The Brilliance of Chuck Schuldiner (Death Riffs with NO DISTORTION)

Музыка

Hey there!
The reason I recorded this video is simply to show the brilliance of Chuck’s Guitar lines, how beautiful and melodic these riffs are and why I’m so influenced by them. I’ve always loved playing these riffs without any distortion because of how beautiful they sound, so all I did was put them together and record them as they are. No distortion, no nothing, just raw beautifulness.
Hope you guys will enjoy this just as much as I enjoyed making it. It was really fun.
Thanks again for watching and I’ll see you soon.

    According to Wikipedia: The most popular theory of the subgenre's christening is Possessed's 1984 demo, Death Metal; the song from the eponymous demo would also be featured on the band's 1985 debut album, Seven Churches.[56] Possessed vocalist/bassist Jeff Becerra said he coined the term in early 1983 for a high school English class assignment.[57] Another possible origin was a magazine called Death Metal, started by Thomas Fischer and Martin Ain of Hellhammer and Celtic Frost. The name was later given to the 1984 compilation Death Metal released by Noise Records.[56] The term might also have originated from other recordings, such as the demo released by Death in 1984, called Death by Metal.[58]

    Maybe cause Chuck used a lot the fifth mode of the Harmonic Minor scale, the Phrygian Dominant. Well Phrygian Dominant is widely used in traditional middle eastern and southeastern european music. But the intent is not that, to make some middle eastern stuff no. But without distortion the middle easterness of this scale sometimes gets unlocked. Chuck loved it cause it has this particular evil metal flavour if you know how to compose with it, and not play accidentally sacred hebrew chants ahahhahahaa.

That was the best break we could have from a session! Great job by the way, Leo! You nailed it!

    Everytime I hear Chuck, I just wonder bout the writing process. Sure, it's difficult to play and sing on top of it but I wish I could get into the headspace that can create something so unique, original, deeply emotional and fit it perfectly in a context of extreme metal. It sounds so good clean, sounds devastatingly aggressive with distortion.

    I play cello, of course a classical musician, meaning I live in the world of complex finger patterns and odd shifts with tons of unpredictability as a string player. Chuck Schuldiner's riffs are very complex and definitely seem technically demanding. To compose such music such as death's requires immense proficiency at your instrument. Another thing I love about Chuck's writing is one thing we as classical musicians focus on soo much more than technical proficiency..the feel...He never cared for highly impressive tapping, sweep picking, or blazing scales.

    Chuck was a genius and an incredibly talented musician, professional and a down right fantastic human being. He was taken away from us far too soon, it’s true what they say, the brightest starts burn out the quickest. These riffs sound just as great clean as they do with distortion, that’s a hallmark of great writing. There isn’t a single Death album that I don’t enjoy, they all have something different to offer and I like to think of each album as a journey that Chuck embarked on, progressing and growing as a musician and a human being. What made Death even better were the other fellow musicians that he surrounded himself with, especially the Human era. Hail to Chuck and rest in peace to a legend that got me into more extreme metal.
