I'm very new to guitar and can't tremolo pick yet. Just attempting the first section gave me chills. The sound is almost there! I actually bought your BM course but it's way to advanced for me at the moment. Trying to learn a few cool riffs to motivate me. You're awesome Simon.
0:09 It's tuned at 432rp, fun fact: some earlier second wave bands used E standard with different pitches like Mayhem also used 432rp on their de mysteriis dom sathanas album and people believe Varg Vikernes of burzum used 450rp on filosofem but Varg stated that he never tuned his guitar when he bought it
wow, you are really versatile! You've got alot of black metal(which is awesome) and then I saw John Mayer and Coldplay. LOL I am subbing for the metal and gear stuff. *horns up*
+Simon Smith no problem! Wow - I have been playing this song so wrong... LOL I have a crappy version of me playing Mayhem's "Freezing Moon" somewhere on my channel; some Electric Wizard too. (and my original music as well - Goetic Circle is my one-man occult/doom band)
@diabolivirtusen-tavares-ea4645 . Never get time anymore had a baby. Sold all my guitars or traded for guns. Started collecting guns instead of guitars
Thank you so much I love this song! In fact, it might be one of my favorites from Dark Throne now that I think about it. I'm just starting out with chromatics and scales and this is something fun and simple to break up the practice monotany every once in a while!
я подписался брат во тьме! потому что кроме первого риффа я подобрал по другому не так эпично. что из этого следует ? что твои риффы правильные. радуй нас и дальше своими подборами ибо мы вечное хотим тоже воспроивести!!!
+Damon Cook A lot of bands didn't bother tuning with a tuner, just tuned by ear so all guitars and basses were in tune with each other, but not at standard tuning.
Hello Simon. Could you please tell me how to set the eq so to create the proper darkthrone sound? I am using a Traynor amp and a Digitech Death Metal pedal. Also, the notes on the D string of the main chords are "buried" due to the open A. Is it a problem of my tremolo picking? Thanks.
Kj H the thing is, its not. If doing 2 strings is a problem than you are doing something wrong. try to be gentle(dont pick too deep), it shout go like a hot knife trought the butter. Doing 3 strings or more is hard becquse of more hand movement but one or two should be easy forr you.
Thank you Simon for takeing your time to teach us to play!!!!....could you do a video for a Black metal band called Happy Days....song:broken....if you could ...it would be much appreciated.... thanks again brother!!!!!
Hi man! I really like your work, it helps me alot! By the way, Im trying to figure out occult heavy metal guitar playing (like In Solitude and The Oath) but Im not that good with guitar just yet...could you maybe add some In Solitude lessons, it would really help me. anyways cheers from Slovenia!:D
HELLO Simon, thank you for all your videos and everything else. I have other songs that I would like to learn but my level of shit does not allow it yet! If you like the songs I'm going to write it would be a pleasure to see them made by you to learn them later :) my ideas are/ Bergrizen -Die With Your God!/ Lied der Rache Mistur - Attende. Burzum-Fallen-Jeg Faller. Satyricon - Immortality Passion Belenos - Morfondu Nyktalgia - Nyktalgia tortured by solitude Peste Noire - L'ordure À L'état Pur ... ...
I'm surprised you didn't use 2 to play the e on the d-string in the second riff. Not having to switch strings with index finger would make fast riffs like this much easier to play. Maybe I'm just stupid 😂

It's a bit lower than normal tuning (E A D G B E). So all you need to do is tune it like normal, then just tune it down a bit. (Not like a step lower, don't go to D# for E, for example.) Just tune to E, then go down a bit less than 1 fret. It's not really conventional, so it's not like it has to be exact or anything.
Also, I should add, in case you don't know it yet, you can do relative tuning with the 5th fret method. Just tune a bit down on the 6th string, then use the 5th fret method to get everything in harmony. This link is a good rundown on how to do it: www.guitarchordsmagic.com/how-to-tune-a-guitar.html Or just use a chromatic tuner if you have one.
I can't get over how beautiful this song is
+Viking0327 Great isn't it

So simple, Yet so much feeling.
Black metal sounds so damn good. You're a great teacher
Thanks mate
I already mastered the part from 0:12 to 0:48.
And I don't know how to tune the guitar
congrats, disciplined practice will do that!!!
tremolo picking creates such good atmosphere in metal music in general D:
Thanks to you I learned to play most of the songs I love. Thanks!!! Long live black metal !!!!
I'm amazed by how simple this is
thanks a lot! you're amazing teacher! greetings from Russia, please take care of yourself in such dark times
You too brother
Hell yea! I can play transilvanian hunger now! Thanks man love your tutorials 🤘🏼
There’s something devastating about the main riff
Such emotion
Yeah, seems like someone is gonna die and have their ribs used strangely....
True!
Dude is fast becoming my favorite guitar guru!🤘
You're the best black metal teacher of all time🤘🏻❤️

Although it's 2020 mate..... This song still great and noice teaching lessons
I was having trouble figuring out that song... Thank you so much!
Im a total black metal noob so I wanna say THANK YOU for this awesome tutorial
My pleasure my friend!
You're the best Simon, one of my favourite TNBM songs
awesome (:, you should do inquisition - command of the dark crown
Thanks for the video, your version of the third riff is the only one that sounds right to me.
So much fun to play. Love all your vids Simon. So helpful .
Thanks mate
Ótimas as suas aulas. Sempre aprendo algo novo. Parabéns!! Você toca alguma do Sarcófago aqui do Brasil?
Definitely my favorite dark throne song just so soothing. Just learned it on guitar
Still playing guitar? It can be frustrating.... I started in 1998... quit and came back to it in 2004 playing ever since

why are some of these songs slightly lower than standard

the slow version sounds like the intro to Boreal Fiends
im learning guitar and thanks man your vids help me alot! thanks!
Thank You. It's Helpful.
Great tutorial! Thanks!
+omvalta No probs
Hello Simon. Could you please tell me how to set the eq so to create the proper darkthrone sound? I am using a Traynor amp and a Digitech Death Metal pedal. Also, the notes on the D string of the main chords are "buried" due to the open A. Is it a problem of my tremolo picking? Thanks.
Will you please do enter the eternal fire by Bathory. Bonus points for equimanthorn
Just thank you man!
Great lesson. Thank you. \m/
Man, i really love you, thanks a lot!

hahahah, like a partner lml

can someone tell me how to tremolo pick two strings ? its so difficult
+John IsTheOne Practice. Correction. Patience. Repetition.
Kj H the thing is, its not. If doing 2 strings is a problem than you are doing something wrong. try to be gentle(dont pick too deep), it shout go like a hot knife trought the butter. Doing 3 strings or more is hard becquse of more hand movement but one or two should be easy forr you.
Kj H Think of it as tremolo strumming instead of tremolo picking and perfect it from there. Looser grip, wider strikes
NunyerBusiness Question. At which angle should I pick a single string?
Kj H just feel the music brother
Thanks, saludos desde Colombia
Can you link to a pic for the settings on the VS Jekyll & Hyde? I picked one up for the Strokes but man, it's cool it can do Darkthrones/BM riffs too!
So long ago that I recorded this, that I can't remember the settings. Sorry dude

OOOOO THANK YOU SO MUCH....you are the best...rly you are the best.....you helped me much
+giorgos maiden Glad to hear :0)
I can't tremolo pick on 2 strings with my wrist, so I use my elbow.
Is that ok or would it be better with my wrist ?
All depends on feel. Zakk Wylde uses his elbow/arm.
Thanks 👍
I fucking Swear I love this vídeos....
Thanks mate
Thanks man!
so siple i was overduing it :)
Thank you very much!
+North Dawn My pleasure!
I always struggled to figure out the 2nd riff, thanks! btw, at this moment there are 999 likes XD
How did you get that Sound?

Hey thanks a lot for this amazing guitar lesson. I have one question though. Is tuning half step down? Or is it a quarter step down?
+SuperSatanicSaint I think it's a half (or there abouts)
Thanks a lot mate. Your videos are helping me a lot.
@@SimonSmithGuitar 1/2 down in every string?

whats The name of The tuning?
slightly lower than E... it's not standard E and it's not half steps down tuned either. It's in between.
I'm surprised you didn't use 2 to play the e on the d-string in the second riff. Not having to switch strings with index finger would make fast riffs like this much easier to play. Maybe I'm just stupid 😂

Which camera do you use brother? Thanks for the br00tal content
Song is so beautiful but definitely gives me carpal tunnel after a while it makes it seem down picking Metallica seem easy
life deprived by old mans child
After this song your wrist will say f*ck you, i'm leaving
I didn't understand the tuning
It's just slightly out of tune. To say the least.
Thank you! 🤘
