So this was done in early 2016...way before hardwired come out. Yet at 1:50 you play the clean riff from halo on fire XD
+Chris Patrick ha ha no it's different I think sounds similar though
wtf that clean at 1:55 sounds exactly like Halo on Fire but this is way before the new album came out???
+Thoth this was a long time go yeah ha ha
That's magic. Either Matt went to future and listened to new album and played halo on fire lick here or James saw this video and made this one into a song.... But it's REALLY close to what is on the new album. Mistery....
yep , James saw it ... Matt must sue hem ! $$$$$$$ :)
looks real fucking comfortable
oh it is \m/
This guitar is amazing and it sounds even better in standard D tuning.
Just bought this beast today! Awesome Review and Playing!
+Zaid Omar nice dude! make a vid and post it when you get it \m/
Hey Matt The Riff Master my Uncle Ray has that model guitar.
That guitar looks like it feels amazing to play.
yup I'm picking this over the E-II
+Frankie Boots ha ha good choice Bro
+Matt The Riff Master 500 bucks cheaper and just feels like more my style
Yeah mann it's a badass guitar dude plays great!
Hey man! I really enjoy watching your videos and I love your playing. I currently own an Epiphone Les Paul Standard Pro, and I was thinking of getting the Snakebyte (which is like my dream guitar). Would it be a worthy upgrade?
+Keshav Parthasarathy hey !! Thank you! My answer to that is a big phat HELL YES!! It's such a good guitar! Plays and sounds killer! Best guitar I ever played !!
+Matt The Riff Master Alright then! Thanks mate. Cheers from India \m/
+Keshav Parthasarathy anytime my friend!
Hi Matt, great review I've got a Gibson melody maker explorer/blackstar Ht1 amp, but can't get that nice Metallica, Pantera crunch that I want, do you think this would help, cheers man 🤘
Dude what a great tone from that blackstar!
Just ordered mine from Guitar Center, can't wait to own it!!
Alex Woodruff so how is it ?
TeamAtFort honestly its the best guitar I own (I have five). It plays great, action is amazing and its smooth as hell. I love it and I'm so glad I bought it
One of my dream guitar...
Hey subbed your channel too ^^ !
Like your videos and especially how you play !!
Keep on Rocking !
+Mannersdorfa thank you my friend! I'm glad you like! enjoy \m/
I noticed that the Snakebyte has a gloss neck. Does it get sticky?
hey man!! well iv been playing it for aboutt 3 years and never encountered any issues with the gloss neck at all!
Nice guitar the snakebyte with kick ass pickups with the right amp it rocks. Schecter has the custom e-1, best bang for the buck $$ it's a steal. It's up to the individual, what do you like best. Nice video and demonstration .
Hey Matt, nice video about this awesome guitar. I'd like to get one in the future, so I was wondering how much did it cost and where did you get it? I see a lot of different price tags online
+Martin Lazar hi when I got it it was £1020 but the price is abit higher now I think
It's not such a bad price I guess, thanks
Very cool guitar
Amazing 🤘🤘
Sweeeeet ! Trying one out Monday hah
all u need is a boss ew in the loop and turn that set up into a dam monster i promise. just make a smiley face in the middle of the pedal with the levers. its like warp to helleven.
Great video. Which model is your blackstar? Sounds just perfect.
+Jason Newsted this one is the Blackstar ID:100 TVP ( true valve power)
Thank you so much
+Jason Newsted anytime! Feel free to subscribe and join the riff master family
+MattRiffMasterSeligmann Of course:)
Thanks buddy, had my eye on this for a while. What gauge strings does it come with? Reckon it'd be good to play drop tuned a step? What pickups do you prefer for rhythm / solo?
+Iron Tanks Pty Ltd hey! This one came with 10's dropped a step sounds good with the right gauge! The hetfield emgs for me just nail it! And the emg 81/60 have always been my favourite!! Great tones!!
Thanks dude, been a while since i've picked up a guitar with active pickups - is the 81 in the neck / bridge? Love the fact that you can get a range of sound with these. I have a blackstar amp with no pedals or other effects (it's only a small 5W amp.. thinking of upgrading for a meatier sound..)
+Iron Tanks Pty Ltd 81 in the bridge dude. Hell yeah blackstar kick maximum ass!! I use no pedals they aren't needed for me just guitar into the amp and I'm good to go
Quite old, but has to be mentioned, not Sperzel, but LTD tuners, and not a Bone Nut, probably just some kind of plastic (not even Tusq)
I used to have a truckster but i lost it when my friend died he liked it so much he used to borrow it then he died I just didnt feel like getting it but im down to move on and im getting me a new James Hetfield Guitar I just wish the Vulture has a snow white color that would be my ultimate dream it reminds me of The flying V he played on MOP
what string do you use ? thanks , by the way sound is awesome.
+Berker Altepe I use Ernie ball RPS dude and thanks mann
Got mine today :) nice guitar !
+POWER FUEL awesome! What do you think of it?
Excellent guitar !! awesome playability and sound !!
PS : I love your videos ;)
hell yeah i agree! and thank you \m/
What's the neck like to play?Is it a fast neck?
+Sean Wakeling for me its a sweet neck! its not really a fast shreddy lead kind of neck its really built for rhythm and maybe so melodic type leads
🤘
I'm torn between two guitars
Which should I buy (price doesn't matter)
1984 Explorer or an ESP ltd snakebyte
+speedytail if you got the money buy the snakebyte!! Such a great guitar!!
Buy esp not the Ltd
An Epiphone or a legit Gibson from 84?
@@livyaquatics8432 Why esp and not ltd?
Claudio Delcioppo they’re the same shit there’s so little difference
Matt master, I just sent you an email, hope you can help me with a little issue with my Snakebyte! lml
Amazing review :D
But I wonder : what effect(s) do you use for your clean sound (whitch sound perfect for me ^^)
+leo pic chorus reverb and delay all built into the amp
+Matt The Riff Master Alright ! Thx dude ;)
I'm a huge Metallica fan but a total guitar beginner. Do you think it's a good idea to get this guitar and learn on it?
+MK hmm if you've got the money go for it but maybe get something abit cheaper to start in case you decide you don't want to do it because you don't want to spend loads of money and then never play ha ha
Thanks for advice. This thing looks so cool it is almost worth having it even if I don't play much :)
Hey you still have the guitar? If so, how does it compare with Schecter E-1 SLS Evil Twin guitar?
I'm going to get one
+Hoang Nguyen Nguyen nice! Check out some of my covers to see it in action
Matt The Riff Master sure!
nice one dude
Is there any difference between this white esp and another black esp on your another video ?
honestly bro thats a nice assss set up man. how does the neck feel and hiw big are the frets
+Tone Fingerz thanks! Feels great to play! And jumbo frets are great! Very comfortable to play
the last riff was like blackened riff
Are you sure the Ltd version has a bone nut? I heard somebody else saying it was a cheap nut?
I know the ESP version has a bone nut
Do you think white or black which one is looks better ?
hey mat, i wanna know could guitar also be good for blues music or it's just for metal ??
+Levi DeGeneres hmmm good question it's a very metal guitar however the EMG het set that is in the guitar the neck pick up does some great blues sounds!
how mutch is a good deal i want to get one and where should i buy it
this or the iron cross in your opinion? i can only get one and im torn
+Richie Helf hmmm well I've never played an iron cross but my experience with the snakebyte has been amazing.. forget about it being a signature guitar . The guitar itself performs amazingly!!!! It's plays and sounds great!!
Matt The Riff Master alright thanks man because i was siding more towards the snakebyte anyway i was just wondering what you thought \m/
+Richie Helf yeah dude you should get it best guitar I've every played
Why is Trogdor the Burninator on the fretboard
I need to know your amp settings for clean and distortion!
I thought the ltd version came with ltd locking tuners, and esp with sperzels?
+esky15 no mate as far as I know the snakebyte comes with the sprezel tuners I think normal ltd modles do have the ltd tuners but the hetfield as its a sig model has the sperzel
+MattRiffMasterSeligmann yours is probably a 2011 model? The one Ive ordered has ltd's.
+esky15 could be my friend yeah
Hey, can I use this guitar for lead. I am asking because usually the rhythm guys use explorer shaped guitars.
Anything’s possible! But I’ve seen people shred on it so yeah it works
This is awesome guitar,only sad thing is your video is underexposed,and ppl cant see the full beauty of this white color!
man i am feeling more lucky than ever.. im looking to buy the tvp100 and i have the ltd snakebyte, and you reviewed my guitar with the amp im into haha lol.. i was like O M G... haha thanks and nice tones... which cabinet did you use here?
ha ha YEAHHH!!!!!!! i used the 4x12 iD cab that goes with the TVP head dude!!! glad you enjoyed mann!! subscribe if you wish and join the riff master family man! \m/
the only con i can find to this amp is that it hasnt got a STEREO effects loop.. i like to combine one amp left and an other amp to the right.. thats what i do now.. i use a jazz chorus 120 as PA and cab with the boss gt100 and it does a good job but im not sure about the distortion, if it good, if it is not.. and im thinking about that head.. not sure yet, what you think? maybe a tube head? or is that good?
HMM the TVP is an amazing head but if you wanted a tube head with an effects look i highly recommend looking at backstairs range i also use the backstair ht metal 100 watt head and it has an effects look and sounds badass dude!! like SERIOUSLY COOL!!!
oh the tvp hasnt got one? damn... thats kinda bad
no it doesn't which is a shame, but there are loads more really good backstar amps. so i highly recommend checking them out dude \m/
Which pedals do you recommend for this axe?
err to be honest mate withs he hatfield emgs a pedal isn't really needed i don't use them or you could maybe check out some of the blackstar overdrives and other pedals but the guitar alone sounds amazing
Nice sound. Actually I have the exactly same guitar, amp. Can you share your settings?
I’ve got videos about my setting if you search through my channel
Matt The Riff Master
Thank you, thought it was a tvp you were playing at, but instruction vid is for ht100?
My setting pretty much stay the same with all my amp heads
Hey Matt, please answer me!
Is there lots of difference in fabrication location? I mean, I found one by 350$ on aliexpress, made in japan. Is that trustworthy? Thank you.
hey dude! hmm aliexpress... i personally wouldn't trust dude it wont be a legit model i don't think dude! definitely not worth the risk dude
Nice! Thank you so much for answering. Where is yours fabricated and how much it cost? ty again
anytime! i got my snakebyte from Dawsons Music online and it cost me £1,020
I thought I read somewhere that this guitar comes with locking guitar strap anchors...can you confirm or deny?
+dknollRX7 this guitar came with just normal strap buttons
Matt The Riff Master Thanks for taking the time to answer my question!
Thanks for the review.Got mine new for a super deal($450US).Best sounding guitar I own!!!And only own 40+!lol
+Justin Thymes III wow! That's awesome!!!
Hey what song is that you are playing at 2:36? That tone is awesome!
is it satin or gloss?
+Nicho las gloss
What is the battery for I want to know can anyone tell me I own one and don't know what it's for
The battery is to power the pick ups because they are active pick ups
What riff is he playing at 2:47?
Do you have any video of master of puppets? If so, can you give me the link?
+Hoang Nguyen Nguyen not yet no but I will do one soon for you my friend
Matt The Riff Master and it will be perfect if you play it on the Snakebyte!
i will mate :)
how much does it weigh?
+iitzAtrollxXx not sure exactly but it is very light. Lighter than it may look
How has the action on the strings held up? Have you had to adjust the truss rod much?
+Tony Fondacaro only when I've changed string gauge but other than that it's fine
Can you play lead on it?
+Johnny Appleseed I don't see why not but it definatly is more designed for rhythm I feel but if you shred then I'm sure you can shred on it dude
where is this guitar made, Japan?
LAYUCHEBI Korea
Tom Lawrence thank for the replay. Are Korean made guitars any good? Never owned Korean one.
LAYUCHEBI I’ve only ever played one Korean guitar and it’s the James Hetfield Snakebyte. Best guitar I’ve ever played by an absolute mile so yeah I’d say Korean guitars are pretty good
Tom Lawrence cheers , im getting this guitars as soon as i get the refund from Gibson explorer B2 i bought and didnt like.
LAYUCHEBI enjoy 🤘
There is a 2000.00 dollar one and a 8000.000 dollar one which one is this?
Ha ha this one was £1,020 and is the LTD version the ESP Version is more expensive
am i the only one getting HIGH fret buzz on this guitar?
hmm I've not had any issues with it
Matt The Riff Master i played with the string height and everything but i cant fix it
may need a professional to look past it
The Egem did you check the truss rod? I had to adjust mine and then lower the bridge all of the way down to have the perfect action.
I regret buying epiphone 1984 explorer
Its sound is terrible and sustain is suk!
redcov why not get it setup then?
Cool guitar... but it’s 1000 dollars.....
Hey, here's an idea: When reviewing a James Hetfield branded guitar, how about playing some Metallica instead of a bunch of bullshit?
