PS If you get this dvd also get Exodus Gary Holt's A Lesson in Guitar Violence. The two go together. I came up with a monster solo by combining the two. I'm not even close to playing like these guys, but I'm getting better with these dvds. Gary Holt also shows his rig here. It's a lot simpler than I thought it would be - very cool.
I own this dvd and it's a kick axe of a lesson. It's not played here, but the unison bends on the solo intro really captures the Slayer vibe right from the start. Andy James breaks down each part slowly. I didn't find the fingerings and remembering the notes of the solo too difficult, but playing up to Andy Jame's speed is not easy for me. Some parts I could play from the start. Other parts are going to take much practice. All in all this is a super cool dvd for creating your own lead solos.
is there any way i could personally thank Andy for his metal style and ask him a few questions please get back to me my name is logan btw i dont know why i put that there but i did
@DragonRoyale this is not even close to being a PRS have a little respect to the best company out there if this is a joke i apologize if not get real its an esp not a PRS. PRS is a real guitar company not a shitty esp
So when are you guys going to do a quick licks Dave Mustaine or Marty Friedman dvd? Especially Friedman, his exotic sound would be awesome for a quick licks dvd
People complain that slayer solos make no sense and are just eratic and be honest would you guys see Slayer (except you trolls who are just hating and have no intention ever to see Slayer) if all the solos were changed to Kerry and Jeff standing up there playing like Clapton solos making those stupid fucking jizz faces or would you go to see some fucking shredded, fingers on fire, minds melted, guitars turned to mush FUCKING SLAYER, they make millions, and they entertain us i dont see the prob
You people who say Kerry can't solo using scales etc don't know what you're talking about! On divine intervention, Kerry shreds the harmonic minor scale, war ensemble uses both harmonic minor and pentatonic licks, spirit in lavies harmonization of the double harmonic scale etc. I could go on. He was really only wild and chaotic on the first four records- though it started improving on south of heaven
@Aeolianshredhead I don't care if Kerry is technical or not. Thrash isn't a guitar lesson, it's violence in music! Let the Malmsteen wannabes do the talking, Kerry is on the top of the metal scene while they jerk off watching guitar methods.
@Martyfriedman001 what the fuck are you talking about he's hella good even though he's still thrash he still feels his playing he's got a good style that know one else has you've probably heard the raining blood solo
@uNFoRGiveNGTs Hi there for the US please allow up to 28days this is due to US customs. Though usually they should be with you within 10 days. Hope that helps.
hey, the extreme metal soloing are 2 volumens about learning 3 of andy's tacks, which are really difficult, for those who are looking for a quick licks of andy, there you have, :D
Hey, i wonder what gauges of guitar strings he uses on this vid.? if u can answers me cuz i got the same guitar as him! i wonder if u can answer me thattt..
you made a few mistakes, firstly this solo was in key, secondly you have been playing actual notes to play like kerry king you have to fuck around with the whammy bar for 30 goddamn minutes
@darkimages666 LOL i agree...i luv his riffs...but i dont feel his guitar style too much even though his fast...but that doesnt make a lead guitar...but master of the riffs...nobody cant deny that sh*t XD haha
please please pleeeeease... make an andy timmons dvd!!! i know this video is the wrong style of music to ask for this but if any of you guys enjoy music, you will enjoy andy timmons
Its a pity he doesnt explain musically what is going on, I watched the Megadeth instructional dvd and he never said what scales and modes were being used its just a case of this finger goes here and then this finger goes here, I want them to unravel the mystery so I can write my own stuff like Mustaine or King, not just copy riffs.
This, my friend is the trap of Lick Library. It's just a living, breathing tab. That's why a lot more artists haven't jumped onto the bandwagon. If they did teach the theory aspect of each song, then Lick Library would be absolutely perfect.
@dahudge14 Yes I wish they would tell us how it was created theoretically but its still great to have Lick Library living breathing tabs, maybe one day !
@BodomGuitar97 Yeah its too melodic and sounds like an actual solo. No offense to kerry king but his solos and alot of other thrash metal solos purposely sound horrible.
@acdckingrockstar That's why Andy James turned down all of Guitar Hero's offers, he was like "I'm way too good for guitar hero, go get Slash or something." Then they were like "since Andy James said it lets do it!."
the solo in the background sounds more like dave mustaine style
