Guitarist REACTS to Fender Custom Shop Game of Thrones SIGIL Series

Putting more than 1 lead guitarist in a room at one time is a bad idea. Putting 5 of them in there? Nuts. Andy reacts to the Sigil Series guitars being shredded-upon by Tom Morello, Nuno Bettencourt, Brad Paisley, Scott Ian, Dan Weiss, all designed by Ron Thorn at Fender Custom Shop.

Brad Paisley is a MONSTER. He can play everything. Dude’s hybrid picking is top notch. He’s arguably the most successful dude on that stage.

[@tb2324]

I would disagree. Is Objectively the most successful Dude on that stage!!

[@pg1171]

I WHOLEHEARTEDLY agree! If they could just have Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed, Roy Clark, and Mark Knopfler....

[@Helicus]

Morello has sold about 7 million more albums across RATM and Audioslave, so who's more successful may be up for debate. Paisley's a hell of a guitar player though, was really impressed with him here, having not listened to his stuff before

[@tresbeauxcallender]

Brad Paisley is like Vince Gill - sneaky shredders

[@wezjonez8590]

Brad Paisley was asked to sprinkle fairy dust on it, and instead he laid the smack down. Brilliant piece of Collab all around!

[@TheRealSabakuNoGabo]

As a beginner guitarist, this song is overwhelming because of the sheer mass of talent and dedication those people gave to their instrument. It inspires us to keep pressing.

[@edumaker-alexgibson]

That pattern on Brad Paisley's guitar... it's Paisley.

[@munkypilot]

Brad Paisley playing a Paisley pattern tele which originated in......Paisley....

[@moneypit30]

😂🤣😂

[@MouseRata]

Yes!😂🤣

[@JasonDawe]

Morello always makes me happy.

[@dawnbocock3053]

They're all fantastic in their styles. SI is the driving force. I'm the most fan of Nuno. Killed it. And Paisley...out of nowhere...with his Faiery Dust. Nailed it.

[@brianblake1968]

Brad really is world class, and fit in well with the group. Looked like he impressed Nuno, which isn't easy.

[@captainp.2721]

Nuno is also a fantastic player.

[@somegyrl9650]

Tom Morello’s solo also sounds almost Pink Floyd influenced.

[@guitarscoverskevin3517]

that Tele Dan Weiss was using is Jim Root's Signature model, in case no one has said

[@brownwarrior6867]

The composer’s face at the end says it all.

[@HfknK]

This was a fantastic song. These guys are some of the best ever and they all played well together. Brad did toss some country twang in there, loved it. It was also good to see the song writer and the movie creator playing here. For each of them throwing in some of their own style of playing, it all blended in great.

"I like these Amoebas on Brad Paisley's guiter"...haha, they are Paisleys...such a great video!

[@geoffsun1662]

I didn't think I could enjoy this legendary gathering of guitarists any more, but you proved me wrong sir

[@85funnyguy]

One of Brad paisley’s Grammys Is for his guitar playing .

[@STILLPHENOM]

Nuno is taking me right to the 80s classics. Love it.

[@oliverramirez459]

This is one of the best collaboration that I’ve ever heard 👍 all I can say they’re the best 🇺🇸🇵🇭 and they are what you call the avengers guitarist 😁😁😁

[@bobtony6036]

i like how tom introduces himself as tom morello, as is all of these guys don't already know who each other are, lol

[@apchapman75]

Love the Moomin shirt Morello is wearing!

[@douglaswilliams6834]

Thank you for the analysis, Sir.

[@AndrewFriedberg]

My pleasure!

[@geoffsullivan7902]

Genius, especially for a GOT fan. Enjoy! ❤️🎼🤘😎when Scott Ian is there, you don’t need another rhythm guitarist. Brad rings beautiful chords until it’s go time. Love your technical commentary.

[@ptw783]

I listened to it before reading the comments and then heard you say you didn’t know Brad could play. It was an awesome response through the video

[@AndrewFriedberg]

Thanks man! Brad can def play!

[@scottm599]

Hysterical take on a very fun video!

[@CryptoHP]

Awesome video bro

[@at-nu5ys]

Great analysis

[@AndrewFriedberg]

Thanks!

[@davidwatson7196]

Great video reaction!!! I just wanted to add that the reason why DB Weiss is so good at guitar, is because he was the personal assistant for musician Glenn Frey of the Eagles Band. A lot of people does not know this. Again. Great video reaction!!!

[@aryanmehta9576]

Damn man learned a lot! Thanks!

[@AndrewFriedberg]

Thank you!

[@FerretJohn]

As I said in the original video, who knew Dan Weiss could hold his own with these heavyweights? I am thoroughly impressed!

[@rustyshackleford6549]

Subscribed man 🤘🏿

[@Rusty_Gold85]

When I first heard the GOT theme during the intro ,back in like 2012 , I was thought it was weak and fluffy . It has grown on me in the way it influences mood in the series. This original clip I saw a long time back and had no idea of the intricacy's of it. Thanks for the breakdown

[@stanleymay4796]

Great analysis, the white tele you mentioned is a fender jim root signature telecaster. He also has a strat and 2 jazzmasters. Amazing review keep it up Edit: Oh yh I forgot to mention to mention I think the black strat is a David Gilmour strat, im not sure but maybe.

[@AndrewFriedberg]

Thanks! Really appreciate the support and the info! Gotta get a jazzmaster....

[@mantyomena]

I stumbled on your video watching the fender video for the n:th time. You seem like a wholesome dude, one I'd love to just have a beer with. Thanks for the vid and do your thing!

[@AndrewFriedberg]

Hey, thanks!

[@ronaldp.vincent8226]

Not only is Brad Paisley a good guitar player, there is a STRONG case he is the "best" in the room.

[@barrymantz6026]

He's alone in that room!

[@JFDavis-lq1bp]

This is a ridiculous comment

[@ronaldp.vincent8226]

@@JFDavis-lq1bp I would recommend listening to these tracks if you think it's ridiculous: Les is More Chicken Chet Time Warp Cluster Pluck His version of Jingle Bells Throttleneck Nuno and Tom could match him or beat him at rock and metal, but the guy can play rock, jazz, blues, country, bluegrass, surf... He's probably written just as many (if not more) guitar instrumentals as the others. I didn't make that comment lightly.

[@geoffsullivan7902]

Genre aside, not everyone there reads music, that’s clear. The music is taped to the floor in front of them. Scott Ian, not nervous,not talking….totally paying attention. He’s next to the composer, that’s important. Gotta believe they are in that order for a reason too. Brad definitely brought his skill set, that’s obvious by the time it’s his turn. He’s over there ringing chords like he wrote it, and Ramin Djawadi loves all of it. He’s genuinely smiling as they go and stops playing, for a minute. Great collaboration, fun to watch!

[@jackkdcd]

Paisley is an absolute Chad on the guitar. You ain’t wrong. Mr. Policeman is another great shred track of his

[@chrisangel7437]

The little things on his guitar are actual paisleys Paisley or paisley pattern is an ornamental textile design using the boteh (Persian: بته) or buta, a teardrop-shaped motif with a curved upper end

[@Phanton-Racing]

For me. Brad Paisley and Nuno Betancourt play the best solos.

[@nunodias4644]

This is a show,jam , masterpiece made for fender..... knowing that they are all 1of1 made for everyone specifications.... That jag , Nuno s one is carved and none of the pickup are original....despite being a publicity for fender, they are guitar gods on their own way and just like Tom said...."sounds like guitar center 98" and NUNO says, which by the way it's also my name and Portuguese, " let's put some springle....fairy dust on it ..... And they did.... it's been almost 3 years since I've seen this for the first time and still love it ..... Those are guitar gods....what else could we expect!!! Guitar bass n drums since 88....I kinda know a bit let's say of technique,shred and play with the heart....and here we have all those and more.... RESPECT FOR ALL....just my umble opinion......

[@mynamejeff4883]

I am sure many others have pointed it out but just in case. The pattern on Brads guitar is called Paisley just like his name and you have seen it for years on bandanas among many other fabrics so you were correct sir. Just a bit off by saying amoebas.

[@BROKExx]

i thought he was throwing in that as a joke cause everyone know what paisley is

[@element720]

Chills

[@denniscreganii8419]

Those aren’t ameba on Brad Paisley’s guitar. That design pattern is known as “Paisley.” Commonly seen on men’s ties. “Paisley refers to a patterned cloth inspired by an ancient Persian design of curved, teardrop shapes in many different colours. The pattern became very popular in Europe during the 18th and 19th centuries and its English name comes from the town in southwest Scotland where the cloth was produced.”

[@AndrewFriedberg]

Thanks, I've been told :) It makes sense now

[@billybirdy9507]

Nuno and Ramin played solos that captured the mood of the song perfectly.

[@TheBoy4Life]

Idc about about how surprised I or anyone else was. Look at Scott and Nuno's faces when little Bradley goes off, the were melting.

[@RyneMurray23]

Nuno Bettencourt is so sick🔥🔥

[@didayedoudatt8172]

Let’s be honest. Brad Paisley outrocked and outplayed all of them

[@aziandomination16]

than how do you explain how toms solo made me soil my pants huh

[@freddiefingers1186]

@@aziandomination16 🤣

[@marianoalba1853]

Nah, Tom’s solo stole the show, hands down.

[@fitnowandlater]

Without a doubt! Paisley is one the most versatile and talented guitarist playing today. Look at Nuno’s reaction when Brad finished. 😮😮 Not to take away from the massive talent in that room.

[@starboy8357]

You sure will be a big youtuber my friend🤙. Awesome review. Oh and can you do a nirvana review video🙏

[@FateGathersStudios]

It looked like Tom had the switch on neck/middle, resulting in a humbucker :)

[@CaughtInp]

I only know Brad from his song Whiskey Lullaby but holy fk I did not know he could shred a guitar like that.

[@madmonkey7411]

4:35 that looks to me like the Jim Root Telecaster

[@OneVoiceMore]

Watched this 50 times, just now realized Brad's guitar is embossed with a paisley design. I see what Thorn did there.

[@xandergray4395]

@4:30 thats the signature guitar of Jim Root of Slipknot🔥

[@ksenijajemensek6126]

Nuno Bettencourt is my favorite guitar player 🎸

[@wyattbreymeyer4033]

brad paisleys part blew me away i had no clue he could do that

[@smmyers5956]

Scott Ian was kick'n back enjoying the flow and feelin the groove. His presence is the backbone rhythm of the song. Many don't realize how important this is. Brad showed he can hang with the best. Nuno is Nuno nuff said. Thom Morelo has a sound that no one else has. Dan Weiss payed it down. Definitely established his cred. You know as a composer Ramin has skills. Was a little annoyed that the other guys weren't on pace. As they played you could see some smiles on Ramin's face as he enjoyed what was happening.

[@dedza22]

I think Ramin Djavadi played a Fender Performer Strat HSS.Check it out, it’s awesome.

[@rrm2305]

All very good solos for me Dan just edged it. Got to hand it to Scott Ian he kept everything ticking along and wasn't phased in the slightest.

[@ElessarUSMC]

Like to see you do a reaction to Prince’s guitar solo from While My Guitar Gently Weeps in George Harrison’s rock & roll hall of fame induction event with Tom Petty. It’s kinda like this where you’ve got a lot of alpha guitar players on stage together with Steve W and Tom Petty and there’s some interesting behind the scenes stuff about them asking Prince to this solo and him not showing up to rehearsal and no one was really sure he’d do it etc, I don’t know there’s some interviews with Harrison’s son who’s playing in there, and some others. And there’s some really interesting son stage presence stuff between Prince and the band that I’m curious about. Great solo.

[@austinburns9355]

Bro 2 minutes in and this guy is an even bigger bs’r than me. Which I didn’t know was possible 😂 dude said you gotta play your craziest lick and then does a descending pentatonic😂

Thsi is my favorite rendition of the GOT theme.

[@richat1691]

we can all agree brad paisley rocked up to the court like he was lost and then started raining down 3's

[@ansiaaa]

the story reminded me of the guitar shop scene from Wayne's World 2

The Amoebas as You Call them are Paisleys, That Group of Some The Best Guitarists in the World are Simply Having Fun And Creating One of the Best Guitar Compositions of All Time Did This Voluntarily on Their Own Time, And Added their own unique style, I Saw them As Having a Great Time Joking around and Not Letting their Egos Ruin the Moment, And Last of All, All of them were likely not Concerned with The Critical Opinions of Anyone That Is Evaluating their Contributions based on The Critics Own Ego based Opinions Everyone is Entitled to have an Opinion, but Why Try to Take Apart and Slam Any of them? That is what this Video seems like it is About, They Are Just about having Fun it Appears. Js.

[@lindennottingham3662]

it's a paisley pattern...on Brad Paisley's guitar... as much as I love all of these guitarists, Brad Paisley brings it here.

Omg i am amazing

[@rexy-qx5ky]

Tom is easily the best there, then Brad. I've seen tom do a solo at a Bruce Springsteen concert and it was unbelievable.

[@captainp.2721]

Nuno and Brad are the best. Tom is cool but it's a gimmick.

[@85funnyguy]

You can just buy brads guitar. It’s $1200, but I don’t know if it’s still for sale new. He has a new esquire out.

[@user-yb1pi7wl5x]

НА 18:05 Все вместе посмотрели "чё за хуйня?" , затем подумали "да и похуй" доиграли.)))

[@pg1171]

All of these guys are Fantastic! Those aren't amoeba's on Brad Paisley's axe, they are PAISLEYS! And if you knew your music, you would know that Country guitarists are most likely the most precise in their playing. Just ask Wings of Pegasus! And Dan W did NOT out play everyone else there. He is fantastic. They ALL are. They were there, because they are some of the VERY few best in the world!

[@davidcammilleri5526]

Nuno is Italian. They are Alfa males. Scott Ian is the king of rhythm. Brad Paisley is an amazing guitarist. Love this. The solos are killer. Tom Morello is the king of the solos. The song rocks.

[@Sabina-fi9pd]

Nuno is Portuguese .. 😉

[@Sabina-fi9pd]

He is born in Praia da Vitória .. this is on an Island and not in Italy 🤗

If you’re a “blusey guy”. We women like to play and shred on guitars too!

[@austinburns9355]

Yep I’m live commenting while watching this and I’m gonna go ahead and turn it off after 9 minutes in when he said he “didn’t know brad paisley was a good guitar player.” 😂 first he said to morello is the most important guitar player since Hendrix then he didn’t know paisley was who he is. Look, I’m a hack, but this guy takes the cake 😂

[@MrDeengels]

Hi Guys this is Brad 😂😂😂

[@tredoffer]

It's ok, just say it, you don't like Nuno. Also, Toms sound has always centered around the digitech whammy pedal, it's what he's used his whole career since RATM started.

[@WarrChan]

Brad Paisley had a paisley pattern on his guitar. Go figure.

[@PatrikPatrik1]

I’m no expert and I thought the Dan Weiss solo was the worst one? Just let’s me know I don’t know guitar playing I guess

[@dinoc734]

Paisley is the only fender I think

[@fazeorlandoclan8636]

Just watch the video please

[@jamesreinmiller8377]

I thought Brad Paisley blew that Nuno dudes mind. Nuno had a stereotype in mind. I thought Vince Gill was one of the best, and he is. But Brad Paisley is the best guitarist nobody knows.

Dude said Tom morello is the “most important guitar player since Hendrix.” I’m sorry what??? 😂 KZbin really be giving a platform to everyone 😂

[@nunodias4644]

Tom uses a Whammy and not wash too much.... saying he's the best guitar player since Hendrix, ur forgetting Nuno was here we'll before and 10 times the best guitar player by guitar world magazine.....what about Ingwye Malmsteen, Joe satriani who teaches Tom since the beginning, and many others..... Joe Perry, Slash....?????? Liked your video as long as u

[@starwind7041]

Wtf 🥰😘😘😘

[@pinochio8778]

Strumming from hell....

[@caperbye474]

Tom Morello I love but that sound n effect was around way before Tom came along. But with all do respect he's not the most important guitarist since Hendrix. Not even close. I'm a metal head but I 'm a guitarist too. And I think of a few guys n gals who are more important than him outside of Metal.

[@andrewforster9973]

14.50 Similar tone - 15.15 - totally different tone enough said

[@AndrewFriedberg]

14:50 similar to the composer, who'd come before Tom. 15:15 different from Tom.

[@teuf9180]

His name is Paisley... the guitar has paisley designs on it... where the hell did you get amoeba design? It's his sig. model.

[@richat1691]

these country players are no joke..............................i still think country is lame though...........

[@dominakus]

Hey bud, I'm sure you can play the guitar. For sure. But man, you didn't touch the thing in this entire video. So why is it in your lap? Almost like you're desperately needing anyone who washes in from the algorithm to understand that you play guitar... hey bud; that could have been accomplished via the dialogue. We get it. Maybe try playing the guitar in your next video (I'm sure you do but I'm not going to look because you're the type of guy to have his guitar in his lap for twenty minutes and not play it)

[@dominakus]

I watched this video a second time and discovered that I left too early. The last five seconds you did put out a lazy half-riff. Still doesn't count. I wanted to see you jam alongside them. Like imagine coming in at certain parts during a refrain or something with a little shredding of your own.

[@msmbrady6513]

Late seeing this but Tom Morello being the most important guitar player since Hendrix is just dumb. Let's see Eddie Van Halen, Prince, Randy Rhodes, Stevie Ray Vaughan and so on. Hell Paisley is the best guitarist in the room.

[@Youcanmarket]

They are not amoeba on Brad Paisley's guitar...... that pattern is called Paisley.
