[AlphagraphicsCom]

You make that look way to easy

[goyitoolguin]

I want a good brand of guitar (Gibson, Ibanez, Jackson, or ESP) with EMG's but I bet they cost alot

[MrRockmeraj]

awesome lesson man good job... it helped me lot..cheers

n emg rocks good tone ...

[NickW0608]

this was an AMAZING help, thank you so much

[metallicagreat1]

How long did it take you to get to play this solo?

[kizo570]

no one is going to learn the solo like this! you dont speak and you dont have any tabs!!!!!!!!!!????!!!!

[ColmIncendinall]

@kizo570 You shouldn't need to rely on tabs. You have your guitar, eyes and ears I presume? (No offense if you're missing any of those :-/ )

[RjCarin0]

@ColmIncendinall dont worry that guy is just missing a brain..

[diego59x]

@ColmIncendinall hey dude. thanks for posting this.

i pretty much learned half of this solo thanks to your video.( and screw the guy that said to put tabs. he is never going to be a good guitarist if he relies on tabs....jimi hendrix didn't use them LOL)

but my guitar only has 21 frets, so is there another way to play it?

[ColmIncendinall]

@diego59x thank you, with 21 frets its hard to hit the high E because you have a massive bend to do on the 21st to reach that, maybe you could pinch harmonic on the 15th fret of the B string, bend that to an E and pinch it at the same time and you will hit the high E at the correct pitch (very very tricky) or else you could try hit a harmonic and a tremolo pull-up to reach it..

[diego59x]

@ColmIncendinall k thank you. :)

[BraveNuword]

@kizo570 I learnt this solo from Colm (thank you brother) ... from this video !!! its not difficult .. pick ur guitar ... start playing more!!!!

[ColmIncendinall]

@BraveNuword Anytime, thats the key, less and less people are relying on tabs and more on their ears.. I plan on doing a lot of "no tabs" lessons in the New Year. Thanks :)

[BraveNuword]

@ColmIncendinall kewl ... vl look fwd to it brother... and wish u a very happy and promising 2012. :)

[Imartenal]

@kizo570 I also learned this version ,it was alot clear and easy to learn. Still playing that way today and learned it a year ago. Great job Colm! Keep it up!

[paraglidermx]

@kizo570 What are you talikin about ,,,do you need it slower??If you want to play it bad enough you will learn.

[Thedarkkorn]

PART 7 is veeeeery hard!

[Tobougg]

This kid has the best natural ability of anyone i've seen trying to do a cover on the net, only problem is he doesn't play it all together :\ can you do one of you actually playing the whole solo? Just to see if it sounds like mine lol

[ColmIncendinall]

@Tobougg I have a full cover of it in my channel!

[omgih8you]

i hate kirk hammett so much rite now, i wann cut his hands off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PUNKBASTER23]

What amp did you use?'PLEASE RESPONDE

[ColmIncendinall]

@PUNKBASTER23 in description

[MultiThrashmetal]

@ColmIncendinall thank you so much i hate tabs for solos id rather see some on play it in slow motion thanks again

[laconchatu]

thnx man , this help me a lot, the intro solo in the guitar pro tab its too complicated

[cumi2boy]

Not bad...

[KoRnhead12]

i think the last part is the easiest part of the solo

[dusted04]

fuck this i need to start on something a little easier

[sebaslanders]

nice video! so good ! :D

[blkacid]

have 3 solos to get sorted on in a week. this is saving me serious time, thanks.

[xKtulu]

Wow! Beast tone dude! I never knew how hard this solo was...

[bnnkhardcore]

very clean. Love it

[TheDoReMiFaSolLaTiDo]

litlle slower plz?

[Za1dorade]

I CANT SEE SHIT YOUR FAT ASS Fingers are in the way lol.

[ColmIncendinall]

@Za1dorade you mad?

[Za1dorade]

@ColmIncendinall Kinda am lol but can you seriously make one that has tabs and the camera is set on a better angle?

[ColmIncendinall]

@Za1dorade the title says NO TABS. This video is to teach people to learn it without tabs... Count the frets if you have to!

[Za1dorade]

@ColmIncendinall :/ Than can you put the camera in a different angle it would help me a lot :D

[ColmIncendinall]

@Za1dorade you can see the fret markers... Have you actually tried it or are you trolling?

[Za1dorade]

@ColmIncendinall lol. I have tried it, I can see it and everything but it would just help if the camera was on a different angle.. and no im not trolling.

[MegaMitchell07]

@0:04 is the coolest fucking sound i've ever heard...

[hekotak]

FUCK I DONT HAVE ENOUGH FRETS

[ColmIncendinall]

@hekotak you need some super glue and copper wire!

[quiz9146]

@hekotak well then...bend

[hekotak]

@quiz9146 22 fret 1 string :D

[ColmIncendinall]

@hekotak sorry for your loss :/ I have a 21 fret strat.. Its pretty hard to do on that!

[Usserywea]

thanks to guitar pro and this video i can play the creeping death solo!! yuju!!

[gangstergregs]

cheers dude helped alot :D

[groszek1003]

You play this licks on neck hambucker - emg 85?

[ColmIncendinall]

@groszek1003 No i use the bridge hamburger - EMG 81, the 85 is a lot smoother

[groszek1003]

@ColmIncendinall I have DKMG too, but only with emg 81. How you record video + sound? Sound in boss , video - cam , and sony vegas?

[HailToJackDaniels]

great tutorial! I'm learning faster with this, thanks a lot.

[anival2sorto]

May you please do Fight fire with Fire lesson?

[MrMegazuki]

Good thank god for youtube guitar videos, with tablature printed out it goes much faster. in the dark ages i had to figure out all sorts of finger positioning before i could actually go for learning the song :) now i'll get started on learning this ! you can say there's something from being self learned the hard way, but man sometimes you just wanna get trashing !

[lorenzo152857]

damn i get lost on your fretboard!! LOL

[strengthlove12]

this solo takes practice to get it clean . ive been playing for 3 years and i've always played this solo in a way to make it sound like the actual solo but never got it clean this is my 5th day on it and its coming out great xD thanks

[Fago544]

part 6?

[SomeoneStoleMyPants]

WHAT GUITAR??

[ColmIncendinall]

@SomeoneStoleMyPants JACKSON DKMG!!!!!

[ZeroElementZero]

@ColmIncendinall For the fucking wind.



[ColmIncendinall]

@Cellwrath yeah

[ColmIncendinall]

@Cellwrath you dont think this is a good lesson? maybe you should go back to tabs

[Qu3ridity]

@Cellwrath

I guess that if you can't follow this lesson by ear, you should not even try to play this solo.

Really good lesson, I can follow it nicely, even though I'm far from ready to play this solo! Keep it up, really neatly done! :)

[azulcrema16]

de huevos!!! se escucha cabron!!!

[236987451]

WTF DUDE! I thought i will never know this solo (Im a rhythm player). And i saw your video and now i can play it! Thanks you man! You Rock!

[ollipuppet]

Thanx von "ollipuppet" GREAT JOB !!!!!!

[DIETAL9]

Perfect man! this video really helped me, you dont need tabs its better practice hearing it =)

[egexxx3169]

They are EMG'S arent they :)

[ColmIncendinall]

[Eloctic]

Would really love if you had played the whole solo without the slowmo thing ;P

[ColmIncendinall]

@Eloctic i have the whole solo up on youtube :)

[adeypayne]

[cyclone2508]

[00CactusJack]

well done ;)

[Loucozinho]

You Rock * (y)

[BillMotorRocker]

; )

[BillMotorRocker]

Hey Guy , this so good

[BillMotorRocker]

Hey Guy , this so good

[Rockheroish]

generally. how long time does it take you to become fast enough to play this?????

[ColmIncendinall]

@Rockheroish The slower you practice it, the faster you will play it in the long run. With that in mind give yourself maybe half an hour a day at it, and obviously depending on how long you are playing and your experience.. If you're an intermediate i'd say a month?

[Holycrap27]

what notes does he play in part 3??

[shahrukh02061993]

HEY BRO,,,NEED HELP....PLEASE TELL THAT HOW O GAIN THIS MUCH SHREDDING SPEED? I AM USING A 1mm plectrum,,is that ok? ALSO TELL THE RIGHT TECHNIQUE AND EXERCISE TO GAIN SPEED AS U ARE AWESOME AND I WANT SOME GUIDANCE,,,PLEASE REPLY

[ColmIncendinall]

@shahrukh02061993 Practice slowly and your speed will get faster. 1mm is ok yeah!

[shahrukh02061993]

@ColmIncendinall thankz,u really rock

[shahrukh02061993]

@ColmIncendinall thankz,u really rock,and how much time it would take to increase my speed?

[Holycrap27]

@ColmIncendinall dude, can you do the entire thing slow, I got the parts, but I can't put them together.

[ediek915]

FAR from correct... honestly why post a lesson when you know it's not accurate... I mean posting a video is one thing, but calling it a lesson is another when it's so far off from the original.

[ColmIncendinall]

@ediek915 Which part do you think is far from correct? I know its not exactly the original solo, I learned it by ear, and I posted the lesson because there were no decent lessons on YouTube to begin with. You strike me as a whiny bitch.

[mEgAmESmIK]

@ColmIncendinall It's correct the only thing is that there are no sweeps. It's more like a triplet run according to the official tab book.

[ColmIncendinall]

@mEgAmESmIK Yep, its a triplet run but its actually sweep picked with the right hand. So technically it is a small sweep section, just over those 3 strings

[mEgAmESmIK]

@ColmIncendinall It's not sweep picked with the right hand, it's alternately picked ifu want to get technical. Watch him closely when he plays it live, you can see it quite clearly live in mexico.

[ColmIncendinall]

@mEgAmESmIK no, I don't wanna get technical, because I don't think it matters. Its such a small nuance, I think the sweepin motion is smoother than alternate picking. Personal choice.

[guitarplayer9090]

@mEgAmESmIK same here..



[HammerCOB]

@ColmIncendinall He is such an ass. I hate those idiots. He cant even play it. Why would he then click on lesson video. he is just a stupid fuck. You are doing a great job and dont care about those pricks who arent respecting your effort.

[ediek915]

@ColmIncendinall Don't be so sensitive. You could have stated your case and left the 'whiny bitch' comment out. Again, post a video and if it's not right, that's fine. Post it as a 'lesson' and you better expect serious criticism. To answer your question, develop and ear for music, listen to the song again, and then YOU tell ME what's not right. Nuff said.

[ColmIncendinall]

@ediek915 no, not 'nuff said. Yeah I could have left that out but.. Your comment was just.. Anyway no disrespect but my question is/was, which part do you think is far from correct? I don't think any of it is "FAR from correct." I like and appreciate serious criticism, but not when its in the form of yours which is half criticism and half having a go at me. If I didn't like criticism I wouldn't reply to the comments.

[ediek915]

@ColmIncendinall Well I apologize if it seems like i'm "having a go at you", not my intention at all. It's been a while obviously so i'll have to listen again and will be specific with my response.

[ColmIncendinall]

@ediek915 Ok well in that case I apologise for the whiny bitch comment, but do get back to me on the part in question, because I do learn from others opinions.

[whoosoo]

hey man great lesson there.., But in the shredding part from 2nd fret up to 12th fret was not clear, it's not being seen clearly in the video...

[123MetallicA1234]

thnx! this really helps!

i have learned the first half of the solo today :D

i'm gonna do the rest tomorrow :D

[3acdc3mtlca]

if you rearange the first three notes of part one it kinda sounds like a whole new world from aladin

[TwisterGates]

the sound of your guitar is outstanding!

[TheMasterofshred]

Man, damn you sound fu*king AWESOME!!!!!!!!

[mauri1770]

what is the name of this distortion?

[fretsofdeath]

@mauri1770 fucking hardcore distortion

[bigbear159]

what pick up set r u using



[Metallica1111beatles]

helped a lot man thanks!!!!

[MrHeavysteel]

Thank you man, even if you say it's not correct it sounds pretty similar to real stuff. First thing is you actually took some time to explain us how to play this solo while there are other guitarist who have 100.000+ views to their video and in comments i saw other players begging them to do a lesson or slowed down version but their ego is so big that they don't even read comments. So thank you for not being so egoistic person. GREAT JOB dude, i subscribed !

[dued27]

GREAT VIDEO MAN!!!!

[niklasgiden]

Greetings from sweden! This video helped me alot. I like your stuff, you are very talented. Keep up the good work!

[acrawford69]

you think you could do and justice for all or seek and destroy by chance

[adiller77]

cool demo man.. It's awful close to what one I been goin by on tabs. I've been working on this solo for awhile now.. Got the notes remembered.. it's just working it to speed.. My fingers and hand dont move as quick as they did ten year ago.. LOL

[Quinten264]

About how many months and or years of experience should you have to start improvising guitar solos? (Not involving video)

[PentchoGuit]

@Quinten264 I play for now 3-4 years and once you have the basics of theory and technic you can start imnprovising. Although you won't be super good guitar improviser with no practice. Simply try each day at the between or at the end of your practice time to improvise anything on a scale. Easiest scale to start with, I think, is blues scales. Then you can go on internet and look for Blues back tracks in A. Hope it helps

[Intervanisfi]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOW SO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

[mkzz410]

what guitar do u have i think its a jackson dinky dxmg but im not sure

[ColmIncendinall]

@mkzz410 DKMG man

[jake666metallica]

how long have you been playing guitar??? ur awesome!

[metalmaniac17]

great video man, you make me wanna learn the solo!

[0adireita]

this is not a how to, but only a slower version.

[ColmIncendinall]

@0adireita This is a how to. Using your eyes and ears!

[metalfusion12]

Yeah i think its the best way to play by ear ... its all major scale and modes in the key of G i cud figure out by ear thanks man .......

[Infmda488]

@0adireita Dude, if you can't figure out how to play the solo from this, you probably shouldn't be trying to play this, keep practicing and try again later.

[0adireita]

@Infmda488 who said that i cant play it? are you retarded?

[Infmda488]

@0adireita, to answer your questions, you did as you complained that the video was not a how to! And no but I believe there is the strong possibility that you may have some sort of mental deficiency or a severe lack of maturity.

[TheOMGbbq2000]

what did u use to get tht tone on your guitar? it sounds amazing! ^_^

[ColmIncendinall]

@TheOMGbbq2000 Boss Micro BR

[gh0stmasta]

awesome lesson and pitch perfect bends dude! love it

[ryanmadara]
