Lamb of God Lesson

Willie Adler and Mark Morton teach you how to play:
1: Set to Fail
2: Walk with me in Hell
Awesome lesson from the May 2009 Guitar World Magazine

[@TiANr0ckst4r]

i always like to just come back sit down watch them play like this stripped down...chills me out man...

[@johnnyboy3664]

Love this band "FUCKN ROCK" Clean riffs tight solos fuckn awesome

[@alexanderdrumming9206]

Don’t even play guitar but watching these two play is so awesome

[@graemeozzie2251]

I love how you can still hear the blues in the playing especially in Marks solo in WWMIH. Such an awesome tip of the hat to roots.

[@jasonm572]

Thanks for sharing. These guys are so inspiring.

[@danilosantana7577]

Jason M they save the Drop D lol

[@nickaguado7]

Mark Morton shredded all over our faces at the end

[@Hello-dy1gh]

If you think playing in a drop tuning is easy? More power to you, I tend to play in a sharp tuning (which still requires full chord hold downs, it's just more natural to me because I first learned to play that way). Sometimes I wish I first learned how to play in drop tuning. You have to adjust to drop tuning, and do it well to achieve and appreciate what they are doing. Any intermediate and above guitarist knows it's true. Thanks goes out to Willie and Mark for taking the time to do this!!!

[@Airtrooper719]

Im surprised noone was here bitching about Willie's picking style, if it was on another channel they would be butthurt about it.... thank god for that!

[@JoeyC4D]

i pick the same as him :)

[@Airtrooper719]

Twitch #Obey Ive tried it lol I cant tremolo pick for shit that way! :D each to their own I suppose. I also tried playing the vomit riff the same way willy plays it....wow so hard!

[@raboredfield9053]

Airtrooper719 XBL What is there to bitch about? Sounds awesome!!..

[@benjaminrapp8651]

He does have a unique picking style that makes me feel awkward watching him play, but let's face facts, the man is a beast. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

[@Airtrooper719]

Rabo Redfield Some people get too technical these days when it comes to picking posture, the way to hold the pick, not curling all your fingers in to a fist etc.

[@benjaminrapp8651]

I love how you can hear how little gain Mark uses. It drives me crazy hearing amateur guitarists using insane amounts of gain and it ends up sounding like a fuzzy mess. Pretty much any professional or seasoned guitarist will tell you to dial it back considerably. That is how they get so much articulation, clarity and crunch. The same can be said for those who scoop their mids. That is your meat! Use those mids or you will get lost in the mix and sound weak!

[@benjaminrapp8651]

And roll back your lows! Let your bassist do his job!

[@weedshoes5089]

I guess you know more than Dime.

[@benjaminrapp8651]

weedshoes A few things. First off, although I love Dime's work, I believe he had, for the most part, a horrible tone. Also, multi tracking makes a lot of guitars sound more distorted than they really are while retaining a lot of definition. Try watching some tutorials and watching live rigs. They don't use nearly as much gain as you think and yes, they also use their mids. But hey, go right on ahead and turn your gain to 11 and dial out your mids. Let me know how that works in a live setting when no one hears you or you offend their ears.

[@tchort93]

uhh....they use emgs....the most distorted pickups out there. what your hearing is a lack of bass not distortion, i uh kinda have and use the same pickups and settings so lol.....quit your dime bashing none believer! lol

[@infinityhighway5092]

+Benjamin Rapp This is the difference between knowledge and wisdom. You offer knowledge here, it is wisdom if one chooses to use it. That said, guys will rub out numbers on gain dials before ever noticing that numbers even were written there, but it's typically because they know what they're actually doing very well.. It fuzzes out sloppy playing , hiding mistakes for the ears of a handful of drunk buddies... It's a wide area between pickup adjustment and quality, volume functions, and basic amp levels. I've always run high gain, but I play Marshalls strictly so their valvestate series, like their tube amps, could get away with it, and when using a decent amount of discipline and finesse, as well as volume level on instrument, having the effect available on hand has been preferable. Or for home solo practice, with no bass backing or 2nd rythym, the sustain can be friendly. .. In my opinion, dime was of that same school of thought that, a good player will make a shitty rig sound like a field of daisies, so his tone could be one way one night and different the next. I you mean the studio tones...well your entitled, hahaha I dont 100% agree, although there was a time when I didn't like his style or tone.. Mids are like kids, they can be whiney if you let me run open too long, or too much, but you'll hear them loud n clear, no question...lol

[@eddie6198]

The fucking grooves man! The grooves!!!!

[@kennethsantana1101]

I just figured it out and explained it in my own lesson uploading to my channel now.

[@josephhunt1620]

Great tone !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@JustinClaphan]

Thank you so much for re-uploading this with better quality =)

[@Beholder505]

Willie picks similar to Dallas from Nile. Their wrist flat against the front of the body.

[@ilkeraydinkaplan]

thats sounds very nice

[@tomatoxflames]

It really doesn't make sense to focus on mark when his guitar doesn't have any fret markers. It's probably on purpose to make it harder for everyone to figure out

[@tompezza123]

That and it looks metal as fuck!!

[@treatb09]

sure thats why he is playing that guitar…its not hard to figure out. ever studied off a finger style guitar? they rarely have markers and the music there is far more technical.

[@rajaasyraf]

Al-snow

[@olystercrowley]

9:01 makes think of slayer's "at dawn they sleep"

[@PyrokineticWraith]

id love to have it too.. but im a lefty :(

[@PyrokineticWraith]

[@Vladimiros92]

omfg so true

[@Qliphirot]

[@TangeClown]

[@metallarklemon]

EPIC :D

[@johnpaulabansado1738]

can you make again ?

[@anomitrobhowmik9853]

1:35 watch marks face

[@DTownsJokr]

My fucking face

[@bradb7207]

someone needs to turn up Willie's guitar

[@kennethsantana1101]

I watched this over and over, Mark's part is easy to decipher sonically and visually in walk with me in hell, as for Willie, I think he just bullshits his part live because it's a harmony in minor key and no one pays attention to the full step and a half lines, its minor anyway it's not like it really has a true harmony to it.

[@johnpaulabansado1738]

i dont get it .. Hope you do very slow . there a kid that slow lerner !

[@johnpaulabansado1738]

now ! i get it ! thanks you so much .. sorry for what i've said !..

[@sunslap]

[@lyochonjules4140]

What's mark guitar ?

[@zeuspestonji4142]

the Jackson dominion his signature model

[@lyochonjules4140]

Thanks guys

[@TangeClown]

well what really sucks is that THAT one isnt available anymore at all. now its just the grey one. but i guess you were screwed right away. sorry bro. zacky vengeance has almost exclusive lefties if that floats your boat

[@jumper1294]

Their picking hands are robotic 9:00

[@TangeClown]

yeah and he just had a couple made that were camo, but not as good looking as willies unfortunately. also i dont think they are for sale unless your name is bill gates lol they arent for everybody, but then again no band is

[@johnnyboy3664]

Love this band "FUCKN ROCK" Clean riffs tight solos fuckn awesome
