  • Hey everyone! Here's the next episode of Chordplay with The Chords Of Stryper. I've had a number of requests to feature some of Stryper's music, but aside from that - this video also marks my six hundred and sixty-sixth video (666 = jinkies). So with the hope of offsetting any demonic forces at play during this lesson, I decided to finally feature Stryper - so let's dive in!
    This episode revolves around an assortment of music from Stryper's first three albums, and for anyone who's heard them, you know that these guys hit the scene with plenty of savage riffs, melodic tag-team shredding, and wicked guitar antics all over the place. From extended soloing, harmonized parts, dropped tunings, pinch harmonics, roaring power chords, and much more - early Stryper music definitely had a little hellfire hiding in it.
    The music and chord-based examples in this lesson include tracks such as Free, Calling On You, More Than A Man, Loud N Clear, Rockin' The World, and Soldiers Under Command (to name a few). There are plenty of power chord-based riffs hiding in this episode, but there are also a couple of wicked harmonized guitar parts/songs too - so needless to say, you already have your work cut out for you with this one.
    If you're a Stryper fan, a fan of 1980s hard rock music, or a player searching for some new rhythm guitar and chord-based ideas to stick into their bag of tricks - this episode is totally for you!

    Great band overall. I was fortunate to see and meet the original band a few times, Most recently in 2012 as one of my old friends was working for them.
    Oz is an immensely talented and down to earth, Seriously humble and nice dude. Tim and Robert are sweethearts as well and great players. Michael, Good front man, Singer and writer. Unfortunately I can't say much good beyond that for him.
    This isn't the place to bash on people so I won't.
    They were always a great sounding unit live.
    Perry from Firehouse is their bassist now I believe of the last few years.

    Stryper was my first show. Saw them in Chicago at the Bismarck Theater in 1985 (I think). We played covers of a couple of their songs ( I played guitar and sang, I had a high voice back then). They were great. Armored Saint opened and we're pretty good but man Stryper killed. My best friend John got a Bible they threw out. I remember they had stacks of marshalls but I got to the front of the stage and Oz was actually using a small Peavey combo miked up! All that sound from just a little Peavey. Lol. Edit: thanks for bringing them up. So far Razorfist, Ben Eller, and you have given them some love.

    I'll have to check out Stryper again. I've been into heavy metal since I was a little kid, and about the time I got turned onto Stryper I had really gotten into a lot heavier stuff, so I didn't give it as much of a listen as I probably should have. I listen(ed) to everything pretty much, but there are some really heavy Christian bands out there for people who are religious and love the heavy stuff. Bands like Deliverance, Mortification, Vengeance Rising, Tourniquet, are all really great heavy Christian bands even if you're not into the religious part of it. I'll have to go back and hear some Stryper again. Thanks for the lesson, as always, Dave!

    Christian metal. A genre oxymoron if there was ever one. Rebellious, but not too rebellious I guess.
    The big hair MTV thing from the USA did not really take hold here in NZ when I was a Gen X'er teen. We saw all the make up, perms, lace and pantihose, posing, bottom wiggling, i.e., proto-twerking by squealing blokes, and thought "WTF is that sh!t all about?". We went directly from AC/DC and Iron Maiden to Metallica and Megadeth etc. Then sometimes Soundgarden etc (lots got into techno and rave stuff too, especially the formerly metal females if they were still out in the wild).
    The hair bands had some very cool guitar riffs though, e.g., Dokken etc. If only CD players had a button to mute the vocals, cut out the cheesy choruses, and then loop the good riffs and solos hehe.
