Chordplay - The Chords Of Danzig

[@LateNightLessons]

Hey gang! Leave it to me to screw something up, During 'KIller Wolf' I said that chord change during the bluesy verse section was G5-G6, but that was incorrect. It's G5-Gadd9 (the Bb is moving to A on the G string). I'm not sure what I was thinking there. I played it right but said it wrong. My mouth gets me in a lot of trouble. Sorry 'bout the mouth typo! : ) ROCK ON!

[@oneshotjam4902]

Im sure the majority of people the g6 (E)/add 9(A) flew over their heads its one thing doing bad tab / sheet and another playing the right chord but calling the wrong chord

[@voronOsphere]

No problem, David! Thanks for the heads up!

[@troymurphy6531]

first 4 danzig albums were excellent

[@matthewforster6073]

I agree

[@voronOsphere]

"Twist of Cain." I love that song!!! "Not of this World" and "Dirty Black Summer" are awesome, too!

[@spacechimp3689]

Finally, some John Christ!! Outstanding!

[@ordinaryavgguy]

Thank you for this lesson. It's crazy how few guitar lessons there are covering the John Christ era of Danzig. He's a great guitarist, and his riffs and solos with Glenn's vocals are up there as one of the greatest combos of all time.

[@cwatson4271]

I love your channel! You should do a Prong guitar episode!

[@CC-qb9sm]

I feel compelled to leave an additional comment! I think you need a volume two of this that still focuses on those first two albums. 🙏🙏🙏 So many great songs, “She Rides” as just one example is so badass. 🎃 I have a John Christ pick from back in the day, great freaking show. Subscribed!

[@breal1183]

IT'S ALMOST SPOOKY SEASON AGAIN!!

[@awguitarroom8033]

Am I Demon was one of the first songs I ever learned on guitar way back in the day. Such a fun song to play

[@brandonjackson5865]

Every John Christ riff I learn is fun to play and something I’d never think of on my own yet it’s obvious and undeniable it’s simplicity will have you face palming why didn’t I come up with that riff. I think the first Danzig line up were great at checking anyone over playing and it gives the songs room to really breathe and groove, sometimes it’s the parts you don’t play.

[@awguitarroom8033]

@brandonjackson5865 I always say it takes a special kind of talent to write "simple but effective" riffs. We as guitarists tend to always over think and over complicate things

[@brandonjackson5865]

@@awguitarroom8033 yeah I can remember thinking this thing I came up with can’t be cool because it’s too easy to play lol or I thought drop D was cheating even though Eddie Van Halen used dropped D al be it completely different than people used it in the mid 90s , but yeah definitely it’s about the songs and sometimes less is more I think it takes a confidant and mature player to not automatically think I need to add more or do something that’ll impress my guitar playing friends.

[@badtonestudio]

John Christ is GOD 🤘 The tone and feel on the records with JC are great, I remember hearing the first Danzig album as a kid and being mesmerized. How the Gods Kill album is great as well. Lots of cool guitar on that one too.

[@MarkPillows]

John Christ has his own channel with lessons on some of his danzig era songs

[@brandonjackson5865]

How did I forget about How the Gods Kill , I mentioned in another comment Her Black Wings is my favorite song but How the Gods Kill could be my favorite Danzig song any other day of the week.

[@rickcrotts6673]

I love that you opened with John Christ's coolest riff

[@RZALeu]

He didnt even write that riff. But he does play it well for sure

[@dangolguitartech]

I’ve not even watched it yet, but already give it a thumbs up and would give it more if I could. Highly underrated player who was pretty much outside of the box at the time. Thanks very much, Dave!

[@robertoortiz3501]

Twist of Cain! Danzig,man,this was awesome and unexpected...love this channel...

[@silverjaw138]

Perfect!! Was looking for some deep dives on Danzigs guitar work. You’re the best man! Ty!

[@vincent7626]

This is Great! thanks for all your hard work.

[@CC-qb9sm]

Instant thumbs up, thanks for doing this 👍👍👍

[@MLBa636]

Fantastic episode! Danzig has some of the coolest logos, too.

[@natemendsen1629]

Ah man, the pic of John on the bottom left, the golded out string ad smh, hits me in the nostalgia feels.I haven't seen that in a long time, since I was young in the 90s and it was one of hundreds of pics I cut out of Guitar Player on my wall

[@gidan6228]

Awesome video, thank you so much! Keep the videos coming. Very easy to understand.

[@madubatuwangala1646]

This was really wonderful to watch. I discovered the music of Danzig in 1992. The playing of John Christ is Stellar. Thank you. Definitely would like to see a Part Two.

[@voronOsphere]

"In My Grip" by early Samhain has great chords! Glenn Danzig was friends with "Famous Monsters of Filmland" editor Forry Ackerman. And the Misfits used the "Famous Monsters" font, for their logo, with Forry's blessing!

[@vincevandergraff1508]

those chords you are referring to are minor 6ths. i show them in the covers on my channel

[@DoktorPill]

​@@vincevandergraff1508checked it out on your channel. Great stuff! Could also start with F minor 7 to E minor 7 to E flat minor 7, would at least make it easier for the left hand

[@silverjaw138]

Todd Youth absolutely CRUSHED it on I Luciferi. RIP Todd

[@traviszboril6638]

Awesome lession man I have been playing these song on guitar for years but I haven't played them in a good while now Ivbeen playing acoustic for sometime now. I really like the way you breadown the riffs 👍👍

[@guitarbytes]

Never heard of them here in the uk. Great riffs. I'll definately check them out.

[@MikeMoranX13]

This is awesome. Do some stuff from DANZIG 3 and Thrall Demon Sweat LIVE!! Still good John Christ stuff.

[@slashtrio]

That was great! Always been a big misfits fan since my days as an adolescent skater in the 80s. Love those first two danzig albums and “How the Gods Kill” is great too. I’ll be learning possession just in time for Halloween 🎃

[@MarkEdward-bl6cr]

Danzig excellent choice for Metal Month 🔥😮🤘

[@svenroever1738]

Awesome. „Doom blues“ - well said!

[@nrjhamilton]

Clicked Like even before watching

[@brandonjackson5865]

Yeah! Twist of Cain . Really dig John’s approach to guitar with Danzig it’s perfect for the band and no one else really plays like he does. Most of its fairly simple but incredibly clever when you learn it the dude must not think like your average guitar player. I think Her Black Wings is my favorite Danzig song. I slept on Danzig for a long time. I always loved the Misfits of course but Mother got burnt out for me, it’s a great tune no doubt but it was everywhere. I remember really liking the Can’t Speak video and song for some reason but I really just started getting into especially the first two albums when I created a Misfits station on Pandora and slowly it became a Danzig station because I was thumbs up more Danzig songs than anything else. I discovered another band I would have never listen to in a million years and they kinda fit the season too and that’s The 69 Eyes I found them though my Type O Negative Pandora station and they are kinda glam goth I don’t really know but songs like The Chair is about something really dark but it’s a beautiful song and Wages of Sin just rocks. I never hear anyone else talk about the 69 Eyes but they definitely belong in a hallway play list along with Danzig.

[@devilkid6462]

Finally..

[@Pyrographx]

Damn! Do you ever sleep? One Late Night after another! Thank you!

[@Skwid-Lives]

Always like Danzig III too along with the 1st one being my fav

[@almoreno8852]

I was learning to play guitar during this time. These 2 albums have some of the baddest guitar riffs ever. When I pickup an acoustic my first riff is from I’m the One. 🤘😎

[@thewickedwizard]

Great time of year for this one. Have you ever done a chordplay on White Zombie or Type O Negative?

[@caseycarey5445]

Awesome!!! Can you do the band iced earth, song Frankenstein? It would be perfect for Halloween too lol

[@vincevandergraff1508]

That opening main riff for "Her Black Wings" was inspired by Black Sabbath's "Zero The Hero"

[@danielleiva9456]

Yesssssssssssssss perfect

[@Jacksonkellyfreak]

I remember that episode of athf. I always loved that stupid robot 😂 which was designed after Wendy O Williams in the video for The Damned. Watch the video for that song and then watch the episode.

[@MarkPillows]

my first youtube channel was over a decade old with no strikes until i posted a video from an original misfits concert and the channel was terminated. I lost over 800 videos many of them set to private which included personal footage, vacations etc... with no backup.

[@voronOsphere]

That's totally horrible! No warning!

[@voronOsphere]

Igorrr LIVE on your channel! I just subbed!!! Igorrr Chordplay from David would be awesome!

[@MarkPillows]

@@voronOsphere they actually sent an email, which I didn’t check and haven’t ever really stayed on top of them. Typically I have thousands of unreadable. It was just unprecedented for me having never had an issue before. Weird thing is the videos in question were automatically removed from my channel and It was still terminated…

[@scotts.3636]

James Hetfield does backing vocals on Possesion and other songs on the album.

[@rocker8692]

Can you do chords of Descendants,awesome guitarist and punk band.

[@jonsvenson7056]

I went to see Trouble who was opening for Danzig in Portland OR. I didn’t know at the time that once Danzig came on the venue filled with skinheads motioning Sig Heil. I got the heck out of there.

[@ericmcclellan419]

This episode was great. A Britny Fox session would be cool.

[@thesilentpickle2]

Snakes of Christ is so good

[@vonmarkowitz6649]

...like Godzilla roaring...yeah!

[@SeabeeBuckeye]

Snakes of Christ is a good one also. Glenn Danzig has killer vocals, but John Christ WAS Danzig, imo. 🤘🖤🎸

[@hansfriesen8971]

Hilarious ! Elvis and Jim Morrison . Back in the day we jokingly referred to Danzig as "Elvis Morrison" .

[@TheCyberMantis]

Please do the chords of LOVEBITES! ( All female Japanese power metal band with a killer twin-guitar team! )

[@knightfall9394]

According to john christ twist of cain was originally in g and at a different tempo

[@varan04276]

You can hear a demo of it on the boxset version of Final Descent

[@slashtrio]

Unholy Mothaaa it’s my lucky day!!

[@corbin8858]

Do you have another channel called cwz guitar?

[@knightfall9394]

Thats an entirely different person

[@MegaWimberly]

YEAUGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH

[@RZALeu]

You skipped soul on fire chorus :/

[@Locknar77]

John Christ era was the best for guitar in Danzig, but Glenn wrote most of those riffs/songs. John was mostly just solos and bits here and there.

[@dangolguitartech]

David… Can you make the blood run up the walls?

[@JohnaldJerk]

Heavy Metal Elvis

[@drloqutis2492]

Do its coming down and some Bad Brains I against I

[@dangolguitartech]

UGH… That guy NEVER wears a shirt!

[@BeeRumblin13]

Can you make the blood run UP the walls ?

[@pipelineaudio]

In B4 all the pedantoweenies screaming about how he pronounced samhain

[@vincevandergraff1508]

Glenn himself pronounced it phonetically (sam-hane)

[@wilhelmrogue1]

ATHF rulz

[@DemnRaig80]

Do a Danny Gatton lesson

[@voronOsphere]

Yes please!
