Mastodon Show How to Play "Divinations" Guitar Lessons

[casperado666]

gingers are taking over the metal genre

[JohnnyCage701]

Damn Bill and Brents guitar work is almost as good as their song writing :D

[MagniumXL]

2:54 Bill:"Really Brent? Did you really cut out of the solo early?" MastadonRocks!

[JewFin69]

@MagniumXL Nah he played the whole solo, but then he played a riff way too fast, and bill looks at him and raises his eyebrows.

[ghoawaynetcabo]

these guys fkn ROOOOOCK !!!!

[polisbatong]

you can clearly see brent's picking technique coming from playing the banjo as he also does. his hand is much more steady as he moves his fingers more, while bill moves his wrist

[PearlJamm]

wow the vocal melody really helps this one out!

[4demon9]

Bill's tone is so tits!

[MrAttentionSpan]

Brent's hands look so calm, that if there was no music you'd think he wasn't even playing. you wouldn't even expect the fury.

[gravetha]

actually Brent fucked up he got like half a beat ahead in the solo, listen to bill he's solid on time the whole time.

[MichaelsPortraits]

Band of scruffy Gingers .This music really sucks

[Djobohobo]

@MichaelsPortraits YOUR music really sucks

[MichaelsPortraits]

@Djobohobo LOL hey what did I do.....I'm just an innocent observer

[rockshow256]

GUY WITH THE RED GUITAR, LOL HANGOVER

[PeanutButterGtr]

2:52 UH OH!!! Bill done fuck'd up!!!

[mrghostnzl]

Freaking sick vid. Reminds me just how good crack the skye is. Never liked the production on it tho.

[RalphieLOVe1]

haha epic ginger beard

[lralbrecht]

this is useless if you don't have eyes or ears..

[Benzorg1]

If you honestly can't learn anything from this, you should give up guitar. Tuning is DGCFAD by the way.

[njudndudi]

"Dude we have the same hair color let's ware identical colored shirts too!"

[maxxo1o]

Behold the power of GINGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[IllusionaryMind8]

People complaning about not learning anything should read description...

[JohnnyCage701]

You mean Zach Galifanakis looks like Brent Hinds.

[ohhcomely]

this is awesome but how does this help at all lol

[njudndudi]

They look like pirates!

[Pyromancer146]

@njudndudi Pirate Metal? :D

[njudndudi]

@Pyromancer146 absolutely :D

[mrcrowley951]

probably the shittiest tutorial I've ever seen...........and not kidding XD

[01Rater10]

@mrcrowley951 I learned alot from this

[leonoff89]

wow dude has a tat on his forehead crazy

[dauntSilver]

so um.. what is the tuning again?

[01Rater10]

@dauntSilver D standard i guess

[amelapyramusic]

0:25

we have now successfully trained monkeys to play guitar

[13Champlin]

This video did two things for me;

1. Showed a playthrough of an amazing song.

2. Showed me how I can't hybrid pick.

[4demon9]

Brent has tiny hands.

[tokiisawsome]

Is it just me or did u guys see a subliminal message in between their heads? I swear I saw it atleast twice. But idk?

[0ivo0]

i don't know about you but i dind't learn shit

[mindmolester7]

mastodon with 7s would be the best....

[Alvedon500mg]

Thight as a virgin's ass...

[METALHEAD88881]

ok wat the hell happened at the solo? u cnt even hear it

[carbonquiznoz1]

Cool SG man!!!

[beserker1912]

If you wanna hear the seperate tracks, put in headphones. BUT take the right one out to hear just brent, and the left one to hear bill.

[CrazyGroup311]

I want to play this song so fucking bad!!!

[MrMagnificentX]

soooo how do you play brent: 2:45

[Aardolar]

like if you singing  along and pretending to be brann at the same time

[AntonDoesMusic]

2:55 Bill: "Brent, WTF are you doing?"

[GrimJack2K]

@AntonDoesMusic yeah - he's like "Brent, you wrote this, try to remember it"

[TheBlackmetalhead]

1:15 it sounds so JUICY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[karrbomb]

Divinations by The Zach Galifianakis Experiment

[MichaelsPortraits]

@karrbomb lmfao

[MusicWhore10]

oh now i know how to play it

[WickedShots]

@MusicWhore10 Yeah no shit right? This helps a ton. [rolling eyes]

[4demon9]

I swear to god, Brent and Bill could pass for brothers.

[sameoldbullshit]

Can Someone tell me what scales they are using, pentatonic, blues, diatonic, maybe?

[BirmJr]

Damn brent got way off time on the solo lol

[guitarbassist95]

@BirmJr Not really. It sounded quite similiar to the album.

And it's a Mastodon song. Fuck the timing.

[MrStagepotato]

I watch this every day, I'm just amazed by Bill's guitar sound, so good

[Byobrulez]

2:54

Bill: "What.. The Fuck."

[mrghostnzl]

@Byobrulez  hahaha

[Byobrulez]

2:54

Bill: "What.. The Fuck.."

[todd8333]

Fucking gay ass comercials, youtube cock suckers has to put on.

[flyingwhaletamer]

big fuck up at 2:53 or what?

[pineal2012]

Holy shit, my cock just grew 3 feet long!!!

[TheOpethOfMastodon]

What pickups is Bill using?

[MrStagepotato]

@TheOpethOfMastodon

Just the ones that came with the Gibson Les Paul Custom he's playing on, so I assume those are Alnico 5 Humbuckers

[TheOpethOfMastodon]

@MrStagepotato thanks bro!

[powerfuran]

Great song! I finally learned this, the intro was a bit tricky because of the hybrid picking thing, I was not used to it at all. It turns out that I am throwing hybrid picking unconsciously wherever I can :)

[yeaibet716]

2:54 Bill's face hahaha

[randyrhoads159]

Damn, their tone is fucking awesome.

[b4zii12]

what tuning is this in?



[skatedude724]

@b4zii12 D standard

[skatedude724]

@b4zii12 D standard

[nausea87]

notice the look from bill to brent when brent was slightly off @ 2:54

[271189a]

@nausea87 I feel like i have that face glued on when my mate solos over my rhythm.

[skotamsu19]

How many people tapped their feet and hands to the drum parts and sang the lyrics while watching this? I couldn't help myself!

[MrMatyboy3000]

Aaahhh Mastodon, Showing Gingers have souls since 1999

[JoRdOguitarman1]

@MrMatyboy3000 dave mustaine been doing that since 1961

[MrBertStone]

and they do this singing.......fuck thats having balls



[redstar2424]

hahha Brent fucks up and Bill gives him a funny look, totally understandable, when ever my friend that plays lead guitar does some sketchy shit I do the same

I swear those lead guitarist sure get on my nerves sometimes hahah.

[CptK96]

@redstar2424 Yeah, I can admit to getting to carried away as a lead guitarist...

[keaton121]

the pre chorus is pretty gnarly.

[tylermenges]

i wish it had a link to the tab

[joelioz]

lol at 2:52 brent goes a bit to quick on that part and he gets a slight eyebrow raise from bill hahahaha anyone else notice that

[guitarrhythymfool]

There's surprisingly little gain in the guitar tone. Damn.

[caltrof]

I know people love Brent but Bill is way underrated. He's one of the best rhythm guitar players I've ever seen. His right hand technique is great.

[pegasuslover97]

@caltrof definitely. notice how the difference in both of their wrists at 2:12. Brents hand is angled upwards towards him which works, but its kinda cheating and doesnt really sound as good, i do the same actually haha. But Bills hand is just straight the whole time and moves so slightly every time he picks saving a lot of energy, it almost looks like a robot hand.

[ambassadorofpain1]

The guitar work is mind boggling, so original and thought out perfectly.

[fexfreppl]

häh!? wusste garnich , dass trolle gitarre spieln & wie goil !!

[darlordthecynic]

You two are literally some of the greatest guitarists of my generation. Time and time again Mastodon's songs never fail to impress me and its all because of those golden fingers of the gods.

[NavySealRay]

@darlordthecynic well Brent and Bill got The Shredder Award at 2007 Golden Gods,so i'd say they're pretty talented too.

[1fetoch1ful]

their playing and sound is very unique... and VERY fucking good

[pgriff69]

i swear brent looks like alan from the hangover :P its howels

[ScreamAimFire111]

BAHAHAHA the guy on the left is the funniest looking guy ive ever seen!

[merdionalpuppy]

cazzo di un dio

[NavySealRay]

@grendelsbeard yea,tell that to Troy Sanders's face

[grendelsbeard]

51 people must be bassist, cus we all know they're just frustrated guitarist.

[schwepsiguy224]

@grendelsbeard you must be some foreign retard who doesn't understand how to use articles when typing out sentences then feels the random need to bash on perfectly legitimate instruments

[Mr360Sam]

@grendelsbeard The bassist from this band is fucking EPIC. Dont ever talk shit about any bassist. Have you ever played a bass guitar? Ignorant shit head.

[dchalf10]

@grendelsbeard

Lol. You basement swelling diddler. Look at some of Flea's live bass work in The Mars Volta and tell me you could do it with a straight.....alphanumberical sequence of characters.

[FagsLoveCountrymusic]

@dchalf10 Flea did studio work for the mars volta, bass and trumpet. Never toured

[Ananth22by7]

@grendelsbeard You, sir, are an ignorant shithead. Do you know what Cliff Burton, Troy Sanders, Steve Harris and John Entwistle all have in common? Bass guitars and a very respectable place in music history.

[DeadlyDictator]

@grendelsbeard <<<< bassist...

[supervillan]

@grendelsbeard (i don't think anyone got the joke, or that you were trolling.....)

[JoRdOguitarman1]

@grendelsbeard David ellefson wants a word.

[jomarthegreat1]

lol, i liked it when they caught on to the fact they were slightly out of sync... that 'glance' that says it all

[UtopiaMinor666]

weed helps...

[jsneezyalfie23]

GINGERSSSSS!!!! ATTACK!!!!!!!!

[socalrep091]

why didnt they edit out the mistake @ 2:52 ............on the bright side it shows that we all make mistakes

[theoutlawtornfixxer]

que culo

[BetterThanCableTV]

How is this a lesson? It was awesome and all, but I was hoping to learn a song and it doesn't even tell me the tuning XP

[papegojaz]

@BetterThanCableTV I suppose it's a preview.

[melvincrover]

skills

[zombiedude1411]

Zack galifinakis? Lol

[Godisinmyface]

Holy shit..its Ryan Dunn!



[Cixelated]

There is something so gnarly about these guys and Baroness. It's like they have something playing together we can never comprehend. It makes me wish I was in the band. It feels like I'm being left out.

[thundermorphine]

I'm not so much into these guys but I have to say that Brent Hinds looks exactly how i would like to look like if I dared. Greatest look in rock.

[Adamshredsify]

Brent is my hero, one day i hope to have a beard as awesome as his.

[StaticXFM]

I want "How to play lessons" for Mastodon's drum parts ! :D

[1curis]

@StaticXFM

Why? It would be a Sergio Leone close up of Brann's face and him saying "You've been defeated."

[Samus5164]

@StaticXFM Not sure you'd be able to handle it much, especially with the white whale still at large...

[ryandaniel31]

@StaticXFM they haven't found a way to slow Brann down! haha.

[awesomerocker26]

Those two are beastly

[Thehideby]

TURN BILLS AMP UP!!!

[OZZMAN430]

Not much of a lesson

[Spieleschummler]

They're looking like banned forever in the Studio to create weird sounding awesome music stuff, servants of hell >:D

[dominicanthrasher]

wheres the how to part lol

[DarthSivius]

saw them live yesterday (@ Graspop Metal Meeting) and I was just blown away, these guys are great musicians!

[thehuntill]

Brent looks like Ryan Dunn

[mutantcolors]

Thanks for the informative lesson in how I suck at guitar.

[Bonecracker101]

@xxJimster94xx or he could deffen their ears to where they can only hear rap and pop.

[wakehamhimself]

lol at 2:52

[KjellEiriks]

This was not a lesson, but it was cool anyway

[the1984olympics]

Haha such a great lesson. I think I got it!

[irontuskman]

what guitar os the guy using on the right?

[rugbyboyish]

@irontuskman Gibson 68 silverburst I think

[sabrakazama]

@rugbyboyish yeah it would definitely be an original '68 all the mother-a-pearl has aged to yellow almost.

[angrykoolaidman]

Wow. Great lesson. I totally know how to play that now.

Seriously, that was awesome.

[rugbyboyish]

@angrykoolaidman You just gotta watch their hands and you can learn it tis piss easy

[sndgarden]

@rugbyboyish easy yes, the freaking timing... that's a bitch

[MrChadthemonkey]

gingers....

[Abfallkannibale]

You guys rock hard! Keep being evil, I love ya! The 6.6. in Hamburg is burned into my heart deep and forever. You made me a happy man. Thank you!

[sndgarden]

You made Orville Gibson proud up there in Heaven!

[DylanGruenloh]

i fucking love mastodon man, theirs no one else like em and theyre my inspiration for guitar, brent hinds and Bill Kelliher are fucking amazing, i hope to be half as good as them one day

[FooFly089]

Wow... Brent looks like Matt Bonner from the spurs! XD!

[drjakim]

i dont think they have enough tattoos

[styot]

The only think I learned from this "lesson" is don't try and play Mastodon... it's too fucking hard. :D

[DylanGruenloh]

@styot amen to that brother

[TheCorruptionlives]

@styot It'd be quite easy if they showed the music or tabs with it IMO. It just looks hard because of how well they play together.

[Bitchflakes666]

@styot doesnt seem to hard to me

[metalmulisha1125]

@Bitchflakes666 Post a response video of yourself playing it. It's fucking hard

[ZJtraylor]

@metalmulisha1125 I always thought that about seek and destroy and master of puppets, really if you just sit down and practice it over and over again it almost becomes second nature. You dont even think of it as hard.

[mclovin92005]

@ZJtraylor Both Master of Puppets and seek and destroy are pieces of cake. ^_^

[ZJtraylor]

@mclovin92005 Haha the solo in seek and destroy kicks my ass every time.

[TheCukies13]

I am singing along with the song lol

[StrikerTheLizard]

LOL at 2:55

Bill is like "WTF are you doing, man?"

[metalheadtilimdead12]

wtf @ dislikes

[adri2771]

surf rock for life!! ahahahahahah!

[rohouse1990]

Lol. The Add before the video started showed me the new Braun Cruzer. A shaving add before a Mastodon vid. Lol

[WindWalker940]

this song is my favorite of crack the skye for a reason

[yeaibet716]

Bill's right hand looks sick as hell when he picks, how are they both so good at guitar!

[androp131]

Amazingly wonderful..Brent looks like the guy from the hangover

[TheGreyMan93]

@androp131 No, the guy from The Hangover looks like Brent.

[mynostrils]

2:54 is priceless.

[MrJeppelin]

Now that´s a guitarlesson! You just watch it a couple of times and BANG!, you´ve nailed it.

[mikul93]

Never listened to Mastodon before. This was awesome!

[atgf45]

Woah, I just realized that if youre wearing headphones, the left channel is Brent and the right is Bill. Badass.

[zzgtrplyr121]

this is sickkkk

[swedishbutcher]

man theyre in good sync

[zantoine]

ginger

[theweird95]

in my band we have only 1 guitar and we want to play this song but at 1:07 can we use the octavia?

[zackypooofillinois]

@theweird95 you can do what ever the fuck you want. it's your cover brah. experiment, make it raw XD

[Abfallkannibale]

Pure awesomeness ^^

[MasterofPuppets99100]

MASTODON!!!!!!!!!!!
