@todor15 they use such high output pickups that they can register the vibrations from the tremolo springs and you can hear it on a recording, so the tissues and tape make it so that the springs don't vibrate.
The more i see his videos the more i come to realize. He doesn't cut out the mistakes because HE DOESN'T WANT TO. I think what he's doing is that if he shows his mistakes then he knows someone will think that very talented guitarists like himself, aren't perfect! A great motivational boost for the young guitarist learning!!
@danobrien2468 Fair enough man, i'd definately recommend downloading their 'Conclusion of an Age' album and check out the new stuff thats coming out like 'Empyreal' and 'A serpent's tongue' (all which can be found on youtube!)
it amazes me that Matt and Corey can play these riffs without any unease and that they are totally chilled out while playing insane triplets and tremolo picks FUCKKKKK TRIVIUM IS THE BEST!
All this is what helped me not only get better at playing seven strings (with inspiration) he also helped me get better a full chords and going out side the box to write a metal song.. thanks Matt Heafy for being one of my mentors =D
In an interview Matt sayed that they might be making a 3 part video. Im not sure if they are making it now or if it will ever be made at all, but it would be sick. \m/
@RikkudoSennin As Dano said Chromatic is essentially any note listen to "Sweating bullets" by Megedeth the first part of the solo (descending section) is chromatic. Basicall playing the notes one after another. Using notes from the key, and passing notes (Notes not in key). The whole point of it is to use them as passing notes you wouldnt stay on a C if your in the key of B because it would sound out of place and a bad clash would occur, though it can work, but i wont confuse you more XD
@zakkp22 i think they use like mini marshall or blackstarr tube heads and 1x12 cabs boosted with a maxon overdrive or a ibanez tubescreamer for the sound on most lesson videos that and the razorback 7 string
i know what you mean my instructor who went to school for music (lucky to get a teacher like that) showed me some books to checkout when I decided to get serious about music and it helped out even my metal playing more scales more chord rhythms more diversity
@SRcRasher Yeah, I'm with you on that. I can't see why people are comparing them when Sylosis are much more death-metal-ish than Trivium and clearly want to sound different. Love em both though ;P
yh when your recording in the studio, you'll be playing the same riff at the same tempo for a long time. and after a while, you start to play from muscle memory. so when you slow it down, you find it trickier to play. well thats what i find anyway :p
@TriviumShogun2008 Ummm, when you get used to playing something at a certain pace, to change the speed makes it harder to play. If you go into a high school music class and get the students to play something fast, when you tell them to play it slow, they will probably get it wrong.
So the rhythm when the solo is going on is chromatic, yeah? Some one please correct me if I'm wrong. I'd really like to know as I'm beginning to study music.
"F**K! This riffs are hard to play slow!"
Yes Matt, and they are also hard to play fast. :D
Matt Heafy is pretty underrated in terms of his technique, the guy is so damn clean
@todor15 they use such high output pickups that they can register the vibrations from the tremolo springs and you can hear it on a recording, so the tissues and tape make it so that the springs don't vibrate.
i have never heard of this guy till now and i can tell he can really play
! best of luck to him and his
see yeah
g
The riff at 3.36 is really cool.
"I dont know music theory... " its k matt, im sure of most of us musicians dont too XD
that shogun run at the beginning is a fist pumper for sure, especially after the solo
Omg, that day he made that riff at 4:32 in Denmark, I met him and the rest of Trivium after the show! They were so awesome, so glad I met them. Jakob
The more i see his videos the more i come to realize. He doesn't cut out the mistakes because HE DOESN'T WANT TO.

The ingenuity that these guys produce is mind-destroying.
@danobrien2468 Fair enough man, i'd definately recommend downloading their 'Conclusion of an Age' album and check out the new stuff thats coming out like 'Empyreal' and 'A serpent's tongue' (all which can be found on youtube!)
Best fucking band in the world!!
Love their harmonies!
i think he is one of the best guitarists in the world!!!
oh god the freaking riff to shoguns insane i wouldnt even try learning that song shattering the skys above is hard enough for me
it amazes me that Matt and Corey can play these riffs without any unease and that they are totally chilled out while playing insane triplets and tremolo picks
FUCKKKKK TRIVIUM IS THE BEST!
All this is what helped me not only get better at playing seven strings (with inspiration) he also helped me get better a full chords and going out side the box to write a metal song.. thanks Matt Heafy for being one of my mentors =D
It's nice to know professionals still mess up. Makes them feel more down to our level.
My god, the first riff ♥ :) can't get it out of my head.
Matt Heafy is the reason i started playing guitar... ive idolized him ever since i was 7
I love how matt gets things right too, kinda makes you think not everyones perfect and we're all humans
loved Shogun, amazing album
fav song off of shogun and fav song in all
Into the Mouth of Hell has such a badass riff :D
"It's hard not to plays fast."--Toki, or maybe it was Skisgar.
In an interview Matt sayed that they might be making a 3 part video. Im not sure if they are making it now or if it will ever be made at all, but it would be sick. \m/
Unfortunately It Never Was 😢
@thevirum i believe it i played about 5 hours a day when i started but then i enjoy it very much, he has really clean picking.
that first riff sounds soooo damn gooood! this guy is a genius and apparently plays mostly by ear. legend!
Fastest triplet I've ever heard. So clean
i can really hear that park bench coming through there. very nice...and...er...planky...wonderful
@lefthandovRA its the irish in him that drives him to drink heavily and the japanese in him that causes him to drive. hes a ticking time bomb.

@zuzlikq they are using the b monitor. ricky ludiper invented it in 1982. it slowly graduated into d format but is now beadgbe poindexter.
@zakkp22 i think they use like mini marshall or blackstarr tube heads and 1x12 cabs boosted with a maxon overdrive or a ibanez tubescreamer for the sound on most lesson videos that and the razorback 7 string
One of d best song of this album
love the solo riff from shogun!
shogun obra de arte
i love that tone
He's amazing
@RikkudoSennin Chromatic means there's no key to it (as I'm sure you know) and this is in B Minor which is B, C#, D, E, F#, G, A, B.
3:20 = the most awesome metalcore riff you'll ever hear
@MyFallenIdolMusic That's not the tuning, that's the key of the song. The tuning is 7 string BEADGBe (Low to high) :)
@pjuckazz lol no, i just put them there now :) people keep asking so i thought id put them where everyone can get them. cheers dude \m/
OMG i love the first riff he does its so epic
@dannyboy472 NO standard 7 string tuning the 7th string is a extra low B
HAHAHA "FUCK! These riffs are hard to play slow." That is funny as hell to me.
I like how hes not afraid to show fuck ups- cause every other guitarist cuts that stuff out but Matt is a fucking bad-ass
@TheDuckASickSecret Yeah you are right, the only difference is on a 6 string B standard has a F# (BEADF#B)
i love matt
i know what you mean my instructor who went to school for music (lucky to get a teacher like that) showed me some books to checkout when I decided to get serious about music and it helped out even my metal playing more scales more chord rhythms more diversity
man my face just melted when i saw him do that!
On some guitar solos but all the rhythm and most guitar tracks were all passive.
Matt's solo in Prometheus he's using EMGs you can hear it.
@danobrien2468 I think that they are different bands, but great bands too, i dont know why people compare both bands...
I like how he admits how the first song has a normal chord progression which really happens all the time in music.
i really really like how they dont take the mistakes out thats freakin pro haha
@stixflix06 It's refreshing to listen to a new band that is genuinely talented... and British :D. Definitely going to be buying their stuff soon
@RikkudoSennin No, it's pretty much just B minor with an open pedal tone.
So it'd be 0-2-3-0-3-5-0-5-7-0-7-8-7-5-3-0
@pjuckazz I put some links in the description ;) They're both tabbed by myself.
@FinalFight323 I lvoe that white dean ml also its so like basic but so epic at the same time
yes. its also called standard seven string tuning
@SpawnCall i noticed it in of the dvd trailers on utube
1:52 XDXDXDXD
My God he's so funny!
I Love Trivium, Matt and Corey are two of my favourite guitarists, they're really great.
@Machinehead18 They said in Guitar World that they're going back to drop-D. Probably because Gibson won't give Matt a 7 string Les Paul.
@motleycrueman332 its gojira im pretty sure, or something similar to that, pretty heavy band too! :)
awesome riffs :d
@SRcRasher Yeah, I'm with you on that. I can't see why people are comparing them when Sylosis are much more death-metal-ish than Trivium and clearly want to sound different. Love em both though ;P
do you have the tabs man?? keep in rock \m/_
Nice nice. I practice a good 5 hours a day and I've been playing for about 3 years, I love playing guitar :]
yh when your recording in the studio, you'll be playing the same riff at the same tempo for a long time. and after a while, you start to play from muscle memory. so when you slow it down, you find it trickier to play.
well thats what i find anyway :p
do you mean the whole Shogun DVD?
If i get the time then i probably will.
man he stuffs up so much in these vids how does he do it live while singing. P.S TRIVIUM FUCKING RULE
@TheTylerGeissler hes not using active pick ups in this video.
I love that Matt messes up often enough...it's shows that normal guitarists have a chance too!
hey do any of you know why he put the tissues in the back by the springs? thx
Hey, can you put up the making of?
That riff at like 2:38 where he's just saying "it's a cool melody" sounds heavy as fuck.
@deadlol1 the acoustic intro right?
@TriviumShogun2008 Ummm, when you get used to playing something at a certain pace, to change the speed makes it harder to play. If you go into a high school music class and get the students to play something fast, when you tell them to play it slow, they will probably get it wrong.
@dannyboy472 Standard 7 string tuning (BEADGBe). So if you have a 6 string you'll need to tune down to drop B but you'll lose the high E :/
similar but no the same. In Kirisute Gomen are two chords E minor and B major. In Shogun are 4: B minor, G major, D major, F-sharp major.
@dannyboy472 B standard, which is one whole step lower
@danobrien2468 I think if you tune your guitar to BEAGBe then you can get something out of that. i saw one guy one here use that tuning
i can tab it out in a message and send it to you if you like?
how does tissue and tape help to reduce the noise?
@FSADM probably his custom ones
So the rhythm when the solo is going on is chromatic, yeah? Some one please correct me if I'm wrong. I'd really like to know as I'm beginning to study music.
I love how their logo is on the 12th fret on the guitar :D
@SatyrX09 yes
@6project6nightmare6 No man, I actually appreciate it. ;D Thanks a bunch dude!
is he playing whit down picking the riffs and things like that??
Matt is a god!
@stixflix06 Your comment made me check them out and they're really good :) But not as good as Trivium in my opinion :)
as much as possible, anytime you can
does anybody know what pickups he's got in this guitar?
Do they use active pick ups?
@kobz48 Yes because even Matt Heafy and Trivium are still human, which is hard to believe
@TheDuckASickSecret Yes, it is
His triplets are soooooooooooo fast!!
Don't think many people realise how good Matt (and Corey) are...
what does he mean when he says
"in the key of b minor"?
@abhinav1102 He is? how do you know that?
does anybody have tabs for the melody part of the chorus cos ive just spent an hour tryin to work out what hes playin and im goin insane....
1:50 what's the song name?
