Slayer is so metal that it is metal even when it isn't metal.

Lucas Grutzmacher Dude, acoustic metal is still metal. Music doesn't need distortion to be metal. 🙆

Where are his ears.

never thought it was possible to put one of my favourite thrash metal tracks onto an acoustic guitar. blew me away

During the first half of the intro I half-expected Clint Eastwood to appear wearing a poncho and chewing his cheroot. Brilliant work!

Great work! If people, who dont like the music, ask me "what i hear" when i listen to slayer, i send them this. (and a cover of dead skin mask or south of heaven from the string quartet)

Now this is the kind of cover I like! Not some hipster with a ukulele trying to be ironic.

tekubus For an acoustic cover it's not 'wrong', because it's an acoustic cover.

@conflictengaged1618

tekubus 'Sorry sport'. If you knew anything about composing a song, you'd know that there is a vocalist, bassline, lead and rhythm guitar and percussions. Because both the lead and rhythm guitar on the track 'Seasons In The Abyss' are not playing fingerstyle acoustic, it's playing in a completely different style. A cover with an instrument that isn't on the original song isn't going to follow something that isn't there, 'sport'.

Tune half step down to Eb and hopefully you can play finger style first, then slow video down and watch carefully. Its not extremely hard. And of course there's a bit of palm muting. If you try, maybe you can come close and enjoy trying to play it.

WOW! Masterful and you gave the song so much depth.

Absolutely perfect! Even in classical guitar, I could visualize the slayer words propagating from inside the guitar filling my entire room. Congrats! Tks for sharing your talent!

Really awesome and fresh unplugged take on a classic metal masterpiece!

Fantastic arrangement Phil. Thanks for sharing your talent!

Freakin awesome arrangement. Especially the vocal melody.

Wow man! This is pretty brilliant. I didn't expect you to play the vocal lines on the guitar as well. Blown away.

Phil that's a great choice. The acoustic arrangement is refreshing and challenging - and it rocks.

OMG!! U r very gifted my friend!! So much talent!! I enjoy listening to ur videos!!

AMAZING!!! Added to favorites
