I've never heard of this practice method before...

[@rafaeltrujillo_official]

Haha I gotta refresh some of the Diluvium material. Thanks for having me. It was fun!

[@esportesenegociosbr]

Sensacional, você toca muito.. Abraços do Brasil♥♥

[@KRIMHDrummer]

Rafael the Austrian shred master 🇦🇹🤘🏻

[@Ruebinok]

Since Paul Gilbert is mentioned so much and has been so influential, let's get him on the show. Make it happen Dean!

[@v0id616]

That would be interesting...

[@infinidominion]

He was recently on Beatos channel

[@technicaldeathmetalhead]

Since he played in Obscura, and Hannes Grossman and Christian Muenzer both played with Muhammad Suicmez, Dean is like 3 degrees of separation from Necrophagist.

[@stephenknives]

Rafael makes immensely tough lines look simple. I loved his worked with Obscura.

[@BittersweetDuality]

4 LEVELS OF CRYPTOPSY PLEASE

[@sip__]

My man 🤝

[@Mahina-Kekoa]

That would be sweet

[@vargvikernes3103]

Been saying this for a while 😊

[@SladeRenegade]

A person of culture.

[@longshanks5531]

No

[@PudWud1]

4 levels of Obscura would be cool. Mixture of Muenzner, Geldschlager and Trujillo would be a nice challenge.

[@hungryguitarstudent]

The level of control Rafael has is insane

[@SIGMA-PHONIC]

I've been a daath fan since I discovered Emil W about 15 years ago. I'm so glad to see they are continuing. Eyal is an amazing guitarist as well.

[@djibridibili]

"I think you're just great", Dean blushing

[@DennisFeinsteinCEO]

Rafael was actually lucky enough to have enough skill points to get an awesome avatar as well. Dude shreds and has flowing locks... Talk about lucking out 😅

[@guyrozanes9832]

4 levels of Obsidious...but you'll die

[@bigmike70]

This is such a sick series. Such valuable information and insights. Thanks so much Dean!

[@wrongperfection]

4 levels of Daath when?

[@rodrigueslazaro]

Or 4 levels of Obsidious

[@Bequeefed]

This ☝️

[@awguitarroom8033]

Didn't know he was playing in Daath thats awesome. I haven't listened to them since Emil was the lead guitarist. Such a sick band

[@Sabroe_ffs]

Rafael is one of my all time favorite guitar players. His main-sweep-melody-thing in Akroasis is just amazing

[@Otown230]

He's a great guitarist but it was fountainhead(Tom g) who wrote said parts in akroasis.

[@QcflamethrowerQc]

this is such a great idea Dean!! and what a perfect first guest too. Rafael is insanely good

[@ori2085]

The Jason Richardson episode will break the internet!

[@prosto_ebeyshiy]

Hello Dean! I clicked on the notification as fast as I could! I am a big fan of Rafael. Big THANK YOU for this video!

[@pedrorosapaiva4986]

Phenomenal Series

[@shaharbar]

Love this series Dean, Raffy is a fucking beast! Can we get some Wes Hauch love?

[@spoonerluv]

His playing is so incredibly clean

[@jackclj]

I love your concept. They're in a tour right now but a lesson with Sam Vallen from Caligula's Horse would be great!

[@jamieplatt333]

Rafael's playing is literally some of my favourite guitar ever, he has such a distinct style and sound 😍 👌🏻 🙌🏻

[@dylanellis3933]

I take lessons from Christian Muenzner I highly recommend one you both have a classical influence to your stuff!

[@bolillo5013]

This kind of content is great; it’s informative and entertaining.

[@RÅNÇIÐ]

Diluvium is my favorite Obscura album. Can't wait for the new Daath album.

[@drmoshie]

Fucking awesome! Love Rafael, he's really pushing the boundaries

[@mcspiffington]

big thumbs up on the big trouble t shirt. film was an absolute fever dream thank you for reminding me of its existence.

[@sloydawn]

Ooo big fan of Rafael. Thanks for posting this

[@puffballbk2186]

I knew this video would come so happy that it’s here

[@ozzygurkaya]

Finally ,Rafael !

[@2174863]

Rafael can’t be human

[@bang8782]

Seeing you guys June 21st cannnnnnot wait.

[@swina666]

Do it with Christian Münzner!

[@NefastusJones]

4 levels of Behold The Arctopus.

[@aizazlaghari9523]

Get brandon ellis on this new series , even better if you do 4 levels of death metal with him.

[@TooSlamToGiveADamn]

This is awesome! It’s be so cool to see Emil Werstler on this series. 🤘🤘🤘

[@diabeticmonkey]

Yes. He’s so absurdly good

[@JWTechn1qu3]

Very nice!

[@powerhitter033]

This is an awesome series, Dean!

[@shantanuc835]

Great vid Dean! btw, curious to know what that "CANANDA" behind you is.....

[@DeanLamb]

It's simply a neon sign to indicate in which country I reside. Nothing special.

[@moumouzel]

Trujilo is awesome, both as a guitar player and a composer

[@austinyun]

I would love to see you go really in depth into your picking mechanics.

[@akin519]

I met him in Istanbul with panzerballett last year, such a great guy!

[@ziondia4607]

testicular torsion

[@blackmetalbreadstick]

Rafael is one of the best guitar players and he's so fucking cool man

[@thisguy2973]

Jose Mangin at Liquid Metal once referred to the guitarists from Daath as “Shreddy Krugers”

[@RumpleStiltzkin-bu5he]

Awesome shirt Dean. One of the greatest movies ever made. I had a jack burton tank top, but it had a couple stains on it. I had to get rid of it. 😢

[@v0id616]

How'd you feel about Joe Cocchi from Within the Ruins? Or Charlie Robbins?

[@lestatt6996]

Trying to play like Dean and Rafael would definitely be my goal 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@XenoTravis]

I remember some were all so mean to him because of what steffen did to Tom during the obscura album. Sure he sucked the first live gig but he is younger than me and was just thrown into a legendary death metal band. I would do it then leave right after like most do. Never thought I'd say I'd rather he stayed and Christian never joined

[@scoobybenguitars]

Amazing vid!

[@Overgis4058]

I feel like I can play what's in the video, but only if I hybrid pick it. What's the name of that song he played on the red guitar, I wanna try my hand at it.

[@gregburgess4211]

Love this

[@ShelRaiser]

Raf is incredible.

[@OttoServe]

Emil Werstler or Wes Hauch lesson would be so cool

[@siggycertified]

This is a legit question.... How long did it take for you to get to the energy level that you currently start your videos with? It's something I'm having a hard time knowing that I need to do myself in order to get more.... engagement. Just curious from your end.

[@DeJotaGamer]

Maybe at the end of the video, you could jam with your "single day teacher"

[@ymmijl]

I'd love to see something with Luke or Tim from Protest the Hero..

[@xxitz_pr0gxx631]

He is SOOOOOOOOOO badass at music!

[@ouroboricform]

best guitarist obscura ever had.

[@ericwong9318]

He’s a great player. Like a modern prog death Paul Gilbert

[@protolexis]

Rafael was incredible in Obscura. Unfortunately I just can’t get into Daath despite his skill level.

[@andreacaloiaro6038]

I have one unrelated question: why does Dean's neon light spell "Canada" as "CanaNda"? Is some inside thing I know nothing about?

[@deadasfak]

4:07: "it doesn't make sense to start leaning sweep picking but don't know how to alternate pick", oh boy howdy my 17 year old self disagrees lol

[@matthewbaer7871]

4 levels of giving Matt an 8 string kiesle

[@n.o2164]

Akroasis solo is straight fayahh

[@Everythingwentblack69]

4 levels of Nile

[@rocketsurgery912]

I’ve been putting all my skills points into “hitchhiking the open road wearing denim”; I look fuckin’ cool, but playing the skin flute doesn’t buy a man any more denim.

[@tomatomtom4921]

Who's the guitarist/teacher he's mentioning at the end?

[@DeanLamb]

Oh! Tim Miller!

[@juliendemills3213]

4 levels of death metal Periphery please

[@augmented2nd666]

Roy Marchbank

[@pungentzeus]

[@Mahina-Kekoa]

[@RumpleStiltzkin-bu5he]

That green kiesel with the evertune...🤌

[@replicated]

DEANO WITH THE BEANO

[@zhdrums3872]

Need 4 Levels of First Fragment!

[@lukedavies900]

Rafael's alternate picking is obscene. Laser accuracy. Cannot relate to finding inside picking easier though, I've always found outside way easier, really interesting.

[@tiborkovacs5317]

4 levels of status quo eh not really metal but it's difficult to get the boogie hahah

[@slavicobelrus2466]

4 levels of rings of Saturn 🪐

[@Sam-np9xe]

is this a zoom call? or discord? How are yall playing to eachother?

[@DeanLamb]

Discord yeah

[@Sam-np9xe]

@@DeanLamb bro you have got to do a short video of how to set this up. A buddy of mine and I have tried to do this multiple times. I can't figure out how to have multiple inputs in discord, one for the mic and one for the guitar?

[@janezpungartnik3149]

Now get Fountainhead next...

[@matchress3832]

Alright but why did that background bluegrass in the intro go so hard tho?

[@DeanLamb]

Hell yea

[@greidy93]

4 Levels of ABBA when?

[@nenntmichbond]

I love you

[@ziondia4607]
