His breakdown of the riffs and musical knowledge is fantastic. Guitar world or someone should give him a weekly video segment. That would be amazing.
Guitar world already did years ago, bro
Dave is such a fount of knowledge. Intro to The Hive is so sick
I'd hope so he majored in jazz lol
Fount? Did it really save you much time rather than writing fountain
@@tylersmith9868
noun: fount; plural noun: founts.
a source of a desirable quality or commodity.
"our courier was a fount of knowledge"
@@danielcummins9197 Thank man! I'm French and I just discovered new ways to look at some iconic Metal riffs... And a new cool word in bonus!
I didn't know the word "founts" and find it pretty poetic actually :D
I would definitely pay to learn metal-themed music theory from Dave.
just learn music theory
@@BuddhaBKFL i mean it would be much easier to have these metal related examples
It definitely makes music theory more enjoyable rather than a boring study.
@@Qliphirot anything you learn in music theory you can instantly apply to metal
I believe Dave does or at least did private lessons over Zoom if you want to look into it.
A Dave Davidson UA-cam channel where he breaks down riffs and theory would be so sick.
I think every comment on here agrees with you. I know I certainly do.
I can't wrap my head around how amazing his guitar/playing is! It's so CLEAN!!! It almost sounds like everything he is playing is edited and mastered and ready for the full mix... I watch a lot of guitar videos and I've never seen anything like it...
My exact reaction when seeing them open for morbid angel. Heard a song or two but never really listened to them, but I was blown away by how clean and precise the entire band was. Could tell these are extremely professional players.
"It almost sounds like everything he is playing is edited and mastered"
Well to be this clear it basically has to have been edited in post.
@@sole__doubtlmao those were raw single track recordings. He's just that good. Sorry ya can't accept that.
@@mattbarker1411 its compressed for youtube at the very least.
His playing is so clean omg
His tone is just so good every time
Beast guitar player, great band
So cool to hear Dave play some Martyr! I've loved Martyr since Hopeless Hopes and being from Quebec myself, this band is a pride of the metal community over here! AWESOME!!
So many modern metal bands owe a lot of their sound to Martyr and they don't even realise. A truly innovative and revolutionary band that will never get the respect they deserve
I went to see Revocation - in Mtl - recently for NetherHeaven tour and Dan Mongrain (Martyr, Voivod, Carpharnaum) was there, so was Luc Lemay from Gorguts 🤘🏾 Such a epic night!
I think Martyr were one of the best metal bands in general, ever. Certainly upthere with the best
I know right! Martyr were one of those bands that blew my mind the first time I heard them.
So very true ! A band you can never get tired of ! One of my favorite ever.
Dave is so good at bringing all the language of music school and showing you how it’s applied in metal. You hear it when you listen to the records but I’ve never heard someone explain it like this. Not about death metal at least.
What do you mean about "no death metal at least"?
I can make my guitar scream but Dave can do it and knows exactly where he is and where he needs to go. He's inspired me to not only shred but to know what I'm shredding.
That Slayer riff he plays, is one of the best riffs in metal!
The same thought crossed my mind when he played it. One of my favorite thrash metal songs.
Oh yeah whenever I play it people perk up immediately, everyone loves that riff.
This dude has some serious musical knowledge. Really cool to hear him explain riffs. I really need to learn more theory haha
Love this series, keep it going!
loved watching this! excited to see Revocation in October!
Enjoying all these little videos from the desk, Dave!
Well done to Dave and the label for doing so much content around the album release, very pro move and I can never get enough Dave videos.
Looking forward to have more guitar lessons from uncle Dave! Cheers for this one 🤘
Thanks for sharing Dave. Your knowledge on music is very admirable.
Awesome video and amazing jamming with the guitars 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸👍🏻💀👍🏻👍🏻💀👍🏻🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
Great video, thanks for explaining these awesome riffs.
I saw you play live and you are a damn beast!!!!!!!
Cool series!
This is fantastic. More Dave
Brilliant video !!
Love Dave and Revo. Such an awesome band with great musicianship. Hoping to get lessons from the man himself.
Sick Warp Chamber shirt 😎🤙🏻
Man... I've not known about Dave or Revocation before catching them live accompanying Beyond Creation (whom I was diggin hard at the time) - but their stage presence, especially Dave's (blasting lead guitar but also vocals and general beaming into the crowd), and cerebral but still groovy in ya face music made me fall so deep into every single thing they released so far. And hearing Dave talk about music in general and where his inspirations came from, what bands he likes, and for what reasons, just keep me hooked to his lips and hands both - he's amazing. No1 metal guitarist in the world right now, for some years back and more to come.
Much respect to you Dave. I only recently discovered Voivod and I am happy I did; really interesting guitar playing happening there.
Even though he's talking about very classic riffs, it's great seeing him dissect them and showed what he learned from them. Dave is truly a brilliant musician.
This guy is SOOO F.N.BAD ASS LIVE!!! 🔥🔥💪🤘😎 What I love about him &.the whole band is that there very professional live & don't mess around! 1 of the best in the WORLD!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🤘😈😎
Goddamn I didnt know Dave was so knowledgeable in theory
He went to berkley and studied jazz guitar
Study Ron Jarzombek.
Never realized this but that change from Phrygian to natural minor in Symbolic is a good foreshadowing for when the root note moves up a major third in the middle riff
Dave looks like he gives mad good hugs.
Great job Thx.Greetings from Spain
imma need like one of these every week. Dave should stream.
Dave is a beast and just brilliant putting out the sickest riffs
Thanks for the guitar lesson Dave
Aw maaan, after listening to the latest Riffhard podcast with Dave, I LOL'd when he mentions Angel of Death in this video as well. He goes on for at least 10 minutes being such a metal nerd about THAT riff, it was very wholesome, and I relly enjoyed it!
I just saw Revocation open for Unearth in NH wow!! I was blown away!
This dude is great. Super tight playing and seems like a great guy
The bridge to Angel of Death has literally been my alarm ringtone for something like 10 years or more now.
0:27 Master of Puppets - Metallica
3:55 Hanger 18 - Megadeth
06:27 Angel of Death - Slayer
08:16 Symbolic - Death
10:25 Warp Zone - Martyr
Love how they are showcasing dave so much lately. Dave should be a host for some metal knowledge shows on metal injection.
Metallica and megadeth examples, gotta love it.
One of the greatest we will ever see
damn. dude knows his theory. Very, very knowledgeable
Such a cool video. Dan from Martyr was on the most recent episode of The Cali Death Podcast.
Very interesnting
Love his "chord faces"
Oh sweet, I just got into Revocation this week and this drops today!
Dave is a monster player, super legit, he earns that crazy guitar shape, it's not just for show! 🤘
Welcome to the gang bro!
What song got you into them
@@CesarSandoval024 I've known Dismantle the Dictator for years, but then last week I saw that cover he did of Holy Wars, so I figured I'd check out some more songs. They kinda rule and if nothing else I respect his songwriting/playing/frontman presence.
The younger guys really have theory down. As an ear taught early 80s guy I am always stoked to hear technical explanations for things I learned sitting there ripping and listening to my heroes.
that tone is lethal
This guy is so underrated.
Dave is a gift from the metal gods i swear lol
Dave needs his own channel, series, or something. He speaks so well, great examples, amazing theory.
I'm pretty sure he prefers doing music to doing youtube videos.
Dave is sooooooo unique and bad ass. Love his style
Great to hear Martyr not forgotten in time XD Glad I had the chance to see them in Edmonton before they disbanded... They even played a cover of Death's Symbolic that show :D I remember trying to learn Virtual Emotions on guitar but eventually giving up sadface XD
Greatest guitarist in modern metal for sure, and even has my vote for the greatest metal guitarist of all time. I can't think of anyone else that is so technically proficient, yet so musical at the same time.
Love harmonics so much
Wow !!! ok that was awesome.
Dave is love. Dave is life.
I like walkups on the G-String!
Who else wanted him to keep playing the Hangar 18 riff?
I like Dave. He knows stuff.
the greatest metal teacher
Dave is a natural teacher.
I’d listen to this dude for hours. Too bad he doesn’t do the UA-cam thing
Awesome to see some Martyr love! 🤘🤘
The best right hand. Perhaps someone traveled back from the future to install his iChug forearm. More Dave Davidson!
We definitely need a Dave and Dan collaboration. Some kind of Jazz-Death-monster shall arise!
Ive got to agree and say Martyr are so underrated for me, such a unique band and sound.
I would love to watch Dave explain theory for bands that don't use it.
Why? Theory is pointless and only applies to western music. The majority of the greatest guitar players don't know any theory. Just play your guitar and be happy.
@@officialmetalwill Because I know zero theory and I'm curious. Let people enjoy things.
@@officialmetalwill cause then you wound up sounding the same in most of your boring ass songs instead of being different and adding new flavors for sonic inspiration.
Damn I remember when he looked so very young! Dave a grown ass man now. Although even when rev first hit the scene he was a phenomenal musician.
It looks like you really thought about these riffs. I could totally hear the riffs you chose influence into what you play
Top !! 👍🏼
Does David realize he's play the intro to Master of Puppets wrong at the tail? Or maybe it's just his way of playing it. Anyways this guy is a ripper on the guitar, i love his cover of Altar Of Sacrifice!
I've wanted a6 string warrior for as long as they've been out, cool guitars.
Dave should go the route of almost every other UA-cam guitarist and create a paid theory course specifically for the heavy metals. I'd throw money at that.
bro is really named david davidson
he is legit!
New album is siiiiiiick
Great to see classic riffs broken down via theory
WARP CHAMBER TSHIRT !!! ❤
Those Humbuckers
Fits all styles of music
Leave it to Dave to explain a riff I've known how to play for years sound like quantum physics
I want Dave to tuck me in at night telling me tales of phrygian mode.
Warp Chamber shirt fuck yeah
Megadeth is so fun to play
Met this dude when his band opened for Cannibal Corpse, super humble and extremely nice guy. 🤘
Are those pickups Imperiums?
Would have been sick to see Dave play in Megadeth.
Warpchamber! fuck yes man
Rest in piece that amazing beard
Whats the band name on his t shirt?
Admittedly I don't listen to Revocation as much anymore. They're still a killer band, I'm just a little burnt out on technical death metal. But I always enjoy watching Dave talk about guitar stuff. His knowledge and skill are beyond impressive.
I have nowhere near the musical knowledge of this man but can play all but the last riff (due to lack of knowledge of said song not the band) my point being, just play, you can be half decent, just like your favourite player, without having any of the musical theory. Music is fun.
Dave reminds me so much of Jeff Waters!
Thanks Dave for introducing me to Martyr, holy fuck. If you search for them on Spotify, that is not the band he is talking about. Look on youtube.
I can't stop looking at those signature Warriors, please Jackson, unleash those beasts in the Pro series...
I love the Combination of Tech Death and Thrash
