they had a snapshot of a lineup there. When it was Geoff, Mike, Wes, Evan, and either Rudi or Lyle, this band just had an endless supply of sauce.
Agreed. Stacked with talent.
His solo from "Mile Zero" is my ringtone on my phone. I think it's brilliant.
I agree. It is brilliant.
Thank you for mile zero
His bends are so soulful!
Work on your vibrato
Holy shit, he plays so clean and seems to know A LOT of theory. New hero. I think the Periphery guys hyped him for the right reason. He Is GOOD.
Guy's got his shit together, that's for sure. Terrific player. Technique for miles.
not sure how I can turn this into a mile zero joke...
Goddamn I don't think I've ever seen someone playing so effortlessly
It’s Rick Graham levels of effortlessness; I’ve been binge watching Wes Hauch/Alluvial/Faceless stuff for weeks, the guy is a master
He has a really nice balance of feeling and shredability to his playing. It's clean, thought out, but not robotic. I love when guitarists put emphasis on musicality and harmony more than just showing off their skill. Good stuff, and a really nice pairing with Michael Keene.
he's so efficient! it boggles my mind! technical perfection!
White Ice Cube
Pffffffffffffffffffffff you're right though, that's fucking hilarious man hahahahahahahahaha
Cleanest phrasing ever..! Love this guy.
I swear I've watched this video Thousands of times at this point. Wes is Incredible.
I hung out with Wes a couple years ago after a Periphery show, He was nothing but nice and humble. Cool dude to hang with and a killer player too - Wish him the best of luck!
While it sounds like you already have your mind made up about me.. I apologize for any miscommunication and I certainly never intended to be rude. It's also worth noting that I don't remember any of this, and I had a good time in toledo with the opening bands
You just earned so much respect dawg!.....You keep doing what you're doing and we're looking forward to some great music.....
watched a recent interview and you said you'd lost weight. I'd never thought you were over weight but after seeing you in recent videos compared to now it's nuts! congrats man :)
He was this good 9 years ago man I can only wonder how good he is now
I mean he is killing it in Alluvial
This guy is awesome. Reminds me a lot of Per Nilsson from Scar Symmetry. Really clean playing and great phrasing. Too bad I haven't heard of him before. Will surely check him out more.
Wes Hauch is in Glass Casket now. Which is good, cause Glass Casket is back. The Faceless, however, have some tough shoes to fill.
Man, he plays so clean, and his solos are really unique!
The lick at 1:00 is actually from Charles Mingus' "Moanin'" ! Cool though
I love watching these Guitar Messenger masterclass videos. I dont even play guitar, so about 75% of the stuff he's saying goes straight over my head, but I think its so cool watching all these incredibly talented musicians play some of their coolest, most well known stuff.
He's such a beast at phrasing his notes.
Love it.
I have to admit he got some very tasty runs. I like his phrasing a lot.
Good work man.
The combination of scale and arpeggio is very good!
Do more shit with Keith Merrow! You two have some of the nastiest riffs I've ever heard in my life \m/
Agreed.
2 years later and we have Alluvial lol
I know right, I'm just gonna pretend that they read my comment and decided to write it hahaha
Powerful WES HAUCH!
The fact that you even read, let alone replied says a lot about your dedication to your fans as well as the music you play. I heard at the most recent Toledo gig you played that you were open with the fans and talkative, so I'm eating every last drop of what I said. I apologize for the comments that I've made and I hope nothing but success for The Faceless as time goes by. I've been listening since Akeldama and I don't ever plan on stopping.
you can't expect someone to be nice to every person they meet esp when they are on tour in new cities everyday sometimes all year long. Musicians like him put off their entire lives to please the likes of you by doing what they love. Be glad that he even played to show for you.
Wes offers lessons from time to time!
I've watched this video way more times than I can count. I am probably half the views. The playing is just CLEAN!
Yeah, when I saw them on that tour, he and I talked for probably 15 minutes. Nothing fanboyish or even about music, just life. People need to realize that musicians hate being fanboyed (unless you're Tosin). Wes actually gave me his pick just because I didn't ask for it XD
Such an awesome dude.
Happy Birthday Wes !!!
Such precise bending and economic technique.
Holy shit, Wes.
His phrasing is amazing, so creative
One of the cleanest and tightest players. THOSE BENDS HNGGGGGGG
for any who are interested, that Em lick is probably the hardest lick in the Emancipate outro solo, after I spent a full night learning it by ear, I found this video and now I want to die
It's just a harmonic minor scale with a chromatic passing tone between the 4th and m3rd.
That line-up is so killer omg
I was lucky enough to see Wes and Evan in Seattle with TF.
I love his soloing style.
Wes Hauch is such a dude!
i met him at a show in mexico he´s sooooo humble.
Emil Werstler & Wes Hauch are some of the cleanest metal guitar players atm
Wes Hauch. Fully baving.
The faceless lost a hell ofuva guitarist
They lost a hell of a guitarist bassist AND drummer. Losing the autotheism lineup was the L of the century
You've just made my day.
I admit the vocalist will probably turn a lot of metal heads off, but if you sit down and listen to their newer stuff it is really good. At first I did not really like the vocalist but he really puts emotion in the songs and after a few listens I really got hooked on the band as a whole. Still love the Faceless also though, even if Michael Keene feels the need to sing on every song for the new album.
I wanted to see them on March in SD, Cradle's tour got cancelled. Hope you guys come soon to SD !
Awesome phrasing, i like the hybrid modes going on!
Having played that guitar, I can say this - I would have hated to have been Wes and having to get rid of it. The thing seriously rocks, especially with the EMG Het Set that he put in it later.
i bought this album, love it
0:56 a part of the Autotheism Movement II: Emancipate
That's so cool🔥💯
I believe he incorporated this into the solo in Emancipate. That lick at 1:02 sounds exactly like it.
The intro song is called "Planetary Duality I : Hideous Revelation"
I know basic theory, and am constantly learning more.
I agree with you that these chords that he talks are very basic, and briefly talks about the modes (Dorian), but you have to also know that most guitarists learn by themselves, so they don't learn what chord names are, nor what they are made up of. That doesn't mean that they're bad guitarists though, some of the best don't know anything about theory ;p
Even in drop tuning you can get a good chord sound out if you know where you are on the fretboard. I think it has something to do with the CAGED system.
hey man sometimes everyone needs to sit down and catch a break. Wes is a cool dude!
I would kill to spend a day with this dude... holy shit.
Everyone's gonna have a bad day, if this guy's version of the story truly tells the whole tale.
All that aside, this is a truly insightful playthrough by Wes and I always enjoy seeing him play in videos like this. I swear, it's like no effort at all goes into the way his fingers hit the strings. When I play you can hear every fuckin' fingerprint ridge on my fingers scraping the strings lol. ...exaggeration, but my point is clear. Fuck opinions. This guy is wicked talented.
Go Wes! You make us Sharters proud!!!
Fenomenal!
His shirt Is so cool! Amazing technique, he Is a máster....
The intro lick reminds me a lot of Greg Howe very mixolydian soundish maybe I'm wrong but I love it! :)
Mile Zero at 1:40
That awkward moment when the rhythm guitar player is better than the lead guitar player.
No
No way.
@invertedpixel, that’s not why he’s better. That has no bearing on anything. He’s better because he has more improvisational skills and better songwriting skills to boot.
no moments there
Better.. As in? Writing? Playing? Hmm, Keene is a monster at writing riffs
That first lick sounds very gypsy jazz styled.
He apologized and that takes a lot balls to do on the internet no less, so leave the guy alone.
When it takes you 10 seconds to own every guitar player on earth, you know you're good! :)
i love how he shakes his head when he playes the Eminor Chords in the beginning XD..thinking "IMA BOSS AND U SUCK".. and damn.. hes so jazzy O.o i love it
It's giving me blue balls listening to that run in Mile Zero without the epic bend that comes after it.
i no exactly what you mean. thats why i LOVE the instrumental album they out. The music alone is so pretty and bulb does a great job. but they toned down the guitar parts to add in vocals on the newest album. they are still a great band.
haha! there it is, the ol trusty major 6. Gotta have that kind of enthusiasm about it if you want to be on his level
Badass guitar!
lol, check Tool's Faaip de Oiad, they used it way before the Faceless, and they used the whole call, the faceless used only a small part.
His solo in Autotheism Part II (the last one) includes a lick that sounds kinda similar to the 1st example from this lesson. dunno, maybe its my imagination, check it out anyway.
Sweet tone.
Yeah, it says that in the video...
I really wish I had the tabs for the beginning lick. That's my favorite one of the whole vid lol. Anyway someone could hook me up?
Dustin Reems theres a link in the description you can click for the tabs
EyeAmLance not for the beginning lick though
Oh sorry about that friend
No prob, thanks anyways!
+Dustin Reems he uses it in Autotheist Movement II so you can just use the tabs from that and move it down a few frets to the e minor shape
Sweet!!
I am pretty sure i got the hint when they had 3 of the same song with different vocalist.
Now here's a guy who knows his shit.
how old is he does anyone know?
thanks!
Wes is fucking awesome. We jammed to some Pantera when he came to Tucson lol
his left hand technique is crazy
yeah i wanna know that too!
Wes looks like he has everything the real man needs to have. Like beer, have a beard, have some muscles, tattoos and play guitar like a baws.
In the last section of the mile zero solo he is sweeping, is this a sweep or fast picking on the album?
Wes is a god.
Wes signed my ticket and took pictures with me, he´s cool
I believe so
DAT TONE
I noticed that chromatic note made it sound beautifully jazzy, what scale is it considered to be? Or is it just an altered natural minor?
that end lick is his solo from mile zero by periphery if im not mistaken
It says that in the description
Wes accepted my friend request on Facebook and I nearly shit four shades of bricks.
Holy tight.
Does Wes Hauch play the final solo in Emancipate? Cause after watching this, it sure sounds like he plays the final solo
Now you have a duty to upload your playing video for us
Cool man...
YES
Well said Mishman
so i heard that wes was writing a song that was maybe going to be featured on autotheism, anyone know if that happened? Which song was it if it did?
