I'm sorry, it's just that I've never heard so much emotion out of a single solo.
It's like, David Gilmour, Pink Floyd has nothing on this guy.
Like, who would have known?
A rapper?
Okay, today I'm going to teach you how to play guitar like Lil Wayne.
And I guess to go with the whole rap atmosphere, maybe I should have my own rap name for the day.
Lil Wayne, Lil Twist, Lil
How about I'll be known as Relatively Large Steve?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Now I'm going to play the solo to Lollipop the way Lil Wayne plays it, but using my technique.
Okay.
[Eb] [D]
[F] [Gm]
[D] [Gb]
[Gm] Woo!
[N] Oh!
Emotion.
Okay, now I'm going to teach you the Lil Wayne technique on guitar.
It's absolutely ingenious.
Okay, while most people who play guitar keep their thumb behind the neck like this and
their fingers at a slight angle to the fretboard.
That's the way I play, you know?
With the Lil Wayne technique, you're going to get rid of that thumb.
Yeah, just get rid of it.
Thumbs are for pussies.
And your fingers are going to be at a 90 degree angle with the neck like this.
Absolutely ingenious.
It gives you [Bm] less control over your fingers this way, [N] and it's really hard to bend accurately.
It's absolutely ingenious.
I don't know [Abm] why I never thought about it before.
[N] Okay, now picks?
Gotta go.
Picks are for losers.
And when you have a superior finger picking technique like Lil Wayne, who needs a pick anyways?
Okay, so the way Lil Wayne holds his guitar, this is very important.
Most people, guitarists hold it the way I'm holding it right now.
You know, [B] woo-hoo!
But Lil Wayne?
[Gm] 90 degree angle with your body.
It's absolutely ingenious.
[B] It makes it so the fretboard is really inaccessible, [N] which is absolutely ingenious.
Because every good guitarist knows control of the fretboard makes no difference.
You don't need it.
You don't need [B] it.
Also, note that for the Lil Wayne technique, you have no regard for on-time playing, and
no regard for consistent picking, and no regard for consistent [N] bends.
So it's absolutely ingenious.
I don't know why I never thought about it before.
Alright, so now I'm gonna play the lollipop solo for you, the Lil Wayne way, with the
Lil Wayne technique.
[Ebm] [D] [Fm]
[Gm] [D]
[N] That's right.
And after you've nailed a solo, you hold your guitar like this.

I own that solo.
Suck it!
