Alexi Laiho-Teaches the Lead to Living Dead Beat

[anasasisxeno]

Like it but don't understand why there's a keyboard really??

[silverkudo]

"and a little bit faster" drrrrrrrrrrrrrrram done.

[kilifish93]

i need a video with the solo in a loop... it sounds awesome with the backing track

[davidamarat]

I hope Mr Laiho dont get his mind blow up before he achieves more age and experience. So in future we cn talk about a real master, in one or two decades.

[bronzejusthawk]

which one is the fucking awesome song in the beggining???

[lionhart47]

@bronzejusthawk "Trashed, Lost & Strungout"

[ThrashMetalSonata]

if you activate the subtitles and select transcribe audio at 3:25 you could aprecciate that alexi playing his fourth string sounds like god

[Bruno1P]

at composition levels, alexi is Unbeatable!!!

GO ALEXI!

[ZzUnforgottenzZ]

HE IS UNBELIEVABLY GOOD!

[Dimerah]

@ZzUnforgottenzZ balls

[Aoimusha412]

Ugh, I can't help but look at his posture when I see Alexi play! I mean I respect the guy and think he's great, but he has so many bad habits that make him look noobish when he plays

[Devoidkaan]

He messed up badly from 1:45 to 1:47

[FilipPS3]

i got the 1000 like

[Tigemite]

@FilipPS3 FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[yallsaythat]

@Tigemite you rage you lose

[JoKeRzCaRdProDucTion]

i dont get why everyone says this is hard, this is one of the easier COB songs lol

[linkindudeLP]

What should "much faster" be for him?

[OneOfTheLast1212]

can someone plz tell me what the name of the song is at 00:15?

[blubbermolch]

@OneOfTheLast1212

its called "Trashed Lost & Strungout " :)

[EnergyHoshi]

'A little bit faster' my ass

[ProEditerForU]

@EnergyHoshi haha i was thinking the same..he says a little bit faster...and then BANG! its looks one badass solo

[69Scandalous69]

ICH WILL DIESE GITARRE!!!!!!!!! T__T

[espalexi666]

I love the way he`s struggles playing it slow, and the qhen he plays it up to speed he fucking nails the thing. Alexi is my hero

[TheGnasty1560]

1st 1 sounds like an irish folklore tavern tune bro--ur still 1 of the best guitar playaz outthere fool!

[newman09]

@TheGnasty1560 i was just about to say that, sounds amazing

[imran12045]

Pink frets... Fucking awesome!

[OneGun09]

The only thing that drives me nuts about some of their songs is that fucking harpsichord you can hear under all the guitar parts when he says "with a backing track". It would sound so much better with just a harmony track or just to get rid of the fucker all together.

[rawrcat57]

what is the song that's playing when it says "complete metal leads #4" at the beginning?

[thechickensandwich]

@rawrcat57 in case you havent figured it out by now, its Trashed, Lost and Strungout. One of their best songs.

[Itmeow]

i never relized just how hard this part is...

[SeattleMonster86]

is this guy like good or something?

[ryankuisti]

@SeattleMonster86 ummm ya???

[oooWONKAooo]

he really doesnt want to be there.

[yourmercifuldeath08]

0:43

anyone understand what he said? xD

[2paktolife]

is better slow XD

[MrTetrWTF]

fucking sucks

[MrsHolliValo]

@MrTetrWTF YOU SUCK! WHY DID YOU EVEN COME ONTHIS VID?>

[KraT0s1993]

a little bit faster? lol

[MrsHolliValo]

@KraT0s1993 --if I could play it SLOW I'd be happy!!!

[Drogba2108]

Finally i find a version where i can keep up with Alexi xD

[takexoncexdailyx]

well, you can't blame him, when you've advanced so much and, in suck a long time, ( he didn't just pick up a guitar for the first time yesterdqay) it's hard to remember how you think when ur just starting, in other words, when ur so good, it's hard to dumb it down for newbies :P i've been playing for almost four years, and I practice every day, i can play more songs than i can ever count,flawlessly, and i couldn't , for the life of me, teach well.even thou i no exactly what im trying to explain.

[Estill01]

@takexoncexdailyx haha amen man same with me the last band i was in i had to dumb evrything down for the other guitarist and it sucked

[BODOMSKATER666]

i love that solo

[MyWorstGood]

He's the best guitarist around at the moment and is my inspiration in guitar...however, he is possibly the worst teacher ever...no offense alexi, you're the best! but I really don't think he can teach that well...

[TIMMAY5127]

micheal padget is pretty bad at explaining to but hes an amazing guitarist go BFMV

[ConnorShawMusic]

thats pretty wicked

[SOADude666]

i wish he could have done this on a better guitar like one with a rhythm pickup for this because there is way too much excess noise from the other strings thats really audible and you can even hear that live

[thediem667]

a better guitar? lol, you're an idiot, THIS is an ESP CUSTOM SHOP meaning, IT'S A TOP QUALITY GUITAR and "rythm pickup" it's called a NECK pickup, and having one or not having one does NOT make the guitar better or worse it's just personal preference, lol a "better guitar" i doubt you even play, and if you do, you probably have a squire wich is "awesome" for having a neck pickup LOOOOOL

[gingersfly1]

@thediem667 Dont forget the middle pickup, crappy tremelo bar, and the 5 WAY SELECTOR SWITCH!!!!!!! :P

[SaintNate1]

ahha crappy Floyd rose are you mental?

[mushman05]

the guitar doesnt make the player... totally agree with you

[tips000]

@thediem667 i actually kind of agree with him man... i mean that guitar he uses in the video is a signiture series and they sell it for mucho bucks... when you could get almost the same guitar with the neck pickup for less money... and with boths pups you can get alot more tones... and it looks funny/cheap without the neck pickup even though i rarely use mine

[lmlCOBHClml]

@thediem667 yeah alexi plays lead anyway so he really has no reason for a neck pickup and i personally dont like the sound of neck pickups

[shaggyelpuertorro08]

u better put a milkshake in that ass cuz u got burn!!!!!

[skinnywhiteguitarist]

@SOADude666 it doesn't get much better than ESP Custom Shop. excess noise from the other strings means you need to play it cleaner and/or get a noise gate.

[guitars357]

@skinnywhiteguitarist A noise gate doesn't get rid of string noise, it gets rid of feedback

[Clankyinkisidor]

alexi rox yeahh metal coB

[czyscioszek]

he need a metronom !! : )

[Kaavs]

Well, he really doesn't look good there. That would explain his dull and sloppy playing. His expression was like "wtf im doing here?? Don't look at me!"

[ladas99]

yeah maybe he is Sloppy but are less he is in an awesome Band and he plays the Guitar better than anyone

[MetalAndMeyhem]

@ladas99 true

[leighlawley]

In the rockhouse lessons he was actually ill/hangover, if you watched another interview (one with henkka, that's all i know) it mentions that inbetween recordings alexi would go and throw up, which probably explains his dull expressions and tone, and i'm presuming wouldn't really put him in a good mood to be playing guitar.

[therockhouse]

HE WAS NOT HUNG OVER, ALEXI DOES NOT DRINK ALL THE TIME. WHEN HE COMES TO DO THESE HE DOES NOT DRINK. The second day of the shoot he got the stomach flu.

[lahnaclannb]

@therockhouse hahahaha

[rmarino4471]

@therockhouse maybe he just told you that because he new you'd be a grumpy gus about it buddy

[xCMxMach]

@therockhouse Alexi is drunk most of the time. But its metal so who gives a shit

[ShittakeBukakke]

Haha when I saw the comments about his sloppy playing I was like "fuck you guys!". But then I saw.... It isn't that bad though, he's still better than most people!

[linkinman48]

dude all the best are sloppy. randy rhoads, zakk wylde, and even some of the guys like thal and broddrick played sloppy. don't insult him unless you could beat him

[NicholasRundell]

So what Alexi plays sloppy? Randy Rhoads played a bit sloppy and he was a beast at guitar.

[razvaneloo1908]

awesome playing....\m/ Alexi rocks

[philbertfwog]

Overrated and sloppy. Still love CoB though.

[KGMCQuillan]

he´s style of playing is fucking epic but looking at it slow it´s so basic COB forever

[Tordah90]

dude he plays kinda sloppy :s

[ollav3]

its his style everyone has there own style of playing i play slopy but when i want to i can play clean

[JEESherazi]

@ollav3 Sloppiness is a style of playing? Fail.

[WakizashiSabre]

Maybe not perfect, but in the mix it is good I guess.:-)

For perfect play, try the classics? Yngwie, Gilbert, or Muhammed Suicmez , the leader of Necrophagist. Those are perfectionists.

[akimof]

lol.alexi is finnish ad his good. so shut the fuck up who says that alexi sucks,or his "overrated" learn to play like him and come to say again

[EnToTresko]

That guitar witgh the yellow pinstripes, is that an Alexi-200 ?

[firedracoon]

probably a custom alexi 600

[Turkeybutttrey]

@EnToTresko No its just an older model. The Alexi-200's are either in black or white. No pinstripes.

[p3rs0n42]

@EnToTresko it's either his full blow sig or a 600 model, most likely his full blown sig.

If you're after the pinstripes only, you might as well get the 200 and seach "alexi 200 pinstripes" there's loads of trick ways to put em on yourself without paint =]

[sh4d0wsn1p3r]

Whats the difference between the Alexi-200 and Alexi-600? Just the pinstripes? Is there different hardware and such?

[bodomguitar91]

there is the biggest differenece in the world

Alexi 600= neck through, alder, real emg hz pickup, better quality,ebony fretboard

Alexi 200= Basswood:(, Fake emg/esp pickup, bolt on,rosewood fretboard

alexi 600 is better in every way but is very expensive

[Slears]

I like him, but he`s really overrated..

[DeckicSerbia]

I agree :/

[6dark6alex6]

@Slears

I guess, I don't find him incredibly unique but he does have a pretty cool style nonetheless.

If that makes sense.

... And yes, I just said nonetheless.

[xxljunior]

@Slears I wouldnt say hes overrated, I think many guitarrists are to underated..

[dyingcow666]

brutal nail polish

[4nimol]

Ive tried to practice this for a long time but the sweeps in the end are damn hard

[ziggzagpoop]

i hold my guitar the same way. it's sooo comforitable.

[produccionesmiranejo]

fuuuuck

there is no way i can play that

hahaa

maybe if i practice it

but i wont be able to play it right now

i could get the tabs

:p

[iGotMetal]

i cant concentrate the nail polish is throwing me off

[UtsusuZero]

lol stop a 2:51

[TonyAzemia]

lol

[luqmanslash]

why?

[elfgrin]

If you can't drop down to C yet, or D for that matter, you can't play this song.

[chidorikakashi]

the 24th fret in D is the 22th fret in E

[eezzekiel]

22=C

[getthoatze666]

oh wow he tells as how to tune a guitar xD

i learnd so much!! thank you alexi!!! xD

[DeSpIsEdIcON100]

wooow he can tune a guitar at drop c and d :P

[keittokirjatepo]

I have nothing against Laiho but is he a bit drunk or something? The first lick is really sloppy playing and I've seen Alexi doing some crazy badass shit with a perfect touch!

[Wyvern077]

lol, hes always drunk XD

[cobhcshredder91]

nah he was really sick with a bad cold/flu during the recording thats why he looks so pale he was feeling terrible

[Borgyboy09]

i agree i reckon he's prob a bit drunk he plays kissing the shadows and even this more cleanly live

[MParseface38]

check the rockhouse-channel, it's stated that he did those DVD-sessions completely sober.

[andre5500]

cause he's doin it slow and its eaiser to play it faster

[tivomop]

nothing is more death metal than a pink guitar!! \../

[wizardofmadness]

and nail polish

[benp51]

whay is it pink!??

[MistahhB]

A bit sloppy, but it's cool.

[randomusername987]

remember kids, its not metal to paint your fingernails.

[999samsa999]

sry but...this comment suxs

what u say means alexi is not metal..O.o

if u say that alexi is not metal or smth.....even god cant help u !

[MortaniusTaijou]

Alexi is metal, dude. Great musician, I love Bodom a lot!

I am so glad his sense of fashion doesn't affect his music; or his personality for that matter lol

[mikre20]

also remember kids, it's not metal to let other people tell you what to do with your life

[Metaldeathpunk]

that comment has made my day XD

[Gselzwurschtbrot]

the beginning sounds a bit like folk to me

[homostinkt]

Trashed Lost & Strungout

[666cobhb666]

whats the song at the beginning??

[Pr1tz]

"...and little bit faster" HOLY SHIT! :D

[guitarist595]

im sorry but he fucking sucks at guitar

[dragonforce123987]

dont be sorry just dont be a fuckwit and say that sorta stuff to people that disagree with you

[scarter1192]

Im sorry but your fucking deaf

[fai9907]

por ke no me regalay esa guitarra ke esta atras ....

la tenis bota ql.......

porfa loko..

[x0scimy0x]

its funny how it sounds like shit in the begining, but then sounds amazing with the backing track. dont get me wrong, i love Alexi, but yeah lol

[Escapetehfate]

he needs to repaint is middle fingernail =)

[RICKYFALL]

jaja yeah probably.

[xhealmyhartx]

This isnt really a lesson, its more Alexi showing us how much better he than us. :P

[Escapetehfate]

lol thats what i thought

[RockMetler8]

hes so fast, that isnt normal...

but good video

[frankitoxi]

He isn´t normal. He use a pink guitar and play death metal! Fucking homosexual

[cauztophobic]

While obviously he could choose a better color, Only a hopelessly retarded fuck (AKA you

frankitoxi) would call it gay

[Cra5hnatural]

You can imagine how much i hate guyis that say alexi fucks you etc....he is better than u u will never become like him.. We know that he is one of the best so what? and you idiots that speak next time speak about your skills not other people and take pride in them...

[yeabudie745]

the only part that sounds sloppy is the slide back to the 7....everything else sounds clear to me.....

[MiikaFromFinland]

He plays kinda sloppy :F

[mack88888888]

he dont crank the gain too high so evrythin sounds cleaner.

Pros; it shows how good of a player he is, especially live

Cons; highlights any mistakes he makes in these exhibitions, still kick ass if you ask me

[XxAnnR0os3sxX]

maldito loco peligroso esta poseido

[jbeebrylle]

If you say Drop C what part string should you drop?

[kakashihatake1321]

low e

[XCallXMeXmatt]

It's Drop D then all the strings down another whole step

[blayze101]

hes drunk as fuck

[problematicboyfriend]

as a guitist myself, my point of view on ppl saying hes sloppy. hes sloppy till he gets a backtrack. its hard to keep even a simple rythm while trying to remember such a complex lead.

[p3rs0n42]

I'm a guitarist too and i totally understand.

trying to nail the We're Not Gonna Fall melody (which i only discovered the vid for on youtube the day after i learned it ¬_¬) took me like 2 weeks, (i'm not a BRILLIANT guitarist =/)

and i had no BT for it, just the timing in my head and sometimes i'd play along with the song but it drowned me out and i got lost =/

[therockhouse]

I mean i am just throwing this out there, but has any one considered that the first time around he is playing it slow so you can follow it, then plays it up to speed. By the way you say sloppy be specific explain what is sloppy about it.

[jhim767]

.LMAO.

your opinion is just outta there.

alexi has more skills than you ever will.

and yet you try to see flaws over theory.xD

dumb bitch!

[20GuitarZero07]

Alexi is a human metronome. So ridiculous

[MetalMiklos]

in the beginning i always hear that living dead bitch xD

[SilverPingvinen]

i have to say that was sloopy....man alexi is my idol ive never seen him so sloopy:S

[Whild91]

hey cum ooon :D He is on dvd and teaching some guitar stuff!! :)

[vaderman27]

It aint sloppy. Its just not mixed through a 20million band eq. Welcome to the sound of a guitar through a real amp. Not a computer, or a giant machine on top of the amp.

[daveclassicrocks]

i cant take the dude seriousely with that fucking nail polish

[Heeya13]

Dude a lot of people apply black nail polish in instructional videos so you can see their fingers better

[stepahn276]

Lol, wrong.

[SerratedAMG]

I don't mean to be a grammar Nazi, but I can't take you seriously with that bad of grammar.

[freddy692000]

that was uber sloppy

[danielafilthAILD]

who the fuck says uber?

[iEmChris]

sounds like some kind of wild west type of music XD

but still awesome

[jonwatson1993]

now that you mention it i can totally hear it.

[spyder1491]

he's such a sloppy guitarist.

[thegoodtruth]

sloppy maybe but still better than many others out there.

[AlexiJr1]

How?

[BLACKDOGCAT1]

I CAN't FIND THE TABS CAN YOU SEND IT ME?

[therockhouse]

You have to register to get them at the site and then go to the lesson support section and then alexi

[Kazooiej]

Google it. You'll find at least 10 tabs from this song

[BReal2408]

lol he doesn't just play it, he plays it TASTEFULLY (which is I guess true)

[OnThePurpleCloud]

WTF!? He is godlike...

[jhim767]

what riff in the beginning is that from?????

no bullshit

[AliceInChains243]

If you're talking about the one in the first 30 seconds, its "Needled 24/7" off the Hate Crew Deathroll album.

[eSsk8erboi]

BULLSHIT jhim767 the first one is a riff from living dead beat and the second is an exceprt from a song called Were not gonna fall

[jhim767]

i was asking noobshit.barely found out about this song.

i wasnt so into them like that a few days ago..

[TheBoredTyrant]

thrashed lost and strung out

[trevor76018]

the actual first one idk

but the one right after it is from Trashed Lost & Strungout

[nightkitten17]

a little faster??

[Slayrer95]

i posted this to a friend hope he learns this

:D

HE PWNS

[TheWyldechild26]

Alexi is such a badass guitarist. The reason he was playing sloppy is because he had a stomach flu while they were recording the videos so he wasn't feeling all that great. Still, even though his playing was messed up a bit, you have to admit he did good

[bulldrumm]

i would expect a cleaner execution from someone of his reputation. it's even his own song.

[Fractal8359]

Yeah but he wasn't wasted enough to play it properly

[TheTitxus47]

Nice guitars

[lordvivec87]

He's sloppy.

[LiquidxSquid]

Shit man i can't even alternate pic!
