Guitarist Vernon Reid of Living Colour created an instant classic riff with his monster opening riff in the song Cult Of Personality off of their debit album Vivid.
Cult of Personality went on to win a Grammy for best rock performance, but we don't care about any of that. It rocks and that is all that matters.
For the most part the riff is pretty straightforward. However, you will want to pay attention to the picking because that will make playing the opening riff much easier.
After that I decided to also include some of the quick little scale runs that he throws into the riff before moving to the pre-chorus.
You may want to use some slight palm muting to get those fast note sequences to come out clearly. A nice thick distortion tone doesn't hurt either. ;)
Ok that's about it for now. enjoy! Carl..
BEST IN THE WORLD!
joaqs605 o hell yr
I see what you did there lol
CM punk
Agreed
Respect
Deep Purple defined Living Colours as “The most talented yet underrated band ever”
Who is DP said that…?!?
And you can trust Deep Purple. He's one of the smartest musicians ever. Right up there with Pink Floyd and Steely Dan. Just 3 great dudes.
@@touchstonejean2877 Slipknot is an amazing talent, he sounds like 9 different musicians when he performs
Being a beginner, all i was hoping, while searching the guitar lesson for this song on UA-cam, is that i should find a lesson on this channel. i feel like commenting this on every video, thankyou for teaching guitar man❤️
Listened in GTA San Andreas listened in WWE cm punk's theme and now I found it
That two downstrokes an an up is just the fine little details that you put in all your videos not to mention the finger positions. So good at what you do…so thankful ..Carl you are the best at what you do. 🎸
My own personal opinion for people to try. In the intro - when Carl suggest up picking the 3rd note on the D string, also try doing a pull off instead.
Ive found - that at least for me - it is easier to continue & keep the rhythm, and it also doesn’t sacrifice any tonal consistencies. Playing that way helped me a lot when I was first learning the song. Experiment! Good luck!
I pull off on both notes (unless it’s at the end of the riff)
Idk If it’s a skill issue or a sound difference, but the non pull of versions have this weird hollow sound between the D string notes that just don’t sound like the song.
I can usually count on Carl to show riffs I'm thinking of. Chris has great vids. We really appreciate it
Well I promised myself I was going to get off UA-cam and do work after checking my sub box one more time...then I saw this. Dammit.
Holy shit. Someone created that music with a guitar. Incredible..
What did you think it was...?
Anyone watching this in 2023 after cm punk returned to WWE at survivor series and wanting to learn the riff because you’re a wrestling fan but also a guitarist, like me?🤣🤣🤣
Yesss
LOOOK IN MY EYYEEES, WHAT DO YOU SEEEE?
THE CULT OF PERSONALITY !
I KNOW UR ANGER!!! I KNOW UR DREAMS!!
I'VE BEEN EVERYTHING YOU WANT ME TO BEEEE!
I'M THE CULT OF PERSONALITY!
LIKE MUSSOLINI AND KENNEDY.
You really got me amazed! I hunt for a song I want to learn and guess who pop's up first. Awesome take over Carl!
Hey Carl, any plans of recording a full lesson of this one?
Those crazy solos should be fun to play. 🤣
Awesome, just what I was looking for. Any chance you could do a quick video on the solo? Not note for note or anything, but just some of the techniques to make it sound like that. It's almost like organized chaos.
tremolo pick like a madman
OMG...more Vernon Please.
I didn't even know there was a tutorial on this. Can you finish this please??
I'll stick to guitar hero guitar lol
+Firebrand01 hahaha... agreed!
there's always GOT to be wannabe guitarist who hate to make comments like this I hate to hear what the losers makin comments sound like probably suck
You are one of the best UA-cam guitar teachers Thanks for what you do
@@WORLDOFCUSTOMCARZ what
Any chance you could teach the rest of the song at some point?
Vernon Reid plays the first four beats of this riff with his index finger only
Punk, Chicago, United Center, August 20, 2021
You were damn right
Why is the first 3 notes of this tune so damn tricky for me.
the notes are a bit spaced out and fast. Definitely takes some getting used to
Thanks so much for this video ! I'm a huge fan of CM Punk and I've always wanted to play his theme song !
Pleas do the rest includeingthe solos
They look realy hard
1:30
Awesome lesson. I love this song
PUNK IS BACK!!
PLEASE DO THE WHOLE SONGG😭
This is definitely not an easy song to learn and get right! Thanks for the great breakdown!!🎉
Hey Man !! You Play It The Same way I do !! Or I Play It the Same Way You Do !! - Either Way, ALL the Other Instructors, & Vernon Reid Himself Play It Different !!! Seriously, They Way they do is Much More Difficult !! This Way or " OUR WAY " Makes More Sense & is Easier !! So Glad I Checked You Out !! GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE !!
Great will have to give this one a go!
beautiful !!!
many thanks!
BADASS.
Yes! This is right. Every tab I've seen of this has you playing the D on the fifth fret of the A string. Its very awkward and you cannot make the notes ring out properly. I was trying to realize a way to play it and I just could not see it. Duh...
Sadly though that's the way Vernon Reid plays it
What about the main riff in the middle of the song.
Simply Perfect to lern,thanks Carl 🎸👏!!! Lg Jiri😎
Can u make a lesson for burn it to the ground
You my friend are awesome
dude, thanks!
Carl ''The Best In The World'' Brown
cool as all hell
You are awesome man 🤘
Hes back
Can you do some more Van Halen?
What string guage do you use they look thick
Wheres the chorus riff?
Chorus?
Very nicely done but can u teach the rest of the song
Please do solo also
Solo?
Holy sh*t you are amazing.
Anyone know where to find the solos?
Which one?
charles brown - both solos for cult of personality. There is a small one in the middle of the song then a really big one at the end of the song. I have been struggling with them. I learn them from watching the videos, not the tabs. There is a bunch of tabs out there but not much video instruction stuff on the solos. I need slowed down videos.
I can help you out buddy
Len Davis easy just pick as fast as u can and finger random notes, the farther out of key the better u will nail it. Think Kerry king of slayer he does the same thing.
@@MICKSHRED They are not random notes ! He has performed the solo live on stage with very few discrepancies 🥴
this is in D drop ?
can someone tell me what key for soloing
Jaxtapose Rag F
Or at least he is using a couple of bars trying to find a G :D
G dorian maybe?
ouu this one is eazy tnk u
Can you please teach how to play the lead
ok., the solos???
I wish you would cover the solo
What ks it
Too hard
Tunning?
Metal Head standard
i aint no glamour boy !
Tuning?
Standard
Thx
Veron Reid Frets the open D string (that you play) on the 5th fret in doing so it gives the song a different feel and texture, give it a try you'll hear and feel it. what you are playing is damn near perfect and great for beginners
EASY!
Nice, your video!
Who else is here thanks to CM Punk?
Wwe cm punk
Hail the best in the world!
