[Guntherton]

i appreciate you taking the time to show people and explain what your doing and not being a talent hog

[63raven63]

great! very helpfull,thanks mark!!

[TheAxe4Ever]

Who says you can't get metal tones through a Legacy? Sounds pretty friggin' metal to me!! Nice tones, excellent teaching.

[sentfromabove3444]

great vid!! thanks very much!

[MrGitarre2000]

I like it!!

:D

[MASTERofPENGUINZ]

Good song good lesson!

[bigevil19902008]

i have trouble with the trills near the beginning i can start off slow, but when i try to go faster i wind up falling behind

[mastertheguitar]

Watch for thing tensing up, think light flutter :)

[bigevil19902008]

nice Explorer man and awesome tone

[CMANOBA]

I'd give my left testicle to be able play like that. I tried to learning how to play guitar, but it's f'ing hard!

[bigevil19902008]

of course its hard, but thats what makes it fun, learning a song after bustin your ass on it, theres only 2 major things to put in a guitar;

1. Determination

2. Time

with both of those anyone can learn guitar

[ScottRowell12]

how many guitars do u have!?! HOLY CRAP!!!!

[efajr]

Great breakdown of the riff, excellent teaching technique.  Thanks!

[mastertheguitar]

As I actually say at 01:10 it's a whole step down on all strings ;).

[GuitarmanMo]

[pur3vlchannel]

im having a little bit of trouble on the the percusified part please help

[boomxpassion]

and the soldano amp is for what ? is not combined with the legacy ?

[mastertheguitar]

As stated in the Description, all Legacy.

I use my Soldano for gigs and teaching.

[TylerVardy]

perfect! and is that some kind of locking nut? never seen one like it before

[mastertheguitar]

Thanks!

It's a locking but without... the locking blocks! :)

[munchie180]

[popacapinyourass101]

i thought he said we were going to be looking at "Serbetude" or something at the start xD

[jukeboxhero141219]

awesome! thats the way every guitar teacher should teach. Way to go man!

[boomxpassion]

One question, i understand all of the amp, but you use the THD too ? i don't get it :|

Good video :)

[mastertheguitar]

The THD Hotplate just controls the volume, the Legacy is a very loud amp.

[scripach]

best guitar teacher on youtube

[MichaelD8393]

@scripach i couldn't agree more.

[ajeepr]

Great job as a teacher !!! Thanks.

[arose71]

kick ass! Thanks for the lesson

[Valdemur]

Wow!

[whoodare]

Thanks for your help, I truly dig your lessons. good job mate!!

[WeaponMasterJedi]

One trick I learned for tuning your guitar down if you're not too good at figuring it out by ear is if you put your finger on the second fret and just turn the tuning key until your tuner says the second fret of the string sounds like it normally would open. And even if you can't tell exactly by ear, it will be possible to figure the sound out a little.

[999Gryphon999]

ye, i always use that trick if i need to tune the G string down to F. But I can do it by ear now :)

[hussaruk]

Heres a question for you!! When I drop tune my guitar the first power chord you play is in a different position than the one you are playing..it is on the first fret (on both my electrics) what am I doing wrong?? My tuner works fine!! Love your work by the way, do you sell dvds and stuff on your site? Thanks

[mastertheguitar]

How are you tuning your guitar? It should be tuned a whole step down e.g DGCFAD

[SultanOfMetal]

whats the guitar?`gibson???

[mastertheguitar]

Check existing comments for some talk on the guitar, cheers.

[charro187]

[Shawkat88]

[Idoloplusten]

[ObstacleBoy]

Dude. You kick ass!!!!

[S0nicBoom]

[mattmosher96]

dude it wud be a great idea if u had a master the settings lesson where we could learn how to set the amp setting to get the like perfect tones for the songs or if u mentioned it during videos... cus i'm a sorta amp noob i'm pretty good on guitar but i've got a line 6 spider III 30 watt so i use mostly presets.

gr8 lesson awesome tune

My favourite band.And you really know how to teach.

[jrnjd]

I like your style of teaching, easy to learn. I can have a book in front of me for two weeks and not learn as much as I do in a five or ten minute lesson like this. Congrats and keep them coming!!

[Dylan464]

this is my favorite metallica song and u played it absolutley perect

[HatakeKakashi720]

Where'd you get the ESP? Is that the explorer model that caused Gibson to sue ESP?

[mastertheguitar]

Hi, it's an old Hondo explorer *heavily* modified :).

[HatakeKakashi720]

Oh. I was wondering what it was since I'm looking for the old explorer body style ESPs. But the guitar still kicks ass though. :)

[charliehamnett]

cheers mate! I'll check out your website an all! thanks!

[rpatzelt]

thank you so much! :) i have not a 7 string guitar ...he he

[fishnose1]

Goddammit you're good. Love your style at teaching! No attitude, no nonsense - perfect.

[hawksicken]

i love the metallica lessons.  there my favorite band

[kumbayasid]

I envy your gear... so much... Thanks for the lesson dude.

[mastertheguitar]

Cheers guys!

As usual I'm just using the guitar - > Carvin Legacy for the vid. With Mids cut and bass and treble boosted for the 'metal' tone.

I've been considering doing a 'gear/setup' vid maybe even a FAQ, watch this space ;).

[rpatzelt]

hi mark!

here's my silly question...: is there a method to convert dropped d tunning songs into regular tunnig...of course with no such "drama" but still...

thanks.

[mastertheguitar]

rpatzelt: It's not really possible to play that open D5 power chord in standard tuning, unless you had a 7 string I suppose ;). Of course playing it all in standard tuning would sound similar just not as heavy what with being a tone up.

NB: Dropped-D is DADGBE, just E string detuned a whole step. Whole step down tuning is DGCFAD. All strings detuned a whole step.

[ice9001]

Great lesson mate but whaty amp are y using there is it the soldano and what model is it . Couldyou give me the setting for that tone its amazing . You shuld do a lesso on tone that would be awesome .
