Lovely and Loyal Patron Aaron sent me a message requesting this pre-patreon Tab, but why just share with one person when i can make lot of folks happy with this legendary (and frequently mis-played) riff?!?! Made a fresh TAB using my Remarkable just for you all, be sure to snag that and follow along.
And i already know somebody out there wants me to transcribe this solo, hahaha.... i think thats just impossible, honestly, its SO random and all over the place! I've played MANY shows alon...

PLUS Vito Bratta soloing secrets! Ever wondered why Vito's solos are SO melodic and memorable?! After we break down the "Tell Me" solo note by note, you're gonna learn why!
Vito is a MASTER of chord tone targeting in his soloing. Like many of the greats, i think his mind considers the CHORD he's playing over first, and the KEY he's playing in second. I'm gonna show you a couple of the ways his solos tick!
And like i said, this lesson is all thanks to you all! I love getting your s...

Hey y'all!
Ok, so here's the deal... Longtime viewers know i used the Kemper Profiler for years, then about two years ago i started using the Fractal Axe FX 3. Both really lovely pieces of gear. BUT.... here recently, the USB out on my Axe FX was damaged, and so i've gotta mail it out to get it repaired! So in the meantime, i'll be using the Kemper again for the first time in years!!!
I'm thinking i wanna make a video about it. I literally haven't even turned the Kemper ON s...

Okay so the Best Riffs of 1985 video has been a hit so far! So happy y’all have enjoyed it. I started with 1984 last year, so 1985 was the next logical choice… but what do I do next? Jump ahead to the 90’s? Skip back to the 70’s? Or continue chronologically to 1986???? I value your opinions more than anyone else’s, so please let me know in the comments what you’d like to s...

Hey everybody!!!! Reporting to you from my 37th birthday, where I will be spending the day doing my favorite thing: playing guitar!!! I just built a track for Tell Me by White Lion after your all’s huge response to my post about it yesterday. This solo is a BLAST to play!

Hey y’all!
Okay, you all are the ones who watch and support my channel the most, so I’m gonna trust you all here! Just like 20 minutes ago, I read a couple comments from y’all saying I should do the “Tell Me” solo from White Lion as a lesson. Well, I listened to it and loved it right away, so I already learned it hahaha…. It’s fun, and definitely more approachable than Wait or Little Fighter.
But I HAVE been doing the 80’s stuff a lot lately… RATT last week, Cr...

Hey guys!!!! Here's another pre-Patreon classic WW to take you through one of my favorite solos EVER, "Wait" by White Lion!

Lemme know any other TABs for old lessons you all want and i'll get them up here, too.

Hey everyone!!
I've been digging though these big 80's tunes lately in anticipation of the return of my hair metal tribute band, and i thought i would share with you all 4 of the Crue tunes you can play without using their usual D standard tuning!

Some of you guys spotted the new PRS Archon 50 in the background of my newest videos! But what you don’t know is that you’ve been hearing it (and complimenting it) for several months now. Basically any clip/video where I haven’t mentioned what amp I’m using, it’s been this guy right here. Seriously incredible amp, both channels are beautiful and amazingly usable.

Thanks y'all! Lets make this video awesome!!!!
Edit: I can’t remove them since the poll is already in motion, but the Bad Company riffs are DISQUALIFIED!!! Dang Wikipedia had their release date as 1985, which I thought seemed weird, but there you go. Sorry! If you voted for them, add a vote to something else if you can.

This is our new rescue pup that we just picked up the other day. His mom was a Pomeranian, and his dad was described as a “little brown dog”... obviously the first thing that comes to mind with those markings is like an Aussie Shepard or something, but there’s also dachshunds and stuff that have that pattern, so who knows? 3 months old, a little under 7 pounds, so he’s hopefully not getting too big.
