Sick Riffs #56: Rob Caggiano teaches you how to play Volbeat's Leviathan

[@danielrey3543]

This guy is such a beast live. I appreciate this

[@elibebout7951]

I can second this! If they weren’t having fun they sure did a good job making it look like they were!

[@Erodenmark]

His also a beast to watch now. Got no idea about guitars but 12 min in by now and its pure awesome. Just wanna hear him play. fucking awesome to see and listen to! +10 for the hat :)

[@daviddeakin7414]

I've gotta be honest i discovered volbeat during lockdown and been obsessed ever since. Efin awesome!

[@timriseborough8807]

Me too mate. I heard a couple of their songs come up on a random spotify playlist. I looked into them and have been playing them non stop. 🤘🤘

[@jacobdaugherty5336]

Check out Mario Jane Kelly by Vol

[@MichaelD8393]

I discovered them back in 2014 when I first heard _Lola Montez_ and I've been hooked ever since. Welcome to the Guitar Gangsters (that’s my unofficial name for Volbeat's fanbase.)

[@rebeccadrum3137]

Jacob. About time, hun....😉VOLBEAT ROCKS! I was presented Volbeat 3-4 years ago by my ex... My kids dad... Since then I haven't missed one single concert when they are here in Norway 🇳🇴. I f you haven't seen them live in concert, that Has to be your next goal. I can't wait til they come back to Norway. But most of all, I would LOOOOVE to see them in Copenhagen, Denmark.... That, I can imagine will be the best live performance ever. Their home base... 😎🎼🎤🎸🤩. ROCK ON WITH VOLBEAT! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[@rebeccadrum3137]

@@jacobdaugherty5336 That was one of my first fav songs by Volbeat, actually. I LOVE Mary Jane.... Just LOVE IT! ❤️

[@shanearmstrong7476]

OMG. This is sick. Huge fan. I love when great guitarists share knowledge of respect to the music he stands behind.

[@Hydrophish]

Rob is an amazing guitar player and producer.

[@russconklin737]

Rob is an amazing guitarist. The level of detail and enthusiasm he showed during the video was exceptional. Volbeat is the best rock band playing today.

[@skh1825]

I appreciate how Rob has the speaking volume and amp volume at the same level. Usually you have to turn it up to hear them talk then turn it down while they're playing.

[@gib59er56]

After he talks he swithes the toggle switch that shuts it down. No volume nonsense if ya wanna call it nonsense.

[@davetruslow1695]

KISS poster in the background. Love it!

[@jeffbear3075]

He has taste.KISS may not have been a very technical band.But.Some classic stuff still.Just ask Rob!

[@gib59er56]

A true New Yorker.

[@francobarberis3126]

Wow! He's actually telling you the note he's hitting instead of the string and fret. Awesome guitarist.

[@lookmanostrings]

Most musicians talk like that, because that's how you communicate to other players: "this is in E, and the chorus we go to F#" etc etc. It's the KZbinrs that are teaching people with zero theory/note knowledge, that talk like this: "Ok, 3rd string, 4th fret". LOL.

[@griffa00]

@@lookmanostrings Most tutorials are aimed at beginners/intermediate players who most likely don't have the all the notes memorized, thus making calling out the string and fret a much more effective method

I just saw Volbeat live for the first time... Rob is an absolute monster guitar player!

[@polishgoblin9779]

Would love to be his neighbor! Imagine hearing him practice all the time. Pure gold!

[@rafa_v1.0]

Tons of respect for Rob, Volbeat became a lot better band when he became a permanent member!!

[@alaysiakayebutler6299]

Exactly my sentiments, and it's made the music world a much better place

[@sannabenedictejohansen5939]

And now he is leaving 😭💔

[@TheSpacekrieger]

This is awesome! Great to see how he enjoys himself playing, even if it's not in front of thousands of people :D I wish there were more of these

[@shane1v]

That chorus just sits in a perfect place, love it. What a voice, what cool riffs and chord arrangement...

[@Louisejames23]

I love this song! He’s such a nice guy too, seen them twice & can’t wait to see them again 🤟😬❤️

[@MatheusDiCredico]

Thank you very much, Mr. Rob!

[@streicherPRIV]

Roberts seems like he would be the coolest guitar teacher ever, really catchy and energetic with all the gestures and head movement.

[@LucasMastropasqua]

Just saw these guys last night! What an amazing show! Something about the riffs and songs is like mean as fuck and feel good music at the same time! One of my all time favorite bands!

[@juschblack8843]

Volbeat ist einfach die Tollste Band, und diese Riffs sind mega Krass👌🤘

[@joachimprosch8199]

Da hast du recht! 👌

[@uncoiledmarrow]

My absolute favorite song, love everything about it.

[@nathanwalsh3028]

I love your work with Volbeat but I must thank you very much for lighting the fire under Anthrax many years back. Charlie said you were one of the people that were instrumental in getting him to play aggressive again. Thx pimp!!!

[@genereynoldsakayoda5815]

Rob still kicking ass !!!!!!! Shaking out the hands, wiping the sweat means your not on stage enough. Stay healthy, stay safe.

[@ArilJo]

I was going to the concert i Bergen NO in June 2020,when this video was posted.That concert was ofcourse postponed until June 2021.Now postponed til June 2022 and I am so looking foreward to this.And now I can tell my friends how to play that song on guitar.....Can't wait :-)

[@daviddonahue81]

I just saw them in atlanta Small theater it was fantastic.i as well play guitar. His lesson now gives me the right way to play it. Do much fun to play thank you rob for the lesson as well the person you are . Ill see you guys in feb

[@volbeatrules6528]

Thanks brother! Can’t wait till you guys get out again! Was going to be at Independence Mo show but alas, Corona 😢 Come to Wichita!!!! We got a new ballpark that needs a killer show!

[@matthewdempsey3591]

You had inspired me to pick up my guitar again. Thank you.

[@matthewdempsey3591]

Going to have to get just for men beard color too lol. Think he just a touch older then me lol. Looks good go. Rock on brother

[@GenericSCOOTZ]

Me too. Love it.

[@johnharris3117]

He even mentioned Thin Lizzy!!! He has roots, not to mention he is actually saying the note he's playing.

[@ronniecoffey9945]

Damn that purple Jackson is Sweet, Rob thx for these lessons, your a great player, keep on Grinding !! can't wait to see you guys on the Road

Only just discovered volbeat, love the band......👍👍

[@inrewts3936]

Love the guitar!!! Looks insane! 🤘🏼

[@jeffbear3075]

Right?A Jackson! Keeps going out of tune though. :- (

[@Stevenc284]

Seems like he has a great passion for what he does. Very under rated and looks like he has a lot of fun playing guitar

[@alaysiakayebutler6299]

It's in his blood. His dad was a highly regarded classical singer, I believe

[@jessemoz848]

I saw them play at Aftershock here in Sacramento in October, this is the most professional sounding band I've ever heard, he killed it that night 🤘

[@alaysiakayebutler6299]

You are so blessed, lucky!! You carry that resonance now, cuz you took it in deep, eh?? 👍💗

[@russellmusictv4403]

It was great having Rob guest appear on our record back in 2009! Eddie Wohl days.

[@rebeccadrum3137]

Wow. Must have been memorable!....Rock on!.

[@jamestunedflat8942]

Volbeat is a truly inspired band, but seeing amazing musicians teach their own songs is rather eye opening. They teach it as if you're already a trained musician. I'm still on 3 5 7 there's no way I'd pass a music school entrance exam.

[@colin7253]

Awesome , Love your playing.

[@landofodin]

He's so cool. What good dude.

[@rebeccadrum3137]

YUP! He seems like a really GOOD dude....soulwise..... Not many left of them, in todays society. He seems to be one of the rear kind, don't he?....Rock on!

[@volbeatrules6528]

Yesterday was a stellar day, I take my son to baseball practice and when we get in my truck Leviathan is playing 🤘When practice is over and we get in my truck, Hangman’s Body Count is playing 🤘Are you kidding me, somebody is living right,,,, must be my kid!

Thanks for the video :)

[@rebeccadrum3137]

I have seen this video over and over and over and..... You know what I mean, I suspect 😂😂😂 I totally love how specific he is when explaining. He would absolutely be a great guitar teacher for my 11 year old son. My son have been ALL Guitar , espesially AC/DC, since he wore diapers... 😂 😂 😂. Now he take classes to learn, but I know he has stage fright, unfortunately. I SO hope he get over it, cuz the guitar 🎸 teacher even brags of him. I know now he's got talent. Could you imagine Rob Caggiano teaching him???? Wow... That Wold just have been AWESOME! 👍❤️😊

[@strivingx67]

The lesson is great. The song is BAD ASS. This is new to me. But I just fell in love. Great melodic stuff, just wish that great solo was a bit longer (it's just a tease lol). Thanks for this upload GW. BTW +1 for the KISS poster on the wall! :-) Will checking these guys out.

Seriously? I LOVE their sound.Thick.Beefy.Crunchy. Listen to Mr.Speed on Rock and Roll Over by KISS.Rob likes KISS and I totally hear it in Volbeat songs.As well as MANY other bands and guitarists.

[@thethomasj1795]

That was fun!

[@TheMidgardViking]

What's the pedal called that makes the "crazy" sound mentioned around 20:04? He calls it one of his crazy pedals. My guess is some sort of a gate effect pedal, possibly similar to what the Boss BF-3 flanger can do on Gate mode. If he is using something else, I'd love to know what it is. It's such a sick sound!

[@shuggabizkit3269]

[@acommon]

How the heck do you downpick so much without getting tired?

[@ggbbddmm]

Practice??

[@Ottophil]

Jam metallica songs for years. Learning master of puppets note for note and practicing it for a decade did the trick for me. Good luck!

[@justanotherguitarplayer9767]

^^Practice. It has to be your style though too.. You can't be one of those down up down up down up alternate picking types... If you are, it's a bit harder to do imo.

[@thecuttingforce]

My favorite on this album. The God zila or aquaman them song.. that's how I see here it..

[@lordberly]

Rob "Riffmeister" Caggiano

[@Mac-td7lt]

Amazing how you guys use major keys and can still keep it heavy.

[@TheMsaprilove]

I’m not a novice or beginner or anything near considered guitar player but I’m dying to learn this song via electric guitar…
