They Called Me Up to Play the Hardest Metallica SOLO I Know...

[@PaxtonFike-v5x]

This man started my guitar path, and here i am now. Playing live shows in front of hundreds of people. Thank you

[@timati12321]

Amazing! How long have you been playing guitar for?

[@YotaguyJosh]

You missed an opportunity to shout out your band!!! I’m in the same boat kinda. I’ve “played” since 14 but lost my interest around 22. Now at 45 I found Tyler and am learning to fly again… shred, I mean shred 😝✌️

[@PaxtonFike-v5x]

@timati12321 10 years, maybe a little less. I play melodeath. 🤘🏻

[@hellofx]

The most nerdy looking band on the planet . . . .

[@ryanroback5673]

Hope you pass that same torch to me sometime brother

[@kylekaboose3677]

I just began my journey in the FOH mixing in the live sound world, and seeing one of my heroes making a video about live guitar tone is so awesome and inspiring. Thanks for everything that you've in your guitar journey Tyler, and congrats on getting this gig!

[@natemorelock5302]

I was there when Steve Vai played, and was with someone else named Tyler 😂

[@roboshark8252]

Funny haha?

[@nickdibart]

Did he get all hyped up like it was for him?

[@natemorelock5302]

@ he’s not one to get overly hyped, but he definitely was surprised and slightly excited 😂

[@papasmurfington5264]

Eugene vs Steve round 2

[@MadNoisy]

yay cool stuf 🤘🤘

[@paolocavalli7]

loved the pedal walkthrough, really insightful

[@kennethhughmusic]

Mad props man! That looked like a lot of fun :)

I went over all the comments and didn't find anything about what I've noticed in the live show, so here it is: Congrats to the drummer! Loved his performance!

[@johnlyon7732]

The drummer and Tyler were good.

[@freddylopez7536]

I love your approach to all things life. Your brilliance your humor your musicality your generosity. You absolutely kill on all your vids and this my friend is the absolute pinnacle of an expression of genius. Thank you my friend. And yes Music is Win.

[@baimun]

I know some people involved with a School of Rock in Illinois as well as spent many years on the board of the Music Village in South Bend Indiana.... There is something really really special about helping young kids either engage with music in a way that might not have otherwise been available to them... or provide a pro-level conduit for them to participate in that might have otherwise been stifled by less satisfying garage-band level experiences. ☮💙🎶

[@mikeshanermusic]

Did anyone tell the audience why one of the kids is a grown man? lol.

[@LuisRdzG10]

It's common in schools of music. I had a similar experience like 10 years ago, helped some kids of the academy as a teacher in their live performance, in an event at the middle of a god damn mall, we played Whiskey in the Jar and Sanitarium, (got to learn the solos as well xD) so.. there I was a 30 year-old dude playing with 16-12 yo teens.

[@MadNoisy]

@@LuisRdzG10 wauw that's awesome man hahaha 🤘🤘

[@JamesContos85]

This was one of the first "cool" metallica songs I learned when I was a teenager. Fkn banger dude. You NAILED IT!

[@reubenrozeyt5716]

Now this the content I'm looking for. Love the videos when you play live

[@konstantin_gabriel_official]

Man I don’t know for how long I followed you, and was so happy to see that you have the GSS out. Immediately subscribed, no hesitation and am so happy with it. Learned more in the last two days then in the last 15 years. You are awesome! Thank you for being there 🤘🏽

[@mschlingman]

great job! That was so clean. I already knew you are an awesome guitar player, but to do that live at such a fast tempo was super impressive.

[@Sankeyite]

Definitely Agree 💯

[@heyvul]

every video you put out i start to love the channel even more

[@sarloscantana]

Rad, dude. Great job. It irks me every time people shit on Kirk. You just demonstrated that it's waay easier to talk trash online than it is to actually perform something like that LIVE.

[@eddiejr540]

Agreed 👍

[@jbon9319]

The thing that irks me about Kirk is that he's fully capable of great solos like Creeping Death and Ride the Lightning, but resorts to fast pentatonic cliches and wah pedal time and time again. It just feels lazy 95% of the time.

[@aarongrimes6490]

​@@jbon9319you say he's capable of those solos but they also use scales.

[@jbon9319]

@aarongrimes6490 Of course they use scales

[@garfieldfan3892]

@@aarongrimes6490 his new solos are bad, thats it, they don't go anywhere and are boring, nothing new. I love the dyers eve solo, and justice for all, shortest straw and damage inc. also creeping death and blackened. compare those to the lux äterna and you'll hopefully see what i mean problem is also that back in the day, many songs were like 6 minutes with 8 bar solos, not much you can put there, e.g harvester of sorrow. i like good solos, that's why im more of a fan of megadeth, but i like melodies too so thats where metallica comes into play. kirk is lazy because his arthritis which is sad

[@robertflood552]

Nailed it! Great job, awesome tone and appreciate the rig rundown!

[@shaundragt6870]

You hit the nail in the head with the line "tune to the room". I used to get so frustrated getting to the gig and have to rework all the tones. That was with an empty room then have to change again once the room is full as the audience sucks all the bottom end

[@davorsixstrings1642]

Love the live sound man. Great video!

[@TheHeadown]

So awesome to see Creeping Death being played front and center by such young musicians when I did the same about 30 years ago with my band back then. Great job by everyone, but especially the young girl that sang. 🤘

[@josephbinaco4142]

Dude, you killed that solo man!!! And they sounded so bad ass too!!!

[@ericsampoll]

Sick! Brother! Thank you! You are such an inspiration for people like me who live and love electric guitar 🎸 🎵🎶🤘✌️

[@errflow]

Over the years I've listened to that solo maybe a thousand times. Certainly hundreds. You nailed it. Cheers.

[@nickdibart]

easily in the hundreds 😀

[@Tomtraubert2009]

In the practice....nearly, in the performance, no, a long way off. And yes, i've listened to it and played it hundreds of times myself.

[@RtroyD]

No he didnt

[@darkmotherboard272]

it was close

[@tehlion7430]

he played it differently to the original, he threw in a lot of his own licks particularly in the 1st half of the solo. honestly though creeping death isn't as challenging as playing the blackened solo live

[@1976oswald]

die die die die :) Nice to see young generations playing 80s songs :) Awesome !!!

[@eddiejr540]

WOW…the entire band sounded great and that singer was fantastic…well done👍

[@evangibeau4489]

Everything except that last part… way off key. That being said, the song probably is not in her range. Regardless, twas a cool performance.

[@dewardroy6531]

It’s a well developed talent to be able to scream musically. Kudos, little darling!

[@eddiejr540]

@@youWoNtLikeMe04 ….you get up there and do it!!!!

[@somedudeidk1]

not the singer

[@bcrox]

@@evangibeau4489 She turned around and saw the entire band standing like they were bored and it threw her off LOL

[@stoneysdead689]

This was Metallica's "Look how fast we can play" album- MOTP had lot of speed on it to- but they were starting to explore more melodic stuff, guitar harmonies, etc. It was really complex, not a simple album at all- Burton was a freakin' musical genius. We lost so much when we lost him like we did- it's maddening, Just think of what he could've contributed and where they could've gone had that wreck not happened. I love Newstead, he rocks, I'm not taking anything away from him- but Cliff was something completely unique and special and he was at the pinnacle of his abilities and skill when this happened- he had just found his flow with two really good albums back-to-back. Listen to Orion sometime- it will make you cry it's so gorgeous and has so much depth and feel to it. The band I play in has been trying to work that cover out for months now- it's unbelievably hard. By far the hardest thing we've ever tackled, and we play a lot of really tricky stuff. The first section is tough, but you can get through it- it's that second more melodic part and when they kick back in- Jesus man. There is so much going on in that song, and it's all harmonized perfectly- very tough to pull off.

[@ramskullcapital]

Great comment wrong album bro this was RTL⚡️💀 💺

[@darkscreengremlin]

Absolute monster to play that in a live setting. Love ya Tyler...I mean...love your content..

[@jimmygillard]

You have the same drop pedal as me. Love that droptech. I use it so I don't need a dozen guitars with different tuning.

[@althejazzman]

3:24 Love the way you adjusted the high gain the bypass button enabled!

[@kevron9664]

Bro.... How is it, that your live version is even nicer than your (already rather cool) "practice time" version....?? You stayed faithful, while adding some flair. I hope those kids appreciated what they had onstage with them, that night !!

[@wce74wce15]

thats awesome, great seeing the next generation rocking out some metallica, great video🤘

[@jacabo136]

I'm practicing the creeping death solo right now as well, and even though I still can't play it as well as Tyler can it makes me feel better that even he needs to fudge some of those super fast sixteenth note lines a bit lol.

[@Skwid-Lives]

I’m sure Kirk does the same live all the time.

[@GuitarProfessor]

Excellent! It looks like you had a blast!

[@THECALVINPIERCE]

Looks like that video from a few years ago where you learned the solo by ear has come in handy.

[@MK-6669]

Well done Tyler! There was even place for little wink at the singer during solo ;)

[@Skwid-Lives]

KZbin is simply the Ed Sullivan of today. You’re killing it. Awesome you play live too

[@christophersmith4391]

How about a shout out to the young dude playing leads as well. Talent all around!

[@toobcat24]

I've been playing guitar since freshman high school. Two years later, I started playing bass for my church and dropped guitar for a bit. Im now a freshman in college as of this comment. I have since picked up giutar again and bought a Les Paul. My rig is a Boss Me80 into a Mark Bass CMB blackline 101. My tone, whule steadily improving, sounds amazing for metal. I grew up listening to Metallica and other various Classic rock and metal bands, but I have since moved to Demon Hunter, some really heavy Christian metal, so my Les Paul is tuned to Drop B.

[@angelone1839]

Imagine Jason doing background vocals for her hahaha

[@RandysRides]

Very clean solo for a live performance. I still have problems doing the MOP solo...not the notes...just that cursed beat. hahaha !!

[@Stormofmetalmusic]

You should’ve played blackened

[@Stormofmetalmusic]

1st comment btw let’s goo I was here first!

[@Beatypatrockks]

@Stormofmetalmusic blackened was the one that came to my mind first too. creeping death isnt as easy as bell tolls or something but hardly their hardest

[@Stormofmetalmusic]

Hardest solo, he fixed it

[@MichaelTrentColvin]

❤

[@fasthands1631]

Making those poor kids play blackened would just be cruel

[@diogorenato]

whew!!!! wow, damn dude you rip! Nice job 🔥

[@ashleyfieldsmusic]

Dude. Great playing. You are the man.

[@jackconley1179]

Great Cover! You play beautifully! and the kids did great too!

[@JerryTheVeganRockstar]

Wow, that double lead fill at the end was perfect!

[@TNW84]

I love the green color on your guitar, man!

[@JoeyBagOdonuts.]

Been watching for awhile.. thanks for going through the pedals. I have a complete better understanding. I love the tone on that Heavy empress pedal. I'm gonna have to check that out..

[@odoherty9434]

Well done to you and the kids, this was soo great to see 🤟

[@jadalynt]

awesome to meet you!

[@Skeeterpfr]

You were right, it was really fast, but you killed it!

[@zaturnneo]

Awesome! One of these days, I shall be on that stage.

[@thesunilrock20]

You've been playing that green PRS for a very long time now! i've been wondering have you not had frets getting worn out? if so have you done a few refrets or is it stainless steel??

[@ryanmunn5848]

Best thing I've watched today , wicked!!!!

[@fesen2]

That is indeed a sweet solo and you did very well Tylerbaby!

[@aaronakers3095]

Awesome!! Creeping Death is one of my all time favorite Metallica songs!! I think Kirk wrote it when he was a teenager.

[@donrepcon7704]

Dude! You killed it!!!

[@FelipeEler]

Amazing performance... and inspiring to know that I'm not the only one to struggle with Metallica's fast stuff.

[@Brykk]

I just want you to know that you are the primary reason i got hooked on prs guitars. I was a fan before, but when you played on jared dines compilation video, i was completely enamored with that green prs of yours.

[@Cutehaas]

Well done mate 😎🎸

[@dewardroy6531]

Dang! The girl’s got pipes!

[@thenextkurt]

I love what School of Rock does. The movie was so important to me when I started out, and it's important for kids to be able to experience what it's really like to play live because that's not something we can just give ourselves without a Lot of work

[@cybermanne]

Epic! Love me some good old Metallica downpicking riffage!

[@lbarj]

And live straight to the ears, looks like you had a blast.

[@marcaustin]

that Empress Heavy pedal is SWEET

[@extrememike]

Great technique on that picking hand

[@jbbeaudry]

First song I played live after many many years was this one Open scene, virtually no sound check and just one amp with no pedals. A Mesa Boogie if I remember correctly; it sounded really good. I screwed up the solo big time. I didn’t hear myself and my bends went sharp on 2-3 occasions, just where it was crucial to get them right. But it was such fun and it gave me the courage to join a band again

[@johnnyeproductions]

Slayed it bro!

[@aidanroche710]

This was fantastic, as someone who did school of rock this would’ve blown my mind to be able to do! And also if you think the recording is fast, try Mexico City ‘94 or that time when James was pissed at Lars and absolutely shredded the song way faster than it should ever be😂

[@mogthegremlin]

Awesome video man!!

[@afurawrtv3566]

Absolutely Awesome.

[@cembellsteve]

Very nice!!!! You are the man!!!

[@widow10rr31]

Hearing creepy death live as an opener was literally the best opener song ever

[@WarofAges258]

Murdered that solo 🎉🎉🎉

[@rossdevin9799]

You ROCK dude, METALLICA IS THE GREATEST METAL BAND IN THE WORLD,no other band gives me goosebumps when I hear their music.

Very nice Tyler and band.

[@jacobherr6117]

Super unrelated but I’m from pa, I lay the cello in my high school orchestra (along with the guitar) we’ll be playing there in a couple months, we’re taking a field trip and playing a couple places. Anyways no one probably cares but I thought I’d share.

[@Flyit37075]

very cool thing you did, damn that was smoke on the guitar.

[@naesyelmuhc7698]

One of my favorite to sing! One of my second cassette of metalickers (killem all) it had 3 songs creeping death, am i evil and call of ktulu! That was back in 1985! Taylor, you should make a trip this next may and go to the sonic temple music festival in Columbus Ohio! Metalickers are headlining 2 nights (Friday/Sunday) totally different sets! Korn is Thursday and Linkin Park is headliner Saturday! I went 2 days this last year, Original Misfits and Pantera! Im gonna be VIP! But you best hurry and book rooms they go fast!

[@michaelpimenteljr3530]

Killed it! 👏👏

[@OceanofMaya]

Damn. I didn't realize Tyler could play that well TBH. Nice!

[@Thorgnor]

Hella awesome tomes! "Creeping Death" is a pretty challenging song to play, I find "Puppetz' to be an easier solo, but others' results will vary...

[@russellzauner]

I think when that young man grows up he's gonna be a big deal on the internet

[@travelwithjason999]

Awsum 🎉🎉🎉❤ great solo

[@JamesContos85]

The weight in the empress heavy pedal I feel like was working with the saturation of the distortion. Hard to say. Just made it sound dope on different ways lol.

All I can say is, DUDE YOU RIPPED THE SOLO. That empress pedal sounds really good I think I'll have to get one I know they're a bit pricey but that's okay They sound most excellent The mid-range sounds perfect! GOOD JOB 🤘🔥🤘
