I saw him with Whitesnake during the “purple” here in Michigan . AMAZING! I loved that purple reflective guitar so I wrote to him the next day and asked him how it was made, and wrote right back and said it was extremely heavy because the guy who made it, actually glued pieces of glass on the surface of the body to make it reflective. He said he doesn’t play that guitar very long during the show because of the weight. Cool!
The fact that ripped that really heavy pentatonic lick just like Joel cements your legendary status as an equal to these guys that the lessons are based around. Nice playing, Dave!!
All my years of playing, you're the best teacher I've had, and I have learned the most from you. You don't waste time, and get right to what is important. Thank you SIR!
I watch this video David and your chops are nothing short of amazing as well. Although much of it is above my abilities, I will learn to play some of it. Love all you do on your channel. ✌🏼
I remember Joel playing in cover bands in the South Chicago suburbs back in the late 80s. He was amazing even back then, had that six finger tapping technique mastered before anyone else I knew. I used to be blown away watching him play, glad to see that he made it. He paid his dues for certain.
Thank you sooo much David! I‘ve been a fan of Joel for a few months now and he is maybe my personal favorite and my guitar hero. He is not also a monster of a player, he is a very nice guy too. As far as the bonus lick goes, i can imagine, that he picks the first string an then goes into hybrid picking with the rest of the strings. On the high e string he does hammer ons and pull offs i think. So basicly just what you did with the sweeppicking converted into that hybrid picking. When you want to get more into his hybrid picking ideas, you can check out his solo from a little song called “slither“ where he explains afterwards, how he was playing his ideas and his aproach for the solo.
Thanks, David! I've heard Joel's name over the years, but I'm not super familiar with his playing! Thanks for this Lesson! I brought my fingers (as you suggested), but I don't think they'll do me much good!
Lol! Same here with the fingers comment. Joel is a badass guitarist/instructor. I found his instructional dvd on Amazon for under $10 and damn is it a great little dvd of about 2 hours worth of lessons. Dave nails some of his stuff with this awesome lesson.
@@guitarzan2201 Damn! I saw/heard that Buddy Hargrove Jazz audio/video with Danny Gatton you put in a Jazz playlist! Amazing! I hope you find more awesome stuff to add to that playlist (60s Jazz and Beyond... 70s Fusion)!
Got to this one a bit late, but just wanted to say thanks for covering some of Joel's stuff.... Joel Hoekstra and Guthrie Govan are easily my two favorite players in post 2000 era guitar. I did get to catch Joel live on one of the TSO tours. The guy is just frightening live. Especially the five and six finger tapped stuff and hybrid picking. His stuff is always fun to try and get under the fingers.
David, I had to come back to this because I really wanted to learn these licks. The guitar tech here in Phoenix actually has Joel's picture on their wall showing him playing the guitar they made him. I saw him with Trans-Siberian Orchestra years ago. Killer show. I'm curious why this was tuned down a whole step. Just wondering. Thanks!
Love the lesson! Joel Hoekstra is amazing. I like your interpretation of the bonus lick. I wondered: Do you do the hammer ons from nowhere because you like the sound more or do you just feel uncomfortable with sweeping upwards?
I saw him in a shred collab and he blew all of the young guys out of the park.
Monster player indeed…and so is David Brewster👍
Best Damn Channel Out There🤘
Saw Rock of Ages on Broadway - he was in the live band. He was savage !!

Joel Hoekstra is the man! Joel Hoekstra 13’s two albums are both amazing
Hes done some lessons on YT and seems very down to earth and invebtive ,has his own ways ,definetly one to look for.
He does some amazing 3 note pentatonic riffs which I love! Thanks 🍺’ski.
Consider my face melted... Nice choice of licks Dave. Thank you again.

Have been waiting on this one!!!

Not only is Joel a Monster player but he's a great teacher and guy as well always wish him the greatest success thanks David 👍
Joel is such a nice guy too...
Thanks so much as always David!
Would love to see a Richie Sambora vid.. criminally underrated . Love the vids!
That’s crazy he hasn’t done one
Another great lesson Dave!! I always seem to not only learn some cool licks, but a couple great music theory nuggets as well. THANKS! 🎸
Thanks for that great discovery.
Brilliant. Great episode Dave. Definitely giving these a go. Thank You so much

absolutely awesome lesson David Thank You!!
awsome video love Joel thanks for the knowledge
Joel was one of Brett Garsed's students. Could explain the hybrid lick (very Brett like)
He also played live with Brett and TJ Helmerich

4:39 That bend and vibrato sounded noice.
Love Joel’s playing, you did a gre@t job.
nice Liquid Tension Experiment reference haha. never hear that name anymore
Joel is a beast

Ho lee cao, that ascending pentatonic lick. I need to upgrade my hands.
Everyone should check out Joel's acoustic warm up before Cher's concert. It's there on TH-cam, and it's nuts.
Awesome lesson, as all your other lessons on your channel! I subscribed!
if you're having a little bit of trouble getting this , maybe i''l grasp one tiny bit of it , , thanks for another dynamite lesson 💥
Great licks and you totally nailed it. Man this LP is soooo beautiful! What is your bridge pickup?
Joel's a monster player for sure.
Any suggestions on how to play lick #3 when you have average to short finger length?
First lick sounds like lady red light by great white
Bro, should should be playing in one of these 80's/90's bands!
Was hoping you'd go over the very beginning of his solo - the two-handed tapping part. Maybe another vid to go over that part?

Joel is a virtuoso indeed the guy knows a ton much like you David
Do you get your tone from that blue thing in the rack? Great video as always!
I can't thank you enough, ( humbled to admit, I just found out whom you is"
Namaste
can you do one on John Petrucci again?
Damn Dave can shred ez
Agreed! I wish he'd at least make it look hard!
C'mon Dave, give me a break - how about some Gary Richrath, please? Great job on Joel!
He’s also a big Rik Emmett fan.
I'm not into Joel but that was the best!
Those look like some shiny new strings. I’m expecting some great tone out of you again.
where can I order a longer finger upgrade? (Lick n3 ouch)
Of course, I know who Joel is. He's my personal guitar teacher.
First like reminds me of Joe Satrianis Crushing Day
🎵 r0ck0n mR. Late Night lesson dude 🎵
