Thank you for writing Into the Dark, that song literally has changed my life and holds some terrifying memories of the pandemic...in only the way a song like that can. My life would be different without that song for the last three years
I really appreciate comments like this. I'm so grateful that my music has had a connection like that and it is my pleasure dude! I hope you're doing well🤘
@@andygillionPractice and playing all the time, and am hoping to put together something that has the same effect on someone that these songs have for me. But that's the beauty of music, it doesn't have to be that way. What I try to do is make sure it's my voice and true to me. But it would be awesome to write a song like Into the Dark and have it have a profound effect on someone. Anyway, thanks for the reply man!
Hemi Cuda I usually play in drop L with 14 gauge strings, lol. Nah, i've bounced from standard to drop A but seem to stay in drop c because even in drop d, i'm looking for a lower open palm mute triplet or chug...
I didn't know there was an English guy in Mors Principium Est! Anyway, it is one of my all-time favourite bands, and the guitar work is so sick. Shreddy and brutal, with just enough chromatic stuff. And your tone is insanely juicy. I lift weights to this album every day like: I AM DESTROYER /squat\ I DESTROY, EVERYTHING I OWN
You're one of my favorite guitarists dude. Mors Principium Est is one of my favorite melodic death metal bands. The harmonies and solos are just so perfect! Keep on headbanging dude.
Thanks so much for taking the time to make this video! Fell in love with Skyless on spotify and found Mors from there! I'm gonna try and learn this immediately, awesome writing!
Thanks, Andy! for a beginner like me, it's so helpful having solo tutorials like this (and for such a kickass song as well!). Maybe I can finally learn my first guitar solo, thanks to you Keep on rockin dude! \m/
I just got put onto you guys this week - MORS PRINCIPIUM EST - are wicked, thanks heaps for taking the time to do this lesson, love the fact you guys play in E. Gonna spread the word about you guys here in Australia \,,,/ \,,,/. and yeah I digged the video of you whinning and dinning your axe, lol hahahahaha - classic
Still a newbie here, even when you slowed things down, I would maybe struggle with that haha, but trying to get in at least 30mins-1hr a day between work, family and games development and slowly getting better. Now that I have discovered that you, THE Andy Gillion actually has a youtube channel (how the hell did I not know this for so long) and you do guitar tutorials, I have so much motivation to practice one of my favourite bands, so thank you good sir, thank you so much for making these incredible videos :) On a side note, I just ordered a Ibanez RGAIX6FM, so hopefully going from my old Fender Squier Strat with hot rails to the new guitar will help in a big way with the learning process.
Your comment really means a lot to me man. If I'm doing anything to help inspire other musicians that's all that matters to me really. Grab your Ibanez and keep at it and just enjoy the journey that is playing guitar my friend :)
otreum25 I’m in the same boat. I find it helpful to slow the video down to .75x speed in the options menu at the top right. I make sure I can play everything at that speed then I step up to full speed.
Love your riffs and leads and MPE in general dude. Thanks for posting the tutorial. Do a video for The Ghost if you can; great song. Cheers and get to NYC \m/
i want to thank you mr.gillion as a beginner guitarist, you're an awesome guitarist and person, really.It's always exciting to listen your guitar work, also it feels fucking great to play.Although i should practice more pinch harmonic and tremolo picking, this will be the first song i'll properly finish.Have a good day and keep writing tasty riffs!!
Thanks Osman, I wanna thank you for sharing your story with me, it's really cool to know people are finding this video useful. Keep it up and it's a pleasure to help!
thank you very much for this one! do you make a tutorial for Masquerade,too? my pants get very wet from listening to that riff in the album preview and it fucked me up that i cant play even further ... good job man
Do you plan on doing a tutorial for Death Is the Beginning? I love that song, it quickly became one of my favorites. Thanks for the awesome music and videos!
Would you consider doing or short video explaining your personal recording setup? Or just telling US what DAW you use and how you program drums? Thanks.
If I can find time I'll try to do all these things. I've been thinking about doing some more tutorial stuff for basic composing. Hopefully in the near future!
Haha. I'm in Melbourne at the moment. We tried getting everyone out here for a tour, discussed plans with a tour manager... It would have cost us money to do it and the tour manager would have made about 4 grand off our work. Welcome to the music industry!
Hey man congratz for your compusing an playing skills! two questions: 1. ¿what scale(s) are you using on the solo? ; 2. ¿are you guys ever planing to do a south american tour?
jesus I really need to look into one of the Axe FXs..i have a black star head with about 12 pedals and sometimes its frustrating as hell to get a tone I like..you Axe FX guys always sound friggin amazing
hey Andy, would you be interested in maybe selling the rhythm patch you use for writing/monitoring? I know the album was reamped. Hard to find good DM metal tones on axechange as everyone is into dryer, djent kinda tones....not my thing, to say the least. Thanks man.
Hey dude, I'll have a think about that, but in the meantime if you've got an Axe FX 2 my rhythm patch is a FAS Modern amp, 4x12 Recto SM57 cab, with a T808 pedal as a clean boost. It's pretty simple but effective for what I play and I totally get what you mean, the world has gone djent mad and it's hard to find good 6-string melodeath suited advice these days. Have a play from there and test out the mics on the cab as they make a heap of difference too.
Muito obrigado! Estou em uma crise de alegria que você respondeu meus comentários aqui no youtube ... Espero que todos os dias você e sua banda se tornar mais bem sucedido! Um grande abraço do Brasil!
Hey Andy! fugging love your riffs! Mors Principim Est are one of our influences. We just put out a new album. curious if you'll give us your throughts!! Cheers!! ua-cam.com/video/bsuMyi7qpBw/v-deo.html
Have you tried the "underworld" in Camden? They gave space to lots of bands I've never heard of who eventually became main acts... For you guys that should be a walk in the park.. or if you fix something with the likes of Kalmah, Tesseract, Insomnium...etc
![Mors Principium Est - Reclaim The Sun [Reaction/Review]](/img/n.gif)
A man dedicated to his art, so glad Mors Principium Est brought you in!
Thank you for this masterpiece Andy🙏🙏 Mors will always be one of favorite bands
i love how simple this song is but it's fucking amazing. Mors Principium Est has been one of my favourite bands for like 12 years.
Thank you for writing Into the Dark, that song literally has changed my life and holds some terrifying memories of the pandemic...in only the way a song like that can. My life would be different without that song for the last three years

Just discovered Mors Principium Est and I’m an instant fan. Great music. Thank you. Amazing guitar work
I found them about a month ago or so. And it was instalove here too. :)
The thing I love about this is 1. It's fucking awesome and 2. You keep your sense of humour in it and add some comedy shit
E standard.. which is unheard of these days.... awesome.. yep I had to tune up again
Just wondering what tuning it was in. Yes, E standard ain't that commen these days :p
Hemi Cuda I usually play in drop L with 14 gauge strings, lol. Nah, i've bounced from standard to drop A but seem to stay in drop c because even in drop d, i'm looking for a lower open palm mute triplet or chug...
Eb or D standard is my favourite. Drop tunings makes it very easy to stay repetitive...
riff sandwiches are the best
I freaking died when you started making the sandwich and even more when you started eating it! hahahaha classic!
Just recently found this band and they absolutely blow me away
Love and respect from Saudi Arabia! Thanks for making Epic riffs and Orchestration

Saw you guys last night in New Orleans. Awesome show, man. Make "The Ghost" tutorial when you have time!
You're one of my favorite guitarists dude. Mors Principium Est is one of my favorite melodic death metal bands. The harmonies and solos are just so perfect! Keep on headbanging dude.

@@andygillion so... we still need that stuff :-)
Thank you for this video, andy. Now time to practice practice practice hahaha
I'm going to hold my pick in the conventional fashion. Too late for me to change now. Love the theme of the song, like battle and glory.
just STUPID good guitar. Thank you for this!
MPE is god
dude, this is damn awesome. thanks for sharing
This man is litteraly critisizing his own song 😂
I love this ban so much...
you sir are awesome
Love your guitar tone man! Care to share your settings?
hail the master!
Andy. Loved the tutorial. Come to Australia please!
I actually moved here in February :)
In Sydney? Mate, get the band together and have a gig!!!!!!!! I will buy all of the tickets (I can't actually make good on this promise). Thoughts?
Haha. I'm in Melbourne at the moment. We tried getting everyone out here for a tour, discussed plans with a tour manager... It would have cost us money to do it and the tour manager would have made about 4 grand off our work. Welcome to the music industry!
That makes no sense and is incredibly depressing.
Very nice very kool i subscribed
Cheers!
1:36 you cracked me man 🤣🤣🤣
Wait.. You aint scandinavian.. You're english.
HALE ENGLISH BROTHER!
The Artwork on your guitar is fuckin* sick
Mors Principium 👍 I been big into Volturyon lately too. Who is this band in the ad?
Hey man congratz for your compusing an playing skills! two questions: 1. ¿what scale(s) are you using on the solo? ; 2. ¿are you guys ever planing to do a south american tour?
It's heavily based around harmonic minor and diminished stuff. We all really want to play South America, just waiting for a tour offer dude!
awesome video :) thx
thanks for this
hey man what kid of gear do you use amps pedals etc your tone is pretty awesome
In my own "studio" I just use my Axe FX 2 man. When we recorded the album we reamped with a Mesa Boogie Mark II C+ for the rhythm parts I believe :)
jesus I really need to look into one of the Axe FXs..i have a black star head with about 12 pedals and sometimes its frustrating as hell to get a tone I like..you Axe FX guys always sound friggin amazing
Cover is done, i just need the Solo from "the ghost" now :D
You take no patience and do that kind of music... I had a baaaaaad feeling bout this
Guys! Please come to Russia! Waiting for you very much!!
Who played drums on the album? 🤔
Andy, could you please do a tutorial video for The Ghost? by far my favorite song on the new album and i fuckin suck at learning :
🤘 what is the DAW you use please ?
I use Cubase! Back then it was 7.5, I'm now using 11
hey Andy, would you be interested in maybe selling the rhythm patch you use for writing/monitoring? I know the album was reamped. Hard to find good DM metal tones on axechange as everyone is into dryer, djent kinda tones....not my thing, to say the least. Thanks man.

Are you using the bridge pickup for all parts of the song?
Yeah for this one it's all on the bridge!
@@andygillion Thanks for the answer :)
🔥💯🔥
thanks for sharing your magic!!! lml(O.O)lml
DAT SOCK OF DOOM IS AMAZING
Please make more of these for songs of similar difficulty level especially haha... monster in me? :)
William Furney
Monster in me is an incredible tune!
I've got to ask what gauge strings you're using... they look so beefy!
Actually I use 9-46 Elixirs! I'm pretty sure it was the same back then!
what are the pickups?i thought that daemoness had black hawk?
trasakas I swapped my blackhawks for EMGs as I was getting a lot of interference from passive pickups from my computer. Both are great pickups though!
that guitar is sick as hell, what is it?
ArchlordCevic Check out Daemoness Guitars ! :)
One more song, please!!!
👏👏👏👏🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I ducking love you dude hahahah
Hey Andy, what picks do you use?
Dunlop Jazz 3s max grip (the small ones) :)
Fucking monster bro haha.
What tuning do you use? please!
E standard dude ;)
Muito obrigado! Estou em uma crise de alegria que você respondeu meus comentários aqui no youtube ... Espero que todos os dias você e sua banda se tornar mais bem sucedido! Um grande abraço do Brasil!
I am only 'planning' to start to learn playing guitar and damn does it look hard haha ;) But if I ever do, damn am I going to learn this shit!! :>
You can do it, I believe in you 💪
@@andygillion Wow, the man himself! ;P Thanks, no excuses now so! Buying a guitar next week when I am in the city! Cheers! :)
what kind of guitar is that?
A "Daemoness" Cimmerian custom
@@andygillion thank you Andy, it is freaking nice :)
Hey Andy, what monitors do you use?
Deeslice Used to have Alesis ones, in this video, now Rokit KRKs!
Cheers for that!
Your videos definately deserve more views! Things you do aren't easy. And they are fucking sweet \m/
What size do you have Andy?
Hey Andy! fugging love your riffs! Mors Principim Est are one of our influences. We just put out a new album. curious if you'll give us your throughts!! Cheers!! ua-cam.com/video/bsuMyi7qpBw/v-deo.html
Dude, why don't you do live shit in England?!
Dude believe me I want to but we just never get the tour offers :( last time we played in the uk was 2013...really hoping for something again soon.
Have you tried the "underworld" in Camden? They gave space to lots of bands I've never heard of who eventually became main acts... For you guys that should be a walk in the park.. or if you fix something with the likes of Kalmah, Tesseract, Insomnium...etc
