Slayer - War Ensemble

I haven't tried playing this song in thirty years! Hahaha! Far from great but I'm glad I can still play it!

[@Krankaos1986]

Loving these slayer shorts bro! Keep ‘‘em coming!

[@louistorres]

Thanks brother! I haven't played these songs in thirty years! Hahaha! I'm sloppy as heck but it's fun to play them again! :)

[@papamurf7653]

Great album to jam along with. Sounds good 🤘🤘

[@louistorres]

Thanks brother! Such a great album with fun songs and riffs throughout.

[@joeyvanostrand3655]

Kick ass!

[@GravesoftheInnocent]

Awesome dude! 🤘

[@zyxwfish]

That riff on the 3rd fret is pretty tough. Sounding good \m/

[@louistorres]

That riff drives me crazy because it's a gallop then single note and back to gallop and single note again and again! Haha!! I literally had to practice it for 15 minutes slowly, just to create that muscle memory. I learned how to play this song 31 years ago, so I think my brain and fingers were like, "Bro, we totally remember playing this as a kid!" Hahaha!

[@zyxwfish]

@@louistorres same thing for me. I could play it back in high school. Today I can’t. I’d have to practice it a lot to get it down.

[@jeremyzumm9951]

Sounding good brother! 🤘

[@louistorres]

Thanks bro! Guys are like, "do you know any songs?" Haha! So now I'm trying to relearn old songs I knew thirty years ago. Lol!

Wicked!

I actually run through this one and spirit in black before I start on my own stuff.... always fun. I actually start off playing through the first 6 songs on Morbid Angel's Covenant so that by the time I hit these, it's like nothing to play. Another good challenge is to play Behind the Crooked Cross..... downpicked, all the way through..... after all that, you're a total rhythm machine and everything is in slow motion lol. What are some others oldies you like to play? It's so funny to call these oldies.......

[@louistorres]

No way! That's sick that you play that many songs as a warm-up but it makes sense! Now I have to try Crooked Cross and Spirit in Black!!! You are the man!

[@TheHouseofJunjun]

@@louistorres Well, when you're old and tryin to get back to where ya were years ago, ya gotta put in the extra work, especially since I want to start doing what all you guitar guys do, and not embarrass myself in the process lol. Besides, it's really only about 35 mins and I'm not a lead player so I'm good to go after that. Plus, I've really gotten back into playing all those old songs again because they are such a challenge and when you feel it starting to "click" again, it inspires you to keep going.....

Solo!

[@louistorres]

I would need a week to try and learn them again but when Seasons launched, I learned both solos to War Ensemble. Shockingly enough, they're actually fairly easy.

[@kurnage78]

@@louistorres cool! My brother and I have almost finished tracking Die By the Sword, I'd love you to have a listen

[@louistorres]

@@kurnage78 Die By The Sword is such a great song! Friend me on Instagram when you get the chance. @louistorres
