How to Improvise Guitar Solos : Improv Heavy Metal Guitar Soloing Tips

[Bless1995]

This is 70's 80's style metal playing so no its not a false title it's just missing the statement saying it is 70's and 80's style metal.

[MikeParrottaVlogs]

This really isn't bad. It's older metal.

[rakista1979]

old skul metal sabbath purple..

[master5string1]

i could under stand with more distortion but still this is like 70s and 80s style so its not a false tittle

[DERRRREEERR]

is this metal....

metal is when you play sweep picking,dive bombs and killer licks

not a pentatonic false harmonic shit

[kidder83]

@DERRRREEERR That's new metal, old metal usually has some of the best solos... but when it all boils down, the guy in the video isn't too good... haha

[nunoribeiro1234lol]

So is it heavy metal? should go to smoke drugs

[palafunk]

jajajajaaa is not metal...it's like angry blues..jajaja

[mabivids12]

Is this a joke video?

[zeppelin1996]

Those harmonics were pitiful.

[Grunge00125]

@zeppelin1996 He is playing a telecaster through a very low distortion....didn't expect them to sound great....although I feel like he only put the harmonics in to make it more "metal." This sound like some kind of faster classic rock lick or something...the fuck....

[qpNinjaCookieqp]

Are you kidding me? That's how I play metal when i'm super stoned.

[funny4life65]

those were pathetic harmonics, thats not metal, and thats elevator music, i want my 57sec back

[dscience8]

Um... Why is he playing "heavy metal" on a Telecaster? Ok first off, It's not Metal. It's blues or blues rock. Second, play a dang ESP or BC Rich or any of the big metal guitar manufacturers! Geesh!

[cachorrosmortos]

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK­KKKK

[skaterfan900]

It's better than all this new shit like Pantera,and slipknot,basically stuff that don't know what melody is and don't have a tune that are a disgrace to metal.

[derp3n3trat0r]

@skaterfan900 man dimebag is not considered one of the best guitar players ever for having no melody listen to floods or hollow or cemetery gates before spewing out shit on things you clearly dont know about

[Grunge00125]

@derp3n3trat0r Honestly Dimebag wasn't that great...as far as "popular" guitar players he's one of the best but....listen to anything that isn't radio heavy and you can see much better. He has his moments but there's a whole host of musicians both popular and underground who are loads better and get barely a tenth of the credit that he does.

[tylerjess100]

wtf is  this def not metal

[RumikXxeno]

It isn't metal!!! That's Blues-Rock!

[SSS0311992]

0:46 WHAT THE FCK?!?! Man some SHITTY harmonics back there, well not only that sucks... this is supposed to be an "instructional" video not a wanna be heavy metal guitarist show off... At least the other guy from EXPERT VILLAGE who teaches how to play the "GUITAR HERO" songs makes an effort sitting down and explaining... this is lame.

[cornflakes2794]

His face at 0:10 ... kinda like a retarded hilbilly goldfish...with absolutely no idea what heavy metal is.

[sweetcatastrophes90]

This video isn't very good :( Sorry man, none of this series was any help :(

[alkleiza1995]

dude, metal on a telecaster? this is like the biggest waste of time since a long time

these aren't even tips, change this freakin name

[milesharold]

sounded like blues on crack.

[tubitooxuulo]

ok... metal on a telecaster???

The only person that can do that is Mick Thompson

[mikelab735]

@tubitooxuulo U mean Jim Root

[marko0329]

I listen heavy metal 2 years and i never hear solo like this.......;/

[Clendmike]

Not metal but still good, not well toned

[ARBKZR2219]

nada que ver man.

[CORNP00]

wow this helped alot i guess

[razaoculta1]

@Rossisabeast111 , John 5, Adrain Smith, Yngwie Malmsteen, Dave Murray, Richie Blackmore, , Jim Root, etc , they all used Fender, you are right on one thing though, it's stupid to play metal with a telecaster because of the single coil, but you could replace it with a big fat humbucker, Eddie Van Halen builded his guitar based on a strat, that's whereall the metal guitar models came from, Ibanez, ESP, Jackson, Sheckter, Charvel's models are called "Superstrats", because of fender!

[Archie4]

The video was 57 seconds long and made by ExpertVillage. What did you expect to learn?

[FlameFoxBoy]

Holy Shit!!!!!!!! My Brain is Overloaded with Tips !!!!!

[Rossisabeast111]

for one this is not metal.. -.- and who the hell plays any genre of metal on a Telecaster? or a fender in general?

[Guitarvirtuoso666]

@Rossisabeast111

the guys Iron Maiden, Yngwie, the guitarist of slipknot (saw him once with what appeared to be a completely stock telly)

still this guy sucks though;D

[Rossisabeast111]

@Guitarvirtuoso666 yeah the dude in slipknot with the white zipper mouth mask, i think his pickups are like duncans or something like that though. i completely agree, im 15 years old and i can blow this guy away.

[PedilGuitarStudios]

wtf that was retard rock, not heavy metal. even i know that and i listen to punk rock!

[SSS0311992]

WTF at 0:44??? "Fast Staccato Style Picking"??? starting with some "weird ass-sweeping-harmonic" shit? A Fart Orchestra sounds better than your playing... This is a disrespect to music itself, it doesn't sounds well and dude, try buying a new guitar or at least putting some distortion on, because Metal Uses pretty much gain, just for the record. If you are going to teach Metal READ about it before making weird ass shit like you do in this piece of crap that you call "Improvisation"...

[SSS0311992]

definitely, if you cannot play Metal, DON'T TRY TO PLAY IT!

This video shouldn't be called: "Improv Heavy Metal Guitar Soloing Tips"...

This piece of crap should be called:"How to KILL The Metal Soloing Techniques" or even better: "HOW TO KILL THE MUSIC"

[zXqUicKScOpErXz]

sorry dude, but that sound awful xD

[MrGuitarplayer184]

FAIL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thatcoolG]

bro really? honestly i can do that and i have been playing for 2 years... amonkey could do it

[dent2313]

Been watching a few of his videos. They just get worse & worse.

[tomb1272]

this is not heavy metal and it didn't help me atall.

[theSAguitarman]

I had his level of playing after like a year....

[LiquidOrgasm]

i think im in the wrong page! i was loking youporn ! :) thats not heavy metal dude!

[blackice228]

expect village is useless for EVERYTHING!...

[Wurstmann14]

okay this is more of a shitty style

[SebbeSucksBawlz]

this guy is almost worse than me LOL

[angifistie]

dude!!! this is rock &roll

or just some fast blues :P

this is not heavy metal.

[MetalClosey]

@angifistie It ain't that far off if you think about it, but he definitely goes about doing it the wrong way, and really doesn't have a good tone for doing metal.

You'd think he could at least go into the 5150 behind him or something to give people a better idea of whats going on.

Expert village is a lump of amateur shit.

[Stillafuxxinfreak]

This is no heavy metal you stupid asshole, listen to some maiden and then go practice!

[SuperJesseramirez]

your good but slow down how am i gunna learn anything

[MrKlimekbach]

i love your guitar!!

[stathispao12]

this is a fucking shit, no heavy metal tips ,this is not solo tips !!!!:@@@@@@

[alcohollica2000]

What Heavy Metal do you listen to? Hmmmmmm. You need to learn how to play metal man. Turn up the amp. Put the knobs all the way to ten. Cut some slits in the speaker. Thats Metal well back at the 70's it was. LOL. Or buy a distortion Pedal. Then palm mute that Guitar and then do some hamer ons pull offs at 100miles an hour . Then you might make Metal or just alot of noise. lol.

[METALLICA4EVER1547]

That's not freaking heavy metal that is early 80's late 70's rock dude.Get it right. So obvious

[MetellusTin]

HEAVY METAL STYLE!?? WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT

[jedisponge16]

Put some distortion on that guitar if you want it to sound like metal.

[SquidplaysBass]

How to?

[bridgfordbill]

epic

[fatboyg27]

damn that shit is so heavy im about to loose my mind

[jmanbgg]

pretty early 80's.....i guess/?? could have used a metal guitar...lol..fender..haha

[Metalhead001122]

hmm well that was a useless dissapointment now wasn't it

[monstafia]

expertvillage suck, all they do is show off and get more views by sayin there goin to teach people stuff. EXPERTVILLAGE IS BULL!

[Seph360]

That was metal?

WTF

[rtibia2]

Fucking expert village sucks.

[SkaffBear]

i guess it was heavy metal in the 70's

[Sk8ingGuitarplayer]

@SkaffBear i know right

[1unisol1]

How was that metal?...

[thebeerfest2008]

@1unisol1 put a-lot of distortion?

[morthyr]

This is more like listen to my shit guitar sound while I try to play shitty licks

[ProudSpeakerofWhale]

It's heavy metal....minus the heavy metal tone..........

[futebalmakedonia]

┌∩┐(◕_◕)┌∩┐ Fuck the new layout COPY AND PASTE IF HATE THE NEW YOUTUBE

[MrBenc1234]

[MrBenc1234]

[edgarmusic3]

somebody SHOULD learn how to do harmonics

[miguyuguyerT3X]

sped up

[R2J3M]

thats not metal that sounds like blues rock or a crappy shitty solo youre making up oh wait it is

[PersianUtopia]

thats not metal..

[123rebel456]

it could be classic heavy metal with a heavier distortion, but in this video is just like rock blues stuff, no metal at all.

[varulv234]

So fucking heavy, br00tal standard tuning!

[KyubiRyu]

Sounds More like Blues Rock to me

[quire14]

fail

[JulianTheGuitarist]

what the fuck does this have to do with metal, shit what a waste of time

[EricJoenssonMusic]

Heavy Metal?? This is to much pentatonic and blues scales. This is pretty much a rock 'n roll improvisation

[grungefreak91]

thats heavy metal? where the hell is the distortion?

[doodoosk8r]

ill never get this time back :(

[headcrab1993]

hes not that good at guitar...

[jello714]

This guy should be on fail blog.

[thebassnguitarman]

great heavy metal soloing

[hypojosh]

he fast fowarded that yo cold tell by his hands cheat

[AreYie93ae]

SHIT...It waste my time watching this.....

[maagonzalez888]

duude who cares! his guitar playing is siic!

[lilvfr400boy]

give hime credit i think he almost managed a pinched harmonic on a tele!!!

[danic360]

lokaaaaaa

[V0rteP]

this sucked bigtime!

[atre89]

Metal! In your Face! You can join my band Pete.

[wheresuritethumb]

really? even a strat mightve worked but a tele, next time use something that doesnt have a single coil pickup

[xrunepk3rzx]

Metal on a telecaster. Are you fucking kidding me?

[Teutonic1250]

it can happen if u throw enough gain in frot of one

[MrPintGlass]

@xrunepk3rzx Jim root?

[xrunepk3rzx]

Dammit, I knew someone was going to say that. He uses EMG's in his one though.

[Umaiketsu]

Jim Root...John 5...

[lb8684]

Did any of you egregiously imbecilic children even listen to the language here??? He says, "this is more like a heavy metal STYLE.." He does NOT say it is metal, he says it is metal-style. Idiots. Go play your own distortion.

[atshapi13]

It's not heavy metal style.

[atshapi13]

Hahaha wtf heavy metal??? XD

[twentydollarbill20]

lol well if u knew anything...thats not even metal style .haha thats like bluesy rock shit.(which is good too) but stfu. stupid fag. i will play my own distortion which sounds 100 times better than this shit.

[lb8684]

You fool, reread my post! If you weren't such a schlemiel, you would notice I was commenting on the language not these technicalities. Whether it is or is not "metal style" is totally irrelevant. Once again, your deficit is merely English. Go back to grammar school.

[atshapi13]

Shut up lol I learned French at School...

[rollspach]

you should go back to grammar school. 3 question marks? why. and dont tell me to because i dont care, im just pointing out that your a hypocrite

[tomybitg]

Boo!

[bustabo23]

expert village please !!!!

people there are suposed to be EXPERTS....

[mistfir3]

Where were the tips?

[guitarherorockss]

ah okey metal

[esprorro]

una mierda

[JulioHeavy1337]

hes referring to iron maiden type of heavy metal twisted sister type of metal not trash deathcore or any other shit

[MetalHead1495]

Its called Crunch distortion faggots.

[KhaozMaker94]

man the guitar barely has distorstion..i wonder how it will sound if he is improvising a death metal solo lol

[stickit2damanleosis]

this is not metal, and its definately not heavy

[twentydollarbill20]

this guy is so fucking stupid, he is saying metal, with a crunch tone, and a FENDER! the fuck man?! the fuck!?....

[lb8684]

Did any of you egregiously imbecilic children even listen to the language here??? He says, "this is more like a heavy metal STYLE.." He does NOT say it is metal, he says it is metal-style. Idiots. Go play your own distortion.

[AmericanEboy]

USE DISTORTION MAN! dont call that METAL, dont ever use clean sound for metal!! and try usin alternative picking!!

BUT UR OK... just practice!

[cristiannick20]

que feo suena esa mierda

[Yoshignacio]

si suena pesimo eso no es metal

[zombiehorde99]

that was pretty awesome,

but it wasn't metal.

liked it though.

[neverhead666]

i sorta see where this is heading but metal hasn't sounded like that since like 1735.

[varialkick180]

agreed

[HeyPeni]

LAAAAAAAAME!!!!

[dre32291]

wow... and was that even in a major key...

*facepalm for 20 minutes*

[bullethardcoreman123]

it was jazz..

[NokturnalMortom]

You're ok at guitar, but don't call it Metal, as it is FAR from Metal.

[tolarasftw]

Why ExpertVillage fails sometimes so much? O.o

[neilazeez101]

...whatthefuck...

[sungboy]

OMG THIS IS SHITTY

[maggot7897897]

get some humbuckers if u wanna do a metal lesson and drop ur tuning add some gain this tone is terrible

[burnsometrashcans]

pleeeease, never use standard telecaster for metal tone again

[greenbeanz93]

Well, technically it is metal. the tempo and scale is there but it is not a typical sounding metal.

[diceasd]

your playing good but you shoukdn't call it metal couse you could offend people

[nickothompson]

To who ever aid this is Punk... it's not ... I play punk, I listen to punk and have for 15 years... from 80's hardcore to 90's new school punk .. so the point is NO this isnt punk, oh,... and it isn't metal either.

[RixelShadowMs]

lol keep trying on that metal sound......i agree with 100roberthenry lol

[100roberthenry]

fuck off ..this fuckin country music...what the fuck is he on about????????????

mongaliod..

[tehLeecherer]

nice guitar

[mokaszin]

actually he playes quite well. its not metal but you'd consider it to be metal if he was using more distortion

[LucasChiasson31]

this sucks

[DjoopMeanen]

not really metal.

I think more of rock, or punk. idk but defenitly not heavy metal, lolz.

[nickothompson]

PUNK? um... fuck no! Dont go there... don't insult like that.

[steamkidsdad]

this is not a metal sounding lick

[Deviant2792]

Remember everyone that when THEY say "heavy metal" its like Judas priest and all that old shit. not metallica or any of this generation's new shit

[dudesofhockey]

Wow...... Metallica is the rated the best heavy metal band in history.



BTW: Judas Priest ins't heavy metal

[ChunkyCat979]

for its time, judas priest was under that genre...thats the good heavy metal..todays screamo/death metal is crap.....

[wanabejoey]

screamo and death metal are different things man. screamo is like bring me the horizon and all that, death metal is like well loads of type os bands, but i think your on bout the ones with just screaming like children of bodom or inflames or somehting. but yeh i definitely think this vid isnt metal, metal is definietely made by heavy guitars, thats why i think bring me the horizon is nt metal.

[varulv234]

''Screamo/Death Metal''? They have absolutely NOTHING to do with eachother.

[skolanbrinner]

sounded like slash nice

[ELPRESEDANTE]

hmm i don't think there was enough distortion for that solo to be considered metal... all he really did was play a blue scale with some altered notes...

[berdirt]

slipknot sucks not even metal, and marlyn manson guitrist sucks to. and this guy in the video sucks at metal to

[supersolus666]

Jim Root's guitar has humbuckers in it so it's better for metal

[blackzabbathfan]

i don't think a tele is the right metal guitar

[LamarJL]

Jim Root of slipknot always uses a telecaster

[blackzabbathfan]

yeah slipnot isn't the best band in the world

[LamarJL]

that's not the point though

[blackzabbathfan]

you kind of brought that up

[LamarJL]

You said that no one uses a telecaster in metal so i brought up slipknot, how good they are doesn't matter.

[blackzabbathfan]

you got a point there (you sound like my brother)
