3 jealous douchebags who are good at typing on a keyboard but really bad at playing guitar!

[IzzyInvasion]

Great melody and sound!

[shadowoftheshire]

btw counterpoint is the name for two or more melodic lines that move independently of eachother, often times moving in opposite directions on a scale (ascend/descend), yet they harmonize with eachother.Ex:In Cmaj, if we had one ascending melody going"c,d,e,g" and another line doing "g,f,e,d" while descending, simultaneously, we would have a simple counterpoint harmony. Hear what they sound like together and it will make sense. Listen to Baroque music, esp. js Bach, he is a master of counterpoint

[shadowoftheshire]

pitch axis theory is just satriani lingo. It just means one note from the chord your on is in the next chord. Its really just a way to find a chord to come next that isn't expected, changes key, etc but still "fits" in some sense, harmonically, because one color from the previous chord is also in the next chord. Its a good way to get some sweet sounds but i can't really call it a valid theoretical approach

[Sivels]

@shadowoftheshire there's no such thing as valid in music theory.. Any established rule of thumb in music can be broken at will.

3:46 on-screen tablature courtesy of the makers of pong...

[irvan36mm]

It's actually a Mason Bernard...made by Bernie Rico after he sold the rights to BC Rich (big mistake!!)

[irmasil3]

Great guitarist AND fantastic pianist.......one of the best talents out there!

[TerryTresner]

Wish there was tabs,it'll take me forever to figure that out as is.It's killer though,dude burns through that.

[reyeror]

What model of BC Rich is that???

[IIHamishII]

@reyeror That's an Ibanez USACustom

[reyeror]

@IIHamishII No, it's a BC Rich.

[IIHamishII]

@reyeror Sorry about that - the graphic reminded me of one I saw not long ago, but you're right.

[lighwave]

It's not a speed lick, it's a phrashing lick.

[DARRINCONNOR1]

I often wonder if lars and Het think about replacing kirk his playing is so repiticious and there are 1000s of better players out there,and i do think the mighty met need a change in there sound?Im not saying tony would be the perfect match.But he can shred with the best of them..........................­........a terrible thing to say BUT it should've been kirk on that bus in sweeden?????AND NOT CLIFF. R.I.P. RANDY,DIME,LAYNE,STEVIE RAY

[davejohnsonmusic]

@DARRINCONNOR1 Wow that was harsh man... but I think I might have to agree with ya! If Cliff was in that band they never would've turned pop... or atlas I like to think so

[MrYungsan]

him and jessie eisenberg kinda sound alike

[cayocayo73]

[dagoelius]

AngeliteriuM1 cheers for posting this, my VHS of this no longer plays.:( wish there was a remaster and rerelease.

[Jslegacy01]

This intro really shows he spent some time studying counterpoint.

[joesatriani1200rulez]

@Jslegacy01 ive never understood counterpoint, it seems to me its just like pitch axis theory

[nemogre]

@Jslegacy01 whats counterpoint?

[imixify1]

@Jslegacy01 How is there two melodies playing at the same time in this??

[shadowknight132]

Thanks man!
