For years..Every like 6 months I return to this video. I fucking love Michael keene.
What's up dude I know u!!
Brian Serotta Cheers!
So how y’all know each other
This dude is a godly composer
those chords in sons of belial are so SICK man, beautiful
Dudes a god damn genius.
minor triads + accidentals + dissonance = satan
hahahahahaha
What does he mean by accidentals?
+Fonzo Hernandez
Chromatic notes
+ slightly out of tune I guess...? What the hell was that
not sure how to explain, he clearly demonstrates the concept at 1:18
best three finger guitarist I have ever heard!
dudes a fucking beast.
That ain't no fucking joke.
Zachary Branham u speak the truth. he is a true master of the class.
jubzz insaine That he is. I also feel he is terribly underrated.
Zachary Branham Eh I wouldn't say that. The Faceless are very big in the metal scene and Michale Keene is a widely known name.
2:54 he went full Nick Cage right there.
HAHAHAHAH I NEVER THOUGHT ABUOT IT THAT WAY but damnnnnnn u rite u rite tho
That’s oddly accurate
Those chords at 4:00 like explain my existence ahahah, man so layered and flavorful. I can't stand people that discredit metal. These guys are technical and soul gods.
i don't use my pinky either. i also don't play guitar
Lmao!!
I really wish he would do more of these videos. I’d love to see his genius in action. Such a ridiculous player and writer.
Michael Keene is the proof that you don't need more than 6 strings to be fucking heavy
+Thrashmetalkicksass Opeth is the proof that you don't need to down tune to be heavy
+Thrashmetalkicksass Sylosis is keeping it heavy too, in standard tuning ;)
+Thrashmetalkicksass lamb of god is proof you don't down tuning or more than 6 strings to be heavy
yeah but 10 string is heavier
+Jerrylee Stewart-Gonzalez Lamb of God uses drop D tuning.
He'd rather tap than just USE HIS DAMN PINKY
He even says in the video it sounds faster to just tap. I play it with my pinky and i tap
he needs to tap for the second sweep anyway so why shouldn't he already place his hand like that before?
Hope you get over yr addiction.
Yr absolutely an amazing composer and artist. And one helluva guitar player. Yr last record was beyond amazing.
I'm ready for the sequel.
Snap out of it dude.
Equivs to prayers on yr recovery...for real.
@George James is it so hard to stfu?
Oh wait I mean
"shut the fuck up"..?
There see? I even spelled it out for ya fucknut...
I´ve always loved his harmonic progressions and linear soloing. So this video is a huge delight for me. The Faceless are the non cheesy version of Dream Theater. Especially if you take Autotheism.
Michael is an extremely gifted musician. I have a healthy jealousy his finely-honed skills. He's a damn good looking dude, too.
it seems to me that you like weinkeys. McPeppy, check out 'BTBAM Best solos' for a taste of the glory! See what it tastes like!
Last part was weird AF but okay
📸
yeah he's gorgeous, no homo tho.
@@SkateSmokeAndDrumbit of light homophobia?
the sons of belial ending solo is the most beautiful thing the faceless has ever written
i Love listening to guitarists talk about music cuz we all have our own names for things so depending on the musician you talking with/listening to depends on the vocabulary you gotta know.
God that lineup, man.... this is still my biggest inspiration and you can hear it in the way I play. I fucking miss the faceless, this and akeldama faceless
Akeldama is my favorite, but all their albums have good songs. Instrumental illness is so fucking good
That tone is so sick.
True!
Michael Keene and AJ Minette are so under rated :(
The way he makes chords has had such an impact on the way I make my walking bass lines. I play prog rock/electronic rock stuff. THANK YOU MICHEAL KEENE
One of my favorite metal guitarists.
one of my favorite bands
LOVE THAT TEE!!! WAY TO GO SIR MICHAEL KEENE!!
Michael Keene is unbelievable
Watching this many times throughout the years, finally grabbed my guitar and tuned to drop C. Those chords are so much harder to play clean than he makes it look, gives me a deeper respect for his skills.
Amazing.
love his tone
That opening riff from the Ancient Covenant is so dope!
that's a beautiful finish on that guitar
Me, nodding along, pretending I understand: "Ah yes, accidentally triad minor, yes, yes of course"
digging the NIN shirt, great video!
thank you!!!
Very nice BRJ
Oh so NOW you send me these UA-cam 😤😤😤
Where TF were you 6 years ago!!!
Same
Awesome player and The Faceless is an awesome band. I came late to the party, but I am making up for lost time (ha, ha).
Each album is wicked. The newest is a giant leap, too. Not better or worse, just different. I love it.
Im so keened out
"and that is.. the riff :3" hahahahah
excelente! muy bueno para estudiar los temas :3!
This dude was nice enough to actually sign my Ibanez... stil haven't fully recovered from how much my jaw dropped lol
Fuck. The chords he was playing. So beautiful and badass
Watching this in 2020... in 1080p! Did you guys had cinema cameras back then? Most videos from 2012 are crusty potato quality.
Finally!
The point he makes at 3:51... awesome. I may need to try some drop tuning. Started looking into this guy as a curiosity and now I'm learning some cool things from him!
ha 10 years later and I'm thinking the same, never heard anyone say that about playing in drop tuning. usually it's just about the chugs, but he's talking about chord extensions. interesting.
Pretty sure that tapping run is from Autotheist Movement III no?
I always liked him
Love the minor-major 7th chord use
Genius.
Yeah I just recently started using a metronome and I didn't realize how much it helped. :D
The song of the intro is Planetary Duality I
his voice is makes me feel like I'm taking guitar lessons from lumpy space princess... Great lesson, he is such a talented music composer.
thenaks for the swift replly !
I've watched this video a lot
I dont wanna be a dick but this is one of the first riffs I learned I'm not kidding
Planetary Duality I (Hideous Revelation) but that is just the intro for Planetary Duality II (A Prophecies Fruition). Hope it helps.
Man i remember seeing these guys in toronto back 2009 with veil of maya, they were fuckin savage and blew us away even for a small crowd of 100
I’ll not even learn it but I like to watch every detail
i actually like the intro song for guitar messenger whats the song called?
The 1:32 sweeps weren't maj 7 right? That sounds minor like the 2 first chords
thnx!
Hey guys, there's a link to tabs of all examples in the description!
nope, you liar
Glad somebody else noticed!
thx
If my shitty explaining will help you in any way, basically an accidental is a note that doesn't really belong in a scale or mode. For example a C Maj scale is CDEFGABC, so if you play C-C#-D-D#-E-F, the C# and D# would be accidentals since you don't see them in a C Maj scale.
Triads are the basic fundamental notes of a chord/arpeggio. An A Maj chord is made of the notes AC#E. Play those 3 notes in succession and you're playing an A Maj triad. Hope that helped a bit.
That Bernie Rico Jr. guitar finish is ballin
its his custom Bernie Rico Jr guitar. He also uses a green Washburn wm526.
Good...!!
Tapping riff at 5:00 is the solo tapping section in the song Deconsecrate xD
What guitar is that ? I love the look
this man knows his theory
Hmmm what Guitar brand is that? o.O its pretty cool!!!
Bernie Rico guitars are that awesome??
Do you think the majority of metal guys know theory?And those people who gave 30 thumbs up on the comment that a Minor maj7 chord is fancy?Anyone who knows the bare minimum theory knows that shit.All the basic chords minor,major and dominant with all the extensions.Knowing them is easy.Using them to sound good is another story.And Keene uses them very well.
Is that your BRJ as well or Keene's? Either way it's a killer looking guitar. It's making me look at BRJ more and more everyday hahah.
its a single note, which is called a root, (since the chord is built upon starting with that note).. with an added flat 3rd, and a 5th.
does anyone knows what song its on the intro at 0:10 ?
Bernie Jr guitars are all sick as hell i hope i can afford one some day, a man can dream right?
go listen to their music and you tell us but i am gonna go out on a limb and say he is a beast by far 1 of my favorite guitarist's
Does anyone know what guitar he is using?
Love those chords. Piggy would surely approve.
anyone know what exact model b.c. that is?
dunno if anybody has asked it yet but what's the song in the beginning of he video
+Daniel K. A spy chord is minor chord with a major 7. Austin Powers. Also a C-shape major7 chord with a #5 sounds pretty james bond.
what's the song in the begining called? thanks!
Like the NIN shirt.
What's the intro song.
dear guitarmessenger, what did michael keene play through in this vid. it sounds killer
OH SHIT! THE KEENE MACHINE STRIKES AGAIN!
What's that thing at the top of the headstock?
Flat third is the barr and the fifth is the ring?
I'm new to The Faceless so forgive me when I ask, what's the song playing in the intro?
Planetary Duality I (Hideous Revelation)
Thanks buddy
💙👍👌👴❤💙💚💗💖for Face less!!!!!
@alex villa it's planetary duality part 1
What kind of guitar is that? Thanks!
wheres your source that he has focal dystonia? I knew he had some sort of problem that was rumored. but never found a reliable source of him saying it himself.
please tell me they're playing on six strings
what's the name of this first song? anybody? not the "ancient covenant". the intro?
+DeRon Patton Planetary Duality I: Hideous Revelation
Planetary Duality I
planetary duality 1
