- Here's the next episode of Chordplay with The Chords Of Death. I've had a number of requests to feature more of Death's music after I featured the late-great Chuck Schuldiner in a Three-For-All lesson about two years ago during Metal Month, so I figured it was time to finally take a look at some of the pioneering/ legendary chord and rhythm work hiding in Death's music - so let's dive in!
The chord-based ideas found in this lesson revolve around the two-guitar interplay you'll find in Death's music. As I listened to Death's albums while putting this lesson together, I couldn't help but notice the abundance of dual guitars working together in a number of their songs, so I decided to feature that area of their music in this lesson. The songs targeted in this lesson include tracks such as 'The Philosopher,' 'Spiritual Healing,' 'Evil Dead,' 'Bite The Pain,' 'Killing Spree,' 'Empty Words,' and more!
Needless to say, if you're a Death or metal fan, or a player searching for some new chord-based ideas to play around with, not to mention plenty of examples of blending two guitar parts together - this lesson is totally for you! Give this episode a view, leave some comments/feedback, and please subscribe to Late Night Lessons - THANK YOU!
As one half of the guitar team with Chuck on Spiritual Healing, and the guy who wrote the melodic part of that Killing Spree intro, I approve of this lesson! And David, you are 100% correct... it was a finger exercise: I was playing it just to keep my fingers warm during a break from the S.H. writing sessions, and Chuck heard me playing it and asked me to keep going. Then he grabbed his guitar and came up with the underlying chords. And thus the intro to Killing Spree was born. Cheers @DavidBrewster
You are a legend too. You were on the Testament "The Gathering" album back in 1999. You got to play with Steve DiGiorgio and Dave Lombardo. Gene Hoglan is a legend too. Gene did some sick drumming on the "Symbolic" album! Chuck always had amazing technical drummers. Sean Reinert is another legend that worked with Chuck. Richard Christy was killer too. Christy was on the Howard Stern show. Back in the day, I used to listen to Death, Cynic, and Morbid Angel. Mid-90's I found Michael Romeo and Symphony X. They became my favorite band. Today... i'm into this all-female metal band from Japan called: LOVEBITES. Midori and Miyako are a killer dual-lead power-metal guitar team. Check out their live performances for "Break The Wall" and "Set The World On Fire". ( Videos are here on CZcams. )
James you're a damn legend. Slowly we rot is one of my most favorite solos of all time. Cheers man 🤘🤘🤘
James, your work on Spiritual Healing is amazing and is what got me into listening to Death.
Got to see Death at Bogarts in Cincinnati when you guys were touring for S.H. It was freaking amazing.
wow. just wow.
No way you covered Death! My goodness I have never clicked on a thumbnail so fast. Just to know that David Brewster is a Chuck fan makes my day :)
Just got into Death about a year ago after listening to metal for 20+ years and am so happy at finding something so fresh and different from the 80’s thrash/metal scene!
First time I ever tuned my guitar to D. All the memories! Thank you.
Nice and have fun!
And hey, after you play around with some Death you can slide over and play some classic Motley Crue as this well, as Mick Mars favors this tuning.
\m/ Shout At The Devil \m/
I'm trying to figure out how to tune it to that whatever it is
@@johnryan527 Most music by Death is tuned to D standard
I was lucky to have spent my teen years in Tampa during the 80s and got to meet the guys from Death and saw them live a number of times, the first two albums were a big part of my musical initiation, I even used to play root+5th power chords with my pinky like Chuck and Rick, their live shows were crushing
Thank you for this lesson. It's super cool to see Death's music analyzed.
I've been a Death fan since Scream Bloody Gore came out.
Ironically been on a Death kick lately. As usual this is why you are my favorite guitar related channel. 🤘🏼🫡🤘🏼
Dude, you have been KILLING it lately with these video lessons. Easily my favorite guitar tutorial channel on CZcams.
Possibly my fav band of all time !!
Hi Dave it's amazing you show great appreciation of such a good and original music from Death and Chuck Schuldiner. I mean, that is for sure an extreme type of metal, but you are able to recognize the value.
It would also be interesting to see in a picture or video your collection of vinyls and CDs, I bet it is large and well preserved 😎👌🎸
‘There is a lot of tapping in this lesson “ I couldn’t be happier 😊
This was a 'stop everything and watch' for me. So many great riffs and licks. Thanks David.
My friend and I ran into Chuck in the parking lot of a thrash show in the early 90’s. It was either in Indianapolis or Cincinnati, I don’t remember. His band wasn’t playing. Anyway, he took the time to talk to us and answer a few questions. He was super cool and laid back. Very nice guy!
This is Symbolic of my likes.
I'll show myself out ;)
Don't worry, it's only Human.
@@JustRockMySoul well played!
We all have our Individual Thought Patterns.
@@simonp9471 Aha! Good one.
Hell yeah, Brewster!! Chuck Schuldiner was the greatest metal pioneer ever. My favorite metal band! Even signed up for their fan club via snail mail. Chuck personally responded once.
October idea for another guitarist: John Christ of Danzig fame. 🤟
Dude, i literally searched youtube for this yesterday hoping you had made one before. Nice and thanks!
youre posting this just at the end of my month long death binge, now im gonna have another death binge
Thanks Dave ! You Rock!
Thanks for the video man. Couldn't help myself when you were playing Empty Words. I'd have to do the tap tap tap on my desk lol. Growing up with the development of metal scene in Florida in the 80's and 90's was amazing. RIP Chuck and Criss too.
Super cool lesson! Thanks again Sir!
I’m really enjoying your channel I’m glad I stumbled upon it and I’ve been learning a lot from it! Thanks man keep it up!
Sweet death !! Thanks David !!! 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
I saw Death play at the Omni in Oakland back around 86, 87, and our band was one of the openers for Possessed at Keisha's in Berkeley (what was originally Ruthie's, the owner liked to name his club after his current wife/GF). The gig with Possessed was insane because it was raining super hard for a couple of weeks and the beam right above the stage had been wrapped in heavy plastic sheeting, duct-taped to the ceiling and when we did sound check, it was already filled over 10 gallons of water. 🤣
Regardless, I'd say that was the most fun gig I ever played. Every time a drummer hit a snare or tom, the water shot up. They got drenched. The rest of us pushed our amps up to the front of the stage, and still got splashed with water from the soggy drum sets. 😱
Hey David, could you do an episode on my friend's band, _Defiance?_ They never got huge but are still playing gigs, sans my good friend Doug Harrington (R.I.P. Doug, we miss you! )
Thank a lot, Chuck was very creative
Awesome
Still can’t believe Richard Christy of the Howard Stern show was one of their drummers 😂. He’s such a goof
Richard and Sal are hysterical 🤣😂😆. it's my faaavorite 😂😂
@@dougstubbs4351 Their phony phone calls are the best. When they call Swap Shop, I nearly piss my pants every time.
@@waynecanning4122 for real. When they would call hugs for Harlem and the guy that had the Talking Yankees show I would lose it. Old Howard Stern and Late night lessons are my go to on CZcams 😂😂.
Didn't expect this, but so cool!
Chuck is one of my main guitar influences. I loved his phrasing and evil sounding leads. He was unique. I usually do not like growly vocals, but Chuck did it right. ( I prefer operatic power-metal vocals ) Most of those growly dudes, I can't understand a word they say. But I could hear Chucks lyrics clearly most of the time. His tone was pretty wicked too. He's famous for using those Marshall Valvestate 8100 amps.
seriously love the dog typing on the computer picture. Makes me laugh every time. Great Chordplay episode!
Why for. Your k NEES. HURTING YOU. SO ?
@@johnryan527 35 years of bmx stunts....
for the boos? Very nice one sir, Death and Chuck were pivotal.
Fantastic chordplay sir! I like the melodic/proggy version of death vs scream bloody... and you showed some great ones.
Maybe a part2 doing Human album? Chuck and Paul masvidal was a great line up. Cynic/death. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Again Great Work, thank you👍
is a band in the '80s named GUNSLINGER IN NEW ORLEANS a guy named RONNIE SNOW , on guitar a badass cat if ever was he won the guitar contest every year so they banned him at the time LILLIAN AX. ,ZEBRA , ESCAPE . At HEAD BANGERS BALL was in full swing CRANKED , The RED STUF WAS A SWINGING like A MTHFKR AS y'all PRALEY. KNOW. ,HUH??
Ahhh James ...spiritual was my intro to your deathly work & Disincarnate .
Nice, awesome stuff🤘
i remember the music scene going underground so it was everything from psuedo punk to thrash and speed metal to doom industrial to satanic death metal. i still listen to some old school death. not much new but some. we dont consume music today like decades past. least i dont
Thank you,
I had no idea he died. Death took Death Metal to a melodic, progressive side. Great stuff, like Carcass.
Whaatt!? Didn't expect you to cover this band, so looking forward to it!
YES
Could you do one of virgin steele?

Did anyone else think this was about the punk band Death with the 3 guys from Detroit in the 70s?
Remember RAMJAM minus Black Betty
Not really because that's basically the ONLY HIT .BAMBALAM the damn CHILD WENT WILD
Some say she's naive..................
She's a stupid b....

You are my favorite guitar player death ever had. Spiritual healing show Country club Reseda on my birthday Much Respect..

Cynic chord play?
Or Control Denied chord play someday?! Please
Chuck was an amazing guitar player. Didn't care about his fans or the members in his band.
This should've been called the hammer ons of Death. Come on dude.
