Devin Townsend - Instructional Video (part 2)

[sp1r1tcrsh3r]

HEVY DEVYS RACK OF GLORY

lol

[MartyFriedmanRulez66]

Isn't that the Stephen Carpenter sig?

[DimebagDisciple]

lol "Hevy Devy's Rack of Glory" 2:10 what a douche :D

[TheHappyFaceBoxMan]

So take his seven string tuning, and take it down a half-step. That would give you-

F#BF#BF#BD#

And then you have the range of an eight string on your seven. No need to buy another guitar.

[D2ezbmu]

Long live the skullet!!!!!!!!

[jamy313]

@D2ezbmu hees completely bald now though

[landslide85]

Funny bastard

[Corrosive1]

Love his sarcasm and humour, lol. "HOORAY, you figured it out you special little albert einstein!"

[obedyohn22]

cant wait to c u tonite Hevy Devy!!!

[Harrysound]

The Dr Emmett Brown of guitar

[flesheatingvirus70]

defin. chaO

[cha0s3ngin3]

at what stage in the signal chain is the OD808 fitted i'm assuming it's in the front end of amps. any one got any ideas???

[munkeyWITHbeard]

@cha0s3ngin3 its in front of the jd7 which passes through to the amps and fx, this might be of interest to you i24.photobucket[dot]com/albums­/c7/tgchan/HevyDevysRigOfGlory­.jpg

[ZeroGrav1984]

Devin Townsend is the metal David Letterman. Close your eyes and listen to him talk.

[hillysats]

@ZeroGrav1984

Wait you compared Devy to Letterman....?

[MegaThunderfire]

I love how his rack says "HEVY DEVYS RACK OF GLORY"

[bloodsling]

4:46-5:13 gold :D

[Muppio]

What's the intro and outro song?

[deformed666]

Talented funny motherfucker, for sure.

[cam01235]

he is so funny somtimes ..love the sweep picking and legato

[mgdth502]

What the fuck?! What are some of their albums that they play solos on? I have the SYL with the white feather on the front, I have Love? off Alien and love it, but I don't know much of their other stuff... Is all of Alien and the other ones good? What about Devin's solo albums? Please don't just say, "They're all great!" even if they are.. Thanks for any input guys!

[katzenrubbl0r]

@mgdth502 My favourite SYL album would be "City", as for his solo work check out "Physicist" and "Addicted". Tons of people will disagree with me, because Devin produces TONS of great music! Keep on rocking!

[shittytiti32]

@mgdth502 check out Ki check out The new black

[THEMANOUTOFTHECAVE]

@mgdth502 I would reccomend Alien from Syl (also City kills) and from his solo stuff I'd say Infiny and Synchestra.

[scottwill19]

Why does he hate shred solos so much? I dont get it

[seventhCrucifix]

@scottwill19 Jackasses play and overplay them. That's pretty commonplace knowledge. Walk into a Guitar Center or Sam Ash and tell me that more than 80% of the guitarists aren't shredding their asses off. The other 20% being the drowned out newbies and average players who just want to play the damn instrument.

[Wabaanimkii]

I can't help but laugh every time I look at this guy. But damn do I love his music.

[SusanaNeves7]

This guitar is beautifull!

[deicidalmaniac]

F#BF#BF#BD#

[metalheadblues]

heavy Devys rack of glory

amen!

[jaydakap]

I love whores!

[lucif3erum]

what's that song they're playing at the end where he says he sucks dick? lol

[lucif3erum]

"ah ha i'm a whore"

[airfish12]

Hey!

There´s like a godzillion commentaries here, dont have time to read em all, so I ask directly: does anybody know exactly what brand and what type is that "new-black" 7-string from the beginning of this video? The picture quality sucks, can´t figure it out form the video.... plus I´m like a bit snowblind, so please if you know, let me know. In the name of Devin the Omniscient, Devin the Omnipotent and Devin the Allmighty.... THX in advance.... ;o)

[BadDevil421]

@airfish12

It's his EMG Horizon custom 7 string...you won't find it on ESP's page since Dev's contract is over with them I think. I'm looking for this model for a long time now with no luck whatsoever.

If you find one, please let me know... :)

[airfish12]

@BadDevil421

I see.... thanks a lot for answering.... if I find one, I let you know. Though there´s not much chance here, where I come from, the market is too small.... BUT: Dev´s comin here, just 50 clicks from my home, which is unbelievable!!!! There´s a DTP show on March 22 and I´m gonna be there, at any cost !!!!

[airfish12]

@BadDevil421

And a question for you, since you´re so well informed: do you have any idea why he put a single coil at the neck on his new 7-string custom Peavey? It was supposed to be "the ultimate metal axe", and as such I would expect a big fat humbucker at that position.... Maybe he changes his mind, before the thing goes to production....

[Bollehamsteren]

@airfish12 Humbuckers in the neck position tend to get a bit muddy. I suppose the single coil is great for soloing, which is usually done on the neck pickup anyway.

[airfish12]

[richardlpalmer]

@HAHAushinka I don't think I'd know what to do with that tuning...

[AlxMiNeR]

[Hateeternal2009]

he should play guitar with the other "skullet" of metal, Dude from Nile, bet that would be one heavy ass album

[DMfan1994]

I like his white pick :3

[emptyhighways]

Are there any instructional videos on how he does his out-of-this-world vocals?

[richardlpalmer]

@emptyhighways That'd be awesome!

[PaddingtonBear88]

I SUCK DICK FOR CRACK MONEY!

[666MetalMatt]

God i love you devin

[DVCproDme]

I saw a strapping young lad vid on t.v. not too long ago, and it was insane! violent metal barrage lamf. dev looks like a maniac and was way scarier than any of the black metal stuff i had seen before.. then i got bored and decided to check out some vids here, and he's real collected, and pretty funny..knocked the wind outta me, super mellow background music. a great player too! the maxon pedal rulz ass dood

[MetalPersian]

lol. hes bein humble. he probably got all the chicks in high school.

[kofikenghis33]

not with that hair!

[ibuypeace]

he only started losing his hair in the mid 90's if you check out the video for detox he has a full head of hair there

[underneathie]

THE NEW ZAPPA!

but completely different....

hope you throw out some of those sweet pics at the Toronto show.

KEEP METAL ALIVE, BREATHING AND FUCKING OUR FACES!

[Jeijo1]

wow, lame! hahaha laughed my fucking ass off! Thats a line I will use from now on!

[mustasparta]

baha

"IMA WHORE"

[aezeon]

correction: he says the tuning is all 5ths (except e) but thats wrong, C if the 4th of G, and reversed its a 5th, so its an alternating pattern of 5th and 4ths, starting on the 7th string: G, 5th, 4th, 5th, 4th, 5th, 3rd... 5ths and 4ths are non reciprocal in consecutive order (the intervals do reverse however if played backwards- decending the scale

[misellus7]

because you know more about the way he tunes his guitar then dev does?

[topperspoppers]

@misellus7

haha yes actually he does... devin also says in a bunch of videos i can play it here on well i dont know what note this is...

[aezeon]

apparently yes i do

[mrsamsa]

you know what else?! i suck dick for crack money!!!

hahaha, love dev

[ArnBucketeer]

He looks like some mad chemist or wizard in a lab.

[DIRECTORIOLIMA]

One of my favorite musicians lately...

the way he told a funny story using metal in ziltoid was very brave of him...

[basstard013]

Funny guy :) Hugely talented.

[joshua1614]

wats that song at the end?

[SteveBrownOfficial]

I so like his sense of humor.

[foldedeggs]

Awesome to get to hear that wild part of Wrongside solo.

[Soilwar]

"HEAVY DEVYS RACK OF GLORY" bahaha!

[Petruccinho]

Man, I need more of his CD´s, but my CD stores here are so lame...

[Sc0ttPrian]

most of them are. i bet you could find eminem in Any store..

[cleric471]

Lame? are you serious? Don't hate just 'cause Devin got millions of fans worldwide and Nobody gives a flying fuck about your guitar skills and shitty ass band. I'm no huge fan of SYL or his own band but this guy can write some good songs. Great comedian too!

[Metalfan757]

He was quoting what Devin says in the video...

[skogenburzum]

I like how he says "I know I'm not the best guitar player in the world..." and then plays a really kick ass riff.

[williamtheconcreter]

he was only quoting devin after the shred section guys...

flame after thinking

[opyate]

He was quoting Devin - see 5:43

[VelvetKev0rkian]

Is that 3 EMG active pups in his 7-string? Its hard to see.

[InMeRaven]

It's 2 big bass-like EMGs.

[darbdavys]

[OndskapensHersker]

no, only 2, one in the bridge and one in the middle, no pickup in the neck position:P

[Andreasleon27]

[Rama1118]

Man I love him.

[metacarpied]

[invertedchords]

woodshedding? w@ts th@t?

[stvhr2]

Woodshedding: meaning to practice or hone skills, particularly musical skills. the origin is from the fact that for purposes of privacy people would go to their woodshed to practice without being overheard
