Keith Merrow- Titan

[@fieldsoftorment1]

12 years later this is still holding up!

[@dimebagjared]

I haven't heard a guitarist write riffs that make me warface and pick my guitar up and put my try pants on since DIMEBAG DARRELL. You are the man, and much appreciated. Thanks for the tunes Keith!

[@Cephalotripsy1992]

Jared Peterson that fucking riff just goes too hard it should be illegal to be this heavy

[@syzygy2464]

you've come a long way from 480p keith. What a ride

[@patinaautosalon]

Same damn dude

[@jadedjay7861]

Man, the good ole days.

[@geoffcasias9367]

Hearing and seeing this again after all the years I can see how I really internalized these riffs and helped influence me and my playing

[@Guithulhu]

Man, I can watch, re-watch, and re-re-watch Kieth Merrow videos all day.

[@plaguex1]

Beautiful guitar. Natural finish + maple fretboard, to die for man, to die for. Not to mention it sounds great.

[@diabeticmonkey]

Ah the good old days of spending almost all of my time on sevenstring.org and seeing all the new guitars and bands. I think everyone on the site kept Agile guitars in business

[@blackblurable]

Starts strong and middle but falls a bit short at the end with the ringing note(s) part. Still think Keith writes some of the best metal riffs along with Loomis and Mikael Akerfeldt of Opeth. Oh and of course Dave Mustaine. So many actually but lately Keith is the man especially in the song Spice Dealer and Pillars of Creation along with Jeff shredmazing Loomis. Keith and Jeff should do a band, and recruit Nic Ritter as their drummer or Van Williams from the Nevermore days. Be super dope.

[@geoffreyrael8703]

keith... we need a remaster of this using the Titan pickups......... just sayin

[@M8NR8E]

keith, i tuned my guild acoustic six string to your 7 in this song and after a few hours have completed one of my main goals in life... TO LEARN THIS SONG. thank you for creating this masterpiece. I will play it forever and ever, amen

[@olliewild91]

OH MY FUCKING GOD!!! so heavy. Every single song of yours blows me away every time i hear it.

[@Ningishzidd4]

A lot has happened since then, tremendous growth for one :)

[@callsignseth7679]

Damn it's been 13 years, what a beast

[@zulu1763]

My new favorite guitarist of all time. You are a God among man.

[@23.Capricorn.23]

i noticed u had sum sick guitars but this one is truly a beauty... that natural finish...

[@Ironb3rry]

Eh, listening to it again it sounds pretty good now. Another great one.

[@heathen_actual]

Sooo as you may know you rock, but I haven't listened to your CDs for a bit and this just made me want to do it again... So peace, i'm gonna go listen to ur shtuff!!!

[@YoungNickJames]

I LOVE that guitar.

[@zachcd390119]

Keith and Loomis are actually writing an album together...

[@progpogs]

@koalascandraw It's from the LA Custom Shop meaning you have to be an Ibanez endorsed artist or buy one used.

[@TheElectricFred]

You wouldnt happen to have a *Full* tab for this song would you? the one on your website only goes to the beginning of the breakdowny bit. And thats my FAV part of the song D;

[@retardhenry1122]

I've listened to about 5 of your songs so far. Gotta hand it to you brutha, you can write a fucken tune! Keepem comin!

[@M8NR8E]

i almost wrecked on 59 south towards houston head banging so hard to this song my fav for sure... whens the 3rd cd comin keith?

[@NirvanaLivesOn]

That's awesome. Very impressive

[@ponysatan765]

Dude, this is a fucking awesome tune !

[@craigcfh4106]

Recently took to playing 7 string Keith is the man his riffs are giving me hours of challenging fun 🤘

[@maxstatic]

Never get sick of watching you slay man.

[@snozbarry]

Such a sick tune man. God damn.

[@shuszzam]

i love u , ur guitar and your playing.. superb!!

[@sugarbear0413]

This is so dope. Transitions are silky smooth. Masterfully done.

[@Wentru3]

I have an Agile Scepter 725 Elite and I thoroughly enjoy that guitar. I changed the Pots on mine with EMG, which makes a huge difference in the feel of the on/off but otherwise, I wouldn't change a thing. Excellent guitar for the money.

[@JohnPhilbrickMusic]

That first riff gets me every time. Great stuff

[@mattwildchild]

Hi Keith, the tab you provided on your website only shows the two first riffs, do you happened to have an updated version? I really love this song and would like to cover this one as well :) Thanks - btw next is Cetus :) - Matthias

[@Shredwizard445]

Every video that i've seen of you just puts you on a pedestal of metal godhood.....so brainmeltingly brutal!

[@andrewsonfire]

keep up the good work man. the new cd will be awesome

[@chazdaspazman]

mega awesome diobolic 5***** this tune is great =) \m/

[@Itsoeasyafterall]

dude i wonder if you're putting this up itunes or anything, are you going to release an album any sooner, I really wanna get this song dude! i would buy this song ,download it whatever it takes to put it in my Ipod!

[@choledead]

Wow i just discover you .... amazing that you do all that stuff just yourself... remind me a lot of bottled science ... keep working man ...

[@KraytWolfwood]

I really want to hear this song everyday!! so awsome

[@AdamDallas]

@neo69hk I can answer for you! When you're double tracking, copy and paste will never work, because the reason double tracking makes a track sound thicker is that the 2 differing tracks will have ever so slight differences in intonation between the notes, creating some positive phase, or VERY slight chorus type effect, thickening the sound!

[@Shredwizard445]

Keith, you will always and forever have me nodding, grooving, and raging hard. Especially as you collaborate with the talent that accompanies you in the musical community

[@guarino88]

wow dude!!! your technique its amazing!!! where i can find your POD patch???

[@MatheusAdrian]

wow you have a lot of guitars broo... nice collection !! :)

[@nickseckler]

Your stuff just keeps getting better. This song has such a groove to it.

[@drook666]

Another masterpiece.

[@NYYscorpio]

dude, your stuff is GENIUS, i love it, its probably the best ive ever heard.

[@edzillas1]

ive pretty much been addicted to your music man, like, in a sense you really keep it simple and catchy, but its still sooo clever! keep it up man, i for one am inspired and grateful...

[@MrTheguitarweirdo]

dude you write some really good songs!

[@KieranFiferman]

@mindthegap666 7 string tuning is: Bb F Bb Eb G C F and the 8 string tuning is: F Bb F Bb Eb G C F

[@anthonyln]

every song by this man is pure perfection... i strive to have his ability to configure riffs...

[@jensmedgaffeln]

This one gave me chills. Subbed.

[@Mattelliott1234]

Your amazing.

[@xGUITARZEROx]

Im so ready for his new EP! gonna b sweet!

[@kreepmaster]

hellyeah! you have mastered the art of metal! badass!

[@shotgunndunn]

Sup dude?!? Just listened your stuff again out of the blue the other day. This was the first song of your I see heard. Your amazing man!!! This song grooves like nothing I've ever heard. I love the 'midget stomping' riff. The half time break down part. Just imagine a crowd full of metal heads with some 6'6" (that's me) stomping each tree trunk like leg on the heads of unsuspecting midgets. No offense to any actual midgets though, if that's at all possible after such a comment.

[@VTittle]

Ugh everything after that sweep harmonic sequence is just, well it's gettin' nice and heavy. haha

[@FitnessWithJer]

@diobolic5150 i have 1 thing 2 say 2 u...U F***ING ROCK!! oh and plzzzz continua making music because u r my favourite artist and it would be nice to have another amazing album on my ipod. :)

[@ummtone]

Thanks! Agile coming my way soon then, haha.. Love your music, and mixing quailty... and thanks for the fast replys everytime

[@Ironb3rry]

Sounds awesome. Started out a little sluggish, but it really became great after the intro~ish section.

[@WilsonJimenez]

such an awesome song on the merbro track

[@damaged01]

Will you please come to Spokane and play????????

[@Schlotzart]

You rock man - keep it up \m/ luv ur work!

[@givemeajackson]

i find it kind of interesting that even after he got his LACS, you still saw his agiles all over the place. they seem to be really awesome guitars for the price!

[@stc423]

God, you write everything I wish I could've written, haha. XD So you tune UP from standard? I wish to try and figure this song out by ear. :D

[@lappiolu]

OOOOOOOOOOO MYYY GOOODDD THIS SONG IS ABSOLUTELY FUCKING AMAZING

[@krikbre]

This is fucking awesome! Do you have tabs for this?

[@SirJonTheViking]

I have an 04 svt focus, foooorrdd!

[@StonersRodandCycle]

that sounds sick! what size are your strings? they sound nice and tight.

[@dealerbinq]

thats a freaking sweet ibanez! whitch model is it and where dit you bought it! pleas tell me!

[@_witchyy_]

FUCK YES! This is awesome! So much better than ever other djent style musician out there.

[@koalascandraw]

Want that guitar...o.o Where you get it? Also, epic tune

[@MatthewSharp0]

awesome brother....keep it up... what band are you playing for so i can buy the cds?

[@mindthegap666]

Whats your tuning for this song? Also whats some of your tuning for your 8 string work? You sound great man... thankx

[@MrCameronBarton]

Keith i demand more videos... yes im being demanding.. i demand what i want to demand and i demand more videos!

[@MrTheguitarweirdo]

DUDE - i titally dig the tune, LOVE YOUR IDEAS..but man, i was wondering, what drum program do you use? i need one that can pull off all the messuggah stuff and all the faceless stuff..

[@cabanasanthony6799]

Absolutely freagin awesome..

[@vidaflag]

KING!

[@drook666]

Hey! I have a question about your tone, do you plug your pod in your computer and use a program to directly record your playing to sound that awesome? I want to upload some videos but it sounds like shit... Any tips to get a better sound? I've heard that its better to record without too much sound.... nvm YOU'RE AWESOME =D

[@ZILtoid1991]

How did you get that guitar? If I'm right Ibanez LACS guitars have made only for special people since 1998.

[@666micks666maggot666]

Lucky lucky. Are you willing to say how much it was originally and what you got it for? Because i've never heard the price of a LACS thrown around before.

[@HugoFTorres]

So fucking awesome :D You're signed to any label? Do you have plans on that?

[@Rosstafa]

Awesome vid man, LACS for the win :P Listening to your EP a fair bit atm man, epic stuff.

[@jordanmajel]

Lamb of God meets Meshuggah. That's what comes to my mind when listening to this. Anyway, really cool stuff and great playing! :)

[@Siegexguitarist]

Sick-ill-awesomeness!!!! Keep it up sir! :)

[@theryanharvey]

are you using the acmebargig sims. ken told me you were haha. and is that cab enhancer or catharsis spreshigh impulses

[@GuitarAssassin2]

the volume swell at around 00:40 is brilliant.

[@theryanharvey]

yeah i know.. haha your on the sneap forum right? also the abg mix was smoother

[@kangarookangaroo702]

God, this song is so good. Really gets my gritches in a grundle if you know what I mean.

[@HavardEkremster]

Did you use Axe or POD for this? Do you eventually have a similiar Axe patch to share? (std\ultra)

[@JaySon33883]

Amazing work. I want to learn some stuff. I find it very interesting that you are tuned one half step UP. It's unusual but sounds pretty dang kewl...im gonna try that lol

[@pungsveittur]

Dude! this sounds amazing!

[@batman0466]

1:54 to the end has to be the best breakdown (for lack of a better term) ever recorded. If possible could you send tabs? that part is omitted from the tabs on your website

[@kimthebutcher]

Dude, your stuff is amazing!

[@touretul]

And is the sound thiner than the Ibanez which is bolt on I think, and, I believe, swamp ash wood?

[@Brujerio]

what is that model??? i didn't find it in the ibanez's website!

[@hodgson1]

noice what program do you use for drums?

[@Ironb3rry]

maybe because the link for his fee EP is in the description of his other videos.

[@666micks666maggot666]

!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Then how the hell did you get a Ibanez LACS? Was is out of luck or did you just buy one from someone who had one.

[@touretul]

The weight is influenced also by the body thickness, the Agile being thinner I think because of the carved top construction, like my mahogany with maple top( real maple) LTD H 500, as you say, 2 times lighter than my basswood Ibanez ( 40 cm, about 15 inch, at the Ibanez, while the LTD is 35 cm, about 13 inch). The down side is that the LTD is neck heavy because of the so light body, which really bothers me. So, are the Agiles neck heavy because of the so light body?
