The Black Dahlia Murder - Dean Attempts to Learn EP.29

[@HeadlessEikon]

Dean is slowly becoming the Bob Ross of guitar playing.

[@DeanLamb]

I gotta speed it up I guess

[@Arazmithin]

"And we're just going to add a little arpeggio, right there." He whispers at the fret board. Stroking it lightly up the scale.

No Afro though 🧐

[@drewharrito5705]

Hahaha! 100%

[@brendanscott8989]

brandon ellis has such a great and distinct style... the solo on sunless empire is probably one of the best metal solo's written in a long time

[@preythefox]

I agree 100%. Such a beautiful thing

[@davesevenstrings]

Don't forget he plays in Arsis. Band doesn't get enough love

[@TobyKBTY]

This. So much. Arsis is absolutely devastating, some of the sickest playing out there. They also have the ability to find players with incredible vibrato.

[@Jeffmetal42]

Arsis is top notch!

[@jjs8426]

That was the first band I thought of and then dean has to say cannabis corpse

[@gortrocityatl7943]

Yeah that was the band I thought he would say. Shoutout to Athens, GA. Go dawgs!!

[@tydendurler9574]

Hmmm, i own 4 Arsis Albums, none of them feature Brandon Ellis🤔

[@un-named7896]

BDM play in C standard.

[@domtavis4653]

@Terminator Terminatorovich haha thats what i was gunna say

[@branecollision]

@@vormund1011 Or use really light strings and tune the middle six up a half step.

[@grimblegromblethegnome]

@The Ivory Birchman 6 string for life!!

[@JUNK_ZONE]

I know for a fact that he has all of the notes in there. Why change tuning?

[@tomashcroft7024]

@Terminator Terminatorovich dude he can still tune down?

[@tyrbaldur5317]

Brandon Ellis has a sick guitar collection and his playing reminds me of 80's metal with a modern twist. Very cool.

[@nonlessvoid311]

If someone counts how many times Dean switches between pickups he or she should get a award from Dean!

[@johnbotelho3453]

Yeah I think he mentioned a free guitar 👀

[@M3tal_matt]

This is by far my favorite " dean attempts" video! Absolutly love the dahlia 🤘

[@DeanLamb]

🙏

[@lankeysob]

I would love to see Dean learn the opening sweeps in Vela Together We Await The Storm by The Human Abstract.

[@seanhazelton1571]

Old school

[@Remmy0930]

I wish I was able to learn by ear as easily as you do. Watching you learn make's me want to pick MY guitar up and learn something though, so that's definitely a good thing lol. It has to be EXTREMELY satisfying just being able to listen to something and play along without having to look up and stare at tabs. Much love though man, I'll definitely keep watching. 🖤

[@DeanLamb]

🙏 thanks!!

[@patrickmurphy2443]

Its almost as if he is one of the greatest guitar players of our generation

[@aynojs]

Yes, one of my favorite bands throughout the years👏👏👏

[@DeanLamb]

👌

[@XBlaqKrowX]

Oh man this content is amazing, I would LOVE to see you do this for the whole album :))

[@DeanLamb]

Yeah that'd be cool...

[@gnava7488]

You're probably my favorite guitarist rn ngl

[@LaurenAnne6]

The bit you worked on from 12:48 to 12:50 sounds like one of the measures of the vocal part from "La Sha Ch'io Pianga". Probably my favorite Italian song that I've performed.

[@Shredder-KJ]

Ya it's not easy to go by ear like that and a video . Great job

[@Cukes_]

It's awesome to see your process for by ear. It helps to know that it is indeed trial and error and you must fail to succeed. Thank you!

[@DeanLamb]

Yessss np

[@Emperor_Dolan]

I think Nightbringers was my favorite solo off of this album.

[@a-lexcatharsis9285]

You have such an incredibly pleasant voice, Dean. I should also listen to your videos if I can't fall asleep. You're just an awesome dude! ❤️

[@DeanLamb]

🙏

[@warhammer265]

YESSSSSSSSS! One of my favorite bands lol also, that KZbin slow down feature is how I learn most things haha that or I buy the album/song and use an app called AudioStretch to slow it/speed it up lol

[@DeanLamb]

Thanks!

[@jesuscontreras124]

Try some Ulcerate No solos, just riffin' shred at its best. Confronting Entropy or Chasm of Fire are both great.

[@lornaraine3570]

Sick dude. The black dahlia murder is one of my biggest influence in metal. All the guys are so funny and seem like very decent down to earth dudes.

[@DeanLamb]

Definitely dude

[@Shredder-KJ]

That guitar black and gold it's very sweet

[@justinburns8224]

FYI the google chrome transpose extension lets you set the video tempo and even time stamps to repeat certain sections for practicing

[@DeanLamb]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@zombiemachinery4868]

TBDM??? Hell yeah!

[@DeanLamb]

Yesssss

[@richardwilliams3497]

Why is this so entertaining. I already know how to play this but it’s fun to watch someone figure it out

[@MegaLaban12345]

Really cool to see your process when learning by ear!

[@DeanLamb]

Thanks!

[@naturallifestyletraining8177]

This is so cool song, riffs are amazing! Maybe you could do a riff video with Claire from this song also?

[@DeanLamb]

I'll ask ;)

[@pattol666]

talk me to sleep dean. this man should do soothing sleep podcasts for us all

[@leeloolevay]

Thank you for the video its always great to jam along and learn new stuff. I noticed in this video top string rumblings i dont know if you care or it bothers you or not but capoing the low strings your not using for playing solos . I do it with a six string capo on my 7 string cause i get even more frustrated when im trying to learn a solo and my a string keeps going bong and other strings are ringing out, its kinda like those Dickies sunblockers they dont work so dont use them.

[@treewisemenllc7281]

Nobody, touches his vibrato. It's so buttery smooth.

[@lamentis7066]

One of the tightest players on earth!

[@DeanLamb]

👌

[@patrickb2422]

Love the video and Brandon’s style. It’d be sick to see some older death metal lead stuff like Monstrosity or Carcass or Vital Remains on Dean Attempts To Learn.

[@DeanLamb]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@riff_junkie]

Please next time make a guitar lesson for nvoluntary doppelganger riff

[@DeanLamb]

👌

[@cptnspicywiener]

Dude I love BDM I clicked so fast

[@DeanLamb]

*breaks mouse*

[@billybob728]

KZbin playback speed can only adjust in increments of 0.25%, but there are video speed controller extensions for google chrome that you can adjust up or down by whatever you set it to, even fractions of a percent. very useful for building speed and by far the best tool for learning from KZbin videos!

[@nikhilt9671]

0s1r1s If you’re on a computer you can set a custom speed on youtube but i think you can only do increments of 0.05x and it doesn’t go lower than 0.25x

[@charanpradhan5511]

[@reubenready]

[@joshbyrns654]

I was simultaneously screaming which note it is while also being someone who used the tabs and still doesnt have it 100% down.

[@jeric7740]

Very impressive. Nice job!

[@DeanLamb]

🙏

[@gs970]

2:32 so I figured that I could probably get it down pretty quickly. As quickly as I check the video length from that moment lol

[@thumb_bass_guy]

Dean, as a teacher, what is your opinion on using tabs vs using only your ears/sheet music? Are tabs "cheating" in terms of truly learning the guitar?

[@alejandrocastellanos9046]

great to start developing hand positions and muscle memory but can turn into a crutch where you dont really know what notes you're playing, so besides doing that, focus a little time on discovering what you're actuallt playing and just listen carefully the dinamics between chords and notes, dinamics, etc. After that you can start training your ear slowly and just not use tabs anymore.

[@DeanLamb]

I think building both tab reading and ear training are important. One helps the other, strengthen both for ultimate benefits

[@dom3549]

this was really interesting as an intermediate guitarist (read: mediocre) going through the stages of hear-learning. Picked up a couple of tricks, thank you!

[@DeanLamb]

Glad to help

[@salads2706]

wow, don’t know how i went this long without knowing about your channel. Any chance of some VITRIOL stuff here? Super chaotic sound with their constant tremolo but live it’s so clean and executed well. Maybe a fever dream since it’s not what I would imagine difficult for you but still, its a fun watch!

[@DeanLamb]

🙏 thanks for the suggestion!

[@6idangle]

I like Brandon’s tremolo work he creates interesting sounds

[@DeanLamb]

Definitely

[@arconada]

Hmmmm, it would be nice so see you try to learn "A Diamond for Disease" from Arsis. There aren't many videos on youtube of people trying it

Saw them live at a one day mini festival that I'd gone to for Belphagor and Rotting Christ but they were actually one of the pleasant surprises of the day, great set. Also if you're looking for suggestions, Tunguska by Darkest Hour.

You should buy Transcribe! You can slow the song without fucking up the pitch, like KZbin does. Totally worth the 50 dollars.

50 DOLLARS?!? I think I'd be happier with the money ;)

As shitty as quarantine is, it has done wonders for my guitar playing and drawing. That being said being stuck in a house with other people has not helped with my vocal practice, at all. Nobody wants to hear that shit here haha

[@ryanmarshall5839]

Please learn a Symphony X song.

[@MaxBerson]

Does anybody else have trouble believing that a professional musician does so *little* to internalize the music he's trying to learn? When I'm working on new material, I always try to get it in my ears and my head before getting it in my fingers.

[@DeanLamb]

Wait what am I doing?

[@MaxBerson]

@@DeanLamb To be fair, you are completely outdoing me when it comes to putting your musical skills to work. Archspire is great, whereas I have never released so much as a B-side. So in spite of what I'm going to say, what you do clearly works. It seems like learning 2 seconds of music at time has a mechanical quality to it, like it's all a finger exercise. I often try to get familiar with the whole passage before picking up the guitar - tapping out the rhythm, learning to sing the line, feeling the overall contour. Once I have those aspects in my head, I can sometimes transcribe a big chunk without actually listening to the recording. Works for me, anyway. At the end of the day, my surprise is mostly to do with my preconceived notions of how professional musicians operate.
