8 Sting Legato String Skipping Pentatonic Lick ala Rusty Cooley

[ArchxEnemy666]

i like how you say airplanes... classic

[ayybudayy]

that was sick!!!! Check out my "betcha cant play this" on my channel. I would appreciate the feedback. It has some of the same right hand tapping sliding technique

[Aaarrrggghhification]

Cool you are sick and it's nice to hear an english accent for a change cos I'm English!

[shredmeister27]

what do you have on your headstock?

[Tempesas]

liked the lick!! but u can max the cooley-ness if u tap with T2 and T3 istead of doing a slide:P but it is still beast haha

[SamBellGuitar]

@Tempesas Thanks man :) You can indeed, but sliding is fun, gives it a little grease!

[1jacobdarling]

[DirectingShoe22]

@1jacobdarling lol

[drummin4InTheShadows]

im sorry but i chuckled at "skip down to the g-string" :}

[xWattie831x]

Hey, I've got the same guitar model, and I was wondering what the piece of fabric/material is that you placed just above the nut, and how it benefits your guitar/tone?

Awesome video, btw. Sounds perfectly clean. What amp are you using, also?

[xWattie831x]

@xWattie831x Actually, modification to my last question: I noticed in another video that you use POD Farm (which I use too); what amp model(s) do you use in your setup?

[SamBellGuitar]

@xWattie831x I like to use the AC30 for lead tones, the Big Bottom amp model I use for rhythm tones! In this video I think I am using my Roland Cube, with the Classic amp model on.

[gtrchris]

very cool!!

[metalhead9838772]

Is it possible that your guitar is a Schecter Damien Elite 8? If yes, then I have the same guitar :) I would also like to ask you what string gauge you use on your guitar. Thanks a lot :)

[SamBellGuitar]

@metalhead9838772 Yes its a Damien Elite 8, and I am using ernie ball 10s.

[metalhead9838772]

@SamBellGuitar Thanks :D

[freakguitar1]

@SamBellGuitar don`t wanna be a bitch and don`t take it too serious, but man u got an 8 string so if you tell him "10s" he will be crying cuz u dont tell him your 7th and your 8th ;D

[XxwordsofhopexX]

guitar pro or tabs???'

[SamBellGuitar]

@XxwordsofhopexX Afraid not, follow the video with tab paper as I talk through each note slowly, hope this helps you dude :)

[DjentleDjiant]

Betcha Can't Play this!

[ottawadrummer]

sounds wicked dude

[lilshene1]

Sound like some old Street Fighter video game sound when your at the character select screen. this is great!

[IronPump89]

what key is it in. or... what mode?

thanks

[SamBellGuitar]

Its in the key of A minor, using a minor pentatonic scale with a 3 note per string fingering.

[SIDIUMx9]

that is an evil guitar mate ur awesome <3

[814gt]

Watched your other videos....you've spent a long time sounding like every other shred guitar player. I hope you keep playing and you are very good at it. It's just been done a million times.

[craig20vt]

yeah thats alright if you have a hand like a fucking african nigger spider

[guitaristman23]

im curious i have an 8 string and you seem to shred with ease what gauges do you use if you don't mind me asking?

[SamBellGuitar]

@guitaristman23 I use an 80 on the F#, a 72 on the B, and a set of regular 10s on the rest.

[Riverdragon90]

@SamBellGuitar its the heavyness of the gauge that does the trick in making legatos clean

[SamBellGuitar]

@Riverdragon90 Precisely!

[MudkipForceG]

@SamBellGuitar so i'm getting into all this legato stuff myself, like Derek Taylor and Michael Romeo tapping and all, but i'm having trouble getting rid of extra noise (when i change strings) and i'm pretty fuckin tired of sittin in my room for hours a day trying to get rid of it.

would you suggest moving from gauge 9 to 10 strings in that case? lololol

[BlackNemo1]

The birds fits perfect to your shredding :)

[oilkills]

That's awesome!!! And it makes me wish I could see our hero

Shawn Lane pick up an 8 string. Peace!

[Riffa22]

sick stuff man :) loving that 8-string and the birds lol :D

[McMinnManiac]

Wow you go outside too . Cool. your one step away from a sun tan!

[Soulfulshreddify]

Schecter hellraiser c8?

[SamBellGuitar]

@Soulfulshreddify Nah man, damien elite, does the trick! :)

[Razzy123]

@SamBellGuitar I just ordered this exact guitar. I'm thinking about putting gold hardware on mine, what do you think?

[MrIKTPQ4life]

@SamBellGuitar Dude, if you can play like that, you deserve an RG2228... custom.

[SamBellGuitar]

@MrIKTPQ4life thanks man :) i would love to get an RG2228, so expensive tho, one day!

[MrIKTPQ4life]

@SamBellGuitar If Ibanez sees this, I'm sure they'll send you one!

[MrSwac31]

@SamBellGuitar buy at least an Blackjack or hellraiser!!!

[SamBellGuitar]

@MrSwac31 They are very nice indeed, but the damien did the job well!

[Tori965]

How do you come up with such long and great licks?

[TerrorcausT]

I wish i was sam's neighbour i could listen to him play all day :P
