Tenacious D - The Metal Part 1

[@Fireguy65]

If this riff came out in the 80’s, this would be an all time great iconic riff!

[@shawnpaquette5835]

You mean it isn't an all time great iconic riff?

[@Fireguy65]

@@shawnpaquette5835 it is for me

[@spongeb27]

Doesn't matter when it came out, or shouldn't. I get that it does for many people which is why you made the comment, but it's an all time great riff as it is

[@jokerthajoker]

"Oh god, why did you stop?!" I love his enthusiasm for the song and riff even after hearing and playing it thousands of times !

[@lemlem35]

Best part of the whole video it never gets old

[@WhoDidYouSay]

That is one of the coolest riffs

[@catfishmusic6158]

2022 and I'm still watching this. Tenacious D will NEVER DIE

[@kempwood_foo]

I'm about to watch them in concert tonight! I'm so excited!!

[@mrnobodyouknow]

I played this for a music assessment at school a little while back and sped it up a little bit. Needless to say I got an A due to the awesomeness the Metal possesses

[@ThinlyCut90]

You can really appreciate just how awesome this song is by slowing it down and watching it.

[@icarus432hz9]

Can`t believe i just found this channel.

[@aazri29]

Same😂

[@dougsensei]

Honestly one of my favourite tenacious D songs

[@tlehman0001]

be a lot easier to learn if the camera would stay on the guitar, guys.

[@BeezerGutlr]

Thank god for playback speed

[@one8s7n]

One of my favorite songs to play! I'm glad I can learn the real way instead of the wrong tabs

[@Ceejles]

if kyle came to my house to give me private lessons my head would explode from his sheer epicosity XD

[@iggystardust9236]

I did not meeeeean. To blow your miiiiiind.

[@bpacheco801]

i actually taught myself this song a couple months ago. glad to see i'm playing it pretty accurately

[@jagaloon14]

Hearing Kyle doing the introduction narrative for the metal, keep this video in a museum please so 30 years from now I can be really happy and excited for a second please

[@Greynwolf]

Wow, I didn't know about this channel. You guys are great, especially KG.

[@AndrewJDJepson]

I'd take that private lesson deal. I'm a new guitar player and would die for the experience of being raised and mentored into the world of rock from... well... the greatest band ever

[@jaiwook63]

It has taken me to long to learn this most powerful of riffs...

[@coy303]

Dear KG, Kones, and JB, I can not wait till may 24th at the fox theater when i'm going to see my favorite band of all time ! Tenacious D is the reason i started playing guitar and your music has got me through alot of hard times. Without you guys i would probably not be the person i am today. HAIL TO THE D!

[@baadshepherd]

@Guitarings that is the single most truthful thing on the internet.

[@jacksfoodfilms]

Kyle Gas, the king of socks and sandals

[@StephNuggs]

Even the Germans won't fuck with him

[@fmills1583]

That is some heavy licks, most awesome.

[@brandonjmusic8107]

This song is so fun to play, covering it was a blast

[@TheMikelong87]

Hahaha...the beauty of getting baked and teaching riffs.

[@Forest__Spirit]

Dah dundun da na na nah - "whaaaat" 6:37 lmfao

[@FadedFew]

Hahaha, these lessons blow so much, but you guys are so FRAKING AWESOME

[@txicityy822]

*shreds* "yeah just do that kinda thing."

[@dexmakkina]

Hey Kyle Gass, long time fan and student of your music as well as the D, just found your channel and so glad I did! Keep it real, brother, one love.

[@kibagami25]

This is awesome. I subscribed because of this song. Will go back and watch the other videos :)

[@Guitarings]

@walt909 I haven't heard them yet, but maybe I'll try it out at NAMM this year!

[@GazVDS]

wicked! i got this part down need the next episode fast please!!!!!!

[@cmmusic292]

When John plays it slow, it's actually pretty easy to pick up on, you don't even need teaching.

[@derD3pp1]

@guilepro "Drop D" means basically that you tune the low E String 1 step down..So from E to D.

[@sazemsazem]

So glad, they've came back

[@Cpictures]

That riff is sooo much fun to play, thank you D

[@MrChicharo90]

@Guitarings Please make a D tour in Mexico we'd love to see you here in Monterrey :D

[@Guitarings]

@Musicgirl82 great! Be sure to post it to our facebook page when you do! We're looking forward to seeing it!

[@pardonme2574]

When he said the metal I felt that

[@Xa3rio]

this channel is alive! god damn i missed those tasty tenacious d licks! Gonna learn this right now (although in drop c# since im too lazy to change the setup ;p ) Thank you guys for teaching us, it's always great for a guitar player to learn their favorite songs straight from the hand of the creators ;p

[@pierrelevtchenko]

i watched it a couple times and picked it up just fine

[@gunsnrev0lver]

Killer sound there Mr. Konesky!

[@rungesmith]

this band is a perfect example of why anyone can make it in music these guys are the most unprofessinal band ever and yet they kick ass! haha rock on guys!

[@AlexPlatacis]

Love the socks and sandals. Are those Rainbow Sandals? If not, I am sure we can get you some sandals for you if you guys come down to San Clemente for an acoustic thing for your next Guitarings video. You can film it right at the store. Let me know I will work out the details for you.

[@kenny312162]

How can you not be a fan?

[@aquaagu2]

Fox Theater in Detroit?! I knew they were coming here to Michigan on July 6th but I didn't know that they were coming on May 24th! That's fucking awesome haha

[@barfonhim]

Awesome channel and good call on playing the hole riff : )

[@alexandersalazar7638]

thanks for teaching this song is great!

[@GuilhermeTB1]

This is so much easier than I thought it was gonna be.

[@MohamedElHanoun]

2023 and still my best metal Riff 🎸❤️ By the way U don’t have to use drop D just Standard Tuning Works Too all u have to do play 6th string Open it’s the same note

[@bsd0432]

La sexta cuerda va afinada en Re ,the six string is in D tuning

[@natevonhartleben2737]

It's too bad these guys aren't very good teachers, because the riffs are some of the most amazing riffs in the history of many kind! They look fun as hell to play too! But it's so good, and they seem to have so much fun playing that I really enjoy watching these even though I can't seem to understand with them teaching lol.

[@Lejundairy]

Nate Von Hartleben Here's at tab for it; tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/t/tenacious_d/metal_ver9_tab.htm

[@davelightman]

+Lejundairy Nice one!

[@roterfuchs8201]

their bifftered out their nuts

[@Bmxicano2]

Yeah these lessons aren't for beginners. They dont teach the songs note by note. but if you have some experience you can make out what they play by looking at the position of their hand on the fretboard.

[@marioman1157]

your back? YES!

[@TheTojocat]

haha, i would love to hang out with KG

[@Guitarings]

@SixSidedVlogs I do.

[@C_L_W_N_W_R_L_D]

I think i find the Holy Grail of Guitar Lesssons on KZbin!! John Konesky is awesome.. i really like his guitar playing!!!

[@Jurianug]

@erorocknroll Sabés afinar la guitarra? Si es así esta es la forma mas simple: bajá el tono de la 6ta cuerda (la que está mas arriba del todo cuando tocás) usando la clavija, hasta que tocandola en el 7mo traste suene igual que la cuerda que está mas abajo. Si haces esto te va a quedar como está en el video.

[@SlugNation]

Hey guys I downloaded the video and watched in in slow motion. Heres the tab: 6th string: 2bar/5bar pulloff thing 5th string: 320202320 6th string: 2bar/5bar pulloff thing 5th string: 3202 6th string: 3bar 5th string: 532320202320 Hope this is right and helps! Thumbs up so people can see this!

[@MK18aficionado]

Kones has two of those guitars!?! I want one!!!

[@joeyboogenz]

Definitely an old school Mockingbird.Probably early 80's,when they were very high quality.They used Hawaiian koa wood on most of the ones I have seen. Reminds me of Joe Perry guitar

[@eightleggedfreaks161]

fucking love tenacious d!!! learnt the first part of the metal in 5 minutes!! cheers cant wait for the other lessons to come out!!

[@THB_Woods]

Phoenix, AZ baby

[@seekingsomethingshamanic]

I have never been more tempted to challenge a band. We have 3 couches and large bongs. We need taught how to properly jam among rock gods

[@nicknack2673]

this riff is sooo sickkk

[@celestegrijalva1050]

Since it's too fast , you guys can go to the options on the video and click the playback speed and slow it down

[@Holybeer]

@erorocknroll it's drop D It means : DADGBE

[@KramerdeGamer]

YEAH!!NEW VIDEO!!!!!!!!

[@RhyssLightning]

when could we expect the new D album! will you unveil some new songs on your support tour with foo fighters in australia at the end of the year??? will there be some tutorials for the new songs, or even some snippets or instrumental only tracks that play in the background as some lil golden nuggets of goodness deep fried to perfection and served with the finest selection of sauces to quench our hunger for asshole blowing rock!!!

[@csSpetzNaz]

1:53 helpful tool :)

[@MaxiMusterfrau]

I Want The New Album..plleeeeeaaaassseeee

[@theperformingguy112]

@TheWonderRob An awesome guitar

[@pissing7in7the7wind]

hahaha love knife you rule kyle you needa make more episodes.

[@Antayn]

Haha holy shit, yeah Kyle, come to Sweden, Stockholm and I'll jam with ya ;) Been playing your songs live a couple of times :)

[@Theart182]

@erorocknroll Tenes que agarrar un afinador electrico y bajar la 6 cuerda que en el standard es una E a una D o sino podes cambiarlo a oido pero no te va a quedar tan preciso como si usaras el afinador

[@YoCrunchiness]

Hmm, John's middle finger bends a little backwards at the tip joint when he frets a note. I do that with my ring finger sometimes but I've never seen it with a middle finger.

[@Benjamin-vx2ot]

@06:13 so he plays two notes with one time stroking?? how?!

[@ZeliZeleny]

Cool lesson, lots of fun :) Neeeeew waaaaaaaawe :D :D :D Thanks guys! :)

[@nachos401]

I love Kyle he is so fucking passionate hahaha, come fly out to Australia Konesky, kage and jables!!

[@SuperUnit09]

this riff is so fucking awesome!

[@wattsonthetube]

I had to slow the video down to follow the riff, but I also got the added bonus of watching the stoner stoner edition :P

[@Guitarings]

@XxTequilaahxX Marty rules!!!! We love MARTY!

[@Metaljesuslol]

[@lLostGems]

John, what kind of humbuckers are on your guitar? they sound badass dude

[@NikoLibertyJoker]

[@JohnsonIbanez]

Tenacious D must visit Belgium!!!!! And Kyle... you must sign my guitar!! It's because you guys i started playing guitar 4 years ago. i can honestly say that i am one of your biggest fans living in Belgium. so get your asses over here >:D

[@Orionspackle]

LOVELY.

[@Guitarings]

@DisposableHeros423 Any pedal that has a lot of gain.

[@StephNuggs]

3:00 Tool

[@GuitarRocker2008]

I need to get way beter at guitar before attempting this and also HOW AWESOME IS THE METAL PLAYED SLOWLY it like gets 10x more EPIC

[@JayZoop]

I recently realized you always got to play with style/flavor to play good.

[@CyprinusCarpioDiem]

Dear rage Kage, I am a Kage mage. And as such; devoted to d worship and such, I made my 70 year old grandmother go to the opening night of the pod

[@justkevkev]

You need to come to Germany! We want you here!

[@MCTVARG]

please master exploder for the harmonized parts

[@llAgent-Foxll]

[@checkout555]

You guys Rock!By th way,could you guys teach us how to play Kielbasa?Plz:D

[@Guitarings]

@Musicgirl82 Can we see a video of that!

[@SubRedux]

i bought the tenacious D and the POD guitar book and this song was done completely different...

[@LetsplayIndieGamesChannel]

you guys are TOO awesome! and i have very important questions to ask you guys. WHY did you insert the pyramid and the EYE in your movie ?? or better formulated "WHO TOLD YOU GUYS TO ADD IT!" ?? Is your movie more than just comedy ? is it telling us your TRUE story? youre true fight against the DEVIL aka the music industrie ??? these questions are driving me nuts!

[@Albeit_Jordan]

Why didn't Kyle take the opportunity to call his band, KGB, KGP? Kyle Gass Project! It's got some pretty breakthrough shit on it!

[@Jeans11234567]

COME TO DENMARK AND BRING JACK!!!!

[@Theart182]

@erorocknroll mira es facil, cuando te dicen que es en drop D lo que tenes que hacer es bajar la 6 cuerda un tono. Entonces te quedaria DADGBE ;)

[@Teletha]

tabs where?

[@OhMyRoystone]

Dudes, why have You never been in Poland? We're waiting, blow up our stage!
