Holier Than Thou cover with solo - Metallica

[McCheeseKid]

Wow, that's a real.. real nice guitar you got there ... Nice cover as well!

[KJBPSkipper]

Great cover...only thrash song on that album...probably the best song on that album.

[hughesj94]

@PovZ123 fuck that. Give that shit a pinch harmonic.

[PovZ123]

On that 3rd fret on the E string...give it more vibrato. Seriously. Gives it more sounds quality.

[Allyinchains]

That has to be the most kick ass jackson iv ever seen

[mateo2711ify]

I like that 'less is more' approach on your guitar. Nice cover, well played.

[1996Ibanez]

ok...i know i'm goin to sound like a complete idiot but could u please give me a couple tips for the riff that comes right before the solo? i just can't seem to get it down. :/

[Mietalnerd]

Awsome cover! I love your guitar too x)

[DeepInsideTA]

what pickup do you use??

[DrSlackBladder]

@DeepInsideTA

In this guitar it's a Seymour Duncan Iommi.

[CreepingDeath1100]

no offence but it was out of time during the verse riff and the intro was wrong

[thebigchillman]

@CreepingDeath1100 if u mean the wah wah sounden thing thats the bass

[TheHeavensGAMERS]

too much attack ! (guitar)

[DrSlackBladder]

@TheHeavensGAMERS

Too much attack? - for Metallica?!

[HRNDONE]

@TheHeavensGAMERS No such thing as too much attack for Metallica. James plays EVERYTHING down picking. THAT'S called attack

[neonarco]

that was awesome dude!!! cool guitar by the way

[YourFather1995]

2:28 - 3:16 Best Part! 

[danielflasher95]

good cover man, i only have one doubt, why don't you downpick it? most Metallica's songs are downpicked in parts where its reasonable to downpick. i know it doesn't affect much of the sound, but its an essential part in playing Metallica. great playing, though

[dante4d]

@danielflasher95 Well it makes a big difference when you can downpick with ease. Then it sounds much tighter and heavier.

[danielflasher95]

@dante4d now that i think of it, it really changes how it sounds, plus it adds the fun of playing metallica

[dante4d]

@danielflasher95 I'd have to spend ages practicing to make my downstroke and upstroke have the same tone and accent. But playing everything down is easy, just a matter of building up stamina in the wrist and staying relaxed...

[danielflasher95]

@dante4d i have to say i can downpick holier than you and its not that hard, well compared for example to master, thats a hard song to downpick all along, even though some people find it easy. its really up to how much you practice and how or with what songs that require it you practice, i found practicing downpicking with blackened and through the never, theyre kinda hard at the beginnin but they get you up to speed...sigh all for the holy grail of metallica downpicking, master of puppets

[BOpsMaster]

your good, but i hate the jackson line of V's. personal opinion of course though

[filpekkfoek]

great solo man...you´re great

[Levi61092]

SICK!

[drpepper593]

tabs?



[Richard041209]

good job..

[NBJ97]

GREat cover ! TAB`s?

[DrSlackBladder]

@NBJ97

Thanks. I bought the tab books for most Metallica albums.

[fredito24]

You used a Pedal or something? :D

[DrSlackBladder]

@fredito24

A wah pedal, as explained in the video description.

[RakionKaos]

JACKSON RHOADS IS WHERE ITS AT!!!!!!!!!!

[TheLovegun12]

nice video \m/ metallica rulez 

[lynyrd01skynyrd13]

Did anyone else notice the lighting dim after he started playing?

[mrwesleyownz]

@lynyrd01skynyrd13

His mad shredding made the world dim.

[DowntownTB13]

@lynyrd01skynyrd13 thats because of the vibrations. it made the camera shake a little bit, and it makes the light seem to dim, it's weird

[illfaint]

u rule man! how long have you been playing for?

[DrSlackBladder]

@illfaint

Check my channel for details and more covers!

[roqfreak97]

sick ass fuck

[somatder]

Well played, and I really like your Jackson, it looks bloody awesome

[RubenCastill]

realy liked the intro dude sick video 5/5

[Erithlon]

what is that thing you have in the effects loop?

[DrSlackBladder]

It's just a short cable. It's a simple mod that somehow increases gain slightly. I read about it, didn't believe it, tried it, and it works!

[x1ic1x]

nice cover

[filthymucker]

I like it man! :D

Very nice crisp sound you've got

[Somis54]

no doubt that this is one of metallica's most meaning full songs that portrays peoples images.

and music wise, very well put together. have to say the Black Album was there last best album besides Death Magnetic which has a couple good songs

[jordan420metallica]

@Somis54 you obviously havent heard load or reload

[B2Rockin]

Dude that was BEAST!!! \m/

[SoullDrain]

Great.

I love all your covers.

[PanamaSabroso]

Thats a beautiful guitar man. Those pentagrams are awesome. And not to mention the green jackson logo on the headstock

[lp21046]

what a beautiful guitar man soo beautiful! how much was she?

[DrSlackBladder]

Thanks.  I imported from the US to the UK when the pound was strong; USD1000.

[MyGreatFall]

Fucking awesome man!

[smiley0800]

Sweet! How much 4 the guitar ; )

[DrSlackBladder]

Thanks. About £600. I imported it from the US when the pound was strong last year.

[DiDi80293]

I don't find the guitar really beautiful but excellent!

[unitard08]

are those pentagrams on the fretboards?

[DrSlackBladder]

Yes, in mother-of-pearl!

[wowzerz1its2a3guitar]

whats the red cable in ur fx loop do?

[DrSlackBladder]

I read that it gives a gain boost somehow; I tried it and it works. Seems to give a slightly more saturated overdrive.

[kingofjupitersmoons]

um sorry to be negative but u lost track of some triplets throughout other than that fuckin spot on, specially the harmony and the solo

[gefe2605]

you are the law

this song is the law

metallica rules !!!

[DrSlackBladder]

Thanks. My Welcome Home cover is better!

[MetallicAn1989]

hey man this solo is fucking awesome 5/5...

[TommittajaFIN]

hi, you should shoot every video from that angle: the quality seems better and we can see the guitar more clearly.. so compare them.... 5*

[bonchasilark]

what pick up is that? love celestion speakers (:

[DrSlackBladder]

Pickup is a Seymour Duncan twin rail Iommi, sometimes called Diablo.

[Korrupt0r]

Dam your pull off sound great i realy dont know how to play it like that

[MadMikeMcMad]

Amazing as usual. Previously not one of my favourites but the sound of the guitar just stands out so much!

[Cronositoerenano]

Omg, room changin means that you will seem like a god? Because the guitar is more brilliant and it's like:

"I'm holier than you"

Ok, leave me alone.

[DrSlackBladder]

???

[Cronositoerenano]

I'm just telling that you are a guitar hero. xD

[Minimi7893]

great keep on working on Metallica...rock on!!!

[FeelTheFight]

Of course 5/5, you rock. I love solo.

[CreedofCorpsesTV]

[ShredThatGuitar]
