Trivium - Guitar Lessons (2007) Gear Talk by MKH & CKB

[ThrashMetalTrivum]

Dunlop Jazz III's = best picks! (in my opinion). You can shred fast and accurately with them!

[MetvsBodom]

I USE THE SAME PICK AS COREY!!!!

[iBringTheHurt]

MKH signature...My dream guitar.

Ironically,my other dream instrument is a Gibson Custom Black Beauty like his,the one with the original pickups(All Gold Hardware) he uses in,"Shattering the Skies above",and,"Threos of Perdition"

Maybe a Marshall JVM and 6505Plus to top it off.Yeah...day dreaming again lol.

[tomz698]

iv got that guitar :) (matt's)

[tkdguy135]

hes experimenting between dimarzio and seymour duncans (this is in 2007).....what does he use now? EMGs, sorry EMG haters but i think this proves we can chalk up another win for team EMG

[TheNohcim]

@tkdguy135 it's reaally just personal preference. i for one use duncans and emgs. theyre both great. dimarzio, eh...never really liekd my evo pickup

[SSS0311992]

Epic Iron Maiden T-Shirt Appearance. lml

[MrHobbesmaster]

Iron Maiden shirt.... nice....

[InfernalChains]

@TheRealHateCrew If you look at one of the old dunlop strings ad, you'll see matt playing that. it's a 7 string, but i guess it was only a prototype.

[Username123226]

@TheRealHateCrew no, the one he was talking about ended up being his 7 string for a while, if you search Becoming the Dragon Live, its one of the vids, he is using it. Also it was used in the Dunlop Advertisements for awhile when they switched to dunlop Strings.

[psican1]

@TheRealHateCrew lol ya ithink he was just talkin out his ass on that 1. But its cool Corey chose duncans over EMGs that evetually came w the razor vs. Maybe Dean figured EMGs are popular w ppl and will sell more guitars...

[slashowns102938]

@TheRealHateCrew There is a pic of the one he's talking about but it's only in a 7 sting and as you know, trivium never release 7 stirng signature models...

[KiichiIsanu]

@TheRealHateCrew He originally had a prototype signature that was exactly that, but since he wanted the production model to be much bigger than it was, to which Dean said no, he decided to take a classic shape and put his own spin on it.

[5hopebellj]

that weird ml, rhoads xplorer guitar he was on about can be found! its a black and gold seven string, just type in matt heafy live or summin into google images

[Synysterjmz]

lol, corey "I like v's" xP.... My dirty mind =P

[GJRM18]

Hmm Awkward silence at 2:53 haha

[erniesux]

i used to use jazz III when I was like 13 or 14

then I found peavey 1.4 mm purple picks but I cant find them anymore and right now Im using fender extra heavy picks they're nice

[alecxg]

@erniesux the jazz III's are pretty badass except the only part i dont like it how small they are. ha

[erniesux]

@alecxg you are totally right that's what I thought when I used them

[alecxg]

@erniesux yeah dude. its crazy i didnt really like them that much at first and then i really started like them cause there so easy to play with and comfortable. there all i use now hah

[htthgnfnxm]

i also use jazz III

go Matt!!!!

[munitiontv]

Dunlop .73mm Tortex, flexable but not too flexable, and grippy ;) Ghs 10-52 progs, Never break, sound brutal!!!!

[poison806]

@munitiontv amen!

[MetalTillIDie461]

meh, i use dunlod 2mm LOL.

Also, how obvious is it theyre endorsed by DR and payed to say they use DR strings, they prolly use ernies or something - despite this im now considering getting some .10-.50 dr's :P

[queensofthestonage4]

@MetalTillIDie461 well they do use dr strings and they arent endorsed by them yet i prefer dr strings over ernie ball even tho ernie ball makes good strings but dr strings are way brighter in tone and sound and stay crisp for the longest time and they have a badass punch to them

[PS2178]

i like how corey knows nothing.

[angus666ify]

that razorback is pretty much just a usa razorback , with a different shade of colour and a black..pinstripe

but its fucking rockin

[K1rkHammet]

your lucky. Want a Gibson les paul to 10.000 $? You'll get one without stretching a muscle. I want one? Must save for years

[dimebagrulz123]

did he ever finish the guitar that he was talking about ive only seen his ml

[Txdragonslayer23]

wish they would of said what pedals they use cause they have good tone

[trivium646]

they have that info on their website.

[METALLICADDICT1993]

trivium said they dont use pedals its straight from the amp

[goodguitaristatmetal]

in my opinion the best dunlop picks are the lavender 1.5s

[guitarfreek1]

those are nice. but it depends what you want. personally for shredding i like to use the jazz 3's. awsome for control. i love it. dunlop picks are awsome

[ngshredtolive]

Has anybody seen the signature matt was talkin about?

[Davidisg0d]

yes its a normal ml with a rising sun graphic, its discontinued though, matt left dean guitars months ago

[ngshredtolive]

no it isnt it like a pointy star but the couldnt make it becuase the wouldve been sued by esp becuase it looked like the anchang star look it up

[Yomaster60]

jazz III picks are the shit dude!!!!!!!!!!!! jazz II for life!

[KayJayDK]

Yeah! I bought some because i found out Kirk Hammett uses em. They are unreplaceable when you've been playing them for a while. and then i found out my 2. biggest idol inspired him too it so i wil say AWESOME

[azndude1277]

yeah, kirk said in an interview that matt showed him.... at mayhem he had a jazz III but just one T_T and when he threw it , the pick hit the security guard and he gave it to some random guy next to me =(

[KayJayDK]

No he uses Jazz picks (check out the Dunlop interview with Kirk here on YouTube) and i already got Jazz Picks :D WONDERFUL CREATION!

[slashowns102938]

except for when you sweat they get slippery, but i ordered some grip ones so hopefully they'll be less slippery!

[Liarsthrown]

or you can just scratch them, i took a flat head screw driver, and scratched the hell out of the logos on both sides, and that works pretty well

[selibucaz]

if you use a razor or knife and make criss crosses it makes a grip on the jazz III's

[slashowns102938]

thanks! i'll try it!! i hate it when they get slipery!

[Liarsthrown]

no doubt, i switched from the ones dave mustaine uses(dunlop tortex .73mm) and yeah, the jazz 3s are a miracle

[hoang1428]

Wtf? u dont even have them , u SHOULD get some bitch lol

[FireGuitar02]

cool

[Ibik]

Matt says his guitar is like a les paul RR and a rb but it just a RB

[SpawnCall]

He says that he was designing a singature model that would be like that, never came through though..

[braindrillskater69]

floyd rose locking and all that shit, lol

[lilhendrix1106]

is that guitar he talks about at 0:55 really gonna happen or what?

[crybabyboss]

yeah dude i have one :S ur not very up to date on TRIVIUM are u?

[madonnaisafag]

yep he left dean an is back with gibson

[boldero66]

i saw them live last noght there still with dean

[PaperMinotaur]

They only use them for some of their 7 string songs.

[metallicatriviumPwN]

yeah but he still uses dean for the songs that need 7 strings

[Krankenstein25]

He actually uses Gibson custom seven strings now. I've seen him use a seven string flying v in numerous current videos.

[Jmorgasmic]

no the contract expired at the end of 08, they aren't with anyone

[madonnaisafag]

yeh and matts with gibson again

[PaperMinotaur]

Yeah that shit sucks. I wanted him to stay on Dean.

[sprouseboy12]

Corey's with DBZ guitar's and Matt's with gibson

[InnerFireOfficial]

Actually, Corey hasn't picked a company to sign with yet. Currently he's using Jackson KV2's, an ESP Dave Mustaine and his 7 string Dean live.

[kakashihatake1321]

hes on the jackson website as an official artist since about mid july

[RedShogun13]

No Corey went back to Jackson. He HAS played DBZ live before though but now he's strictly jackson.

[JsA345]

lol it was made months ago

[adrianisthemaster]

corey uses the green picks

"wow" lol he is awsome

[iBringTheHurt]

@adrianisthemaster -------I love my Green Dunlop .88's,I've been using them for a couple of years ago and won't use anything else,and can't comfortably.I Have to switch to a new one every 2-5 days though,depending on how,and how much I play.

I didn't know this at the time,when I switched to them,but several of my...and prob a large portion of the viewers of this video's major influences use them.Zakk wylde (I'm almost certain),Corey,James Heitfield,and many more I can't remember at the time.

[a7xmkfr]

matt white guitar with gold binding is now out at zzounds i saw but i wish they would have released before

[traheemer]

well his 7 string sig is pretty weird looking so maybe thats what he meant

[insatanwetrustslave]

Lol I know, so much for the RR and Explorer.

[BfmvLookAtMeNow]

LOL

"I like Vs"

[yasinpatel12345]

corey has a dope flying V

[LukeBodom]

i know. but i looked into buying one and those particular vids are $4,000.

that sux.

[AlexFromHell1993]

Hahaha what does he say at like 2:52? this-sss-this-ss-guy haha xD

[BADBAP]

Can someone tell me what strings are they using ?

[LukeBodom]

DR 9 - 46

[IRuleChaos]

10-50 DR

[SpawnCall]

Nowadays atleast Matt uses a 12 set of Dunlops

[KrankItVZ]

How does the dunlop straploks work???

[UponTheShores]

HE LIED ABOUT HIS SIGNATURE

[KrankItVZ]

how???

[UponTheShores]

coz its not a mix of them all

its an ml

lol

[KrankItVZ]

its more like a custom ml... which should be able to consider a signiture also... I guess

[UponTheShores]

yeah

i mean i consider his a signature

its just not the one he said he was gunna have

[LukeBodom]

this was done before they new exactly what the sig was going to look like.

[UponTheShores]

yeha

i know

i was only joking

[nehneh10]

V shape guitars just look sickingly sexy sometimes don't they?

[AshDrummer8]

YES!

[KrankItVZ]

I wanna gt those Razorback Vs... But I hav to import them... friggin Tax crap

[rama6maiden]

i think that they love maiden cause they were maiden t-shirts very often!

UP THE IRONS

[RedShogun13]

I use the same picks as corey lol

[punishersadvocate]

ya me to lol

[KrankItVZ]

wat is it?

Tortex or Tortex Jazz?

[RedShogun13]

Corey uses .88mm Tortex picks. The regular kind. The green ones.

Matt uses Dunlop Jazz III's in red.

[DeepSevenfold]

matt uses tortexs now i have one of his :P

[RedShogun13]

NICE

What color? The thickness can be told by what color the pick is (ex: The 88 millimeter ones are green)

[DeepSevenfold]

its purple. im not sure how thick the purple ones are, it doesnt say. just has trivium and matt heafys name in the style of metallicas logo!

[RedShogun13]

FUCK

of course it had to be the thickest one...The purple ones are 1.14 mm.

[ChristopherMajor10]

yeah, both matt and corey had to scrap their first choice signature guitars cos coreys ran into copyright issues and matts had technical difficulties

matt and corey have the prototypes but they were never mass produced

damn just realised the comment im replying to is a month old, oh well lol

[malakain900]

i kinda like these guys and i think razorbacks are awsome, but when matt talked about his signature guitar, the image i had in my head was NOTHING like it turned out to be, did anyone else think that???

[SYTL1]

I know. He says that he tried it but you just couldn't do it.

[mabsucksshit]

corey is such a legend.

[xXxDeath666CorexXx]

lol corey "picks, ummm , i dunno jus the green ones thats all i know,hehe" trivium are so awesome and tend to be pretty funny at times also Dime RIP!

[JAM66539]

what's with that taz guy's comment you can't bolt on a fretboard!! he could mean bolt on neck though... matt and corey are two of my favourite guitar players.

[PatternsInTheIvy2]

The nicest guitar in this vid is that blue ML sittin' in the back

[SkullxShard]

Yeah excellent vid, and they talk about her gear, but can someone tell me what effects or pedals (dist, etc) use when play the guitar?

[Rapture225]

they dont, they plug straight into the amp. which is a peavey 6505+ with a marshall cab(not sure which model though)

[RythemGuitarist]

marshal bv cab

[MetalUpTheAss19]

Corey must have said "umm" about 50 times.

[pokemonguy99]

i like v's

[r4v3nboy]

what amp they use ?? peavey 6505 ? or marshal's dsl or tsl

[megadeth773]

they use dsl and 6505 and peavy xxx

[TAZ8593]

i like dean guitars, but they need to lower their damn prices.

[Shaboobuhwogan]

yeah but the cheaper mustaine v is pretty good

[TAZ8593]

The cheaper mustaine v is shit dude, Bolt on rosewood fretboard & dean pickups. That is shit

[Shaboobuhwogan]

i played it and i liked so i guess its personal pref

[emmforever]

i love them but the price is like thta because they are really fine guitarrs and they deserve to be that price

[TAZ8593]

the ones with stock pickups, rosewood fretboard, and a licensed floyd rose isn't worth a 1000 dollars. But the Heafy signature is worth it

[HellBent4Metal]

yeah lethallergy i think your jeleous of these guitars, i hate trivium very fucking much as you can see, but theyre guitars are not only nice, but are the greatest sounding ive ever heard, nor used.

[Lethallergy]

I'm jealous of a guitar? That doesn't make sense.

And I don't like the design or feel on Dean guitars, not just them as a company. Not much of the sound really comes from the guitar, more the gear you use and techniquw. Deans are stupidly expensive, I could custom build a guitar and get as good a sound for about half, maybe a third of the price.

Bottom is, you don't know what you're talking about.

[HellBent4Metal]

get to work and make one then

[Lethallergy]

I will when I've finished my rack.

[Lethallergy]

I hate Dean guitars. Their whole market relies on impressionable little noobs buying ugly-ass Razorbacks so they 'Can PlaY Lyk t3h Dimez LOL!'.

[dizzyzack]

So true

[insatanwetrustslave]

LOL!!! But they are great guitars...I prefer Jackson.

[HellBent4Metal]

these guys have no idea what the fuck they are talking about. uhhh uhhh uhhh

retards die.

[iCoMmEnTuRaSs999]

lol stfu okay i bet u dont even know what a electric guitar is in the first place bitch stfu

[HellBent4Metal]

LOL Nope i dont, ya ok not only do i know the electric guitar i can play it better then these faggots.

[justin444555]

doubt it

[crazybmxer876]

lol then fucking post a video of you busting the fucking solo to walk or domination by pantera and lol dean guitars are amazing

[Lawyer524]

ok.

[paulgus666]

ok ur cool they would rape ur moms bumb

[JayJayMT]

its not bout being able to play better but being able to make good kikass music

[alexbtrivium]

coreys funny `umm umm there green`

cool tho i like the skulls design

[stockfret]

lmao coreys so drunk:P

[tetra3000]

suprised matt uses 10-50's (Dimebag Darrell Signature Set) for e standard, seems a bit heavy for that type of tuning?. Still a legend on guitar though :)

[metallideth83]

Jesus, when will people wake up and realize that Razorbacks SUCK? Honestly, they are just overpriced toys manufactured by 8 year old Chinese kids. Even the new MLs suck.  The best products Dean offers (or offered) are the original USA MLs. Those were fucking classic!

[fatalis111]

my guitar is better haha

alexi laiho special addition bitches haha

[basssungwoo]

Omg! u lucky asshole! i have an rr3. deans sucks though. and did matt really endorse gibsons back in the day?

[metalsinani]

i wouldnt ever want to use the esp alexi, i played one today in london and it was fucking bass ass, but i dont like playin a guitar another persons made so im stickin wuth the jackson rr24 (i hate actives so i changed the pickup)

[jamesstitt2]

i love deans but have u seen that jackson demmelition v?!?!?! fucking hell that is nice that...it would be a close call between a razorback V or one of those babies...at the moment its leanin towards the dean.

[xXx6Guitar6God6xXx]

lmao i have a jackson rr3 and an esp alxi:P

[Xtrovert4]

Straight up bro I used them picks too!

[hetfieldson]

oh!!! the new mh guitar!!! i fucking love it!!

it's beautiful you can see the video on the trivium website or dean website corey guitar it's ok but i don't like the shape too much! it's strange!

[TommyVenagence]

ive seen protytpes of their guitars there really really cool looking. i have it set as my background. i belive they will be released at the end of the month

[soulstorm72]

they have been released, and matt did NOT make a new body. Well, he did but it wasnt manufacturable, it loooked good tho. Now he just has an ML with a Jaanese flag design.

Corey has a custom V. Its a new body. Originally he was gonna use a special V where the ends kinda point back in towards the body, but another compant got pissed, so now his ew one looks kinda wierd

[TommyVenagence]

yea i seen them. i had wat they were original suposed to be like matt said a rhoads ml and explor in 1. if u want ill send u the pics

[soulstorm72]

ive seen em, thats what i was referring to in the first part of my comment. Matts star shaped thing and coreys V were sweet, but the final version of the v isnt that great. I REALLY want matts rhoads/ml prototype, but they cant mass produce it, which sucks

[TommyVenagence]

yea. i wanted matt 2 but instead i got a jackson rr3

[soulstorm72]

i got the white razor. I have a 15 second vid of it, but im gonna make a better vid.

[TommyVenagence]

ok ill check it out

[sully93]

hey i would love to see the pictures of matts original guitars if you could send them to me that would be great

[TommyVenagence]

yea ill send them to u wen i find again

[Reinvintingthesteel]

could you send me the pics on their seven strings i haven't seen em in detail

[TommyVenagence]

yea sure no problem. i just gotta find them again

[tetra3000]

lol the green ones, the dunlop 'greens ones' are .88mm's if anyone wants to know :p

[dgrule]

i dont think they aint that thick i use a dunlop 88 and thts grey so it proberbly a thiner one for easier swep picking.

[RichPatten]

Haha i love Corey interviews hes so great "the green ones" XD

[fill10000]

fuck yeah randy rhoads rules

[tetra3000]

matt uses 10-50's and coreys using 9-46's why is matt using thicker ones?

[a7xflo]

maybe he likes thick ones

[a7x6996]

because corey is the lead guitarist and he will be doing most of the solos and lighter strings are easier for that kinda stuff and matt is the rythym and heavey strings for that :D

[HeafyGuitar]

Yeh like for the heavy riffs you need the thicker strings with the lower tone and solos u gotta havem high especially for them high pitched squeals!

[a7x6996]

although corey seems like he doesnt know that much about his guitar "D

[HeafyGuitar]

Lol yh i love the dude but at time dnt look like he know much bout it um... i know i play them? lol

[ImmortalTomorrow]

I think that the Ascendancy album was the highpoint of their career.. now they gotten worse. They had their own style and everyone loved that but then they became the new metallica and their popularity really shrunk.. which sucks.. hope they get their heads on straight and come back to the "Trivium style" again.

[SuffocatingRain]

I'm not disagreeing with ya since Ascendancy was a complete masterpiece. With the Crusade however, it isn't the same but it doesnt suck. It's just a great band exploring their abilities and musical range...JUST LIKE METALLICA! Trivium kicks ass!

[southdownies]

what pedals do they use?????!!!!

[billandben18]

not sure bout corey but matt uses an ibanez tube screamer to drive his marshalls.

All their gear is on their website (more bands should do this) go nuts
