The Nail

[spacenugget69]

Dude I love bodom. Thanks fir these vids of all their good shit

[dethmetal1396]

A few mistakes? dude that was awesome! At least it is to me cause I can't play guitar to save my life :D

[Tie4821]

I really like your play, and I admire this cover, mainly because you are a pure bodom fan, you know such a unpopular song (doesn't mean I don't know it). Keep playing, good luck!

[Till087]

I don't think it's a good cover... You've the notes but not the level...

Sorry

[randamba77]

ok, but you are a really god guitarrist.

i dont have a good camera for post videos but a i will buy one lol

[randamba77]

good playing man but i have a question...

if u dont like too much the song why you play that

[RedSGShredder]

It's not like I hate it, it is just not really my favorite song by them. Thanks!

[lathandien]

i liked it better when they probably had a shitty studio to record in.

[CROmetal]

You are god/Alexi \m/

[0sirisss]

Fuck Yeah!!! likein those sweeps and evil laughs

[sale67]

1:39 MAGIK =OOO

[raudhre]

I previously suggested you post a video of this song, clearly you did a couple years ago

[zdkezios]

Loved how you used a harmony to get around the 22 fret limitation. And excellent cover, especially on the solo leading up to the sweeps.

[Toedoog]

Lol, I love your laugh before the outro

Bloody brilliant btw =P

[Gianfrancoco]

That's in the song I believe.

[Neplan]

well played... but... NEVER, never.. tune a SG in any way of dropped.. its the worst thing you could do with it! >:O

[Vezyr1337]

that was fucking sick O,o

[qwerty3333]

their old stuff is SO much harder then their later ones...i swear alexi cared more about the difficulty of the song then how it sounded back then haha

[Sadornicus]

and that;s why i think alexi hates in the shadows

[qwerty3333]

most likely haha

[lucasriggi]

their older stuff might be difficult to play because of all the solos it was like alexi's pure instinct but the new riffs are also way more complicated

[rapiddescent2006]

i disagree - infact their older stuff in my opinion is just more complex in song structure but also sound better. Theres an element of black metal but something wild is just so raw. Their new stuff is so over produced and they really arent doing anything new

[lucasriggi]

you know what i agree with what you say i guess we just don't have the same idea of what's "more complex" cuz i don't know exactly how to express what i wanna say lol

[Alphantis]

another fantastic performance, not flawless but id like to see anyone do that song flawlessly, good job man!

[PLASMAchan]

"Sorry if I skrew up!" lol

[CROmetal]

This is my favorite song on Something Wild!

[simba095]

SAME!

[41184140]

Lol, last 2 years I've been lissening Children of Bodom discography non-stop and I see you got whole discography in guitar, it's amazing, you play every of them very well, you improvise a bit also!

By the way you should stop smoking.

[RedSGShredder]

Thanks dude. I don't smoke though!

[sgklaeb]

Hey man, How longer you took to play guitar like this?

[RedSGShredder]

Heh, well I've been playing for about 11 years.

[m3rcuryd3ath]

Hey man...

You have put together some great covers, but the outro of this song needs some work/possibly an update.

You seem to struggle with the sweeps, but judging by how long youve played and how competent you are with almost every other aspect of the songs you cover, im sure you could nail them (lol) if you put some time into it.

MOST important thing about sweeps is taking it slow, while you played these to tempo, they were sloppy, slow em down and clean em up!

otherwise rock on

[ulaskat]

in the info, he said that he had no 24 frets so he had to harmonize the outro sweeps..

if he got a 24frets jackson, certainly he could play excellent..

[m3rcuryd3ath]

having 2 more frets and not having to harmonize them wouldnt clean them up lol..

[kelso241545]

listen from 4:20 to the end

if anyone has listened to Yngwie Malmsteen's

far beyond the sun its the same ending.

still kick ass!

good job!

[TerricottaPieYum]

why'd u do the song if you dont really like it? Was it just because of the technicallity? Im trying to learn as much bodom as possible to get better.

[RedSGShredder]

My goal was to learn every Children Of Bodom song.

[swirlingmiasma]

well, you did it.

seriously most nasty cob song esp the outro.

good work.

[Vallas90]

5/5

[MetallKaos]

1:39 was sick dude

[hanslutherh]

wow dude you shred on that sg i have one to but i never really tried that stuff on it you are good inspiration and you are a truley talented guitarist

[imperfection32]

hey dude where did you find the tabs, i must know!

[RedSGShredder]

I get tabs from ultimate guitar, but I figured most of this one out by ear.

[imperfection32]

do u use guitar pro or power tab or something like that ??

[RedSGShredder]

Yes, mostly GuitarPro.

[imperfection32]

alright cool thx dude

[EdwardTheGreat0666]

2:22-2:52

It's the Pirate Song!

Just kidding,you have talent man,gnarly cover man!

[alienfost]

fuck ya!

[Alphantis]

BEST GUITARIST ON YOUTUBE!!!!!!

[ciaobebbo050]

0.28 was stolen from bach by the way

good job anyway

[MetallKaos]

Everything has been played before.

[fixationdarknes]

Haha "sorry if I screw up." No worries man you definitely played well. Rock on.

[Hoecus]

You are talented ... but will always be a garage-band guy... there is already a COB... form your own group and get out of the house and play !! I know Im not the best musician... but I am touring over 9 countries this year !!

[Costomgura]

i dont think you know this guys background. he was in a band but he dont want to be in one... and if he whould be in a band it whould be in the same class as cob if other tallented musicians joined :P

[metlhed23]

that was a really dumb thing to say. u obviously dont know anything about music that you would say he would be in the same class as cob if he was in a band. just cuz u can play a few challenging songs does not mean u would be good in a band. cob isnt good cuz they can play great covers, theyre good cuz of their songwriting ability! he is good tho

[rockon3691]

touring nine countries wow ...yet still no one knows who u are....and if u act like a dick to people ur band wont last long cause no one will like u...no one likes an asshole so dont be one

[Anze491992]

check out his own page. haha. i don't believe you that you tour in band, maybe far away with band or whatever!!!

[jobformax]

Hey fuck you your not what band are you than you little nigger ass bitch go suck upon your mothers titties adn Fuck a mother fuckin llama bitch

[vedsimoli]

dam ur so good for play cobhc song. ur my idol!

[Duraisuka28]

hate crew. blaah

[sn1p3rr3ng3]

nice, you did good.

"sorry if i screw up" lol

[charlesdryden16]

your amazing dude! i love your cob covers youre tallented!

[SahkanISR]

Nice Good Job !

[lambofgod73936594]

Can you post a video where you dont drink water hark or there drives a firetruck by your house please?

[RedSGShredder]

Sure dude, I actually don't have any firetruck videos, and most of my videos don't have any water either.

[Hateandhatred]

wtf retard???

[shr3dsp33d]

wow youre the only guy on youtube that covered the whole song, congradulations, you own.

[PenisPaladin]

can't say anything... jus awesome ^^

[reaperchild707]

sweeps at 1:16 made my jaw drop

[sickl3ao]

hahahah your awesome man you coughed.... and i love the fact that you go against the status quo by shredding on that sg....

[rutledge123]

nice turbo tax shirt and great cover

[Valdius001]

hahahh 2:03 =P..

[dilagens]

damn right on, and i need u to teach me lessons :D

[VictorTristanEagle]

Holy Shit man your fuckin awesome keep it up

[annaesor318]

I thought red light in my eyes pt 2 was their most technical

[swordmaster2007]

"The Nail is one of the most technical"

not "THE MOST" technical :P

[grandmabanana]

You're one crazy S.O.B. on that geetar man!!

Don't you ever feel like making your own stuff? You should start a solo band where the drummer, bassist, and vocalist are all your bitches...or forget the vocalist and be instrumental, I'd buy it if it's cool!

[RedSGShredder]

Hey man, thanks for the nice words. Well, I used to play in a few bands, and it was a lot of fun, but I just don't have the interest any more. I like play guitar and music, but the whole band thing is just not for me.

[buff001]

Dude... one of my faves. So happy that you got around to doing the older stuff.

[hammedhatten]

oh my fucking god thats fucking sick

[bUMf1GHT]

another great one keep up the good work man!

[zeberio15]

Could you do Iron Maiden songs?

[RedSGShredder]

Maybe, I love Iron Maiden but I don't really like playing their songs.

[ownagemies]

i love the way u play bodom songs! could u possibly make vid from Kalmah - Heroes to us after u done whit all other vids ? :D

[RedSGShredder]

Thanks man. I will look into it.

[0neironaut]

your tone is killer!

[adfhklajag]

nice playing =)

dont you miss those 2 last frets on your guitar, when playing bodom songs? :p

[RedSGShredder]

Actually yes! I wish I had 24 frets, but not at the cost of playing a different guitar!

[mophead02]

shit dude, you're the only guitarist on youtube that i don't hate lol. Good job

[drcob123]

holy fucking hell!

[Ganttura]

Fookin good playing.Can you make Bed of nails cover?Cus bodom covered it good

[RedSGShredder]

Thanks dude. Sorry man, I am only doing their original songs.

[RockingRob]

great work, only constructive criticism I have is just to work a little bit on those sweeps at the end, other than that it was perfect :)

[gjgjkg]

thanks :)

[Unknownbmxr]

very good.

[Ironmanevo]

Awesome job bro

[swordmaster2007]

Only Alexi is better than you.. O.o

and by the way I "REALLY" can't get where you do the mistakes.. I mean this is perfect playing.. O.o

[SicSlipknotMaggot]

I totally reckon you could be the next Alexi.

[Pjumetal]

[RedSGShredder]

[DimebagDarrellFan820]

[HateCrewReaper]

[devdude16]

[metaldany]

[orangepeels03]

*M*

[Thjigsaw]

Thats very good playing, even "The Nail" is very hard to play.

I like your style how you play and how fast!

[misternef]

You are a guitar hero.

[CaNaDiAnFoNzI]

BRA-VO man, sick playing keep it up you kick ass

[Sixpounded]

[tastetheblood6661]

amazing!

[zowbaid89]

hahaha, 'sorry if i screw up' that was funny.

ya that is a pretty weird song, but u rocked it, and real sweet finishing. big fan of yours man

[borizh]

oh yeah, 5/5 btw!

[borizh]

man, it's good to see that your house (and your guitar, most importantly) is intact.

[frontman44]

yeah im not a big fan of that song either theres some ugly riffs in there the only good riffs are the tremelo riffs agreed?

[RedSGShredder]

Yeah dude pretty much.

[MelodicMetalBoy]

What camera do you use?

[RedSGShredder]

It's a Sony DSC-W1.

[SimoDERRRRR]

dude that was CRAZY!!! hahaha keep up the good, awsome, amazing, freaking cool, ROCKING, SHREADING, FINGER BLEEDING work!! haha :P

Simo\m/

[mordred90]

ma nn t secca fare solo cob?

good

[Ville163]

Great job there mate!! You deserve all these ratings, views and most of all the subscribers :)

[metalhead2221]

yo man what would u do if i found ur guitar and I destroyed it lol?

(not that im gonna do that)

[RedSGShredder]

Hah, well I think I'd find you and kick you in the nuts!

[MelodicMetalBoy]

Haha well said, well this guy told me it's completely gay to hit someone in the nuts, but anyway that's a tactic to use. Anyway awsome job, but on your guitar, how can you make those squeaking noises..

[RedSGShredder]

Well man, those are pinch harmonics. Just hit the strings with your thumb and pick at the same time.

[Sixpounded]

Holy f-ing crap. Very well done. I've said it once and I'll say it again. You're probably one of the best guitarists if you're not #1 on YouTube. Keep it up! Quick question: would you be willing to cover Painkiller bu Judas Priest?

[RedSGShredder]

Thanks dude, but there are plenty of other guitarists on YouTube that blow me away! I like that song, but I don't really like playing it.

[Sixpounded]

Hm...anything for Norther? I've heard a large influence on them was Children of Bodom. That, and the singer screams like no tomorrow. :P

[RedSGShredder]

Yeah dude! I am planning on doing Last Breath.

[rutledge123]

hah the lasty 30 seconds is epic and i love the "sorry if i screw up" ha

[pattttttrick]

wow really nice sweep! :O

[KiraiKadaj]

you must have to keep your hands really loose and free across the fret board to do that

[traviscastaneda]

damn dude that looks hard xD

[Corman15]

Wow, as always awsome JOB! you are almost done all the COB songs... wow, what are you gonna do after?

[RedSGShredder]

Thanks dude, I am glad you liked it. I have a few more songs lined up.

[xSxOxAxDXXX]

Oooooh that pinch at 1:27 was orgasmic.

Awesome job.

[rockandrollguy72]

i cum everytimee i hear it

[eddiebodomhatecrew]

nice sweeps man! good job as usual

[dannyjm1]

[betterthantoley]

[Psycopatha]

Kickass as I expected. Well Done!

[zerorazz]

dude no one can play that ending and not fuck up u did a great job

[dahudge9]

awesome as always man

im guessing northern comfort is next?

[RedSGShredder]

Thanks dude. Actually, Taste Of My Scythe is first, then Northern Comfort. Then I'm all done with Children Of Bodom.

[tasteofmyscythe66]

mwuha tasteofmyscythe!xP

and than you have some time to prepare for the next album

and i support you should play the passage to the reaper songs=p

[piranhamaster]

your playin kicks sooo much ass even with the mistakes lol i couldnt tell anyway. great upload!!

[bumbaclot77782]

by the way fucking SICK man you fucking rock keep shredding man

[bumbaclot77782]

is that a duncan pickup?

[RedSGShredder]

Whats up man, it sure it. It's a Screamin' Demon.

[bumbaclot77782]

it sounds awesome man

[EthanSk8s]

man that was sick!!! keep it up bro, i thought you were never going to do the nail, im glad ya did

[SacGen]

nice dude!

[ShredderOfHellview]

You nailed the nail!

[L4keB0d0m]

too bad u won't be playing "follow the reaper" and "move" songs.. btw i dont agree with u that this is not a very good cob song :P actually its one of my best songs :) (maybe the reason is that i can't even dream of playing it because of the solos lol)

[JerryRigs]

Big RED SG!! Always a pleasure to see a bulliten from you. You always play the mean licks man! Gimme some SPEED Bro! I'll trade somethin'! Uh some slow hands man?? Do you practice all FECKIN DAY???

[RedSGShredder]

Thanks dude! Heh, I don't really practice all day, but when I'm preparing to make a video for YouTube, I usually practice the song for a few hours the day before.

[s2thep]

yer as usual fukin rite...keep it up as always and taste of my scythe nextgood job man!

[lluukkeeeekkuull]

Hey, I've been watching all of your videos and I have noticed that you actually rest your guitar on your right leg, I thought you were meant to rest it on your left, did you start playing on your right or something cuz that is weird; but anyway incredible job!!!

[espKuuo]

??? resting the guitar @right leg is the most common way.

[Hoffmetal]

...wtf?

[blubberlips]

What? No man. The only time MOST people rest on there left is when they're playing a classical guitar. Or, if it's just comfortable for them to play with it in between, or if they have a V-shape like Alexi so you have to go between your legs when you sit. But, MOST people DO rest it on their right leg.

[RedSGShredder]

Thanks for checking out my stuff man, I'm glad you liked it. Yeah, I rest the guitar on my right leg. But yes, I have noticed a lot of players using their left leg instead, as if they are playing a classical guitar. But for me, the left left is extremely awkward and uncomfortable. I say just do whatever is more comfortable for you.

[LeftosDoussis]

my children are gonna listen to this guy =P

[AngelKiller197]

FUCKING HELL !!! °_° i hope one day i could play like that !!

[tiagotheguitarist]

good work, u are amazing!!!

keep the eyes on the guitar but the song on ur soul.

[xTozzzYx]

Like always, jesus christ i love it ^_^

good work man :P quick question, how did you start off learning sweeping? it's the major thing bugging me about my playing at the moment.
