"wow i learned so much from watching the idiot wank around for 10 minutes..."

:lol: :lol: :lol:
 
Wow, I forgot he actually played guitar. Not much of an "instructional video though".
 
Yeah but how often do we see metal guys play like that with a clean tone? Not very.

I doubt to many here can play this fast this cleanly without a lot of gain.

I can easily play that fast, and pretty damn close to that clean on quite a bit of that stuff. Could I do stuff that sounds as awesome as Zakk's? Uh, HELL NO, but I can play :D Although I couldn't do those bluesy-chord type stuff fast like that, probably not even close to that speed or as clean. I suck ass with chords that are more than 3 strings :lol:

I miss when he played acoustic stuff. I LOVE his acoustic music sooooooooooo much.

Zakk really loves playing around frets 5 and 7, doesn't he?

He's still boring as fuck IMO, with distortion or without. Different strokes though.

His solos are pretty boring. Not quite Malmsteen boring, but not too far away from that. His rhythms are fucking SWEET though. Simple as hell, but just so catchy and heavy.

Some of his stuff bores me to but when he gets it right he's the shit!
 
Wow, kinda cool. I've got more respect for his playing after watching those vids. It seems like he's got a lot more going on than just the metal stuff. I'm not really a big fan of Ozzy or the BLS stuff, but I like the playing I heard him do in this thread.

Everything you said is exactly the way I feel as well.
 
IMO Zakk was his best around the time of No Rest For The Wicked and No More Tears. He used to pull off pentatonic speed licks at lightning speed, waay faster than he ever does now. And he was way more creative too!
 
i like zakks playing, i can admit i cant play anywhere near as fast. everybody likes to talk shit about zakk these days.

Agreed and Ill throw in Pride and Glory as well..

With the Right Clean, I can blaze as fast and clean as I can on a good dirty lead.... Its the in between, broken up stuff that I find difficult...

I like Zakk, theres no denying that the guy is an amazing player, he just isnt really showing what he can do anymore IMO...

I agree, before his change the guy could rip and No More Tears is a monster solo for sure.
 
I guess I don't get the beer thing with Zakk. Its even in his amp adds in magazines. You never see him with a beer. I got nothing against Zakk but it seems odd to show him drinking from the beer before starting an instruction video :?
 
cool shit man. i have my opinions on zakk (good and bad) but the plain fact is- this man can play guitar.

I think Zakk has gotten lazy nowadays with creativity and coming up with new and fresh ideas. Back when he first hit the scene with Ozzy in 87, he had to play his ass off just to be accepted by most Ozzy fans and guitar fans in general.. almost purely for the fact that Ozzy's previous guitarists were so highly respected...

But because hes been accepted as a monster player for so long now, i think maybe he feels he doesnt need to go over the top and play his ass off just to get the respect from everyone?
