      @fredmachine Před 8 lety +13

      Nick Wallace Well, at least he's not limiting himself to pentatonics (so maybe King might actually learn something from this after all). But yeah, Holt is a good rythm guitarist and decent songwriter (for Thrash Metal. Just don't let him write the lyrics. His lyrics in Exodus gave me an aneurysm), but his lead playing isn't exactly the most inventive or interesting out there. And let's be honest, he abuses the wah pedal just as much as Kirk Hammett. Hey, it's cool, it's Thrash Metal after all. Not a genre generally known for being technically demanding...

      It is actually an A note with heavy panned and delay effects. It is indeed a joke as he says I don't mean to yank your chain. Gary has an incredible sense of humor.

    • @honigdachs.
      @honigdachs. Před 8 lety +29

      Nah, it's a G. Delay and panning don't pitch down the sound by a whole tone. He probably calls it an A out of habit, because he's playing the 5th open string, which in standard tuning is an A. His guitar is tuned down a whole tone, turning the A to a G.

    • @dkyelak
      @dkyelak Před 8 lety +1

      Jimmy Hellfire I stand corrected. I am downtuned and am just used to hearing it that way. Yeah, it is the open a string position but tuned down. Don't hear much metal in standard tuning anymore.

    I really tend to forget how talented this guy is. He has definitely earned the right to saturate his tone and shit-whip that bar as much as he fucking wants. I wasn't born till 95, and after my whole Metallica phase "metalhead dues" I became and still remain a devoted Megadeth and Dave Mustaine fan. Exodus and Slayer still give me chills though, as does Testament. Point being, this bastard is a metal monster down to his bones. The sounds he cultivates are pure wickedness, he hasn't abandoned a single bit of his edge in 30 years.

    I think he and Jeff Hanneman have a similar playing style, even though Jeff could never be replaced Gary is a good fit for the Slayer line up.

    A lesson in blue screen violence! Excellent instruction though, even for guys like me who have played almost 30 years. Everyone can teach you something if you want to learn. Thanks for posting, I'm glad I found it.

      @deadenddude Před 7 lety +18

      what he's doing is fairly simple and repetitive from a harmonic standpoint. It's playing it fast, clean, and making is sound bad ass that's the hard part.

    • @deadenddude
      @deadenddude Před 7 lety +5

      Holt, like most metal players uses a lot of repeating patterns. Once you recognize the patterns it takes a lot of the mystery out of it. Few metal players really stump me as I understand most of their tricks and tools. Now jazz players...that's another story. I listen to guys like Pat Martino, John Scofield, and Ted Greene and I get lost and feel like a rookie.

      I see what you're saying, but metal is like the blues in the sense that it isn't rocket science but it does speak to those people that enjoy it. He has his style and is well versed in the musical style he enjoys.
