Hello, everyone, and welcome to my new GW column. Over the next few months, I'll be demonstrating many of the techniques and musical devices I employ in my playing and writing with my band, Revocation. I hope the concepts I present will help you become a better musician and inspire you to discover new sounds on the guitar.
I'd like to start off by demonstrating some of the licks I play in the song "Invidious," from our latest, self-titled release. Some of the melodic phrases in the tune are performed using hybrid picking, a technique sometimes referred to as "chicken pickin'," wherein I combine standard flatpicking with fingerpicking.
Hybrid picking is not usually associated with thrash metal-style guitar playing, but I find the technique to be extremely useful in executing fast, unusual phrases like these.
Thanks for all positive feedback so far guys, really glad people are digging the riffage!
No problem, just keep making awesome music! Quick question, there wouldn't happen to be tabs for the songs off this last album in existence, right?
thanks david your instructional videos always help me out
I love the way you describe theory in your guitarworld lessons
There's only one thing that could've made this video more awesome: him playing that first riff with the banjo.
just listen to the original track and you'll find it there
Lol a banjo tuned down
to each his own, but how can anyone NOT like this guy?
Yeah. How can anyone NOT like Revocation? Presuming you are into death/thrash metal.
According to my friend (who likes thrash and death) “7 strings are dumb”
Finally, Revocation starts to get the attention they deserve
that guitar is sexy
THAT'S how you play a 7-string. You play ALL seven strings.
@icon if you only use 6 strings, why buy a 7? They’re more expensive and harder to find strings and parts. Just downtune a 6.
Also, this is a 7-year-old comment, why are you replying to it?
That t-shirt \m/
Thats a baddazz guitar holly shit!!!
Jackson WR1 :3
Brilliant. More vids from Dave please!
If i could get that guitar, my life would be complete
Spalted maple looks like rotting flesh on a Jackson Warrior. Brilliant.
lol If you have the money to make a custom guitar by Jackson your dream can be realized xd, but you'll have to have 8000 dollars I think. I looked it up once in the form you have to fill in xd
DeatH!!!! Yeahhh....R.I.P. Chuck
Definitely like this dudes playing, finally something refreshing to the metal world
Holy fuck that spalted maple top is so sick!!
Dave is just an absolute monster. Great video!
This guy knows his shit. Very inspiring.
Never heard of song, band or guitarist... But a cool little video, so after this will be looking them up
that 2nd riff made me wet
He speaks so fast thrash metal is obviously in his blood. Interesting lick/riff!
cool idea to include country style picking bluesy chords into metal.
Dave is such a beast!!!!
DD- you're the man!!
Awesome playing, awesome instrument, and awesome Tattoos! Keep it up Dave! I hope to see Revocation again in Texas!
Dave is soo well educated in music. For real
How long has Dave had his own section on guitar world?
This is pretty good.
Love the guitar!!
Kiana Shotgun of Vixen Vendetta =)
Can't wait for the new Marty Friedman album featuring Alexi Laiho and David Davidson !!!
Awesome guitar!
What a beast
Don't usually like the warrior shape, but My God Dat Jackson.
This guy is fucking amazing!
Sounds much better at half speed!
Amazing !!!
The body on that guitar is gorgeous... I've never seen anything like it.
Nice guitar! Love it.
The guitar looks cool and all, but his tone is incredible.
Sick
Holy fucking shit when I heard this song I never thought ti was played liek this what
Coooooolllllllll guitar....evil little riffs ....I like
david davidson you should do a lesson on rythem playing in general
That Jackson is so damn cool! Is it a custom shop? I don't recall Jackson ever making a Warrior with 7-strings.
That's one beutiful guitar
"For the sake of easy...explaining...ness."
^^
was he playing? I couldn't focus on anything else than that ultra-gorgeous spalted top!
His tattoos are badass
jackson should make some production model 7 string kellys and warriors
WOW I love that guitar. What kind of wood is that? It's amazing.
Spalted Maple top with a Mahogany body and neck. It was an interesting build.
adam ehrig- I think it is one beautiful guitar. It has me wanting a guitar with that Spalted Maple top with Mahogany body. Maybe an Ibanez S Series or maybe even an Fender Telecaster.
7 strings , is good ! :)
I'm sure this guy is more than decent as a guitarist. But in this case, his guitar is stealing the spotlight. That must have cost him a fortune, even if he had some sort of discount through sponsorships. That spalted flame maple is just rediculously hot! And I dig the Jackson Warrior shape too.
Dat Jackson Warrior and dat shirt.
What an effing racket!
Yeah ! :)
Does anybody know how he exactly got that Jackson 7 string Warrior? As far as I know did he have to customly get it?
Dude ... This guitar is more awesome than the classic paint! Where did he get it ?
Jackson Custom Shop.
Great editing Guitarworld - perhaps as rule of thumb if the guitarist is talking and not playing for more than 5 seconds revert to a shot with their face in it? The extended shots of Dave's guitar with his head out of frame while he talked just look amateurish.
Yeah, there's another vídeo of Dave giving a lesson/playing Craddle Robber wich looks way better because you can see him, and then each of his hands separately
Revocation and Death yeah
Necktrough?
This dude should shave his armpit if he wears such shirts:D:D
awesome!
What pedals you use for the sound. I love it!
Hey Stefan, I only use a DD3 and a line booster in my effects loop for solos. Other than that I just use the distortion from the amp. I don't remember what amp I played through at Guitar World HQ but live and in the studio I use EVH amps and cabs.
A Jackson Kelly custom seven string. Nice guitar.
that first riff he played sounded 1000% better slow than it did fast.
cool guitar man. what is your guiar
Wristband of hair where his tattoo sleeve ends hahaha
Leprosy!!!!!
well this is unique shape....
customized guitar actually....
welliz quizon its a jackson warrior 7 string.
What pedal is he using?
nice rap metal tune
Thrash metal bro. Not rap
sounds like arch enemy and his voice sounds like matt from trivium...
"For the sake of easy explaining"
-ness.
What's the song in the intro?
It's the same song he's playing, Invidious by Revocation (more specifically, it's the ending riff).
this guy has a nuno influence i think
WTF? In the first examples of each lick you can see Dave playing but something completely different comes out of the speakers?
It's a backing track. If you listen to the song on its own, you'll notice both guitar parts are part of it.
Tarkess I've already mentioned that he's playing to a backing track.... but I'm still sure that we're hearing him playing one of the tracks although I'm not a fan of revocation and haven't heard the actual track.
What I was saying is that he's playing to a backing track but playing ONE of the two tracks.
Just for the sake of... you know.. easiness. bahahaha
I thought that there were thrash. Like Grip of Tightens.
This is veeery death.
Brootal
dat jackson tho
He's a dead ringer for Bode Miller.
Esta tocando ideas sacadas de country con una polera de Death, curiosamente a Chuck Schuldiner no le gustaba el country...
I don't like video's with seven string guitar. Mainly because, I don't have a seven string guitar :-(
What kind of amp are they giving guitarists? It's a mockery, because this is the first and only time I've heard Dave with a poor tone.
Crazy. I wonder how guitar playing will evolve in another 20 years? Probably have cyborg implants etc.
I'm sorry but this ain't thrash metal.
dude...shave dat armpits hairs
can't take my eyes from it
Keep them IMO. They're metal as fuck.
Dave, i usually love your guitars, but this 7 strings finish is fugly
that is actually a glear gloss finish on that guitar. that is a spalted flamed maple top, which comes from wood from dying trees. so that pattern on the guitar is wood believe it or not.
Ryan Harrison It doesn't look like it's real wood to me, specially because it looks like it's Brown on the back with no effects. It might still be wood on the front that we're seeing, sure, but i still think it's really ugly. Hopefully, if Jackson releases a 7 string warrior it'll be in a better color
João Ferreira Spalted maple tops only on the front face of the guitar the back is might be mahogany or some other tone wood. Natural finishes aren't for everyone but I own something like his and I love it, it is rather bright sounding but still lovely
Samealtorn
Ive got a Carvin DC800 with a spalted maple top and walnut back, looks plays and sounds amazing!
Nice I have a fender telecaster with one, though I have a mahogany back. I can't tell what Dave's guitar's back is, he probably stated it when he got it as I remember him posting a picture of the guitar when he got it
The only thing cool about this video is the guitar.
Amazing !!!
