Alexi Laiho Lesson

[aridahl]

what guitar world's issue is this?

[666ilikepie]

He messed up who gives a shit no one can play the same many times And not mess up

[bpl711]

Is his guitar outta tune, like a lot? I understand it's in drop c but still....

[genkegenkai]

justin bieber: God sent me.

Alexi: I didn't sent anyone.

[cob9702]

I think his guitar sounds fuckin awesome!! :)) 

[MusicWhore10]

The key is c minor Alexi.....

[AlexiVanGates]

@MusicWhore10 lol I noticed that myself

[dobbs123456789]

@MusicWhore10 how dost thou knowest?

[7StringSeven]

This is what a guitar sounds like when the signal is passed through a piece of tin foil before entering the amplifier.

[Jacksonguitars1231]

I love the DR alexi signatures (:

[CrushedJustice]

you can tell he hasn't slept for days

[Hellype333]

alexi create great riffs :)

[natesctz]

One thing I find funny is that Alexi doesn't down pick when he palm mutes the low E, I've been taught to downpick for more power and rythmn but hey I'm not gonna argue with Alexi

[WildKoolAid13]

@natesctz maybe cause only downpicking those triplet is kinda harder on the hand and make it sounds worst

[wannabeserpento99]

@natesctz it's more pro to alternate pic =) and he keeps the rhytm by just alternatpicking

[Colton527]

It's a lesson... who gives a shit what it sounds like. He'd do it on a fucking acoustic if he had too.

[deathonics]

does anyone know how many guitars he has

[xDannyDeathcorex]

@deathonics about 150

[SHAKINGBABIES]

anyone else thinks this is sloppy and sounds like shit?

[ArttuSkede]

@SHAKINGBABIES Sloppy, little bit atleast at the blooddrunk keyboard part... And the tone is just shitty cause he propuably has a terrible amp that the people who arranged this gave to him

[apalmalarrain]

@ArttuSkede Oh come on, the tone is fine, just horribly recorded... blame that on the production team, marshall distortion is absolutely ok.

[ArttuSkede]

@apalmalarrain Well yeah it could be that....

[smaratelj]

He made so many mistakes here... He's still my favorite guitarist, though.

[chazyfizle]

11:50 i fuckin jizzed everywhere XD

[FTMrocks]

I don't think he's sloppier because of not practicing or being to drunk. He did break his wrist back in '09 remember.

[MrBastardOfBodom]

I think,the reason why he laughs at 12:16 is because the camera man looked after the tapping like this : Ô.Ô

:DDD

[AreYie93ae]

i want him back to his jackson guitars....

[apalmalarrain]

@AreYie93ae Not until I buy mine.. prices on the RR24 will probably rise if he goes back xD

[AreYie93ae]

@apalmalarrain i bet that you would do anything to have that guitar..lol

[apalmalarrain]

@AreYie93ae Haha yeah, probably...

[cissystrutter]

so drunk...

[MParseface38]

@cissystrutter

...so not.

[cissystrutter]

@MParseface38 I like Alexi, hes a great guitarist but hes been getting sloppier and sloppier cuz of getting drunk or high. you can tell in this video that something is wrong because he was very sloppy and parts. he was so much better in his teens

[MParseface38]

@cissystrutter

i agree about the sloppiness but why keeps everyony saying that he is "drunk" all the time?! i don't think so. i've seen him on two concerts of the ugly world tour and the only think he drank during the show was WATER. i think he's just become lazy, he got worse and worse from the day on he quit playing jacksons.

[cissystrutter]

@MParseface38 Ok, I can see that, but ive only seen him drink beer on stage but still. i think thats very much a possibility, i liked it better when he could play live or in a video and not totally screw up every two seconds

[MParseface38]

@cissystrutter

he was better when he was with jackson, let's just agree on that! ;)

[wannabeserpento99]

@cissystrutter he has never been drunk on a concert, because he dnt wanna disrespect his fans. and he has been injured lots of times so thats why he have sometimes fucked up live concerts or then he hasb een sick, usually they're pretty good live. but theese lessons are usually sloppy played

[xXMusicxMadnessXx]

@wannabeserpento99 The tone is bad in these magazine lessons, unfortunately because some fucktard gives them a tone they have to use while filming for a lesson with the magazine (GuitarWorld in this case), and GuitarWorld's tone is blasphemously bad

[cissystrutter]

@wannabeserpento99 There are plenty of videos that ive seen of him drinking at concerts. like one, i forget which concert, but he had a guitar solo and it was kind of a solo-off between him and the keyboard, and he was absolutely terrible

[kawaxilaiho]

ｱﾚｷｼ

[johnnyXXI]

fucking awesome!!!

[pigpen4483]

fucking brutal

[LOVENISH10]

i love jacksons tone...

[ShatterTheSkiesAbove]

The fingering's easier when you skip the G-string ;)

[Tie4821]

I don't like his hat/

[halo3forlyfe]

awesome guitarist but hes not even counting himself in right...

[greendayfen4e]

@nexicoo man control your duddy or ill kil him

[Tie4821]

Good

[CrushedJustice]

He kind of looks like mick mars in this video

[yourDeath86]

omg why is always autodelete from my favourites? !

[screamingtrashcans]

The first part on the guitar, sounds so much better then on the keyboard.

[bluefAng]

4:07 i thougt it was a metronome for the low tempo and after a second watch i realized it was alexi's dog tag hitting the guitar lol

[gianma93]

stop at 4:38 scary face! D:

[NoktemAeternus]

guitar world couldnt give him a better amp than this, really

[drunkwitharazorblade]

watch his face at 11:33 lol

[drunkwitharazorblade]

he looks like he on some hard drugs hah. good man. lol its funny as fuck how he just sits there and stares at camera with wide eyes

[arpeggioxmajor]

cool..

[schecterguitarsfan]

It doesnt sound like he has his guitar on full volume....

[brandonfishas]

Shit the guitar tone in this is SHIT

[alfrebame]

Is not a fucking new guitar,he played with that at Chaos Ridden Years DVD.

[MasterOfSomething96]

what is that guitar???

[husky36092]

@MasterOfSomething96 hey, its an esp alexi katakana - only released in finland, i have seen one in melbourne here tho

[MrReaperGuitarist]

his new guitar?

[Shink5]

Judst wanted to say that , because everytime i see a clip of an artist on guitar world their tone is terrible

[Shink5]

Guitar World ...... please im a subscriber give the guitar players better amps to use

[Tuscopa]

Thanks for the videos man. Someone should do a youtube page with Guitar World videos only, as someone already does for Young Guitar Magazine. It is just a pain in the ass the Magazine in some countries doesn´t come with the cd.

Thanks again man.

[nmillwater33]

isn't the key c minor???

[kookieless]

to bad i didn't get mag

[alfrebame]

This is the god of melodies.

But it's OUT OF TUNE

[Agnes135]

@alfrebame

God of melodies my arse, That would be MaB.

[alfrebame]

@Agnes135

No it's Alexi,listen to the Follow the Reaper album and you'll see,MAB is the God of shredding that's for sure.

[Phailure365]

this is sloppy as hell. alexis my favorite musican ever, and if you look back to his days in sinergy and early CoB, his playing has gotten worse

[oleifangDK]

@Phailure365 You know, i think the new signature plays a part in that. The Jackson RR24 is very diffrent from the ESP Alexi in every way. And the signature pickups are just HORRIBLE!!!

[Phailure365]

@oleifangDK actually i highly doubt that, because all his personal models are to the exact specs of his old jackson custom shops. i think its because of the 2 accidents he had, once breaking his wrist and the other breaking his shoulder

[DerMatty]

@Phailure365 we will see on the new album, but i think you're right. some say hes better drunk, some say hes better sober, i dont know, i think he has his good and bad days :D like everyone has

[DH31701]

@oleifangDK The RR24 isn't modeled after the same specs as his Jackson

they've got different pickups

[mgdth502]

I wish they're ask him to demonstrate some stuff from Something Wild or anything Follow the Reaper and before. I think if he showed Northern Comfort or Wrath Within or something a lot of people probably don't know very well it'd be way cooler than Blooddrunk EVERY interview!

[HateCrew112]

Laihos tone sucks in this video

[Snuffily1]

I love it when he plays the chorus for Blooddrunk ^^

and how much he breaks down Hellhounds :D

"muting the strings is the key" :')

[Rennhenrima]

guitargod :)!

[nexicoo]

Seeing Alexi tonight

[yes0684]

@nexicoo why

[Grim214]

when did alexi get the tat on his upper left arm? anyone know what it says?

[Grim214]

@Equestional oh. alright then lol

[JojoWildchildLaiho]

@Grim214 I think it's ''End of Fucking''

[Grim214]

@JojoWildchildLaiho thats what i thought but wasnt sure how much sense that would make lol

[jessex007]

@JojoWildchildLaiho Actually its "end of Fucking Story" :)

[Grim214]

@JojoWildchildLaiho its actually "end of fucking story" which he says alot. thats why he got it lol

[nexicoo]

Hey check are band out, links in the description we don't do any covers and never will because that's for douche bags, it would be greatly appreciated.

[WildKoolAid13]

@nexicoo doing cover is for douche bags ? so i guess all guitar players are since most of them did cover of their fav songs -_-

[BPRICE2]

he needs to hang out in Finland more. he seems to be loosing his Finish Accent

[TonyCOBHC666]

and uh...drop tuning uh and this is where uh hahaha i wish i had a dollar for everytime he says uh in this video xD COBHC FOR LIFE \m/

[xSnoweyexp]

@Ellinarkkari dude ur a die hard cob fan :P why are u saying hes playing sloppy , he always plays like this haha when ur a top guitarist you never play sloppy unless ur really drugged or drunk but thats a different story. youtube just fucks up the bass and the whole overall tone but who cares its a prettty nice video

[frostybob123]

@xSnoweyexp you are so stupid... this is sloppy as shit. lol, blaming it on youtube

[xSnoweyexp]

@frostybob123 ur obviously not a good musician. its funny that unknown people always act so agressive like they want to kill you or something, calm down dude !! Alexi has a great playing style and there arent many people that can play with this high class of style. there are millions of hightech shredders out there much better than alexi but they don't have the same charme and style alexi has in his playing. Thats the most important thing

[frostybob123]

@xSnoweyexp i never said i didn't like his playing style. I was pointing out that your'e too much of a fanboy to admit when he's playing sloppy lol.

[xSnoweyexp]

@frostybob123 fanboy haha , what is sloppy about it than ? he always plays like this :P its not that sloppy, when hes playing live everyones going crazy soow people complain to fuckin much in this world

[nunofrg]

@xSnoweyexp dude for real!

[WarheartHC]

@Ellinarkkari nothing with the sloppy ness/ he is not using his own amp so the sound is totally Diffrent it might even be a To strong amp

BUT youtube Fuckes up alot !

[XESHADOWX]

sounds like he is either using a weak amp.

[produccionesmiranejo]

fuck you man

i was going to upload this vid XD

well you got it first

[ivanlaiho09]

Alexi is the best!!!

[Moshman17]

his tone is horrible in this vid..

[dako89]

@Moshman17 is because ESPs!

[OnyxBeastGuitar]

@Moshman17 Everyone that goes to Guitarworld has horrible tone, Guitarworld should get better amps, how dare they let Alexi play some cheap crappy shoebox

[mattconsul]

@Moshman17 agreed

[thefreezingmoon1]

@Moshman17

Agreed!

If we take a look at all in his "newer" videos, nowadays.. His tone SUCKS on all videos, .

Look at the older stuff when he played with jackson,.. Now thats a cool tone..

[pigpen4483]

@Moshman17 yeah its too warm and chunky/creamy

[christiandil10]

@Moshman17 i bet he's using the distortion of the marshall ampli. i bet it

[ShredmasteRsl3]

Alexi is sick!!
