[Tesla_Energy]

this is just about as epic a guitar-lesson-video as i've ever seen:

watch the whole thing thru

[Tesla_Energy]

and try sharpening your picks to a more "V" shape, rather than a "U"- shape.

you will start SCREAMING harmonics, whether you like it or not. WOW!!!

EDIT: Nikola Tesla BOTTOM LEFT CORNER

[DGW]

Pure Class....Love his pitch harmonics..

Yeah, I love that clip! :beer

[dazco]

Hmmmm....seems like his beard is long enough to dampen the strings unintentionally.:huh

[Jim S]

He makes the simplest of riffs sounds so full and alive.

Hmmmm....seems like his beard is long enough to dampen the strings unintentionally.:huh

that's how he gets his tertiary harmonics

[theatomicjeff]

Love it.

[Jef Bardsley]

Aww, he can't really play the blues - with those sunglasses and that beard, you can't see his guitar face!!


(note how he pulls his thumb off the neck, BB King style, when making vibrato)

[todd richman]

Huge tone!!

[MatZen]

Very cool! Thanks for the link!

[coot tone]

Very cool. I had a Billy Bo for a while, and while I couldn't get along with the shape, those TV Jones Power 'Trons sounded better than about ANY pickups I've ever heard.

[EdMan57]

It looks like he's playing through one of his Tone Tubby loaded Crate V50 2-12 tube combos.I had one,and it was indeed a very nice sounding amp.

I still think the first couple ZZ albums have some of the greatest gtr tones of all time.
In the 80s He started using to many effects, especially chorus.
But then again, who did'nt in the 80s!(The decade of chorus)

Cool! What's the from? Is that from a lesson video/DVD? Something produced for one of the guitar mags?

This was from a Guitar World issue a few years ago. Some great licks in there.
