Is that a Schaller 456 bridge?

Thanks

[MetalRiffAcademy]

@HillaryHitler I believe it's a Badass bridge \m/

[HillaryHitler]

Is your bridge a Schaller 456?

I am not into FR but do like fine tuners and your bridge is exactly what I am after for a custom build

[SerenityDivide]

Sounds amazing! Used to play keyboard for a neoclassical metal band and we covered a few Iron Maiden songs! Wow, really neat learning it from the other side of the spectrum (guitar). :D

[dijogule]

Hi bro .. Do you have the MBOX driver that appears behind you? and what program you use to record with the MBOX? I have an equal but lost the drivers.. and now I have no way to record my music.. :( Sorry about the writing, I don't speak English!!

[MetalRiffAcademy]

@dijogule You should be able to download them from Avid/Digidesign. I haven't used the Mbox for a few years and I'm not sure what I have for drivers but let me know If u cant find them from the Avid web site and I will look and see what I have. No problem about the English. If you speak two languages that's one more than me ;)

[dijogule]

Awesome lesson man..

[discreetninja500]

love ur guitar man so nice and i see u've got some dimarzio pickups same as me :)

[frasorto]

[MusiDF]

[MetalRiffAcademy]

@MusiDF Thanks, I believe it's an '81. Mu favorite guitar maker for sure. \m/

[retroclipps]

@MetalRiffAcademy

I have a 1980 Lado Solo 1.

Amazingly versatile guitar.. unique design. I'd never part with mine.

[238839]

@retroclipps And I have a 1981 Solo 1 as well. It is worth about $5000.00 dollars based on Joe Lado's assessment. I would think the Lado in this video is worth $8000.00

[metalshredder14]

this is awesome bro! i have wanted to learn this awesome song for ages, but i have never had the time, very helpful :)

[StagemasterHSH]

are that Dimarzio Super Distortions on that guitar?

[LordReserei01]

Remember this being one of the first Iron Maiden songs I learned on guitar - by ear. That was a few weeks after picking up a guitar around 8 years ago (I'm 24). \m/_(>.<)_\m/

[roccckkerrr]

[cantthinkwell]

[StickmnBOB]

[XB0XFR34K]

what kind of guitar is this?

[heavymetalrocker122]

thats one cool guitar!

[Bardia876]

@MetalRiffAcademy hey, I wanted some tips on strings that I can bend easily because the strings I have are tight and it blisters my fingers really bad. And if you know some safety tips about fingers could you please tell me. Thank you, Rock On!

[BlackIbanezPower]

lol

why there are so many triggers on your guitar^^

ps.great vid:)

[sgogiz1]

what guitar is that?, it's awesome!

[darkedgekilla]

I've been only playing a year so i'm not very experience but i cannot believe how easy this riff is! Damn sexy sounding... Makes it easier to learn when you're watching a good teacher :)

[ihaveallseeingeyes]

awsome videos, thanks v.much.

Could u do a detailed lesson on the pentatonic?

Im more into riff writting and comming up with great ideas.

Thanks!

[MetalRiffAcademy]

@ihaveallseeingeyes I will be doing that at some point. \m/

[RuberDuky1]

[trolior]

Are you canadian ..??? anyway Subscribed ... XD

[MetalRiffAcademy]

@trolior Damn Straight! :D \m/

[gabycuneo]

nice!! thanks!

[samsquanch67]

Nice lesson DUDE.

[MetalRiffAcademy]

@MrKookoodude It's my Dream to go there. Joe Koviac(Lado) is semi-retired & they keep announcing the schools closing. But I think he loves it too much and just lives to pass the knowledge on to the next generation so they keep changing & announcing another run. I think he's in his 70's & no one can do anything forever. I think they plan to continue the school till 2012 but who knows? It seems like he'll teach it as long as he can. He's a total genius and my hero. \m/ Guitar is all stock BTW. \m/

[bobert3152]

Mike you grew out your hair!!!! looks awesome man

[MetalRiffAcademy]

@bobert3152 Oh why thank you;) Who is this BTW? Canadian. Into lots o' Metal. Do I know u?

[bobert3152]

[nadskiez]

[MetalRiffAcademy]

@MrKookoodude '81 Lado Falcon. She's a Beaut ;) \m/

[Jesuslolowns]

One of the first riffs I learned. Always a pleasure to watch you play.

[HaohmaruOfTheWind]

I rather play this song my own way though

[Keylooh]

wow thanks for this lesson, didnt know i cant do this^^

[metklok]

dude your guitar has more knobbies and dials than I can count

[LichKingSkullWart]

@metklok You can count past 9?

[metklok]

@LichKingSkullWart it's tough to get that high.

[guugeli169]

Great video, big pleasure to watch. Even that I had played guitar for 8 years, it's still fun to watch!

[TheAgentAssassin]

great vid BTW

[zzzhuh]

Good lord. Awesome tutorial but is that a b.c. rich? And what does the extra nobs do? 2 coil's 1 3 way toggel. 2 tone 2 volume but what about the other two switches?

[CiviC092]

@zzzhuh Most likely one of them is a killswitch

[ShredGuitarAcademy]

@zzzhuh It's a Lado Falcon. Similar to and from the same time period as early BC Riches & built to the same type of hand made quality. However I think Lado quality has stayed at that level whereas I can't say the same about most newer BC Riches. Appropriate for this video as Adrian Smiths main guitar and Steve Harris's main bass in the 80's were both Lados. Not anymore though as Lado is a small Canadian company & I'm sure can't afford the major bucks that Fender is probably paying them now. \m/

[ShredGuitarAcademy]

@zzzhuh There was a bit of a trend going on with boutique builders like Lado & BC Rich in the late 70's early 80's I think. Exotic woods. Multiple laminates of hardwood. Neck through construction & Crazy electronics. Not even sure if I know what half the stuff does. Volume & tone of course. Coil taps. Battery powered boost switch. A switch that alters the tonal options - best way I can describe it's like going through a wah set at a particular position @CiviC092 No kill switch unfortunately \m/

[zzzhuh]

@ShredGuitarAcademy Oh so it kind of has a sweet switch. That's the only thing that comes to mind when you bring up the wah set position. But cool thanks man it's a nice looking guitar and produces a great sound. Im big on b.c. rich bich's so that's why i asked about it being a b.c. rich keep thrashin man!

[ShredGuitarAcademy]

@zzzhuh I like BC Rich guitars too. I don't mean to sound too down on them but I have a lot of students that come in with cheap foreign made ones that seem like very poor quality. Someday I hope to add a nice vintage Mockingbird to the collection. I've seen a few from the early '80s with the exact same electronics and bridge as my Lado. \m/

[thanatos71209]

@TheAgentAssassin same. except for the drugs. i just barely play now. lol

[wesmatron]

Nicely done. Gorgeous guitar too.

[jimmyshitbags]

this is how all lessons should be done. every singe note explained slowly and clearly, with tabs on screen as he plays it.

[ShredGuitarAcademy]

@jimmyshitbags Thanks my friend. \m/
