Thrash developed in the early Eighties as a subgenre of the broader heavy metal category and gained momentum throughout the decade. From the pioneering "Big Four" bands-Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax-to Exodus, Testament, Overkill and Sepultura, thrash metal pushed the boundaries of aggression, speed and stamina with fast, muted open-string-based riffs and furious lead breaks.

+Ohsnapzdawg The internet needs more people like you
+Ohsnapzdawg thx dude)
"Matallaca anthrax magadath and slaya"
Commented someone with a profile picture of a Master Of Puppets shirt
+GloryDouble7198 good story, man...
+GloryDouble7198 dude you have a Metallica pic and everytime I see you comment about Metallica it's always hate, it makes no sense to me
+GloryDouble7198 sorry bro your comments must've come off wrong to me, usually on RUclips whenever someone says something negative about Metallica it's hate so I was confused. I'm not a Muslim or brand fan either or anything lol, I love metal and especially Metallica, sorry bout that though
everyone chill, and enjoy the good music the matallaca anthrax magadath and slaya provide us with! rock on brothers! \m/
Damn that guitar looks so healthy.
what's the name of guitar?
Chris Davidson oh thank you, but do you the exact model? and whether it is good for beginners or not ? :)
Chris Davidson
600 guitars? holy shit!
give me one of your 600 guitars lol xD
Chris Davidson If you really knew anything about guitars, you'd be able to tell that it's an ESP and not an ESP LTD. Please sit down.
The demonstrations in this video are very well done. I really like the multiple passes and how patient he is with his teachings. Not all of are experts yet and he is easy to follow for us learning players.
This is not only the best thrash lesson I’ve seen but also perhaps the best beginner lesson for someone wanting to play metal. Incredible.
the song is: Anthrax - Caught in a Mosh
You've got amongst the best teaching techniques & ppint of view on RUclips.
I’m back again. This is the best galloping practice I’ve found
I LOYKE YOUR STOYL !
Lamb of God, Pantera, and other groove/death metal bands are completely inspired by thrash. Thrash is the reason why death metal even exists. Genre elitists everywhere.
hari haran thrash metal is the beginning of extreme metal....
Doesn't Venom pre-date all of that though?
We are here for the metal, no matter what genre.
@@aungyelin959Thrash Metal has changed SO much, it's weird.
I have an ESP, it is probably one of the greatest guitars I have played, I definitely recommend it!
Alternating picking can be real challenging for me when I want to play at different speeds, I just lose my momentum all the time.
Have to say this guy is the best instructor for a couple of months, great playing and explanation
Gain on full?!! Oh-kaaay...
Ikr hahahah, not great for metalcore
i think this is the cleanest black guitar's body I have ever seen - nice playing
Finally Guitar World is uploading good videos again
1st year playing guitar it is a struggle and pain.
nicolas vignon No pain no gain.
1 year isn't enough, try at least 2 or 3 years more :)
nicolas vignon I started about 5 months ago and I'm already playing green day and blink 182!
Luke Blumell bwahaha i know babies that can play those hah
add about 1.5 years and maybe you'll be playing Holy Wars.
Joe Roz truth
So proud to live in Birmingham, born there and will die there. The cradle of civilisation I mean of metal.
More Martin Goulding please!
Hi. Really great exercise. Learnig this since 2 days, now I'm at the 3rd part. I come from the accoustic guitar, singer songwriter such things so I never used power chords. Think this exercise is perfect when you are already an accoustic guitar player with no much experience in metal guitar. Hope it will be my introduction to this :-) Thanks a lot and greatings from germany!
He pretty much nailed each style to the band perfectly.
That Metallica-inspired riff was awesome.
Megadeth's was so much better though :v
There's always an annoying megadeth elitist nearby when metallica is mentioned. Both riffs were awesome.
As much as I like Megadeth, Most of the "Megadeth elitists" are kiddies who just stopped listening to Slipknot a day ago to try and seem like a hardcore metalhead.
Dude, did you just give a speech for my comment? You just lost the internet battle, bruh.
Gaddafi Duck Slipknot is amazing though and don't lie they have some great songs even if you try and look cool by "hating" on them.
A great pick for Thrash style guitar is the Dunlop Ultex Sharps. Great sound, very comfortable, and all around awesome pick.
I love Megadeth's style. Just wished I could play it. Its so hard >_
Not really. Try something like angry again. or kill the king. If you listen to the song over and over again, it always helps when your going to learn it c:
RaidGamingHD It's not that bad, just start slowly and work your way up
+RaidGamingHD It's Easy if you're a musician
+Barry Dompor Nobody can play Megadeth stuff when they're first starting out playing guitar.
Kinda funny to think that I figured out how to play like this mostly on my own! There were tabs back then but not too much of these nifty instruction vids hehe :)
Daiv Mosteen? :D
best vid on metal so far
i have to say this is a real how to play video... nice work martin. its not just the how to do it but also how can you do it with alot of explanation..
Gain- 9
Bass- 8.5
Middle- 3
Trebel- 7
or
Bass-9 to 10
Mid-3
Treble-7
Gain-6 to 7
Presence-2 to 4
Reverb-1 to 2
Fiddle around with those till you find something you like.
Jeff used the hell outa his forearm.
Hello ^^
Yeah. But who can say he was a precise guitarist?
me too!
Dude your teaching videos of thrash are great!
Andres Turco i know right I just need to convince my parents to buy me a guitar any advice
yup, I hear ya! I am 45 now too, but will always be a metalhead! I like alot of newer metal stuff too - I am listening to Dimmu Borgir "Lepers Among Us" as I type this... I have a doom metal band called Goetic Circle, which sounds kinda like Electric Wizard, but with abit more ambient/psychedelic aspects.
Venom, Motorhead, Judas Priest ect, inspired/founded thrash
Overkill, Exodus, ect. started it
Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer, ect. Drove it
Your correct to a point. To get the same attack on an upstroke is very difficult to pull off, but when your playing triplets of anything with a groove, the upstroke must be equally strong or you'll never be in time and it will sound off. But the mechanics of how you hold a pick really give the down stroke an advantage. I have my metal students work on the upstroke with specific exercises, because the down stroke is so natural, and the upstroke is not. Scott Ian is a master of the technique.
Brilliant. It really helped me a lot, specially with your picking explanations. Greetings from Buenos Aires and great job!
Talk more about the left forearm bracelets. I think were missing a critical nuance.
+Tim Carter That is the funniest fucking comment yet. \m/\m/
+moshpit199 Thanks. I almost commented on the skull inlays.
Dude! thank you for this video! I followed all your instructions and learned all the riffs very quickly, Great Teacher!
I wasn't trying to be rude! I was saying good luck to all of you on your guitar playing! This video is not for me cause I'm not a beginner at thrash, I been playing for over 30 years but it is a good video to show you the right techniques! Keep on keeping on! \m/
"Slaya" lol
British hater! haha...
ai doun´t think saou ;)
MAN.. YOU R AWESOME..
That tone is killer
MEGAAADDDEEETHHHHHH
im playing the guitar for quiet some time now and i wanted to try playing metal. this video has been very helpful, since u have the basics and many examples here. good video. thank you!!!
That's really cool AND easy. Nice little set of riffs to add to my arsenal. Thanks!
This guy gave terrible advice for EQ. If you want a bedroom tone then listen to what he said. If you want a decent tone: Turn the gain down from full until it sounds just a little too clean, then bring it back up just a little bit. I start with my bass turned all the way down and turn it up until it starts to really add balls to the low end, too much more and it becomes boomy. My midrange I try to keep cranked up, this is where most of your definition is as a guitar player, learn to love mids. I turn them up until they're a little too loud and then bring them back down just a bit. Highs I like to adjust by playing a full open E chord with the treble turned all the way down, and I turn it up until I can clearly hear the high notes when I strum the chord.
Depends on whether you're into a very heavy rock/metal rhythm guitar sound,or if you prefer a much more 'rounder' mid-rich tone :)When I'm playing rock or metal rhythms/riffs,I usually use scooped sound..But when I switch to rock/metal lead guitarplaying or shred,I will increase the mids.It works with my Jackson with EMGs 81-85.\m/
Shannon DeLorme I want that guitar though!I looked at their site but it must be a custom job for him!
The Conqueror, all in all it really depends on the context in a given mix. Genre doesn't matter so much as occupying the proper Hz range in the band setting. This may also require a different EQ pattern for recording vs playing a show.
Obviously this is more of a general guideline than a hard rule, Dimebag used scooped mids and it worked in Pantera. But as a lone guitar tone it mostly sounded like shit, the soul all comes from his playing and style.
However in most live situations scooping the mid-range in your guitar is going to bury it under the bass/kick drum and the hi-hats.
Gary Hundsrucker I was thinking it's just an older model, but you might be right about the custom. Looks like the M-II with a slanted single coil in the neck instead of the usual humbucker.
he is talking about the rhythm sound which with these settings will be awful for lead work but thats the setting alot thrasher did use during the 80s
VERY GOOD GUITAR TEACHER !!! THANKS !!!
Jeez! Loads of these beginner guitar lessons give way to much attention to tiny fine tuning details before even explaining the basic technique! 5 minutes of how to use your wrist? Just tell people how to play the damn riff, then refine the technique!
I've always had the same issue with instructional lessons dating way back to the 90s. Some of them start off slow enough, but then you are bombarded with 4 years of theory.
Holy shit this lesson is so in-depth, really well done
I should also mention it sounds awesome if you do drop your 6th string to D and play the same thing with all notes on the 5th string down two frets.
Actually that riff that is "in the style of kirk hammett and james hetfield from metallica" sounds like "Devil's Island" by Megadeth.
i agree. I don't like thrash either but would also like to see more instructive vids like this for other styles.
DO WANT THAT ESP. Awesome configuration.
Fifty0ne Fuck EMG's, get a real guitar. PRS, Charvel, Carvin, Suhr, etc...
love that maverick zorlac. must be a custom build.
It all depends on guitar, amp and pre-processing, to get thrash metal sound they are required.
Awesome licks man!
Ιt's an ESP M with Blackout EMTY in the bridge and a Blackout singlecoil as a neck pickup
He did so good putting these seymour duncan, dude.
how it sounds is personal preference really but the fact was even though you were not keen on the tone. You could play them in standard tuning by moving everything on the top 5 strings up two frets with an as the E bass note. so my point still stands. also he is not playing a LOG riff he is playing a riff in the style of LOG to show you rhythmic and technical ideas they use.
Thank you so much. I am praticing a lot....
its a custom shop guitar i think , cause you can actually ask for those inlays if you want
Damn good lesson!!
This lesson kicks ass!!!!
thanks martin
Amazing perficet and so great , That is you . I had to follow your lessons .
His third example is almost White Zombie's Thunderkiss 65!!
And for the more advanced fellas who just want to hear badass riffs:
00:24 - Anthrax style
07:31 - Metallica style
11:49 - Slayer style
16:10 - Megadeth style
19:54 - Lamb of god
can someone help me whit amp sets
thank you, sir
Taught me a lot, thanks!
The ESP LTD Kirk Hammett signature series KH-602 guitar fully loaded to perfection;)
BEST ONLINE LESSON EVER
Yes, if you are getting a floyd, the very least you can do, as long as you can afford it, is to get an original one, i have an original on my DBZ Venom and schecter jeff loomis guitars, no tuning problems at all, not once in a few years :P but a floyd isnt really my thing so i dont have a guitar with one right now :P If you want a link a great video showing a comparisson between kahlers and floyds, just PM me :)
GOOD TEACHER !!!!
Me too i have a guitar with jumbo frets and its really unenjoyable for me but im sure the frest are "normal"
Yeah they are great, but look up Angelus Apatrida they are a thrash band from spain just where Crisix is from also.
holy shit, this guy is the most fluent speaking instructors in the game right now lol
I just bought one of those guitars. Fucking amazing axe.
Step one should be 'get a tone that even slightly resembles thrash' 😁
This sounds more like L7 / early White Zombie!
i know how to solo in rock style but how can i do a metal solo with out going to harmonic minor ? what is the deference between rock and metal ?? i need some advice please
Is that a KH signature? its the same model + Same inlays but with different inlay-angle and Pick ups...
can someone please tell me what freaking model of ESP guitars is he using??? shit i cant find it anywhere..... it looks like a kirk hammet signature series.... but this one is different.. it has just one humbucker in the bridge and then one single coil on the neck.... and im not able to find this online anywhere.... can someone help me please
Those skull inlays are pretty metal
over all.... for me? i can work with it and i love that amp!
but i wouldnt recommend it to others
just go and buy a Spider 15w or 30w
i uses to have Spider 3 15w and its a great amp
i have no idea why the spider amp got so many negative reviews
I just found this lesson, great stuff and great teaching, just my speed. However, my gallop is weak. Again, great job, thanks.
Are there any videos out there for intermediate metal players. Seriously I don't need to know how to palm mute every time. I don't need to know how to crank my bass and treble to get a "metal tone"
That is one great guitar
yep. i cut the bass on my JVM, get mids at 3:00, nearly dime the treble. heavy-ass tone. better than anything scooped IMHO.
im beginner. and these are excellent riffs =]
Great lesson!!! I love it!! Thank you!!!
Im guessing that Tom Araya learned to sing that fast, saying "and 1 and 2 and 3 and 4" same time as practising those crazy fast SLAAAAAYEEEER riffs :D
Its maybe not a bad idea?
Epic Standard
That Lamb of God type riff reminded me more of Testament accually.
thanks, man!
the fresh metal guitar style:)
i know what gain is i just meant that all the way usually doesn't sound too good and its amplitude not pitch
Question. Thrash incorporates only power chords?
Grand mate!
i think every guitar shape is usable in every genre, depends only on the players taste(sound, feeling etc) Gibson is not bad at all, but ca. 40% of the Price is just for the name.....thats fact, alot other manufactors makin way better crafting in an low price range then a "starting" "Gibson" for the double price
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
a kirk hammett model would have the Kh sig. on the headstock
this one is a custom shop model :P
why i cant use alternate picking???(that com goes on the first 5 minutes)
