For years..Every like 6 months I return to this video. I fucking love Michael keene.
What's up dude I know u!!
Brian Serotta Cheers!
So how y’all know each other
This dude is a godly composer
minor triads + accidentals + dissonance = satan
hahahahahaha
What does he mean by accidentals?
+Fonzo Hernandez
Chromatic notes
+ slightly out of tune I guess...? What the hell was that
not sure how to explain, he clearly demonstrates the concept at 1:18
those chords in sons of belial are so SICK man, beautiful
Dudes a god damn genius.
best three finger guitarist I have ever heard!
2:54 he went full Nick Cage right there.
HAHAHAHAH I NEVER THOUGHT ABUOT IT THAT WAY but damnnnnnn u rite u rite tho
That’s oddly accurate
i don't use my pinky either. i also don't play guitar
Lmao!!
Those chords at 4:00 like explain my existence ahahah, man so layered and flavorful. I can't stand people that discredit metal. These guys are technical and soul gods.
He'd rather tap than just USE HIS DAMN PINKY
he needs to tap for the second sweep anyway so why shouldn't he already place his hand like that before?
Michael Keene is the proof that you don't need more than 6 strings to be fucking heavy
+Thrashmetalkicksass Opeth is the proof that you don't need to down tune to be heavy
+Thrashmetalkicksass Sylosis is keeping it heavy too, in standard tuning ;)
+Thrashmetalkicksass lamb of god is proof you don't down tuning or more than 6 strings to be heavy
yeah but 10 string is heavier
+Jerrylee Stewart-Gonzalez Lamb of God uses drop D tuning.
Hope you get over yr addiction.
Yr absolutely an amazing composer and artist. And one helluva guitar player. Yr last record was beyond amazing.
I'm ready for the sequel.
Snap out of it dude.
Equivs to prayers on yr recovery...for real.
@George James is it so hard to stfu?
Oh wait I mean
"shut the fuck up"..?
There see? I even spelled it out for ya fucknut...
I really wish he would do more of these videos. I’d love to see his genius in action. Such a ridiculous player and writer.
I´ve always loved his harmonic progressions and linear soloing. So this video is a huge delight for me. The Faceless are the non cheesy version of Dream Theater. Especially if you take Autotheism.
The way he makes chords has had such an impact on the way I make my walking bass lines. I play prog rock/electronic rock stuff. THANK YOU MICHEAL KEENE
Michael is an extremely gifted musician. I have a healthy jealousy his finely-honed skills. He's a damn good looking dude, too.
it seems to me that you like weinkeys. McPeppy, check out 'BTBAM Best solos' for a taste of the glory! See what it tastes like!
Last part was weird AF but okay
📸
yeah he's gorgeous, no homo tho.
@@SkateSmokeAndDrumbit of light homophobia?
dudes a fucking beast.
That ain't no fucking joke.
Zachary Branham u speak the truth. he is a true master of the class.
jubzz insaine That he is. I also feel he is terribly underrated.
Zachary Branham Eh I wouldn't say that. The Faceless are very big in the metal scene and Michale Keene is a widely known name.
the sons of belial ending solo is the most beautiful thing the faceless has ever written
Watching this many times throughout the years, finally grabbed my guitar and tuned to drop C. Those chords are so much harder to play clean than he makes it look, gives me a deeper respect for his skills.
One of my favorite metal guitarists.
i Love listening to guitarists talk about music cuz we all have our own names for things so depending on the musician you talking with/listening to depends on the vocabulary you gotta know.
LOVE THAT TEE!!! WAY TO GO SIR MICHAEL KEENE!!
That tone is so sick.
True!
Me, nodding along, pretending I understand: "Ah yes, accidentally triad minor, yes, yes of course"
one of my favorite bands
God that lineup, man.... this is still my biggest inspiration and you can hear it in the way I play. I fucking miss the faceless, this and akeldama faceless
Akeldama is my favorite, but all their albums have good songs. Instrumental illness is so fucking good
That opening riff from the Ancient Covenant is so dope!
Michael Keene and AJ Minette are so under rated :(
Michael Keene is unbelievable
that's a beautiful finish on that guitar
digging the NIN shirt, great video!
Amazing.
Oh so NOW you send me these RUclips 😤😤😤
Where TF were you 6 years ago!!!
Same
"and that is.. the riff :3" hahahahah
The point he makes at 3:51... awesome. I may need to try some drop tuning. Started looking into this guy as a curiosity and now I'm learning some cool things from him!
ha 10 years later and I'm thinking the same, never heard anyone say that about playing in drop tuning. usually it's just about the chugs, but he's talking about chord extensions. interesting.
Very nice BRJ
This dude was nice enough to actually sign my Ibanez... stil haven't fully recovered from how much my jaw dropped lol
love his tone
Hey guys, there's a link to tabs of all examples in the description!
nope, you liar
Pretty sure that tapping run is from Autotheist Movement III no?
excelente! muy bueno para estudiar los temas :3!
thank you!!!
Im so keened out
Finally!
If my shitty explaining will help you in any way, basically an accidental is a note that doesn't really belong in a scale or mode. For example a C Maj scale is CDEFGABC, so if you play C-C#-D-D#-E-F, the C# and D# would be accidentals since you don't see them in a C Maj scale.
Triads are the basic fundamental notes of a chord/arpeggio. An A Maj chord is made of the notes AC#E. Play those 3 notes in succession and you're playing an A Maj triad. Hope that helped a bit.
The song of the intro is Planetary Duality I
his voice is makes me feel like I'm taking guitar lessons from lumpy space princess... Great lesson, he is such a talented music composer.
Fuck. The chords he was playing. So beautiful and badass
Planetary Duality I (Hideous Revelation) but that is just the intro for Planetary Duality II (A Prophecies Fruition). Hope it helps.
its a single note, which is called a root, (since the chord is built upon starting with that note).. with an added flat 3rd, and a 5th.
I dont wanna be a dick but this is one of the first riffs I learned I'm not kidding
its his custom Bernie Rico Jr guitar. He also uses a green Washburn wm526.
Love the minor-major 7th chord use
I always liked him
Yeah I just recently started using a metronome and I didn't realize how much it helped. :D
no one commented on the bernie rico jr, hes not using the washburn
The 1:32 sweeps weren't maj 7 right? That sounds minor like the 2 first chords
@alex villa it's planetary duality part 1
Man i remember seeing these guys in toronto back 2009 with veil of maya, they were fuckin savage and blew us away even for a small crowd of 100
I've watched this video a lot
go listen to their music and you tell us but i am gonna go out on a limb and say he is a beast by far 1 of my favorite guitarist's
thenaks for the swift replly !
I’ll not even learn it but I like to watch every detail
does anyone knows what song its on the intro at 0:10 ?
Watching this in 2020... in 1080p! Did you guys had cinema cameras back then? Most videos from 2012 are crusty potato quality.
+Daniel K. A spy chord is minor chord with a major 7. Austin Powers. Also a C-shape major7 chord with a #5 sounds pretty james bond.
Glad somebody else noticed!
thnx!
i actually like the intro song for guitar messenger whats the song called?
Bernie Jr guitars are all sick as hell i hope i can afford one some day, a man can dream right?
Tapping riff at 5:00 is the solo tapping section in the song Deconsecrate xD
Good...!!
why cant i make it sound like that when i'm going forward to the higher strings???
In the intro section? Planetary Duality I.
Flat third is the barr and the fifth is the ring?
Like the NIN shirt.
That Bernie Rico Jr. guitar finish is ballin
thx
Do you think the majority of metal guys know theory?And those people who gave 30 thumbs up on the comment that a Minor maj7 chord is fancy?Anyone who knows the bare minimum theory knows that shit.All the basic chords minor,major and dominant with all the extensions.Knowing them is easy.Using them to sound good is another story.And Keene uses them very well.
Is that your BRJ as well or Keene's? Either way it's a killer looking guitar. It's making me look at BRJ more and more everyday hahah.
Love those chords. Piggy would surely approve.
dunno if anybody has asked it yet but what's the song in the beginning of he video
anyone know what exact model b.c. that is?
this man knows his theory
it can also be looked at as a g major 7. both are correct
the tapping technique is from michael romeo
Is it possible to share this patch?
Genius.
anyone knows what pick he uses¡?
he's not using his pinky ?
yeah that's odd... isn't it alot more difficult if you don't use your pinky?
pretty sure he hurt his pinky and doesn't have full movement in it.
Bernie Rico guitars are that awesome??
I'm new to The Faceless so forgive me when I ask, what's the song playing in the intro?
Planetary Duality I (Hideous Revelation)
Thanks buddy
i believe hes using a bernie rico jr not shure of the model but i think its a jekyll
💙👍👌👴❤💙💚💗💖for Face less!!!!!
dear guitarmessenger, what did michael keene play through in this vid. it sounds killer
Why did this video have to end
I talked to him about it in chicago, it was an injury. he seemed kinda bummed out when i asked him(or just tired and hungry). I think it may have advanced his playing and style.
what's the song in the begining called? thanks!
He mentions drop tuning, but what IS the tuning?
What's that thing at the top of the headstock?
