It's my birthday and Jamie brought the trivium jams ? Couldn't get any better thanks mate

[@JamieSlays]

Happy birthday mate!!!

@@JamieSlays thank you so much Jamie

[@ofekriffsolo]

Thank you so much for having me ❤️🤘

[@JamieSlays]

Thanks so much for shredding

[@vitorsantana1674]

The Deceived solo sounds like you are facing the final battle, being on the battlefield.

[@KillrBuckeye]

Yes! Awesome video! Everyone did an excellent job!

[@som8484]

Good grief, 13 years ago I started watching your stuff!

[@VictorUtanQ]

The legend himself!

[@JamieSlays]

Wooooo

[@garethllewellyn215]

Awesome...It was your videos that I used as references when I first picked up a guitar...actually the first song I learned was light to flies followed by ascendancy...friends said I was making a mistake starting with those , it was tedious but after months of repeating them it paid off ...you was a huge inspiration to me ..thanks

[@Foxywaterable]

Man I remember seeing that Gunshot video for the first time on MTV at a friends house. He just turned around and was like “dude they been soloing for like 10 minutes”

[@nishanth6403]

😂😂

[@jackharrisguitar]

Oh man - this came out so AWESOME!!! Thanks for letting me play a few licks! Everybody KILLED IT - including yourself Jamie, SO SICK!!

[@JamieSlays]

Thanks bro. Love the guitar

[@jasongreer8279]

So proud to have been asked to be a part of this. Everyone absolutely killed it. Thanks for having me!

[@unluckyxviiaudio]

This was a real fun one to mix, everyone involved did a sick job 👌 Such a great album!

[@DomicidalCovers]

Thanks for doing it! It was a blast to be included! I've only had a chance to listen on my phone quietly because I'm at work, but I have no doubt it'll sound awesome tomorrow through my monitors 👍🤘

[@AttilaVorosOfficial]

Happy to be the part of this fun collab! Hugs and congrats to Everyone involved in this project! Ciao!

[@JamieSlays]

Yayyyy ❤️

[@projectzed5766]

One of my mates did backing vocals on 'A Gunshot To The Head Of Trepidation'

[@loganpriest6029]

Is that after the solo when they do the gang vocals?

[@JoeBidensAdderall]

Trivium was and continues to be my favorite band for essentially the argument you make in this video. Inspired me to play guitar @12 haven’t stopped.

[@wesjames6060]

This album will always have a special place in my heart. When I was 16 my first vehicle was a beat to shit old minivan and the cd ejection didn't work so it was either this album or top 40 FM radio. I played it front to back countless times 🤘

[@Afflict8dGaming]

Well done everyone. Trivium is by far my favorite band. I couldn't ever pick a favorite album. They have such amazing riffs and solos on every album.

[@bwstraterz]

Awesome colab loved it, Dennis 8String melted my eyes 😂 Everybody played damn awesome

[@JamieSlays]

Yeah!!

[@Hekkin]

Sick job guys! Proud to be a part of this 🧡

[@MLong87]

Ascendancy is still one of, if not my absolute, favourite albums. This videos awesome, everyone did a killer job of these solos 🤘

[@benmurphy5203]

This is my favourite album of trivium. I'm a big fan of "a gunshot to the head of trepidation" . First solo I learnt was the "like light to flies" Corey part

[@Reeldrivenoutdoors]

Someone needs to tag Matt heafy in this, I bet he would get a kick 🤘🏼

[@JamieSlays]

I got someone to send it to him. I hope he watches

[@Reeldrivenoutdoors]

@@JamieSlays that’s awesome !! He lives right here in my city and is pretty active on social media so he should see this no problem. BTW your content is awesome and I watch it regularly for inspiration on riffs when feeling the need to spice things up lol

[@DomicidalCovers]

No thank YOU for asking me to be a part of this. I definitely had to make wands out of opeth! Great to see to playing more leads too man, keep up the grind and ofc I'll always help where I can. Everyone kicked total ass here. Can't wait to listen again when I'm not in work 🤣

[@jackharrisguitar]

Duuude you NAILED that solo - monster!! 🔥

[@DomicidalCovers]

@@jackharrisguitar Well I got most of the complex parts okay, but messed up simple slow bits(which is just typical for me). Literally about 2 seconds after you see me reach for the computer here I said "fucks sake!" because I wanted to nail everything hahah. Your picking hand is very clean dude, did a smashing job yourself.

[@DavidNwokoye]

5:10 THAT'S MY BOIII JARRIS

[@lordcerberus4894]

Great playing, from all! One of the most killer metal albums of all time, imo!

[@Arazmithin]

Awesome compilation, really well put together and tight playing by everyone. Jamie you look like you've been working out, or is it just me?!

[@JamieSlays]

I haven’t been haha! But I have lost a lot of weight :)

More like Jamie Slaps!! Love the video dude. My favorite song off ascendancy = The Deceived. Favorite solo = Pull Harder!

I really enjoyed watching you get your shred on a little more in this video. Nice job as always.

The whole album is still amazing. It’s always been my favorite. All these years later still listening to it.

Oh god not playing the chorus for like light to the flies is a sin!! But anyways phenomenal playing from everyone!!

[@sirjacob6878]

Good stuff. I think my favorite is your cruelty and the beast shirt. By far one of my favorite albums

[@nazdreg21]

sooo many memories, one of the albums that dominated my playlist for such a long time. About time it retook its right place. thanks for this

[@InfamouslyCantankerous]

Hey jaime great video. I love that you do these videos makes me nostalgic. I wanted to ask you. Obviously your a much more accomplished player then I'll ever be but what is your approach to learning different parts of songs. I'm sure alot of these songs you have practiced before but for the parts you dont know how do you break them down and commit them to your playing so quickly. Cause you put out alot of riff videos my dude. Anyways awesome playing to everyone on this video.

[@JamieSlays]

I use guitar pro :) I slow it down and play it repeatedly

[@InfamouslyCantankerous]

Awesome man. Great job.

[@nickwilschut5356]

the way that Pull harder breakdown hit... holy shit man awesome😂

[@joereyna614]

Fav song on that album had to be Like Light to the Flies. Great vid!!

Ascendancy is a such an important album to me. It was one of the biggest gateways into metal and instruments for me. Great video, Jamie.

[@juanmoreno6666]

Finally some respect on Triviums name. I don’t care what ppl think of Matt. He writes great music till this day. And you sir make great content. Makes me want to pick up my guitar and jam!

[@JamieSlays]

Thanks bro. He’s a big influence on my riff playing

[@euginchristo4396]

Hey guys, I have a question. I'm a beginner at guitar. What is that cloth like thing Jamie has on the top of his guitar next to his headstock?

[@JamieSlays]

Its a gruvgear fret wrap which stops any unwanted noise

[@euginchristo4396]

Thank you Jamie!

[@mojave9883]

This is why Ascendancy will always go down as a masterpiece.

Ascendancy is still my favourite album ever...and trivium are still my favourite band, their songs are just different and addictive to play.. B4mv, COB and trivium got me into metal and guitar .... Great job 👏

[@JustLiamK]

This video just shows how epic an album Ascendancy is for the guitar-work. IMO I don’t think Trivium have ever gotten close to this level with any of their other albums since. This is definitely my favourite! \m/

[@felipeozalmeida]

In The Court of The Dragon is a must listen. If you want something Ascendancy-like, check Crisis of Revelation. Lots of nostalgia around the song.

5 dislikes explains it all,great one my dude,rock on

Trivium are the future of metal. Ive been following those guys for like 10 years and they are getting better every new album. I'd put them next to metallica and all those big guys on the top.

Hi Jamie. Do you offer private guitar instruction? I would love to have a conversation offline about learning from you if so. I'm looking to learn Trivium songs and the structure behind them and finding it to be a challenge. Thank you.

[@charlesrocks]

This was one of the first albums I heard where I was actually pissed off because the band had way better songs than my band. Yes...I love Trivium. No doubt. But it was a big ole black pill for 21 year old me.

[@borisgut559]

Sadly many people won't even give it a chance because it's classified as metalcore

[@metaldeth166]

I honestly don't get why this genre gets so much hate.

[@zdude0124]

I always thought they were more death metal than metal core so when I show trivium to friends I tell them it's kinda like soilwork
