Recording Phantom Power solos - Monkey Lord Vlog

[1995rockmusic]

at 0.10 rob looks like jesus

[GuitarBoyEvan]

that stuff you have on the wall to absorb sounds i think... it looks like you dident by actual ones and used something else.. what is that and how good does it work?

[SplatterGuitar]

Stick ? \m/

[COBWEBOWNZYA]

Sections of this remind me of marty friedman, amazing!

[alexisd3]

@COBWEBOWNZYA reminds me of the solos of holy wars :P

[LiutenantIroh]

that is a very nice guitar!classy yet demonic!

[sittingcrazyhorse]

Now I find myself saying"stick" when ever I pass a outlet...And nobody gets the reference....Also, I'm ending every sentence with " In accordance with the prophecy"

You guys are great.

Peace,ese

[EGitarrist]

tabs please?! :D:D

[Schecter311]

1:08 lol epic guitargasm face initiate!

[dimeowns100]

he solo at 0:56 - the rythym to it sounds very metallica-esque :D well done rob

[Pianoblacks]

Your videos... are the only videos on youtube I am willing to sit, wait and watch the full 30seconds advertisements before your video comes on without reaching for the F5 button on my keyboard. Great videos mate!

[Moustachio101]

I love this tune, mate!

Do you still play this one any more?

You and the current Monkey Lord should get a tour going somewhen, if you come down near me I would be sure to some and see you.

If you do, try to come to a venue called "The Wedgewood Rooms" in Portsmouth. (;

Peace out, my friend!

[skycaptain141]

can you do a lesson on this.

[RevisedTV]

second solo, ithought it sounded like the damageinc. solo at the beginning. and it was SO epic

[dimeowns100]

Am i mistaken or does it say "SHED SOLO" instead of shred hahah, nice playing dude \m/

[EMG801]

hahaha! this video made my day Rob.

[MyxHarnett]

Chappers, what is your EQ setting for the solos? it sounds like a windigo giving birth to shred!

[bretona]

the old bassist

:(

[bigrock007]

Are the solos improvised ?

[brettcarman2012]

sweet solos man, I also am liking your signature guitar that you're using :) wish I had one

[GeetarGuy101]

Once again, BEST GUITARIST IN THE WORLD!!

[RafaelHLogrado]

hey chappers , just a quick coment:

Cool Solos!

;)

[gargano3000]

at 1 24 rob looks like he droppin the big 1

[expensivepig]

whats the song at 0:55? its very slayer. me likey

[deadringer13]

Just a quick question, the 2nd solo shown, what mode is this in???

[Blade686]

What are you talking about? He has great phrasing and vibratos, if you think any fast solo has no feel then you sir are a douchefag. I bet you can't play even a single note of that solo better than he did.

[goodguitaristatmetal]

@Blade686 ha douchefag lllllllllllllllllllloooooooooo­oooooooooooololollolololololol­ololol

[custardpiekashmir]

@Blade686

i certainly don't agree with who'm you call a douchefag (which i found rudely unnecessary.).

i also don't find fast solos have no feel, BUT him not able to play that fast or shred like that is an invalid point.

jimmy page couldn't play like that, mark knopfler and clapton can't shred like that, are they therefor bad players?

other than that, you're right.

[Nameless164]

lulz. It's 100% feel that fits with the music. You don't have to be all slow and do a ton of bends to have "feel".

[SurgicalWithaPick]

thats funny!

[CastellanMusic]

is The Lee there in this video? seems to be someone else laughing :)

[RobChappers]

That's me mate! ;-)

[MrStickMonkey]

@CastellanMusic - Yo dude, That's my bro laughing who was filming or us.

Stick

[Mattroid89]

Stick? That was freakin' amazing!!

[insatanwetrustslave]

Metal faces ftw!

I love those solos :D

[TonusDiabolicus]

Sorry to ask the obvious question - when will the production run of the ML1 be available - I think that you had hoped for pre-Xmas. I presume that is a bust now?

[LastXzIII]

LMAO at the beginning. "Stick.Sticks!Stiiiicks!"

[Maten123]

I'd say 1:07 and 1:15 are the parts that I can really feel, the tapping part is not really my style but then again, it's your band haha=)

[jswin334]

Fuck, that was amazing! I love the Clapton face at 1:19! Hmmm... or perhaps the Chappers face would be more appropriate, I don't think I've seen Clapton do that one. Great stuff, mate!

[oaroushdy]

this is gret epic shit .. love ur work man ..!!

[RobChappers]

Thanks mate ;-)

[StratoMaster1]

i love the little unexpected mood changes in those solos VERY NICE ...probably means nothing but u finaly showed me what u can do.

[RobChappers]

Means a lot to me Mr StratoMaster ;-)

[guitarlad24]

[1994AaronSmithcars]

[Zeoilvia]

[GibsonGuitarsForever]

I can't wait to come over and visit you guys in real life !

(i live in AUS) :-(

[GibsonGuitarsForever]

Awesome solo mate!!!!

[Houdini116]

Any chance of some blues/jazzy stuff Rob? That first "Subway Bandit" vid had some of, what I think, your best playing.

[MrStickMonkey]

Hi Houdini116 - There's going to be all sorts of stuff coming from Monkey Lord, a track called 'Breath' was also laid down which is currently in production alongside 'Phantom Power', both will be released at the same time, probably mid Jan 2010.

Cheers

Stick

[RobChappers]

[chubbymosher700]

[hughh20]

Your tone and playing is not that great...

It's amazing!

[SwampAshSpecial]

I was this close so killing you there :p

good work Rob!

[MrStickMonkey]

It's those special mic's from Tandys that I used to record him with that did it! Who remembers Tandys?

Stick

[skycaptain141]

as i said before mr.chappers this is the reason why your my favorite guitarist and Im from NYC im supposed to like Steve vai and satriani but i now why i know britians got a hell of alot talent. BTw i jsut bought a gibson sg standard do you recommend any pickups i should install or any mods i should do

[SwampAshSpecial]

BareKnuckles

[broomiester]

wooo  when i get 1 ima put a bareknuckle nailbomb in da bridge!

[SwampAshSpecial]

nice choice!

[meinshnake]

I know I am not chappers but if it is an SG Standard, you should not replace the pickups... they are good ones in there (ofcourse not as good as the older ones) and it could take away some of the SGness of the guitar.

[bretona]

belly button win at :04

he is human then! not some guitar playing monstrosity!

[strats4ever321]

Sounds very Marty Friedman Rust in Peace era. Great stuff! looking forward to the album

[RobChappers]

Yeah man I love Marty!! Awesome guitarist and a huge inspiration ;-)

[gonya33]

Great sounding stuff Chap! Diggin' the new band mates as well =P

[Grover717]

Fuckin' awesome, Chappers. I can't wait to hear what else Monkey Lord has in store for the minions.

[RobChappers]

Cheers mate, yeah loads on the horizon We will be recording again in Feb ;-)

[skycaptain141]

[Maten123]

He has, and I think heard him say 18 years once =/

[davidach]

what scale/mode is that first solo in?

[RobChappers]

Hi mate, I was using a mix of Phrygian Dominant, Blues and Aeolian ;-)

[MrStickMonkey]

Otherwise known as SHED

Stick

[Moltisanti]

[Ibik]

[Adji87]

Solos are sounding great Chappers! The right amount of shred and taste. You guys have got stuff moving VERY quickly, really hope to see you's play!

I want to see the unedited footage where stick goes akker and beats the crap out of both of you haha!

[MrStickMonkey]

It's messy... Very messy

Stick

[Adji87]

Hahaha, so what the hell is up with that socket anyway?

[antonystevensmusic]

Hey Adji87,

The socket had "DO NOT USE, ASK BEFORE USE" written on it. So i asked him hehehe.... to tell you the truth though, I didn't really need to use it.

Rain :-p

[Adji87]

Haha cheers Rain, I couldn't make out the writing from the video.

[MrStickMonkey]

Hi Adji87 - Yeah, sorry about that, I put the writing to low in the video so the add covered it up! Whenever anything got plugged into that socket the power in the house tripped!

It wasn't that in the end that was the problem...

Cheers

Stick \m/

[Adji87]

Haha strange. I have encountered problems like that also.

[antonystevensmusic]

Problems with bassists like that? Or the plug? :-p

[Adji87]

Haha! Plugs. The bassists I have worked with have always been pretty professional, strange lol. Maybe they happen to be the few odd ones out.

[joshdavidstead]

First view and comment, hell yeah! xD
