He was one hell of a guitar player and vocalist. His music got me through difficult times, and I will never forget exploring their music when I first got into them.
Got me through some hard times too. Watched the Stockholm Syndrome show on dvd every day whils't in Iraq. Kept me sane and realised life at home is so much better.
He passed away way too young, dude. Shame on that, he was such a talented musician. May his soul rest in peace, you were awesome Alexi, there'll be no one else like you.
Man, alcohol fucking sucks. I watched it destroy this man for years and finally his body just couldn't take it anymore. Love you Alexi, RIP brother. We will ALWAYS remember your amazing music!
@@pascalschulz5894 I may be wrong but from what I undestand he didn't drink much anymore, but I guess all the years of heavy drinking might have left him with some health issues that ultimately played a part in his death. Won't know for sure though unless someone who actually knows what happened decides to tell us later. For now I havent seen anyone telling the public his actual cause of death.
You could tell his health was deteriorating dramatically by his appearance recently. I hadn't paid attention to CoB stuff in years, but about two months ago I came across a video of Alexi, and my first thought was "wow, he doesn't look good." So as sad as it is to say, I wasn't totally shocked to hear of his passing.
Alexi has always been my favorite musician! I have to say though, I don't think teaching was his calling. In all his instructional videos, he's just like, yea and do this and whatever, you know? Its so funny. Forever missed!
Doesnt matter, all matters that alexi did that and all other stuff amazingly and it sounds amazing. Dont need to know terms to know that cob was a great band \m/ rip Alexi wildchild laiho, but you will live in our heart forever
fuck it man, he gave what he wanted to give and died the wat he wanted to. i respect that. RIP alexi. you changed so many lives whislt you can. live free and die young brother
It's one of the hardest instruments to teach, especially if the student is into bodom or similar, he shows you exactly what to play, if you can do it at speeds 😎
I wish time would have frozen for Alexi during 2003, when he was at the top of his health, skills and youth. R.I.P. Alexi Laiho, I will ALWAYS remember you, forever.
@@av8644 well i saw them a bunch once with roope he only saw them once and we're no longer friends jordan clark spread a rumor that i'm on the spectrum
I don't think I ever heard him speak like this other than in live shows. I think I'm a couple years older than him yet I looked up to him. I was lucky to see COB live once when they toured with Dimmu and Hypocrisy in the US. I feel that if I had the chance to talk to him, we would have talked about the stuff in this video. He passed away too young. I wish he was still here making music.
I remember watching this tutorial when I was a kid and thought I would never be able to do something like this. Alexi laiho was someome that I looked up to. RIP
Summary of the video Uh yeh. so umm..uhhh this like arpeggio uhhh thing.. uhh e flat uhh diminished... uh just fucking playing like this uhhh yeh its crazy.
Well it's basically Alexis interpretation of a Randy Rhoads Jackson, you can get those pretty cheap and just stick to the bridge pickup and put in an EMG 81 or similar. That will get you very close to an Alexi Flying V in looks, sound and feel. These Randy style Vs are awesome. Well balanced, light, durable, easy to produce with high quality for lower cost and with a Randy V (like JS32 RR 300 bucks) you still have the neck pickup if you want to play some other music since it's a great guitar in general. I plan on getting two, one will br loaded with Randy style pickups, maybe a little less spicey and the other one I'll stick my EMGs in for an Alexi and general purpose metal guitar.
What kind of guitar is he having in this video? LTD? Isn't he supposed to be playing ESP? (I know it's the same company but still, as far as I know, LTD is ESP "limited" or lower quality ESPs so yeah, he should be playing ESP, not LTD for sure)
Why is there such a difference in tone when him and Roope play, no matter what amp or guitar they use? There has to be something else they aren't mentioning on the topic of gear
I used to chase Bodom/Stone/sinergy tones, building racks even had a GP-1000 at one time. Nowadays, it´s stupid simple. A handfull of Boss pedals, a wah, and the Marshall. Only thing is you gotta have that preamp circuitry installed in your guitar. ESP MM-04 is supposedly better than the new EMG stuff.
It doesn't matter, this is advanced level guitar, and if you're attempting it, you shouldn't need every last detail pointing out - in fact that can be irritating sometimes. if you haven't already, check out Chris Zoupa I think he's one of the best advanced teachers on RUclips.
I agree that he doesn't break things down note by note, string by string, fret by fret. but I like the way he teaches. People watching this lesson shouldn't need him to go through it at snail pace, people learning these sweep licks should already be at an advanced level anyway

I second that! His music really got me through difficult times
He passed away way too young, dude.
Shame on that, he was such a talented musician.
May his soul rest in peace, you were awesome Alexi, there'll be no one else like you.
Rip alexi you inspired alot of players 🙏 and you have a legacy behind you that will be hard to follow for anyone
I'm going to become a musician some day to make Alexi's legacy live on, he was my ultimate hero :(
@@wildchild01ok I agree im learning not my funeral and im try and make a RUclips video to pay respect
Alexi inspired me to play the guitar. I still remember the first song I learnt was Bed of Razors. RIP legend.
D""x me toooooo!!!
Man, alcohol fucking sucks. I watched it destroy this man for years and finally his body just couldn't take it anymore. Love you Alexi, RIP brother. We will ALWAYS remember your amazing music!
so alcohol was the cause of death?
@@keyboardwarria there is no official Statement about what actually killed him yet, but I guess his alcohol abuse played a big part in it.

@@tino6176 "anymore" yeah at the end dude already hit the bottle super hard, slammed so much, it didn't matter if he stopped.

He showed some exercises in slow motion and we just should have a basis in guitar.
"Oh, we're doing a thing where I need to talk into a microphone? Better wear my loudest bracelets."
Haha lol!
He was an Yngwie fan. Barely makes a sound in comparison. Yngwie you can hear rattle and jingle from miles away.
Rest in peace.. a true musician. True guitar hero
That guitar looks like it appeared with him at birth. R.I.P Alexi.
4 in the morning and this one gets me
RIP I MISS YOU SO MUCH! I wish I could've seen you perform live!
Dear Alexi Laiho, your songs and melodies will live forever in our souls. Rest In Music, Wildchild. 🖤 🤘🏻
RIP Alex Laiho 🖤 thank you for sweep picking warmups
alexi my heart is eternally broken... miss u friend thanks for blessing me
RIP. Thanks for the lesson, Alexi!
One of my all-time favorite musicians
Thanks alexi very cool!
half the people in this comment section never heard a diminished scale
what's that?
@@keyboardwarria diminished scale
Doesnt matter, all matters that alexi did that and all other stuff amazingly and it sounds amazing. Dont need to know terms to know that cob was a great band \m/ rip Alexi wildchild laiho, but you will live in our heart forever
Everyone has, they just don’t know it
When he first starts playing it makes me think of the duel between him and Janne on Stockholm knockout live
fuck it man, he gave what he wanted to give and died the wat he wanted to. i respect that. RIP alexi. you changed so many lives whislt you can. live free and die young brother
It's one of the hardest instruments to teach, especially if the student is into bodom or similar, he shows you exactly what to play, if you can do it at speeds 😎
he is the reason i started playing guitar back in 2008 :D
D"x me toooooo!!!!
R.I.P Alexi,Love you a lot.You live on my man.
He's the greatest guitarists since Dime. If there's someone else, I missed it. It was second nature to him.
Not even close, Loomis does this kind of stuff on steroids.
I wish time would have frozen for Alexi during 2003, when he was at the top of his health, skills and youth. R.I.P. Alexi Laiho, I will ALWAYS remember you, forever.
i know someone that saw them before hate crew deathroll was released

Rip Alexi, Love your kick ass style.
Miss this dude - he was one of the few shred guitarists who's style I liked.
Rip legend
that's a beautiful guitar
Alexi laiho Thank you so much. It was always my inspiration.
Skwisgaar haves gotten betters at the English and teaching of Guitarz. Big Wow!
Miss you dude.
Un genio! Cuánta falta hará su música!
"That should be crazy enough, at least for today."
Alexi from COB/BAM, Josh from sylosis, and Takayashi from babymetal..the only 3 who's sweep pick on the another levels.
Very nice
I fucking love that guitar in that color
Oh i didnt know he passed..Rip brother.How did he pass?
Family hasn't specified, all we know is that it was due to some long lasting health issues.
That is a sick LTD what’s the model?!?
LTD Alexi-600 Blacky. I think they were only made between 2009-2011?
Summary of the video
Uh yeh. so umm..uhhh this like arpeggio uhhh thing.. uhh e flat uhh diminished... uh just fucking playing like this uhhh yeh its crazy.
Hahaha yes!
Keep in mind he is finnish
Translated to Finnish: ööö tota joo nii juu tota ööö
RIP Alexi
You know... you know... you know...
Rip Legend \m/
🔥 Finnish isn't even an Indo-European language,
yet his English was flawless with no accent.
🔥 Oh, & he was fluent in the universal language of music.
That was a good lesson
Thanks Alex
This LTD V is the most metal guitar ever,those matt black finished n yeah,it made me speechless by the looks.... Will they put it into NAMN 2k21??
Well it's basically Alexis interpretation of a Randy Rhoads Jackson, you can get those pretty cheap and just stick to the bridge pickup and put in an EMG 81 or similar.

At 3:05 Did he say B sharp? 🤤
D#
The Local Band, I actually like them so much :D
I feel everything!
Except myself... It's crazy!
Same
how does he sweep with a bridge pickup
not hard if you are used to it
sweeping sounds way cleaner with a neck pick up tho
you shouldn't have to bandaid it
I only sweep with my bridge it's harder and keeps me sharp.
He can because he knows how to mute correctly. It's not harder to sweep with bridge pickup if you can mute.
RIP legend
Awesome player R.I.P
need tabs, can someone help??
RIP, brother
Good grief 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
RIP Laiho ... \w/
He was the most amazing teacher I’ve ever seen!
Got to love Alexi big LOL :D
Love that he always painted his nails 🤘🏽🤘🏽
It is now
what guitar is that ?
ESP Alexi Blacky
What kind of guitar is he having in this video? LTD? Isn't he supposed to be playing ESP? (I know it's the same company but still, as far as I know, LTD is ESP "limited" or lower quality ESPs so yeah, he should be playing ESP, not LTD for sure)
Rip alexi🤘
Why is there such a difference in tone when him and Roope play, no matter what amp or guitar they use? There has to be something else they aren't mentioning on the topic of gear
i think the hands are a crucial factor for the tone

Rest In Peace Wildchild of Bodom 🤘🏻🌹🤘🏻
Miss you Alexi! FCK! TT-TT
That guitar is beautiful. , what brand and model is it ?
Literally played a B sharp at 3:03 - the absolute wildchild
Just missing a F flat
gracias
That damn fingers.. He's fuckin good
R.i.p alexi
cool man
I always admired his playing...but never listened to an album...any recommendations?
Hate Crew Deathroll and Follow the Reaper are my two faves
I prefer the early Bodom, Something Wild and Tokyo Warhearts/Hatebreeder.
HATEBREEDER
@@ragztheking thank you!!!
But he can play the C major chord?
The first chord sound like Hendrix style. 0:35
wild child 🤘🏻💔
👍👍👍
R.I.P Alexi Laiho
why is the guitar out of tune?
nobody wants to tune that piece of shit floyd to perfection
Yas
he is a good guitarist but he can only play not teach
he also doesn't naturally speak English. I like the way he teaches
It doesn't matter, this is advanced level guitar, and if you're attempting it, you shouldn't need every last detail pointing out - in fact that can be irritating sometimes.
if you haven't already, check out Chris Zoupa I think he's one of the best advanced teachers on RUclips.
Why do you say this? I think he explains very clearly what he's doing.
Alexis de Compreignac I believe the complete opposite.
I agree that he doesn't break things down note by note, string by string, fret by fret. but I like the way he teaches. People watching this lesson shouldn't need him to go through it at snail pace, people learning these sweep licks should already be at an advanced level anyway
R.i.p.
3:30 3:54
Ok... thank you, I guess
looks like he's smoked))
Trate de descargar pero no puedo hize una cuenta
Unbelievable man 🤦♀️
Just pointing out that people who cannot practice this without the explanation of every note, string and fret shouldn't even attempt this yet.
Basically
Christopher walken?
Man this chick can play
Really?
+Fred Garvin yes?
Ei taida olla Allun skeba oikein vireissä. B-)
+Sorrow Vii Kui
+Allu kuuntele
Only english comments please
@@labra-dog Alexi is Finnish, so basically Finnish is superior than English in this context, deal with it
just do that then you can do some of this it should be crazy
James Anderson i know right lol
This fool looks like Mick Mars in this vid. I love old Bodom, but I laughed my ass off at this video. Hahaha
+Brandon Bryson Awhhh! Want me to call the Wambulance?
Anyone notice his hand is literally shaking...maybe he is in a hangover..haha
wtf so noisy, not clean at all, sloppy, etc.
Jazzy Becker exactly
Alexi's best sober teaching is in the Rock house method series... here is a sample ruclips.net/video/giAjMjhGrwI/видео.html
Exactly like that one video you got playing that lame ass solo.
Our generation’s Chuck Schuldiner.🤘
Alexi is Great but check out instead Josh Middleton (Sylosis/Architects)
That guitar tho.
Close up cam it look`s like he was using Piano strings! R.I.P Missed 4 ever..
Not to soil his memory but this was not a great video. He "basically" just fumbled hisway through it
I love the guy. He just wasn't drunk enough to make sense.
