renowned on the "fiddle," play classical music on a violin. Just because somebody typically performs in a genre does not mean they cannot perform equally as well in others.
I agree, your comment reminds of the great Randy Rhoads playing his own creation Dee (beautiful little piece). Randy surely was an artist, however Zakk is not even playing classical music intended for the classical guitar. I like Zakk, he created his own style, at least I like him better than Slash, lol. Here he is just shredding on a scale that can easily be blues... on a classical guitar with a "pick". But heck, he or anybody else can do whatever he wishes with a grand piano, drums, kalimba, or whatever, lol.
It would've been cooler had he actually known a classical piece or two, even simpler ones. Like this, it's like 'Oh yeah, let's go into pentatonic mode again'. Some guitarists are just not flexible. He has good technique for what he does, but nothing else really.
Or with taste is the question, incredible guitarist but goddamn to only rip pentatonic licks as fast as possible at ALL times fatigues the ear like a mofo....Book of Shadows Zakk, Book of Shadows...tasteful, solos tasteful, fast licks where they fit...that shit was incredible!
He has great skill on classical guitar, I am just not sure why anybody would be surprised at this if he is already good at electronic. I am an amateur player of classical and since I watched hundreds of instruction and play videos and music I am not surprised. Usually the skill on both of these types of guitar is I interchangeable because in essence they are almost identical instrument and usually if a player really likes one of these two types of guitar they usually own the other type. They just predominantly play one or the other.
Wait, what? This sucked. It sounded like pentatonic scales on a banjo. It’s bad enough to hear steel string acoustic players butcher a nylon string guitar with raw flat pick technique, having never spent the practice time to get good nylon tone. To see somebody desecrate it with this type of plinky pentatonic wankery is painful.
@@Zaotar1 Uses the word "butcher" and "desecrate" when describing guitar technique... thinks nylon string guitars are a special thing you can only play in one way... folks, we got a prime candidate for a "let people enjoy things" here!
That isn't anything except some hammering on and pulling off the fret board doing scales , but using a pick, some special skills would of been the same thing doing fingerstyle or a tremolo , fast always isn't good it's just fast

A wah pedal?
So refreshing to see him playing pentatonics again!

No Lollygagging!
Would like to be at that kinda show..

Almost made it sound like a banjo. Awesome skills.
Horrible sound for a classical guitar. But he is a great electric guitar player.
That’s some good ol’ hybrid picking. Mastodon does this a lot too.
Sounded like shit.
Crap sound for classical guitar didn't mean to make it sound like a banjo just came over that way
I was just thinking ... if he played this in the woods - no one would venture near.
To see hybrid picking on a classical is WYLDE!
As much of a fan I am of Zakk and his playing, I've never heard another guitarist constantly repeat the same lick over and over as much as he does... Except for maybe every blues player that ever existed.
You should check out his album grimmest hits. I really enjoyed some his playing on that record.
Do you play guitar? Do you listen to blues? Based on what you just said I bet my house you don’t do any of those
@@xXsev144Xx You'd lose your house

Lol
Zakk should do a pride and glory album again. That album is magic! Zakk at his best!!
He should of done a live performance for "Chosen one"
Zakk: Playing banjo stuff on guitar
*John 5 has entered the chat*
Never knew he could hybrid pick so well!

I thought he was going to play some Paco De Lucia.
I thought he was going to play some Estas Tonne
I doubt it
He wishes.
Well, you thought wrong! LOL!
I thought he was going to play Lamento Boliviano
So motivating. Makes me want to go pick up my guitar right now and it's midnight 30.

Btw I love Zakk Wylde. Don’t get me wrong, he is awesome
Incredible killer tone finger 🤟 he is Pentatonic Master 🔥
Sounds like a banjo
"chicken" picking if I remember right it's hybrid picking
Chicken pickin.
Welcome to the new nylon banjo. Everyone must have one.
Yeah, he's got that hybrid picking technique down!
😂

I agree, zack barely uses his pinky. He is good. But has only written a couple songs that compete with ZZ top.
Sounds great on the acoustic too
He actually can play all the other scales but he wanted to have his own style

Keep practicing dude. You’ll get it one day

They are true idiots. Zakk can play anything and better than most. I’ve seen it, I’ve been to his classical guitar recitals prior to Ozzy and I’ve watch him for hours.
They are probably crying because they spent too much money at music college learning theory but don't have the courage to write a single song.
Obviously that took a lot of talent but no one can honestly say they enjoyed listening to that
Who in the world would give this a thumbs down? That was amazing.
Amazing guitarist but should be labeled playing a nylon string guitar bc that's not classical guitar playing.
Thank you.
Paddle Faster, I hear Zakk Wylde !!!
He is playing it like an electric Guitar
Insane hybrid picking
Let's hear some Bach ;)
you mean guy from SkidRow?
Yes!! He is a guitar legend
Play me classical guitar, without playing me classical guitar.
very cool playing
Make me miss Randy and Jake E Lee that much more

The guitar is the only thing classical in this video, lol.
Wow... crazy skill
How can you disrespect a classical guitar like that?
He's playing it correctly with how he finger picks it, it's Country style.
Master of Pentatonic Power.
I really thought he was about to play a nice melody. It feels like a crime what he did on that classic guitar IN MY OPINION
That’s exactly how I feel.
Hahaha
Wow No Whammy bar to beat the shit out of a song. now that's AMAZING
It's all fun n games until someone can't flamenco lol
Yeah he definitely can't play real flamenco
Zakk is the guitar guy's guitar guy
At least on a Classical, every other note isn't a pinch

This boy good, he could have a future in music!
Man my pentatonic doesnt sound like this
I was looking at his right hand! Big secret dude! Made that electric! Several exercises in their too
Does he know how to play slow?
or anything else?

listen to "the day that heaven had gone away"
His attack makes it sound like a banjo
Guitar: wow I need a cigarette after that.
Cliche comment
Outstanding. My kid plays Marty Friedman leads. We do Megadeth covers. I like how Zack breaks up the scale. Great dexterity.
Classical guitar....while drinking Mountain Dew ..
This banjo sounds good
From touring with Ozzy and BLS to a "hey look what I can do" dime a dozen TH-cam player 😂
Excellent
From doing nothing here to doing nothing there, a comment from ‘a dime a dozen’ TH-cam commentor.
Very nice! Noticed he's using his fingers and the pick. This is a skill I should probably learn.
It's called hybrid picking, hopefully that makes finding it a little easier
i love the guy but he really does play the same stuff
pentatonic
Dude made it sound like a banjo
So Zakk Wylde can play chickin pickin too?? 😲

Thanks for the lesson Zach. Jimmy Page would be proud of that scale
technically that's not classical guitar technique, classical guitar technique uses a lot of arpeggios and bass
Damn that run he does at 31 seconds is awesome
Here is the deal, fast don’t mean good! There ain’t a lick of style in this . Is he great? Hell yes he is great but at what?
Busting out a pentatonic, that's fire 🔥
A classical guitar sounds like a banjo when played by untrained hands
I'd love him to do this all the time. Not a fan of his electric playing a lot of the time, but this is killer. You can't hide skill with an acoustic.
