Kris Norris Solos

[girlpartz]

deliver us solo is hard as balls to do if your bad at sweeping like i am haha. awesome covers

[KillingWithASmile100]

@girlpartz Thats not a cover.

That would be Kris playing his own solos out of his own songs.

[runescapesidemona]

well, i found this out: he didnt leave, he was kicked out. i heard, tht his wife hated all the touring.

[runescapesidemona]

one thing i dont understand. dont be mad about it guys just an opinion but, why does he play it so different live than on album? like here. hes playing it like album version. but live it sounds soo...well...tbh, horrible. but hes still one of the most epic ive seen. he..beats slash. lol. still can anyone explain WHY THE FUCK MR NORRIS LEFT DH?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? MR NORRIS PLZ EXPLAIN!

[masterspy4]

@runescapesidemona i heard that they got extremely drunk when they played live. thats probably a major contribution. also, i find as a guitarist that sitting down while playing the guitar is easier than standing up.

[runescapesidemona]

@masterspy4 damn. im dumb..lol. ya. im much better playing sitting than standing. and getting drunk b4 goin out on stage is a normal thing for any band lol.

[sidvondoofus]

@runescapesidemona

I think it's best that things like this STAY personal. I'm sure Kris made a responsible reason for leaving and the last thing I would want is to deal with people wanting to know every detail about me. Wouldn't you?...

[runescapesidemona]

@sidvondoofus im not asking about every little detail nub. l2read. i just want to know why. not make me a bad person. gtfo or stfu plz.

[soaddictedghua]

one of the few musicians i admire.

[Nathaly074]

thats not fair why him WHY!!

[tgd02]

Master.

[superhuper1]

what do you exspect if somebody is called norris? :D that he is bad? -No!!

kirs norris i a legend!!!!

\m/

[ArtificialFlavaFTB2]

I just cant do the first part of Doomsayer solo, only thing holding me back

[Jr3ll]

DARKEST HOUR SHOULDNT BE UNDERATED

[IKhaosS]

wasn't he for darkest hour?

[igotwoodhaha]

I read somwhere that "Runelore" is a melodic black metal band of a 1 man solo project. Is it really kris norris?? Because I can't find any of the music.

[LilRockinHailey]

@igotwoodhaha first song is Tunguska solo

[rudymane]

\m/

[SpiritAssasin]

that's one of kirk hammet's signature guitars

COOL \m/

[titoelpimp]

It's also a guitar killrbuckeye uses :), ESP right?

[bobbybob55]

killrbuckeye has the cheap one

xD

[titoelpimp]

He makes it sound godly lol

[miguel17ribeiro]

amazing

you just need to listen more music .

you need something more.

belive me...

keep the good job!!!!

[theasylumgirl15]

Big Fan Kriss!!!!!) your amazing with the guitar:)

[7TaYL0R7]

You're amazing dude. \m/ \m/

[cortVXguitar]

LOVE U KRIS BIG FAN

[Double0rchid]

I just came.

[6youngfretshredder9]

i demand the sweeps from demons

[guitarfreak2105]

Same here!!!!!!!!!!!

[0DANHALEN0]

I absolutely love Kris's string skipping techniques. So sick.

[nightwhatchman]

Anyone else notice the Alexi-600 in the background?

[superjesus117]

Yar.  Hes got the ESP Standard Alexi and the 600

[nightwhatchman]

I fucking love ESP.

[EtherealSunrise]

I'm not talking about that section I'm talking about his tone in general. It's probably just the poor video quality though

[EtherealSunrise]

is he using some kind of synth effect? because it sounds like he's playing a violin

[DreadEnds]

Nah man its just the style of tapping...

2 finger tapping gives off this kind of effect.

[guitarfreak2105]

No, he is just that good.

[achewyrock]

1:32 to 1:43 definitely sounds like something from a Buckethead song.

[sepulturadeathrule]

i agree he is a underrated guitar player

[DarkestHour47]

although hes not as famous as he should be hes already a legend in my book

[drlaza]

@DarkestHour47 yeah he would deserve much more attention and fame, and i hope he will get it sooner or later, id really love to see him between those really big names like satriani or so

[Rainnnny]

is that string skipping at 0:38 ?

[tim2507]

yes. it is :-D

[thefrail86]

That part at 0:42 gets me every time. Sounds sooo awesome.  I'm jealous of his skills.

[copeman89]

fuck yeah, i thought that was tapped for the longest time haha

[superjesus117]

HI KRIS

I saw you playing with God Forbid last tuesday at the Boston House of Blues.

Great show man.

I wanted to meet you really bad, but I got confused and though you were playing with as I lay dying instead

It wasn't until I was leaving did I realize you were with GF, and by the time I made it down to the Merch booth you were gone.... Lame

[paperboy128]

Heyyy now I see a familiar lookin Alexi 600 in the back!! ;D

[UntamedWalrus]

anyone else think his tone is sick?

[Deylan06]

its sooo smooth sounding

[LukeNikolau]

That 2nd last one reminded me of Jordan Solo B from GH2 :P lol nice man, 5 starred

[Killcows]

I think that's Full Imperial Collapse in case you want to download it if you haven't already

[yngwiejunior]

HAHA u'r right!!! LOL xD

[Bryceisbetterthanyou]

thats the solo to tunguska dude

[Deylan06]

queer

[deathdragon123]

LOL and which avenged song is that solo from then

[a7xfreak97]

the first solo was an avenged sevenfold solo but ur pretty good

[bloodstruck0]

Lol....Dude, that is not an avenged solo.

[DarkestHour47]

no ..... not avenged NEVER AVENGED kris only plays real music

[MrHaxasaurus]

It's actually the solo from Darkest Hour's "Tunguska", but nice try.

[virtuastudios]

what do you mean nice try? if you werent so ignorant and read the descrition he actually didn't say it was his, but a practise collection. or maybe it's me being ignorant, but I think in this case my brain isnt deceiving me.

[MrHaxasaurus]

All of these solos are Kris Norris' creations. The person in the video playing the guitar is Kris Norris who is a former member of the band Darkest Hour.

These are facts, sir.

[virtuastudios]

yeah, it was me being ignorant. thanks for a civilised reply.

[copeman89]

yeah, wtf... this is the GUY WHO FUCKING CREATED THIS SHIT ON THIS VIDEO.

kris norris is kris norris

[carlhudsonmusician18]

Those are all awesome. Scales, sweeps, Tapping. Damn...my right hand is f'ing jealous.

[icansplayguitar2]

gah, Kris how do u get that sound! the one that makes ur sweeps sound all bubbly or flute-ish. I JUST LOVE IT!

[KeyoorKiki]

Nice man, well done you kick ass

[METALLICAGUYRJ]

kh 202 or kh2??

[FastrTHNu]

HAHAHA You pulled the 6 finger taps out... not bad.

Wait till ya get that fast with all 8 and string skipping... Tis fun!

check out "Sean Lane" R.I.P

SICK solo's!!

[deathdragon123]

does the first solo (tunguska) have tapping?

[ujustgotdropped]

no just really fast scale forms ahaha

[P5ych00]

anyone know where the tab is on the deliver us solo? the two on guitar pro look wrong

[DanielSan86]

This dudes new solo album is incredible

[onyourfeet]

can anyone tell me the name of the song the second solo is from for reason i cant fuckin remember

[Malice197]

doomsayer

[gronow]

avenged sevenfold.................. LOL the fact that the descrption says " practicing solos from Deliver Us" would kinda be a give away its not tht avenged sevenfold crap tbh

[Marshall787878]

Dude he is the guitarist for darkest hour...

[CADAVERGRINDER]

i guess im going to have to be the first to say this

mike carrigan sucks ass that brandon spennies dude doesnt know shit of what hes talking about i saw darkest hour live and then their performance on fuel tv

NOT IMPRESSIVE the only talent left in that band is john henry and ryan perish

mike didnt play the solos he left it to shitbomb. who brutally butcherd the solos to where the solo ruined the song. thanks for leaving kris you left darkest hour in a hole of shit

[RobbieM5290]

He's so CLEAN with his sweeps here! Amazing, may Darkest hour still rock without him!

[dvaifilmsdotcom]

damn for real hes out?

i watched this guy live 2 feet from me, really makes you realize his talent.

[RobbieM5290]

Yeah, they've recruited Mike Carrigan to fill in on lead guitar, just check out Darkest Hour's website, Wikipedia, MySpace and even some recent live performances here on YouTube. He's amazing, consider yourself lucky to have seen him live on stage!

[takingbackmavis]

Quit whining. Darkest Hour has had a ton of lineup changes, and have always delivered.

[JeenyusSG]

can i cry now that hes gone? :(

[Doomsayer9250]

Hes not gone. He may not be in Darkest Hour anymore but dudes got a new solo project coming out soon :D

[jclp81]

@JeenyusSG whatt do you mean by gone?

[amoebaarmageddon]

@jclp81 He's not in darkest hour anymore.

[BTBAM14]

I see your using the kirk hammett custom.

[RPExecutor]

i must have that tunguska solo tab! anyone know where to find it?

godly solos, there's not much else to say on this subject

[Tubolicious82]

aww fuck, there goes one of my favorite bands. Dude why does this happen to every band I love??? FUCK!!!!!!!!!!

[rollondough]

The new guitarist that will replace Kris in Darkest Hour is from a local band from my town. The band's name is At All Cost. They're good, but I can't see Michael Carrigan living up to Kris.

I just really want to know what Kris is going to be up to.

[BTBAM14]

those sweeps in ethereal drain are sooo clean I love it.

[BTBAM14]

what the fuckkkk, first AJ from The Human Abstract leaves and now Kris leaves:[

It must be the cool thing to do.

[korn56]

1:32 lol, where can i find tabs for that??

[Soulreaper066]

lol its a buckethead exercise also known as Semitones, or "finger nub"

[TheLostTruckDriver]

Darkest Hour didn't need someone this good that's why. He was holding back too much, but yet at the same time Kris needed to be in the band and explore himself and that style.

[swiminon]

this is why i shred. thanx kris

[SquallazCore]

Why did he leave darkest hour? He was amazing with the guitar....

[deathdragon123]

why leave darkest hour :(

[MyIdentityCrisis]

i wish there were a close up on the fingers

i cant believe he left Darkest Hour

[drlaza]

sad to hear that, hope the new guitarist will be at least this good, but wont be able to replace him, thats for sure

[ezra420]

kris cannot be replaced :(

darkest hour = fail now in my books..

i know its harsh after being a die hard fan and thrashing in every pit at every show they have played in toronto or area since dh was born... its fucking terrible

[cycopl]

wtf? Kris Norris wasn't in DH since the beginning, they were good before he was in the band, they were good while he was in the band. I'm sure they can still be good without him as well.

[DarkestHourRock]

thought they wont be the same without Kris, i dont want to say they're over. They're writing a new album now, we'll see how that goes.

[brandon5pennies]

depressing thought though cause i've already seen mike carrigan butcher kris's solos some of them he can't even play i doubt he plays doomsayers solo live cause it's hard as hell

[poopface541]

i saw them a couple of months ago on the thrash and burn tour and you are right he doesnt play the doomsayer solo

[drlaza]

how crap... kris left, darkest hours gone. this is what happened to fear my thougts as well, with the singer changed

[odoyle313]

tabs tabs tabs!

[MyNameIsNotBrian]

I honestly would kill to play like him. Especially that Ethereal Drain solo!

[DarkestHourRock]

Yeah lol. An Ethereal Drain's solo is amazing, my favorite out of all of his. I wonder if Darkest Hour is going to make another music video for their Deliver Us album.

[MyNameIsNotBrian]

Just sucks that the bass, rythm guitar, and drums totally drain it out the best part of it (the sweep section) on the album.

[drlaza]

there are no words how beautiful he can play. awesome man, extremely awesome

[chargerriv]

omg can you PLEASE send me the Tunguska tabs or sheet music or anything for that solo... i cannot find it anywhere

[KAKKIpulli]

heyyyy :S where's the fast sweeping part of the deliver us solo??? =(

[brandon5pennies]

i think he's one of the sickest guitarists out there nowadays but my favorite remains paul waggoner of btbam.

[Minihuse]

I can't agree more.

Pwag plays much better live than kriss norris

[Jakeanater123]

darkest hour fucking rock. and its awesome how well they go together while playing oblivion on the xbox 360.

[tctebsrules]

it sounds so smooth

[guitarspring]

hes so good he harmonizes his sweeps witch most guitarist dont do

[atimetokill7]

he is such an underrated guitarist. uugghhh he needs his own signature guitar. he's definitely my favorite guitarist. and darkest hour is my favorite band.

kris is a beat, nuff said.

[atimetokill7]

beast*

haha.

[DarkestHourRock]

Yeah I agree with you man. Kris Norris is my favorite too, along with Darkest Hour. Always putting their Cd's in front of everyone elses in stores whenever I see em.

[atimetokill7]

hahah. good idea. never thought of that.

he need a fucking signature guitar! it'd be sick if he has one.

[spartankiller11]

dude nice job. Cool guitar. The settings you have it on sound realy cool.

[SKSC]

Oh Kris Norris how you slay at guitar

[hoodoo6x6x6]

An Ethereal Drain really is one of the coolest songs... so far hopefully.

I´m too crappy to hear the notes out or even follow his fingers in the clip.

WE NEED TABS!!! Runelord...ouch Runel o r e

help us!!!

[caparison092]

you did the buckethead tapping, i love you

[Juneaucl]

Hay i got the 2 dvds!! you r awesome!!, but wath pick do u use? 1 mm?

[Nouta90]

An ethereal drain has to be like the greatest song you've ever created kris. I wish I could find a tab.

[gregcryfire]

kris that sucked lol jk

duded u are my good

u dont understand i try to play guitar like but i just cant its fucking hard

and doomsayer tour was one of my favorite tours i went to the houston and i think it was san antonio show

[Nouta90]

Well no wonder you cant play guitar, you have no confidence. Dont tell yourself you just cant play, instead just play and keep playing until your good. Just to warn you though, the guitar may destroy a good portion of your social life, as you will start to sound good and never wanna stop playing.

[Smkeybare10]

and Tunguska!!

[Smkeybare10]

Doomsayer is one of my favorite solos

[Juneaucl]

I try to download the digital version of the dvd. and i couldnt, I lost 10 dollars

[Erock5718]

loved the buckethead tapping bit.

[Juneaucl]

hey man, you really rocks! what pick do u use??

[brandon5pennies]

he uses intune guitar picks with the darkest hour logo on it they're basically like dunlop picks buy his dvds he tells all of his gear he uses basically

[leckal]

How did u build up your speed?

U got some advise for beginners?

[Slipperyboomer]

start slow

i know its boring but you will be really surprised how much it helps

[leckal]

I know that it's important to start very slow.

But what about exercises like the "petrucci exercise" ? Because that's acutally the only one i go through from time to time.

[Juneaucl]

you rock man!!, come to ecuador again please!!!!

[DarkestHourRock]

Simply amazing. DARKEST HOUR FUCKING ROCKS!

[Ghostship702]

God I wish I could find tabs for Tunguska.

[rockbandvids]

second solo was godlike

[Rainnnny]

amazing :D darkest hour rocks

[bloodstruck0]

DUDE, You fucking slay!

Those are mad solo's.

You kick ass bro.

and you should really get your own custom ESP..

I'd so buy it. or two =P

Keep shredding brother!

[JesterialInsanity]

Damn man, hahaha, you're good, you should be in a band :p.

[adamweber1]

Dude! it's Kris Norris from Darkest Hour!!!! he is in a band, haha

[brandon5pennies]

tunguska! and doomsayer! =]

[acrality]

You had me excited to see Demons :/

Full Imperial Collapse was quite badass, though. :P
