Don't take the word "faked" as a bad thing. I do it all the time. "Guys let's play some Zeppelin!!!" "I don't know the solo!!" "Just fake it man, but fake it like you mean it!" "Roger that." haha.
Dimebag faked his death. They are fakers. And those guys after playing a show one time came to one of my shows and they took the stage that night there also.
People tend to think there's a backing track and he isn't actually playing what you are hearing when they use the word faked. He improvised his way through a metallica solo.
The word you are looking for then is improvise. "Yo dudes lets play some steve vai" "wut m8 i dont know the whole song!" "Its ok, improvise the parts you dont know" "do i look like a guitar god to you with my 5$ shirt and 4$ guitar dude🤨?"
Philip picked up a guitar for the first time at age nine. If you ask him how he learned to play it, he straight-up says “I was too impatient to learn other people’s guitar work, so I wrote my own.” I can’t imagine teaching myself to play guitar like that, but then, I’m not a guitarist myself.
@@flyingbodysymphony you can discover how to hold different guitar chords "by basing on the build of human hand" like Phoebe from "Friends" ;-) just joking.
1. Drug yourself into the next-to-death experience 2. Start screaming like a maniac while dying 3. Get saved in a last moment 4. Escape the rehab clinic 5. Repeat 1-4 everyday for a couple of years
Phil's actually a pretty good guitarist, he wrote a lot of the guitar stuff for Superjoint and played some guitar for AxCx. he just says he cant play guitar and sing at the same time
He's also the main composer for Down, played acoustic guitars on the first 2 albums, even electric guitar on 1 or 2 tracks from Down III. I think Pantera is one the few bands where he didn't play guitar, even though he wrote some great riffs for them
Most people don't know the whole story but Phil was actually the big metal head of the 4. Hes the one that introduced everybody to slayer the Melvins, King Diamond, mercyful fate, Faith No More. Before that the brothers and Rex liked Metallica but hadn't fully adopted the thrash style as of yet. Cool video. I think Phil could make a washboard sound heavy...and good!!
Dime said in a guitar world interview that Phil can hold his own when it comes to guitar, Phil listened to alot of death metal and metal music his whole life, which is how he learned.
I find it funny. A lot of people dont realize that just because he is known as a singer, Phil actually does have some skill when it comes to guitar. He did all the writing on the first Superjoint Ritual album. Same goes for Bruce Dickinson. All metal singers should at least know basic guitar stuff as it allows them to have an easier time communicating with the guitar players. Also, it sometimes leads to cool songs like Iron Maiden's "Powerslave" or "Revalations".
Oh my god, I remember first time seeing this a while back and I was like "Woah, even the vocalist of pantera is a better guitarist than me!". Now of course I can tell that he kinda rushed it and kinda faked out, but that's still cool, cuz he still gave it the energy and power, which is like the main driving force of Whiplash. Also, phil did that Dave Mustaine blues box shape run(around 0:35 to 0:43 in your video) which makes everything sound automatically badass.
I think that Phil's greatest help for faking a solo like that just *might* have been having a guitarist like Dimebag to coach him through it beforehand.
Improvising typically means you're playing what's coming to you in the moment. Faking is when you just play patterns that take up space and you know sound good. Improvising is dangerous, faking is doing what you know works. Best I could come up with after a few Gin and Tonics. haha
As a guitarist, you can tell when someone is faking a solo. Here he's not even trying to play the original solo, and during the solo you can see him looking at Vinnie for cues when the stop.
@@TheArtofGuitar But it's a cover, it doesn't have to be a 1 on 1 copy of the original song. I don't see why it's called Faking. But great video, got me some tips on how to "fake it" when i play my own solos xD
The only reason I say 'faked' is because I've faked many solos in the past and they always end up like this. hehe. Well not as good as Phil's but still.
@@TheArtofGuitar "fake" seems like a misleading word to use. It is quite obvious that Phil wasn't even trying to play the original solo. Just playing a solo where one should be. "faked" implies that he wasn't actually playing the solo at all, rather someone else was playing it.
This was awesome! It reminds me of getting into Metallica back in the day, particularly on Kill 'Em All, where the solos wouldn't blow anyone away, but they just ....sounded cool? And still do.
Loved the demonstration, I know how well you can play and it's a testament to your skill that you know not to overplay in videos that don't call for it so was nice to see you shred!
I truly believe that having regular band practices with Dimebag Darrell in his golden era helps to be inspired. Let me try to explain. I never thought I could play a Petrucci solo but when I had a roommate who did it I felt that it's within human reach. More to it: I saw the bridge between where I am and where the goal is, I wasn't just looking at RUclips videos sighing as if they were the Academy Awards red carpet. Or when will you have bigger chance to succeed with performing a difficult solo? When you get introduced to your schoolmates by the oldest teacher on some talent event, or when lets say Dimebag himself tells you to take that guitar, 'cause you can do it? If you're constantly under the spell of the badass mojo. the need to rock out your soul at all cost, you might get to your goal sooner than just anxiously practicing with your metronome and your headphones on all alone in hopes that one day you'll be satisfied with yourself. My two cents at least, I might be off here...
Totally, it's actually an ethos many artists live by, especially in jazz. Always surround yourself by people much more talented than you because you will not only always feel inspired but it gives you the crushing need to improve.
No, you're dead on! It's so true. I've experienced the same thing and I've always sought out the best in my area so I could bring life to that level of playing and help realize it's attainable. You're explaining something that's pretty hard to put words to in a way that really does it justice, but you did a great job of it!
I'd love to see that tapping-with-the-pick technique demonstrated more fully. It's a very distinctive and interesting sound. Much wilder than regular taps. I don't think I've ever heard it before.
I know a long time ago I had read that Phil actually wrote a lot of Guitar parts with Dime on Power Metal and Cowboys. Idk how true that is but their music obviously changed drastically in that early Phil era.
I just wanted to say you nailed the theory of lead guitar for Heavy Metal . I played a little over a decade before I switched to vocals and eventually bass (I know I know). Anyway heavy overdrive, delay with a bit of reverb is all I ever added to my tone and it worked wonders.
The term "fake" doesn't really apply to what Phil did. Fake implies that he was just miming the solo. He actually played what was being heard, so it can't be called "fake". He basically just did his best to get through a solo he didn't know how to play with his limited technical ability. The "faking" techniques described in this video are basically the techniques that were used by most 80s thrash lead players.
faking in the context of a guitar solo is playing something that sound like it could be the solo but not really. The faking your talking about is called miming
Phil is one of my favorite guitar players. In his own words, not the greatest most technical guitar player but he's creative. Superjoint Ritual, Viking Crown, Necrophagia, Arson Anthem, Christ Inversion and the Illegals all have very unique and original riffs out of leftfield written by Phil. He has a style all of his own, really off kilter damaging riffs.
That's one thing I never really focused on since I started playing casual guitar 27yrs ago is my picking technique I've just done what feels comfortable wheely neely but now I realize its an important thing to learn and practice
"Chromatic playing sounds really chaotic and crazy and great." I will quote you on that because I think you are 100% right and you phrased it perfectly :)
Basically, yes. On the first two albums, he was trying to sound similar to Dave Mustaine, just not identical. That was pretty much Mustaine's style, too. Those techniques are common to thrash lead guitarists.
That's pretty cool Phil pulled that off. I would think he would have either asked Dimebag to show him a few things or he just watched Dimebag and picked a few things up with all the time they spent as a band. When you play with people who are better than you are it makes you a better player.
I would be surprised if he could come up with that on the fly and making it coherent and as slick as you played it lol....there's another video from 1988' (I believe) of Pantera covering Seek And Destroy with Dime on vocals and its crazy how good they sound and how similar Dimes vocals sounded like Early James Hetfield
Great video, I haven't seen that solo before haha it was so cool when bands used to do things like this to entertain their audience and just have fun, not just 1.5h set and good bye. Also I believe that Phil played guitar in at least one of his sideproject bands called Christ Inversion and came up with some Pantera riffs
I prefer to have Reverb behind my lead tone. I feel reverb does a better job of filling space and making my notes that ring, ring just a bit more, and have more dynamics behind them. Though for a while I was faking reverb with a delay with the time cranked up as fast as it could go to make it sound like reverb. But I do like Delay for many things, just prefer reverb to delay. Distortion, Overdrive, Reverb and then for extras depending on what song or what I want (Versing or the actual solo) I have Delay and Wah (not a crybaby, cannot stand them, I like control of my wah tone without having to have my foot on the pedal) I do use the wah like Joe Satriani does, where he has it on almost all the time but not fully pressed down (makes sense if you know already) but I base a lot of my lead versing tone off of Animals as Leaders: Tosin Abasi's tone and Joe Satriani's tone and my soloing tone off those 2 (Tosin and Joe) + Steve Vai + Jason Richardson. Though there are many good guitarists out there to take inspiration from, those are just the 4 I really payed attention too, well Tosin, not so much anymore, not a fan of their new drummer in the band, and not a fan of the way the music is going totally, it is becoming to synth based for my liking. but their first 2 albums and single (Pre 2014 Animals as Leaders, Pre- Matt Gartska) is my favorite, really inspired me to pick up guitar again and go back to learning. Then I found this channel, and a few others that I take from and I actually feel like I am progressing with mastering guitar like I started too when I was 11-14 before I had a terrible teacher who ruined guitar, made it feel like a chore, took my fun and joy and then burned me out trying to make me a Joe Satriani Mimic Machine... but yea, now it is different. I enjoy the videos! keep them up!
Verb is great but can "wash out" your leads if too much is added. Same with delay but live it's easier for me to judge how much delay I'm using vs verb. Sometimes I think I'm using a little verb and then later I listen back and it sounds like I'm in a cave. haha
All things aside, the solo u did in thr beginning melted my face off. Man i have been following u for a long time and i know you are a great player but this really caught me off guard. It might be easier thn it looks but itt sounded very fast, impressive and cool! Thats what mattets right
This is arguably the funnest video you have made. Made me laugh when you played what Phil did 🤣 😂. Still learned a few things while having fun. I play bass and I try to pick out things I can apply to that from guitar videos. Like learning what the minor pentatonic pattern is etc. This video was friggin awesome. Had fun watching it 🤘🤘👍👍
Imagine if Phil was able to play guitar and sing at the same time. Pantera would have been even more unstoppable. Like all the stuff from Reinventing The Steel is begging for two guitars!
Hey any chance you could start over with all your guitar lessons so I can get in on a kind of 2nd wave of learning how to play guitar via your new videos?
So basically ALL of my solos except I try to remember them most of time I've got one I've played and changed so much for 5 yrs now lol it's also 12 parts only I double up on parts and try to play in 4/4 time like okay I'm playing double up 4x to me hardest to me is slowing down to play the clean legato 2 string slides then you go to a full 6 string tremelo sweep when you get to high you bend that sob for all your worth . lol
I think this is a problem with a lot of modern heavy music. Too much focus on skill/technique/complexity. You lose sight of what makes a good song. It’s about feeling. It’s about soul. I don’t give two shits HOW he played the guitar. It sounded great and invoked emotion. I BELIEVED him.
Doing it with the energy he did, that's alright, just looking bored, not alright :) Side note : Am I the only one who checks to see if the whiteboard drawing is changing :D Another great video, and even better breakdown, thanks!
People are just saying he’s “faking” it because he’s not a credited guitar player. Sure, there were some bluffs here and there, but fast shred leads are not hard to play. All you really gotta do is stay somewhat in key.
Don't take the word "faked" as a bad thing. I do it all the time. "Guys let's play some Zeppelin!!!" "I don't know the solo!!" "Just fake it man, but fake it like you mean it!" "Roger that." haha.

Creativity peaks in our 30s.
This was a piece of cake for anyone that age or younger😃
I don’t believe creativity ever peaks, age-wise at least.
This is arguably the funnest video you have made. Made me laugh when you played what Phil did 🤣 😂. Still learned a few things while having fun. I play bass and I try to pick out things I can apply to that from guitar videos. Like learning what the minor pentatonic pattern is etc. This video was friggin awesome. Had fun watching it 🤘🤘👍👍
So you're saying I have a chance?
I didn't even know Phil could play until I saw a different vid yesterday where he played raining blood.
I see you have the kirk hammet picking technique of flipping the bird
I’m afraid to do slosh picking since I use the harder picks, and I don’t want to slice up my fretboard
Imagine if Phil was able to play guitar and sing at the same time. Pantera would have been even more unstoppable. Like all the stuff from Reinventing The Steel is begging for two guitars!
This honestly sounds like back when I would try to improvise master of puppets solo right after I learn some pentatonic licks
How much gain should we dial up on OD or disortion for this? And how 'bout going disortion into OD, as I like to do sometimes?
Hey any chance you could start over with all your guitar lessons so I can get in on a kind of 2nd wave of learning how to play guitar via your new videos?
Phil is also a guitar player though. Phil got the chromatic thing from Dime.
He also played the bass in super joint albums
So basically ALL of my solos except I try to remember them most of time I've got one I've played and changed so much for 5 yrs now lol it's also 12 parts only I double up on parts and try to play in 4/4 time like okay I'm playing double up 4x to me hardest to me is slowing down to play the clean legato 2 string slides then you go to a full 6 string tremelo sweep when you get to high you bend that sob for all your worth . lol
Bro I love that video so much energy
I'm totally going to be that kind of guitarist 😁😎 Dime forever! Getcha pull!!! 🤘
7:28 cool 7:39 sweet 7:44 nice vibrato
Haha RUclips recommended me that video yesterday.
Ok the wind picked up here in NY and something fell at your place.
Really interesting topics in this channel
He used to play the guitar ,he’s done that a few times
I think this is a problem with a lot of modern heavy music. Too much focus on skill/technique/complexity. You lose sight of what makes a good song. It’s about feeling. It’s about soul. I don’t give two shits HOW he played the guitar. It sounded great and invoked emotion. I BELIEVED him.
Great video. Very interesting. Really enjoyed it and found it very useful 👍
Great perspective loved the video!
Thank you teacher
"Slosh picking". Where is Rudy Ayoub? 😆
Really like your posts, keep them coming! Best regards from The Netherlands 🇳🇱 😉
Wow, got this vid recommended to me like yesterday too. That's kinda neat!
I watched this vid last night, you`re on time, dude))
Nice shirt man! I love AC
Doing it with the energy he did, that's alright, just looking bored, not alright :) Side note : Am I the only one who checks to see if the whiteboard drawing is changing :D Another great video, and even better breakdown, thanks!
Phil Anselmo RULES!!
Great video btw🤘🏼⚜️🥃
That "slosh picking" is how Geezer Butler plays bass, but fingerstyle instead
Dude, at least show the 40 seconds of the actual video of Phil doing the fake solo. EVERYONE wanted to see that... GUARANTEED.
Good idea, show the original video, get video pulled. hehe.
2:49 What do shredders use instead?
People are just saying he’s “faking” it because he’s not a credited guitar player. Sure, there were some bluffs here and there, but fast shred leads are not hard to play. All you really gotta do is stay somewhat in key.
The only thing I want is to understand your eye color choice post-Halloween.
