It makes you realize just how influential Keith Richards really is. I know the Stones are hugely popular, but I didn’t realize how many of their songs are must-learn songs for guitarists. There are two other keys to my channel taking off: Lay Lady Lay and the Stones songs.
So I think they seek out other ways to learn songs, from people who don’t rely on tabs. I’m not a big fan of tabs - I don’t have the patience to read them and they’re usually pretty awful. And once they learn those tab versions, they realize they don’t sound anything like the real songs. When you’re figuring things out for yourself, you tend to listen to the music more intently.Īny idea how you got to 4,700 subscribers?įor starters, I think a lot of players who want to learn new songs probably start with online tablature sites. I also think some of it comes from learning by ear rather than being taught. You have to do a lot of listening to a lot of different kinds of music to get familiar with how songs are generally structured. Yes, I think that’s mostly from experience - experience not only playing but also listening to music. You seem to have a certain authenticity to your playing, a good natural sense of timing, especially with your rhythm and guitar riffs. And of course, being self-taught, I don’t really have any technique to speak of, so I couldn’t play anything like Eric Johnson even if I wanted to. I’d rather listen to Jimmy Page and his about-to-fly-off-the-rails approach than listen to a technician like Eric Johnson. Rock guitar isn’t supposed to be scientific. I get all kinds of nasty e-mails from people pointing out my mistakes, but they don’t really get the point. If they’re not completely awful, I’ll leave them in. I kind of take a “life’s too short” approach to mistakes. The interest certainly surprised me, especially because I see so many guitarists on YouTube that are far better than I am.Įven beginner-level players would agree that I’m not the most precise guitarist, and there are loads of mistakes in my videos. I get requests for Squeeze Box all the time, but there’s no way I’ll ever post that crap.ĭoes the number of subscribers surprise/overwhelm you? I try to post as many of the requested songs as I can, although there are some requests I just can’t accommodate.
Then people started asking for more videos, and before long, I had a considerable list of requests. I posted those first few videos and I was surprised that a bunch of people watched them.

To be honest, I posted my first videos as demos for my brother, who wanted to see how to play a couple of guitar solos and a few other things. I didn’t start the channel with some grand desire to teach the world to play songs the way I play them.
How long have you been posting videos on YouTube? I urge all of you to check out his channel. He is a great source of learning material and as I learned during the interview process, a very interesting guy. He was kind enough to to take the time to answer some questions for me and become the first in what I hope will be a long line of interviewees. His channel, at last count has 359,412 channel views, 3,632,223 upload views and 4,788 subscribers. Privettricker is a YouTube user who posts videos of himself playing classic rock songs.
