  •  love your lessons..............easy to follow...well done

  • Thanks for the vid, Mr. McGee. Subbed :)

  • Love Dave and W2F's energy. \,,/

  • the little licks are awesome, and the way he makes them is really cool, but when he puts everything together, it just doesnt seem 100% right. Still, very helpfull lesson

  • Cannibal corpse can't even make a descent metal song! 

  • so you don't have to use scales to playmetal,i mean for solos of course,but ive looking it up and looking it up and finally i have my answer, now i can stop using the minor harmonic scale over and over and over again,and diminished over and over again

  • haha Likable guy and likable riffs!!!

    I think I need to see the rest of them as well.

  • Thanks for the lesson :)

  • Nice death metal sounds!

  • You play well!Thanks for the lesson

  • i like how the three examples are EXTREMELEY different bands

  • Watching him work his left hand reminds me of Jimi Hendrix.

    Keep on rockin dude.

  • i would love to hang out with this guy!

  • If you rock at guitar, i couldn`t care less if you are black, i`d be glad to know more black people play guitar, since blacks invented blues, which is the foundation of metal..

  • who is so stupid to dislike him because is black... o yea some assholes from here that think colour is important for a man who sings at guitar xD..

  • I bet you all the people that disliked this. Disliked it because he is black. Seriously you cunts really need to grow the fuck up and stop being such racists fucks. This guy is fucking awesome and has way more talent than some wannabe gangster rapper like 50 cent.

  • you pepol understant music so wrong but it doesnt mean that u r bad or somthing dont be stubied and um not saying the um the only one who knows the true purpose of music its just my opinion because there is nothing called fact ..

    music is the ultimate pressure (for me)....

    um i empty minded ?? may be but i dont care as long as i belive right

    so its complitly up to u to decide what touches your soul and its not constant and sure it will not be .

    so dont hate.just appreciat the effort and lev

  • bad ass keep it metal

  • your videos are really helpful bro. im actually getting my technical death metal band together Imbued Blood so I'm pretty stoked.

  • @theawakener7 You are false. The CDC has proven that AIDS cannot pass through latex.

  • Oh yeah. Black People also likes heavy genres.XD ( that was not a racist comment )

  • @theawakener7 Cracker ass cracker...LOL!!

  • great lesson, really helpful, could you show a lesson of you breaking down the death metal variation?

  • Yall just cant stop with the color thing cant you?sad.

  • @theawakener7 fuck you

  • Slayer, a neo-nazi band? Just because they wrote songs like Angel of Death and Behind the Crooked Cross? Grow up. I guess that makes Exodus a band of potential school shooters for writing a song like Class Dismissed, then?

  • @uome20bukz Slayer is not a neo nazi band, the only reason that they performed the song was because that one of the guitarist was interrested in National-socialism = Nazi, and that doesent mean that they are neo nazi or nazi :D

  • Why can't more black people be cool like this guy? This guy is awesome!

  • @TheMetalisBack so the only reason hes cool is cause hes metal?you obviously don't know shit about us.

  • He plays Slayer and he doesn't even know that Slayer is a fucking neo-nazi band --' But that's cool, u rule dude ;)

  • @AyaKization slayer is not a neo-nazi band, where the hell did you get that idea from?

  • @AyaKization

    fuck u^^

    get some information before u blame one of the greatest bands in metal beeing nazis.

  • SUNNY! ALWAYS SUNNY! CALIFORN-I-A

  • All right! Free lessons. What's the catch? Oh.. And I am a black guitar players as well. Anything from Floyd to Sevendust (Well like Sevendust can't play much of it)... So...

  • All right! Free lessons. What's the catch?

  • I love how this guy is always making his videos funny, entertaining, and helpful all at the same time. This actually looks hard to play. SO, I'm gonna get right on that!

  • @mechaghostman2 lol after you get the coordination it's easy.

  • this guy suck big d...ck 

  • he should grow long hair and play metal

  • stupit had , fuck

  • @theawakener7 seriously, that's the most racist thing I've heard, and it's not even funny.

  • @1xDRCx no not really. he does sorta look like will smith. Its only racist because you think like that in your head.

  • @Disnamesucksass you a idiot man.

  • lol the next Hendriks

  • lol he's so high

  • it sounds something that cannibal would write then slayer

  • lol, i seen the black dude and thought, well i hope he's not obnoxious like all the other ones, then the first words he said just flabbergasted me lol

  • THREE DAWWG OOOWWWWWW!

  • what is this crap about a "black"guy playing metal sh!t? He is a man who has a passion for music and a creativity. He gives his knowledge freely. I say FULL respect to the man and let his musicianship talk. Peace.

  • i like this guy, i never saw a black man playing metal

  • @MrMetaldude777 dude u should chek me out than lol

  • a black guy in metal? NICE!

  • @sorryuhitstaken Check out Suffocation

  • @DeathMetalDeth you're way cooler than all those racist mother fuckers that listen to country, racist metal heads are soooo much cooler!!!!!

  • 100 points!... i win!.. your English is so good.

  • 100 points!... i win!

  • Farmer's tan-very metal! :D

  • I expected another expertvillage-like fail but this is great

  • You Rocks!

  • Are you in a band? i was wondering cause i wanna hear you play with other instruments. your really good!

  • The only thing I didn't like about this video is that I can't hear his guitar, I think the compressor he's using is killing his tone. it's like cutting in/out and it makes his playing hard to hear. He needs to either take the compressor/Noise Gate off, or turn off the reverb..

    Or better yet, plug into the audio input his mic's in so we can hear him easier/better.

    Still, a great lesson for newbs to metal playing. Lots of great basic riffs.

  • this dude is awsome

  • who is this terrorist playing the guitar? lol jk... no one has been rascist in these comments so i dont know why people are telling no one to shut up about his blackness :O

  • @wildboy789789

    i think all these guys are replying to each other ... :D

  • this guy is my new idol

  • fuckin awesome!!!

  • for the people thinking black guys cant be metal, i only have one name. suffocation, 'nuff said.

  • he is black, and a good guitar player. what does one have to do wiith the other. fuck there are killer players that are black! look up STONE VENGEANCE, BODY COUNT AND SO ON!

  • why does everyone say stuff about blacks never liking metal or hardly any blacks in metal.i know more white people who listen to shitty dance music than metal and im sure most people do so why not mention that ?

  • hes.... black!

  • haha so funny that he mentioned Dying fetus and suffocation in a metal video lession!

    GO DEATH METAL!!!

  • Its Chimaira not Chimeara. (uploader)

  • @DeathMetalDeth racist much?

  • haha,hes kinda funny! :D

    nd good! \m/

  • this guy really knows what he's talking about, I couldn't have agreed more with this lesson!

  • he sounded like the guy from unforgivable in the beggining

  • lol you guys are assholes i never thought a single thing about him being black until i read the comments and rap doesnt suck its just main stream rap that gives it a bad name either that or your just a racist person who doesnt what ever a black person does lol...... i hate the degrading thing about alot of new rap but hey the woman will still like it lol metal chicks dont play that shit they will punch a black guy in the face..... black guys are human man we are all human.

  • He was right about the bands at the end

  • Black people shoud only be in the metal scene. Rap sux ass!

  • @Jimlead YESSIR >:D, and besides, every1 has a musical oppinion

  • @Tenarusa I will quote one name: Jimi Hendrix.

  • Someone teach him how to get a good tone 1st.

  • god dammit people, why cant you just watch a video without talking about race, if he was white none of these conversations would be goin on, just chill the fuck out and play some metal, god damn

  • this guy is high

  • No matter how hard I try, I can't find hardcore metal lessons.

    This is shit.

    Everything people pose as "hardcore" "brutal" or "Death metal" on here is complete and utter BULLSHIT.

    just quit with the false accusations of metal. It's pissing me off.

  • @wpyKiller its not so hard. just find a good tuning (drop c#)

    and learn from playing other metal core songs. like. the chord styles, because they are different from any other genre of playing. its really fun once you get it down. .

  • Nice! Thx

  • I actually liked this lesson. It actually helped me quite a bit to come up with own ideas.

  • First interesting metal lesson I've found on youtube...

  • does this guy remind any1 eles of howard of killswitch HAHA

    just a tiny tiny bit

  • @teenaussie Yeah! he reminds mee of howard! Thats true! :D

    Great band btw, killswitch engage!!

  • Chimaira plays in Drop C, and Cannibal Corpse plays in B/Bb. For the love of whatever god you follow, STOP WITH THE FUCKING "METAL" LESSONS. It always sounds like some shitty Anthrax riff. I know you're a good guitarist, but this really has to stop. Your so called "Metal" lessons suck balls.

  • @darkjedi1993 Metal can be played in any tune. Metallica, megadeth, and Sabbath are mostly in E tuning. In this video he talks about how those bands add to the basic open palm muting riffs. To be true, that riff sounded a bit like a slowed down slayer riff, and it was really cool.

    And dont dare say that Anthrax makes crappy riffs. You belong in a MADHOUSE.

  • @darkjedi1993 Actually, Cannibal Corpse played in Eb on the early records. Hell, Obituary's first album was in E standard. Your ability to play metal isn't limited by your tuning, it's limited by your talent, which this guy's got plenty of.

  • @Metalcortaku yeah! Slayer, Deicide as well HALF STEP TUNING! Flat tuning! if im gonna make my own style or own music its definitely half tuning..

  • I bet my nazi shit could kick your emo ass

  • This guy is good

  • Are you guys all retarded? Color doesn't matter, dudes. Guys Suffocation's lead guitarist and drummer are black. Anyway good playing, I love trills.

  • now he does much better here. ok keep the prs.. lol

  • This guys great, silly too..subbed!

  • yeah. music doesn't need to be critic based on race. that's plain racism. music is what you feel from your heart. and this guy is really good. everyone can shred the guitar. but it's the feeling that you need to make it sound perfect. that's how steve vai got so good and famous!

  • who cares if hes black......all rock music was born from the blues anyways..hes pretty good...

  • U dont need to be white to be metal, my mate whos indian loves iron maiden and megadeth.

  • Fuck off lech...

  • This guy is so bad ass, open minded and versatile...I see one Lesson and it Stanley Jordan style shit and then I see another and it Cannibal Corpse, Slayer and Chimaria,Suffocation and Dying Fetus!! hell yeah!!! keep it up!

  • Nigger...

  • @696SHITHEAD696 Your nickname says it all.

  • @696SHITHEAD696 your a fag...that word isn't even controversial anymore, the only people who say it are crying out for attention

  • @696SHITHEAD696 Don't be an idiot, who cares??? Go and listen to your 3 chord nazi crap.

  • @696SHITHEAD696 You're such a cunt.

  • fuck this new youtube!!! why the fuck does it load slow as shit on some videos?!?! i want the old one back!!

  • Like Michael Myers!!!!

  • is he stoned?

  • *Chimaira

  • Thanks. Googled "Chimeara" and nothing turned up!

  • Check out pure hatred, and the venom inside from Chimaira.

  • @ObscureBeast Chimaira is lame

  • I never said they were good, or bad.

  • what tuning are you in?

  • that's an easy one... what i'd like to know is how he gets his tone. Anybody know?

  • @pad9

    Lots of bass, lots of (undefined) rectifier-like distortion, too much reverb, no highs and even less mids... yeah, that's pretty much it.

  • @601271

    Don't get caught up on the terminology, instead pay attention to what is actually played.

    Besides no one has asked you to put up a lesson video, nor will anyone ever ask.

  • BLACK METAL!!!!

  • HAHAHAHAHA LOL !!! Just cuz he's Black ... ? HAHAHA That was funny !

  • what kind of amp are you playing out of?

  • he's so high ^^

  • i laughed so fucking hard at 3:10

  • ahah thx for this vid

  • he is so animated haha

  • Wait he already is lol

  • what type of his PRS? custom 24? or what?

  • yeah

  • It's a CE. The neck is bolt-on maple.

  • If I could down tune, I would play heavier shit I guess. I just have a FR on this Ibanez I've got, so I incorporate chords.

  • Is this guy drunk? Lol.

  • nice tats bro

  • i love his tone

  • great job

  • its cause hes black u guys think his riffs suck dont lie....good job bro

  • @shawnzal1 Suffocation have black bandmembers so do Blasphemy. It's a shame people are ignorant

  • @shawnzal1 YES! how did you know?!

  • Love this guy

  • This guy is an epic WIN

  • dis guy is just a epic win!!!! and i have the same face el expression wen i play hahah

  • prob better to use the tone name of the string rather than "2nd" or "3rd" because most people think of those as the B and G strings not A and D....

  • actually you count from thinnest to thickest string, so the 2nd and third strings ARE the B and the G string (:

  • Needs new distortion, also

    cowbell.
