Great work! If people, who dont like the music, ask me "what i hear" when i listen to slayer, i send them this. (and a cover of dead skin mask or south of heaven from the string quartet)
Totally Freakin’ Awesome... Smooth changes and on Spanish acoustic... Sounded Authentic n Original... My favorite song by Slayer... Nice background by the way...
tekubus 'Sorry sport'. If you knew anything about composing a song, you'd know that there is a vocalist, bassline, lead and rhythm guitar and percussions. Because both the lead and rhythm guitar on the track 'Seasons In The Abyss' are not playing fingerstyle acoustic, it's playing in a completely different style. A cover with an instrument that isn't on the original song isn't going to follow something that isn't there, 'sport'.
Tune half step down to Eb and hopefully you can play finger style first, then slow video down and watch carefully. Its not extremely hard. And of course there's a bit of palm muting. If you try, maybe you can come close and enjoy trying to play it.
This is simply incredible. Just incredible . I now feel like a talentless ten thumb tone deaf noise polluter by comparison. You sir...are truly a legend
I love to play drums to this version.I play the slayer version too,but to hear it in an acoustic,changes the feel a bit for me.I can play it different and not feel like I'm doing something wrong..This really rocks!! Thanks for inspiration
You are ridiculous sir! You actually got me to listen to Slayer and now I'm a fan! Love all your stuff. The world needs some finger style Type O Negative!
Absolutely perfect! Even in classical guitar, I could visualize the slayer words propagating from inside the guitar filling my entire room. Congrats! Tks for sharing your talent!
if you watch the original Seasons In the Abyss music video by slayer it starts out with them in Egypt and through out i think too. but also the riffs are middle eastern based.
Beautiful I really like your interpretation of "Season in the Abbys", I always knew that most of metal bands when played accoustic would sound amazing, thumbs up ;)
\m/ STANDING OVATION BROTHER.! Im Floored.! I cant believe the way you play that.The sounds coming out of that guitar and the way you arrange the bits.Holy shit man,,I'm a huge Slayer fan.I've Covered this song countless times...but NEVER like this..a drummer only needs you.Do we live close??
Slayer is so metal that it is metal even when it isn't metal.
Lucas Grutzmacher Dude, acoustic metal is still metal. Music doesn't need distortion to be metal. 🙆
+Tapani Nuolimies SSLLLAAYYERRRR!!!!!!
Rayene Boussetta
yes
I agree
Han Solo and Jesus had a baby, and he's amazing at classical guitar.
Jesus....maybe. but where do you see Han Solo?
@@project_X_design the outfit
and loves slayer. awesome.
@@woag4143 looks like a shrek outfit
Hahahaha xD
Thought you'd like to know this is one of the very few things that soothes my 3-week old daughter.
Your daughter must be already mature as it has began to soothe me as a 35-year-old-fella.
RIP jeff hanneman great cover
this dude shows why the guitar is probably the BEST instrument in the world!!!
You've turned nylon into metal what sorcery is this?
Garnet Bezanson It's Black Magic.
(ik this is an old comment but I had to)
never thought it was possible to put one of my favourite thrash metal tracks onto an acoustic guitar. blew me away
During the first half of the intro I half-expected Clint Eastwood to appear wearing a poncho and chewing his cheroot.
Brilliant work!
this guy has natural ears for notes..
Where are his ears.
god, has it really been 10 years, phil? still love the shit out of this
Thanks man
Great work! If people, who dont like the music, ask me "what i hear" when i listen to slayer, i send them this.

Now this is the kind of cover I like! Not some hipster with a ukulele trying to be ironic.
Is that a jab at Rob Scallon?
Anybody who does that kind of crap.
Fuck you Rob Scallon is awesome
Lmfao I was thinking that douche from Twenty One Pilots LOL
Rob Scallon has a lot of great unironic covers as well
Amazing job! Love the pyramids.
Thank you for showing the beauty of slayer. I almost wept blood. You are like c4 you blew that shit up..
dude am freking impressed!!!! wow very good job
Thanks!
Totally Freakin’ Awesome... Smooth changes and on Spanish acoustic... Sounded Authentic n Original...
My favorite song by Slayer...
Nice background by the way...
I'm your fan, you play very well and could teach us with tablatures
Matheus, Phil sell the tabs, but never send it !!! :( :(
tekubus For an acoustic cover it's not 'wrong', because it's an acoustic cover.

Slayer and Napoleon Dynamite = Gods among humans
Freakin awesome arrangement. Especially the vocal melody.
Flipping genius. Your channel has become my new Pandora station.
WOW! Masterful and you gave the song so much depth.
Because thats whats in the Seasons in the Abyss music video
I love to play drums to this version.I play the slayer version too,but to hear it in an acoustic,changes the feel a bit for me.I can play it different and not feel like I'm doing something wrong..This really rocks!! Thanks for inspiration
Daaamn! This deserves at least 10 millions views!
This is badass!
WoW! Who needs a bass and drums?! You play it all. Awesome!
Phil that's a great choice. The acoustic arrangement is refreshing and challenging - and it rocks.
You are ridiculous sir! You actually got me to listen to Slayer and now I'm a fan! Love all your stuff. The world needs some finger style Type O Negative!
This guy just flat out rips on the fingerstyle guitar , Never gets muddled up either.
Absolutely perfect! Even in classical guitar, I could visualize the slayer words propagating from inside the guitar filling my entire room. Congrats! Tks for sharing your talent!
Wow man! This is pretty brilliant. I didn't expect you to play the vocal lines on the guitar as well. Blown away.
if you watch the original Seasons In the Abyss music video by slayer it starts out with them in Egypt and through out i think too. but also the riffs are middle eastern based.
power of one acoustic guitar!!
sounds so good acoustic
loving the pyramids in the back!
Wow......and the Giza plateau is too cool!
