Advanced Fast Hand Finger Wizard Master Class

[TheDinosdinaras]

when the vid started my mom thought i was watching porn xD

[blademastr91]

12 people are mentally ill

[tenhundredkills]

What's up with the Zippo click after every example slide?

[stitchlips47]

i wanna learn that little classical intro they do!

[TinMan1326]

whats the main scale alexi uses

[sh4dowr3d]

whats that little piece they play at the start of 1:00

[therealozzy1981]

@sh4dowr3d yngwie malmsteen - ill see the light tonight

[onraxx]

Their hands are like freaking spiders running over the guitar's neck!

[Pythonn19]

Am I the only one who thinks that they remind me of Skwisgaar and Toki?

[aceofspades2233]

@Pythonn19 thats where they got skwisgaar from lol. and murderface they got from black sabaths bassist im pretty sure.

[hsmetalhead]

@Pythonn19 hahahaha!!!exactly!!!!hahahaha­!!!

[sk8dude88888888]

it looks like this was made back when he still played jackson guitars

[jrockzmyv382]

from 0:40 - 0:50 his facial expressions remind me of Bobcat Goldthwait.

[shredderofdarkness]

I worship Alexi Laiho.

[CuzWereSpecial]

Thts as crapy as video quality gets.

[WalterUllbricht]

*lol* bad yngwie covers

[pencilpl0x]

wow this video is crap quality.

[willister54]

that was insane!!

[dino19788]

anybody got tabs for this?

[Rationalgaz]

Don't you just love all the conversations on youtube? :) Listen and watch to the vid instead... God...

[bpkiller]

"Fast and Slaw" lolz

[dfftw]

why do you people fucking argue?who gives a fuck if they are mainstream or not,they certainly are famous-but there is a good reason for that-THEY FUCKING RULE!

[dieandgoaway]

whats FTR?

[KingofDeath]

Follow the Reaper (bodom album)

[qwerty63416341]

well..... Is it against the law to like all of COB's albums? cos that's how it seems.

\m/

[Vaedh]

mainstream how? its incredible music.  blooddrunk is even better.

[Imst92]

i think "are you dead yet" is the best...:D

[Agnes135]

I think Are you Dead Yet, was their worst album, to be honest.

It's so fucking mainstream.

[wannabeserpento99]

famous isnt mainstream dumbass. as long as its not on voice or kiss fm its good

[Agnes135]

@wannabeserpento99

Famous IS mainstream

They tried to sell to the masses in America, thus not sounding like their old classic style.

[wannabeserpento99]

it isnt duude,, oh ur the guy i was arguing a month ago with. famous isnt mainstream duude. OF course u try to get famous and get money.

[Agnes135]

@wannabeserpento99

Ok what is mainstream then big lad?

As far as i can see, CoB video was on MTV!

[wannabeserpento99]

well ppl that doesnt do anything for their music. a producer just grab them and made their shitty song number 1. MTV is music television? so isnt cob music. just because lady gagas is on the same program doesnt make them mainstream.

[Agnes135]

Jesus Christ, you just can't get it into your stupid little head.

Metal isn't ment to be publicized on TV.

Of course there is a reason they would be on TV, they have went Mainstream

Do you see Bands like Behemoth, Kalmah, Amon Amarth, Wintersun, Ensiferum. On MTV?

NO! i didn't think so.

I'v had enough arguing with you.

your so retarded and just can't fit this information in your head

[wannabeserpento99]

BECAUSE theyr death metal. they would be on mtv if they hadnt that gay shit singing. yea soad is good bfmv is ok. and again go cry and whine some elsewhere.

[PurpleStain6]

@wannabeserpento99

I agree with you completely!

[Agnes135]

And i see on your Favourites your like.

SOAD, BFMV.

Hahaha

This convo is definitely over.

[wannabeserpento99]

and how isnt metal suppose to be on tv fucking dumbass???? HAHA who said that. plz dont make urself more retarded than u are. and behemoth isnt on tv because there isnt enough ppl who want to hear that shit

[ShadowGryphon]

a vid on MTV does not equal mainstream.

Slayer had vids on MTV and -they- certainly aren't mainsteam.

Same for CoF, Dimu Borgir and any other bands out there.

The yardstick for mainstream measurment would be what gets played on the radio and in the top 40 noise.

[TimothyScandella]

I don't think it's mainstream, it's just that they changed a lot, and yes it can sound more commercial,but I don't think that they thought about that when they were writing the songs,it's just a natural evolution that they needed, it's a pity,because theyre first 3 cd's especially Hatebreader and FTR are something like the best metal cd's I've ever heard (obviously it's my opinion...),but there are lots of people that like theyre new stile

[squirttilithurts]

My fav is ARE YOU DEAD YET... older albums just don't do it for me the same way

[FILTHofUK666]

i agree, nothing comes close to the genius of Something Wild ; ]

Hatebreeder's awesome too

[TonyCOBHC666]

do they have tabs for this anywhere? shits nice as hell

[SmoothCriminal342]

He'd makes a better door than a window, but he has guitar smarts.

[33PdR33]

AFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF - they didn't make this. It's an exercise for speed, qhen i was starting to learn guitar my teacher show me that (srry bout the bad english i'm from brazil)

[Lord6of9Uk]

first 2 Bodom albums were swveet =)

nice Vivaldi cover!!!

[bonfirejovi]

uh follow the reaper? their 3rd album was given to us by the metal gods themselves.

[Lord6of9Uk]

fuck follow the reaper! everyone thinks thats the best and its annoying me. Something Wild and Hatebreeder pones follow the reaper anyday.

the older the Bodom music... the better

[bonfirejovi]

"fuck follow the reaper! everyone thinks thats the best"

thats because it is. the guitar work is BY FAR the best, especially kissing the shadows (which also happens to be their best song EVER)

[MaYHeM1987666]

Something Wild was delivered to us by the MetalGods themselves =P

Follow the reaper is an album liked by noobs!

think outside the box..

[bonfirejovi]

hahahahahahaha you called me "noob". what are you, like 6? liking an album just to be different isnt thinking outside the box. FTR is considered the best by many because it is the best. it is the most complex, and the riffs and melodies are above anything else they have done.

[Lord6of9Uk]

the beauty and complexity between guitars and keys on SomethingWild and Hatebreeder just gives you an ear-orgasm =P

my fav CoB song is 'In the Shadows' \m/ \m/

..don't get me wrong, Kissing the Shadows and Northen Comfort are reeally good songs! but FollowTheReaper is no match for the 1st two albums.

[bonfirejovi]

@Lord6of9Uk i respectfully disagree. songs like children of decadence, everytime i die, follow the reaper, bodom after midnight, kissing the shadows and northern comfort cannot be matched. but i respect you opinion unlike that mayhem asshole who is just trying to shove his opinion down other people's throats.

[FieryGuitarDooD]

@Lord6of9Uk every CoB album is beastly

[musicofthedeity]

@Lord6of9Uk  hey guys please help we need more views to win a competition

youtube.com/watch?v=S-woamJmt_­0

[MaYHeM1987666]

Who said i was liking an album to be different!? wtf man, you can't tell me what i like and what im thinking!

i like SomethinWild because its awesome and far more superior to Follow the Reaper... not because i want to be different.

go on a YouTube video where theres a song from something wild, hatebreeder or even hatecrew deathroll.. then lets see you flippin your mouth off about' follow the shit reaper'!!!

[MaYHeM1987666]

tbh i dont think you've even heard SomethingWild properly.. your just getting off over FollowtheReaper too much! and if you have and you still dont like it. then i feel sorry for you.

and fyi, ALOT of people Love the first album, get your facts straight m8

[bonfirejovi]

lol i know why you are pretending to be civil and sending me juvinial personal messages.

Anyway FTR is far more diverse, complicated and melodic and compared to their previous efforts. I feel sorry that you can't appreciate the real musicianship in FTR, you are obviously musically retared. even alexi says that he doesnt like something wild LOL.

Oh and it is fact that most bodom fans consider FTR (followed by hatebreeder) to be their best effort, i think you need to get your facts straight.

[MaYHeM1987666]

FTR Sucks.

the best Bodom albums are;

1. Something Wild (how can i be musically retarded for liking this beauty of an album!)

2. Hatebreeder (swveet)

3.Hatecrew Deathroll

4.Follow the Reaper

5. Are you dead yet?

6. Bloodrunk

deal with it!

[bonfirejovi]

thanks for your shit OPINION, i dont really care what you think. its obvious you dont play guitar or appreciate more complex music because FTR kicks something wild in the ass. lol even alexi disagrees with you. dude please stop responding, i dont really care about you OPINION. FTR is more melodic and complex and therefore better. deal with it.

[MaYHeM1987666]

Fuck YOU!!!

Alexi plays shit music now with Bloodrunk.. of course he's not going to like something as great as SomethingWild.

i dont want to hear YOUR opinion anymore cuz your so diluded and u can stick FTR up ur ass becuase Something Wild is better than FollowTheReaper!!!

[VikingWarriorof69]

i don't agree with MaYHeM1987666's aproach to his opinion, but i do agree that Something Wild is amaazing, whereas Follow the Reaper is not bad. the Inearthed demo was a sign of their very early rise of musical diversity and talent which lead to their 2 first albums being made under the name of Children of Bodom.

[chrisgo96]

alexi reminds me of swizgar from metalacolyps

[GuitarVu]

Thats because Skwisgaar was based off of him...

[flicfan416]

@GuitarVu I think Skwisgaar was more based off of Yngwie Malmsteen, with the whole swedish thing

[mitomen2000]

It could be betcha can't play this

[MaxTropicola]

anyone knows what the name of roope's custom jackson rr? i like those cross pinstripes...

[mariekjje]

@MaxTropicola

it's a rr24 xD

[theghost100]

where could i get this dvd?

[MetalUpYerArse1992]

how does the other guy get that violin sound?

[Equestional]

he doesnt have a violin tone like most ppl think, both alexi and roope are playing to a quiet backing track

[stepahn276]

@MetalUpYerArse1992

It's a pedal.

[lordtyamat]

Is a special pedal, such as those for distortion, eco...delay..etc ;)

[musicman1794]

its a modulator.

[peti1024]

Lol Even the slow part is too fast to see the frets

[jorzaman]

where can i get alexis guitar in finland

[quinnisfat]

shit, probably the black market. the one he is playing in the video was stolen from him years ago.

[Stopthecrash]

[ctrlzmusic]

SHITTYASS quality

[ChuckSchuldiner14753]

10/10/09!!! YEA!!!

[hacksai]

how long ago was this? he's still using a jackson. the esp is better

[xrocky3]

Jackson owns esp , for sweeping and doing solo and its more easy to play with it

[tigreslokos]

how do they get the violin-type sound? pedals??

[guitarwailer7]

yep. Roope uses a volume pedal, thats how they get the violin sound.

[circleofpit]

besides the backing track is very loud which is an orchestra, so it fools your ears

[mattsm08]

what is the song they play at 1:00?

[zuschlag123]

'' fast and slow '' is the best line lol xD

[flavadude]

i like how he says "slow" haha

[qwertos118]

[ThrashDeth17]

OH MY GOD! EX. 2 WAS ON IMPORTANT THINGS WITH DEMITRI MARTIN!!!!!!!!

I also adore alexi's playing.

[hiitsmcjosh]

65555 views!

[Justintheguitardude]

What tuning is he in?

[th0rtheg0d]

They play 1 full step down.

[toxie55]

they both always play in d tuning or d tuning with a drop c

[hiitsmcjosh]

he usually plays in drop c

[ferociouspokemachine]

the WildChild guitar was in D mostly.

[jblattner0]

how long has he been playing guitar

[toxie55]

on the 'That Metal Scene' tv show he said 16 years

[hairlessdog101]

first rifft after the little solo was such a fucking rip of of yngwie malmsteen lol the rest was diffrent and cool i just thought it was funny lol

[Kerrymazing]

Yumyumyum...nomnom...etc.

So fucking good...as always.

[totallyawesome666]

I think he lost the accent cuz the other times ive heard him talk he hasnt had it.

[Lu1z01]

He can finger-tap faster than the speed of the light.

[ACardFan]

Hehe, cool to see them playing together like that. It just looks neat (I'm not a guitarist =) It's funny the way his accent makes the bands name sound. "Hi, I'm Alexi from Chilno Bodom" hehe, I've never heard him say the WHOLE thing I don't think ;)

[utuber351]

It sounds more like childon a bodom to me ;D

[ACardFan]

Yeah that must be right, I must have mis-heard it!

;)

[BOADude69]

anyone no wat tuning this ist?

[Magical13Man]

its in Drop C

[killerfront0]

No, its D standard

[rylondeen]

i whole step down, no drop

[oze9901]

:o amazing

[carolmariuttiGO]

SHIT i cant believe how amazing are them

[GutarPro35]

that was good in the begining and it was shit

[Exoskeletaljunction]

They no doubt have the ability, but the note choice is pretty generic

[Alphantis]

This exercise is Vivaldi's 4 seasons. calling vivaldi generic isnt a very intelligent thing to say considering he was one of the 1st classical composers

[rockaboys]

is crazy crazy

[gitariff]

is that a line6 amp in the backround

[ferociouspokemachine]

where

[gitariff]

the amp that is ontop of the roland amp

[ferociouspokemachine]

kinda looks like a mesa to me...

[gitariff]

really it looks like theres a Line 6 logo on the amp

[ferociouspokemachine]

yep you're right it's a line 6 flextone

i was thinking of a fender amp but there's no fender logo

[Liarsthrown]

line 6 = blah

[gitariff]

ok ;) i think line 6 amps are just fine

[Liarsthrown]

idk, i just oculd never get in too them, too digital, stuff like peavey, mesa, and marshall is best in my opinion, what do you think?

[gitariff]

well i like mesas and marshalls but i have never tried Peaveys

:) maybe i will try one soon

[DUY1337GUITAR]

peaveys have very thin sounds

[DUY1337GUITAR]

yeah, I agree, they are too digital, but the bigger line 6 or the half stack are great, but I like something more analog.

[vicrattlehead2]

oh lol i didnt notice you had seen this vid XD must have been why it was in my recommended list. anyways i was looking at his guitar and i noticed that hes using a jakson. that means this video is OLLLLLLLLLLLDDD alexi started using esp's a while ago.

[CobrazVeNoMx]

2003

[vicrattlehead2]

exactly that was 6 years ago...

[Veenershnitsal]

I have a line six halfstack. It's BEAST. There's tons of sounds to make with them.

Line 6=awesome (not blah)

XD

[DeathToAllStickMen]

Straight up, my line 6 has so many different sounds on it.

[vicrattlehead2]

ehhh i don't like like six. the distortion is ok but they breakdown easily. i stick with crate/ampeg because of the distortion is perfect and has a "shape" control.

[omgitsconner]

neone have any idea how to play the lick before the presto movement?

[Bloodrocuted159]

Vivaldi-Summer theme

[sharpo939]

vivaldi-estate

[0l0vamp]

whts the name of the song.....the one which start at 1:30

[ferociouspokemachine]

4 seasons - Summer - 3rd Movement (Presto) by Vivaldi

[metal1324]

anyone know whats between examples 2 and 3

[parkersvx90210]

Skwisgaar?

[metal1324]

not sure but he would be one of my first guesses of who the based skissgar off of but i do know nathan is george fisher and pickles is deven townsend

[NEXeroxer]

don't forget toki is Mikael Åkerfeldt

[hegyioli]

hi I'm oliver and I learn English I live in Hungary...Alexi is gay=he love the boys but he plays a guitar well

[metalheadude6]

how do u know that dumbass

[silentbob36]

he loves the boys? and yet he's married to a woman... hmmm your logic is flawless

[elliott0]

hey so was elton john

[abdul1881]

hungarian bastard!

[ferociouspokemachine]

who the hell is hungarian

[abdul1881]

hegyioli, he commented on this vid: hi I'm oliver and I learn English I live in Hungary...Alexi is gay=he love the boys but he plays a guitar well

[ferociouspokemachine]

wow what a fagget

[abdul1881]

i know

[blahman178]

what? well you make no sense. you are fascinated by technical ability yet don't know shit about anything.

[blahman178]

umm, i don't even have any vids,how would you know how I play?

[rubbertoe6661]

big smiles

[blahman178]

what? haha that makes no sense.

[blahman178]

whatever you tell yourself. you probably suck at guitar, don't call me a noob, hahaha.

[blahman178]

wow from 1:00 to 1:17 was a total yngwie ripoff of I'll See The Light Tonight

[BUbba123bub]

what dvd is this off is it young guitar

[lamby284]

alexi's hair is so long and beautiful :)

[MiniMoose22031]

he's got such a badass accent, and great guitar skills... he should get into acting and be the next batman villin, his voice would be perfect for the bad guy lol

[JonIsFrench]

at 1:01

[JonIsFrench]

i hope everone knows that in the beginning the neo-classical lick that they play in the very beginning... is Yngwie's I'll See The Light solo intro..

[wasanga456]

sounds cool harmonized tho :D

[JonIsFrench]

yeah i know it sounds really cool, and i didn't try to insult Alexi i respect his playing alot.. so idk why i got -6....

[Requiemxtoxinnocence]

when he talks he reminds me of skwisgar from metalocalypse.

[Lazarus46423]

That's who skwisgaar is based off of.

[BoundWithDuctTape]

did he say he's from a band called Synergy, too? hmm... never new he had a side-project

[xhopkinslax9]

its Sinergy, basically a Melodic Metal Band with Alexi and Roope as the guitars. They rock, but Bodom owns Sinergy.

[RockAlexanderx]

Fichissimo!
