Hi bro. Just wanted to ask, that 2nd riff, is that off a mobile game app? It sounds familiar.

[@ZPcompany]

Hey! Not "Diamond Evil" was Diamond Head!

[@harryevans4994]

the problem with metal riffs is...the ones you most want to play are the hardest ones :(

[@iii3647]

Not always.

[@guitarplayer1495]

songs sound harder than they actually are, now obviously it's still a challenge but dont let the sound of it fool you. chances are it's probably really easy.

[@regular4634]

Not really, unless you are into Megadeth or some prog bands

[@guitarplayer1495]

@@regular4634 thrash also can be a bit challenging. more so the finger stretching, slayer has alot of those

[@regular4634]

@@guitarplayer1495 well in general the 80's metal was difficult to play nowdays most bands are more simplistic whit the exception of prog

[@AidanPrice-m3z]

I love that they put the riffs in a certain order that makes them sound like they're all connected into one song! Amazing work!

[@derkater5489]

Thanks! I especially love that you indicated where exactly in the original song the riff is located

[@maxbeale8186]

Awesome job as always, I think I’ll try to play “Solitude” by Candlemass after watching you. Looking forward to 50 Black Sabbath Riffs 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

I'd prefer Yakuza 4's Solitude😏

[@nothing_face]

Try other riffs from the same album as well, they're really chill to play and sound heavy as hell.

[@mickeylikecrazyy]

Another song with a similar part that’s also really fun to play is Marilyn Manson- Target Audience starting at around 2:35.

[@mazennegm33]

Am I Evil is such a timeless classic. I freaking love it. The Metallica cover is amazing as well!

Ah, Easy Metal Riff... the favorite genre of every guitarist

[@ayoutubechannel1499]

Probably The most underrated KZbin guitarist who is really good at Riffing and making songs .. I've been watching this channel back then and it's still underrated

[@bloody-fire]

I'm still impressed that your SG can easily do everything from Standard to Drop A without changing strings. Just wow

[@danRgFd]

Also, consider two facts: one, he might be just overdubbing the previously recorded (most probably), and two, there are pedals that let you play i.e. in standard tuning and you sound one, two ore more steps down.

[@bumpsy]

digitech's Drop is pretty good at that. I think they even have a Whammy that can do it. It's quite impressive

[@danielgrohl6971]

my teacher has me playing a lot of Jazz right now, and i am very happy to come here and drown myself in metal! :)

[@KakuraZenom]

Was thinking the same, I cant switch from E to D without feeling a massive difference while Im playing. Not only the tension but also the string height ! That is why I have 3 guitar : one in E one in Eb and one in D so I only switch from drop to standard x)

[@GigglebunsUV]

i think he is using a drop pedal, bc it looks like the tuning pegs do not move at all

[@infelicitas]

I just want to let all you beginner and intermediate players and HELL those advanced players out there like me. We'll all get to a point where we feel at least a little satisfied with where we are. I finally learned to sweep pick. Im proud of myself. Keep practicing. start slow. and I promise.. though its a slow and painful journey. its a journey worth taking

[@rev9737]

thanks for the inspiration man. looking back i can see myself barely being able to play seven nation army without power chords to playing the entirety of enter sandman perfectly within 6ish months. hopefully there'll be a day where I can learn the solo for enter sandman.

[@infelicitas]

@@rev9737 No problem man. It takes time. If you are anything like me you'll find yourself watching other guitar videos and you might feel a bit discouraged, but you can turn that discourage into inspiration, and you can practice all day (I did that yesterday, I enjoyed it) 6ish months to play the song perfectly? thats awesome man! I didn't learn my first solo until I was probably 5 years into playing, that was 3ish years ago and now I can sweep pick and alternate pick. Sweeping is a little messy but IM determined to keep practicing. I have faith in yuo man, one day you will be an awesome guitarist. Keep practicing no matter what

[@metalheadindian9174]

Solitude is such a satisfying riff You are a legend!!!

[@remingtonpeterson2888]

[@doomslayer8431]

Thank you! This is the kind of list I’ve been looking for

[@jakubgodlewski9104]

I like that many of these is just what the rhythm guitar is doing during a solo. Easy riffs, yes, but from difficult ass songs, which is exactly why I struggle learning full songs. Still this vid helps!

[@ikinggk]

Nice work, Man! I wish you come a great guitar teacher! Waitin’ for 50 Sabaton riffs!!!🔥🙏🏻🎸

[@dailychatwithadam]

Will you ever release the tabs for your 15 styles of Metal video? love the power metal section !

[@gulch1969]

A little Dokken tossed into the mix... NICE!

[@youtubetrailerpark]

Thank you for the lessons. It gives noobs like me the hope that I might actually be able to play a complete song one day. Sharing is caring, thanks.

[@Jedibob5]

If you're looking for a good first metal song to learn from start to finish, For Whom The Bell Tolls is pretty good for that. It was one of the first songs I was ever able to play start-to-finish. There's one set of walkdowns in Kirk's second lead part that's kind of tricky for a new player, but if you can't get it, you can just play James' rhythm part. The rest of it is pretty straightforward.

[@youtubetrailerpark]

@@Jedibob5 Yes, thank you, I will do that. It's frustrating being able to only just play parts of songs, fun but not a sense of accomplishment. Thank you again.

[@Claudio79]

What's the meaning of chords with circle around?

[@AndreaBoccarusso]

when there's a cricle around the chord and no line above them it means that these are whole notes. while when there's a line above the circle they're half-notes. if you struggle with rhythm subdivisions check out this video where I explain all of this stuff: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKuzgKycqsZ9b5Y

[@justinthorpe6353]

Ghost love score is wrong, not played in drop c it’s in d standard

[@HP_J78]

Cool, thanks a lot!

[@ryanblumenow]

What do the tabs with the circles around them mean?

[@yessir6427]

hold the note

[@pokedude7454]

The intro and main riff for walk by pantera is literally one note and a bend

[@esse234]

Thank you!

[@stanlibuda5786]

Easy. Yes. Very easy when you are doing the riffs. ;-) But the most impressive thing is your sound. It is better as the original ones.

[@anthonytaylor5799]

[@krawithan]

whats the circle around some chords mean? I'm not familiar with that one

"Toxic Garbage Island" considering Gojira are French I wouldn't be surprised if this was a dig at Britain.

[@rolandcraggs348]

Or maybe it's a place in the Pacific where they test their nukes 🤷‍♂️

[@demonguysayshi2666]

Nah, it's about the great Pacific garbage patch. It's even in the lyrics

[@bishop7976]

Thanks for this great video !!! I am also looking for easy clean metal intro (like Sanitarium) ... if you have such a thing ...

[@thetrollpotato6488]

How long does ot take you to do videos? Do you have to change out your strings a bunch because of all the different tunings?

[@Condemned782]

He might do what I do and just pitch the guitar down in post.

[@nickboxer7147]

Great video mister! Practice your off beats everyone!

[@jeffukarosta4500]

Nice video, but Psychosocial wasn't played on drop B?

[@aarxv_s1042]

nope drop a even the devil in i is in drop a scissors is in drop g#

[@Alex_Gid]

When I'm listening to songs/music videos I often think why I barely hear the bass line. I don't know much about this but why can't it be a little "louder"?

[@dogeofgreatness2222]

About 90% of the time the bassline gets mixed up with the guitar riff. I want yout o go hear "I'm Broken" by Pantera. Then go hear the isolated guitar track and the isolated bass track immediately after it. You would realize that 40% of the guitar riff is infact the Bassline in it.

[@dogeofgreatness2222]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5nbqpZ6gNGUnJY This video here explains this well.

[@Alex_Gid]

@@dogeofgreatness2222 thank you a lot!

[@SandstormSouth]

What do the circled chords mean? I've never seen tabs like that.

[@BirdmanDeuce26]

They’re marked like whole notes (half notes if they have a stem)

[@AndreaBoccarusso]

when there's a cricle around the chord and no line above them it means that these are whole notes. while when there's a line above the circle they're half-notes. if you struggle with rhythm subdivisions check out this video where I explain all of this stuff: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKuzgKycqsZ9b5Y

[@freezee5616]

Awesome

[@the_null_man]

why do the first two songs like they're straight out of Doom 2? I swear, I've heard the similar track before Edit: the MAP10 (Refueling Base) sounds extremely similar

[@apereg3]

My first thought as well, but I think the music of Refueling Base was inspired by Black Sabbath's After All (the Dead)

[@dpadap2878]

Nice .-) Thanks!

What String Gauge do you have on your Gibson SG?

​@@AndreaBoccarusso How can you tune your guitar so deep if you got 10-46 Regular Slinkys on your guitar, dude?

[@alistairclifton1286]

More of these please :D

[@JZnative1]

Please please please, besides the obvious, what kind of amplifier and pedals are needed to create those rifs?

[@AndreaBoccarusso]

Unfortunately there's no short answer to this. You can have the best gear in the planet but the recording could sound like shit. In this video I haven't used a real amp. I've opened amplitube 4 and I spent an hour tweaking with heads, cabinets, speakers, mic positioning and mic choice. I've spent years trying to achieve good results with modest means and now my ears are pretty trained to do that with different stuff. So I can't remember the "virtual" chain for this case in particular. The gear I use the most for these sounds is ... experience

I appreciate that you include King Diamond song, but main riff from Give me your soul is not easy, at least not eastiest riff to play, due to this stretch on the frets. Shape of black from the same album would be more suitable.

[@MaelstromTheDemon]

Genuinely curious, when recording rhythm guitars do you record two different parts with two completely different tones, or do you record with the same tone for both parts? Or do you record one part and double it in post?
