For real. So many guitarists will hide behind tracks and stuff (I'm guilty, the only videos I've posted are me miming to the studio tracks lol). He's just that good

I’ve never seen someone tremolo pick so effortlessly.

@maynardburger

Because he's not really changing up his technique much like a lot of people do. So many guitarists try and develop a 'trick' tremolo technique instead of just building up the speed of their traditional alternate picking. It's also why his sounds so much more precise than most, cuz he's not just blazing as fast as his hand/wrist can go, it's controlled. Obviously this is the harder way, requiring more effort and time, but it gets better results.

@@maynardburger it’s true. my angle of attack and pick grip change when i trem pick. hazards of teaching yourself to play 😬

I listened to Dean, Lamb and Misha Mansoor talk about strings and guitar tone and they mentioned how wide open your vibrato is. And I couldn't agree more. It's rad

An actual good exercise (it was an exercise before it became a song) is to play Bleed from Meshuggah. Not the whole song, but just the picking patterns that repeat through it. It will be incredibly difficult at the start, but it will help a lot, trust me.

It would be interesting if Brian ever talked about how he composed that riff.

Dude, your relaxed tremolo picking is just fucking amazing. I really need to work on releasing tension in my own playing. Gonna study the hell out of this video because it's a damn masterclass in single string tremolo picking.

Statutory 🦧

Would love to see a "What a horrible night to have a curse" and everything from the Everblack album

Mouthing the words to the chorus as you play it🤘 I do the same every time I hear it as well! lol

You did an amazing job with the solo as usual but I'm just as impressed with your pick attack. It takes no prisoners.

I really feel like you’re one of the greatest guitarists alive Brandon. Not just because of your memorable leads and solos, but the clean attack and precision of your rhythm and riffs is just staggering. Simple yet powerful videos of a classic anthem make me want to be a better player.

I listened to this 7 or 8 times in a row because its so incredibly sick! This and wormwood's feast are on heavy rotation. I love his phrasing and vibratos on the bends. Angus young has one of the best vibratos and same with Brandon. King Diamond has been one of my favorite bands because of how badass Andy Larouqe can play and it rubbed off on Brandon and thats incredible.

Your right hand is a machine!! Absolutely flawless execution. 🔥🔥

Excellent stuff! So glad you are putting lessons up on Patreon!!

This song just tickles my brain in all the right places

It’s insane to me that both of the bands best lead guitarists are in the band at the same time. I wouldn’t be who I am today without Black Dahlia Murder.

So sick man 🤘 hearing this song from you is an actual treat

You guys write the sickest riffs thanks so much for these playthroughs!

i was checking about tabs for this song....now i can say thank u master for giving up the opportunity to learning the song right! Love ur ton, TBDM is love TBDM is life ❤

You have to be one of the best active metal guitarists right now. So butter smooth and even sounds good no backing track. I can hear the drums in my head it’s that good of a play through.

Yea, I much, much, rather something like this than the multi angle, cinematically shot, video of someone miming what they recorded piece by piece through a daw.

You guys killed it last night in Detroit having you and Ryan on stage was amazing the alternating solos.. everything about it was bad ass

Man his technique is flawless. He attacks the strings aggressively and doesn’t miss a damn beat.

So sick loved how you couldn’t stop from singing, still my favorite album 🤘

Absolutely love it! more of this please!

I would give a toe just to have a fraction of the precision and clarity you get. Insane musicianship.

One of the sickest and most memorable riffs. Nice work.

Jesus Christ! What a beast! Perfect playing brother 👊🏻

Love the little bit where you sing along during the galloping part ❤

These quick vids are the best, thank you

One of my favorites! Thanks Brandon!

What a weapon! love watching you play dude its mesmerising.

dude, i love your attack on the strings. feels good man!

It’s awesome to see you playing this man love all you guys forever

Without cuts...without editons like all musicians are making their videos nowadays... Congretulation! Respect

That solo was so clean!

Thank you for letting us join you on your journey man :)

I swear, man. You have every kind of guitar in that finish. Keep shredding brother! You da bess.

the riffs are insanely catchy sick neoclassical thrashy and black metal stuff

this is so fucking good ugh i love you guys so much and hearing you jam always makes me giddy asf lol, thanks for sharing these

Brandon Ellis and Chris Wiseman have to be the best metal guitarists in the game right now. Watching the picking hand of both of them is mesmerizing. How they stay so relaxed is wild. Also, dude you just flawlessly did the solo to statutory ape in one go 😂 wtf

what a joy to watch. More please

You deserve way more subscribers Brandon! Thanks for the videos.

I have been aware of The Black Dahlia Murder for quite a few years now. But this is the first time i have sit down to pay attention to the performance of the song. Brandon, dude, you fucking killed it my friend! I've been playing for 36 years, and this would give me a fuckin problem lol. I could do it, but it would require me to have carpal tunnel surgery several times after the attempt lol. You gained a subscriber in me, brother. Keep shredding the sickness! \m/ ( - _ - ) \m/

Man, that solo was fucking gnarly - so damn good. I also love me a travel guitar. The DIY touch is nice, too, haha. Like you said, work with what ya got!

Saw this on headbangers ball and it was my introduction to death metal. 15 years later still my favorite song.

Raw playthrough, I love it man!!

New guitarist: *throws guitar in bin*

Just incredible dude. Seriously one of my favorite sounds in all music are those notes you play between 2:38 and 2:41 of this video. That little riff dude there's just something about it. Every time I listen to it I tell everybody to be quiet right at that part lmao So although bittersweet now, Receipt might be my all time favorite. Not sure how you and the rest of the guys feel about it anymore but if you ever got around to making a video of you playing that one that would be awesome. Thanks brother

Such a beast bro, love your playing

Awesome!! Love the arpeggios!

My favorite TBDM song. Great playthrough as always.

That was way more technical then I thought it would be and that solo was gnarly!

Amazing talent on display. Well done!

I'm an ambitious guitar teenager and you sir are a inspiration.

Damn I think he put his Kelly in the dryer for too long

literally one of the best guitarist around dude

Man, I have no idea how you can make those gallops look so effortless and sound so tight. If I try anything close to that speed my body completely seizes up so it's super cool seeing someone killing it with ease!!

Always so clean in your playing. You rule

this is what peak guitar playing form looks like

That's some pretty damn clean playing my dude. Holy shit.

dude you kill it on guitar for the black dahlia murder you are amazing 🤘🤘

No pigs died in the making of this

What a monster of a guitarist I hope I can meet you guys in Nashville on Thursday can't wait to see TBDM live for the first time.

Now this is how you start the day!

I saw you i Cracow Poland with Exodus ,that was epic. So good show and greate performence man. This song made me a fan of TBDM .

He’s played this many many many times. Flawless.

that tone is great for a simple travel amp honestly

Badass, I love how I can hear the sound of the strings being plucked

Hell yeah dude, love this song and liked your brandon ellis flare to the solo

You are my new guitar superhero!!

Honestly, I think this sounds better than the videos in the studio. Prob just casue of the way it's recorded and something about youtube compression and the stars aligning to make this sound good. All the variables...you know. Anyway I love the sound of this. So clear and concise. I'd love to see more just like this.

Hotel life! I can't wait to hear new TBDM stuff! Hope it comes this year!

one of my all time favorite riffs and songs

Thanks for that! I am really enjoy to listen guitar part without anything else. 😍

Insane. TBDM killed it at Irving Plaza! Great work 👏 Make sure Bryan takes care of himself, the art your all create is important to metal and your fans

Thes play through videos are always so satisfying to watch. Would be awesome if one day we could have more dual play through. As the one you guys did for Matriarch.
