[wretcheddog]

thx, thumbs up! d0_0

[NickDAwsome]

"Last Resort" by Papa Roach has a nice riff in the background during the verses.

[xxguitargirl94xx]

Nice tutorial! It will really help since I only been playing for 2 years. I have a question. Where did you buy that Alexi Laiho 200 guitar? I want to buy one with a pink finish instead of the yellow since I'm a girl and I can't find any of these guitars with a colour finish, the only ones I can find are the black ones with no color on them. Thanks!

[warrgrave]

@xxguitargirl94xx its a jackson guitar its not a laiho signature..i would get a jackson rr they are cheaper then the esp and they play just as good

[LOKOLOKO52]

@warrgrave better* coz is jakcson

[245ikl]

Something like Tonight in flames by Cradle of filth o.o

[benheiss]

To bad my Pinky is mentally challenged!

[ChrisCasperrr]

Could Someone Give Me Tips On A Good Starter Guitar And Pick-Up. All I Have Is A Stratocaster And Heard They Suck Since It's Single Coil. idk. 

[Whiskeyfirst]

Hey nice, cramps! :)

cheers man.

[mattconsul]

this help me a lot bro! thank you so much!! :D \,.,/

[wanso452]

dude can this exercise work for acoutic guitars? because I want to be preapared when I get my electric guitar :D btw whats the avarage price of that guitar?

[llamacaptain]

thats really the second string in the 5th fret

[laxorange]

you should add tabs for that first one or at least say fret numbers. It would help haha

[playalot86]

I enjoyed this a lot. One thing I would like to say is that these exercises are not only geared toward speed, but also technique. I saw a lot of flat finger going on on your pinky finger. Nice video though.

[xxx1570]

HI man, one advise: try to keep your fingers 2mm-3mm from strings when you play, you can be much faster..your second finger is too high! try it, serious.

[warrgrave]

@xxx1570 yeah i know i have got a lot faster ......but this is geared toward more of the less experienced players all this is...is a good place to start to learn if you want to really learn then watch alexi laiho, and malmsteen!!!! not me i suck compared to them im not claiming to be the expert just want to share my knowledge

[tpeterson83]

Thank you for this little but very important lesson!

[jackassfilms69]

Dude Your Really Good How Long Have You Been Playing ??

[warrgrave]

@jackassfilms69  7 years

[chidhumetal1993]

@warrgrave dude i've been playin for like 2 years an i cant even play 1\4th of the speed man...... if i try i playin fast,i end up muting the notes...... i use an acoustic since i am a beginner...... help me.....

[linuxwave]

@chidhumetal1993 how often per week or whatever have you been excercising during the last two years and how long are your sessions?

[chidhumetal1993]

@linuxwave everyday.... it lasts from half an hour to two hours..... but i dont do just the exercise..... uh... i try to play some songs..... am i going to fast????

[linuxwave]

@chidhumetal1993 it depends. the songs should, of course, match your current skill level. there's no sense in trying to play something you technically can't achieve just yet. get the techniques down you need to use and then play the song.

[chidhumetal1993]

@linuxwave yeah.... i know the techniques all i need is speed..... anyway thanx for the tips dude...

[Azereiah]

@warrgrave More important, how much do you practice a day? :3

[warrgrave]

as much as possible --i try at least a few hours a day

[IxMadSkittlesxI]

The intro to "Smoke em if ya got em" is a great finger exercise and its pretty similar. Nice vid btw helped a fair bit :)

[NiveK686]

Beautiful guitar!

I love it!

[CrazyGraham18]

[PAA1992]

[DaddyDYJH]

Thanks :D ^^

[1994fishcake]

[WildKoolAid13]

@brianrawks123 hmm alexi have no jackson signature -_-

[brianrawks123]

@WildKoolAid13 well i mean like he uses it alot btw wat tuning you using

[WildKoolAid13]

@brianrawks123 ok. well actualy i like to play in D standard (1 step down) but i also play in C#.

[TylerHaagenson]

love the mjolnir pendant dude

[MetallicA777777777]

man thas cool for practising thanks.

[leopower7]

PLEASE HELP ME!

Whenever i Downpick to another string, my pick kinda gets "stuck" and makes it hard for me to move down... any tips?

Going upwards is fine, downwards is the messed up part...

Any help would be VERY appreciated

[warrgrave]

try using a thinner pick...or just loosen up your grip a little

[C0NTR0L55K]

@warrgrave whenevre i have a problem with something i think the only way to fix it is to just practice your way through because "practice makes perfect" always works.

[warrgrave]

@C0NTR0L55K having the right gear helps to

[WildKoolAid13]

@leopower7 ya like warrgrave said , make sure your confortable when holding your pick , dont force on holding it just hold it like if it was part of you and dont try to puch to hard you know , try to pick as smooth as possible (not like hitting the string) and well if you already do that well... change your pick.. idk..

[leopower7]

@WildKoolAid13 yes, thank you.

[kingkatz999]

@leopower7 pick with your pick turned to the side

[digitalph5]

@leopower7 try a thinner pick... and try to make an 45 degrees angle between the strings

[1wingedangelff7]

@leopower7 you could use a thicker pick and loosen your grip. don't strangle the pick. but don't allow the pick to fall haha

[fireiron123]

the first lick is part of a diatonic scale. its the main block

[ProudSpeakerofWhale]

Thanks for uploading! This was really helpful and I'll definitely be using these exercises.

[speaks66]

Dudes headless???

[earthman202]

thanks for the help

[whitetshirt101]

wow good job keep it up

[Soulfulshreddify]

loved the epic PC lol...

[warrgrave]

its kind of similar but its actually part of a mode

[WildKoolAid13]

@warrgrave Dorian ? (not sure , i dont know alot of theory righ now :D) but am trying xD

[WildKoolAid13]

@WildKoolAid13 just saying cause i wanna know if am right and if i understand those :D

[KingOfShadows1500]

this isnt the second string, its the 5th one, ure dumb!!!!!!

[warrgrave]

Your obviously not to bright i recognized that i made a mistake and i annotated it as the 5th string....but hey at least i don't suck at guitar...

[lepoglav]

are you fast?

[irocklalot]

haha he put the tabs, so random

[M3talNov4]

cool

[baseball19182002]

5th string not 2nd

[indicaskunkbudz]

great vid.... just a little constructive criticism though, try keeping your fingers closer to the fretboard. I dont know if you were just doing it for the video to emphasize or better demonstrate what you are playing but i thought id throw that in there.

[warrgrave]

yeah i was just exaggerating the finger movements for the vid

[snowbunny1001]

your hand looks like a spider!!!! lol... awesome.

[funboy323]

thanx dude... good stuff

[sSlayerrrrrrrrrrrrrr]

CoB is my favorite band lol.

[dunksdu3]

yea! cob ARE AWSOME!, and yea great video Bro

[M3T4LM8]

do you palm mute in this video?

[warrgrave]

yes but sometimes i dont palm mute for demonstration purposes to really hear the notes...but when you actually playing the exercise palm mute.

[wdfaw]

do you like pantera (Dimebag=HERO)

[ragnarroc]

i just checked this vid out on accident looking for something else,but sweet vid i actually just sold my alexi .....sweet ass guitar....my used to pick up whale sounds........god dude i miss my sweet guitar.whoever shops a st.charles pawn in MO...get it

[warrgrave]

its actually a jackson guitar not esp.....but its basically modeled after laiho's old jackson

[Drakeshit]

this is awesome, gonna try it right now :) thanks man!

[jmasterd5]

can i modify the first one and use it as a riff in my band?

[kurtisfenderstrat]

yo thts sikk thanks man, will tht help ur picking hand also? like for metal stuff

[warrgrave]

yeah practice alternate picking you will get faster

[666IDK666]

sweet excercises i played em till my hands hurt

are they your own?

[warrgrave]

yeah the first ones are my own. but the chromatic ones are not.

[Pestarklo]

hey man thanks for the tips

[koryfknbrine]

haha wow war grave i use the exact same exersise as that man wow hahaha awsom tho ,you fucked up on the first one tho :P great work good speed cheers

[warrgrave]

yeah i no i fucked up lol everybody does sometimes

[koryfknbrine]

hapend to john petrucci once i saw a vid of it so if he can fuck up im sure your aloud to fuck up once or twice :P

[lowa91]

thanks! that'll be very helpful ;)

[StevNor12]

what's with the high quality vid? did you get a new camera or something?

[warrgrave]

dude got a new camera its sick...sony t500

[StevNor12]

Nice man. I need a camera with this quality. I think I paid more for a camera that has less picture quality than this. Fuck it.

[shaykai]

Great Vid WarGrave :) I like stuff like this. I am definitely going to practice some of though chromatic stuff, although I don't think I will be nearly as fast as you for a while. I'm curious, what type of camera are you using? I'm in need of a new camera that isn't too pricey, but does widescreen and HD. Yours seems to have great sound too.

[warrgrave]

yeah its a sony t500 it kicks ass.... i got it off amazon for like 230 but its worth it... its small compact and amazing quality. the only thing is you have to buy a memory stick separate, and i bought an extra battery cause its battery life isnt the best. but those are two small cheap accessories and its worth it.
