Trivium -Guitar One (January 2007 issue)

[MatKiller1197]

why are they so noisy (the pickups)

[AVFC0711]

such a pointless video, its like they're just tryin to show off

[madchild0709]

matts pinky makes me laugh.

[RTSRAZORBACK]

2:43 "Hi, my name's Corey. I just like to sit here and casually shred so fast I wear my fingers down. Whilst not looking, because I'm awesome."

[andrefrferreira]

matt has such a badass pinky

[herochuck1]

Also, personally i like both of there styles but i think corey is a bit better than matt because corey knows at least some theory

[herochuck1]

I like how corey stops at 2:43 as if to say "yup theres my favorite pattern" But then the guy filming the vid was probably mouthing to him "Go light speed with that lick" and corey was all like "Sure"

[GNRslash28]

all of these instructional videos with Matt & Corey have Matt explaining something the whole time then Corey doing some fast little solo part

[yeabudie745]

LOL Coreys just like..."pffft...."and Matts like "Ok...got this.."

[pollolaroka]

maestrosssss



[Sakeroz]

Both Deans?

[Rockerboy3872]

Corey taps with a pick? what a n00b, pick tapping sounds like shit, everyone knows that...

[alexi66691]

@Rockerboy3872 hahahahaha he still gets ALOT more pussy than you can ever imagine though!

[omeganukestrike]

@Rockerboy3872 No. It DOESN'T sound like shit. Because if it did you would see thousands of people saying it did when you are the ONLY one out the hundreds of thousands of fans.

[Rockerboy3872]

@omeganukestrike No, I'm not arrogant, but I'm one of the few (on this page, anyways) who knows enough about guitar playing to know that tapping with your finger sounds exponentially better than with a pick, don't pull that with me, you're probably one of those people who think Kirk Hammett is actually an amazing guitar player....

[Flames262574]

@Rockerboy3872 people do it however they feel more comfortable.

do you still insult people's styles? what a noob.

[Rockerboy3872]

@Flames262574 I don't insult ppls styles, tapping with a pick is something you should not do, that's all.

[Flames262574]

@Rockerboy3872 again, it doesn't matter how you do it, downpicking fast stuff is aonther thing you shouldnt do but metallica still does it, they also say you have to use your index finger and ring finger for chords but dave mustaine uses all fingers for his spider chord

nothing really matters how you do things

[jaidonnn]

@Rockerboy3872 you are incredibily arrogant. In guitar playing it doesnt matter how you do things yes there are ways that make it easier or do sound better but it all comes down to preference. Are you going to say that Marty Friedman is a horrible guitar player because his picking technique is unorthodox? judging from the comments you've posted i wouldnt be to surprised to hear you say you do think friedman is bad.

[Rockerboy3872]

@jaidonnn Look man, I'm just talking about one technique, I'm never gonna diss friedman, he's one of the many Gods of guitar. Tapping with a pick sounds bad most of the time, that's it, its just IMO, get off my back

[MetalHeadEmperor]

Corey at 2:16, "god damn that pinky of his"

[samrooks123]

@MetalHeadEmperor Coreys on the left :L matts the one with the god like pinky

[Killer9299]

@samrooks123 lol he's double jointed thats why it looks weird

[MetalHeadEmperor]

@samrooks123 i know, haha... i was just saying.. thats probably what corey is thinking... :), i mean just look at him.. hehe...

[beauschleder]

Is it just me or does Matt look like Micheal Jackson from 3:01 to the end?

[69Thrasha69]

1 word Jari Maenpaa

[wilkinad1]

matts pinky is fuckin crazy i love it

[lz420lz]

i think there the best metal pair of guitarist that i know

[juiceboxmonster]

@lz420lz You're kidding right?

[WilliamBonneau]

@juiceboxmonster They are one of the best new duo's. Like since 1990 whos been a better team of guitarists?

[juiceboxmonster]

@WilliamBonneau Marty Friedman and Jason Becker (Megadeth)? Reb Beach and Doug Aldrich (Whitesnake)? Come on man Matt and Corey are not bad, I'm just saying they're not the best. And that's obvious IF you know good music. It also helps if you're a guitarist.

[WilliamBonneau]

@juiceboxmonster Cacophony was a back in the 80s I mean thats on the scene today since the nu metal trend died. and white snakes even older! :P

[juiceboxmonster]

@WilliamBonneau Haha true Whitesnake is old. Okay well 1990's and up would be All That Remains, Children of Bodom (Laiho & Kuoppala), even Li and Totman from Dragonforce :)

[WilliamBonneau]

@juiceboxmonster Okaye imma keep being difficult, All that remains is all Oli Herberts writing the other guy dosent do much. and Children of bodom are Good but personally I think trivium is better working off of each other... Dragon force is better than trivium as a duo? Im not even gonna pick that one apart! XD but I guess its subjective.

[juiceboxmonster]

@WilliamBonneau Dave Mustaine & Marty Friedman (Megadeth) and that was in the 90s. Synyster Gates & Zacky Vengeance (Avenged Sevenfold). And I'm pretty sure COB is better than "good" lol. But it is subjective like you said. Therefore, I think Trivium is mainstream and overrated :D

[MegaBarger]

@juiceboxmonster your gay

[juiceboxmonster]

@MegaBarger Thanks queer

[MegaBarger]

@juiceboxmonster eat shit ya spick

[juiceboxmonster]

@MegaBarger Lol I'm not even hispanic dumbass. Grow up fag

[MegaBarger]

@juiceboxmonsterwho cares spick fuck you and quit talking shit cuz u know ud get ur ass beat if we were in front of each other and u were talking to me that way, u know ur safe behind ur monitor so shut the fuck up douchebag

[juiceboxmonster]

@MegaBarger same goes for you dumbass

[MegaBarger]

@juiceboxmonster yea ok

[darthsasuke554]

@juiceboxmonster lol Gates is good but nothing great

[WilliamBonneau]

@juiceboxmonster Dave mustain and chris broderick (newguy) is pretty bad ass and i just seen avenged live a few weeks ago there pretty good, but trivium is less mainstreem then COB these days, and same with A7X.

but thats besides the point matt & correy are my favorite duo, and there bad ass :D

[juiceboxmonster]

@WilliamBonneau Cool man. Each to his own. All in all, metal rules. Agreed? Sweet.

[joniiboy]

@lz420lz Matt and Corey and Kiko and Raphael from Angra, they are a sick duo aswell

[kirkmetalupurass]

yea corey wearing an annihilator shirt fuckin awesome!

[OfficialTorn]

i think corey is technichly better with like speed and ability but matt is smarter, not with theory shit, but the stuff he rights and how cool it sounds, either way, there the 2 smartest people ive ever known.

[CounterCulture87]

Dude, Matt is so much better than Corey it's hilarious. Corey is the lead guitarist too! lol (Corey is still awesome though!)

[AhsanU]

@CounterCulture87 Corey actually knows far more guitar theory than Matt. Matt also can't seem to stay in key when he improvises his solos. Mainly in the Detonation solo that he's been playing live as of the past few tours. They're both great guitarists, but technicality-wise, Corey out-edges Matt by a mile.

[amirgurung]

corey is so funny

[bobjoemoe8]

could anybody hear what matt was saying in the beginning? lol

[slpknotmilan]

0:02..

[tnt420tnt]

i do that same alternate picking exercise corey does even the cowboysa from hell one

[ShittakeBukakke]

Holy shit, Corey might be better than Matt.

[guitaRNoob911]

@ShittakeBukakke he is

[jeyvc]

heey could someone tell me where i can get matts guitar strap please?

thanks!

[cthulhuchild19]

@jeyvc: guitar center or look around online.

[angle2200]

what are those scales called?

[GibsonGuitarist666]

@angle2200 Pentatonic, and minor scales.

[machinaecity]

WTF Sooo Fucking Amazing !!!! MAtt heafy is the man xD

[jykonrock]

matt and corey FTW

[feret1993]

corey and matt are so under rated. zack wylde my arse

[PhatJoe170]

@feret1993 yea dude wylde plays nothing outside of pentatonic solos. you need to mix in some modes and scales and unpredictability like these guys

[erniesux]

the third sweep shape it´s minor as well

[ReaperOfMen]

@erniesux I think its actually an augmented arpeggio, which can be a little awkward a first but sound pretty good after a minor sweep.

[SlasherX27]

lol i guess, but that last lick is also like one of the easiest ones of them to do

[ticosexy22]

Final lick its killer!

[jeyvc]

Hey can anybody tell me which guitar belt matt is using, please?

Thanks!

[soapy945]

I seriously want matts Razorback in this vid!

[xHavokx09]

Floyd Rose's are difficult!

[kar98ksniper]

haha lol

[Baspvn14]

@airmatasesalan i think you mean bored

[TYLERBECKER94]

Love the Annihilator shirt

[vuk1221995]

noobs

[Alkurac]

Haha, Corey through this whole video looks bored as fuck... Probably because this is sooo easy for him. Haha, he's the God of guitar.

[rageagainstrox]

haha i agree

[schtoinky]

i could watch them do this all day lol

[deerhunter45628]

I have met them and drank with them..pretty cool guys

[PillarOfSerpentsX]

O RLY?

[METALLICADDICT1993]

fuck you synster

"AND LET THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS ROT IN THEIR JEALOUSY"

[metalligeek093]

god i idolize these guys now

[geicowithdagheko1]

how is it a joke?

[Drucef]

because there are way better bands and musicians that don't have the benefit of getting paid to tour. Heafy's dad is loaded. That's why.

[masterofrhythm]

well i still like the music so i dont care

[jacksonDXMG]

Someone having money outside of the band doesn't have shit to do with touring. You get paid to tour by having the combination of a good promoter to work with and get into good venues, and good managerial staffing. Being signed to Roadrunner doesn't hurt either.

[Drucef]

Someone having money outside of the band doesn't have shit to do with touring? LMFAO. What do you know? Money controls everything. If your dad was a billionaire, he can buy you the best equipment, get the best studio recordings, and pretty much pay your way into getting good promotion. The guys from Nile (for instance) struggle to just pay rent. They give lessons on the road. Plus, they dominate these guys. Money is everything at this level. You're really out of touch with the real world.

[deerhunter45628]

Heafy lived on New Waterford in Longwood..not exactly Beverly Hills

[yakmuck]

Big bag of suck.  It's a SUCK BAG!

[Drucef]

LOL pretty much.

[Varmenthunter2]

HOLY SHIT matt heafy's pinky finger freakin quick

[Niallphillips]

@Varmenthunter2 its only hittin 1 note tho..

[harmonicminorshred]

@Varmenthunter2 Pffft. Mines quicker. Next.

[thrasha666]

at 2:36-down syndrome kicks in :P (im not hating i love trivium and i got to chill with them at a concert before)

[synysterace23]

At 2:36 Corey is like "Fuck This!"

[pantera142325]

deans are great washburns there is only one esp i really like

[dasiaj103]

i'm gonna get a guitar and i'm new at it so does anyone have any suggestions like dean ibanez tc. i'm tryin to play haradcore post-hardcore deathcore etc.

[cthulhuchild19]

try jackson, esp, ltd, ibanez, washburn, maybe dean, ive personally never been a fan, but those are good for most metal. and of course thats only a small portion of getting a good tone. the amp can greatly do wonders for a tone of course. good metal amps: krank, mesa, peavey, B-52, marshall, randall, theres a lot.

[s1uff1sc001]

Schecter, Jackson, ESP

[beenoopo]

its amazing how controlled they are when they play it so fast, they look like they are just ticking over! :0

[balancedperftech]

Corey almost got his eyes poked out. 0:02..

[kirby47]

lol that was funny

[EVILWS666]

LMAO. He spins his chair around and then.. " O_O WTF"

[MrFreddiebrandt]

@balancedperftech lol

[CrackeTheSkull]

@balancedperftech bleeeeding out the eyes (bleeding out the eeeyes)

[Thapogge]

Corey looks totally bored :P

[Captt95]

When matt plays the last riff of the video, any1 know the tabs?

[kirkmetalupurass]

fuckin love this vidoe this how i got into trivium matt and corey you guys fuckin rule

and i love how they do everything like its the simplest thing

[dumbsign]

wow the ratings is 666

[Caayaaa]

I wanna see matt and corey in 10 years more, they will probably be the best guitar players in the world at that date. Considering that matt is 23 or something like that and corey the same...

[FreestateofOkondor]

corey is 25 or so but nevermind if you listen to the callisto-solo you can say that these guys will be even better than the grandmasters of our time

[DetBlirSkitBra]

For sure!

[wilkinad1]

@FreestateofOkondor like callisto is like the best song ever

[Nighthawk77x]

i agree they'll def be damn good

[killwithme012]

since when do guitars with pickups on fretboard (for tapping) exist????

[TheNeto1500]

Trivium Rules¡¡¡.........XD

LoL

[soapy945]

i love razorbacks so much im gutted thet switched from them. I WANT MATTS GUITAR IN THIS VIDEO!!

[TommyMendo]

Matt uses that last blues scale riff in almost all his solos. Go listen and see for yourself. Matt and corey still shred major fucken guitar ass though.

[jbabcock5630]

Whats the video matt talked about? anyone know wher ei can get my hands on it?

[pickles0306]

i like the part where they gave the lesson

[JaredFury]

Matts Pinky Is Scary As Hell lol and odd looking

[sedativeman]

Was the part from 2:57 the tapping section of the intro solo on Becoming The Dragon?

[JaredFury]

yeah

[nightwishje]

hahaXD LOL!  look at corey at 00:03. hahahaXD

[soapy945]

lol matt at the end doing his riff is just looking at the camera guy like . . .yeah im this good!!!!! which he is!!!!!!! hail trivium

[nnatenn]

corey and matt r such great shredders. at 2:47 corey's just like i guess ill look at the fretboard now.

[HabErNarOcamAr0o049]

excellent

[Brett21794]

Matt's pinky is on steroids!

And I met both of them at mayhem fest, they're awesome!

[slashowns102938]

@Brett21794 HAHAHAHH!

[MegaMatt1991]

I love matt and corey they are two of my favorites to watch...so sick

[dedenuff]

Holy hell....these guys must have been playing when they were still in the womb!

[6ArchEnemy6]

They are both totally awesome guitarists, hands down. They play this shit like it's nothing!

Btw, I love Corey's face at the beginning when Matt almost hits him with the guitar :D

[Hantiac]

Thak u.

[otherrandomhero]

Hahaha, I love Corey's "Christ I'm bored" look at 2:14 when he's spinning in the chair.

[goatgoesbahhhhhh]

hahaha, lovin' the DT reference! He's right though, JP's rock discipline DVD's a fantastic learning tool, anybody looking to beef up their alternate picking chops should definitely pick it up.

[MrRonytz18]

look coreys face at 1:15 - 1:19 he´s like " WTF!"

[MrRonytz18]

ps: witch one is better corey or matt i know both are amazing guitarist but i would like to know...

[RideTehLightnin]

corey is definitely better, but hes also lead guitar

but the reason i say this is i can play some of matts solos but when ever i get to coreys its just a wall sometimes for me lol

[MrRonytz18]

thanks

[z0mgzt0m]

lol hes probably thinking "i wish i could play that" XD

corey ftw

[Justicemaker]

Heafy's pinky ftw

[mdoggx]

matt heafy's pinky is not a pinky~!!!

that is something else!!!

it moves too fast!!!

[francesco149]

[theclavious]

Metallica fucking sucks..Megadeth owns them.

[Sauron767]

[nolifetillleatherr]

[meatsnax03]

[KayJayDK]

NO THATS MATTS SHIRT! Sorry dude xD

[nolifetillleatherr]

[SilentHeaven109]

It's an Annihilator - Never Neverland shirt, classic album btw :)

[almostsk8er01]

annihilator

[hiddengen]

damn i love that last riff from 3:02. i know it's part of one of their songs but in isolation it sounds so bluesy, it kicks ass

[TheHOmac]

I've got that METALLICA T-SHIRT !!! OH YEAH

[BartinixP]

damn matts should use a noise suppressor its annoying listening to!

[PRESTOSAURUSREX]

3:02-3:08- Kirk Hammett-ish.

[cathodic11]

reminds me of anthem(we are the fire) too

[PRESTOSAURUSREX]

i agree.

[Gsph719]

its just bluey

[XxxGeorGe7xxX]

Metallica shirt !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[wellsey69]

Its thereotical knowledge that puts petrucci right up there i thnk

[Kaoskadosk]

Why are people downrating my comment? Face it, some people are better than others, Petrucci is a guitar virtuoso and is extremely skilled, far more than these guitarists, who look up to him. They even say they use his exercises to warm up.

These guitarists are good, no doubt about it, its just that the gap between them and someone as Petrucci is kinda funny to see, cause it makes you realize just how extraordinary Petrucci really is.

[peaveylove]

ya, petrucci is damn phenomenal. agreed

[spidanez]

everyone also has to realize that these guys are A: 20 years younger just about than petrucci. B: not even in the same genre. i love dream theater and john petrucci is one of my favs. but in years with maturity these guys could be as good as john. they have a lot of learning to do, but as far as speed goes they are good. they just need to focus on clarity and knowledge. i wish that i was as good as one of the three.

[JaredFury]

But These Guys are Still Pretty Kick Ass.

[X3MUSEWOOO]

Yeah he's not saying they're bad

[JaredFury]

What

[billyhanna420]

what does corey's shirt say?

[Boffey5]

Annihilator, they are a metal band from 80's/90's they're probably one of the best metal bands ever IMO

[Nekrosadistic]

annihilator
