Matt Sotelo - new solo section from new album

[piratelveninja]

0:00-0:05 was all hammerons and pulloffs...

fuuuuuck

[lectwar]

@DeathControlmk legato just means that the notes blend ie no transition such as picking. He was talking about the technique...which legato is not.

[fender132435]

Any advice on how to get a nice clear warm tone in the higher register, and how to get a kinda crunchy sound in the lower register at the same time?

[lllorez]

If I could just loop this, it would be playing all day at my house. The guitar in the background accents the solo so well, it blows my mind.

[PudWud1]

I was just wandering what type of rig you use for these youtube videos?

[Darkensmith321]

Wow. Matt you rule. Thank you again (10 years later) for recording my demo CD & never stop shredding. You sound like Hannaman but somehow better. Its like stained glass became music.

Awesome!

[MrGn001]

now that is a solo

[ExylumBandPromoDude]

dude your one of my biggest guitar influences. your style is revolutionary to metal. my band was suppose to play with you guys but it turned out the promoter lied to us to get us to play. hopefully someday we can do that shit for real

[skitzoification]

pure expression. love it.

[SpiritCrusher47]

New decrepit birth album, im there!

[Tb0neZ5]

those are some very unique arpeggios. nice job

[NokturnalMortom]

I wish I knew what kind of scales and shit he uses. And how he just makes this shit. Amazing. This is what makes Metal fucking destroy everything else.

[catstudent1]

i think he uses harmonic minor a good bit more of how like chuck used it though just a guess on what I hear

[Inca127z]

@NokturnalMortom dude he uses lots of harmonic minor. it's more that his phrasing is rediculously awesome....it's not that he shred wierd scales like locrean or gypsy scales

[austinmandrell]

@NokturnalMortom i had to login to my youtube just to give ur comment a thumbs up

[InfiniteMisery003]

this guy owns youtube

[LazelDazel]

That's the shit I like to hear out of a guitar, you have an awesome Necrophagist-like style.

[desolateroom]

badass

[cafdo]

what tuning do you use?

string gauges?

high or low action?

thanks!!!

[Stygian9]

Tuning is D (D-G-C-F-A-D), no idea about the gauges but he does lots of bends so not too thick I guess (maybe about .09 or .10 gauge).

[cafdo]

thanks

[cjgone2]

That a spawn of possession shirt you're wearing?

Sick riffs btw.

[mrchucknorris]

man

you've taken your solo game up a notch on this record

i'm beyond stoked for this disc

[TheColorOfDesire]

Matt you have a GREAT sense of melody.

How the HELL do you come up with this stuff???

[bearicho]

God Damn!!! Matt Sotelo is so amazing! My favorite living guitarist!!! Him and Chuck Schuldiner is where I get most of my inspiration from when it comes to playing my guitar!!!!!!

[lllorez]

post more.

[Necrovore666]

Gives me Skolnick vibes - awesome stuff! Looking forward to the new album - and play more shows in NorCal, dammit!

[micheleWT]

YEAH!!!!!

Decrepit Birth, Necrophagist, Origin, Nile....This is Technical Brutal Death!!!!!

[ExposedGuts]

Great! I'm pretty sure the next album will be killer again!

[JT666KILL]

Can't wait Polarity

[lllorez]

this is so bad ass. I just keep listening.

[DemonicSushi8282]

You should give me lessons o.o

[lllorez]

that sounds dope. I like that you've already upped your style since the last album, and that was just last year. good shit.

[ScorpioX19]

Can't wait! Hope the cd is full of awesome solos! As long as they don't overdue it and make like a whole song a solo! lol

[JT666KILL]

Polarity will be awesome!

[sisyphusorianus9787]

Nice! You're branching out into new progressions for this album!

You've tightened up your playing (and in an insanely short period of time at that!) and helped breathe life back into progressive death metal. Mad respect, sir!

[beyondwithin]

sick dude!

[Fretslayer2003]

Shredding as always brotha. New DB will crush all.

[vincentdeathcult]

wow super solo!!! But I hope new album will be more extreme than 2°

[CorpseGrinder18]

i gotta say, i don't like shred very much but when you do it i do =/ so weird haha maybe it's the tone. That was a really cool solo though, love the slower parts

[succubus777]

its like put chuck's style of solos into technical death metal. Waiting for ur next album. Spain loves u bitcha! xD

[VastChoirs]

Make a Shroud of Impurity demonstration please, best Decrepit Birth song ever imo.

[Romencer17]

damn man that is fucking epic.

Matt, I just gotta say me and my brother are trying to start a technical death metal band and being from Mountain View and shit, you have been a great inspiration to me man.

[DaemoniumCC]

Awesome, gotta love that vibrato.

[autopsy87]

fuckin a dude, lookin forward to the next album

[autopsy87]

call my crazy, but the 1st section is all left hand tapping correct?

[shroudofimpurity]

yeah.. I'm just using my right hand to kinda mute the strings. The pick only touches the strings once(A string) in the first section

[autopsy87]

cool, i was checking cuz sometimes when i watch videos of people playing i cant see the picking hand move cuz of my shit connection, thanks man. Im hopin to see you guys next go around

[metalfun111]

@shroudofimpurity You  blew my mind. My brain matter is all over the floor now.

[snatchthatgravy]

very nice.

where did you get the SoP shirt?

[SlavesShallServe6]

Very melodic, i like it.

[Metalwrath4]

Great job Matt! Your material is so badass & inspiring to me & so many Metal guitarists

[AMRMI]

wow awesome stuff man cant wait for more new stuff!
