Dimmu Borgir Galder & Silenoz guitar lessons

[@figydscnvn9rek]

its always the nicest guys who does the scariest music

[@Danny-bo3xm]

With all the respect that other bands deserve , Galder has done an amazing job in Old man´s Child . He´s a master. :)

[@csati]

Old man's child > Dimmu Borgir

[@gordonburchell4337]

Galder is a black metal legend ppl don't realize how bad ass how many solid albums he as written or been a huge part of like Dimmu borgir everything since he joined Dimmu has been pushed by his writing and song structuting he can rip it on acoustic classical pieces shredding solos his riffs and his amazing keyboards on every album also his vocals are killer

[@fredvela6994]

Damn right!!

All nice but sound of In Sorte Diaboli album is terrible. These guitars sound like... a planer :/ Probably active pickups right? Abrahadabra has the same problem. Plastic sound without power.

[@TimoBaader]

[@petertromp8786]

I love how clean and simplistic the whole thing is. No fancy, over the top BS; just serving the song.

[@JohnDoe-hz4wd]

I like how guitarists that know nothing about music theory seem to make the best music.

[@DarksaberForce]

Like Abbath

[@melgibsonfan9082]

Virtuosos will say knowing theory like you know the alphabet will unlock your potential but that's bullshit. I think it just makes you able to play anything but lose a lot of creativity. Guys like Yngwie/Gilbert/etc. are incredible guitarists but hardly have a memorable song to anyone who isn't a complete guitar nerd.

[@MrMusicopath]

that's why dream theater is FUCKING BORING, all of the members are superb in theory and technique but songs are shit

[@Charles_Anthony]

Being bound by the standard always holds back creativity. Abstract thought is best in music as opposed to the strictly educated. Experimentation can yield such amazing things when not held back by the norm

I think this was probably their best written album. from the concept to the lyrics to the actual music and also the band members at the time. I saw em twice when they toured the album and it was great. The guitar parts on this album really compliment one another.

[@rodgill9376]

[@brettbarrett9423]

Wow, the camera at 40:15 can't keep up with Galder's triplet picking. Incredible. They're great teachers; this was an awesome video! Thanks for uploading

[@myidentityisnotimportantor1261]

The Chosen Legacy sounds kinda like it would belong on Enthrone Darkness Triumphant (Dimmu's best album IMO) if there were key boards on the song. As it sounds, I guess it would sound at home on IX Equilibrium.

[@torreyintahoe]

I love how these guys interact with one another. Pros.

[@hgbekker]

Note that they play in D-standard tuning (two steps down) but they refer to the E standard chords. So when they say that they go from G# to F they actually play F# to D#. But you use the finger positions for G# and F if your guitar would be in E-standard. I hiope that makes any sense :-).

[@Gamer6TNein]

D standard is one step down though

[@melgibsonfan9082]

When they said 2 steps down I was thinking C then they said D :\

[@Affeyblaster]

You're right

[@obi-wannabekennotbi2418]

Two (half) steps down is what they had in mind

[@moniqueaguilar451]

They are the best guitar players I love them they're awesome

[@smote_his_ruin]

That outro riff to Serpentine is badass

[@Metalhead_Coaster_Fan]

Galder needs to get people to join OMC so he won't be the only member anymore.

[@99ominous]

Interesting riffs and I love those ringing parts too. I appreciate when bands do videos like this to show the right way how to play the songs so thanks! Inspires me to practice more because it’s fun learning songs you really like 🤘

[@lordberly]

Technically, Galder is better. That's why he plays the lead stuff. Just listen to his old band: Old Man's Child. Guitar-wise, It's more complex than what he did with Dimmu. From this lesson we can see that Dimmu's music is more focusing on the orchestral elements. So, the guitar parts is just mostly for rhythmic purpose.

[@DeathMetalDevin]

Love how their tone together is fucking perfect

[@Guitaristguy]

galder sounds way better, as always. I only wish he'd make a new OMC album sometime in the future.

[@SooperBeez]

[@Charles_Anthony]

You can tell Galder just does his own thing, not big into explanation or technical aspects. I'm willing to bet he just experiments all the time, writing sick riffs. Raw, natural talent. It'd be funny to hear this demonstration/tutorial without Silenoz.

[@Potatismjolner]

I think it's Silenoz who writes more or less all material for Dimmu Borgir. Galder probably puts his own touch on the riffs though.

[@medardoarce9361]

Is that an upsidedown texaco star logo in the back?

[@MoonOvIce]

I think (correct me if I'm wrong), the reason why they think twice when they talk about the specific key they're in, it's because I'm not sure they use ABC for guitars in Norway, they probably use DO RE MI or similar. So they might just be translating in their head before communicating it to the camera.

[@midgardland7821]

let's here an awesome solo......" oh wait you don't have anybody that can do what (Astenu) did.....hails

[@reubenchadwick]

Midgard Land see. that comment is bollocks. Galder is more than capable than playing like astennu.

[@1Second1Day1Step]

No he's not. Not even close, in fact. In order to solo (Astennu) rather than play leads (Galder), one generally has to grasp the concept of scales and be able to identify the notes all over the fretboard. Based just on this "lesson" alone, Galder seems to struggle with knowing what key he is even playing in. Galder is the type of guitarist who writes music that sounds cool to him but he doesn't know why. He has a good ear, but actually has very little musical knowledge. Galder can't hold Astennu's jock.

[@christinacumba787]

Astennu was most definitely a better guitar player than Galder. I still think the Spiritual Black Dimensions lineup was their best lineup (even though I do not think that is their best album, that lineup had the most talent and their apex remains unrealized) after all the years and all their evolution. But that is not to Galder is devoid of talent or even severely lacking in talent. He obviously has a lot of talent. It is not always praising one to slight the other.

[@MoonOvIce]

@TorHawk Sorgens Kammer Del 2 is Shagrath and Silenoz playing, Shagrath is a better guitar player than Silenoz, that's why that re-recording shines riff-wise. Metal Heart was covered in the 90's and I believe Astennu was the second guitarrist but not 100% sure on that. All the others have Galder in them.
