i love how brendon small is playing this extremly hard awesome song to alot of people and hes just playin it fine chewing his gum and rolling his eyes haha
He's good and personally I like his writing more than Yngwie's but this is not true. Yngwie is ridiculous. Probably the most ridiculous, but that's also to his detriment. He can't hold himself back from upping the anti.
It depresses me how good Brendon Small is at so many things. He is a great musician and can write in many different genres, he is an incredible guitarist, he is very funny and a great writer (he wrote nearly every episode of the great Home Movies before moving on to Metalocolypse), he is a great voice actor. What a dick.
Brendon Small is AMAZING! I am a Brendon Small groupie for life! I just think he is really really good at what he does and I hope does not ever stop doing Metalocalyse and song for Dethklok ever.
I'm surprised how many people don't realize that's... pretty much all him. Brendon Small is Dethklok. He gets other people to tour with him and help record the albums, but he's the one writing and editing all of that music.
My point is, he's good because he's been playing for a long time, AND has a solid education in music to back it up. A lot of guitarists don't have that. Damn, no wonder I'm getting so many responses. I had no idea that it was a top comment....
I've been a fan of his since his "Home Movies" heyday... talent-wise it seems he's better than ever. It's amazing how far he's come, (though I'd love to see Home Movies back on the air,) and it's obvious he's far more focused. That whole song was face-melting and he didn't beak a sweat.
Who the hell said he made a mistake?!?!? The song was exactly right with a few remixes added in! BEST SONG I'VE EVER PLAYED BTW. Wish i was that fast. DETHKLOK!
It's because this dork has been playing since he was a kid, and graduated from Berklee College of Music. He has more music theory knowledge than most metal bands combined.
@TehGameDude the neck pickup usually has more bass to it than the bridge, and les pauls (and other guitars) have 2 separate knobs for tone. when you turn the tone down on a pickup it takes some of the treble sounds away and gives it more bass. and gives it a silky smooth feel to it :D
@WolftheLone both of those notes exist just within the confines of certain keys. theyre enharmonic with f and c which means they're the same notes different names
ok he made that look way tooo easy! it looked like he was taking a relaxing walk in the park not melting my face! i am astounded by how much talent this guy has. metalocalypse rules!
@10INTM • Brendon Small etches his sheet music in titanium. With his thumb. • Brendon Small can play in H Minor. • The Devil once challenged Brendon Small to a guitar duel, wagering a golden Gibson Explorer against his soul. Brendon Small, realizing that his body harbors enough souls to form a five-man band, upped the ante. He now owns 500 acres of Hell and is planning on turning the real estate into the most metal theme park ever.
It's funny because it's Tabbed in Brendon's official tab book (which I own) as C-Standard. He writes everything in E-Standard, then tunes it to C-Standard for actual recording.
• Brendon Small has to schedule his performance a year AFTER a concert or recording session since his hands shred so fast that they travel back in time by precisely a year, and he never needs to worry about causing a universe-ending paradox by playing a wrong note when that time comes because Brendon Small never makes a mistake. • There is no such thing as an evolving music industry; there’s simply a list of songs that Brendon Small has allowed to exist.
@Giveupthefunk100 Gibson Les Paul not sure of the exact sub model but its probably a custom or something cause its got binding on the body, this isnt common with the studio models. Its loaded with EMG active pickups.
I dunno how anyone can rag on how Brendon Small plays a song written by Brendon Small. He owns the song and the cartoon that it came from (also his production with his partner) so as far as I'm concerned he can play the song any way he wants to. It still sounds brutal as hell.
and without even breaking a sweat....one of my guitar hero's. respect this guitar player
This is one of those songs that you wish was 10x longer . Brandon Small fuckin rocks \m/
Brendan at - 1:12 "Mmmmm! This riff tastes good!"
i love how brendon small is playing this extremly hard awesome song to alot of people
and hes just playin it fine chewing his gum and rolling his eyes haha
"That's pretty brutal"
Astonishing. Brendon Small ceases to amaze me, and I will forever love his amazing guitar abilities and standards.
I love how he's so chill about how sick he is. Despite the fact that he could play circles around Yngwei if he cared to.
He's good and personally I like his writing more than Yngwie's but this is not true.
Yngwie is ridiculous.
Probably the most ridiculous, but that's also to his detriment.
He can't hold himself back from upping the anti.
thats a bloody technical song:O:D Brendon Small is just so awesome:D
It depresses me how good Brendon Small is at so many things. He is a great musician and can write in many different genres, he is an incredible guitarist, he is very funny and a great writer (he wrote nearly every episode of the great Home Movies before moving on to Metalocolypse), he is a great voice actor.

In my opinion, he's the worlds greatest guitarist!
1:54 Whoops!
haha, so I'm not the only one to catch that? this isn't him playing as much as karaoke to the song.
yeah what a shame. I also noticed at 2:32, he did a bend, but there's no bend in the audio.
this dude owes!!!!!! Love the band and the show.
It sounds so good yet seems so effortless for him. awesome!
For this reply alone--Today, you win the internet. If I only I could give you this award.
My fav song. love the licks too much. looks hella fun to play
Brendon Small is AMAZING! I am a Brendon Small groupie for life! I just think he is really really good at what he does and I hope does not ever stop doing Metalocalyse and song for Dethklok ever.
amazing man right here. One of my latest favorite guitarists.
You are so awesome. Thanks for Home Movies sir!
its not just about the playing, he can write music, he writes lead,rhythm, and bass guitars for dethklok's songs
He looks so chill, and yet he's pumping out this 200 BPM beast of a tune. Props.
Kudos! Thunderhorse has been a part of my workout set since it was released!
I'm surprised how many people don't realize that's... pretty much all him. Brendon Small is Dethklok. He gets other people to tour with him and help record the albums, but he's the one writing and editing all of that music.
Many years from now ppl will look back in history and say "damn, i wish i was alive in the Brendon Small years, he was a guitar god."
That's what he spent his younger years going to college for
first to watch! anyway, this guy is amazingly talented. hilarious shows and amazing guitar work. keep'em coming :)
i wish i could play half as good as you. love the show btw, just bought dethalbum 2 a month ago, keep up the good work.
awesome playing.
my soul weeps at his greatness
i love the way that guitar sounds in this particular playing of the song
Thank you for making my night :)
Brendon Small does not get enough credit to his talent. I wish that some people would see what us fans see in him. Keep rockin Brendon
the dethklok stuff is very well put together who ever produces that spends a lot of time and effort in the making of it.
My point is, he's good because he's been playing for a long time, AND
has a solid education in music to back it up. A lot of guitarists don't
have that. Damn, no wonder I'm getting so many responses. I had no idea
that it was a top comment....
I watch this video everyday, just hoping someday I'll be as good as Brendon
its badass how he switchs pickups and the whole mood of the song changes
Oozes talent....
Show is so epic too.
Amazing musician right here!
OMG!!!!! This guy is AMAZING!!!!!
1:48 -- Love the movement of his fret pinky, man. He's got the tempo of fret-fingers 1-3 working with the pinky as a metronome. Pretty awesome.
I've been a fan of his since his "Home Movies" heyday... talent-wise it seems he's better than ever. It's amazing how far he's come, (though I'd love to see Home Movies back on the air,) and it's obvious he's far more focused. That whole song was face-melting and he didn't beak a sweat.
God I love this so much.
MMMMMMM that guitar tone
@SomethinWild You just made my year.
That was awesome.
This man is the most talented man on earth
Who the hell said he made a mistake?!?!? The song was exactly right with a few remixes added in! BEST SONG I'VE EVER PLAYED BTW. Wish i was that fast. DETHKLOK!
after watching the thunderhorse video and loving the guitar, i just realised how hard it is to play it but this guy makes it look so easy haha
thanks for posting!
brutal \m/ Brendon Small is an awesome guitar player, and hes really funny. If u do find more videos that would be freakin awesome =)
@OutsideTha9 Hey man, it is a Gibson Les Paul Classic Custom.... from 2007. I have one and love it. Cheers!
This Man is a brainiac,so talented..and i like the way you'd never guess it by just looking at him.
Home Movies, Metalocalypse, Dethklok... I wouldn't expect any less.... EPIC WINNING!!!!
dam nice work!that rocks
Love your work. Hope what youve written in heaven is cool too!
WOW thats amazing
So clean, you'd never expect playing like that out of a guy lookin like that. 10/10
great tone, great technique, i love that you hear the pick attack so fucking great
The program is Remix, the hotel is Hotel Los Angeles.
It's because this dork has been playing since he was a kid, and graduated from Berklee College of Music. He has more music theory knowledge than most metal bands combined.
This is not Brendon small, its Brendon fucking huge, holy shit
Wow. Brendon Small is a musical and comedic god
@TehGameDude the neck pickup usually has more bass to it than the bridge, and les pauls (and other guitars) have 2 separate knobs for tone. when you turn the tone down on a pickup it takes some of the treble sounds away and gives it more bass. and gives it a silky smooth feel to it :D
MOAR!
The most epic thing I've ever heard
@WolftheLone both of those notes exist just within the confines of certain keys. theyre enharmonic with f and c which means they're the same notes different names
he is a awesome i wish i could play that well
i love this song
Brendon Small = The Man!
ok he made that look way tooo easy! it looked like he was taking a relaxing walk in the park not melting my face! i am astounded by how much talent this guy has. metalocalypse rules!
I keep coming back to this vid cuz of the guitar tone
idc how old he is or what he looks like this is THE MOST BRUTAL MAN IN HISTORY
exceptional human being. period.

I almost forgot to watch this again today.
Jeez, his right hand practically oscillates while his left hand move like jumping spider on crack..... Dear god this song is awesome!
he writes everything for dethklok, guitar,vocals,bass,and keyboards
just beautiful and brutal
sooo smooth picking ... aawesome real metal \m/ :D

Pure greatness
So clean, Brendon's pretty good !
I love the face he makes when he's concentrating
Always thought he mixed together himself playing 2 or 3 parts this vid makes this song just that much more epic
Brendon Small... you are kidding me, he is fucking HUGE! Love his solos!
The guitar is a Gibson Les Paul Classic Custom btw. I was wondering before because of the SG emblem on the headstock.
Brendon Small always reminds me of Home Movies.
thats BADASS! great
Having two animated shows where he can present his own music. Man, has that ever happened before?
amazed at how easy he makes it look!!!
@LordLucan375 He uses custom Gibson guitars, EMG pickups, Line 6 pedals and Krank amps. Does that answer your question?
this dude is so epic !!
this guy is my hero
First time I saw Home Movies, I never would have thought that the guy who created it could shred like a boss.
Brendon Small is SO big!
@Giveupthefunk100 Gibson Les Paul not sure of the exact sub model but its probably a custom or something cause its got binding on the body, this isnt common with the studio models. Its loaded with EMG active pickups.
That guitar is AWESOME
There aren't enough videos of Brendon Small playing guitar on youtube
how badass man!
@KingoftheGerudos
Dood, he IS Skwisgaar! He does all the guitar/bass parts and nathan's singing voice!
