[@TheWastelander86]

At MD Deathfest 2012 they kept teasing Funeralopolis with the intro to every song, by riffing without distortion for a few licks. The magnificent bastard.

[@DoesItDoom]

Haha!

[@Louzahsol]

The way jus plays it live sounds so evil and great

[@DoesItDoom]

Different every time. Great piece to jam over.

[@LieLikesMusic]

Such a banger of a song. Thanks for the lesson man!

[@DoesItDoom]

Thanks for watching, Lie!

[@alanjames762]

Cool lesson mate! So many of the Electric Wizard soundalike bands have the drone but forget the blues element...the root of everything Sabbathian!

[@DoesItDoom]

Wizard definitely keeps the blues element strong.

[@neiledwards9996]

I think it's been like the only solo I've figured out by ear alone. I remember jamming this when I was 16 & pretty much nailed in straight away.

[@TheAloneLegend]

Cool lesson, takes me back to the first funeralopolis lesson two years ago which got me into studying guitar. Always nice to learn a new piece of music. Cheers, Steve.

[@DoesItDoom]

That’s awesome!

[@sortevind]

First solo I ever learned...and the only one))

[@DoesItDoom]

Nice.

[@joshww2339]

Sounds lame, but I anxiously waited for this one. When I saw them in Philly he trailed off and jammed on this solo, it's incredible.

[@DoesItDoom]

He always improvises it live. Never plays it the same twice!

[@TheDaeldren]

It’s one of those things that is simple on the surface but a breakdown properly done was much needed. It’s such a amazing little solo that is so integral to the that song.

[@TheWastelander86]

God they're great live.

[@robertlee3416]

Spot on man. I read an interview with Jus somewhere that they recorded the album halfway between B and Bb. Maybe worth trying one day? Great work as always.

[@DoesItDoom]

That’s interesting! I always figured they were tuning to something slightly out of tune.

[@jersu911]

Great lesson, already learned it. Super easy to follow! Thanks

[@DoesItDoom]

Great to hear!

[@EricMerrow]

Killer breakdown of this solo dude! Such a groovy lead!

[@DoesItDoom]

Thanks Eric!

[@king117slayer8]

Bro, great lesson, I've always loved that clean solo in the intro. Keep it up your vids are always great!

[@DoesItDoom]

Thanks man! Glad you liked the lesson.

[@TheGorillafoot]

Good to see you're using the peoples fuzz haha! I bought one after watching your boss comparison to it. It's probably one of my favorites now and I have a few expensive boutique ones. It just sounds great.

[@joshww2339]

The hyper / super / mega fuzz pedal tone that Juss used is still very mind blowing for me. The THE most disgusting tone.

[@DoesItDoom]

For sure!

[@timgriffin3785]

Cool solo! Also after watching some of ur vids I picked up an Epiphone g400 and a superfuzz and it sounds exactly like Electric Wizard 🧙‍♂️

[@DoesItDoom]

Great combo!

[@morokeiboethia6749]

Electric Wizard is one of those bands that makes me wanna pass the car in front of me but i cant because an empty beer bottle rolled up under my gas pedal

[@chriscurran1967]

Been looking forward to this lesson since you first announced it, it didn’t disappoint!!! Thanks Steve!!!🤘🤘🤘

[@DoesItDoom]

Glad you liked it, Chris!

[@maxnorton4893]

Great stuff, Steve! This song is awesome live.

[@DoesItDoom]

Thanks Max!

[@Die_Hand]

Thank you for this! I was using your advice in the previous Funeralopolis vid to work out this solo but there were some parts I couldn't get my head around.

[@DoesItDoom]

Great! That intro riff makes a great backing track to improvise over as well.

[@JPEGBLACK]

Always loved this solo. Keep up the great work man!

[@DoesItDoom]

Fun solo. Thanks for watching!

GOOD SHIT BRO, been looking for a video on this for a minute now👍 i bought the behringer sf300 specifically for this song, took 3 months to come in though 😂

[@DoesItDoom]

Glad you liked it, Christian. The SF300 is worth the wait.

Love that G 400,I dunno if it's the camera or the guitar.But it looks like it has a darker finish contrasting with the Red?Gorgeous!🤘

[@DoesItDoom]

The ‘89-95 G400 models have a really nice look to the cherry. Dark yet vibrant.

[@knobchocolate6491]

Sick my man

[@DoesItDoom]

Thanks man. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@Hellbilly1969]

Incredible tune. So much involved on what you think is simple. As always so much more going on to what you can hear. Thank you for taking the time to pull it apart. That 35rt sounds huge, is there much of a jump in tone from the 20 watt?

[@DoesItDoom]

The tone here is coming from the SF300 more than the amp for sure. I liked both the 20 and the 35RT. For direct recording like this there isn’t much difference, but the 35 is bigger sounding in the room.

[@DoesItDoom]

And I’m glad you enjoyed the lesson. Was a fun one to put together.

[@Hellbilly1969]

@@DoesItDoom thanks for getting back to me dude. Might pull the trigger on the 35rt.

[@mattmcelyea4446]

Great content my man...you are always spot on with your interpretation/cover of these songs,.. seemingly effortless... I was wondering... do you play in a band yourself or have any solo stuff recorded that is available to hear? BTW it would be interesting to hear you and Jason from Fuzzlord putting some songs down together....maybe a possibility in the future?

[@DoesItDoom]

Thanks man! Wish I had more time to play guitar for fun but tbh so much work goes into all of the content that I rarely have time for much else. When I do it’s usually just some drone improv these days. Jason and I have talked about getting together and jamming; I’m sure it will happen someday.

Just got the behringer super fuzz yesterday what gauge strings do you use

[@DoesItDoom]

In B I typically use 12-56, in Bb 13-65. Checkout my tuning guide at doom.doesitdoom.com

[@gitoberg1]

@@DoesItDoom thanks man definitely will cheers for the reply

[@timolaitila1639]

Hey Steve, you have experience over a couple of Gibson and Epiphone guitars. Have you had to file nuts or do something with the bridges when you have gone up with string gauge? I have Gibson and Epi both and would like to try set of 12s but I'm not at all interested at modifying my guitars and would like to avoid it if possible. I like loose feel and normally use 10s for d-standard. I'm thinking C or B standard with the 12s.

[@DoesItDoom]

Yes, typically you need to file the nut once you reach 12’s. I take my guitars to a luthier to have the nut slots filed when needed. I would pick a guitar and dedicate it to downtuning. Have a luthier file out the slots. It’s no big deal and you can replace the nut entirely if you want to go back.

[@timolaitila1639]

Thanks this was helpful!

I love both of those bands, but neither get requested much. Have done Pentagram and Vitus though.

[@pocketdzn.471]

what string guage are you using

[@DoesItDoom]

12-56 Half rounds I think. Grab my tuning guide here for a bunch of info www.doesitdoom.com/tuningguide

i would kill for a crush 120! i have a marshall dsl 100h half stack and a randall 4x12.... just for an experiment , i have 2x12 subs under the stack. its so nasty ! i have to kill alot of bass because it just buries everything lol. i wound up putting a 300w crate head to power them so my volume is even. stil vibrates shit off the wall at ''4'' on the marshall , without the subs lol.

[@ariomvitoria9936]

Hy Steve im about to tune my 24,75" scale guitar to B standard or Bb to play some Monolord and Electric Wizard stuff. So my question is which strings would be a good start? On my 25,5"scale i have 12-60 for C Standard it fits very nice for me. Maybe you got some ideas for me. Thank you for your content. Peace

[@DoesItDoom]

I would start at 13-65 on 24.75" if you like 12-60 on 25.5". Go up from there as needed.

[@ariomvitoria9936]

@@DoesItDoomOkey nice. Thank you. How is it possible to play B standard with a string gauge of 11-56 read about that isnt that to loose?

@@ariomvitoria9936 I have a 24.75 scale guitar I've kept in B standard for a while and just recently set up in Bb with 13-65s and it sounds great and stays in tune. You could get away tuning to B with 11-56 on a longer scale guitar, but on my guitar using that gauge in the past the lowest I could get it to sound good/stay in tune is C# standard
