      Especially considering Nuno Bettencourt is only one of the most unbelievably talented musicians ever. They are criminally underrated, probably because everyone thinks "hair band," and they only know the song "More Than Words," which is just really not representative of the rest of their catalog.

I'm so happy that I watched to the end of the video and discovered that your favorite riff is also one of my favorite riffs. Once that riff happens, you know Blackwater Park is going to be a wild and unforgettable ride!

      Well, it is far less praised than things like Crazy Train and even No More Tears, at least with modern radio, so that is likely the logical. There is often a lack of appreciation for the Jack E. Lee days of Ozzy time, so not touching on the two "main" guitarists, Randy and Zakk, makes sense.

    So glad you put The Root of All Evil... what an album opener that song is. The riff slams you right in the face.
    Also And Then There Were None is my favorite Exodus song, the solo is amazing too

    Watched the entire video thinking "damn this dude can play" and that all riffs were great picks. Subscribed immediately upon seeing that riff from Leper Affinity is your favourite of all time because it could very be mine as well! Keep putting out solid content dude!!!

    • @Pleurotus
      @Pleurotus Pƙed 4 lety

      Actually, now that I think about it... the title track also has one super-syncopated monster riff in 14/4 (not sure how a schooled musician would count that, I'm sure you can correct me) in its mid-section, right before Loomis starts sweeping that solo out of the galaxy... THAT is my nr.1 favourite Nevermore riff ever, and they only repeat it 4 times and that's it. Do you know what riff I'm talking about? Jeff and Steve play two different versions of it, one palm-muted and one with open strings.

Your videos are really just amazing, entertaining and educating, especially your tutorial videos (sweeping tutorial helped me a LOT). You show more skill, better teaching and MUCH more humour than popular yt guitarists, like Stevie T for example, and you deserve much more subs and views, just keep the great work!
