Chromatism is metal

[@laurikguitarcovers]

And Slayer shows it

That transition from Burnt Offerings into Symphony was fabulous!

[@NoDoSwLa]

hell yeah!

[@kartikchandrasekhar7393]

"KIRK HAMMETT: We were drinking at the Carlson house one night, and Lars turned on the tape deck: "Listen to this, man. Fostex Multitrack Mesa/Boogies with James playing the heaviest riff ever!" It was the main riff to 'Master of Puppets', which had been quadrupled on all four tracks and sounded super heavy. And I knew it immediately as this joke riff that James would always play on the D string. He just dropped it down to the low E string and it was suddenly this whole other thing."

[@danoliver3053]

I straight away thought of Megadeth when I saw the title. Dave Mustaine loves a bit of chromatic playing.

[@andrewpappas9311]

System of a Down has a lot of really good chromatic riffs like Chop Suey!, Sugar, Suite Pee and countless others so I’m surprised they weren’t on here as well. Daron Malakian does love his chromaticism

[@ACE-dw6ol]

Because there are a lot of bands beside soad😂

[@PowuhToSeven]

​@@ACE-dw6olso they don't get a single mention? Your logic is as solid as baby shit.

[@JacobNates]

Burnt Offerings into Symphony was TOO smooth!

[@emirglc4]

Your tone is so good

[@sutach]

I love chromatic intro in slayer - bloodline (god hates us all) it's one of the first metal riffs that I played

[@YusfKr]

3:05 müthiş geçiş yapmışsınız hocam çok iyi:D

[@Xammblu_Games]

Hell yeah! Chromatic! Lost And Found by Prong was one of the first riffs I learned!

[@TheSuffocater]

Killer video !!

[@erikl6988]

Metal Church by Metal Church on the album Metal Church has my favorite chromatic riff ever. METAL CHURCH!

I was expecting Erotomania to represent Dream Theater, but oh well :) cool list, will need to check some of those out. Cheers

[@Bannana0798]

Can you do breakdowns?

[@euancamz3740]

KILLING SPREE. I’m so glad you put that song in, it’s one of my favourite

[@kenhoyle4975]

Another great megadeth one is This was my life, Dave does a lot with cheomatisicm

[@marcusjones882]

Great to see people using musicman guitars! I was scared to buy one because I knew I wouldn't pick up my ibanez jem or prestige anymore. But I'd still use my especially and Jackson as they're set up in D and Eb. Anyway about 5 years ago was the end of my downfall with alcohol and other things, I'm embarrassed to say. And it led to me selling half my guitars. I sold 3 ibanez guitars 2 rg and the jem, and a fender. But I have 1 ibanez semi acoustic left. And still have my esp and esp 8 string and Jackson (japanese made in 96). I have been 100% abstinent for 5 years and I think now is the time to replace what I've lost, with a musicman set in E standard. Think I might treat myself to a JP6!

[@IanIsrael]

The groove of Slowly We Rot is so fckin sick!!!

[@s.f.morris7331]

how about some Death Angel? Flotsam & Jetsam, Prong, Voivod? that was killer by the way. it actually turned me on to some bands I haven't listened to but heard of before. The Testament you got me hooked. ive loved that band since the first day I heard them back in 1986 or 87. Got to open for them once with the band I was in at the time "Envirusment" Prong was also on that bill.

[@benhogan6675]

Nice video, that bass sounds nasty!

[@RoRo-vr6wx]

I don't even know what "chromatic" means, but this was a good, good video.

[@necessarycynicism6304]

When the notes played are one semi-tone from each other in sequence. I.E. Adjacent frets. 1-2-3.

[@RoRo-vr6wx]

@@necessarycynicism6304 I don't know Theory at all but the fact that you said "1 2 3", I can now finally understand haha.... I think I've made a riff using this formula too

[@OkOk-bj6nn]

@@RoRo-vr6wxthink of it like going up or down one fret at a time or “half step” which means the same thing 👍

[@RoRo-vr6wx]

@@OkOk-bj6nn okay that's pretty educational thanks

[@salty_3k506]

​@@RoRo-vr6wxdepending on how long you've been playing guitar, you should really learn some basics of theory at least. it's not as hard or boring as people make it out and there are plenty of fun things to do with it as a guitarist.

[@tylerbrittan593]

Great video. But, maaaaan…. No Them Bones??

[@manocornuta]

Very good video! All the songs I spontaneously thought of are represented in the video and many more! Metal up your ass! 🤘

[@joaopaixao5499]

Awesome stuff!! Great selection of songs aswell \m/

[@Lektuerekurs]

Great video, great selection, great sound! And a really nice guitar^^ If I may add just what riffs I spontaneously think of, I would add 4 Horsemen by Metallica and Korn Freak on a Leash

[@ulissesvidaldaluz779]

Bro how do you get this sick tone

[@juanparramunoz1757]

Great job men! I answer if hou can do a video of metalcore riffs

[@HDAZOfficial]

Awesome man! Thanks!!

[@sakos3456]

This easily could've been a top 10 Megadeth riffs 😆

[@awguitarroom8033]

Very good video idea and playing man 🤘

[@slapstickbob]

Thank you for the video! Can you please tell the scale length and pick ups please?

[@titanic21]

Definitely missing out on Judas Priest - The Ripper, but other than that, superb list!

[@Rebar77_real]

Killer shit man! 🤘

[@Tatorvision]

Fight Fire With Fire was and is always an underrated song in my opinion.

[@micheleframmolini307]

Genio assolutamente Genio , grazie Mister 😂😂😂😂😂❤

[@theproblemmustbeinyourpant5910]

All these people saying he should of put this and that song, it’s a list, not even a top 20. That means it is what it is and I think he did a pretty damn good job.

[@kirillvyskubov8788]

I’m always waiting for your videos, you rock !!!!! Thanks for an amazing content

[@azzaaghtoth]

Nice work 👍👍👍

[@SherinaZapa]

Thank you for sharing

[@st0nedcreature17]

Suffocation - Despise the Sun Truly brutal riff based on chromatism

[@alex.ginola]

Tonlar Pentagram'ın Anatolia albümünü andırdı.Demir Demirkan o albümde Mark iv kullanmıştı. Muhtemelen benzer presetleri kullanmışsınız tebrikler.

[@МихаилЛебедев-ч2ф]

Awesome this guitar!!!!

[@TheBlackKnight1o1]

Gwar wrote one of my favorite chromatic riffs in the song War Party

[@JPPVDTI]

Where's angel of death breakdown?

Great stuff man ! Learning a lot

[@ДанилоМаксимовичПечура]

Chromaticism - is a basis of thrash metal

[@iceandblaze92]

Great video

[@giulicoppi]

Awesome 🙌👏👏🎸🧑‍🎤

[@MaestorRasanen]

That change from Fight Fire to Practice what you preach? That fucked my time sense completely. :D Had to press back once to get the rhythm correct. :D

[@ibrahimbirdal]

It is because of Fight Fire With Fire, it sounds like the power chords hits on beat but actually they hits on 8th note off beat :)

[@MaestorRasanen]

@@ibrahimbirdal Yeah yeah I know but it's so fucking funny! :D

[@CizzleMusic]

Great vid! - Question: What's the signal chain? Is that a EBMM JPX guitar? Thanks!

[@HeavyWeapon858]

Cannibal Corpse has some good chromatic riffs too. Hence A Skull Full Of Maggots

[@aydenhenley7147]

Edible autopsy is my favorite chromatic riff by CC

I like this channel

[@lorenzomartone1476]

Hi, I noticed with great pleasure that in this wonderful lesson of yours, there are two riffs from Testament. I would like to ask you: why don't you create videos where you explain how to play the riffs and solos from the first two amazing albums of Testament? I don't know if you've noticed, but it's practically impossible to find accurate tabs and tutorials for their songs on the internet. Considering how many fans Testament has worldwide, I believe you would get a lot of views if you transcribed their solos and riffs

[@joshbouman1654]

Stunned the chromatic palm mute run from the chorus of Anthrax - Indians isn't here. Not to mention the complete lack of slams.

[@stantorren4400]

Every slam riff is the bloody same

[@lacalacadevic2887]

The lack of Chromatic Death by S.O.D is surprising

[@JaysWave75]

YES! I was hoping it would make the list, It should have been the finale! LOL

[@bikerjon8934]

would have been too obvious

[@emrahu1327]

Vay be hocam ayni tarihlerde izmitte yaşamışız. Hala da ordayim ben gerçi. Bilseydim seni bulur yakana yapişır bana bu shred olayını ögret diye yalvarirdim😂

Raining blood

[@rcengineer]

you can't just make a list of chromatic metal riffs without Tony Iommi riffs. War Pigs and Electric Funeral are perfect chromatic riffs.

[@a3ipib763]

I'd add Take No Prisoners intro

[@janneckchristiansen2778]

Pantera "Walk"?

Plz mention the guitar tunings of particular songs it helps a lot to understand the arrangement of music for beginners like me and other 😊

Wish you had played 'that riff' from Spiritcrusher, great video
