You know I've always liked him but never really knew what a great guy he was ,I watch his videos and I like him even more , I wish he was still here .His attitude , his presence, and just the way he played he was humble and has his very own style . I could go on but what a nice person he was . I'm gonna cry now . And I mean it !
When I met him on my 19th birthday he was very down to earth and kind, gave me a hug, first famous musician I met and it was a great experience very nice dude.
We lost you too soon mate. Thanks for everything you gave us. You had so much left to give and many years of greatness to come. Rest well until we meet on the other side brother!
@@markochs2495 ya swig a pint of Jack Daniels, get on stage, sing 25 songs about the reaper and then wake up and do it again tomorrow. Just a simple melody.
You know something that really amazed me by Alexi? He doesn't mind showing you how he plays and why he does it. Take 8:29 for example; I've seen many amazing guitar players that are in huge bands that don't take the time to explain what they're doing it, Alexi not only show you what and how he plays, but why he doesn't play in a different way. He's really open about it. Miss him everyday, hope he's in a better place now!
You are the best alexi...i so fucking proud that you are the best guitarrist of my generation of course the 80's generation..what can I say...if my fucking fathers gave me some support...i probably will play some songs with you man...thanks
I legitimately thought his shirt said “whichita” for the longest time. I was more fixated about the guitar and thought “what’s the big deal about Kansas? Oh look the Katana signature”
for the people that say his tone is bad they have to remember that all the videos from guitar world never do any of the products/lessons any justice when it comes to tone.
@cissystrutter he has never been drunk on a concert, because he dnt wanna disrespect his fans. and he has been injured lots of times so thats why he have sometimes fucked up live concerts or then he hasb een sick, usually they're pretty good live. but theese lessons are usually sloppy played
One thing I find funny is that Alexi doesn't down pick when he palm mutes the low E, I've been taught to downpick for more power and rythmn but hey I'm not gonna argue with Alexi
The tuning doesn't always indicate what key the song is in, it just happens to be c minor in this case. You are right but you shouldn't think the reason why is because it's tuned in drop c :)
Drop C Dm Key Triplets That's how he said it is, not sure if he's the one that said it wrong in the video. But a key can be played in different tunings so
@Phailure365 we will see on the new album, but i think you're right. some say hes better drunk, some say hes better sober, i dont know, i think he has his good and bad days :D like everyone has
can u tell which string size u use for that tuning? and what u usually play (afaik whole D no drop) with which strings? edit: hes dead, can anyone else tell plz? thanks.
Alexi uses 9-42 or 10-56 string gauges from DR strings but if you see his rig rundown or several interviews, he mixes up the string gauges that fit his liking (can't remember what were the specific gauges).. Look it up... As for tunings, for these two songs, he utilizes the Drop C (from the low strings CGCFAD) tuning... Over the years he used several different tunings from C# Standard, D Standard, C Standard and most recently, Drop B tunings... For more info about his gears and guitar specs and set ups, search for his rig rundown... Hope this helps...
@@Hairull666 thanks a lot, dude! a problem of the rundowns is that theire made in a time when this guy already was a complete product. (esp, etc) but theire cool anyways.
@@oh_my_gauze you probably know this by now but there are 4 characters on there and they phonetically spell out "A-RE-KU-SHI" which is how you would say Alexi in Japanese.
Well well if you add a bass guitar and drums, it sounds good in whole mix... The fact, you do not like the eq of the amp does not mean it is bad. I pretty much like the heavy Mid set sound, while other like to play scooped. Still, at the end it is player, that matters.
onlycheez Wrong! Tuning does't tell you what key the song is in. The root note of the scale does. If that was the case almost all songs would be in the key of E
@Ellinarkkari nothing with the sloppy ness/ he is not using his own amp so the sound is totally Diffrent it might even be a To strong amp BUT youtube Fuckes up alot !
"you hope to make it to the end" lol kinda motivating to see him struggle as well.
@Dante H nah it makes me feel that i couldn't do it
I bought the pinky model, within 8 hours I was able to play bloodrunk in it's entirety
this part made me lol miss him rip

Saw them live in SF back in 09 and im still feeling the impact of being blown away...
Yeah man he was the GOAT

has anyone else noticed that black fingernail polish makes it much easier to follow the lesson?
I know this comment is 8 years old lol, but the black nails have actually helped me play live easier because it's easier to track where my fingers are
You guys serious or you trolling? Lol

Every single track on that album is just pure guitar awesomeness.

Those razor inlays are so SICK.
I loled when he was teaching the Hellhounds solo and just said "you just gotta go as fast as you can and hope that you make it to the end." LOL
Re learning a few parts of this. Alexi was a riff master!!
Easy songs to learn... right...right....
I love that pickslide which Alexi uses, i use it almost in every song :3
Rip dude.
just shows you how committed he is to his fans
Excelentes lições: riffs e solos muito bons e explicados com MUITA SIMPATIA!
- De um dos melhores e mais virtuosos guitarristas do mundo!!!
Dam right it's heavy!! Rest easy Alexi
Dude has such a great style I can always spot his playing very unique for a harmonic minor ripper
RIP King
EVERYONE LISTEN, WATCH WITH SUBTITLES! I DIED LAUGHING! TURN IT ON NOW!
@Retsiness The key is still in C, it doesn't mater what tuning its in, it could be in drop Z. its still C
4:07 i thougt it was a metronome for the low tempo and after a second watch i realized it was alexi's dog tag hitting the guitar lol
Theres GuitarWorld for ya offering the greatest of tones to all of their guests
I legitimately thought his shirt said “whichita” for the longest time. I was more fixated about the guitar and thought “what’s the big deal about Kansas? Oh look the Katana signature”
just go as fast you can and hope you make it to the end -- true shredder..love it xD

Now I see where Brendan Small got the idea for Skwisgaard's accent on Metalocalypse lol
Alexi and DMX chilling in Heaven.
R I P to both men.

Te extraño Alexi. 🇲🇽 🤘🏻
Just LOVE this guy 'cause he WANT to teach us how to play Bodomsongs :,)
Alexi, ohh, Alexi.....*__* I think I'm in looovee.
People , correct me if I am wrong but in 1:22 , I think that the key is C minor because we are in the drop C tunning .
right
Thanks man , I think that I was wrong .
The tuning doesn't always indicate what key the song is in, it just happens to be c minor in this case. You are right but you shouldn't think the reason why is because it's tuned in drop c :)
Okay man , thanks for the council
Drop C
Dm Key
Triplets
That's how he said it is, not sure if he's the one that said it wrong in the video. But a key can be played in different tunings so
Because It's not anyone, it's Alexi Laiho !
@Phailure365 we will see on the new album, but i think you're right. some say hes better drunk, some say hes better sober, i dont know, i think he has his good and bad days :D like everyone has
@Retsiness play a c minor pentatonic on your guitar. its C
I play Children of Bodom and Lamb of God and Meshuggah now for a year or two and still Blooddrunk is fucking hard to play
can u tell which string size u use for that tuning? and what u usually play (afaik whole D no drop) with which strings? edit: hes dead, can anyone else tell plz? thanks.

@@e30325ikiller no problem man (: Btw I made a mistake... I don't think he uses the C Standard, I meant to type Drop C... Hahaha...
@@Hairull666 i always thought he plays standard C or D. ok.
Damn, at 11:53 it sounds damn near identical to the album version.
Would be quite difficult though don't you think?
@Moshman17 i bet he's using the distortion of the marshall ampli. i bet it
Fairly confident Brendon Small based Skwisgar on Alexi, they're too similar for it not to be lol
Hes said so
The guy just showed up in a studio where he was asked to play the song, but the sound guy dind't closely know who was coming around to play...
when did alexi get the tat on his upper left arm? anyone know what it says?
him explaing the hellhounds on my trail solo is so funny XDDDDDDDD
"It's easy" looool
Whats the song playing in the beginning called?
Does anyone know what the 12th fret inlay on his guitar says?
I believe it says Alexi in kanji.
Kuin Ikuinen
Didn't load the replies, sorry.
It's not possible to write a non-japanese/non-chinese name in kanji.
@@oh_my_gauze you probably know this by now but there are 4 characters on there and they phonetically spell out "A-RE-KU-SHI" which is how you would say Alexi in Japanese.
@Agnes135
No it's Alexi,listen to the Follow the Reaper album and you'll see,MAB is the God of shredding that's for sure.
the Verse riff sounds like he's playing on Neck pickup..... without a neck pickup

The producer was holding a beer behind the camera to make him to play
DR strings 10-50 for Open D, and DR strings 10-56 in Drop C =)
for me it sounds awesome
Alexi is a BEAST :))
Awesome dude
ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO PLAY LIKE ALEXI
knows how annoying it is to do i think i found out why he plays so crisp and clean watch carefully 9:33
@Moshman17 yeah its too warm and chunky/creamy
omg why is always autodelete from my favourites? !
Alexi ur death broke me not just my heart 💔 i will always love you
@Moshman17 is because ESPs!
What year and month was the magazine it from
This is what a guitar sounds like when the signal is passed through a piece of tin foil before entering the amplifier.
it says slow but that hand its still moving fast
I never thought of Alexi in that way but now I think I'm getting hot for teacher lol
what strings does alexi play?
haha yeah, he's a huge influence to me though.... one day... one day I will be able to do this :P
Bjarne de Graaf One day you will cry 😭😂
U able yet
what is that guitar???
Seeing Alexi tonight
i want him back to his jackson guitars....
@JojoWildchildLaiho thats what i thought but wasnt sure how much sense that would make lol
Awesome!
Damn dude, what a god.
tuning?
what he played when they said "slow" is about the fastest I can play it
anyone else notice that the font that says "verse" is the same font from the Bullet for My Valentine logo? haha [:
it's crazy how fuckin fluent he is.
i love jacksons tone...
*ESP, his signature
@@braindeadleo everything sounds perfect in his hands...i saw a les paul video of him ..guitar makes no difference for him...be sure to check
@@LOVENISH10 yup, it's in the fingers😓😓💔
Cmin not Dmin. (confusion due to down tuning)
onlycheez Wrong! Tuning does't tell you what key the song is in. The root note of the scale does. If that was the case almost all songs would be in the key of E
PanamaSabroso lol the key is in C minor dude..
PanamaSabroso Yeah but the the song is in C minor and not D minor as Alexi said.
actually he plays 11-50 for D-Standard ;-)
Skwisgaar is from Sweden, not Finland
The blooddrunk solo is amazing when played slowly :)
wht is the easiest song of COB??
Or Barry Black Widow from Hatebreeder in my opinion. Amazing song
it is also very diffricult for me. yea awesome song
Or Barry 'Punch Me I Bleed' and 'Everytime I Die' are some of the easiest songs.
Or Barry angels dont kill
Filip Bozic i think so, and i am practicin it
@Ellinarkkari nothing with the sloppy ness/ he is not using his own amp so the sound is totally Diffrent it might even be a To strong amp
BUT youtube Fuckes up alot !
So this guy dropped out of school because he wasn't doing so well, but his English is absolutely perfect. Just goes to show....
@JojoWildchildLaiho its actually "end of fucking story" which he says alot. thats why he got it lol
Alexi is my fave ever :-)
Is not a fucking new guitar,he played with that at Chaos Ridden Years DVD.
thankfully Alexi posts his ways of doing it because the noob that posted tabs on songsterr got it completely wrong
this is not his guitar sound..does he use another amp??
Is his guitar outta tune, like a lot? I understand it's in drop c but still....
Meanwhile I am playing some guitar, enjoying a nice cool glass of Coca-Cola™. Man that hits the spot.
The key is c minor Alexi.....
Now that you mentioned, it does seem so.....
you can tell he hasn't slept for days
Im actually amazed *-*
D. E. P leyend!!
Banjo string that is! :P
But in all seriousness this song is incredible...
