Definitely. This is where half of it comes from.

The solo was so spot on that for a moment I thought you were going to get kicked out from a guitar center

The funny part is seeing Nik actually get into it while playing. Like towards the end he was really (for lack of better term) rocking out.

dude, there are so many musicians named chad. theres chad smith, chad channing, chad kroeger, chad white, and more. which chad are you talking about

Starting a rock band is actually a great way to learn rock music. I played in metalcore bands during high school, but after graduating, my drummer friend asked me to start a rock band with our bassist friend, so we learned a bunch of covers and a year later we had 6 awesome original rock songs and recorded our first EP. Unfortunately, we broke up by the time it came out, but it's still a great EP. This was back in 2012-2014, and since then I've started combining all of my interests from rock, punk, metalcore, deathcore, J-Pop, etc. and have gotten a really cool progressive rock kind of thing going. I just released a deathcore concept album in the spring too, but my poppy progressive rock stuff is what I'm best at. Edit: because of interest in the comments, here are the albums I mentioned. Follow by August Silhouette (deathcore, available everywhere) Now Playing by Idle Cinema (rock, only available on youtube) The music I released between the albums is available on this channel, but all new music will be on the August Silhouette channel. Thank you for the interest!

Love that you were just starting your best Carlos Santana impression when you realized "Wait I need more pentatonic"

"He's finally playing something other than screamo music." - Boomer

This is a bit like "worldwide greatest writer learns reading"

The ultimate troll would be for Nik to play _How You Remind Me_

Now we need a learning to play shoegaze

Even when you play rock and roll, you're a metal boy at heart. Well done.

Your best bet is to put the guitar down while you watch older rock bands from the 70's and early 80's play and solo for a few songs a day and simply skip to the next song and band once you get the idea. Or,just listen to older classic rock when not playing metal music. Your brain will automatically adjust and memorize ideas. This is also a great exercise for your brain.

There is actually a lot of newer rock that’s tuned way down. Normandie immediately comes to mind.

I've played over that exact jam track so much and it pleases me to hear Nik play almost the exact same kind of stuff I've played over it. He just played it a LOT faster, cleaner, and with better timing, but the phrasing was unbelievably similar to mine!

"Rock is just metal lite." Um......I'm glad you just NOW had this revelation...😂😂😂😂 Loved the solo! Very AC/DC and BWoHM

As someone who fits the exact definition of listening to queens of the stone age growing up and learning to play rock Nik immediately learned all the tricks I had accumulated when he got the backing track up at the end

This was fun Nik. As my roots come from blues and classic rock before i wrote metal, this was awesome to see. And you were kinda nice with it too!

At first, I loved rock music because I listened to AC/DC all the time... then when I heard PSYCHOSOCIAL by SLIPKNOT for the first time, some kind of fire got lit inside me and I knew that I was meant to be a metal-head and that same song encouraged me to buy my first electric guitar🤘🎸

I'm so happy to see Nik play Rock (or would say anything that's not drop tuned)

This has been the best video from you in a while!

Nik travels back in time and improvs a solo to johnny b goode..."i guess you guys aren't ready for that....but your great grandkids are gonna love it"

I have never seen a video that looks more like me screwing around with my guitar in the bedroom 😂 loved it

"I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet, but your kids are gonna love it"

Loved It. Reminds me of that scene from Back to the future.. "Guess you guys aren't ready for that, yet. But your kids are gonna love it!"

Nik I love your videos you never fail to make me smile, keep up the Good content ❤

Hey Nik! Love the content. Who knew you could be such a great rock star! BTW, "How to Invent Animate in 30 seconds" when?

I was dying in the solo 💀😆 rock on 🤘🏼

“It’s like metal light. Which makes sense.” 😂😂😂

I think this video showed how confusing it actually is for someone just learning now days. There’s so much info but trying to decipher what to actually listen to is chaos

1:17 Thank you for making the Skyrim meme references a solid thing. Everytime I hear the drum sound of the skill increase, I cry and laugh at the same time. 3:27 It's hillarious Nik never increases the skill over 21 points.

Once again great video nik

That solo was awesome I loved it I think you got the 🪨 down

"It's just metal lite!" 🤣💀

You had that concentrated fun look going on my guy! I bet you've heard of Big Wreck bruh. Check out how funky they've gotten since The Oaf (My Luck Is Wasted) days

Bro your guitar tone is awesome 😶‍🌫️

YES I LOVE THIS SERIES

Honestly, if you're a Metalhead, you should know your way around some classic rock, around The Blues, learn a bit from Classical, learn a bit from Jazz. Metal is so insanely diverse with all its subgenres, we can basically incorporate everything.

Using grid paper to draw chord diagrams is both the smartest and most excessive thing I've ever seen.

I would love to see you learning Blues Rock, specially the song "Pride and Joy" by SRV, it is fucking hard as a Metal guitarrist trying to emulate that style

First few chords, already got those Volbeat-esque vibe

I saw that pic of FCG you snuck in. I SEE YOU NIK. I can’t wait for Thursday either 😁

What a crack up, you looked board and then had to rifffifyyy it up then pretty much wanted to go back to metal 😂

The article: tries to explain things and actually teach you something Nik: Gimme tabs

Dude use the single coil setting on the JP guitar middle switch and push the tone control sounds sick for light rock tones.

6:35-7:11 was pretty slick. Ps. Now all we need nik to do is J-Rock (stuff like Versailles, X Japan and Loudness), i mean, he kinda did that with Mathrock but thats more modern stuff.

That "in game" at the end.... Are you a Dantes fan ? 🤔 Btw it goes without saying but you're an amazing musician !!!! Oh and we're still waiting for a full song with Elizabeth on vocal (doesn't even matter what song, as long as her vocals are there) 😁

This was THE funniest video you've ever done 🤣 lost my shit when he a clean strat sound and you were on ridic' distortion

Punk was also my gateway to metal. Epitaph, Fat Wreck and some bands on Victory Records.

Delightful, we have Santana at home now

Didn’t expect to find FCG in this video. Nice

With your new found expertise of the rocknroll . You should listen to Sevendust’s new album, “Truth Killer.” It would be cool to hear you review the album. Its a nice blend of Hard Rock/Metalcore riffs. One of their best well rounded albums.

4:11 dude just called out my whole childhood.. :-) tho, its not wrong what you said there

I would love to see you learn jazz or funk guitar in a video that would be fun

The gain is hilarious on these riffs hahaha

Nice leather jacket homie, fits you well, and suits you well. Thanks for the badass videos
