Brandon Ellis - Tornado of Souls solo cover 2024
zhlédnutí 82KPřed 6 měsíci
A humble redux on the Tornado of Souls solo for my patreon teaching this time. Maybe with less flare than I did it 8 years ago. I still have no idea exactly how this guitar solo is supposed to be played, but this is how I think it goes! I imported this 20 year old Charvel from Japan recently, the pickups are Seymour Duncan Custom Shop 59/Custom Hybrid with A2 bar magnet and 59 with A2 mag. Patr...
The Black Dahlia Murder - Jars Playthrough
zhlédnutí 29KPřed 9 měsíci
I did this video a little bit differently...I never think TBDM comes across right with just one guitar track panned center since there are so many riff harmonies and the mix usually feels odd. And the more tracks you layer on, it starts to feel fake. This time I decided to keep it to just studio style left/right tracks. You are watching me record the playing you hear on the left side, no cheati...

I ripped the drums and bass from the Nocturnal album using Moises.ai (why it sounds a little janky), and recorded over it live in this one take.

Hantug + Brandon Ellis: Machining Titanium Tremolo Saddles
zhlédnutí 3,9KPřed 11 měsíci
I did a tour recently of the Hantug facility in Ankara, which was unbelievably cool! They put together this video of me operating a CNC machine for the first time, their Haas VF-2 TRT160, to make some titanium tremolo saddles. I wonder who will wind up with these on their guitar! These are my locking tremolos of choice, and I am slowly putting them on all of my Jackson and Charvel guitars. Trul...
The Black Dahlia Murder - Matriarch Rhythm Playthrough
zhlédnutí 38KPřed 11 měsíci
Playing through the rhythm guitars of Matriarch, this was the first single from Nightbringers and for sure my quickest paced song, relentless on both hands. I've already done the solo cover on here so I figured I'd just rock the rhythm and show the riffs some love. I used Moises to rip the drums/bass from the studio mix and played over it in one live take here. Rather than dubbing the harmonies...
