Testament Eric Peterson 1

[@ShrednekK]

A guitarist that never gets the props he deserves, always stands in skolnicks shadow. You're awesome Eric, a true master of heavy music!

[@rutbuck121]

NONE of those Testament albums got written without Eric no question.

[@andysalter7192]

One of the best riff writers in metal history!!

[@6672rock]

I'm suprised he hasn't played more lead guitar on the Testament albums. That soloing in the beginning proves he's a competent lead guitarist.

[@blackfire696]

Eric Peterson is the man!...My favorite guitar player.

[@electriccrown82]

most underrated rhythym guitarist ever, testament rock!

[@Mike4metal]

Eric has Created many of the Iconic Bay Area Riffs of All Time!🤘🏻✨🔥

[@szerminator355]

Incredibly solid rhythmically. He perfectly fulfills his task in the band.🤘🤘

[@HetfielD69MetallicA]

i fucking love the way he holds his pick. so powerful. amazing guitar player. really underrated

[@IcedMaiden]

Underrated indeed - not unlike one of my other favorite guitarists, Criss Oliva (RIP).

[@m82a1light50cal]

What a machine! Respect!

[@Megadethfan92]

Man, he's an incredible guitarist. I still believe how many people underrate him.

[@Chingu-nm6wp]

This is really cool thanks for sharing

[@PaddyByrne931]

Super player and song/riff writer, long live Testament

[@wsaer56]

I love that riff from the persecuted wont forget. One of testaments greatest guitar riffs ever IMO.

[@larrybrown7273]

Eric Peterson Is One Of A Kind Everyone Loves Him

[@chunkydeath]

lol old Alameda Boy my mo was his 7th grade teacher . I remember going to his house on bay farm Island and jamming with him and Derick . Eric and Derick always together lol. Lipshoks says hello to you Eric many years but still we play music lol that's life right there .

[@jedimastergarcia87]

I like Eric Peterson now that I got to hear him play. His style is interesting. I love his Dean Old Skull V guitar too. I'm a big fan of Dean guitars. Getting a Dean EVO Special guitar for christmas and then letting my bro have my Dean V guitar.

[@Zyborggian]

HOLY SHIT THE BEST SONGS OFF THE ALBUM ARE ALL IN THIS VIDEO

[@DaddyTwoFoot]

He seems like such a nice guy, it's cool.

[@sacredgroovetube]

The first time I heard Eric I said he's playing the guitar to sound like drums. Now he is telling everybody that is exactly what he is doing.

[@sorinaco]

What a great playing! \m/

[@MichaelSeiler85]

eric peterson is the man!

[@chrls7Cantona]

Eric Peterson did a great job on his side band Dragonlord too...

[@Zyborggian]

I fucking love testament. Henchmen ride is just SOOOO groove driven..... favorite off the album besides the persecuted wont forget

[@BastarD]

[@LazyGamerMike]

henchmen ride is so sick!!!!

[@gabrielestirpe3741]

MB 756 sono stirpe Gabriele sei il primo chitarrista dei mie Chitarristi bravi sei il miglior chitarrista della storia del Rock e del metal ti amooooo

[@ShaneHarpo]

i was practically drooling during them riffs

[@KaitlynMullins]

You can hear the Skolnick influence in this.

[@UberBussell]

This guy is amazing... Testament are insane!! Does anybody have/know the Testament - More than meets the eye rhythm tabs?

[@negtype13]

I hung out with Eric a bit last Summer when they played the Beach. Really cool guy and FUCKIN' A has he really turned on his lead playing. No longer a kick ass rythm player but now a shredder as well!! AWESOME EROCK!!! \m/ \m/ \m/

[@hcraig28]

hell yeah!! i won one of those guitars from siriusxm radio.

[@rutbuck121]

Looks like Eric's been hitting the Yayo man

[@deathmatchunion]

F'N YA!!!! This is awesome!!!

[@ladiesman19100]

@electriccrown82 most underrated rythm guitarist most underreated guitarist period john 5 takes that crown

[@Hikikomori_ika]

That’s my uncle! 😎

[@SECONER1]

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWO ! ALEX AND ERICK ROCKS!

[@raulgonzalez6376]

Para mi gusto de los mejores

[@msanthrope]

Awesome!

[@motleysatriani6679]

keep rockin

[@TiANr0ckst4r]

F*ckk!!:0...He Plays So Effing Perfect Dude!!...And With Such Passion!!

[@oorcoov680]

I'll never forget the Trial By Fire intro

[@jongmagee]

eric needs to do some solos in these songs

[@JonnyRevenge]

He's in E-Flat. He was at our school the other day doing a clinic and someone asked.

[@JonnyRevenge]

Yes.

[@HurricaneTBag]

@electriccrown82 He was playing a few lead type stuff in there too...Testament's an extremely underrated band period, though.

[@GiorgiLobzhana]

In last albums he already plays solos. 40/60 with Alex.

[@dramius]

Im sure he was offered wood options when designing, but it might not be his priority or he might not figure most other guys give a hang. Alex was pretty into his woods on his Gibson, which I'd love to try. He wanted the heaviest mahogany, & thick necks! I'd love to have one of them... ;)

[@hawk6111]

I tried one of his sig guitars out a few times. I've spent about 4 hours with it. It rules, If it had 24 frets I would have bought it over the rr24

[@hawk6111]

+Jantes Inferno mainly I like the added string tension. it gives a more precussive tone and feel. I also don't think the neck pickup sounds better on a 22 fret guitar I think 22 frets make it sound muddy and flat.

[@troysmithfr]

Yngwie's music isn't impressive. Not bad, just not impressive. None of it is memorable.

[@AlexM1175]

@CthulhuKK iTS a fender evh van halen signature

[@shand006]

thats a good videos

[@Anfera236]

i like how he headbangs even though its just a lesson hehe

[@judas7206]

kickassss \m/

[@LambofPantera66]

he has a monster tone

[@wsrdtfvb]

fuck that intro solo was dope as fuck!!! sick!!!

[@あっつぁん-w2s]

神ですな

[@paulocruz1544]

Riff machine.

[@Metalheadddddd]

Fuck yeah i like Dean guitars so much

[@scottlouissmith2382]

❤

[@luvz2sploogeify]

lol hes playin this on a marshall mg15. sounds pretty damn good, then again eric could make any amp sound good

[@jasonpitts8395]

If I was the Lord of War, I would have Testament play behind my army as we walked into battle.

[@XESexperience]

thats some HEAVY PLAYING 02:50

[@tylerzipperer]

god he hits those strings hard loll

[@davidg1612]

Should've dialed back the delay so you could hear the riffs better.

[@osiris8605]

faster sure is important.....its fucken badass

[@Metalheadddddd]

It's about what you want to do mate

[@JonnyRevenge]

I don't know if he uses it in this video, but he uses the new EVH amp with some delay and that's pretty much it, haha.

[@killboxxy]

@caltrof Reverb, my young guitarist, reverb.

[@LazyGamerMike]

anyone no the american price of his signature guitar

[@JoJoQwenty]

@dmarins i agree with you on that they never made any shitty albums but metallica sells ticket no matter how bad there new releases are

[@EugeneBakman]

To the author - is there the second part of this video? 'Coz it says in the title "Testament Eric Peterson 1".

[@Noga36]

i never said "EVERYTHING BEFORE THE 80'S WAS STANDARD." tony iommi was playing is C# back in the day.

[@B0B0damonkey]

anyone know what tuning this is in

[@CthulhuKK]

Does anyone know what amp he's using?

[@luisdonoso7907]

🇨🇱🔥🇨🇱🔥🎵😊👑

[@ilikepieandfire]

fucking insane !!!

[@MajorPwnage96]

If you watched the video, it looks pretty good for shredding haha

[@RattleheadAnthony]

Testament has like, the baddest fucking players. :D Ericisabeast!!! :O

[@jasonpitts8395]

I am convinced the people with immense talent never ever get recognized for it. I doubt they care, but as fans, we do. Metal rules. Everything else sucks. 🤘

[@chapametal08]

he looks so tired in the video he might need to get some sleep LOL btw: awesome licks, he is in the same level than skolnick

[@Noga36]

earlier stuff was standard, just like the rest of the world. everyone started going Eb after, about mid 80's.

[@guitarplayer9253]

Fick yeah man

[@98723123]

how is that guitar for shredding?

[@caltrof]

I love his style. Too much delay on his tone otherwise awesome.

[@dmarins]

@donSparda in my opinion Metallica exists until the black album, after that is another band

[@TropianTV]

@dmarins I would have to disagree, because the big four are the bands who led the thrash metal movement. Testaments first album didnt come out until 1987. By that time, metallica was already a lot more popular and they were about to release their fourth album. Even though Testament has stayed true to thrash, i dont think they had as big of an impact on the world than Metallica.

[@StephenBrindleyOfficial]

what brand of amps does he use?

[@mikeyowen]

Stephen Brindley EVH 5150 lll

[@mikewatkins3533]

Eric wants to back to sleep. He tired. 😎🎸🎸

[@hawk6111]

Got enough Eco on that amp their Eric. Jesus Christ thats more than Paul baloffs vocals on bonded

[@StephenBrindleyOfficial]

the gatering is in D

[@fundamentalofhate]

so your saying that using your fingers to alternate is a bad idea all the time and you can't use it for any riffs at all? just wondering I figured i would ask somebody who would surely know. also I'm trying to teach myself music theory and i have a few questions if you don't mind my friend.

[@KoKaTa]

@funnyweirdo737 hahah you a pirate?!?!

[@antonio610]

0:27 That's the craziest alternate picking I ever saw. He uses no wrist whatsoever.

[@wsrdtfvb]

looks like a marshal in the background

[@EchoedTears]

where is the full adress?

[@laitela01]

Best American Swedish/Mexican guitarist ... ..lol

[@Shyuum]

What's E flat

[@sicblister]

i think he drank too much of red bull, he`s a little bit nervous and excited :D

[@sakowihe75]

holy shit when he tremolo picks, he uses his fingers, not his wrist

[@phillipolivas7619]

Great video! But it seems as if he has a bad case of the opiate itches!

[@funnyweirdo737]

eric fucking rocks and sooooooo hott but waz hotter back in 1995 but like i tolled u rockerz he is stel hott ....... ; ) I LOVE U ERIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
