    To all the people saying "wow, Alexi should use these ideas, too bad he can write this good".... Every one of these licks comes from an Alexi Laiho riff, lead, or melodic phrase.

    Although I have personally made a tab for this solo, currently we're still working on how to include them with the DVDs, in the meantime, Andy teaches this solo note for note on the DVD, so check that out :)

  • @licklibrary

    Although we don't currently include tab, Andy takes you through each lick telling you the fret numbers one note at a time.

    @LedKenji666
    The entire solo is pretty much "Living Dead Beat"
    There are a few parts that are not exactly "Laiho-ish" but for the most part, he nailed it. This could pass off as a new Bodom song if i didn't know better.
    1:00 - 1:40 is exactly a Laiho lead.

    Essential Guitar Practice Routines: Sweep Picking DVD by Andy James could be just the treat :)

  • @licklibrary
    @licklibrary  13 лет назад

    @Bguitars724 Hi there, well analysing a solo / solos or a guitarists writting, is basically learning and taking a series of solos/ songs you like and breaking them down into chunks, you'll soon see if there are any similarities any techniques he uses often. You mix this in with your own licks and you grow into your own sound and own solos. Does that make sence?

  • @licklibrary
    @licklibrary  13 лет назад

    @kevincole1 Hi there - all our dvds show you how to play all of the above note for note breaking it all down. Hope that helps? Let us know if you need anymore info, just click the link in the description or the pop up throughout the video to head over to the product page.

  • @licklibrary
    @licklibrary  11 лет назад

    Yeah, currently it's just the one lesson unfortunately. I obviously can't talk prices here because they could change in a year and they're different in different territories for licencing reasons, but if you click buy you'll be able to see the price of the item in your cart :)

  • @licklibrary
    @licklibrary  14 лет назад

    @Heroeshere unfortunately you need licenses to do TAB and we don't have that type of license. :( I know it is handy to have tab at your side to refer to but the beauty of it being a dvd is that you can pause - rewind - rewatch. Plus the tutors do break down sections of the licks to teach you.

  • @licklibrary
    @licklibrary  11 лет назад

    No, Andy doesn't speak Spanish and we don't offer voiceover translation because it's not something people have asked for. There's no need to worry though as Andy shows you every lick one note at a time :)

    @miramar2011 Hi, with this DVD we only teach you the guitar solos. You do not get taught the chords or drums. The chords and drums you are hearing in the background is the 'Jam Track' that is supplied with the DVD. Hope that helps.

    @riseagainstrul33 Hi there, yes the dvd this piece comes on is a full lesson on various licks that Andy has created in the style of Alexi Laiho. He does go through the licks at a pace where you can follow him, breaking down each section -plus you can always pause the DVD at any section your not 100% sure about. hope that answers your question.

  • @licklibrary
    @licklibrary  11 лет назад

    It's something we're seriously working on, the only problem is (as you mention) getting it to everyone who already purchased the DVD, it's a really sticky one but we're bouncing some ideas around

  • @licklibrary
    @licklibrary  13 лет назад

    @miramar2011 Hi there - with the Quicks licks DVD what your taught is around 30 licks the chords and drums are the Jam track that comes on the DVD for you to play along to once you master all the licks.

    or the MH-1000 (with 'normal' bridge, NO FloydRose )
    the price is nearly the same, so what would you people recommend?

  • @johnsafox2
    @johnsafox2 12 лет назад +1

    That's a pretty incredible reproduction of his style. If someone posted this video claiming it was a CoB guitar tutorial video the only way I'd know it wasn't is the absence of the ring finger snake tattoo or whatever it is. Well, that and this is about twice as clean as most videos of Alexi playing. Pretty amazing playing.

    @Testamented91 14 лет назад

    @supadubadude Someone said it, but I have to say it too. Almost every lick from this video is actually something alexi already used. I can understand why you dont hear it tho, I didnt hear it the first time I watched this video (bad ears) but now, its more than obvious, to me at least...
    Cheers!

  • @Lateralus6661
    @Lateralus6661 12 лет назад

    @Bguitars724 Instead of learning guitar by tab, use a transposing software to show you the actual music of it. Most soloists in metal usually revolve around pentatonic scales, major and minor scales (depending on happier or sadder sounds), and a ton of variations of diminished and augmented scales (mostly sweeps). It really helps a ton to actually know the theory behind what you're playing instead of guessing numbers.

  • @supadubadude
    @supadubadude 13 лет назад

    ok, so im hearing a lot of people keep telling me "you must not listen to a lot of cob cause this sounds exactly like alexi" and "this sounds like a lot of his solos put together". 1: i ACTUALLY listen to a lot of cob thats why i actually commented on this video saying what i did, i know that there are lots of alexi elements in this, but i was simply saying that this composition as a whole is not exactly like alexi.

  • @BloodRelic101
    @BloodRelic101 14 лет назад

    am not sure if its just me, but it seems to be, this guy is great an everything, but 2 words - hair tie. After i learn ANYTHING whatsoever on guitar, the next step is to get it CLEAN!, especially with string skipping tapping u get the most background noise, why does no one care when he uses a hair tie in EVERY video? if he can play without one an is just using it for making sure the demonstration is 100 % accurate then fair enough, but still, this video is about playing like another CORRECTLY

  • @G27dude
    @G27dude 13 лет назад

    @bcfblack I think it's stupid to say someone has no feeling in their music. If they're willing to work, as hard as someone like Andy does, to be heard in the guitar world, then they must have a lot of love for music. Everyones definition of feeling isn't slow, bendy, solos. Plus this isn't exactly his primary style anyways...lol

  • @supadubadude
    @supadubadude 14 лет назад

    this was most diffenetly not Alexi Laiho style except for the sweeps and thats about it, i honestly can't see alexi playing like that and andy dosent even have a tremolo bar on that guitar, and thats one of alexi's favorite toys on a guitar, im not trying to degrade andy or anything because he's an AWEMAZING player, i really just dont think that this was very alexi laiho-ish.

  • @simonpvo2
    @simonpvo2 14 лет назад

    Here is a little criticism from me. I must admit that some of th licks reminded me of Alexi, but there was definitely also some who didnt. At all i thought it was a pretty good Alexi Laiho "Cover". The backingtrack didnt really sound like COB, but thats not that important, i guess

    It'd be pretty easy to fry a burger under the sea, all you need to do is save up enough money to buy a submarine. It would much harder for Alexi to do this stuff!

    don't correct him,he just said something stupid,Alexi is one of the best guitarists in the world,he could EAT this solo and fry it under the sea on amp in the same time :D
