When I first started playing.....Everything was pentatonic and it didn't really make sense to me...Then Malmsteen and all the shredders came along in the 80's and that was more "linear" in the approach that I could understand....Then along comes Wes Hauch and blows everything out of the water....It sounds so abstract but so beautiful....It's a whole 'nother level of musicianship.....
Wes Thrailkill, it would be cool to see you use a seven string. Given how most of your songs explore the entire range of the guitar, you’ll put it to very good use.
I know this is very old but this definitely isn’t his tone from in the room like when you’re just playing yours at home. This is mixed and mastered and has at least two guitar tracks panned left and right. He can EQ what frequencies he wants more or less of and attaches hi/low tilt filters, compressor, limiter, etc in the chain. Plus he’s boosting the amp to get it this tight sounding.
Dude Wes has the best picking technique period. No wasted energy, no unnecessary movements. Dude I aspire to achieve this level of technique every day, I've been re-learning guitar with proper technique (especially my picking chops) applied as much as I possible and the changes after 15+ years of playing have been all positive. Have this dude and a video of his I stumbled across four or five years ago to thank for the motivation to put a mountain on the plateau I was walking across stagnantly for years. Cheers man.
Him and Jason Richardson are definitely the cleanest and most technical players that are out there in the metal scene. Inspiring that humans can attain this level of skill on guitar xD
It's kinda sad that Wes doesn't post on youtube (I know he's more active on FB/Instagram but come on !) He got that tight and dark-themed yet so bluesy style of riffing/soloing, you just can't help but fall in love with his playing For me he's so inspiring, and he's just the best !
Totally inspiring. Talented Musician and innovative Guitarist. This piece is cool. Really edgy, yet melodic and his playing is clean, crisp, and articulate. Those Chords ! a lot of feeling to his playing. I wasn't big on this amp first time I heard it, then after a few quality demos it's got to be one of the best Amps out there. If you're not experienced at playing, you could hurt yourself.
@Wes Hauch I'm pretty sure I speak for everyone here that we'd love a Kemper profile of that tone brutha! Especially that Mesa Tc Amp, whew wee that thing smokes! Official Kemper and helix profiles coming soon I hope?
Hey Wes, was just wondering whether you got that pickguard from Ibanez themselves or was it aftermarket? Looking at picking up this FR if I see one in the wild but fancy a way of getting around the active routing.
You have GOT to be kidding lol. Keene is washed up, dude prioritizes drugs over playing, the fans, being on time to his own gigs, etc etc. When I saw The Faceless live they were garbage. I mean don't get me wrong, Planetary Duality is one of my favorite metal albums of all-time. But The Faceless are done with.
Wow man ! Nice prod... I have the unmodded version so with EMG707. Are you getting more clarity with the SDs ? I’m running through 5150iii with a Mesa flux drive. I find that for chord that I need to strum more than 3 strings, it’s kind of muddy...lack of clarity. Maybe an EQ question but...you might have some advice here. Keep the good work man !
Metalheadblues thanks buddy but I already have a couple of ESPs with 81 at the bridge and 85 at the neck. Though I’m not able to get the same accuracy with the 707 than my bridge 81. Not criticizing 707 I feel that it’s more similar to my 85. For lead it’s perfect.
Sick
Rob Scallon thanks dude!
O my do I smell a rob scallon Wes hauch collab???
Wes Hauch O my do I smell a rob scallon Wes hauch collab???

One of the cleanest players alive.. or ever.
Kevin Horne shame only a handful of people know about him
I want that tone to sit on my face...
@DouglasQuade way to come in with your Line 6 Spider and shit on the party fart knocker.
@DouglasQuade I'd slap the shit out of you myself if the internet and this keyboard wasn't in the way
There’s more riffs in this song than most bands come up with in their whole careers.
Music Lover Yeah man I was literally just thinking he could’ve written a whole album out of the riffs in this track. This guy is god tier.
Ya don’t have to bash napalm deaths riffs like that
I aspire to achieve that level of action economy in my playing .
Taylor Littlefield, if I was a guitarist, I would too.
I aspire to stop economy and start spending millions in all sorts of things I do not need just because I want to do so
Incredible tone and playing as always! Thumbs up if you wanna see Wes rip through Gabrielle!
Yeah, this would be awesome!
Oh yes please 😢
Yes, please!
Yep
that tone is insane
Wes Thrailkill Dude! Your playing and tone is even better! I love your music man.
Wes Thrailkill, it would be cool to see you use a seven string. Given how most of your songs explore the entire range of the guitar, you’ll put it to very good use.
Seeing the Gojira shirt. Imagine Joe Duplatier singing on this.... Amazing playing Wes. Love that album so much.
One of the sickest metal tones I’ve ever heard. I can’t even get my JP2C to sound quite this good.
I know this is very old but this definitely isn’t his tone from in the room like when you’re just playing yours at home. This is mixed and mastered and has at least two guitar tracks panned left and right.

Wow. Putting 7-strings to good use. I *LOVE* the songwriting. Awesome.
and it still melts my face
I'm still coming back to this
Yup, still kicking ass
That solo has got to be one of my absolute favorites all time and I genuinely mean it. The album version sounds really great as does this.
I like listening to both its kinda cool hearing two different flows

This is probably the best solo I have heard in modern-era metal...
Wes could get a better tone through a Black & Decker toaster than I could get out of a Mesa amp.
I’m so glad you keep putting shit out! You’re seriously one of the best musicians we have in metal/guitar today. IMO
Him and Jason Richardson are definitely the cleanest and most technical players that are out there in the metal scene. Inspiring that humans can attain this level of skill on guitar xD
I rewatch this video all the time. The tones you get with your triple crown are inspiring.
Top-tier. One of the essential guitarists of our time.
Man, i love you fkn tone, high gain yet smoothie, with no scooped mids. Damn!
No one person on this planet writes music like Wes!
Wes is simply the best metal guitarist on the scene right now.
You're my absolute favorite player and christ this just reinforces that
That was insane. I love that album.
The girth on that tone... an absolute unit.
Those pickups sound amazing!
maaaaaaaaan, been waiting TOO LONG for a wes hauch vid
Sledge and scalpel hands. Mr Hauch is an incredible player! This video is a win for Mesa.
Please upload more videos to your channel. We love your playing, tone and music! :D
Bad ass and right to the point. Great tune, awesome tone. More please
You're my hero, dude. Outstanding as always!
this goes so hard I had to go back and listen to the album version good times back in high school listening to this
The world needs more Wes Haunchs to assult our ears with these heavy riffs. Phrasing on the solo is ridiculous
Dude you are one the best player alive today!!
I would love to see more videos from you
Dude amazing tunes, and your playing, c’mon man, buttery!
Man that tone is crushing! Love it
I just bought one of these amps and I love it, love Wes Hauchs playing, perfect combination, keep pushing the envelope brother 🤘
This is the man dont you forget that 😊
Just like to say Wes...you are inspiring a generation of metal guitarists with your awesome technique and chops
my fav guitarist insane tone and your hands speak! load more man we miss you! \m/
It's kinda sad that Wes doesn't post on youtube (I know he's more active on FB/Instagram but come on !)
He got that tight and dark-themed yet so bluesy style of riffing/soloing, you just can't help but fall in love with his playing
For me he's so inspiring, and he's just the best !
Wes you are dearly loved boyo
the tone is just amazing! tight playing as expected from you
Wes is back !!!!
That gain is throaty. Like a super gainy and tight jcm almost
jesus christ man, this is pure art. Greetings from Chile!!!
DAMN.......That was great guitar playing but your brain is even greater. Loved what you played. Thanks
Ive played one of these things,
Absolutely awesome.
Should we get you a prescription to buy antibiotics?
Loved how you use reverb for lead sounds.
Wes!! Your playing style, awesome guitar and song writing are outstanding🤘🏼 Wating for more videos to watch😎 Demasiado Brutal!!!
best song from alluvial
The master draws with bold strokes
Sick tone!
Damn this is sick. Gotta bust out my Sheet Happens book and start practicing
Impeccable!
Your badass bro , fo sure . Notched at the top 🎸
Perfection
nice playthrough!
I didn't think a Triple Crown could sound that great.....
Maaaaan its a new Wes video!!! Fuckin stoked!!
I bought the Alluvial tab book. It's currently in a glass case with "Break when ready" written on it.
Lmao I feel you. Ive got one as well.
Hey @wes, where did you get the pickguard for the FRIX7FEAH Ibanez model?! I can’t find it anywhere and want one like this!!!!
Totally inspiring. Talented Musician and innovative Guitarist. This piece is cool. Really edgy, yet melodic and his playing is clean, crisp, and articulate. Those Chords ! a lot of feeling to his playing. I wasn't big on this amp first time I heard it, then after a few quality demos it's got to be one of the best Amps out there. If you're not experienced at playing, you could hurt yourself.
So sick. Finally a proper tc-100 demo. Was this boosted?
Love your videos Wes, you're truly an inspiration! Keep rippin 🤘🔥
@Wes Hauch
I'm pretty sure I speak for everyone here that we'd love a Kemper profile of that tone brutha! Especially that Mesa Tc Amp, whew wee that thing smokes! Official Kemper and helix profiles coming soon I hope?
The best in the world
DUDE!!!!!!!!!!
Ludwig Colindres dude plus 1
nice wes!!!
A pleasure to watch as always.
Master Blaster!!!
Insane playing!!!
2021...this video still fkn rules !
Nice
I see your colors... and I ain't runnin. Hospitable
Hey Wes, was just wondering whether you got that pickguard from Ibanez themselves or was it aftermarket? Looking at picking up this FR if I see one in the wild but fancy a way of getting around the active routing.
Filming on this demo is awesome! Nothing can match the playing though...
phenomenal. super fucking dark shit i love it
Fuck yeah dude! Why does your technique have to be soo good?? Looks awesome!
Man.... THAT was bad ass !
Hy WES HAUCH ,
I was wondering who played in the amazing Duncan Custom 7' s clip ; I think it was you , fantastic and inspirational !
I fuckin love this
That Blue Channel is where I spend a lot of my high gain time with my own TC
Jesus if I love these riffs
Great guitar
Jus downrite badass brother✌️
Sick skill, nice video :)
The best (technical) modern metal guitarist along with Keene. All aspects!
You have GOT to be kidding lol.
Keene is washed up, dude prioritizes drugs over playing, the fans, being on time to his own gigs, etc etc.
When I saw The Faceless live they were garbage. I mean don't get me wrong, Planetary Duality is one of my favorite metal albums of all-time. But The Faceless are done with.
Man question... 3 watts for home? Is it goog for bedroom?
amazing wes :)
that was fucking badass dude
Perfectly tapered 😚
Great construction
Chunky Chops
Raunchy Riffage
;~)
Jesus.....
Yeah dem tonzs are great but DEM SKILLZ
Purrty badass
Fuckin love that song hell yeah man
SAVAGE!
What are the pedals on top of the amp?
Wes, could we have the guitar DI tracks? ^_^
Wow man ! Nice prod... I have the unmodded version so with EMG707. Are you getting more clarity with the SDs ? I’m running through 5150iii with a Mesa flux drive.

Denis Lachance EMG's aren't known for there clarity this coming from someone who uses them. Distorted chords will sound muddy
Metalheadblues thanks buddy but I already have a couple of ESPs with 81 at the bridge and 85 at the neck. Though I’m not able to get the same accuracy with the 707 than my bridge 81. Not criticizing 707 I feel that it’s more similar to my 85. For lead it’s perfect.
Fuderoso!!!
