This (Once Bitten riff) is a great demonstration on how playing the same riff with the fret hand further toward the nut really brightens up the tone versus higher up the fretboard on a lower string.
EVH Stretch on Ice Cream Man solo. Also Jake E Lee stretch on outro solo, Bark at the Moon. Warren D.Martini intro to Lay it Down. Just thinking about it hurts my hand. As you get older it's harder to do. ROCK ON DAVE! 🎸
I was wrong. I swore you were playing 2 minutes to Midnight. But then I listened to it and they are so similar it's almost the same thing. I'm a total beginner, but these will help, saving this video.
Andy Summers did it one way early and the other way later. Early it was A on the top string... later it was how you learned it by ear. Queensryche! Yes! As I get older, these stretches get harder and harder... need to practice... thanks for the reminder
Stev Vai in the DLR song Skyscraper, the clean harplike thing after the solo. He needed to stick his from underneath the fretboard to fret the first string with two of those stretches.
As always great lesson Dave! Have you ever watched Dave Matthews play? Every one of his tunes at some point have the crazy 'Dave' chords in there... Crazy stretchy spider chords!! So fun to play as well! But playing his tunes before a show is always a great warm up, (I use message in a bottle also) Thank you much for the lesson bud!
Cool lesson and riffs. I noticed that it helps to sit in a classical position or if playing standing having a short strap, not Hatfield style. I also noticed that the pressure for fingertips come from the forearm, not the knuckles. Good stuff, thanks.
I have the hardest time with Born To Be Wild. I’ve been thinking my shuffles that way instead of going with first and third. I kid you not, I was just randomly playing the Ian Hunter version of Once Bitten. 😲 How crazy is that? Great lesson!
Yes! This was great! Watch the old 80's concert with Ozzy and Jak E. LEE. Jake's guitar solo has a slow picking part where he place hi thumb on the front of the fret board then stretches his other finger further down the fretboard, kinda like using the thumb as a capo so to speak. It's awesome. Great video!
We all learned Message in the bottle that stretchy way but, I saw Sting perform it live and he wasnt using the stretchy way of playing it, but it sounded perfect. Its the Policemans secret ball thing from the stone age. had it on VHS tape.
Thanks for the explanations and exercises. So far whan practising boogie rythm the main problem for me is some ache in the wrist. I'll try build some stamina with your exercises.
Hi Daveo,any chance of a lesson for Chris Hayes(Huey Lewis)would be much appreciated from across the pond in Liverpool England,im hooked by the way driving the family crzy watching your Lessons,must say have learnt so much thanks Mate
I can remember having the surfing with the alien tab book and thinking there was a typo . My fingers just wouldn’t stretch far enough. Fast forward 20 years and some help form Dr Brewster and I can just about blag it. Typical of Late Night Lessons to reach the parts other beers do not reach . I do know that Bernie Torme could have done it with aplomb though.🇬🇧🤩👍
Jake E. Lee, Rock & Roll Rebel, was an insane one!
Bark at the Moon was another one.
Whenever I think of stretchy chords, the intro to “Lay It Down” by Ratt immediately comes to mind.
5 fret stretch in 5th position...yikes, what a pinky workout!
Lots of Ratt tunes! Morning after has some in it too.

Awesomeness! Warren dimartini was a stretch master.
Ron jarzombek has great chords specially in spastic ink
Aww yeah! Love me some Watchtower big fan of Helstar, too. Texas tech metal was the best.

Joe S. Surfing is a monster record. I love it!

David I told my wife if I ever meet you I'll be furious you didn't recognize me. I see you so much. Lol. Love your channel. Thank you.
No one stretched like Holdsworth. It hurt just to watch him.

Great examples. I have been working on stretches like this the whole time i have been playing. The slow advice is the best.
This was so helpful. Thank-you, David!!
Great lesson, David! Thanks!

Very important advice from 18:04 about taking it slowly!

Dave Mustaine has a solo on a song from one of their 2000's albums were he uses the same technique. He does something absurd like a 15 fret span
Another great lesson! You forgot Warren Demartini?
Great Stretching Lesson!

yep - I remember that: he played solo w/a black strat . IT WAS A GREAT TIME TO BE ALIVE !! - to quote DIAMOND DAVID LEE ROTH
uh oh. apparently, I remembered wrong. he's doing some stretching to get that third note with the pinky. oops!
Great lesson as always. Love the strat, it’s got a great vibe with the subtle patina. Keep up the great work.

Would like to see vids on Paul Barrere Kenny Wayne Shepherd Martin Barre if you haven't done them.
Name that tune? "Lightning Strikes Again" by Dokken!

Surprised Jake didn’t get a mention.
Lol I thought this was going to be about the band Stretch we all know from their one hit they made:''Why did you do it''.
Try Dream Theater's Stream of consciousness. GLHF
👍
Lightning strikes again
@ 8:43 - reminds me alot of Scorpions : 'Loving You Sunday Morning' , the intro gtr 1

I hate stretch exercises. It is much easier to play sus chords by downtuning the E string to D.
