I thought it would be fun to celebrate the release of the new High on Fire album, Cometh the Storm, with a lesson for the first single, Burning Down.
Awesome classic Pike technique throughout, with loads of diminished scale riffing.

Hi. Can you make lesson of Time To Die by Electric Wizard?

[@erictallant4965]

Pike has been playing the same variant of chords for the last 30 years, at varying tempos, and it never gets old!

[@DoesItDoom]

Right? So true. It’s pretty fucken crazy.

[@mikkeldan4921]

Master of the craft

[@JohnWilliams-pn7ft]

​@DoesItDoom it's the subtle blues nuances he throws in that some time goes under the radar unless you play guitar but if you know, you know... him and Jimmy Bower are criminally under rated.

[@jonahc2807]

Hardest hitting riff of the year! Such an ear worm.

[@DoesItDoom]

💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@hogie1259]

Right!! I’ve started every morning drive to work with this since it was released. It definitely gets you motivated to work… … or punch someone in the throat . 😂

[@SunofShasta]

Such a beautiful guitar

[@DoesItDoom]

Glad you dig it! The Pike sigs are beautiful indeed.

[@aaronbickford8725]

Yeah incredible…I am now regretting not just coughing up the dough and buying one…have a feeling that opportunity won’t present itself again…😢

[@DoesItDoom]

@@aaronbickford8725 shoot me an email at [e-mail]. We might be able to get you in on the preorder as we ordered a few extras.

[@PineconeTheory]

I recently learned the intro to Ironman, your videos have introduced me to so many awesome riffs. Love your cover of Stone the Crow by Down. You've got me wanting to learn Drop D riffs and buy something other than a single coil Fender guitar, an ebony SG is growing on me more and more. You, Jason from Fuzzlord and Eric Merrow are 3 of my favorite channels, love your guy's laid back style. Thanks Steve.

[@DoesItDoom]

Get that Ebony SG!

[@PineconeTheory]

@@DoesItDoom Just bought the SG, different finish though, burgundy sparkle. I felt like the Guitar Center used deal was too good to pass up, under $300 shipped, with a case! Now I wait for shipping. Would love to see an SG setup video, if you haven't done so already. I believe my model has coil splitting as well. Thanks Steve, keep on rockin' 🤘

[@badbeardbill9956]

Oh a single coil is plenty, just gotta dial in. Put some boost on and maybe roll off tone a tad

[@wheresallthezombies]

Damn dude, I love those woodrite guitars and that pedal. And high on fire of course. So sick.

[@DoesItDoom]

Thanks dude!

[@troygolden8997]

Album of the year, calling it now. Great lesson 🤘

[@_nathan_k_]

Hell yeah I love high on fire I saw them live and I was completely blown away I would love to see more lessons by them from you 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🔥🔥🔥

[@DoesItDoom]

Let me know what else you’d like to see!

[@Drust49]

Every day I listen to this new album at work when you do repetitive work it helps you get angry. can't wait to see High on Fire again at home in France, I'm going to see them on two different dates, it's going to be great

[@DoesItDoom]

Enjoy!

[@schillinger7814]

Amazing sound and lesson!! Album is on heavy rotation for me and will be for a while. They never disapoint. Cheers!!

[@DoesItDoom]

Agreed! Thanks for watching.

Love the breakdown and the tone is so good on this one too 😮

[@DoesItDoom]

Thanks, brother. Hope you’re doing well.

Might have to!

I had a dream that you released this video last week and I was so disappointed when it wasnt uploaded XD

[@DoesItDoom]

Dreams do come true.

[@mikerauter1859]

Crushing video Steve and highlights just how awesome Pike as a riffking is

[@DoesItDoom]

Thanks, Mike, and no doubt!

[@renevanderkraats224]

Got this track on heavy, heavy rotation on my player at the moment. Timeless piece. I'm not a guitar player, but that thing is gorgeous! It's gloss is like deep, wet paint, gives me the urge to lick it :-)

[@eddieespx]

I legit got an ear infection from listening to Darker Fleece on repeat. Haven’t been able to hear from my right ear for two months😂 Totally worth it

[@LyntonDavies]

Been waiting for this,love the sliding power chords he uses, I'm lucky enough to have the warlord on pre order so this will be the first song I'll be playing on it,cheers Steve🤟

Great album, killer track! Thanks for getting this lesson out there Steve.

[@DoesItDoom]

Absolutely! Thanks for watching, man.

[@jasonlafountain8492]

been on the waiting list for the next one....quit teasing us if we can't get another Matt Pike Signature Series. Please Gandalf I beg of you, before I have to throw the ring into Mt. Doom let's ship out some more Matt Pike guitars.

[@DoesItDoom]

Shoot me an email at [e-mail] We ordered a few extras of each finish with the preorder.

The best.

[@disciplesoftheapocalypse]

5:45 This is my only complaint about the new album is that some of the recording sound a little too muddy. Still a fucking banger of an album.

[@DoesItDoom]

That part was tough to sort out for sure. Killer album!

[@markr.devereux3385]

Wondering if you get death threats from your neighbors. This riff structure is like hell itself.

[@DoesItDoom]

Isn’t it though? Crazy.

[@AaronEvces]

Man! MATAMP GT1!!! I am saving up right now for a gt1! Would be super bitchin if you did a demo on the amp,I saw a great little demo from the guitarist in the band Frayle, but after the gt120 and sunn stuff you’ve done, a gt1 demo would be rad. Anyway. Thanks for another sweet video man.

[@DoesItDoom]

My GT120 is in the shop now for a new pilot light, but I will do a comparison video or live demo when I get it back for sure. The GT1 is an all around killer amp.

[@AaronEvces]

@@DoesItDoom yea the gt1 seems like 120 vibes with the non master setting. I’m hoping to be able to order one this summer!

[@DoesItDoom]

@@AaronEvces yeah, it's not quite the same as the GT120, but it does lean in that direction when you put it in NMV mode.

Not to many tabs tabs for them so anything would be sick!! Halcyon put me onto them

[@crock2434]

That's a sharp guitar Steve...

[@DoesItDoom]

Thanks, dude! The Pike sigs are glorious.

[@Bl4cksky76]

What settings are you using on the Baghdad??

[@DoesItDoom]

I can’t remember off hand, but it was set exactly as it is when I hold it up in the video. I was also bumping the midrange a bit with the parametric EQ in the power amp.

[@akrmfk]

Awesome 🤘. How u liking the firespitters compared to the lollar dbs(in the nicotine sg)? Thanks steve!

[@DoesItDoom]

Without comparing them back-to-back in the exact same guitar, I seem to prefer the Firespitters overall. Perhaps slightly less compressed and not quite as dark.

[@philipmarcus97]

Hi Steve. Do you think you could do a video on the guitar tones from The Obsessed new album, Gilded Sorrow? In particular, the song "Wellspring". Thanks!

[@carwynvan]

Tried teaching myself some of this the other day and i don't think i was too far off! And really annoyed at Amazon because i had this CD on pre-order with them and still nothing from them and they have no idea when they'll be able to deliver...

Glad the lesson was helpful. That fucken sucks about the CD!

[@alexpriller3725]

Hi, I'm still a beginner, but I would like to discover the world of doom. When I tune my Les Paul down, the frets buzz and scratch a lot. What can I do? Its normally tuned in E Standard. When i want to play electric wizard for example that would be too much

[@DoesItDoom]

You need to have your guitar setup with heavier strings. I typically recommend something in the range of 12-56 for C-Standard or 13-62 for B-Standard. Take your guitar to a reputable tech and have it setup properly as the nut slots will need to be filed and the guitar will need action, intonation, and neck relief adjusted. Also checkout my tuning guide at doesitdoom.com/tuningguide

[@throbler5324]

I fucking need a baghdad pedal more than i need air

Is that plain enclosed pedal I've seen Matt using on tour a Baghdad?

[@DoesItDoom]

No, that’s a new signature pedal we’ve been working on with Matt, he does have a Baghdad on his board though.

[@lucwilson1]

Why run into the Carvin power amp if you had a Soldano power amp?

[@DoesItDoom]

That’s a Soldano SP-77, which is essentially an SLO preamp, not a power amp.

Ah!! Oops!!! Thanks for clarifying!
