Marcus Lavendell - Oriental Shred (by Muris Varajic)

[MatKiller1197]

it sounds like greek tsifteteli

[3bo0odpala]

I'm from Saudi Arabia... and I approve this video

[101DIGITAL010]

this ain't oriental this is middle Eastern.

[italianobaiano]

great!!!

[whatsitallabouthey]

Folks, just Google "phrygian dominant mode". Play that mode back to back, and you'll sound pretty close to this.

[RocknLester2011]

its fast...

[TheFarriesmetalhead]

Shit man! You are awesome!!!!!!!!!!

[chickenmanstan]

Sounds like distorted klezmer.

[kenogti]

Svaka cast kralju!!!!! Well done man, nice to hear that muris's influence is spreading 'round the world, and bosnian music culture! Enjoy sevdah :D :D

[sydbeqabarrett]

tabs pleaaaaase

[MrRBsGuitar]

tabs? ;-p

[petrochemicals4u]

I don't get this "Oriental" hype at all..? Sounds like Greek or middle eastern to me....

[laiosto]

@petrochemicals4u It is Greek.In Greek it is the Hitzaz scale.In arabic music which uses quarter

tones and fretless,stringed instruments like the oud,saz and turkish baglamas,the scales are called maqam.There are many minor,major and chromatic versions.Greek and Balkan music which is usually played on even-tempered instruments,the quarter tones are either raised or lowered to the nearest whole semi-tone.So yes,the music can be described as Oriental,or Greek.or Turkish,Bosnian and Arabic.

[Dojadilomi]

Thank You sir for blessing us with your amazing guitar talents :)

[rizanac]

beautiful playing...this is I believe Fender from the 70s ? beutiful sound...:)

[behemoth666123]

hahaha, the pickup switching is amazing^^

[fwnm8]

Amzing! Remides me very musc of the instrumental wedding-instrumental music that emerged in Bulgaria in the 70-ties, based on the folk structures, but using some jazz-rock instruments, arangements and influences. Really lively!

[mornar75]

do jaja brate! mozes li mi dati neki tip, za tehniku desne ruke,kako da drzim trzalicu i to vezano za desnu ruku hvala !

[kolimon1]

dude that was a-m-a-z-i-n-g!!!!keep bring the videos!!!!!!!good luck!

[binnyficate]

Sounds VERY Israeli. :P

I like it!

[edsabby]

@binnyficate

This is an Arabic rhythm called Zaffa

and the scale is also arabic called Hijaz Kar Kurd..... Nothing is Israli here..

The composer is outstanding..

[binnyficate]

Almost all Israeli or Arabic music sounds similar, by the way.

[farismadi]

@binnyficate

naa you can't brand any kind of music to be israeli or jewish... because their culture were/are scattered and mixed...and currently they are trying to mimic the arabic music...specially Aleppo music

but this is Arabic music...

you can say almost turkish and arabic music are the same

[MARKOTHEDEVIL]

My name is also MARCUS, so please make tabs and send me backing track by email, PLS !! :D

[memphisjf]

Really, Very Good.

Thats Good man.

In Portugues I says:

Muito Fodaaa.

Continue that carrer

[educabeiras]

Exactly vhat model of hot rails from seymour duncan are you using? Your pickups are active or passive? I will be thanked if you answer me:D

[lavendell]

On this guitar there are two "no name" copies of Hotrails (which I think sound better than the original SHR-1). So these pick-ups are not from Seymour Duncan :)

I only use passive pick-ups.

[educabeiras]

Thanx!! Sorry but, what pickups do you use in our white Yngwie Strat i really love your tone!!!

[educabeiras]

Sorry i didn´t want say our XD i wanted to say your :p

[TheRaubtiermann]

[slipknot7gibson]

SEVDAH!!! napisao je bosanac bolan!! onda je sevdah!!!!

[DivjakVlada]

its turbo sevdah narodnjak xD

[turbochutiya]

it sure does sound oriental try listeing to some arab music, its very similar, and it owns, besides a particular kind of music isnt limited it one country, it aint like metal can only be British and not American or for that matter any other country

[sunofgosin]

Youre fucking idiot, metal can only be British what about Metallica or Burzum or Suffocation or Lamb of God all metal none of it from Briton

[KingofShred]

lol I love how you call him a "fucking idiot" yet he said him self "it aint like metal can only be british"

Try and brush up your comprehension and literacy skills before running your mouth off at somone next time :)

[rockmetalmachine]

british? wtf metal, good death and black metal is almost always from europe but not british

[stylojonson]

you know that great britan is in europe ...

[Shahen1999]

we want more !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[scullshot]

Where can I find the backing track for this??

[meliherdem]

It's hard to tell wather it's bosnian, persian, arabic or turkish... Fact is that it's combination...

The style was, or at least the scale it's playing over, was maybe developed, but for sure spread due to the Osmanian Empire..

[xDante182x]

this is so coool please a tab anyone pleasse xD

[xDante182x]

please taaaab :D

[alwsfaction]

TAbs plzz !!!! 0_0 !!!

Perfect man !

[Dazsturbed]

Sounds more egyption than oriental.

[torturer6067]

Actualy Bosnian;)

[Dazsturbed]

In my point of view I think it sounds egyption or persian like something of prince of persia or something.

[torturer6067]

Muris is from Bosna and this is thair national style:) Im from Slovenija and trust me i know Bosnian traditional music:)

[Dazsturbed]

Still at the end of the day thats not oriental.

[tomiwolf]

i am from croatia

we say for that

narodnjaci :D

[Qlicky]

Nope, we say sevdah!

[DeathMetalBIH]

Kakvi narodnjaci,veze nemas ni ti ni ti tvoji.Ovo je cisti sevdah,bosanac sam valjda znam.

[filipdinev1]

Try to play it. Just try to play it...

[HitchhikerThe]

:)

[MandolinShredder]

Nice chops, man! Hey, are your neck bridge pickups EMG SV's or something like that? Just a question because I'm looking for a warm, shred-like tone in my neck PU for my Stratocaster. Cheers, dude!

[lavendell]

Thank you! :) The pickup is a "no name" copy of Duncan Hotrails.

[MandolinShredder]

All right, sweet! Thanks!

[shawking]

[Vuick92]

he's just great...thts all i can say.

[kaihimself]

omg.. Vuick92

hes playing mindblowingshit and you want him to play canon rock

[M1thotyn]

No words in our understandable language -- I've been trying to find them for an hour now -- can describe my analytic perspective of you, and why I believe you're at least the greatest guitarist I have ever experienced. ... And I'd been combining the aspects I like amongst them (yngwie, vai, satch, halen, lane, hendrix, so on and so forth), but you seem to master those aspects whether it be academically or autodidactism... I'm not saying you're better than them, I'm saying you embody that "is".

[GermanStel]

AMAZINNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGG !!!!

[mraggrovator]

Super player.

[denoud]

Bara en sak att säga. GRYMT!

[YouKan2]

This guy is no Rusty Cooley. Hi is better. Forget the speed and focus on the expressions, the perfect vibratos and bends. This guy can play fast and he does, but he has control over what he plays and how he plays it. He is not about playing all these fast run that are "soul-dead". I hope you get what I mean.

I think he may be in the Andy Timmons kind of playing. Fantastic expressioin+speed when needed+dynamics... Just enjoy while it lasts.

[tjchep]

He's playing somthing better!

Originality is good.

[Slowfingered]

Grymt spelat. Detta måste jag lära mig ^^

[YouKan2]

Inspiring!

[shredder757]

Great... as always!

[Vuick92]

youre great guitarist marcus!!!

[ChocolateLimonate]

The greatest solo I've ever heard.

Tack Marcus!

[longdisturb]

man i'm from middle east, and wow indeed! but it could be a little bit slower? i don't know though, but it's amazing!

[sebmaster64]

it's a fabulous MURIS VARAJIC lesson,I love it!

Fabulous technique MARCUS, 5 STARS :):):)

[xRisingForcex]

Awesome, just like Rusty Cooley.

[XMitsuhideX]

IMO Lavendell is better than Rusty Cooley. :0

[justplayman]

cool, nice ta see how dem orient notes go,mixed with apeggio, and acending scale flury

[wietse16]

5/5, Marcus, you're a god.

[romspryo]

5/5 awesome

[jupiterbabies]

[RobinStrower]
