Yes!!!! Merrow vid!!! Don’t leave us Keith!! Even ola Bro-ola wants u to stay!!! Love ur vids man!

[@Arthemesia]

damn you had me worried you werent going to upload anymore ;D Ola is right, we need keith

[@itchy_tasty8448]

Keith I’ve been along time fan. Your videos have literally helped me through some of my darkest times. Not looking for a “feel sorry for me” just wanted to stop by and express me being extremely grateful for what you do. Also being a lefty is very limiting when it comes to quality guitars. I now own 6 KM7’s. These guitars are just fucking fantastic. Recently did a show with Bumblefoot and David Ellefson, saw the guitars I was using and did nothing but complement the axes. From one passionate musician to the next, just wanted to say thank you for all that you do. Stay brutal 🤘 -Dynomite

[@toemasmeems]

Thinkin about sellin my John Petrucci Sterling to help fund for one of these Keith merrows I really want the KM mkiii standard

[@itchy_tasty8448]

@@toemasmeems Although those JP models are amazing, the KM series just.. for me is just right. The neck profile is perfect. Not to mention the tone of those beasts. Just put my main rig away and switched to the Kemper and paired with the KM models. Again for me, the best axe hands down. I would definitely recommend the KM Series.

[@toemasmeems]

@@itchy_tasty8448 lol bro I sold it yesterday hahah I’m purchasing a KM 7 mkiii standard used for 650 which I think is a good deal, right? I mean there’s no doubt in my mind it was the right decision as on principle that I have loved Schecter for over a decade now. A merrow model is just icing and guaranteed desired specs

[@itchy_tasty8448]

@@toemasmeems $650? Damn that’s an awesome deal. His newer models are a lot like the S series from Ibanez (S meaning skinny) body is crazy skinny which I personal love. Plus Keith shaped the neck himself which again for me fits my big ass hands. Either way that’s awesome to hear! Welcome to the Schecter family. When you get a chance check out his newer models there amazing. But don’t let that make you think you got the wrong one. All of his models are fantastic guitars. I’m actually buying another white one of his newer models right now. Keep me posted, love to hear from you when you get it.

[@justinlast2lastharder749]

The Demo Merrow did with Sea Nymph for the Demon 7 string is what secured my purchase. I managed to get a Brand New one from the Factory for $350! Guitar Center, I bought used online but pandemic so the used one I bought for 320 after shipping and taxes couldnt be sent, so they got me a Brand New for $350 the minute it came from Schecter. It even arrived almost a month before they said it would. Very happy with it, but id still buy a Merrow Model as well.

[@WildWildWeasel]

Keith, don't be so hard on yourself, we all love you and you'll definitely grow like you've never imagined it. I've been here since early 2014 when I saw your Seymour Duncan Pillars of Creation demo, and I've been here since! I even got you in my notifications and a couple coworkers also are subscribed to you. Don't ever give up man, we want you here! Greetings from Venezuela!

[@WildWildWeasel]

Grammar is nonexistent when you're high lol Ah you guys get what I mean x.x'

[@midnightmix2692]

I've never seen a q&a show with such a high production quality. This shit's amazing

[@CannibalCrunch]

Good to see the channel back man! Much love

[@gandalfilgrigio97]

please don't leave us Keith, we need this kind of stuff even if it's not every week

[@brianb4877]

these vids are getting even better man!

[@Shannon-ok1du]

Hey Keith, I’m so glad to see you’re back on KZbin man. I wish you much growth and health

[@rydoggsc2]

Thanks for coming back! You made my week!

[@LightWays]

Good to have you back brother!! Sending health and blessings your way man!

[@clementmorin4962]

Thank you VERY MUCH for your come back amigo!! fucking love your channel and your work)

[@matforsbon]

Nice to see Merrow video's recommended again on my Channel.

[@Jeffmetal42]

Damn dudes, that Nasum cover goes hard as hell! Wish I could have caught them live one time. Nasum was a perfect storm of intensity.

[@nachoruiz1538]

so goooood to have all your videos back. theyre very much appreciated, i hope we can see new stuff soon :DDD

[@jv1231]

The channel is finaly back!!!

[@TheMonksDuo]

Glad you’re back Keith, I hope you’re doing well

[@schecterdiamond177]

Ah, so refreshing to hear other adults around my age talk about the greatness that of which is NASUM. Talk about memories man……when I discovered them around 2003 and got in my first REAL band and was practicing guitar NONSTOP. Metal was my life, guitar was my life and NASUM was part of the soundtrack of my life. Makes me weepy. I love it. Awesome video gentlemen.

[@pipedream690]

I've been playing guitar for years but mainly noodled rather than concentrating on getting better. People like Keith inspire me to play more, to practice, to get better; it's such a satisfying experience. I've been made redundant due to the pandemic and playing guitar has kept me going. When I manage to find a job I'm going to start saving for a 7 seven string to learn some riffs from the people that inspire me. Keep up the good work buddy. You're helping many during these tough times.

[@daviddarko2665]

Well said! Keith rocks man, and I couldn't agree more. I've been thinking the very same thing. I've been just a standard rhythm guitar player for a decade +. I never actually took the time to learn the fretboard and practice techniques. Channels like Keith's, Ola Englund, Jared Dines, ect..... have pushed me in another direction. Hell, another dimension! 🤣... But yeah man, learning new techniques instead of the first 30 seconds of EVERY DAMN SONG, has opened up a whole new world of guitar for me. Ben Eller "uncle Ben" has a FANTASTIC channel for learning any aspect of guitar. He's funny as hell too. If you haven't already, check these other guys out. Take care, stay safe, and keep shredd'n! 🤘

[@menaceP875]

I'm so stoked to see this channel back. ❤️

[@an0126]

I just bought on of your sig seven strings and my god i've never had a guitar with that much songs in it, there's something about it that is making me play hours after hours after hours. It's an incredible guitar, i'm so glad that watching your videos led me to buy this thing I have one question: What's the most unique sounding amp that you tried? Btw love your vids man, hope everything's ok on your side!

[@JohnWiku]

He's back!!

[@baritonecult622]

Stopping by to watch again, wish you were still doing these. Wishing you well from Michigan

[@briansau8729]

Reinstalled the KZbin app just to like and comment. Not a super long time viewer or anything, but Keith's a super inspiring dude and I'm glad he hasn't hung up the shoes just yet. Started writing riffs again because of his music. Much loves.

[@lackthereof1783]

Those vocals are amazing. Love to see all the tracking done for a song

[@andrelexx]

Keith your videos are the best videos for metal guitars lovers in the internet. Please stay!

[@marckuebler5150]

I miss you please come back!

[@zero420hour]

Man do I love these fuckin videos man. Watching you work and talk about what you're doing literally makes me want to sit and explore my recording and mixing techniques. I almost always try some variation of whatever plug-ins you use. Thanks for everything Mr. Merrow. Keep that shit up man. 🤘

[@dr_satan_]

K.M. ... " If you're over 40, never trust a fart and never waste a boner .. '' Dude ! I woke up my wife with my loud laugh when I heard this :)

[@t3e_e]

Keith, I barely ever bother to comment on KZbin but between quarantine, you and Ola I’m laying down riffs daily again. I know my piddly views aren’t paying the bills, so I picked up some Sheet Happens tabs to learn some of those tasty riffs of yours. Sea Nymph blew my mind as a youngin. Appreciate what you’re doing for metal fiddlers with this content. Cheers from Canada!

[@12breacher82]

THAT was cool as shit. I love the types of vids you’ve been doing. Best metal material on KZbin.

[@anders2077]

Really cool that you give Nasum some well deserved recognition. Listened a lot to them in the late 90-s/early 00-s and to me and others they were the perfect evolution of the Swedish hardcore, crust and death metal-scenes. Mieszko also produced some killer records. Sorely missed, never forgotten 🤘

[@monsterk7603]

My one old man band's name is now "Ass Cheeks of God". Thank you gents!! Also wanted to thank you both for answering my question about tendinitis a few weeks back. After a few doctors and a bum diagnosis, I think it's been nailed down to psoriatic arthritis. Getting better slowly and more importantly, I am back to playing again. Love you guys mucho and I ALWAYS look forward to the new DTTM. \,,/

[@vethwynwetfeather]

Your production is fucking awesome. I look forward to MOAR videos. Thank you Keith! 🤘🤘

[@rodreyes8436]

I’m new starting into home recording. Seeing your process was cool to find today!

[@SRDTX]

Little did we know this would be the finale of down to the merrow. Very sick series, hope to see this again sometime soon! Take care man!

[@omramoryth]

Seeing the notification that you've released a new video made me so fucking happy. And goddamn, it is a killer video with CRUSHING guitar tones and drums!

[@absolutetuber]

I’m new to your scene but have been learning to play guitar for the last year. I wanted to play guitar so I could thrash!! You’ve been hella inspirational and I’ve been watching tons of your videos. I was set on getting guitar number two and it was gonna be a fender....then I saw this great deal on one of your km6 mkiii guitars, did some research since I had not seen them before (I know, I’m living under a rock), and bought it!!! I’m beyond excited for it to arrive and wanted to thank you for putting out such good material.

[@rubenretina1856]

So fxckxn happy to see you again. Don´t leave to make videos, please!!!

[@TheFatApache]

Your videos have helped me more than anyone on the net. Thank you man.

[@andrewdavis9980]

I’m glad you’re still going. Watching you guys interact is great.

[@lichkrieg4898]

i user the free old cubase bass plugin and for what it is it sounds good enough for practicing and for cover songs.

[@adeptusmechanicus1029]

Man I was worried. Glad to see the channel back.

[@seanadams672]

You better not stop making these fucking videos son!!!!

[@the_swoletariat1621]

Fucking amazing Keith! You’re a huge inspiration for me to start learning a 7, and I’m going to buy your artist edition in black. It has everything I’ve been looking for, the only other option was a E-II. Anyway, I’m leaving this to say, please keep doing these videos! You may not be receiving quite the explosion in subs, but the folks who have been watching will continue to watch and love these vids!

[@mattnagy2565]

More Merrow.... please!

[@LukeWSLC]

I was pretty bummed to read you were considering not doing videos anymore. These have all been really awesome with segments that I actually look forward to watching. I hope you keep it up and don’t get too discouraged but ultimately just do whatever you enjoy doing. Found your stuff back in the jam up bro days prior to your schecter sig and the like and really missed your presence when you slowed down on the KZbin side before. I appreciate you dude! Stay safe from my family to yours.

[@derekperry2142]

I really wish you would consider not quitting this down to the merrow its just the best shit period

[@mkenny17]

glad to see you back man. dont leave us keith! you're my inspiration.

[@mJules3]

Please don't leave, Keith! I just discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago and love it!

[@mikedixon8830]

13 is my lucky number. No notification alert for this video..... thx KZbin. I’ve only been watching this guy since forever.....

[@program2293]

Yesss! You're comeback!

[@mitchelaramenko5250]

End of the Merrow nooooooooo! Please keep making videos Keith! You have the best metal oriented content. Thank you for everything you do!

[@micahlawton6919]

Holly shit! Another down to the merrow episode! Made my fucking day

[@KevOppelt]

This was very insightful. Please don't quit!!!!

[@hergenmetal]

Man, I love your stuff! It's too sad hear that you won't upload more material! We need more! It was a great company during this pandemic time

[@leogeraldo4872]

Worth Watching 🔥 Thanks Keith & León! 🤘🏻

[@francescomonaci364]

really really great video, Keith would you do a how to mix a metal song with just plugins? i think it will be great

[@RobertMimms]

Really really hoping this isn't the last episode of Down the Merrow! Just found this channel after this dropped! I've got so many questions for you man!

[@drmoshie]

Amazing video once again. Please don't leave us Keith. As for questions: I often struggle with rushing when recording, do you have any particular tips. One I have yet to try is setting the click a few bpm lower. I am a huge NASUM fan too, before the tragic loss of Mieszko I used to bombard him with questions about recording tips and he always provided kind and helpful answers. RIP.

[@PhilipWhitehouse]

That was sick, huge Nasum fan and love watching talented producers work, more like this please!

[@whoshotya117]

Ive tried the Will Putney STL plugin and I always seem to go back to the line 6 pod farm.

[@jonnoe3159]

More Merrow!

[@zachblevins6327]

What’s up guys? I hope these keep happening. By far my favorite channel on here. Couple questions. Will you ever do any shows on the east coast after COVID settles down? And can you recommend a 7 string for my first? Not necessarily budget guitar but something that won’t scare me off

[@BAADAPPLE]

Keith man. These videos genuinely make my day every time they come out. Pls don’t stop man.

[@Theopholly]

So glad you’re back with another video! In your first video after you returned you start out by playing some blues. How often have you dabbled with other musical styles and do you feel like that helps you at all with your metal?

[@Cerebrum358]

Revisiting Nasum's Human 2.0 is the best thing happened in 2020 for me. Thanks for that guys. Super sick.

[@tierankarb]

i miss looking forward to these videos :(

[@nm-156]

I love watching this kinda stuff... GREAT vid!!

[@Unexpaix]

These eps make me so happy, thanks dude

[@89gt5.0]

We need more merrow videos!

[@Buffalodan66]

Keep the videos coming man. I'm counting on you.

[@chesno_ggent.7323]

yay videos are back

[@andersonlane54321]

Keith! You’re the man! Hope you are well

[@sega.milkis]

My first NASUM song was SCOOP. And, man, it changed my world

[@FrancoisCantine]

That intro song is insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@fleshbomb29]

Holy fuck, you guys ! That song was not a face melter but a face pulverizer !

[@Bombdawgy]

Thanks for posting another video!

[@toemasmeems]

Anyone notice the Keith merrow riff mashup during dusty skeletons vocals

[@brendan00013]

a surprise cup of Merrow for breakfast today hell yeah

[@nicholasferris972]

Please keep making videos. Even if they're shorter. Love your content. Dont stop

[@collina2127]

Keith, it may not seem like it, but some of us will miss you when you leave the platform! Anyways, good luck with your future endeavors, I love your music.

[@danielchacon.3208]

I think you did a pretty great mix!

[@buddhafex]

opening jam sounded like Misery Index. Love it.

[@eliasniahos7803]

Greetings from Australia again! Met you in Parramatta :) All your vids are sick!! This was a great overview of these products too

[@AppaStappa]

Fuck yes!! so glad your videos are back up!

[@jonnoe3159]

Leave the video looping in the backround guys, lets get the views up!

[@kingpossie]

This is like the Larry Sanders Show for metal heads

[@devvilboyy676767]

Your content is great. Your attention to detail is phenomenal. Your music just makes me feel like I'm some badass villain. Your guitars are *chef kiss*. Your models have the volume knob position just right. Far enough that's not in the way, but close enough if I need to reach for it. I bought the KM7 lefty and felt it so right I had to buy a 6 string so I went and got the KM6 M3 lefty. But, I can also understand why you would feel like you're not hitting high numbers. The only suggestion I have is to try and change up your content a bit(Take it with a grain of salt cause I'm a nobody, but I'm sure others share the same thought ). Most of these episodes are roughly 20 mins talking about gear-related topics. Don't get me wrong. That's what many come here for but, we're not all gear heads. Even I have to admit that after 10 mins I starting considering changing to another video. Don't force it, man. If it doesn't feel right then move on. We'll understand :)

[@joaopaulooliveiracarneiro2993]

We love you, Keith!

[@derekperry2142]

I TOO BOUGHT THIS KILLER SHECTER c7 because you are inspiring

[@crash921]

So sick! This series is so awesome

[@eluneofficial8914]

Great in-depth view, also awesome room, looks so cool 🤘🤘

[@beautague9163]

Love it! And love ez bass! While I've got a lot of learning to do, being able to just add drums and bass and just let them do their thing is amazing when I'm just trying to create music. Great video! Starting a twitch account today to follow you guys

[@Mattheoz]

I never leave comments or questions because I think it'll never get read. I guess I should have been the whole time. Please stick around and making content, even if it isn't as often as before. Your "Sick Riff Worship" segment is awesome. I feel like if I was a KZbinr, i'd be annoyed by people asking my opinion about a band or riff requests and you've taken care of those things. Maybe that could turn into its one video? Cheers from Canada and stay safe!

[@warrenbrett3758]

Your tones and content are always amazing. Definitely a staple to the industry

[@incognitoguitars9999]

Great as always Keith!

[@mogunzable]

love the videos !!!! keep em coming !!! metal community needs you!!!!

[@M4Y0_]

That was really cool. Thanks so much! Mixing videos are very interesting, I'm always looking on how to improve my shoddy mixes. Please keep the channel alive 😢

[@robokopp3827]

Patiently waiting for Keith's next video. Pickup shoot out between your Fishmans and the Nazgul? Nazgul is hands down my favorite pickup of all time. Tech related but how are you managing backups? I recently built a Unraid Nas server that i'm pretty happy with.
