Alexi Laiho-Single Note Riff Into A Heavy Rhythm

[AdvancedBBear]

Fucking sweet guitar

[aNy1UT]

omg, his tone is awful

[dragonanimus]

Very Fun riff to play!!

All haters should just chill and actually learn some guitar!!

[xXsvartsmurfXx]

@stanleystinks69 Oh yeah? only bcuz he´s got a pink guitar and nailpolish means he´s gay.

GROW A PAIR  adn yes my english aint the best but watcha gonna do?

[DylanDoubleYou]

I seriously think CoB is sooo lame, but that riff is pretty sick.

[flediX]

@DylanDoubleYou Why do you think CoB is lame?

[Sanny1064]

dude that is a beast guitar!!

[TaxiToHell]

@Sanny1064 Jacksons are better :P

[sparingjet]

i think children of bodom is the better death metal band in this world

[VectisAgents]

I so want a guitar like his. 'Cept change the pink to bloodred. That'd be sweet.

[Varguitas10]

Song?

[rokinrussian]

do his guitars only have one pickup?

[A53R0]

@rokinrussian yeah

[IronicusPaladin]

nail varnish is for faggots

[Musicfrommitchell]

@IronicusPaladin Yeah, but Alexi is cooler than you are.

[jcyeahful]

@IronicusPaladin no aint i know plenty of people who wear including me and am not a fag infact right now ive got a cracked rib after trying to kickfilp a huge 9 set

[95epiphone]

is it me or does his pickup at 4:00 say seymour duncan?

[EmilRacing]

@95epiphone He used to use seymour duncan in his Jacksons'. Now that he uses ESP he uses EMG.

[dimebaghudson]

alexi laiho



[GitarrSnubben666]

Dimebag is a fucking legend.

[Jacksonguitarbeast]

@ all haters. Alexi Laiho is nog only a good guitar player, but also a good composer. This riff is maybe not the most difficult one to play, but music isn't about that. If you can play faster than this and shred like the motherfucker but you can't just get a nice melody out of it, you will become nothing more but a piece of dipshit liking your own guitar riffs.

If you wanna thumb this up or down, do what you want, but I dont give flying fuck about it.

[1016Freedom1016]

@Jacksonguitarbeast I'm pretty you can make a fast good riff thats difficult but you can make a not so fast and not so difficult that is very god.

: / I think you just ranted on about random shit to make that guitarist look better, I'm not dissing him or metal or any style of music btw.

If someone is good you can make a fast good difficult riff, or a slow good not difficult or really difficult riff. just depends on the person thats playing the guitar writing the stuff

[KnightofPhantasm]

@Jacksonguitarbeast way to go, my friend ^^

DON'T HATE THE HATE CREW!!! xD

[iCecilJackson]

Im not one of those thumbs up if you like *insert here* bitches, but seriously thumbs up if this guy is totally over rated .

[pesciro]

@iCecilJackson

Cute nails and pink guitar though. Very masculine...

[GatesRoolz]

@iCecilJackson fucking. fail.

[WereRabbbit]

@iCecilJackson Dont judge him by a crappy practice video. Its not like its his best work, its just a video.

[noposition]

@iCecilJackson I could say the same fucking thing about all those who say that Dimebag was the best guitarist in the world...oh come on people! Yeah, he's a legend, a great guitarist, but not the best! There are better guitarists out there...Ranging from Hendrix and Clapton, to Vai and Satriani, or band guitarists like Petrucci (Dream Theater), Synyster Gates (A7X), Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), or Van Halen! Even this guy it's a great guitarist, stop calling him over-rated.

[KapaGoesMagic2]

Finland!! \m/

[partyongarth420]

that rifff was gayyyy lol..., ok hes not a bad guitarist all around but some of his shit is uberr gayyy.. like George micheals in a bathroom cock in mouth

[UACDOOM]

lets not

[RorschachMoonwalks]

His black/pink Flying V is just killer!

[DeathStroke47]

@RorschachMoonwalks its not a flying v its a schythe. Flying v=Gibson

[BrutalGore11]

oh god i hate him!!

[DamnedInBlack92]

its weird how the european metal bands are some of the best

[DrummaMuFucka]

@DamnedInBlack92 European Metal is totally unique... It's relatively different from North American Metal.... Take for example... Scar Symmetry as opposed to Five Finger Death Punch... Kind of the same thing goin on, but with different influences... Screaming and singing, but i feel the guitar's make the difference.

[Phailure365]

@DrummaMuFucka Because in america everything comes from blues. you cannot escape it. in eupre theres much more classical influance

[TheFlight999]

@DrummaMuFucka Some of the greatest Heavy Metal bands emerged from good ole Europe Example: Iron Maiden

[iDiViNeZ]

I enjoy watching these videos but this is hardly a lesson. Watch me play it slow (which in this genres case is still really fast) now figure it out.

[MrDAVE420247]

@iDiViNeZ the lesson comes with tabs

[wesleygarrett89]

@panterajoey,yeah no shit dude cuz there is no comparison,he was the best,but what blows my mind is that it was an ex-marine that killed him

[Drew927]

sounds weird with no reverb at low volume

[BashYouLongtime]

Wow the intro just makes me wanna sing: CHOCOLATE RAIN!

[kamuimusackie]

@BashYouLongtime

You sir, as the winner of this video's comments. 

[01411004]

it's we r not gonna fall

[meridiano976]

I personally do not like Alexi's style. He's a little bit overrated.

Look, he starts showing a riff but he's not clean at all! Can u hear it?

I guess if u'r recording tutorials or something u should take care about being clean isnt it? It doesnt matter if ur playing death...black.. drop C.. B.. A.. Just be clean!

[Runicblade]

@meridiano976 You have a good point there lol, I myself like Alexi's style. but at least you're not throwing up comments like those two down there bickering like little kids

[efisthead]

why does this guy (if he is to be called such) were finger nail paint lol queer

[bonkysmb]

from which song is that?

[ImmortalReaver]

Anyone who thinks this guitar work is impressive and think he's a god for playing it is a fool. That guitar work isn't that hard, I've been playing for under two years and I can play better stuff than that.

[rockadio1992]

@ImmortalReaver who cares if its hard or not? I bet you can't make a better riff than this.

[TheStyrofoamPeanut]

@ImmortalReaver youer a dumbass. he can write the best riffs and he can shred a million times faster than this if he wants to. youre an ignorant dipshit who disses metal titans and thinks youre better than them.

[imadey0utube]

I thought he was a girl when I saw his picture on DR guitar strings.

[joey1364]

man were not going to fall is such an amazing song

[Sk8erbakerskater]

@xy1p33y0x Alexi Laiho defines metal, not fingernail polish, Alexi is a fucking beast haha, I think you can't deny that, fingerpolish or not : P

[guitarman1091]

hey therockhouse does he he have an accent cause in his betcha cant play this he doesnt sound like this

[ironmaidenshredd]

The stuff this guy writes just blows my mind. like seriously how many amazing songs can 1 man write lol

[crimsonrafael]

Alex laiho makes me feels metallica and avenged sevenfold really sucks, after i watch this video, then i watch hundred of alex laiho and i still can't get enough..

he should be the legend guitarist

[777jimm]

what song is this

[chopperharris100]

Yh he is awesome at guitar but lets face it he does look a lil wierd he could play just aswell without painting his nails

[Vomitonthecross]

Wow, this guy has nothing on Jeff Loomis or Mohammed from Necrophagist. This is wanky stupid bullshit.

[gangstaspongebob1]

@ApplaudTheVioIence limited sounds, the reason alexi uses one pickup is because who only uses a distrorted sound even for cleans so no need for a different sounding pickup

[flash8246]

IS THAT A BLACKOUT HES USING!?!?!?!?

[HuberttXXX17]

is this girl?!

[predboy13]

@HuberttXXX17 its alexi laiho!!!

[Johnnnybgoode]

I know they're different.... But I can help but wonder whether Alexi or Dan Jacobs would win in a rock off....

[ph34rONE3443]

@ApplaudTheVioIence If you have one pickup, that's one sound. If you've got a neck pickup and a bridge pickup, you can switch between those two or use a blend. It determines where the vibrations of the string become signals into the amp, and you can alternate between a thick rhythmic sound or a sharp and crisp soloing sound.

[TheMadmanXD]

fuckin sik

[nunofrg]

dude i REALLY love alexi laiho and dont get me rwong, but his instructional video aind what it is. the title says single note riff into a heavy rythm, ok the first thing it goes to my mind is he is going to teach how to create a rythm on a single note riff i made, but the only the he shows ALMOST all the 2 dvds is how to play his stuff.

dudes cmon.... he doesnt teach stuff to be ourselves, he only teaches HIS stuff.

[restxinxlove]

he sounds like and plays like skwisgaar skwigelf but only real and awesomer

[ledzeprocks21]

@restxinxlove hahahaha i was just about to say the same thing

[angelodeath9009]

@Tainted369 a warlock comes no where close 2 wut that guitars worth

[666sikseb666]

Fuck Alexi is awesome!!

[KittenKiller]

Damn. I didn't know Avril Lavigne could play guitar so well.

[pederasii]

@KittenKiller hahhaha neither did I

[embracedeath]

I didn't know your mom can suck balls so well .

[L3DZ3PPl1N818]

he sounds like he doesnt want to be there

[Metalheadddddd]

No offense but way overrated by many people...i mean a whole step down?Holy fuck.

[six6sixpounder]

Offense taken. He is not, he is excellent.

[21scotty12]

@Metalheadddddd what do you mean "a whole step down? Holy fuck"? its not that amazing, heaps of metal bands play in C, a some, such as slipknot go even lower

[jdawg00100]

I play in C, i don't see anything wrong with it, it is something i prefer

[chidorikakashi]

@21scotty12 yeah xDD slipknot tune there gutiars so it sounds like burps and farts to like A

[danlash656]

i tune down to 3 and 4 steps down so 1 step down is nothing

[TheDreampain]

He makes the best guitar riffs ever

[nvm0]

He is good. I tried to play this on my guitar while watching alexi playing it...but...it is just impossible,really dynamic. Damn I want to learn to play like Alexi,he would make a great guitar teacher.

[haggis325]

love the inlays

[ladydjdark]

..gay ...not gay....ppl open your mind!!! Alexi is Awesome!!!!! the best guitarist!!! Damn HOT and perfect!!!

[dod99]

thats the gayest fucking guitar ive ever seen hes been watching too much avenged sevenfold videos

[TheSavage493]

@dod99 dude i don't think you even know who this guy is. lead guiarist for children of bodom 10 times more skilled than the avenged sevenfold guitarists.

[TheNitroSnake]

@TheSavage493 alexi owns but syn is better than him! lisn to the solo of afterlife :O

[ohyeahextreme]

@TheNitroSnake believe me. my favorite band is avenged sevenfold, but alexi and roope make syn and zack sould like a giraffe shitting.

[shaggyelpuertorro08]

dude, just because syn is playing a fast solo doesn't mean is gonna sound good. alexi knows what he's doing. plus he does his solos with the keyboardist most of the time, it cannot get any more brutal than that!!! syn, just another guitarrist...

[mk3a2]

the hell you're talking about?! It's beautiful!

[robertbeto93]

i dont like this ful!!!!!

[therockhouse]

Wow how did you discover all of this, we never made this fact about the company public. You must be like a super smart or something

[therockhouse]

it is quit obviouse that you yourself are gay other wise you would not be so furfent with the use of the word. NOT that there is anything wrong with that!

[wannabeserpento99]

@therockhouse lol is this the official rockhouse youtube account, ur language makes me suspicous?

[panterajoey]

Dimebag is not to be mentioned or compared among mortals such as this.

[aswesee]

well both of them have their own signature series DR strings

[tyrant6of6genocide]

@panterajoey listen, dimebag is a master of his own ways, so diss fuckign dime bag, he is a beast, everyoen knows it, and yes alexi is a beast, but he can never compare to yngwie, paul gilber or even the horrible guitarist michael angelo batio

[AgentSpiral]

@tyrant6of6genocide Hah If MAB is horrible then you know nothing about music.

[DancingInFire]

@panterajoey

Dimebag and Alexi are different sorts of players, anyway. It's like comparing Hendrix with Petrucci, or comparing a spider with a cat.

[AwesomeBobz]

@panterajoey Alexi Laiho destroys Dimebag Darrell!!!

[DTHMCHNRAGE]

@AwesomeBobz dimebag Darrell created all that was awesome no way he gets buried by Alex or destryoed Dimebag is a legend

[djrhys95]

@DTHMCHNRAGE dude, sorry to burst your bubble. but dimebags riffs where terrible. the solo's where meh. dime bag is very over rated. like slash.

[monkeyman410]

@AwesomeBobz you have obviously suffered a major concusion or something of that nature because that is not possible

[joesimmons90]

@panterajoey dude dime was cool and was a cool guy but dont bullshit me that hes better than alexi. hes not some godly figure, hes just a dude

[justenbeashel]

@joesimmons90 Blasphemy.

[xCMxMach]

@panterajoey alexi is God so idk what you're talking about

[MetalMaidenMX]

@panterajoey amen

[SLIPKNOT8018]

@panterajoey dime and alexi are both gods... dime was the greatest guitarist in the world, im just sayin neither one has shit on the other... their both great guitarist.

[roxodoescocaine420]

hes so fast but michael keene is sooooo much more unique

[steelasura]

i love alexi but have you ever noticed how he really closly resembles avril lavigne, its insane

[Coheednmadness]

its true, they should marry

[firesoftheempyrean]

hahaha

[daveyweav]

@MONT3RM1NAT0R takes one to know one doesn't it

[2pro4u2c]

alexi is god.

[AirsoftInsanity]

he looks scary

[36onfire]

you people talking about him nails, WHO GIVES A FUCK? That's the way he likes it, let him be. Watch his guitar playing, you know what the video was made for, not about his appearance.

Jeeeez, some people.

[therockhouse]

AMEN brother, who cares. he is trying to share something!

[EvolutionXvideo]

dude i thought us metalheads can paint our nails black and not get judged for it! BLACK RULES!!!!

[Noobst3R99]

@EvolutionXvideo

Emo?

[Raissmo]

@EvolutionXvideo Nope, that's The Blue Oyster Bar you're talking about.

[VansOwns]

@EvolutionXvideo alexi rules but, just search for it, he sometimes dresses as a woman... I'M JUST SAYIN

[DRCsyntax]

@VansOwns Does that somehow change his guitar skill?

[Jnkeps]

@VansOwns lmao really?

[hockeyman1]

why you guys talking about his nails they look good like that

[MONT3RM1NAT0R]

any guy who wears emo nail varnish and loks alike a E.M.O is G.A.Y

[backslur]

hes still amazing with a guitar...even if his nails are kinda odd

[grungebobbz]

I'm pretty sure, a lot of metal musicians do this.

not just "Emos". If I'm correct, Dimebag darrel did it occasionally.

[Kazooiej]

It's a metalhead, not an emo. You should go back to kindergarten to learn the word R.E.S.P.E.C.T.

[godofwar5]

@MONT3RM1NAT0R i dont even like Children of Bodom but that was a bullshit comment man

[kilyatwice]

Fuck you, Alexi is amazing!

[666MetalMatt]

The fact that you use the word gay means you need to go back to elementary school.

[Alda1981]

what sick elementary school your family sent you?

[whosbeensick]

love the guitar. only 1 prob, hasnt got neck pickup but i would still kill 4 that guitar

[InfinityImmortalGod]

Alexi is the guitar God

[jKazej]

I never noticed it before,but are my eyes fooling me or on that pink guitar,the last 5 frets are scalloped.

[tiyls]

yup. on most of his signature series guitars, frets 21 through 24 are scalloped for better sustain.

[jordancayco]

yjm reference?

[guitarrock55]

Wat does scalloped mean??

[leedsunited4]

basically it's filed in to make it into a recessed fret. it's better for bending etc

[vincentmack37]

scallops there some kind of seafood, like squid and shit, hope this helps

[xxxNightstalker1xxx]

lol good one

[xpinkxpitbullx]

lol :'D just because of his long hair :)

[claus93Sethsen]

He looks like jay from Jay and silent bob

[Maxjkd]

Ahahaha!!! XD

[GtaRockt]

In Austria we would say this guitar looks "sau geil"!

it means something like "awesome" or "very, very cool"

I want to have it!

[Noga36]

his tone is actually awful.

[420dudeaha]

UR ACTUALLLY AWEFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[heai25]

if u notice ppl he doesnt have a sound suppresor listen to him stoke you can hear it clearly lol i need one though

[DeSpIsEdIcON100]

black and green would be sooo much better!!!

[iamViTtOx]

man i had the same idea!!!

btw i think that a white sawtooth version without inlays would be cool as hell

[jackzonrhoadz]

naaaah. I think black and pink is awesome, he tried something weird and it worked ;)

[frenchtoast218]

i like the guitar

[jaymzguitar1]

haha he gives you the notes as if they are in standard tuning. He's just to lazy lazy alexi... lol

[Jonsk12394]

[monsterofmuaythai]

[LooksLikeFailure]

[Hammersmashedface09]
