Writing a VEIL OF MAYA Solo!

[@DeanLamb]

Hey guys! Here's the final version of this project! Hope you enjoy what we came up with! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXmtp5iai5eNZpY

[@AaHo0102]

It really shows how your "standards" for what's good change when you gain more technical proficiency in an instrument. Being an ok guitarist at best here, I watch you noodle around and in the first 5 minutes you play more than enough badass shit to have a solo, but you keep chugging along with the ideas man. This is easily the best video you've done imo.

[@christophercastro2489]

Some of the best songs such as deftones change are simple it's more the music the soul should always strive for better but you shouldnt beat yourself up over it keep pushing, practicing writing and playing dudes

[@DeanLamb]

I'll be tracking the final version of this section today, and I think the video is planned to release in a couple weeks, so watch for a link in these comments! Thanks for watching!

[@Guitaristscreamer]

Nice job man! I love that song already but adding the solo makes it sound like a new one all together. Do you know when and where we can find Mark's video?

[@BrandonArd91]

hey dean, i just built a pretty beast PC and I'm finally in a spot to start recording my own crap. new to the channel, do you have any tutorial like videos about recording or setting up to record?

[@mupicap7927]

waiting for the final result

[@necropollis-]

“So, how much music theory do you know?” Dean: Yes.

[@DeanLamb]

Lol not even close hahaha

[@champagnepapi2660]

I hate theory cause once you know it it’s so obvious and easy but learning it is a pain in the ass

[@necropollis-]

Dean Lamb not really into theory and you’re still pumping out these tasty liccs? Too good man and thanks for the response! That actually just made my morning!

[@DeanLamb]

@@necropollis- no I'm DEFINITELY into theory, I just don't know "all the theory" 😂 I'm somewhere in between

[@necropollis-]

Dean Lamb you are way too humble lol In just 15 minutes, you seriously had so many great ideas that would work with the song, yet you somehow managed to make it *that much* better

[@jamieplatt1243]

Incredibly interesting how you approach writing. You had more ideas in first 15 mins then I will ever have 🤘🏻

[@DeanLamb]

Hahah thanks bud!

[@caretheis6779]

That's what theory does for you

[@sieni221]

Thats why u learn arpeggios, scales and intervals

[@TobyKBTY]

This VoM album was my JAM in high school and it’s fucking awesome hearing you rip over this song. Those runs are straight NASTY

[@WAXULIMATE]

Love Veil of Maya and Archspire. Looking forward to hearing the final version of your solo! Also looking forward to hear Marc's solo on remote tumour seeker.

[@DeanLamb]

Yeah I'm super stoked!

[@hannescanopus1383]

Every riff im think like, man this is the sickest riff till 1.45 sceonds later and there's another and another.

[@briantoro2410]

Veil of maya with staytech techniques🦐🦐🦐

[@DeanLamb]

Yussss

[@ToxicTerrance]

Your middle finger muting technique is awesome to watch. I need to work on that a little more.

[@DeanLamb]

It's pretty much a necessity when playing high gain amps with an 8 string I think, it came from trying to avoid awful noises lol

[@masonhutchens9565]

Watching you write makes me feel like one of the professors in Good Will Hunting as he completes an impossible equation. Very spicy my dude.

[@DeanLamb]

Lol thank you

[@jburk4168]

“Do you have any idea how easy this is for me?! This is a joke!”

[@FlaxYeti69]

Idk why I keep watching your videos but I can’t stop. Your videos are great background noise like a box fan.

[@DeanLamb]

😂😂😂

[@jessegolden23]

Been binging his vids for like 2 weeks now hes got so much good content and good commentary throughout

[@Shredwizard445]

I was literally tracking guitar and saw the premiere and I was like "yo this is the inspiration my guy"

[@joeymusic]

Simply amazed watching you come up with this haha

[@Conan_Obrien]

Love your neoclassical tendencies Dean. That blistering pedal point stuff gets me every time.

[@christopherdubois9970]

Dean would you do a detailed video of your techniques, as far as picking,muting, and taping.

[@vannanalabomba]

Sick ideas. I can't wait to hear it come together!

[@DeanLamb]

Thanks!

[@recluserick]

Dean is definitely one my top 5 favorite guitarist.

[@fryinnbuyin8766]

Dean, I've been watching your videos for awhile now, never commented, just enjoyed, but this was awesome, man. Kudos, my guy. Keep up the awesomeness!

[@deylanengel7251]

Dude one thing I've always loved about your playing; is your ability to make sound like youre using a whammy bar on certain notes with vibrato etc. Its really special.

[@wyliehj]

This is wicked, they shud rerelease the song with this solo!

[@Hideousspawn13]

This is why you’re the GOAT Dean. Still can’t wait to hear new Archspire!!!

[@jonathankuykendall3239]

@ Dean Lamb : DUDE! You continue to inspire and amaze me @ ur abilities, skills, and improvisational techniques; it's like I can see the clockwork gearz grinding away through your output! This is amazing, and I'm even going to create my morning wake-up alarm/ringtone to be the best part of the solo you came up with that starts @ 16:50 - 17:01. Thank you, kindly! And stay metal!!! That solo in INSANELY phenomenal! Achievement unlocked: You're Badass, bro!!! *fist bump*

[@brodieknight772]

This is awesome. You need to do more of these. Makes me think of me writing guitar parts, just sitting there restarting the track, playing almost the exact same thing over and over again

[@methiumsmusic]

How about writing a pop song solo next vid hehehe techy solo with no distortion 😺

[@McNastySlam]

I really enjoy seeing how you build ideas on a DAW. This is probably the best way to do it. Thanks for sharing the process.

[@ghostchants]

Two of my absolute top bands ... Thank you.

[@JayFFAFAlesanaES]

This was one of my favourites off of this album. I learned it some years ago with We Bow in it's Aura and It's Torn Away (Though, if I'm honest, We Bow was a sloppy cover as my playing sucked back then). So cool to hear some nice solo ideas over it. Will definitely check out the final piece. :)

[@PopulationBirthCtrl]

More videos like this! Super interesting and inspiring watching your thought process

[@chrisstrohman4131]

The pedal tone technique you’ve got is impressive, I really enjoy listening to you experiment with them throughout this video

[@hectorarribas4884]

You should do a tutorial on all of those techniques cause holy fucc they are amazing

[@navebowser5880]

Ita like watching a mad scientist work in his lab. Idk if this song will ever be the same now lol

[@neonblack211]

Mannnnnn I was hearing cool ideas all over the place.... you are an amazing player dude

[@joshuamartin9255]

Idk why you don't have more subs. The amount of talent you have is insane and you're able to keep your videos interesting too. I practice for hours daily and I cannot do half the shit you do

[@elex621]

You chose a song off their best album too, fucking perfect.

[@ILoveLamp-sj4bx]

Abstract art.. Born of Osiris track plz! This is a great veil of Maya song.

[@bov3793]

Dean, keep those videos comin. Very inspiring. I am nowhere near your level. The way you push yourself really makes every guitarist push themselves as well

[@Szlejer]

As a beginner guitarist I LOVE these solo composing vids. Crazy work, thanks!

[@RetroDoneRight]

20 seconds off the timer and you've got what would have taken me a couple of hours to come up with

[@jordansage9655]

Dude. you wrote enough brilliant ideas and directions for 15 awesome solos! I swear you metal guys need a producer by your side to direct all those blooming directions! Haha. That was so cool though, wish there were more such videos of creative artists chiseling the statue just like this.

[@eliasaltman4439]

This was an absolute pleasure to watch, it gave me so many ideas for my own solos, I'd love to see more videos like this

[@patrickftw8464]

also, more vids that show your writing process! super cool to see you work ideas out

[@TheStrykerProject]

I love watching your 'working process' (I imagine it's different for other things). And, man, I wish my hands could keep up with brain as well as your does! 😆🍻 As a newly subscribed Lambite, I gotta search for other 'working sessions' you've recorded, and I hope to see more in the future!

[@putnut77]

This is incredibly fascinating. So much creativity.

[@winstoncarter2119]

My favorite Veil song! Such tasty riffs 😍

[@komobg6403]

The diminished ideas are wicked I liked the diminshed parts more than the phrygian mostly Good stuff.. And excellent quality playing

[@matttaylor1449]

Your playing in this video is very inspiring for. That underlying melody gives me strong Behemoth vibes. Phrygian and Dominant are very death metal scales.

[@wendell0817]

It’s not safe to Archspire today!, I didn’t think this song could get any better...I was wrong. This is so badass!

[@kiklul]

Really cool to watch you open up the toolbag

[@DeanLamb]

Yes, the toolbag is open for all to see, for better or worse...

[@evilbunnysanta]

Watching you go through your thought process was sick! Honestly these videos you have been doing are not only fun to watch but have been helping my practice and creative process a lot.

[@lowandslowshow]

Also holy fuck Marc is gonna do something over remote tumour seeker? Jeezus I can't wait.

[@nastydissonance]

Woooow! Now it sounds really different. I have no words, how awesome it is! The force of the Shrimp Squad is with you)

[@duradrian1]

WHAT. I'm beyond hyped for this

[@AvylTheArtist]

Man,,,, when I thought a riff was already perfect you just,,, make another amazing riff.

[@camilofuentes7056]

Awesome! Looking forward to see more soloing over other bands

[@TheGersson28]

love that song yo, final results sound great!

[@joshuawerner3074]

Veil of Maya goes Stay Tech guitar solo with Dean Lamb I’m ready for this!

[@taylorw8952]

Your guitar playing is unbelievable

[@alexbrodie2207]

Hands down best vid you’ve made

[@stevenmacintyre5912]

That was a treat to watch. Great work!

[@k-ondoomer]

I love the ending the other guitars arpeggio idea I'm stealing that

[@ryangrant530]

I was so bummed when he moved passed that idea lol

[@Mangos390]

I really liked the part at 2:21 to 2:28 it sounds super cool

[@finnancahill2644]

My favourite lumberjack writing for one of my favourite bands

[@rondecaro]

Very cool video. I like this idea.

[@NoVanity1]

Man this was great MORE MORE MORE! Do periphery next. I'm sure Misha would be down.

[@davidallen3360]

Dean steady out here making me love solos again

[@jdevil5776]

Again? I never stopped loving them🤘

[@davidallen3360]

I just write 5 IQ caveman sludgy stupid chugs and know nothing about any sort of theory or even how to play my instrument So yeah for a while I stopped liking solos

[@mattwhitfield9850]

Pretty fuckin cool, can't wait to hear the finished product

[@napalmninja]

Awesome video I like to do stuff like this for fun and it helps me come up with new ideas

[@Weirdwest805]

ohhh, super secret video, I feel special :P

[@DeanLamb]

Lol, yes very secret

[@metalheadblues]

You should let Clair take a crack at it for fun. Your a truly proficient player.

[@edgarmayorga8048]

mannnn absolutely killing it! love watching you play

[@RiktritBloodfilth]

This is truly amazing. I love it.

[@Superhecticwog]

This is some awesome stuff dude!! love it

[@krushruss]

Damn, I think I had goosebumps this whole video...

[@tylerthemaker3822]

You should learn the demo riff that Rabea massaad wrote for his forton Cali suite video

[@zachz3234]

Your videos are always amazing man! I'm always impressed and want to go grab my guitar and practice after watching your videos. You should do a "Dean Attempts To Learn Beyond Creation" if you haven't already. Saw you guys in Denver with them and haven't stopped listening to you since!

[@baileyfleck1257]

Can you pretty please do a dean attempts to learn for this song pretty please???? Ive been trying to learn it for like 3 years

[@DylSherm91]

really interesting how it deliberately look away when you track. almost like watching your fingers becomes distracting and slows you down lol

[@davidmacmillan6800]

So sick when you completed his sweep into that solo.

[@ccivinski]

Thats a BIG difference after adding the melody.

[@Ginger2Rocker]

now i wanna see veil of maya do remote tumor seeker

[@guillaumeaudet3139]

Their song ''Conquer'' teached me a lot in guitar technique just by learning it. I'ts more on the melodic side, no breakdowns, but those string skipping riffs :O

[@kaizuey]

Love that song

[@danielnelson4881]

It actually did for me as well. I'm a VERY amateur guitarist who has been playing on and off for a LOT of years... Many many "off" at this point right now... My problem is that I can play some really hard shit that would make an expert guitar player impressed probably... But only because I've been playing so long and learned songs I thought sounded good. I have ZERO theory or any kind of knowledge at all. I mean I'm about as noob of a guitarist as one can be while still saying they play guitar... Yet I try to tell someone who doesn't play the guitar that and they just laugh at me and think I'm being humble.. It's like no dude I'm really not, I promise you I suck ass at the guitar hahah. Anyway though my interest in playing the simple shit that I NEED to play to learn and actually become better.. Is little to none. I moved past the learning chords (I don't know almost any chords, just a couple basics if I remember what they are even called) and playing Metallica's entire discography the better part of a decade ago.. I want to play more complex shit and sweep pick.. Which I can do, I have the playing ability.. The fingers. The picking.. To do that stuff. But learning this kind of shit he's playing from TABS? Not really something that works, at least for me.. When the song makes sense to me I can pick it up easily sometimes.. But I am so far from having the technical knowledge and theory I need to play and learn to play at the level my "technique" (I think?) is at that I just get bored and never progress.. I'm sorry I've never tried to explain to anyone why I haven't picked up my guitar in like 5 years. You just happened to be in the crossfire for this tangent! Anyway it sucks and I'll probably forever be a total noob and suck at the guitar because I never took it seriously enough over the many years I've played.. Of course being a drug addict for a lot of those years didn't help either but I digress.. Haha, I don't think I can ever go back to playing Mary had a little lamb kind of crap to learn the theory. Even though in all actuality I'm on par as a guitar player with people playing things at that level lol. Did this make any sense if you made it this far?

[@danielnelson4881]

But yeah Conquer and actually quite a few other songs from Id really helped my picking hand immensely. Like the song resistance as well is another one that stands out to me.

[@ashoggoth2419]

would you be interested in doing a dethklock solo next?

[@DeanLamb]

Maybe! I did this one as a project for Joey Sturgis, it wasn't something I was planning on doing otherwise.

[@nicholashernandex8946]

Will you feature marks solo in the next vid as well??loving the content 🤘🏻

[@willsnellgrove4882]

I honestly think you'd be a great fit in VOM by your playing style.

[@email745]

Dean's the fucken man, man

[@DeanLamb]

Hey thanks!

[@thomas21514]

Honestly a god.

[@titiripau]

this inspired me like, A LOT!

[@BobRobie1]

Bravo man this is epic!!

[@trippybruh1592]

Brb Gotta go get my fix for some old VOM

[@spiritbox9039]

I love the shit out of this song!!

[@mijikle]

Been watching this channel for a few weeks now. Sub’d today. This is theeeee shits!

[@wendell0817]

Where is my Arch Maya album? I want to hear "The Common's Spire's Collapse"

[@kotokid31]

I was contemplating becoming a membershrimp very very soon, but I got layed off today, so, unfortunately, that's no longer practical for ya boy. This video is way cool tho.

[@trippybruh1592]

You’ll be alright man. Hang in there!

[@a-lexcatharsis9285]

You're such a fuckin' inshrimpible talent, DAMN! 💟

[@johnw5734]

Wow, you're going at it in full tempo. I imagined you writing solos at half or reduced speed.

[@higler.]

this is reduced speed for Dean... you've heard Archspire, right? lol

[@fernandomoreno7753]

Why would he do that?

[@DiscardatRandom]

Damn I was hoping it would be some of their newer stuff because it is more melodic which would probably make for a better solo.

[@traveandre8877]

7:50 is that tapped string skipping? (idk how to call it)

[@bigsnacks913]

Yup looks like it, since you don't have the ability to roll your finger over to fret the start of the next string's tapping sequence (depending on the size of your fingers and how far you're looking to skip) you hammer on the first note of the next string a little harder than you usually would since you're hammering onto an open string. Slow the vid down and try it out!

[@twokidsmovies]

Hey dean I would love to see you try and write a breakdown riff like veil of maya (examples like the groove here in this video or their songs crawl back and unbreakable). I love the off time and weird patterns and would like to see you come up with one

[@RustinRoark]

Wow this was really cool, got my sub
