Ever since I heard the duel for the first time I've been looking for another band or song with the same sound and I can't find it. The harmony combined with the bending is really smooth and weird in a way that I wish I heard more of in melodic death.
Whoa. It's cool seeing the dude who actually wrote this playing it. I've seen a lot of good covers, but nothing really beats the author on something like this
I think I see how Toki lost. Skiwsgaar ended his song immediately, he must have been worn out. But Toki, still determined and ready, tried to continue. When he heard him end it, he flubbered, and screwed the last part.
@@nepntzerZer He can't match Skwis' speed. There's one episode where he accidentally deletes Skwis' guitar part, and tries to redo it himself, and says, "It's too fasts, Skwisgaar always makes its too fasts"
Brendon Smalls compositions is proof that simplicity makes for epic pieces of work! People don't always need to play fast through multiple scales to have amazing solos!
I gots to say that guys plays pretty fines to mey! Though it ams hards to admits it... There is ams a guitarrist who cans almost plays as goods as mey. ALMOST. Leanrs from hims, Toki.
What makes this series so much MORE awesome is that Small plays or crafts all his own music for the series. That's the lifeblood in the show. That's his own work double the way!
I am blown away by this solo. Not because of its raw speed and a crazy amount of notes. I love Deathcore as much as the next guy. And yeah those wild solos are impressive. But what Brendon wrote here is so creative, full of riffs that I've never heard and it sounds amazing. This is why I love Dethklok. How completely original every song is and how amazingly clever and amazing it all is.
I’m a rhythm guitarist in a metal band, and our lead guitarist and I often reference the show and people compare us to Toki and Skwisgar, so for my one year anniversary of joining the band, we’re going to try and recreate this duel 🎸 wish us luck 😎
Thank you for the memories Brendan. From Home Movies to Metalocalypse. Ive enjoyed your work every step of the way. My daughter even pointed out your character in "Clarence" working the movie store. That was a fun little easter egg. She loves home movies. Shes not ready for Metalocalypse yet though.
everytime I come to this video, I watch it like 10 times in a row. makes me wanna gouge my eyes out because nothing will ever be worth seeing again after watching this. but then I watch this again instead of the gouging
I found a Midi file thingy a while ago, and personally I found Toki's parts a little easier than Skwisgard's www.songsterr.com/a/wsa/dethklok-the-duel-tab-s389684t0 (only a dildo wouldn't leave a link lol. Should mention that the tab here is different from what Brendon plays in the video)
***** oh yeah the sweeps are difficult, but with practice it gets easier. Go through it slowly 1 000 times, play it slightly faster another 1 000 times then rinse and repeat until you can do it :P
i feel like the sweeps at 0:41 are hard because they are pretty stretched. maybe i should just tune down. is he in Cb standard/drop or C standard/drop?
I knew aleeady that Skwisgaar's guitar playing style is inspired by Yngwie Malmsteen, but this made me realize. That means BRENDON SMALL can play like fucking Yngwie. He wrote and played that shit!!!! This man will never fail to impress me. His passion and talent for music is unmatched.
that was amazing and loved the Rock Opera Doomstar Requim, just wish he could get season 5 or the film going to let us finally see Salacia taken down. DETHKLOK RULES!
Brendon Small is a god. Dethklok music is just straight up better metal than almost anything out there. He is not only a guitar god, but his creativity and foresight and sense of humor are a reason to keep living on this planet.
The way you play this makes it feel as though there were certain parts Skwisgaar was trying to flatten Toki, but some parts sound like he was testing Toki to see how he would do with call and respond. And the last melodic part before Toki fucks up, was Skwisgaar enjoying himself before the final move.
+Mike Doolittle Its happening, for sure. It may not be called Dethklok/Dethalbum IV due to legal constraints, but it is happening. He talks about it in recent interviews and I personally heard him say it at a rally to get the show back on the air. Visit Metalocalypsenow dot com to sign the petition to bring the show back. It's officially backed by Small as the best way to get the show back for its final season.
I had no idea the first existed (which is crazy)... and let's be honest, Galakticon II would be an awesome name for an album even if there was no part 1. Nonetheless I immediately hopped on iTunes and bought it... I shall prepare my body for the sequel.
Brendon is an amazing guitarist. I think he's one of the fastest and cleanest i've ever heard. I don't know of many times he fudges a note, he's a perfectionist when he plays.
I want to thank you for one of the gratest metal show ever! I also thank you for great songs. Dethklok is one of my favourite bands, even if it's not real. Thank you Brendon Small! Btw. You rock at guitar! ;)
Wodinn I love to see guitars like that, it shows the time they have been played, mine looks brand new and I've had it for almosy two years now. I kinda feel mediocre ; - ;

Nobody lays down staccato backing chords like Brendon 🤘
That 14th century baroque style in heavy metal was just amazing.

For someone who does a million other things and still plays guitar better than most people who only play guitar.....Awe!

Toki is just as good as Skiws, he's just *super lazy*
@@rubymeaddle he's better. he doesn't practice at all and can still keep up.
@@nepntzerZer not quite, he can for rhythm but he can't match Skwis for speed.

for while was the most excited metal band out there and they weren't even a "real" band lmao
@ZB Every Album hit #1 for metal for a damn good reason.
Small is such a beast
Fucking love how halfway through it just goes completely Baroque.
Now do "Some Time Ago"
Actually, just play the whole Movie/Album...
yes please i need see some time ago solo for brendon small
That fretboard gunk man, love it! Means that guitar has been putting in work recently!

goodluck!! 🔥💪
0:28-0:40 that is just my favorite sequence of the entire duel...other than the baroque style guitar playing, that was awesome as well.
The Doomstar Requiem is so underated and also needs a Blu-ray release.
meanwhile, me over here learning smoke on the water
Mobious One everyone starts somewhere man.
Mobious One no lies, I started on panic attack by DT. Easily the best decision I ever made in my life as a musician.
A song every garage band should know anyway!
your probably playing it on a granpas guitar too!
By now you should be able to play this lol
1:30 onward gives me chills such a good sound
CUH-CUH Good job on the guitar riffs baby, Dr Rosko’s CUH-CUH impressed!
Brendon I am obsessed with this song. I want to hear more like this, these melodies are amazing.

More strength perhaps.

Brendon, you are truly and amazing musician, writer, and producer!
The entire episode was so great. I think it deserves an Emmy nomination. For real.
It still blows my mind that the guy who made Home Movies was secretly this amazing metal guitarist all along.
You can tell the man puts a lot of hours into playing by how dirty those fret spaces are ❤
DUDE, I love your work! Thank you for bringing Metalocalypse into this world. So fucking cool.
Sometimes, just watching a pro gutiarest play makes me smile like an idiot, just because it's just so damn impressive how well they play their songs.
that was amazing and loved the Rock Opera Doomstar Requim, just wish he could get season 5 or the film going to let us finally see Salacia taken down. DETHKLOK RULES!

I respect that you enjoy this alot but to say dethlok's music is "just straight up better" than most metal is laughable.
Still can't believe I got to see this live Friday. Amazing!!!
Wish he'd play the solo at the end of "FatherKlok" and the Life Sentence solo from "DethWedding."
0:54 is nuts.
That is just the coolest duel! I think this guy is truly a guitar God!

It ams no from Brendon Small. Maybe I tooks parts on they recordsing of dems album, if dat tell yous someting.
Many people think Skwisgaar is a play on Yngwie. But really he’s Kei Hansen from Helloween.
Yessssssss! That was sweet ass sweet! Thanks for the clip!
Saw this in Atlanta, I don't think I've ever smiled so hard
He always plays such beautiful trills.

0:28 duel part if fxckin; awesomely melodic!
Always wanted to know the rhythm to this. Thanks Brendon!
BRUTAL
play the Kafka rock opera stuff yo
I've watched this so many times
THANK YOU BRENDON!!!
Is it just me, or are those frets FILTHY?! Never thought I'd see a guitar on youtube that's as dirty as mine.
Dirty frets=he actually plays a lot
lol I noticed that 2
or like me i obsess over how clean my guitar is and wipe all blemishes off. there's a saying about keeping your tools and work space clean.

One of the most awesome musical pieces ever, hail doomstar!
Dude this is so cool!
One of the greatest moments in metal history. \m/
@1:30 jesus christ why does this sound so good?
I've been trying to figure this out as well. Have not reached a conclusion. It's just that fucking good.
That part has been stuck in my head for years since I first heard it. It still pumps me up every time I hear it
honestly, the world's greatest guitar teacher couldn't teach me,I would dare him to try.
Listening to galaktikon and dethklok every day I wonder; Why isn't Brendan Small more famous
***Meanwhile in the upper left quadrant***
It's even better when I can see what he's doing.
The breakdown at 1:30 always gives me goosebumps
I like the neoclassical breakdown
WE NEED MOAR METALOCALPYSE!!!!
One of the greatest songs of all time
The classical part is easily my favorite
What a Godlike guitar sound
SO SICK \m/
Watching Brendon play this makes me feel kinda funny like when we used to climb the ropes in gym class…
Great cover
I want to see brendon small vs nuno bettencourt doing the duel...or maybe Herman Li.
You did so well
Brendon Small is a literal guitar wizard \m/ \m/
He ams de best fors a reason!
lol fuck i love watching him play this stuff. his playing is pretty much instantly recognizable
Brendon Small the best!!! Metalocalypse rulezz!!!!
