Steel Panther: "Death to All But Metal" Guitar Lesson

[@awakeningrlz]

"I almost get fired from Steel Panther one time, and then I reminded the guys that I started the band, so they can't fire me, it's pretty cool." LOL

[@ivyhallquist3159]

Me: *laughs in School Of Rock*

[@milomirsimonovic576]

This has to be Lars-reference

[@garthshark119]

I absolutely love the guys from Steel Panther, they're just having fun with what they do and you know what? That's what heavy metal is about. Enjoying the music and just having a blast while doing it.

[@branecollision]

I love how he's funny while still being able to teach the riffs and give advice.

[@HurricaneTBag]

"If I were James Hetfield...but I'm not that good" Awesome. This guy's the fucking man.

[@jye_24]

I love satchel sm but James Is my guy so seeing this made me very happy, Satchel has very amazing taste and is actually a very humble kind dude, he actually just loves music and musicians around him aswell, people forget even tho they are never serious there still people!

[@Maxx61]

Best youtube guitar comment ever by a player..."that sounds like an easy riff because I'm playing it killer." Pretty much sums it up.

[@stevegrierson]

This is really clean footage and looks brand new especially for an mid eighties guitar lesson

[@smiley0800]

This man is a legend. "thats sounds like an easy riff coz i'm playing it killer" LOL.

[@dibbo9264]

Steel panther is one of the worlds best heavy metal bands ever

[@danielolsen9034]

Almost

[@TheHalfordFreak]

love the sound of his guitar.....room filling !

[@bongowongowongo]

"If I was James Hetfield it would all be downpicked" I laughed so goddamn hard.

[@trowelarm]

Satchel is my new favourite guitar guru. The down- up technique has just transformed my playing! Awesome!

[@simone97123]

Russ great advice "start your own band then you won't get fired" A+

[@itsheavymetal]

haha.. came for the riffs.. stayed for the douchiness. Big Steel Panther fan, I like a lot the guitar sound in the albums and how good it is emulated here too, I'd like to know what the rig to that would be. "Death to all but metal (and internet, don't forget internet)"

"I've seen some kids doing it on one string and it's possible but it sounds cooler if you play it on 2 strings" LMFAO :D

[@JLiddle91]

Lmao i love when he says hes going to play it slow, then just completely takes the piss with it

[@smacman68]

My favorite line : "It' gone triple platnum, in parts of the Philipeans, not so much in the U.S." GOD, what a killer line! Kind of Spinal Tapish in it's own way. LOVE this band. In high school in '86 they would have fit right in.

[@johnreydelacruz7797]

"Triple Platinum in the Philippines, for illegal downloads." Hahaha, I'm from the Philippines and its funny. 😂😂😂

[@mrhollywood1]

This guy is a very tight guitar player when it comes to playin live shows. he is actually very good and has a great attitude bout rock n roll. support this guy

[@MyFatCatIsOld]

His tone and teaching is great!

[@danjacobs6496]

by far the most entertaining interview

[@dibbo9264]

Your awesome Satchel when I saw you & Rest of Steel Panther at The big top In Sydney Australia back in June it was amazing

[@tilestyles]

I like this guy's sense of humor. Thanks Satchel!

[@KillerShark73]

A+ for humor and attitude. Rock on good sir!!!

[@vaiman7777]

haha This was the best guitar vid I have watched in years. Great tone

[@IsnatchedUrHero]

man, do more of these! this guy is awesome!

[@shnookyx69]

@frtknokr the closer your fingers are, the less they have to move to hit other notes, it helps with speed and stuff. It also helps mute the other strings so they don't ring out unintentionally. It relates to what he says about playing the riff on 1 string vs 2, just faster, but yeah, it doesn't really help see what they're playing.

[@haydendraycott7897]

Wow Satchel you feel that down picking only is harder than alternate? I find it's usually the opposite with me...

[@kamcosmic]

playing a fast riff with only downpicks is alot harder than just going up down up down imo. (assuming you can alternate pick to begin with)

[@timothycirylhuntingtoniii3898]

He's mocking Jame's playing, its a known Metallica mock. Each person usually has a different thing difficult too

[@ThunderPantz01]

@@timothycirylhuntingtoniii3898 But you have to Down pick only to get that kind of Chug.

[@timothycirylhuntingtoniii3898]

@@ThunderPantz01 Freaky brah!! I'm actually watching Steel Panther right now on here haha!!!

[@drdrunk123]

"This is it real slow, Check this out." *Plays each note like, a second long.* "Yeah you get the picture."

[@sjcampbell]

I love it. That is the best guitar lesson ever.

[@TommyRoxx69]

I'VE LEARNED SO MUCH AS A DRUMMER, THANKS SATCH'

[@hairmetal04]

i wish i had the idea to start a band like steel panther earlier! lol, freakin love these guys!

[@lewis56405]

i am a bit jealous. as they just seem to be having the best time!! i think their appeal is based on the fact they really don't seem to take themselves seriously. at all. ever.

[@Greg_In_SoCal]

"It's like a classic metal, song and riff AND solo in parts of the Philippines..." So funny. Steel Panther is what the music industry has needed. Here are four very talented musicians, putting out great music and not taking themselves too seriously. They are having fun and many are having fun with them. I can't wait to see them in Vegas next month!!!

[@SavageListener]

Satchel was a G.I.T. instructor that is why he is so engaging with this lesson.

[@IoomiPerryMustaine]

Mock Rocker???? DUDE seriously, Satchel can tear it up!! he isn't mock, he's the real deal

[@extrememike]

Love this sound!

[@MetalMan73100]

You´re the man, Satchel!

[@eddieedmondson4746]

Satchel is an AMAZING guitarist! he has the chops kids.

[@Irishsnout]

I think my head just exploded from the awesomeness

[@GRAFHC]

LOL!!! Loving this! Also, wish I knew what his rig was in this video... incredible sound.

[@AlexJCThompson1992]

@09phillt you cant buy the same one cos his is an original 80's pacer but you can buy a re-issue for about £250 so thats probably $450ish if your across the pond Kramer Pacer Classic

[@spliffsperlunk]

"Get Drunk...Slop it up" LOL. ^Words to live by.

[@lol-zp1ps]

This riff is so easy when you play it slow, that this lesson is actually sarcastic. Love it. (Not saying if you can't play this riff you suck, but try playing it slow for a goddamn second lol)

[@HEADBANGBALLER]

I love this guy! He is, without a doubt, the last 80's Glam Metal holdout. His attitude and look are pure 80's. A good guitarist as well. Not great, but good. The lyrics to Panthers songs are pure fun. Long live Steel Panther!

[@vintagemetal]

Not great, but good??? Tha fuck??

[@powerserg8]

Man, Satchel is awesome, he's funny and like to joke around and he's also pretty damn good at the guitar.

[@Cozmosiz86]

best guitar lesson EVER!!!

[@GranDiaMusic]

for those who dont know, this guy was the guitarist of ROB HALFORD's band FIGHT, so he is as metal as it gets, he can play Metal, Glam, it dont matter he is great at all of it

[@firebird116]

your guitaring career, lol i love these guys

[@indecentjestertm]

Intro Sounds like sped up Live Wire by Mötley Crüe and I love it!

[@klausguitar2542]

really a great guitar riff!!!

[@kaboom6899]

Yeah Satchel you are awesome!

[@Lumdiyen]

@Ohwow979 Thanks, was actually considering getting a 5150 for awhile now.

[@surfertron20000]

@jswan1321 Yes, thats the idea, he isn't serious. They're a 'Mock' band.

[@magicjermaine98]

Fucking Google gave me the tab where the main riff is played on the E string instead of 2 strings lol, love this mini lesson tho

[@vidzaratm]

I was learning the song so hard atm my D string broke!

[@hc8272]

MY FORESKIN BROKE

[@mallorcasteve]

great !! I didnt know that Cindy Crawford plays guitar...awesome..

[@Harrysound]

I love this guy

[@MrSNESChalmers]

"Bitchin' riff, right?" crack up everytime

[@b0ssnak]

i reaally dig the sound! does anybody know something more about his gear?

[@shabbetta]

it's the most fantastic distortion that i've ever heard...

[@BrutalChick89]

he may be just messing but this is nearly the best lesson ever!

[@telecastersRthebest]

awesome. just awesome.

[@philgraves4998]

So many great riffs in this song love it! Sounds similar to Metallica Seek and Destroy and GnR Sweet Child then My Michelle to name a few!

[@OrangeMedal2]

Man i love these guys..this is hilarious!

[@BooxoBoo]

"I nearly got fired from steel panther once, but then i reminded the guys that i started the band..." XD awsome!

[@sixstringfretter]

@ChrisHaspeck No! The eighties are never over as long as we keep it alive with guys like Satchel and bands like Steel Panther. Long live big hair! Long live ripped fishnet shirts! Long live...well, you get the picture!

[@jadilus]

This guy is a completely legit guitar player. Look up some f his old stuff, his real name is Russ Parrish, he was even in a band with Paul Gilbert at one point in time and they covered a bunch of different tunes, pretty killer!

[@webeforyou]

This mans talent is soooooooooo underrated !!!!

[@stevew311]

These dudes can’t take anything seriously... and that’s effing awesome!

[@frtknokr]

@KrossPoison1 I wouldn't know that because I am a bass player and we only have to hit one string at a time with the left hand(as well as the right).

[@liys540]

verse riff just like into the void

[@88fanforlife]

@CiviC092 well they took the seek and destroy riff, if you listen to the song you can hear it

[@guitarplayer9626]

great guitar riff!

[@Claaaaaaaaws]

He use to be a guitar instructor.

[@mikenroses]

poor hetfield xD SATCHEL IS THE MAN! killer riff and solo!

[@wonfuego]

people making fun of him for the way he dresses haha.. Hes actually playing a character, because when hes not on stage or doing interviews hes not wearing that wig/make up or acting like a "rock star." its all an act, thats why i love it. and hes an awesome guitar player. Just listen to their last cd. Its hilarious, great sounding and all that good stuff.

[@MajorBruno]

@1666death Best part. That and the "Bitchin' riff right?".

[@jessereyna7408]

To each is own..been a Jackson fan for years..great guitars. Thanks anyways.

[@manilamaestro]

@Thehideby there are 90 million people in my country, my friend. Yes, surprisingly we fit in this tiny archipelago, haha

He is awesome.

[@vannibracher-l6r]

can this guys PLEASE do a dvd with some random lessons... I WANT BAD

[@BBOZ83]

@mistermoshpit101 then tell me an instance in a rhythm section where alternate picking sounds better, down picking is sharper and clearer but only sucks on your wrist and forearm stamina

[@krystok]

This guy is awesome.

[@dave-hro]

Such an easy riff and he feels so cool about it :) hilarious guy

[@lund3000]

This guy is not a douchebag, he just stays in character and his kinda a killer guitarist, lol.

[@chrizzy2k7]

@stevegrierson dude its 2010/2011 footage it is brand new

[@PabloZech]

This is funny awesome! And whats funnier is many people take this funny vid seriously as I read comments, haha!

[@UnclearPine2201]

People say hair metal isnt coming back but really go to Sweden they have TONS of sleaze aka hair metal bands, Crashdiet for one, killer band
