[@edinguitar]

Schuldiner style of composing and playing is so inspirinig even today. I really cant decide which album I like the most. Every Album has something special about it.

[@JamesJones-i2v]

I couldn't decide either, until I heard Human.

[@puganarquista]

​@@JamesJones-i2vbut then i hear symbolic, and then scream bloody gore. I just cant decide

[@joeswansonanator]

Chuck was so good in conposing songs that it overshadows his incredible technical ability to me. Like I keep forgetting how virtuosic he is because his songs are so well written.

[@Plebanian]

Crystal mountain is an absolute masterpiece of composition.

[@ashleyapter9100]

Symbolic and the sound of perseverance freak me out more than any other music Chuck's pretty much my hero

[@JohnDoe-fz7hz]

Awesome Video! We surely lost a Giant with Chuck and sadly not enough people even know about what an excellent musician he was.

[@socialgarbage2]

Chuck had more influence on my guitar playing than any other player out there. Such a great guy, and he is sorely missed!

[@VARVIS_]

Great video man thanks for the shout out 👍👍 cant believe YT never recommended me this until now. Learned lots from this RIP CHUCK

[@janrrozmzz]

13 years ago i was 18, those days were hard, then i got the symbolic and heard Perennial Quest, at that moment i felt Chuck like an older brother who embraced me and gave me support. This band goes beyond metal, i love it.

[@Not-Badger]

Thats how i felt when i heard voice of the soul 4 years ago

[@hessianmusicdealer]

Same man. Symbolic as a whole is the best death metal album of all time

[@mylovesongs2429]

Chuck was a metal genius! His guitar prowess was of ELITE status! It is ironic he played death metal, as he loved life, and loved people, and animals. What a cruel move by the fates to cut his life on earth short. His legacy will live on as long as we love metal, and love insanely heavy guitar riffs and licks. May he forever RIP. 🙏💔😢🎸

[@ZoSosc]

So fun story, My sister had to coreograph and dance as set of her sienor perfomance in colleged and Her song choice was Voice of the Soul

[@NikolaosMargaris]

Several afternoons and nights at high school were spent to play his songs in guitar! His music gave me strength and fun at those years! We miss him a lot!

[@davidlambert5123]

Chuck was awesome. Amazing guitar player, & really good & kind person. I always liked how down to earth he was.

[@charliemackenzie2485]

Til I saw him live never realized he played solos without pinky, power chords with

[@ryonmurphy3797]

Incredible video, very underrated youtuber

[@dope1258]

There's something special about voice of the soul. I have tears of joy every time I hear it.

[@IanAberbach]

Ill never meet Chuck , I was only 3 when he passed yet Death has to be one of the bands that consistently brings tears to my eyes. I love all sorts of heavy music but no one has been able to combine brutality , beauty , and emotion quite like Chuck. RIP

[@mathewbuendia1038]

He's too nice and humble. He is one of the grandfathers of death metal

[@jonathanhathaway7796]

I'm not really into metal, but I appreciate originality, and when I first heard a cassette of Death in the late 80's I thought it was very original. I've introduced a lot of my students to his work over the years. I didn't know he had passed. RIP

[@AnwarAnwar-dm2id]

Chuck is one in a kind , his legacy will last forever as a musician and as a human being ..he's really missed after all these years ...please keep posting and exchanging about Chuck at least for his memory and the impact he left in all of us .

[@beatlejuice5951]

Would love to see a Morbid Angel one of these. Nice video 🤟

[@antares4975]

i thought about morbid angel too at "he's one of the nicest guys in metal". I remember David Vincent and Sepultura in general, they said, "you guys look really nice and handsome for metal", so Max became ugly and David Vincent went with this extreme evil and satanic thing. Media really fucked it up back in the day, when they was trying to popstarize it's bands.

[@beatlejuice5951]

@antares4975 a Morbid Angel video like this would be amazing man.

[@therealeikichionizuka]

it always impresses me how so many influential musicians had little to no music theory knowledge

[@crabbuckets7506]

I found you through Varvis. Love how you guys break it down 👍

[@carmonaragorn]

estos locos vinieron a tocar al local del colocolo cerca de la alameda de santiago. invité a mi cumpah metalero de niñez, mas nos llamó la atención que Chuck era del todo una niña, feliz de tocar death metal para nosotros perlas de chile. We ain't gonna forget u nevah.

[@derekklass]

Great video, subbed. I like your style a lot. Chuck was incredible, taken from us too soon

[@soundofindividual]

Death's discography is special because every album is so different than it's predecessor. In a good way. On debut album Chuck plays all guitars and bass himself. After that theres a new second guitar player on every album. My fave guitarists are Murphy and LaRocque. Best band of alltime 🤘🏼

[@sergeriemichael4492]

Guy never stop création

[@Cinder.]

The amount of effort put into this video is amazing

[@Leviathan-nh9lm]

Amazing video helped me a lot with my music writing 🙏🙏

[@sergeriemichael4492]

Tanks you hello from Québec

[@donquique1]

His jazz influences came from the sadus members that played in his albums. They were experimenting with jazz listening to maravishnu orchestra and brought that to death. Chuck gave them free reign to do their thing.

[@carmonaragorn]

"u are missed" best yutub video i've seen in years. Thanks. I concur abysmally.

[@MercutioUK2006]

This is completely fantastic, not quite sure how I missed the video but I'm glad I found it today. Well done on a great presentation with some valuable insights.

[@Zaakarr]

Trapped in a corner is the best track on ITP and andy laroque from King Diamond is incredible and underrated guitarist

[@periachi4961]

Bro posts a video on Randy and follows it with another one of my favorite players. Love the content and keep it up!

[@menkeroriental]

Amazing! Thanks for sharing!

[@vorpalblades]

Chuck was way ahead of the curve.

[@michael-tx8rw]

super informative, thank you! ALl of Death's music is so smooth sounding and repeatable

[@roieblanero6279]

This video is just great, such a good analysis

[@Kriegter]

just found this channel bro this is perfect

[@dBoogieNights]

ou have very little musical education. Chuck's compositions are written/recorded in Emin!!! this is how they are correctly displayed on the sheet music. guitarists playing his music would have read it in Emin! but...The sound of the guitar is transposed to a tone lower. this is how D sounds, but it is called and written as E.

[@GothicXlightning]

feel like beloved sir TONY IOMMI was there before even VENOM dearest Chuck love the thumbnail anyway bless his heart

[@alfaeco8885]

Paul Masvidal deserves part of the credit too.

[@DS-wi3bk]

WOWWWWW the best tutorial of Death , thanks man

[@sergeriemichael4492]

I know all the time i know thank you

[@nathanl4417]

Well done! Excellent video

[@mcon62]

Nice job man!

[@primaltyranttx]

Great Video. I wish i could sit here and say i understood it all. But i honestly dont lol. Music theory has always been a bridge i cannot cross. But its insane how so many metal musicians can just sit there and write stuff like this. Especially even the Nihility album by Decapitated. So hard to believe that people just played like so nonchalantly. So many musician in late 80s and early 90s that were truly so far ahead of their time.

[@nathanrossiter122]

i feel you man i play a lot of metal like really mainly death metallica a lil a7x some cod zombies songs tried necrophagists but holy fuck they make death look easy hahaha amazing bands all of them but i do not understand a single thing about music theory and hearing people like chuck wrote songs without knowing it, it damn near seems impossible you couldnt pay me to write a riff you couldnt play and note on the guitar and i could tell you what it is haha something i really really need to fix but only been playing for a year and hope to cross that bridge sometime

[@calvinsherman4002]

Great video, and zero hate, but I’d argue the 99.9% of guitarist not knowing music theory creating predictable junk, although maybe for many, but if you find something that works definitely stick to it. I’ve been one to take matters into my own hands, I don’t know theory, but I write some pretty kickass songs. Everyone’s got their own way, I think a lot of people don’t entirely embrace their true style and where they feel their purpose is in playing their instrument. Hope this made sense lol.

[@orikarin714]

One of my favourite bands. Symbolic is amazing. love from israel

[@gideonlew]

To be completely honest if chuck was alive right now he’d be anti-israel

[@DeathCovers]

That guy at 5:33 can't play for shit!

[@MarouaneChakib]

RIP CHUCK.

[@NorttVander]

varg vikernes as marriage material? what the fck was the criteria for that cumulus of madness?

[@etar]

isn't the lack of comprehension intro just 4/4 though? why is there a random 8th note rest messing up the time signatures? and why the 15/16 bar?

[@sergeriemichael4492]

[@enigmasenlahistoriaOA]

los dioses perversos le dijeron a Chuck ,lo siento no puedes continuar , estas muy adelantado y estropeas nuestros planes

[@MadJackChurchill1312]

He started and ended death metal. The alpha and the omega.

[@andychinn7674]

I Hate the nick name evil chuck!! The begining of this video shows he was not evil but good and kind and full if life!! EVIL CHUCK IS TO THE CLUELESS!!! ONES THAT DIS NOT UBDERSTAND HIM OR HIS MUSIC... HIS MUSIC WAS EXTREME AND EXTREMELY BEAUTIFUL. 😢😢 U WILL B 4EVER MISSED CHUCK!!!

[@a.g.4843]

Sure this guy had any knowledge in music theory? Or did he just write something complicated and it happened to sound good? Many of those guys are talented but dont know what they are doing.

[@AidanHalm]

Addressed in video!

[@lapinus]

doesn't really matter. after a while that you play and experience the instrument, you tend to know what sounds like what, even if you don't know the theory. also it's not implausible that he could've read some theory without being trained

[@bizrizedebag]

Chuck did not know any of this stuff.

[@liquidcancer4573]

You don't know that for sure and it doesn't really matter. We can still use music theory to learn how and why something works.

[@bizrizedebag]

@@liquidcancer4573 Sure dude tell me something else about my only guitar hero lol

[@sergeriemichael4492]

Sorry for my english i from Québec. I serch this video all my lif ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
