The attack in your picking technique is bad ass.

I used to look up to Hetfield and Schaffer for inspiration in improving my picking hand and make my rythm playing tighter. Now I look up to you as well. You three are my holy trinity of tight picking :P

Look up artillery’s by inheritance album, some of the songs on there are quite technical riff wise and it sounds amazing

Everyone gangsta till 4:40 comes in

The whole lesson: "hell yeah I can do that!" 4:40 mark comes in: "what on earth is that?!"

Josh, your playing and song writing abilities are out of this world. Very inspirational

Even still this is some of the greatest shit ever, just started learning this song, it's great to see this. Josh truly is a master of his craft

You're the real mvp for doing these lessons thanks so much

Always an inspiration, thanks man, love from brazil

Josh! awesome video! Please continue these videos with more of your work. They are SOOO beneficial to the community of players fans and critics alike. p.s. America misses you!

Hey Josh, do you think you can post a video teaching the basics of sweeping and how to practice them to get better? Your one of the best guitarist that I know at it and it would be a huge help.

Yeah, I'll be doing an in depth sweep picking lesson at some point in the future

Thanks for taking the time to make these lessons.

dude, those sweeps are so fucking tight. holy shit.

I'm watching a lot of this at 50% speed to make sure I get the notes right on some of the riffs. It's funny because when he talks it's like drunk josh teaching me to play guitar.

i can't play guitar for shit but I love watching your videos

Great lessons man, thanks! You guys f***ing rock!

Great lesson! God your sweeping is so amazingly clean!

Bro your music composition is so awesome as well as the lyrics

awesome video. ur the man josh!

Hey man, still kicking, you play great thanks for the content upload and music.

Bro I've been listening to Sylosis since some dude introduced me to you guys back in like 2008 when I was killing goblins in Lumbridge Swamp in Runescape!

you explain it so well I understand you

hi josh, i started to learn fear the world yesterday. today it is private only. please bring it back. good that you have redone the teras lesson, thou ;)

This is a very nice lesson! Would you mind doing one for The River at some point? btw listened to Mercy today, killer track \m/

Damn man, you’re incredibly good...wow 🤙🤙🔥🔥🔥

Shredding from Reading! I remember playing with you guys in Swindon at the Furnace ;)

Perfect technics

Great riffs! Is there any chance you make such a lesson for "Last remaining light"?

Chug city! Thank you dude! 🔥🔥🔥

i can play this song whole but by the end my forearm is on fire i cant imagine playing a whole set of sylosis, next level.

So good

Josh could you put up a lesson for transcendence please you are a fooking legend man 🤘🏻

Learning this right now. Probably their hardest song by far

Well Empyreal is quite something if you look that one up! I've been learning teras for years now and still can't do it at 100% speed! I only started guitar at 31 though! I'm 8 years in at this point! Goodluck with it

excellent ♥

josh where is the studio video of the conclusion of an age recording sessions? i cant find it

Perfect

Is it possible that you could do a lesson on the solo to Mercy? I feel like I'm missing some notes in that fast run

sea shepherd nice~~~~~

Man I’d love an After Lifeless Years lesson or tab! Cheers brotha

Hi Josh... can you share the guitar tab for Teras. This is my favourite song! Thanks Josh...

Absolute monster

Beast!

Badass as fuck bro! Love this song to the bones, and seeing this is a new form to blow my fuckin mind even further! Epic /,,/

pure dope

Imagine all this shit and he actually screams on top of it too😂😂 what a beast

JOOOOOOSH! Please answer!! Am I allowed to use ur awesome music in my vids? (KZread copyright stuff is feking me up)

josh is it better to learn this whole piece slowly first and speed it all up at the same time or just riff by riff?

Can you do a lesson on overthrown pls

I've been playing this wrong for years lol. Found a GP tab online, close but, left out a few things.

Any plans to do a video on tone?

@n0261451

9 жыл бұрын

I find it really hard to get a tone that sounds good cranked that can cut through the rest of the band without being too loud/ mic'ing through a PA. That would be a really useful video actually!

What the song he plays in the beginning called?

Sylosis- teras 🤟🏻

Anyone who can sweep that cleanly on a Les Paul with mid level gain is a beast!

Gonna tackle this sweep now after many years lol

oh god yes

Hey man. I've been wondering for a bit what Marshall head do you freaking use? And can I have some tips on tweaking with my tone so I can thrash as hard as you?

Relax your shoulders and arms and pick with your wrist. And just play through conclusion of an age - after lifeless years, reflections through fire and teras played back to back give you endurance :D

Jon Geetard I can attest to this method of training. Also, Withered is a must.

yeah that sweep just feels like its not what you're saying but you do it flawlessly lol... did fear the world solo get deleted?

Josh, why did you go A3-A2-E5-E3-A2-E5-E3-E2 in the Chorus riff and A3-A2-A0-E3-A2-A0-E3-E2 in the Verse riff? Are you actually looking for a different tone or just having fun with it since they’re effectively the same? Thanks. Love this song.

fuck i can't even play the first riff :( I think this song is too hard for me because I'm noob on guitar,but anyways i'll keep practicing i fucking love this song.

What's is tuning ???

It's like you have accelerated the video on sweeps x) Do you use stock frets ? Because stock medium jumbo frets are terrible to shred IMO

E harmonic minor.

Trivium was my favorite band until i found you

охуенно. рифф научился, учу соляк.

Is it me or can I hear some megadeth in those riffs

Ah yes just some simple string skipping diminished arpeggios with single string taping and 204 bpm sweep picking for shits and giggles on an LP....easy 😂

4:39 pahahaha

Those minor chords are in key together..... in black metal they're in key. Lol that progression can be considered "consonant" for black metal.

..."and so the Thrash riff" Like it's common sense

Not very helpful....
