Exodus and Slayers Gary Holt - Guitar Clinic

[@doomguy1430]

Gary Holt is definitely a legend.His riffs are killer! Thanks for the upload!

[@NStuffMusic]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@kenedie4646]

Gary and Exodus are incredible! One of my favorite bands, who never sold out, or compromised Fukk-all. Love them!

[@MistermookS]

“Never live on regret” that’s one of the best thing i’ve heard in a while. respect to Gary! Bay area represent!!! lol

[@Killerklownsfromouterspace]

One of the most down to earth humble human beings ever. Gary is a class act who just tells it like it is. This was all about his fans. Not many musicians do that anymore. Can’t wait for the new Exodus!!!

[@MistermookS]

I come back to this video just to hear and learn Gary’s licks. definitely one of my heroes in thrash metal. Thanks for posting.

[@patrickshannon5856]

This guy is one of the few kings of thrash. He takes metal to a hole new level

[@jms980]

Um. How many kings can there be?

[@tingachhakchhuak6083]

I don't play Guitar but i love watching him play and talk. Down to Earth af

[@gregg4164]

I'm not surprised about Gary's opinion on Prince at all. I always believed he was an incredible musician and showman. The guy could play the guitar like no ones business and could play just about any other instrument too. Gary is pretty damned correct on that subject.

[@torreyintahoe]

The most talented musician you don't want to listen to.

And that in less than a year after that the guy was recording and releasing an album. If the story is true, THAT is impressive.

[@Ugc-ri4tw]

I think his riffing is sooooooo aggresive, and some licks have a southern influence reminding me of Dimebag

You can get the Gary Holt signature ESP at N Stuff Music for a great deal!

[@Anonymous71892]

Gary Holt is a LEGEND in his own right. Played in 2 of the main Thrash Bands and basically led Exodus. His riffs are killer and his leads are NICE as well. His style is what I’m kind of going for. The prototype Riffster WITH Leads to boot

gary is a legend one time during a show he was in the middle of a guitar solo so he did a dive bomb sat the guitar on a table drank a beer and played the rest of the song this was during the farewell tour during angel of death SLAYER FOREVER

Gary is such a cool humble dude

[@lancifers5.047]

In 1986 my cousin and I went to the Trade Center and bought some albums with one being Bonded By Blood.I never like the metal he played like Maiden or Priest so I look at the songs and was thinking thee are sick titles and I saw one that was labeled "Piranha/No Love" I was thinking what the fuck is Piranha no love so I put it on and that was the first song of thrash metal I heard and the drums intro with the tone of the guitar and the alternate picking with the galloping and Baloffs vocals fucked me running and I became a flat out junkie and I couldn't get enought thrash and I became addicted to death metal and the the Swedish wave of death metal and it was all due to this riff GOD!Tom Hunting and Holt are the most dominate duo ever.You cant spell Gary Holt with G O A T. All hail the king.

[@gregorygudin8216]

Gary is such a cool guy

[@XCenturionX]

Gary is the coolest guy ever. Thanks for this.

[@Olegstuff21986]

He's pretty funny and down to earth. I like his style, he may not have the most technical leads, but they're very memorable and fit the songs well.

[@roenker69]

I’m not of a fan of slayer nor exodus. Gary showed some strong personality traits that I was impressed with. His approach to life and music is inspirational. The staff at Nstuff music were well prepared for this clinic. Big ups for the Sarra boys, Dave Lewis, CC, Mike and Muscle beach. Hopefully this will be the start of more clinics to come.

[@NStuffMusic]

Thanks brother! We appreciate the shoutout!

[@joshuataft5541]

Love his guitar taste

[@adammammana367]

Gary is the man. King and Lombardo knew Hanneman was not coming back. During a European festival the two cruised the festival looking for replacements. Jeff had always said Gary is his replacement so as they got closer to the stage Exodus was playing at they knew Jeff was right it was a no brainer. Guitar players just down pick constantly. I play drums and finding a down picker is hard.

[@jamesmccracken9323]

Gary Holt is the true master riffer, besides James Hetfield , -2 greats on the 6 strings that don t go unnoticed but never get the deserved respect they both deserve, Gary 's riffs are phenomenal just like James !! Old school metal with just plugging in and getting a sound that is great and the rest is in your hands but this new tech products are way too pricey and all this tech jibberish is way beyond my point, its not my stuff but too each his own !

[@kirkleroy988]

How the fuck could you not like this guy......

[@RadeonPro1]

What did the guy in the audience at 15:50 say? I can't hardly hear him but it sounds like he made one huge positive compliment towards or about Gary Holt. Anyone know what he said!?

[@patrickvaina9759]

That was me! I originally asked Gary if he had any positive advice about life and then complimented on Gary being a huge inspiration towards my guitar playing as a hearing-impaired guitar player. Been playing since I was 13 and never let my disability stop me from chugging out some br00tal riffs and he admired that compliment and the whole crowd gave a great round of applause. One of the most down to earth musicians I've ever met!

[@RadeonPro1]

I totally forgot to respond to your comment, my apologies! That is awesome to hear though! I play electric guitar myself and i'm still trying to figure out my own material and riffs that i am trying to come up with. It's not easy by any means since i know and want a really good riff myself. In your opinion though, what would be a good starting point to making your own riff? I try and get inspiration from other bands but then nothing amazing ever happens. Got any suggestions!? I would gladly appreciate any advice!

[@patrickvaina9759]

Sure do brother! I'll post some riffage to my page soon. Just picked up an ESP LTD Vulture (Hetfield Sig Model) and it's absolutely gnarly!

[@patrickvaina9759]

RadeonPro1 - No problemo man. Life gets us busy - honestly, the best thing that improved my playing ten fold was to jam with a drummer. It helps you find the groove and I stick to the KISS method. (Keep It Simple Stupid). The best rock/metal bands made some of their most popular songs with simple riffs. Look how powerful the song Black Sabbath is and the majority of the song is like, 3 notes. Also, if you come down with something sick, write it down because the chances are you're going to forget it in a few days.

[@RadeonPro1]

Absolutely man! I got a full time job going on now so it's hard to fit the time in to jam, usually i practice on the weekends if im not busy doing other stuff. I totally hear ya, some of the most amazing songs are simple and are easy to learn. For me personally, just playing some Black Sabbath riffs here and there reminds me to keep it simple when i come up with something new. I usually will come up with something new and record it on my phone right away so i can hear what i was playing but i definitely need to start writing the riffs out also. Keep up the good work doing whatever you are doing! Cheers!

David Huizhao Qu The Kemper is just a lot easier for most touring musicians these days, it’s a lot cheaper and you won’t have to worry about your head getting damaged. Although I’m sure he just uses the kemper because he prefers his modded Marshall’s over a DSL-100 and he’s said in other interviews his 1987 modded Marshall’s don’t leave his house.

After Prince died I kept hearing how amazing a musician he was. I know that he was a talented guitarist but I've always considered him to be overrated and pretentious. I went back and listened to some of his stuff to see if I was missing something or if it appealed to me more now that I'm older but I didn't like it any more than I did in the eighties. I think Gary is just being gracious in describing prince the way he does.
