Trivium: 'In Waves' Video Lesson - "Forsake Not the Dream"

[@VersaillesYuki]

Corey's foughts: 0:00 "This is my guitar, my darling, my love... Jackson is love, Jackson is life..." 0:20 "Oh, the camera is running, time to wake up." 0:25 "Yeah, I need to talk some technical stuff now"

One of the most underrated songs on one of the most underrated/overhated trivium album

[@TheDevilAscendant]

+Andrew Mckay Genuinely didn't like this song particularly until I listened to this video. Those harmonies! :O

[@kotymccallister5150]

All of their songs are underrated lol

[@caiosouza7492]

This comment makes no sense

[@COYM_1908]

I have never heard any Trivium fan say anything negative about In Waves.

[@Toma4449]

@@COYM_1908 At the time of release, it wasn't really that well received by fans, mainly due to the fact that it had to follow up fucking Shogun. But as time went on with Vengeance Falls and Silence in the Snow released, In Waves was then more of a fan favorite if anything.

[@augustcampbell2375]

Trivium are one of the most inspiring bands in the world, at least for me. Such good song and riff writers.

[@EthanRom]

I don't play metal songs anymore like I used to, but one thing I know is that playing songs like this builds bromanship. It's just fun playing along with someone and doing it all perfectly in sync.

[@icarium23]

How could they not have chosen this song as their second single? Has that Ascendancy magic. Love it

[@TechnoticTV]

something about that bend that corey does at 2:33 is so satisfying

[@kirpelfrey]

The riffs in this song are more catchy than the actual lyrics. Trivium has a great way of doing that. The guitar part is usually more interesting than the full song itself.

[@lt.branwulfram4794]

When you forget the lyrics but the melody is stuck in your head ...

[@keenman0403]

I tend to sing the riffs instead of the lyrics sometimes

[@advaitpetiwale9596]

Especially the power chords in the beginning and on the chorus. They're so damn catchy.

[@Under-Kaoz]

Disagree, the guitar is definitely catchy. But "give me the strength to face what's in front of you, in front of me" has stuck with me since I heard it and plays in my head in many situations.

[@ChrisHelheim]

Those harmonies get me right in the feels...I really want to have an instrumental versions of their records. Damn, that would be so great ^^

@@brianmcalpine3948 The reason Matt records all the rhythms is solely to retain consistency in the tone. There are rhythm parts that Corey has written that Matt struggled to learn.

Been balking on buying In Waves because Shogun was so great. Maybe I will just bite the bullet and get it because this section is so cool. Thanks for posting. I love videos like this.

@MajorPonch you're right, i only heard 'the crusade'. i'd say feel/cachiness of the melody is important, but without other guy, their songs would be kind of boring... not that I know any of their songs. Could you suggest me some? I like melodic stuff.

[@ManifestPanda]

@Rafterman123 i play bass, and good basses are very low maintenance, like it crunchy? throw some new strings and a low level of gain on. like it smooth? wear out some roundwounds and boost the low end. I'm sure a guitarists mix can be a bitch when not running through a huge rig. but thanks for all the info you guys.

[@Ascendancy-]

because matt is humble. he will always say everyones better than him

[@Severe-Serenity]

You don't have to down pick that part. At least if its the one I'm thinking of; when I first learned it I did all down picking, but now find alternate to work out much better and still have a strong sound.

[@Pacminch]

I'm not sure if this goes for every song, but from what I've heard and played, Corey has better technique/skill compared to Matt's guitars. In my opinion, I believe Corey's solos and way of harmonizing them sound a lot better than Matt's.

[@Malice197]

Technically speaking, I would agree. He has precision, speed and feel that is phenomenal. That being said, Matt Heafy CAN shred like a son of a bitch, and has a far more dynamic sound in my opinion. I look at it as intensity vs passion. Without either of them, the sound would fall apart.

[@aleksiharju1407]

I do agree, but thats why i love Trivium. There are two distinct guitarrists playing solos. Like the other commenter replied. Over simplification would be: Technical skill vs. Musicality. Its not that plain obviously. Both of them are extremely good guitarrists!

[@felixbpunkt3007]

Aleksi Harju i think matt's most badass solo technique wise is "Torn between Skylla and Charybdis", i did not know he could shred that hard!

[@Kcgrade095]

+felix bpunkt That solo is amazing, didn't know it was him at first.

[@felixbpunkt3007]

please note that I mean the 2nd guitar solo after the bass solo, with the 6 string sweeps at the end, not the first one (wich is bad ass and over the top as well). by the way, imo the down from the sky solo is fucking amazing as well^^
