Michael "Padge" Paget on Soloing Ideas

[bennymdavis]

It's funny, when this is played slow like that, it kind of sounds like some sort of medieval symphony or something. Very Dracula-ish, lol.

[HeAd2tOeS1234]

i love his technique :)

[TechniqueTV]

@HeAd2tOeS1234

me too :D

[CoOlBaNaNeR]

This got me hard

[Overture2152]

I've never heard such a nasty tone from a mesa before :/ 

[oilers1go1]

Terrible.



[S7A1ND]

i like the fret inlays

[ibanezrg7321atreyu]

besides dime padge and matt are the best

........ there my boys

[bewaretheclair]

i want the inlays on his guitar!

[MrAnins]

I love the way you bend! =D

[TheBradleyClarke]

i love his guitar

i love the band

and when i get a jackson rhoad im sure to get the same neck inlay

that gun and wave thing is amazing!!

[Itachifan186]

@TheBradleyClarke The gun inlay doesn't come on Jackson guitars, Padge plays ESP guitars, so it's comes on his ESP sigs.

[hirs44]

padge youre the best guitarist ever:D:)

[Thebeaner871]

Truly an underrated guitarist. You rock Padge. Bullet 4 EVER!!!!

[joey1364]

good guitarist this is the easiest solo ever lol good job explaining it though i would deffinately buy this dvd cause hes awsome

[ribits12]

Hello there fellow metalheads.

Instead of a Metal Rebellion i propose a new plan.

1. Instead of bashig other metal artists, we need to unite. We cant fight against pop music if we arent even together

2. Watch more and other metal videos to get it to the top of the youtube video list

3. Instead of bashing pop, promote metal with logical reasons, not just "METAL RULES!!

If you like this idea, thumbs it up JUST so people can see it, and also spread it around if you like this idea \m/

[fatguyinchair3]

Padge is a very good guitar player. He holds back alot in Bullet For My Valentine because the lead technique in Bullet is a melodic shred feel. He can do the crazy holy shit stuff people like Synyster Gates and Mark Tremonti do but thats to much for Bullets sound.

[SOADHIM1]

2 words: AWESOME PICK-UPS!!!!!!!!!!

[Goth3m3]

@SOADHIM1 No way

EMG's are the most overrated hunks of shit.

Passive's where it's at.

[Mhf23Rulez]

"Gives it a dirtier nastier feel... very nasty" Well put mate ;)

[THeDUDe21892]

double note scream bend might be the best phrase ive ever heard.

[98Pith93]

HOLY SHIT HE SOUNDS IRISH XD

[TheGuitarmad26]

@98Pith93 hes welsh

[jacksback1021]

wow hes got a really strong south wales accenct

[minicobra01]

i still cant sweep even the slightest bit i can ...i can tap and do some scales but i think my fingers hate me cuz its looking pretty impossible

[hirs44]

man im going to learn this

[michaelhayes69]

sadly basic :(

[kjnellis1]

I would kill for that guitar.... It sounds great. Good tone especially out of a V body and a small head. Does anyone know what kind of amp he uses?

[CodyGOfficial]

@kjnellis1 It's a Mesa Boogie I think... Not sure, just going by what i can see in the background.

[therockhouse]

@CodyGOfficial It is so nice when some one actually gets it, I mean really gets it. This is exactly Rock House's mantra. Zepplin, AC/DC/SabbathHendrix all simple and I think it speaks for itself. You don't have to make blazing fast and play complex compositions to be a successful guitar play. You have to play stuff that WORKS! And yes it does not mean you can't shred fast, it just means you really understand how to deliver music!

[Griminal]

This guys tone is just awful

[Sketch95]

@Griminal i know its an opinionated thing ... but wtf. lol are your speakers broken??? i love his tone.

[dikkenerd100]

bullet is emo metal,

[HeavyMetalFourLife]

Saw Bullet for My Valentine LIVE at the riverstage brisbane last night! AMAZING!

[therockhouse]

@AimFireScream thisngs dont have to be comlicated or fast to be good. Led Zeppelin, Metallica, Deep Purple, Judas Priest, AC/DC, All simple stuff but really, really good.

[ktobias112233]

this dude is the most underrated guitarist out there.....hes fukn awesome

[Paydro9001]

Zomg i love you padge....i want taht guitar too.

[ItWorksItsWayInside]

He has a truely gorgeous guitar.

[oBIGxREDo]

All Bullet For My Valentine songs are written in Drop C

[Interfector35]

@oBIGxREDo

Some of them are in Standart D :P

[theonelink]

@oBIGxREDo most of scream aim fire album is in standard d including this 1

[RodolfoAlvarez66]

he has emg pickups =)

[EVHfanxz]

[Hartlesswolf]

Hhaha We the people lol. Yea he is frakin amazing. To bad i cant play gutair or id look up to him.

[rostoccer]

[Darklordbrink]

@julle41 you are correct. That's how they play it live

[tarydon2010]

fuck, padge fuckin` rocks

[HObo478]

the second section sounds very similar to 4 words to choke upon

[jkol323]

what tuning?

[christl2206]

@jkol323 in this vid its drop c. but i think live they play it drop d. i am not sure

[possumx24]

@jkol323 drop c i think

[psycotheguitarist]

@possumx24 drop d standard

[FCValle]

i didnt like it.

really, bad tone.

[theScytheofGod]

The best guitar teachers I've ever had weren't the best players, they were the ones who could explain the technique the best.

[smiley261963]

This DVD is an extremely valuable tool for any guitar student. I bought it for my son and it helped him improve so much. We love Bullet so he was happy to learn from Padge - Hey, will Matt make one too? Ask him will ya? ^_^

[slashmadeGNRdammit93]

When I first heard that solo I thought it would be hard to play but its actually not that bad.

[STifF0092]

gotta get this guitar and then's my collection complete xDD

[deadman316]

I really like Padges solos, i just kinda wish he'd go crazy and really fn shred

[screamaim69]

i have so much respect for u paget:)

[timmystrato90]

estoy traumado por esa banda

[manticore117]

urgh why the fuck is this cheese magnet in my recommendations he cant play for shit ¬_¬

[LovelyCounting]

he's freakin incredible.

[6rosebudX]

gargoyle <3 xD

[nothinissound]

I love the gargoyle on his Cabinet, I was thinking about getting that very gargoyle as a tattoo.

[Bizzy1522]

He is Awesome

[BFMVCarlaCoelho]

He's awesome !

[23Fists]

On it's own, it kinda reminds me of Atreyu xD I've NEVER noticed that before

[RES1DENTxEV1L]

wicked COOL !!

[Bar025]

dude awesome! thanks!

[azzans]

Where can I get that guitar

[Temptation777]

@azzans the internet, the actual ESP is like 4500 american dollars, while the LTD is around 1000. the ltd doesnt have the graphic. go to drumcityguitarland(.)com for more info

[corycrosby2010]

[elvandal22]

[xmilinax]

i love him!!!

[wolfeman85]

his guitar is sexyyyy

[deNimmm]

anybody here from germany who's interested in covering bullet or making own music similar to their style?

i can play both their albums with my eyes closed but am not able to find anybody to play with.. not even a guitarist, there are so much haters out there, thats sad..

i'll put up videos of every song in a couple of days, pm me if you're interested in starting something ;)

[JusticemakerMusic]

hehe wo kommste denn her? xD

hab auch ein paar vids...

[jackfenderrox]

i wish i could but im irish lol

[johnsigurds]

where do you live?

[SCREAMOGUY16]

it gives it a dirtier nastier feel roflmfaowot is he stoned lol

[velvetrevolver60]

well. one thing i can say. He knows his instrement. and he is really good. and BFMV is really good. when i first hurd of em. i just thought oh god... but when i started listening to them. i started to really like them

[BiBaBuBeBi]

I love that Solo .. BFMV is just the Best^^

I hope I'll get the DVD soon .. And I really like their welsh accent^^

[alexgarcia2013]

My mom listens to it too!!!

We like COB and BFMV

[mitchellacruz]

good job

[Guitar20822]

I wanna get the dvd, but my parents won't let me cause they hate all the screamo stuff :'(

[arnagok]

BFMV sint a screamo band you dickhead thats the metalcore asshole!!! you fucking emo die in hel!!!!

[ThatWasMyGirl]

Why'd you have to go so hard?

[narutoandsasurocks09]

is metalcore douchebag ¬¬

[thissuxxxxx]

it's on there site to buy now

[mitchellacruz]

wat site dude??

[mack88888888]

what an under-rated guitarist, that solo has almoast everything in it! WOOO!

[pakismyname]

haha it does. very basic stuff though

[HappyByAKilowatt]

wat do u mean by almost everything

I'm a beginner I really want to know wat this all means

if I can know almost everything on soloing that really be a kindness ^_^

[givemefreakinusename]

I'd disagree. I'm sure that Padge is capable of amazing stuff..but he's never shown us any of it.

[YogSothothOfGuitars]

I disagree .I think he´s a terrible player. And BFMV sucks,.

[givemefreakinusename]

Biased against him because you hate them. I'd say I'm biased for them. He's not one of the bests, but he is certainly not terrible. He practices six hours a day. I can assure you that he can play way hard stuff..You can't judge a guitarist by what he writes. Jeff Loomis doesn't go off and shred randomly in nevermore. He writes stuff that sounds good. If you judged him by what he plays in his albums...you'd terribly false conclusion.

[VFKRazorback]

@givemefreakinusename I think we can judge a guitarist ONLY by what he writes. All of those famous rock guitarists, we can't really judge them by what they CAN play, because they can play pretty much everything... That won't change, no matter how many people think It's not that way. It doesn't matter how many notes a solo has, but how much feeling each of those notes have. Anyone who thinks there's a guitarist out there who learned 5 chords and got famous for it, should think again.

[jodellstasic]

@VFKRazorback Justin Bieber. He's a complete ripoff. He doesn't deserve the fame he currently has.

[ljadrake]

@YogSothothOfGuitars then maybe you shouldnt look them up idiot, get a friken life

[bilbotitface]

@YogSothothOfGuitars

then why watch a vid abot bullet u fuking cunt

[9TailedFox344]

@ YogSothOfGuitars

YOU ARE SUCH A FUCKIN PENIS! GET OUTTA HERE, YOU DOG TURD!

[J214]

@YogSothothOfGuitars You can have all the opinion you want about their band, but you cannot deny his talent like that. He is a very good player, and you have horrible taste if you can't hear that.

[singarantia]

maybe

[Krankfishhead]

@mack88888888

take it low, he is not underrated, he is no special guitarist.

[billyfreeka]

@mack88888888 I thought the same the first i tried t play it! He is really good! I saw bullet live on third of december....and he shredded. it was pretty awsome ;-)

[inBREDmonkeyz]

you can usually get it at any guitar center or you can just order it online.

[ChesterBennington21]

Were can i by the DVD? I want it really bad!

[chickenblaster98]

we the people want to know when the hell is it gonna be out............

[Afflictionband69]

when will this be out seriously omg they said summer, then august then early september, and now its october an no dvd wtf?

[booom34]

very nasty the beast is in him

[guitarwailer7]

it looks like the gun inlay is gizzing. lol its ok cuz Padge is allowed to have that on his guitar cuz hes awesome.

[rockettqueen666]

Padge is awesome

[UnderDeceptionMetal]

oh god. his vibratos are orgasmic!

[zombiegreencard]

its not out yet why.............?

[Afflictionband69]

when does this come out

[515psychosocial515]

if you're talking about scream aim fire its already out lol

[TheSynysterVengeance]

the dvd douche :P lol

[bullettriviumbodom]

thats ana amzing sound? What are his pickups?

[DreadEnds]

EMG 81 bridge 85 neck

[AmbientAura37]

Padge is such a beast!

[RockLineDoNotCross]

Yeah I play it slow but i can't fast..

[thebigboss1212]

Can i get this sound or something similar out of a hss stratocaster ?

[xXEmoDrummer7Xx]

wow hes an amzing guitarist and a mad good teacher he broke it down in a way that u could actully understand

[zombiegreencard]

does any body now when this comes out

[albertb4mva7x]

wow man padge is an awesome teacher i learnt it really fast cant wait for the dvd

[brbbns1]

well, no matter what tuning, some of their songs that are in drop c you can still play in Drop d, Like waking the demon is in c but you can play it in e standard(wtf?) yea, the only difference is the fret positions(duh) and to get the low c power chord, just use the C5 but use the g for the top, to help give it more bottom end, Its not the correct way, but it will suffice though. :)

[thetoobnoob]

Bullet NEVER use Drop D. They used Drop C for the whole of The Poison and previous tracks. They used D tuning (1 step down) for all on Scream Aim Fire except Heats Burst Into Fire, Waking the Demon, End of Days and Forever and Always, for which they also use Drop C.

[deatheb]

They also use full step down for Say Goodnight.

[MLXrox]

Im pretty sure that Take It Out On Me was Drop C.(not totally sure)

[bucabrandon]

No it's a full step down.

[skrew255]

actually scream aim fire is in drop D only waking the demon is in drop c from that album

[deatheb]

Scream Aim Fire isn't in drop D. Dude, learn your tunings. Drop D is standard tuning with a drop D.

[firelord2112]

wrong drop D is when you tune all for strings down one step so is D-G-C-F-A-D

and drop C is C-G-C-F-A-D

but you were close

[RoAdHaVoC]

are you retarded?

DROP D is where you DROP to a d in standard

DADGBE

DGCFAD is D STANDARD, or ONE TUNE DOWN.

your welcome. lol

[staticxfrk]

ur an idiot, learn to play guitar

[deatheb]

Who are you telling to learn to play guitar?

[staticxfrk]

some fag that doesnt know the difference between drop d and d standard

[deatheb]

Ah, I see. And idiot?  Why.

[staticxfrk]

Anyone that trys to act smart, like he was, is an idiot when he was obviously wrong.

[deatheb]

Oh, yes. Thought you were calling me an idiot.

[staticxfrk]

lol i dont see how you thought that.

[staticxfrk]

also the persond name is firelord2112

[bulletmaniac69]

it sounds so different when you play it that slowly, like a piece written by beethoven lol. i love it

[deatheb]

Most of everything they play is in drop C D-A-F-C-G-C. Some songs are in standard D tuning D-A-F-C-G-D. Also being that it's full step down.

[xXmatt409Xx]

drop C is (from low to high) C G C F A D !

[staticxfrk]

i didnt know they played 7 string guitars lol... idiot

[HeavenlyArmed]

This proves that guitar hero charted it wrong. The taps are triplet style and the beginning only has one of each higher note and three notes in between. And also for all you people I'm pretty sure only one song from Scream Aim Fire was in Drop C and that was Waking the Demon. Even the Crazy Train cover was in D standard.

[atla18]

Hearts Burst Into Fire was in Drop-C, along with Waking the Demon. The Low-C adds a nice bassiness to the verse riff in Hearts if you bar your first finger like they do

[ShredByDeath]

No, you're wrong. hearts burst into fire, forever and always, end of days.and last to know were also in drop C

[TheShadyPenguin]

Guitar Hero charts lots of shit wrong.

[sk8monster112]

nobody cares, guitar hero is for posers who wish they could skillfully play a real instrument

[emosandwich19]

very nasty.

[emosandwich19]

nice guitar I want it. almost as much as matt tucks.

[RoAdHaVoC]

except the crazy train and saniterium covers, bfmv plays in drop c or d standard

[therockhouse]

Evilsonic7 , Sorry about that, I totally messed up and forget to give our web guy the code. It should be fine by morning but until then you can use code FX123789. I'm human!

[Evilsonic7]

Dude i'm sorry, mistakes happen.

I'm the one that overeacted.

[Evilsonic7]

It won't even post my comments.

[therockhouse]

Ahh hello, what is this here, is this not a comment that is posted?

[Ch0uf]

like actualy i picked up my guitar to try that but .. failed horribly :/

[therockhouse]

Try again, do not give up
