I'm Pete Cottrell, I play guitar! Having fun with metal guitar doing everything from modern metal, extended range djent 7 strings and 8 strings to thrash metal on a good old 6 string. Riffs in the styles of other bands, shredding and lots of fun with metal music!

I can't wait to see what the next 10 years brings! Which video has been your favourite so far? Thanks for watching everybody! :)
Regenerate was a turning point for me. I started guitar when I was 15 but I stopped for many years due to school and work (I know, bull**** reasons). But when I got back to it, I saw Regenerate and I was like, "Holy s***" That video turned me onto a whole new style of metal, Agile guitars, and a mild addiction to your music. Thanks, Pete!
Too many to choose
The uptuned metal/downtuned metal vids. I still go back to those all the time.
The micro Marshall always sticks out in my mind, as well as the one string One cover
@@Powermad-bu4em I just watched those again. Those were 6 years ago. Wtf
As “bad” as you say they were, two of your earlier videos were why I’ve been a subscriber for so long: “7 String Guitar | Ibanez Apex 1 - Metal” and “Seymour Duncan JB and Jazz
Pickups - Metal”. To this day, I still go back and watch those here and there because they are so awesome 🤘😁
Congrats for turning 10 years old on YT!
Although I didn't get to comment nearly as much as I wanted to, I've been following your content for almost 8 years from now.
I've gotta say, my favorite-videos have always been the collaborative things and the 1 riff/20 bands-challenges. There's something magical happening, when UA-camrs come together for music-projects, and the riff-challenges were always fun, but also very inspiring.
Looking forward to the future, and trying to interact here a little bit more, again!
I've been following you for years, Pete, and I love your new content just as much as your old content. Sure, the quality is better now, but I still go back and listen to some of your older songs like Moonshine and Regenerate. Keep going, man. Like you said, I can't wait to see what the next 10 years have in store for you. You're my favorite guitarist of all time.
Thank you so much, I appreciate that! I'm pleased that you're still enjoying the content all these years later. I can't wait to see what the next 10 years brings! :)
Congrats!!! You’re one of my favorite musician on this platform! I hope you can continue this path for many more decades! You are truly an inspiration for a lot of people! Keep on rocking! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Thank you so much! :)
Not sure when I jumped on this train but I know I've been here for at least 4 of those 10. I'll still be here for the next 10! Keep being awesome, man!
I love the riffage from your EMG 81 vs 85 video a few years back. I still come back to it from time to time.
Love ya so much Pete!
I've been following for about 8 years and I still remember finding this channel and just listening to some of the tracks on repeat as background music.
I never miss a video, every upload brings me joy, keep it up as the best riff machine on youtube, here's to another 10 years mate
Thank you!!! :)
Congrats on 10 years. I remember your collaborations with Rob Scallon with Djenty Metal Town and Progressive Metal Town. Great music.
Congratulations on your 10 years!
I’ve been following you only for the last 2 years or so but I always find your videos fun and nice to listen to, wish you more success!
I think my favorite video that you made in the last ten years is the video where you make a Periphery song in only 1 hour. To me, that sounded awesome.
Haha that was a tough one, I'm still not convinced it sounded like Periphery but it had some cool riffs for sure! Thanks for watching! :)
Some time ago I was writing some riffs for my last band, and it was inspired by As I lay dying and one of your riffs and so, the working title of the song became "As Pete Cotrell lays dying". I know it may sound a little morbid, but I hope you take this as a homage. I hope you keep doing what you're doing, I miss the days when everybody was realising more videos. It was really inspiring.
Cheers dude, congrats on keeping on that long!
Haha, that’s awesome! I hope it was super heavy! :)
I remember first stumbling across you in Rob Scallon's "Djenty Metal Town", sometime back around 2014.
Hah, we're not getting older, just slower & smarter. Cheers and thanks for all this beautiful noise, Pete 🍻
Here since 30k subs
I know, not the earliest of birds, but you haven't _once_ disappointed me, Pete
Many bigger channels wish they had this track record!
I've been watching your videos about 3 or 4 years now and I gotta say that you're pretty underrated compared to other guitarists on youtube. You're one of my all time favorites and I love your playing always you inspired me to pickup my guitar always!! Thank you
Happy 10th anniversary!
Love your content, please feed us more of this in the future:)
Congrats on 10 years, Pete! looking forward to your next decade... and on!
Thank you! :)
Congratulations, Pete! Here's to another 10 years of awesome metal riffage! Cheers!

I discovered your channel by looking reviews of the Ibanez Apex 1, was one of my dream guitars back in the day
Love me some PRS, treated myself with a new one recently. Congrats on your channel's anniversary!
Thanks! Which one did you get? :)
@@peteplaysmusic SE Standard 24 Blue, totally loving it 😁
And I've watched every single video... I can still remember the day when I found your channel about 6-7 years ago and binged all of your stuff ^^ Please never stop!
Haha, thanks! :)
Cheers man! well done!
Love u and ur stuff bro congrats for your 10 years on UA-cam❤️
From France🤘🇨🇵
Thanks! :)
Man, i love your videos. You is a big influence to me when i play. Thanks for all you doing!
Thanks for watching! :)
I followed you from my old account since 2011-2012, you had less than 2000 subs back then!
Congrats on 10 years, I love your channel it's one of the few metal/guitar based channels I follow, always look forward to your vids, hopefully we get at least another 10 years of them haha
Haha, Thanks! I can't wait to see what the next 10 years brings! :)
Success well earned!
Man you've gotten much better through the years! I love all of your videos, but if I have to name my favourite I'd say its the Apex 2.0 video where you demoed the Siggi Braun guitar. I absolutely love that song, played it nosntop for quite a good while and I still come back to it every now and then.
Thanks for your videos, they are always a tons of fun and you are a big inspiration to actually keep practicing!
That’s one of my favourites too! Thanks for watching! :)
As far as I remember the first video for me was "in unison", I suscribed and instabuyed the tune on bandcamp ^^
Wow that’s an old video haha! Thanks so much for watching :)
Yes man.You do good job.Keep it up.
Thanks for watching! :)
Yeah! Good Job dude!)
I think, one day you been have a 1 000 000 subscribers)
And I love your "7 String Guitar | Apex 2.0" and videos like a "Metallica Played In The Style Of Modern Metal" or "What Does 100 METAL ZONES Sound Like?" :D
this is the first notification in 2 years, THANKS YOU TUBE!
I think I was here for 7 ?! of those years. Here's to 10 more!
Thanks for watching! :)
At my eyes you're one of the best UA-cam guitarists Pete, technicaly and for the inspiration of all your creation. I remember few years ago discovering your videos and watching them again and again thinking that i would love to do like you. Your music really deserves to be know and listened by everyone. I think my favorite video is the Dominion song played on one of your first and old guitare, but the solo of Adèle cover with Léo is just awesome and perfect ! Keep going, it's everytime a pleasure to hear you play, long live to your music Pete🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻
Those are some of my favourites too! Thanks for watching! :)
congratz for 10 years journey
remember seeing your video by youtube recommend and first video was APEX i believe lol
and most emotional and nostalgic one are when you make review Dimebag Darrell Seymour Duncan video
i remember waiting for my father on hospital...
well he died from Cancer a month after that.....
so whenever i miss my dad, always cameback to that video....
I’m sorry to hear about your Dad, I’m very pleased that my videos could help you remember him. Thank you so much for watching :)
@@peteplaysmusic thank you for everything, Pete
good luck for next 10 years!!
Hell yeah!
I've been following you since jared dines shout out your chanel. Love your videos and i wish you upload more often but i know it takes a lot of time and patient to do youtube videos. Congrats for your "pre teen" chanel.
Wow that video was a long time ago haha, thank you so much for watching! :)
hat - mascot of this channel
Haha! Absolutely, I don't think I've done a video without a hat :)
Congratulations Pete!
I'm not worthy - I'll stick to transistors :)
Cheers!
SM
How much of that 10 year old track did you remember and how much had to be relearned 😄 congrats on the journey so far man! I remember stumbling across your older vids like the Phil Demmel V demo and the emg 81 vs 85 vids. Made some killer songs and great vids since then mate, glad youre still keeping it all going and doing well🤘
Thanks, yeah the Demmelition V video is still one of my favourites too! I actually remembered quite a bit if this song, I got a couple of notes wrong initially and had to figure out the bridge again but most of it came back really quick haha! :)
@@peteplaysmusic funny how muscle memory works isnt it. All the best for the future dude!
Thank you for everything you do, you have helped my depression on really hard days, may Jesus bless you
Happy to hear that my videos have helped! Thanks for watching :)
Been faithfully watching and sharing for about 7 of those 10 years. I haven't looked yet, but any chance this riff/song could find its way onto Bandcamp? 😁
I think the original is on Bandcamp, but I’ll see if I can upload this version too. Thanks for watching! :)
Congrats, Pete, still play music!!!!
Thanks! :)
Петруха могет! Красавчег!))))
cannot be that bad. The new video of 8 days has volume for drums and bass, but the most essential is the guitar and we barely hear everything.
Just curious, what are you watching/listening on? I’ve seen comments like this a couple of times regarding the guitars being too low. It sounds fairly well balanced on my setup, so just curious to know which devices or setups it sounds too low. Thanks for watching! :)
@@peteplaysmusic The clearity of the guitar is okay in the 2012 recording. But for viewers I guess it is okay. Like Dave Mustain from Metallica, when he formal of Metallca in 1982, he ajusted his sound really high, even James talked about it. They were getting ready for recording. And if you listen to the Kill Em All album it is still okay. Without Dave, things would have been different for their scooped next album. The speakers I have a cinematic ready and reproduced many times. Many recordings you hear on the Net is lower than CD quality treble. This morning is a good time to check sound because of the ears had resting time at sleep. Yesterday, I played in front of my amp, standing. I'm never sit when guitar time. This Sony recorder is so neet for fuzz, I cut the bass with a Parametric Equalizer. Here is what I was going to write.
Pete Cottrell Interesting. I don't know if you are cursed like many vloggers. But any speaker should be good to judge the shared volume of the final mix. Reminds me of Lars Ulric when he said, " Stop, stop the music, where is my drum sound." The final mix was just destroyed by the bass. Bass lags and muffles guitar sound. The complexity of Metallica's guitar in the album ...And Justice For All was really something, but recorded for Casette tech. Magnetic Tape. How to keep them sounds for a long time was to cut some of the DB of bass guitar. I have 7.1 Sound Blaster speakers. And if I hear this saturated bass and drums when the bass adjustment.
There is just a few clips that have clearity like Garage Days, almost Garage Dave (Channel) almost Dave Mustain. So the band Synlacross is clearer and the album Garage Days here: ua-cam.com/video/ZZ9cyFnkb38/v-deo.html
Петруха жги🤘👍
I miss the Kerry king poster
Haha, me too! It’s actually still there in that room too :)
How about a series where you use an unconventional piece of gear to play 20 bands heavy riffs.
"1 guitar, 20 bands"
"1 amp, 20 bands"
Like a strat or Tele or a big hollow body or a blues Jr or Princeton or vox.
The goal being to make a non metal piece of gear do metal.
Does that make sense?
Lamb of God vibes
I was referencing LOG a lot for this haha! Thanks for watching :)
0:20 Did you like your own video? :D
Haha, yeah apparently I did! :)
да блять!!! мне не хватило!! сильно перемешал. Ну где ты, настоящий??? я твой фанат с 2017!
𝐩𝓻Ỗ𝓂Ø𝓈Ｍ
You did not age a bit! Lol
Haha, I think I did. I’ll take this as a compliment though! Thanks for watching :)
First
Haha! Thanks for watching! :)
...you still kinda ... bad ... without ur hat :p
The hat has been in almost every video haha :)
10 years as a legend.
🤘🏼🤘🏼
Dude, you have come out your shell so much in your 10 year journey.
From not speaking in videos , to the occasional end section and now your full confidence talking to the camera.
It's been amazing seeing your personal journey.
Keep up the hard work bro! 🔥🤘🔥
Thank you so much dude :)
You certainly deserve more subscribers, you'll eventually get there considering the quality of your videos. Keep going.
Thank you so much! I'm gonna keep going, more videos coming up! :)
Oxygen, Apex 2.0 on the Siggi Braun Fafnyr guitar, Dominion on the 5 pounds guitar, Regenrate, the 6 string vs 8 string guitar song...
Gosh I listen to so many of your songs and you still continue to make really great riffs, tbh you're kinda my main go to channel to be inspired to write new riffs.
Heres to 10 more years of you being the most entertaining and skilled UA-cam guitarist imo 🙌🏻
Thanks so much! :)
So stoked for you, hermano!!! Love and miss you, homie!❤️
Thanks dude, I miss you too and love your face! :)
Hey Pete, I have discovered you with Leo's Hello video and have been following you since then. Not only are you a terrific guitar player but your videos are always pleasant to watch and you really seem like a nice human being, close to his community, often reading and answering comments. I love your 20 bands 1 riff series and I can tell you are a true metal lover ;)
I cannot wait to see what you are going to do in the near future!
Greetings from France!
Thank you so much! :)
Congratulations for the first 10 years. I specially like your 1 riff, 20 bands stuff. But also the making of tutorials „How to record“ and stuff like that. Always a pleasure, to watch you playing music, although I‘m a punkrocker.🙂 Cheers
I think that first vid sounds great. Course I'm blind, so you could be showing a field of apple trees and it would still be awesome. :d
Your 8 string why don't you use bass video is the best. I like it more than the OG track :)
From a sonic viewpoint, I think it's quite interesting that you have used the same drum sounds for several years. I guess once you find that gem kit, you stick with it. That's awesome.
Cheers to another ten years! 🍻
Wow time flies! Like many have said here, I've been a subscriber for a while now and have come to watch your channel grow over time, rarely miss a video!
You're one of the original UA-cam guitarists that inspired me to start my own channel :)
Keep rocking 🤘
Good Job, congratulationS!
Wish you 1mil subscribers soon, dude. I really love your music.
because you made this video....
its prolly over...
I know it's on Rob's channel but you playing Djenty Metal Town, USA ua-cam.com/video/OLRlOYiYudU/v-deo.html over on his channel is where I came across you and have been subbed ever since. So 9 years in Oct. Fuck. Been a hell of a ride.
I got a video idea: What if cannibal corpse kept playing in Eb like they used to back in the day
That would be interesting to hear 🤔
You are one of my faves! Stay metal and don’t change a bit!!!!
What a ride, man! All the best to you in the future, love your playing 🤘
When pete 1st vid is good but calls it bad bruh 🤌🏽
i'm still in love with moon shine ❤️
I dont know why i didnt see that video... Time is running so fast, 10 years... Man, thats a lot of time and i dont know when these years has gone. Anyway, thank You Pete for playing music and making these absolutely fantastic videos. I wish you next 100 years with great music, great guitars, great new ideas and us, your subscribers and listeners :)
Thanks so much! :)
I’ve been a long long time subscriber! Congratulations man and keep it up!
Thanks for watching! :)
Onwards and upwards pete, awesome as always 🤘🏼😈🤘🏼
Thanks! :)
Gratz, man. You didn't age a day. Live long rock hard🤘
Haha, I think I've aged a lot! But I'll take what you said as a compliment. Thanks for watching! :)
Really cool Lamb of God vibe ! Have 10 years more fun
Haha yeah, I was referencing LOG a lot for the original song. Thanks for watching! :)
It was the year the world ended. A lot of stuff happened then. Love that you're still here
Thanks for watching! :)
Here's to another 10 years. 🎸
Kudos on the journey. Been watching since I stumbled across 'Olympus Mons' while trying to figure out how you were, pretty much, the only one I heard get a decent tone out of Bias. 🤣
One of these days, it'd be a pleasure to do a mix of it. 🤙🏻
Thanks! Wow that’s a really old video haha! I do like that song so it would be cool to bring it back sometime :)
@@peteplaysmusic I still jam that track. It slays. 🤙🏻
Dude, I loved your early stuff like the JB/Jazz metal tone vid and the original songs. I'm still here too after all these years! Keep up kicking a$$ man! 😄
Wow that is an old one haha! Thanks for watching :)
@@peteplaysmusic Anytime man!
I’ve been following you for 6 of those years Pete and the reason I continue to do so isn’t necessarily anything to do with the improvement of your video quality, it’s your passion and understanding of your craft. Congratulations and here’s to many more years!
Congrats Pete! Been a follower since the early days. It’s amazing the progress you’ve made and the quality of vids you create. Here’s to many years more!
Thanks for watching! :)
