mesa mark iv tone test (gibson 84 explorer)

[dusted04]

hey dude do u like this or the mark v better for the metallica tones

i found the v to be lacking in the balls department !

[jsuffers]

@ralphvonvinland if you're talking about the guitar of the month reissue, the one you're playing is the exact same thing, but you can probably find one on ebay or something, but if you're talking about an original they are pretty tough to come across, like I said I got lucky, was a freak thing, I was heavy into metallica then and saw it on a wall, traded in my kramer focus and 400 for it, was a bit beat up but still a beautiful piece.

[cw5394]

you need to palm mute when your scaling down the fretboard in the intro.

[MisterBumbieris]

0:03 Orgasm? :D

[job108]

did you use a distortion pedal??? or it was the overdrive channel of the amp??

[wolfgar926]

HES JUST SHOWING THE TONE OF THE MARK IV! NOT TRYING TO BE JAMES!! !LOL...

[athomas2395]

its annoying how you strum the E power cord after every thing DONT DO THAT

[illeagle7]

@athomas2395

Well. Without drums you should play like that. It gives it some spice. And if I'm not mistaken that's how it's played live nowadays ;)

[AnaheimDucks1993]

@athomas2395 Thats how you play the song dumbass

[jhnneythemonkey]

@AnaheimDucks1993 no it isn't "dumbass", it's all palm muted on the album. So technically he would be playing it wrong. But it's a cover and you can play it however the hell you want to. Anyway the boogie is fucking sick and i'd wipe out a country to have an 84' Explorer

[MrStarWarsNerd1]

that guitars not a virgin any more!!!

[tballsack1]

its impossible to not know "master " on one of those

[SpearShark]

Put shirt on. We arent Justin Biebers!

[TemplarOfNight]

To much nipples.

The rest was awesome.

[forcichri82]

hey...nice sound of SHIT !!!!!!!

[JOHNCENA3690]

Put a shirt on or improve ur muscles!!! 

[MasterMetallicaCover]

AWESOME DOWNPICKING OMG!

[RowanStephen]

dudes haulin ass

[heavydeathler]

yes they also play gibson, even life^^

but i don't know if that's relevant!?

[vM3TALLICAx]

0:03 aaah wtf

[Ger1125]

Metallica!!!

[jakerulez11]

@kh202lover i also assume you have a kh202 (which is perfectly acceptable) hahaha and flying Vs are super badass too! i dont have either of those guitars and i love to play Metallica songs. you can check em out on my channel :D

[heavydeathler]

Great choice man, I have the same guitar and I love it:)

[kirkdaniellive]

yeaa¡¡¡¡ master of puppets mennn¡¡¡¡

[kirkdaniellive]

yeaa¡¡¡¡ master of puppets mennn¡¡¡¡¡

[sexy1314]

I like what you've done with the song. But this might be the mic but the tone sound a little wrong like a little to ruff

[EVER4METALLICA]

i want an gibson explorer 84....from where could i buy a new one and how much is one? please....

[scaline1]

fair doos, nice rythm playing, that was badass!

[joshua85100]

Can you say me the name of the last song (I doesn't listen much Metallica ...)

[DownBYOB]

@joshua85100 The whole song is Master Of Puppets (it's the only song played here)

[darkeagle551]

@joshua85100 its all one song, Master of Puppets

[psychopsilocybin1983]

EMG = Shitty Tone

[SpearShark]

@psychopsilocybin1983  SD or DiMarzio = shitty tone

[psychopsilocybin1983]

@SpearShark There are some pretty sweet SD's out there.. but in any case.. all my guitars have the PRS and Gibson stock pickups still in them... if somethin aint broke... dont fix it

[maltomat]

@psychopsilocybin1983 somebody told me, you can built in a EMG in a table... put strings on it and it sounds like an EMG... thats right. But theres one guitar that sounds different, and thats the musicman luke :)

[MyNevermindme]

I got the same guitar !

[shadowogge]

LOVE TO PLAY THIS SONG!

[jakerulez11]

its true, Hetfield revolutionized the Explorer and Flying V in the world of metal. you peoples just gotta face the facts that when someone plays a metallica song on a gibson explorer, they're paying tribute to the gods of metal: METALLICA

[kh202lover]

@jakerulez11 I play on my 05 Flying V, I mostly play Metallica

[sexy1314]

you should install a black bridge loll

[jedimastergarcia87]

Not bad. I like your guitar too. I see you put EMG pickups in it. I might try and get me a Gibson Explorer Faded since they aren't that much. Always wanted a real Gibson. Or maybe a Gibson Faded V.

[orison319]

Sweeet.. >:D

[Hyzleier]

Serious dude are you Airbourne's frontman

[dante4d]

Metallica cover = vibrato fail

[bdoginit01]

Serious downstrokes bro

[jesusprieto27]

nice playing bro.

[SsAliihsaNsS]

2. song name ?

[mrjajamesmejijia]

@SsAliihsaNsS the name of the song is master of puppets by metallica :D

[jesusprieto27]

@SsAliihsaNsS

"master of puppets"metallica

[jesusprieto27]

good playin bro.

[alextzam]

great man!give us the settings on the mark..please.

[Schweep24]

Needs to work on solos bad

[AirgunAddict256]

damn. and i thought playing the song at NORMAL speed with downstrokes is amazing.

what did you sniff to downpick that fast? BECAUSE I WANT SOME!

[Sweet4652]

@AirgunAddict256 It's just practice. I love to do it a lot faster too. I play it worse if I play it like it's played on the studio version :) You just got to learn your technique. It takes a lot of practice. And I use Dunlop Green Tortex picks, so depends a lot on your picks too.

[Sweet4652]

I need some opinions. Is there much difference between Mark and Rectifier? I just thought that I could get a used Dual Rectifier, but I'm not able to get a Mark, because of the high price. I would like to play old 'tallica. Like Master of Puppets. I have a Marshall JCM800

[vM3TALLICAx]

@Sweet4652 JCM 800 is awesome why change it?

[Sweet4652]

@vM3TALLICAx I don't want to change it. I just want more :) My Kerry King Marshall JCM800 isn't going anywhere. I think that I will just get a Line 6 Spider Valve, because it's cheaper. I don't know. Of course if I find a rectifier for a reasonable price, or a mark, I'll buy it.

[UACDOOM]

no matching headstock? you should have it painted in white too. looks awsome matching

[SlaughterSwitchBlade]

dress up bitch

[CamoteMaster]

HEY! do a cover of master of puppets! but full! sounds really good

[nbcviper]

Which Cabinet are you using in this video?

[EldubeG25]

You don't look good whit the guitar; you should mail it to me ;) haha joke :P

[OREN2465]

Im going to buy GIBSON EXPLORER!

[slayerguy21]

Metallica is my favorite band, but im tired of seeing somebody play a metallica song on EVERY gibson explorer video.

[thomer97]

@slayerguy21 its just because james hetfield plays an explorer.

[slayerguy21]

@thomer97

Well, he's played with an ESP explorer since 1988. He only used his gibson explorer on Master Of Puppets and Ride The Lighting. If i wanted to see a lot metallica being played i would just search up 'ESP Explorer', not 'Gibson Explorer'

but this guy did a pretty good cover though

[emg32]

@slayerguy21

James has always used Gibson Explorers along with his ESP's. He didn't quit using Gibson Explorers when he started using ESP's. He just uses both now. He still uses several Gibson Explorers on the Death Magnetic tour going on right now.

[GuitarRocks23455]

@slayerguy21 And Mark IV demos. Like come on, Metallica is great and all but their tone is so typical metal. This tone is pretty dry sounding too. Theres no juice!!!.Right now im digging Opeth's tone \m/ Now thats nice!

[krollaostmedburger]

@GuitarRocks23455 Opeth has one of the most standar metal tones i've heard. Metallica has a unique tone

[GuitarRocks23455]

@krollaostmedburger Back then it was unique, during that time. But now so many bands have copied the whole mid scoop sound, its lost its potence i guess. But talking current tones, Metallicas sucks ass. Death Magnetic is a great album but the tone is so dry and loud...

[SnopElsker]

@slayerguy21 but this guy plays it good.

[janusego1]

@slayerguy21 you should blame Hetfield for that.

[luigiboy82]

@slayerguy21 but thats what explorers are all about !! LOL just kidding, I know what you mean...

[99mmpick]

@slayerguy21 most people buy explorer for playing metallica

[TheGuitarman132]

@99mmpick uh no..

[GuitarHeroFreak1200]

@slayerguy21 i disagree cause i never get tired of metallica

[solidvideogamegod]

@slayerguy21 yea, They dont even use a Gibson. They use an ESP.

[ScArKiLLa45]

@solidvideogamegod They use both.

[fallback462]

I'm pretty good at palm muting and this made my right foream cry hahah.

[fallback462]

I'm pretty good at palm muting and this made my right foream cry hahah.

[rapadoguitar]

i love this video i favourited it n everythin

[illeagle7]

Awesome rhythm playing...

One thing though... You're playing your basic chords wrong.. It' s a lot easier..

Any hoo--- Shit is great yeah.. you got speed.. damn.. Btw how much is that guitar...?

[RevisedTV]

mop intro fail

[metalbasstj21]

wow you butcherd this song fuck you

[Gibsonmac1981]

Soooo Hetfield, I've been looking for an non-designer series, non-kahler 80's explorer for evar!!! SOO JEALOUS!!

[FreakKitchen94]

those fucking triplets that you lay in sounds awesome dude :P

[5150VanAlien]

Go the Airbourne style....too much too young too fast.

[danutd94]

Great tone

[liltonky]

Iv been looking everywhere for this guitar. anyone know where i can buy it??? lol i just bought an esp ltd ex360, its the closest thing i could find

[blerbele632]

@liltonky well sam ash is running a limited edition of an epiphone version of this. i got the white one and it is really fucking awesome. you should go check one out

[JoshSkillz13]

@liltonky dude, its a gibson explorer 84 reissue, theres a limited amount as james hetfield got a custom and they sold like 1000 or something, and it's usa built so a ex360 is your cheapest option

[liltonky]

@JoshSkillz13 ya, do u know where i can buy itt? or like an esp copy?

[JoshSkillz13]

@liltonky , i have no idea if i knew i'd want one tho :P

[thefrenchman555]

whats the song at the end

[LeaderOfMetal93]

@thefrenchman555 The whole video is Master of Puppets by Metallica.

[ridewithES]

Who the fuck cares about a shirt? He's playing damn good

[illfaint]

he looks just like james to me

nice playing

[SnopElsker]

love your tone, dude!

[boggsty]

nice interpretation of master of puppets! tune your guitar on drop c and play that.

[hsousa54]

@snowblind333 okay first off calm down this is the internet u dont have to pretend to be a bad ass...second, im not saying the kid sucks im saying the tone sucks he has way to much gain if u ask me...third, youz a bitch nigga

[TheSwampLion]

sounds good, i've wanted pretty much that exact combo of guitar and amp for a while, hearin' this, it's still on my list.

[skateflips410]

I have to say...for being 100 degrees outside, thats a pretty damn good cover of puppetz.

[csk6767]

nice version :)

[ipnutt22]

U PLAY THIS 100X BETTER THAN ALOT OF PPL

[martyfischetti]

you fucking suck at playing master

and youre fucking out of shape

quit

[csk6767]

@martyfischetti look at urself, ur voice sucks!

[martyfischetti]

@csk6767 hahaha so since i tried copying another persons vocal approach in a song i have a bad voice?

i love how you know my guitar playing is amazing so you trash on something else hahaha faggottttt

[csk6767]

@martyfischetti those are my old vids from my 2nd year bitch.

[hsousa54]

1. Turn down the treble u sound like shit

2. u can take ur shirt off when u get muscles

3. since when were their pinch harmonics in master of pupppets.

4. stop butchering my favorite songz ya bat rastard

[Snowblind333]

@hsousa54 hye dip shit. i think your gaty by saying that youd only want to look at him if he had muscles. FAGGOT. and if your so fucking picky about how the song is played just listen to the original version and quit being a little bitch.

[nolavoles]

palm muting?

[madews]

omg tone

[SsAliihsaNsS]

thanks

[SsAliihsaNsS]

nice.. song name?

[o0oFIZZLEo0o]

@SsAliihsaNsS

wow you are a complete faggot how do you not know that's master of puppets? every guitar player knows that song.. damn

[MetaIThunder]

@SsAliihsaNsS ROFL

[21stCENTURYBOY12]

@SsAliihsaNsS mater of puppets by metallica:)

[munchy040]

@SsAliihsaNsS hahahahaha im asuming thats a joke

[JoshSkillz13]

@SsAliihsaNsS dude, you disgrace me hahaha, if you like metal or even know your music you should know this song

[creative0destruction]

now just paintall the chrome on the body to black and maybe a whammy (black) and it would be wickeder

[Dinklebob]

lol people more concerned bout the dude not having a shirt on... fucking fairies... shred on brother.

[JoKeRzCaRdProDucTion]

whats the point of having one of those amps if your not going to blast it?

[baddoggo]

Dude this ROCKS! Shirt or no shirt! I play AT guitar...but can shred a we bit! Boogie Freak! Fast Eddie

[XxMetallicaxX11]

dude ur so fat go fuck urself faggot i hope u have kids and they die in a plane crash

[jecox12]

@XxMetallicaxX11  Dude he does guitar demo's shirtless watta u think

[XxMetallicaxX11]

@jecox12 i agree

[LittleBuddah118]

reminds me of airborne lol

[AlexPeavey]

Man your palm mutes sounds so tight! I love your distortion tone and how the guitar seems to feel in your hands!

[speedfreak17]

i like how he adds triplets and pinch harmonics XD

[decapitatedrathead]

@speedfreak17 not triplets, theyre called gallops, triplets are something completely different

[facklash]

ur tone is great!!! boogies always get the job done :) btw are those emg's?

[shinfo002]

no shirts, EMGs in an explorer=metal all day

[MW2BulletdoctorMW2]

whats up with all of u qweers talking about his body? this about THE Gibson Explorer with EMGs, so shut ur mouths. Great playing and beautiful tone.

[Jaywarde82]

whats up with all the added notes and added picking your doing. I guess thats your style which is cool but I like to keep it close to the original. I read the sheet music and it's kinda off from what im hearing on the record. The sheet music says to play it like you just did and the record is a little more reserved...

[AraGuitar]

i say keep the shirt off!! im loving those abs... or flabs... ?

[BROKENXJUSTICE]

I WANNA GET A GIBSON EXPLORER BUT ITS TO EXPENSIVE! IS AN EPIPHONE EXPLORER AS GOOD OR IS IT BAD SOME1 TELL ME PLZ!!

[SixStringSolid]

@BROKENXJUSTICE the epiphone explorer is an entry level guitar, like a squire strat or an epi les paul special II

[ripcliffburtonrip]

just a tip. bear grylls says that when its hot, keep your shirt on because the sweat absorbs in the shirt and helps you cool off rather than the heat evaporate all your sweat

[esdreas10101]

hey man... shirtless is the way to go! totally metal.

[SnopElsker]

Metallica used this amp on the Black Album, right?

[hoikevinhoi]

@SnopElsker yeah

[goid89]

at about 12 sek. sounds extremely close to the record.

pretty good for what you call sloppy ^^

[taterfamine]

play it right pleez. thank you. you have the talent and everything though

shirt would also help.

oh, and bitchin guitar btw

[Ibik]

ahhhhhhhhhhh

[aaron69hagen]

i think not wearing a shirt and playing a guitar will make anyone kinda pissed at you and not enjoy the video. i dont have a problem with it but not wearing a shirt at 100 degrees is kinda pussy dude come to where i live 120 is about an average day.

[therealisaacparker]

@aaron69hagen and where the hell do you live?

[theriggermortis2400]

That's an awesome tone o_o

Even through youtube's audio. I know what amp I'll be getting!

[KyleJonesify]

dude i put more work in to playin more than anyone else left alive so if you want to keep dreaming be my guest

[xwraden]

nice alternative picking i luv it.

[TarbleSauce]

@xwraden This song should never be alternate picked. Period.

[MtSpo23]

how much gain do you have on in this vid during the distorted parts?

[Ewwwww916]

Lol, that moan in the beginning is hilarious.

[Kingofyerass666]

Hmm just like that other guy said,

More bass,

But,

Nice crunch!

[AlpineGuitars]

dont you ever, ever play the mop intro with pull-offs again!

[toddidaman]

the interlude sounded crap, but the rest is good

[goldbeachsurfer]

sounds a little thin, maybe turn up the bass

[hate420breed]

fuck metallica and fuck shirtless monkeys

[kottengod]

@hate420breed fuck hatebreed :P

[KvSwooo]

@hate420breed fuck you and fuck your mother for bringing you into this world

[MegaJaybee]

@KvSwooo wouldnt fucking his mother be the reason he's in the world?

[KvSwooo]

@MegaJaybee good point XD

[amourdutigre]

OK everyone, lay off the guy for not wearing a shirt. I only wish that I was in as good of shape as he is! As far as his playing is concerned, he is doing a very nice job playing on a really nice axe. I have backed up a lot worse on stage behind the kit. Yes, this is not an exact rendition of Master of Puppets, but then Hindrex did not do an exact rendition of Hey Joe either. It is called improvisation.

Nice Job!

ADT

[Ajbadboy252]

@amourdutigre are you gay?? I mean i don't judge just wondering

[villalki]

solo not gr8 but cool !

[09Blackened]

who cares what ur fucking body shape is, his playing is pretty sick, and thats all that matters

[Daniel513555]

your stomach looks like kirks xDD

[gullywoots]

NICE guitar. congrats.

[redlinedave]

heard of sit ups?

[ski5150]

Dude, play naked if you want....good job, awesome picking! Very difficult to do all downstrokes...keep up the good work. Nice tone too.

[dimmukid]

james hetfield '86 style

love it my friend

[MegaMetallicarocks]

good job, but if you learned how to play master right, it would probbably sound great!!

[guillecrack007]

and nice guitar!!!!

[guillecrack007]

put a shirt and learn the original version of master of puppets but yoiuplay guitar very good

[tdutybqiecnjd]

nice sound!

[rockthesenuts666]

Kickass sound

[TheClassroomSpecial]

Improvements:

More low end

Arpeggio w/ clean on that part.

[KyleJonesify]

dude i can do that better than you and im only thirteen!!! ha ha ha ha you suck!

[TIMR007ROX]

@KyleJonesify and with manners like that, you will never make it anywhere in music. hence, can only dream of a mark iv(if you even know what that is). fuck off.

[KyleJonesify]

@TIMR007ROX I dont need a fuckin mark 4 to play rock dumb ass, i could pick all up and down yo ass with a Squire bullet... oh yeah and you definatly wont make it anywhere in music sounding like that so how bout you fuck off and let me do the

playin alright bitch?????

[TIMR007ROX]

@KyleJonesify ok dude whatever, i just dont see why people would come onto a video and badmouth a guy who obviously puts time and effort into his guitar playing. jeez, some people.
