Slayer definitely was inspired by the works of Edvard Grieg.

Savatage- Hall of the mountain king was my first metal album. Absolutely love it. Chris Oliva was awesome. Taken too soon.

@@jomarkwh I most certainly understand that,it's about time he got his due respect as a great Guitarist.

As much fun as meta is, there is a key element in classical music that is undeniably just as fun. I have to include classical guitar in my daily routine. I also play marimba and Bach works very well on that instrument.

I thought you were going to do a Savatage video... This will suffice for now though.

Real metalhead here!!! Nice that you also like classical music. And not only Metal.

Studied Grieg fairly extensively in college. He remains one of my favorites. This was utterly fantastic - you're like Rick Beato, but with 69% more evility! Probably even more. Love the channel. Cheers

Criss Oliva is DA MAN!!!! Incredibly underrated

Oh you didn't know about Savatage ? I remember when this album came out. Total Devastation. I had a Nintendo game by this title and when you beat the game it played this tune in true 8 bit technology.

Hall of the Mountain King - Also song by Savatage and Apocaliptica.

Edvard Grieg was very metal!! He knew what was up.

That’s what I’m talking about

Great video, I love the classical aspects of metal, I'll be adding this to my practice routine. I've learned to understand so much more about guitar, music, and theory, from you. The patreon content is 666% worth it. Thanks man.

Thanks for the reminder bro I remember when this came out and it has been lost in memory and now it’s back lol

I rember playing this in orchestra, it's pretty metal. The only other piece I can think of that might be more metal is Gustav Holst's The Planets:Mars, Bringer of War. It frickin chugs!

Other classical pieces for metal heads (apart from the regular Beethoven and Vivaldi stuff everybody knows): Mars from the planets suite by Gustav Holst, 9th symphony by Dvorak, 10th and 13th symphony by Shostakovich, 9th symphony by Mahler, Siegfrieds funeral march, the flying Dutchman and ride of the Valkyries by Wagner and there are plenty more but these just from the top of my head.

Savatage Great guitar visionary at the time. His style was so unique in the metal realm. With Skolnick, LaRoque/Blakk having their own thing, he did also. Dudes from Skid Row, Friedman yada yada.

Shred, you are the man. You have the cover of my favorite metal album of all time on your thumbnail. Savatage is a God tier band woth the talented, composer-like mindset of John Oliva with the great guitar skills of his late brother, Chriss Oliva, they were an influential milestone for metal music in the 80s. RIP Chriss. 😢

Awesome vid ! Love this. We can actually easily bang your head to this.

I'll be your Huckleberry. Never got to see Savatage until 2001. Almost went to see them in Dallas in 1994 but missed the show. I was in the Army at the time in Oklahoma. I've been a fan since '87. A friend of mine just covered Ghost in the Ruins for me on his KZread channel. It's called Mr A and he is in South Africa, He just did Queensryche's I Don't Believe In Love for Valentines Day as per request. Maybe we can get him to do Prelude To Madness. I think I might have used up my request for this month. Later Dude.

Shred, best discovery of 2022. Love your content brother. Know for a fact, would enjoy smoking a fatty Arbuckle and jamming out with Shred. The outcome could be astronomical. 👍

Thank you again for joining classical music with guitar. (minor modes get extra credit in my book) I will continue following you, Master.

Great piece! I think his piano concerto in a minor is even better!

The metal band savatage has a song called hall of the mountain king

Whenever people tell me how great the Trans Siberian Orchestra is, I always tell them to check out their early stuff. 😉 Jokes aside, Savatage kicks ass.

The gutter Ballet album was great too Savatage never got the credit they deserved.

don't you want to be that one guy at the end that stands up and yells FU*K YEAH!!!!!

When I was in elementary school I came across this picture of trolls in a bridge in our music book during music class. I asked the teacher about it and she did a lesson on it. This was probably 1980. Kirk Hammett has played a snippet live too. It’s also in cartoons. I think the smurfs specifically!

My old band did a kickass version of it in the 90's when we were teens🤘😁

4:19 You missed one thing here : SHAKING YOUR HEAD !

Great video, as always. But the bride Peer Gynt abducts, Ingrid, is not the daughter of the Mountain King, the Troll Princess. They are two different characters in that play.

i think i have this exact performance on my playlist

I can’t think of and hear “In The Hall Of The Mountain King” and not also think of Inspector Gadget since the Inspector Gadget theme is sort of a variation. Lol As for whether or not I’m practicing any classical music, not at the moment but I’m trying to get 16ths up to tempo as my goal is 160bpm for now. Sweep arpeggios as well. I try making the exercises actual musical examples otherwise, I think I might sound like the equivalent of a heavy metal typewriter. Go go Gadget metronome! 😛

Been my favorite song for a very long time.

Oh man this was great 👍 👌 🤘

This one, Ride of the Valkyries, and Mars, Bringer of War are the primordial ooze from which Metal was forged. 🤘🤘

Inpector Gadget theme is based on this masterpiece

6:15 biggest "drop" in history.

Back when I was playing electric bass every day I was learning Bach's Cello suite #1 transposed into D. Even though I never finished learning the whole thing, it turned out to be a wonderful way to at least warm up.

Imagine if Beethoven had distortion

Back in the day when I was first exploring metal, I listened to this all the time (both the both the original Grieg and Savatage versions!). I tried to learn it on guitar and could play it partway. I also got kicked out of Denny's in the middle of the night after a gig for playing it on water glasses. I also listened to Gustav Holst a lot. Mars: Bringer of War is mandatory material for metalheads.

My favorite has always been Danse macabre, heard it in elementary school at music class. Still think it's great.

Super Classic!! Iced Earth is a good metal band to check out ✌️ Shred

Back in the 90s my band covered L7's Pretend we're dead and i used to stick this in the middle section as it weirdly flowed lol. It used to get precisely 6.9 nods of appreciation from fellow axe-ologists in the audience.

Would you consider reacting to Stevie Ray Vaughan? Texas Flood Live at El Mocambo. Was one of the greatest guitarist before he passed away. Tragic!!

That’s a fuckin great album

I practice neoclassical improv. This means choosing target tones over a "phantom" chord progression, especially based on the natural, harmonic, and melodic minor scales. It helps to repeat melodic ideas and resolve on the 3rd or 5th intervals of your "chord". Ascending via melodic minor sounds quite harsh when phrases include the minor 3rd, as it forms a tritone with the major 6th. Descending via natural minor. I tend to use harmonic minor as a hexatonic scale by omitting the 6th. Try improvising eight bars; four bars of tonic chord melodies, three subdominant, then a dominant. Then try replacing the fourth tonic bar with the secondary dominant of the subdominant. THEN use the third bar of the subdominant to play the secondary dominant of the dominant. You may thank me by acts inappropriate for polite conversation.

Playing Fur Elise on guitar.

I have always loved this song, but my all time favorite has to be "Night on Bald Mountain"...shit is bad to the bone brother! Tzernobog coming out to party and get him some WAP juice, 😂

The most metal classical piece of music ever written has to be Gusliar by Pesniary!! That's absolutely DYNAMITE!!!🤘🤘

Ritchie Blackmore did a cover of this song in 1995 with Doogie White. Very Blackmore of him.

Totally agree Classical is metal! My usual practice involves playing Bach to Behemoth. One suggestion, check out Paul Galbraith. He plays classical guitar on the Brahms guitar - sounds amazing! The guitar is an 8 string classical, however its not two additional bass strings. Its set up like a 7 string but has an added A string = B-E-A-D-G-B-E-A. He is a remarkable guitar player, and plays the Brahms in a cello position. Check him out, I'm sure you will enjoy!

Yngwie Malmsteen got interested in classical music when he heard Genesis selling england by the pound. I think anyone who likes classical music and metal should give that album a spin!

@@ShredmasterScott Yea, I was thinking about a review on Jinjer's Ape. The connection is kinda thin, but I heard the Rite of Spring on Disney's Fantasia (like 50 years ago). So I associate it with the whole creation theme. The dissonance and chaotic theme kind of pops in my head when I hear Ape. Somehow, I think Stravinsky, Beethoven and many other greats would like Metal once they got past the shock.

For reference, Grieg was from the city of Bergen, the same city as many of the true Norwegian black metal legends: Immortal, Enslaved and Gorgoroth, newer acts like 1349 and Taake, and even highly controversial ones like Burzum. Another classical composer from our city was Harald Sæverud, and his "Ballad of Revolt" or "Kjempeviseslåtten" (written in total fury during the nazi occupation in 1942, and dedicated to the resistance fighters active in Norway at the time) is also metal af. One major difference with "The Hall of the Mountain King" is that "Ballad of revolt" is specified as having the exact same tempo all the way through, and the composer specifies that _ma sempre a tempo_ and even _ma sempre a tempo e non rubato_ towards the end (meaning that the performer _must_ keep this tempo without deviation), implicitly saying that all dynamics and accents must be achieved by volume. It was originally written for piano, and I think this is the best version I found here on youtube, although I think the performer misses a few keys towards the end, he gets the anger across: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Yql-l5WDmbm5dNI.html
