10 Great Slayer Riffs + TAB

[@thearchitect817]

Brings me back to a time where this genre was emerging to crush the metal heads already out. A hybrid euro punk melted into American heavy metal. It’s strange to say it’s nostalgic. Learned these riffs over a couple decades and was at awe with Slayer since Haunting the Chapel came out. Worked several of their gigs when they were in town. (Shout out to the Newport music hall, Columbus , OSU campus). When learning these riffs without proper sheet music and simple tab is involved, you’ll miss out on the true sound that Kerry and Jeff brought. Dead Skin mask is an perfect example as the tab has the gallops at five instead of seven. If you play using tab you’ll know exactly what riff and where. Man the 80’s were the most embarrassing decade of American culture but Slayer brought redemption and a middle finger to mainstream, kicking the shit out of Duran Duran on one end and Metallica on the other. Funny thing is Slayer originally wouldn’t tour with Metallica because Slayer were headliners from conception. Metallica were as well but it was a great divide amongst fans. Either went with more acceptable metal or you went with the faster, meaner and heavier metal. The black album drew that rift wider sending hardcore Metallica fans packing for good feeling betrayed but they were immediately replaced by bandwagons of new fans. Slayer simply refused to change. I’ve met both bands and that are both fantastic if not in stark contrasts. I learned many of Metallica’s songs and Slayers and my personal favorite is Slayer. The riffs, the baselines and the baddest drummer there is, which is bias considering I became friends with Dave long after. No drum machine is going to mimic his work. Great video and a bring back to the Dawn of speed metal.

Thanks!

Super Job ! Faut laisser reposer la main droite maintenant lol !

[@Thrasher_d]

Crypts of eternity is very underrated, super happy you Included it in your list

[@demonicon1]

One of their best for sure!!

[@supernothing77]

so fun to watch and listen to! would make a great right hand warmup. Slayer had some funkiness to them sorta like Megadeth sometimes. I still don't know how Jeff came up with the Angel of Death breakdown riff... just bonkers.. then Dave comes in with that half time feel -one of the greatest riffs ever

[@supernothing77]

Wait. No Angel of Death? lol Seasons is a good riff too

[@indianriffmaster]

Sir you are making our life easy by uploading these riff lessons,Thank You 🇮🇳

C'est qu'après la lancinante, suave et sensuelle bossa nova, il fallait un peu nous réveiller ! Là c'est réussi, ça envoie du lourd !

[@GuillaumeVrac]

Merci ! La semaine on se retrouve au coin du feu 🔥, y en aura besoin

[@michaelmetal71]

would love to see you do a 10 greatest Queensrÿche riffs, as well as 10 greatest riffs from Ratt, Dokken and Judas Priest greetings from Texas

[@GuillaumeVrac]

Thanks for the suggestions 🙏

[@jlee4360]

Ratt pls!

[@christineblack4654]

naaa forget ratt and dokken. go for scorpions, iron maiden, Van Halen and acdc. 4 classics.

[@vladpeterson6177]

Ratt one is just straight impossible from the fact that they’re utter shit

[@NinjaRunningWild]

@@christineblack4654 Scorpions? AC/DC? Meh...

[@litun770]

YESSS BLOOD RED! I was literally waiting for it hahaha

Good you like it. Cheers

[@mywaveinwoodswoodperfumes]

boy thoses gibsons and those riffs waw, amazing work mate,

[@huahuar]

Awesome thank you!! Hanneman forever!!

[@techdeath3609]

Hanneman et King ont composé quand même des pépites en terme de riffs de la mort qui tue 😬. De très bon choix, Chemical Warfare est sans doute ma chanson préférée de Slayer, et le riff de Live Undead est une pure tuerie, merci de l'avoir mis en lumière 🤘😜🤘

[@marie-pierredavid3317]

😅 Bravo ! …. Bien que ce ne soit pas le style que j’affectionne, j’apprécie ton jeu et ta flexibilité à jouer tant de styles différents avec autant de justesse (pas seulement les notes ;)) de précision et de sincérité. 😍🎸👍🏾

[@GuillaumeVrac]

Merci beaucoup Marie ! En tout cas ça peut aider à s’entraîner au mediator 😅🎸

Nice video man, i would love to see a 10 great Testament riffs. Greetings from Brazil

[@brettschacht4183]

That was killer. An exploration of Queensryche's 'Operation : Mindcrime ' would be much-appreciated!

[@pincor221]

Ça thrash !

Nice. Thanks for sharing this...

Great song choices, I expected to see Metal storm / Face the Slayer up there too

[@GuillaumeVrac]

Thank you! To be true the full Show No Mercy album would be my Slayer’s Greatest Hits 🌟 !

[@paulhughes505]

Mine too Brother.

[@ВолодимирСадовий-ф7т]

Bravo !

[@christineblack4654]

cool now this is the way to make lessons. play and have the tabs that move along. We can slow it down if we want. thanks I hope you have more like this of many other bands from the 80's :) I would kill for van halen like this. then scorpions and acdc and Iron maiden. that's it. hahaha not enough youtubers do it like this grrrrrrrrrrr wish there were more smart ones.

[@GuillaumeVrac]

Thank you Christine! I’ve read all your comments. Your support is really appreciated here! I wish you all the best, take care

[@marcelopereira2401]

Congrats for your amazing work. I'd like to make a suggestion for 10 Riffs + Tabs. Maybe Kreator, Destruction, Cryptic Slaughter Riffs, what do you think?

[@Sophia-wn3ve]

❤🤘🎸

[@craamjilolye7681]

Elles sont très chouettes tes vidéos ! Si je peux me permettre, ce serait cool de laisser un peu de place à la fin pour qu'on puisse voir le dernier riff en entier sans se faire couper par les propositions YT. Merci bien en tout cas !

[@doinok1149]

Awesome playing mate Love to get someplace close man🤘 Man the sound is mint 👍 Thinking about first tube amp Giving up motorbikes for now to busted up so any chance you might be able to recommend a head and cab?? So expensive but all cool shit is? Cheers man take it easy🇦🇺

[@GuillaumeVrac]

Thank you for your comment and compliment. A Marshall head and cabinet with G12 T 75 or G12 65 speakers i would recommend. For Slayer, probably a JMP or a JCM800 will do it well.

Thank you! I did everything standard tuning. So it’s not always the same tuning as the originals

so if you can chug on the low E string you’ve already learned more than half of all Slayer riffs lol just kidding this is a iconic band nonetheless 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🎸🎸🎸🎸🎶

[@SuperGuitarDude7]

Cool stuff! You should do some Venom riffs. They influenced a lot of these bands.

Tune ?

[@АнзорСалпагаров-у3ч]

Slayer самая злая группа в этой вселенной, сейчас зародилось огромное количество жанров, которые даже намного тяжелее. Но только музыка slayer может открыть врата в преисподню, и тогда затрепещут слабые мира сего!!! Обожаю 2 первых альбома, это что-то непостижимое!!!!😮

[@neusaap5708]

what does a circle around notes mean?

[@GuillaumeVrac]

It's for half or whole notes

black magic has palm mute

[@killtax33]

great we know that hes playing on a les paul so its not gonna have the amount output a jackson or bc rich would have to put out the right tone for the riff probably

[@NinjaRunningWild]

@@killtax33 Uh yeah it will. Very comparable pickups to a Seymour Duncan TB-4. Most Jacksons didn't come with hotter pickups. My KV1 has a TB-5 but that's a rare exception.
