Augment and Impulse are a pile of great technical riffs and licks and still soso fresh, Drift is for the feels and the newer releases are for the more straight forward head bangable stuff.

Hyped to get more Dean attempts to learn

You have to listen to their first album "Impulse". Those songs are all way more technical and a complete 180 from Pale Iris. The first album would definitely be more your vibe.

I'm a big ERRA fan and watching go through one of their songs figuring it out and commenting has been great.

MORE OF THIS CONTENT PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

This format is BRILLIANT - I would _love_ to see more of this, from you and honestly from others

Thank you for always motevating me to practice and learn new riffs outside of the comfort zone. You really help people get better at guitar and being excited to play and learn new things. Thanks a lot dean! Love your Videos.

Great song and nice to see how you learn stuff ;) You also seem to enjoy the process, more of this!

The speed in which you learnt those riffs was incredible. It was super cool watching you work your method.

ERRA has some dope riffs ngl. especially back in their older work. the riffs then were even more complex and sick

Nothing but love on this video. Love this band. Love your band. Didn't realize I wasn't subscribed. I am now. All the love in the world from worst case Ontario.

4 levels with ERRA needs to happen!

Awesome stuff i love this video format!

Love the last bit, bud. Great insight.

As a fan of archspire and metalcore, it's fun to see Dean learn this, I don't listen to Erra very much but this opens the door to see Dean play other stuff.

love your analytical approach to this stuff. its fun to try and figure out why a thing sounds the way it does and why people like it, i bet the bands writing sessions are fascinating.

This is great, not a lot of people can do this type of thing, or would to different genres of metal, awesome to watch.

I love watching the process of learning riffs/songs - it helps me realize that if I just keep at it, I can go from hitting the wrong note half the time to playing it perfectly (or well enough to sound good!) Thanks for putting stuff like this out there, Dean. 🖤

Watching one of my favorites playing a song from another favorite is amazing. They have tons of complicated riffs in their catalog, would love to see four levels of ERRA.

The X factor of Erra for me is Jesse (Lead Vocals and Guitar) doing insane tapping riffs while singing the insanely catchy vocal melodies.

it's crazy how fast dean learn those riff, pure talent 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Watching you dissect the guitar line, out of the gate, in real time using your mental library as a reference point gives me such hope as to my own mental library coming in handy as I begin my own journey into the music bizzz ❤❤ much love to you both Mr. Lamb!

Car Bomb next Dean!

Love it when I see these boys get support. I've known them since they were in high school. A few of them used to be in a band called By Blood and Iron. I haven't seen most of these guys in years but I did run into Alex at a bar in bham a couple years ago. They've come a long way since my band used to play youth centers and small venues with them. I couldn't more more proud.

i loved the songwriting discussion at the end. especially from the perspective of someone who plays a crazy genre like tech death. nice video!

Glad this finally came into fruition. Tbh this is probably ERRA’s least technical song they’ve ever put out. Would love to see you check out some stuff from their self titled. 4 levels or ERRA would be super sick too and super entertaining

This was a great breakdown of why a song sounds interesting to the listener. Definitely would love to see more of these! I'd like to echo the rest of the comments with a 4 Levels spin off. Jesse is an amazing guitarist and has come up with some great riffs throughout their discography. ERRA sounds the same but different with each release and they are one of my favorites.

I wish he had picked a song from when Alan was in the band, that man wrote such beautifully awesome and distinct riffs. I would love to see Dean react to something like Dementia.

PLEASE LOOK AT THEIR OLDER STUFF 🙏🙏

Yoo love the Stortregn shirt ! Nice to see a kinda local band to me getting recognition !

Erra is amazing. Just discovered them last year.

I think this type of content but maybe cut so its a bit more concise would be super enjoyable. Really love getting your perspective when you learn other bands stuff.

I have seen ERRA live, they are very good

They definitely have way more "guitar-driven" songs you should check out, like Gungrave, Snowblood, Spirits Away, Skyline, Alpha Seed, etc.

Those first time listens are so cool

ERRA's first two albums are bangers! Miss that old lineup

Really like the structure of this video.

My two favorite artists ❤

Nooo dean how have you never listened to them?? They have been so good for so long!

honestly kinda surprised you havent heard of em since their ogs but glad your finding them cause jesse is like you an incredible wizard on the axe and the voice of a damn angel

You have to be able to feel the groove coming and a song needs to circle back home just like a good riff. Those are key elements for a banger for me

Yes! This is awesome

I can’t believe you got the guitarist from archspire on your channel!

Impulse and Augment are two of the most incredible albums I have ever heard. Their new stuff is great, but those first two albums are untouchable.

Breach is my Favorite guitar playthrouht ever Shadow Autonomus too

This was a really good video. Assumed it was going to be your take on 'reaction' videos, then it became a 'watch dean learn a song in just a couple minutes', then developed into a very interesting look at what music is, what goals you can have as an artist, etc. Keep up the great stuff, Dean

that solo tho, would love to see you check out some of their other stuff!

never would expect you to learn erra! jesse cash is so sick!

First dean you're a brutal player 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🔥🔥🔥

We need more of this crossover. I don't really have a favourite band but sometimes I wonder if it is Erra. Snowblood is definitely a track for you to check out. Tech riffs plus a soaring chorus plus a brilliant solo.

ERRA is sic! as someone who loves tech death, I can def get down with these guys. I also am not a fan of melodic singing but, somehow these guys pull it off!! If Im not mistaken the the singer/guitarist(Jessie) isnt a big fan of heavy music lol. its weird how they make it work. I was a fan before JT and when I heard him for the first time, it blew me away. Scorpion Hymn and drift are my favs, and so much more! They're whole catalog is worth a listen!

Yeah Jesse has kind of drifted away from heavier music and you notice it in the songs. Pre-Drift stuff was still clearly heavily influenced by Misery Signals and it was pretty heavy.

i wanna see dean learn house of glass by erra that song still fucks me to this day tbh

You must check new Persefone track called One Word, I promise they will blow your mind apart, also it's so nice to see when member of your favorite TDM band meet you favorite (and best of all) metalcore band, great video, mate!

I need Dean to go back to the early stages of Erra to really do them justice. Augment and Impulse are fucking incredible albums!

the synth or guitar riff that comes in behind all the other guitars sounds like a protest the hero song to me, which is awesome

I was not expecting this but holy shit I’m pleasantly surprised! I fucking Love ERRA!!

What you said about the difference between how vocal music and instrumental music affects the audience is right on. Personally I think instrumental music is generally more popular with musicians.

I would really recommend the song "Rebirth" from their album Augment. It's one of my favorites.

So glad you gave Erra a chance, I love their music, a couple other bands I think you would like for their riffs is After the Burial, Born of Osiris, Currents, Veil of Maya, Oceans Ate Alaska, Within the Ruins, The Voynich Code, Strapping Young Lad, FOAD, and I know a lot of people may disagree with my last one but For Today. Any riff from from the albums Portraits and Breaker by For Today are sick.

Thumbs up for a “Dean learns other sub genres of metal riffs”. So awesome

I saw Erra at the first show I ever attended in San Diego, CA. They played with Within the Ruins and my favorite local band at the time Adestria. As others have said, you should for sure do 4 levels of Erra!! (Also check out Adestria’s “Chapters” album. RIP)

ERRA'S Breach has some of the coolest riffs i have ever heard

Damn you are from Archspire. RESPECT .. I thought you were just a musical content creator with a decent number of YT followers.

This checked a lot of boxes for me, I've been bumping Erra since their first full-length. His clean vocals leave more of an impression in person, they're wild. Check out Unprocessed, they have some wild riffs in a that djent/metalcore-ish area

Really want to see what you think of a more technical song from them like Gungrave, Eye of God or some tracks off Impulse. Great video, keen to see more reactions like this!

their recent self-titled album is a masterpiece imo. check the whole thing out.

It's really interesting watching someone who plays tech death learning (admittedly, also technical) metalcore. There's so much crossover in the guitar techniques used in both styles, but metalcore has such a heavy focus on syncopation and tends to be more rhythm-oriented vs. the raw stamina and dexterity required for tech death.

Hey Dean! You should really do 4 level of death metal Persefone! Would love it

Hello Dean, I really liked your video

🤘

Oh my God, I fucking love Erra

Nice bandshirt. Stortregn is really cool.

I feel better knowing one of the gnarliest guitarists out there learns songs the same way I do: replaying the same part 300 times, flubbing it over and over
