You missed an opportunity to shout out your band!!! I’m in the same boat kinda. I’ve “played” since 14 but lost my interest around 22. Now at 45 I found Tyler and am learning to fly again… shred, I mean shred 😝✌️
I just began my journey in the FOH mixing in the live sound world, and seeing one of my heroes making a video about live guitar tone is so awesome and inspiring. Thanks for everything that you've in your guitar journey Tyler, and congrats on getting this gig!
It's common in schools of music. I had a similar experience like 10 years ago, helped some kids of the academy as a teacher in their live performance, in an event at the middle of a god damn mall, we played Whiskey in the Jar and Sanitarium, (got to learn the solos as well xD) so.. there I was a 30 year-old dude playing with 16-12 yo teens.
I know some people involved with a School of Rock in Illinois as well as spent many years on the board of the Music Village in South Bend Indiana.... There is something really really special about helping young kids either engage with music in a way that might not have otherwise been available to them... or provide a pro-level conduit for them to participate in that might have otherwise been stifled by less satisfying garage-band level experiences. ☮💙🎶
I love your approach to all things life. Your brilliance your humor your musicality your generosity. You absolutely kill on all your vids and this my friend is the absolute pinnacle of an expression of genius. Thank you my friend. And yes Music is Win.
Rad, dude. Great job. It irks me every time people shit on Kirk. You just demonstrated that it's waay easier to talk trash online than it is to actually perform something like that LIVE.
The thing that irks me about Kirk is that he's fully capable of great solos like Creeping Death and Ride the Lightning, but resorts to fast pentatonic cliches and wah pedal time and time again. It just feels lazy 95% of the time.
Man I don’t know for how long I followed you, and was so happy to see that you have the GSS out. Immediately subscribed, no hesitation and am so happy with it. Learned more in the last two days then in the last 15 years. You are awesome! Thank you for being there 🤘🏽

I went over all the comments and didn't find anything about what I've noticed in the live show, so here it is: Congrats to the drummer! Loved his performance!
So awesome to see Creeping Death being played front and center by such young musicians when I did the same about 30 years ago with my band back then. Great job by everyone, but especially the young girl that sang. 🤘
You hit the nail in the head with the line "tune to the room". I used to get so frustrated getting to the gig and have to rework all the tones. That was with an empty room then have to change again once the room is full as the audience sucks all the bottom end
Been watching for awhile.. thanks for going through the pedals. I have a complete better understanding. I love the tone on that Heavy empress pedal. I'm gonna have to check that out..
@Stormofmetalmusic blackened was the one that came to my mind first too. creeping death isnt as easy as bell tolls or something but hardly their hardest
I'm practicing the creeping death solo right now as well, and even though I still can't play it as well as Tyler can it makes me feel better that even he needs to fudge some of those super fast sixteenth note lines a bit lol.
Bro.... How is it, that your live version is even nicer than your (already rather cool) "practice time" version....?? You stayed faithful, while adding some flair. I hope those kids appreciated what they had onstage with them, that night !!
This was fantastic, as someone who did school of rock this would’ve blown my mind to be able to do! And also if you think the recording is fast, try Mexico City ‘94 or that time when James was pissed at Lars and absolutely shredded the song way faster than it should ever be😂
I love what School of Rock does. The movie was so important to me when I started out, and it's important for kids to be able to experience what it's really like to play live because that's not something we can just give ourselves without a Lot of work
First song I played live after many many years was this one Open scene, virtually no sound check and just one amp with no pedals. A Mesa Boogie if I remember correctly; it sounded really good. I screwed up the solo big time. I didn’t hear myself and my bends went sharp on 2-3 occasions, just where it was crucial to get them right. But it was such fun and it gave me the courage to join a band again
All I can say is, DUDE YOU RIPPED THE SOLO. That empress pedal sounds really good I think I'll have to get one I know they're a bit pricey but that's okay They sound most excellent The mid-range sounds perfect! GOOD JOB 🤘🔥🤘
Super unrelated but I’m from pa, I lay the cello in my high school orchestra (along with the guitar) we’ll be playing there in a couple months, we’re taking a field trip and playing a couple places. Anyways no one probably cares but I thought I’d share.
One of my favorite to sing! One of my second cassette of metalickers (killem all) it had 3 songs creeping death, am i evil and call of ktulu! That was back in 1985! Taylor, you should make a trip this next may and go to the sonic temple music festival in Columbus Ohio! Metalickers are headlining 2 nights (Friday/Sunday) totally different sets! Korn is Thursday and Linkin Park is headliner Saturday! I went 2 days this last year, Original Misfits and Pantera! Im gonna be VIP! But you best hurry and book rooms they go fast!
Hey there, Berklee brethren Tyler. I have a very important request. Maybe every here & there, you make a mention about thumb position? Videos like this where a super experienced guitarist rips a solo and can do power chords with their thumb hanging crazy far over is straight up killing my students progress and leading to injury. Not kidding. I've been playing for 25 years, teaching for 15 years, and am a current student at Berklee pursuing a Master's degree to be able to teach at a university level. And I can 100% confirm for anyone reading this, that the #1 killer of progress for all 99% of beginner guitarists and probably 50% intermediate's who want to get better, is bad thumb position. It's just human anatomy. It's all good if you've been playing forever and can easily make this stretches, but you can stretch further and apply more pressure with less negative impact on your joints and tendons with a natural hand position. If you want to pinch something, you don't pinch it between your fingers and palm. You pinch your finger and thumb together, with an even axis of pressure. when you rest your hand naturally on your lap, your fingers probably are already spaced about perfectly for power chords. Yet when people put their hands on the neck, they jack their thumb way up then wonder why they can no longer make the stretch. It's so deeply engrained in some of my students that some of them literally think that you're supposed to use their palm on the back of the neck instead of their thumb, and I always have to show them how I can't physically stretch more than a few frets with a high thumb even using my other hand to force them apart, but when I bring my thumb down I can then stretch like 7 frets easily. It's just our anatomy, it's how the hand works. It's for really the biggest issue I face as a guitar teacher and it's almost impossible to fix sometimes because they've all spent years watching videos like this where someone they look up to is doing it and making it work. Some of them just straight up refuse, saying "this is they way I do it." Just because they think it looks cool. Which is crazy, telling your teacher you won't change even though you're literally paying to be told what you need to change to get better. That's how deep this weird mentality goes. And they end up quitting over it, saying their hands aren't the right size or that they have "dumb hands." When in reality we can ALL play, we just need to adapt our technique, and it's literally my job to help people do that. It's super sad to see someone quit over something so trivial. It isn't a hard requirement of mine if they can do chords with weird thumb position, they can go right ahead. But when they're sitting there asking how to make the stretch easier or alleviate because they can't do power chords, and all they need to do is drop their thumb down to nail it, but then they basically refuse to drop their thumb because they're favorite rockstars do it, it's pretty bewildering. They act like I'm lying to them, because they see it in videos like this. I've literally shown people anatomy diagrams over it, and they just say things like "well Music Is Win does it." So for the sake of our next generation, who continually give me hope for the future based on their interests, PLEASE make a mention on thumb position for beginners every once in awhile! Your probably my favorite channel and I recommend your videos to my students all the time like "this dude went to the same school I'm going to, he's really good, you can trust this channel." But lately I've had to give them a warning too about the thumb, it's causing problems for them lol. If you've somehow gotten this far, please know I love your channel and appreciate everything you do, thank you!
I just want you to know that you are the primary reason i got hooked on prs guitars. I was a fan before, but when you played on jared dines compilation video, i was completely enamored with that green prs of yours.
The weight in the empress heavy pedal I feel like was working with the saturation of the distortion. Hard to say. Just made it sound dope on different ways lol.
Disposable heros is my go to. I play that all the time on my axe. Can't go a session of practicing without playing that walkdown riff. Even add that to my aoustic sessions. Bad A$$$d song.
This man started my guitar path, and here i am now. Playing live shows in front of hundreds of people. Thank you
Amazing! How long have you been playing guitar for?
You missed an opportunity to shout out your band!!! I’m in the same boat kinda. I’ve “played” since 14 but lost my interest around 22. Now at 45 I found Tyler and am learning to fly again… shred, I mean shred 😝✌️
@timati12321 10 years, maybe a little less. I play melodeath. 🤘🏻
The most nerdy looking band on the planet . . . .
Hope you pass that same torch to me sometime brother
I was there when Steve Vai played, and was with someone else named Tyler 😂
Funny haha?
Did he get all hyped up like it was for him?
@ he’s not one to get overly hyped, but he definitely was surprised and slightly excited 😂
Eugene vs Steve round 2
yay cool stuf 🤘🤘
I just began my journey in the FOH mixing in the live sound world, and seeing one of my heroes making a video about live guitar tone is so awesome and inspiring. Thanks for everything that you've in your guitar journey Tyler, and congrats on getting this gig!
Did anyone tell the audience why one of the kids is a grown man? lol.

Now this the content I'm looking for. Love the videos when you play live
Sick! Brother! Thank you! You are such an inspiration for people like me who live and love electric guitar 🎸 🎵🎶🤘✌️
great job! That was so clean. I already knew you are an awesome guitar player, but to do that live at such a fast tempo was super impressive.
Definitely Agree 💯
WOW…the entire band sounded great and that singer was fantastic…well done👍
Everything except that last part… way off key. That being said, the song probably is not in her range. Regardless, twas a cool performance.
It’s a well developed talent to be able to scream musically. Kudos, little darling!
@@youWoNtLikeMe04 ….you get up there and do it!!!!
Rad, dude. Great job. It irks me every time people shit on Kirk. You just demonstrated that it's waay easier to talk trash online than it is to actually perform something like that LIVE.
Agreed 👍

@@jbon9319you say he's capable of those solos but they also use scales.
@aarongrimes6490 Of course they use scales
every video you put out i start to love the channel even more
Wow that girl can scream! Well done!
Man I don’t know for how long I followed you, and was so happy to see that you have the GSS out. Immediately subscribed, no hesitation and am so happy with it. Learned more in the last two days then in the last 15 years. You are awesome!
Thank you for being there 🤘🏽
Nailed it! Great job, awesome tone and appreciate the rig rundown!
3:24 Love the way you adjusted the high gain the bypass button enabled!
Love the live sound man. Great video!
Very nice of you to support the School of Rock event. Good job Tyler! I'm sure those kids look up to you, and for good reason.
Over the years I've listened to that solo maybe a thousand times. Certainly hundreds.
You nailed it.
Cheers.
easily in the hundreds 😀
In the practice....nearly, in the performance, no, a long way off. And yes, i've listened to it and played it hundreds of times myself.
No he didnt
it was close
he played it differently to the original, he threw in a lot of his own licks particularly in the 1st half of the solo. honestly though creeping death isn't as challenging as playing the blackened solo live
I went over all the comments and didn't find anything about what I've noticed in the live show, so here it is:
Congrats to the drummer! Loved his performance!
Even though i dont know you at all personally Tyler I definitely wanna say im very happy for ya and proud of what you have accomplished dude! ⚡️🎸🤘
This was one of the first "cool" metallica songs I learned when I was a teenager. Fkn banger dude. You NAILED IT!
Dude, you killed that solo man!!! And they sounded so bad ass too!!!
So awesome to see Creeping Death being played front and center by such young musicians when I did the same about 30 years ago with my band back then. Great job by everyone, but especially the young girl that sang. 🤘
I love the green color on your guitar, man!
How about a shout out to the young dude playing leads as well. Talent all around!
die die die die :) Nice to see young generations playing 80s songs :) Awesome !!!
You hit the nail in the head with the line "tune to the room". I used to get so frustrated getting to the gig and have to rework all the tones. That was with an empty room then have to change again once the room is full as the audience sucks all the bottom end
Dude. Great playing. You are the man.
Well done Tyler! There was even place for little wink at the singer during solo ;)
Wow, that double lead fill at the end was perfect!
thats awesome, great seeing the next generation rocking out some metallica, great video🤘
Looks like that video from a few years ago where you learned the solo by ear has come in handy.
Awesome! One of these days, I shall be on that stage.
I never comment on these things but that was Frickin Awesome!
Been watching for awhile.. thanks for going through the pedals. I have a complete better understanding. I love the tone on that Heavy empress pedal. I'm gonna have to check that out..
Excellent! It looks like you had a blast!
You should’ve played blackened
1st comment btw let’s goo I was here first!
@Stormofmetalmusic blackened was the one that came to my mind first too. creeping death isnt as easy as bell tolls or something but hardly their hardest
Hardest solo, he fixed it
❤
Making those poor kids play blackened would just be cruel
UA-cam is simply the Ed Sullivan of today. You’re killing it. Awesome you play live too
I'm practicing the creeping death solo right now as well, and even though I still can't play it as well as Tyler can it makes me feel better that even he needs to fudge some of those super fast sixteenth note lines a bit lol.
I’m sure Kirk does the same live all the time.
whew!!!! wow, damn dude you rip! Nice job 🔥
Bro.... How is it, that your live version is even nicer than your (already rather cool) "practice time" version....??
You stayed faithful, while adding some flair.
I hope those kids appreciated what they had onstage with them, that night !!
Well done to you and the kids, this was soo great to see 🤟
Amazing performance... and inspiring to know that I'm not the only one to struggle with Metallica's fast stuff.
Awesome work, well done!
You have the same drop pedal as me. Love that droptech. I use it so I don't need a dozen guitars with different tuning.
Absolute monster to play that in a live setting. Love ya Tyler...I mean...love your content..
Dang! The girl’s got pipes!
Tyler Larson is a G.O.A.T himself!!!
👇 If you agree also!!! 🎸🤘🍻
Dude! You killed it!!!
Best thing I've watched today , wicked!!!!
Great technique on that picking hand
Kickin butt Tyler good job
Epic! Love me some good old Metallica downpicking riffage!
This was fantastic, as someone who did school of rock this would’ve blown my mind to be able to do! And also if you think the recording is fast, try Mexico City ‘94 or that time when James was pissed at Lars and absolutely shredded the song way faster than it should ever be😂
Murdered that solo 🎉🎉🎉
Very clean solo for a live performance. I still have problems doing the MOP solo...not the notes...just that cursed beat. hahaha !!
Slayed it bro!
Damn. I didn't realize Tyler could play that well TBH. Nice!
I love what School of Rock does. The movie was so important to me when I started out, and it's important for kids to be able to experience what it's really like to play live because that's not something we can just give ourselves without a Lot of work
Very nice Tyler and band.
Fire!! Well done!
Hella awesome tomes! "Creeping Death" is a pretty challenging song to play, I find "Puppetz' to be an easier solo, but others' results will vary...
Very nice!!!!
You are the man!!!
And live straight to the ears, looks like you had a blast.
Wow, nice job. 🎉🎉
Nailed it! Nice!
Sounds killer! 💪

Woah, that chick has some pipes. I want to hear more from her.
@@youWoNtLikeMe04 Her cleans no bueno, but the dirty vocals are quite good. I would like to hear her a few years down the line.
Doing it for the kids. Well done bro!!
Awesome video man!!
very cool thing you did, damn that was smoke on the guitar.
Super unrelated but I’m from pa, I lay the cello in my high school orchestra (along with the guitar) we’ll be playing there in a couple months, we’re taking a field trip and playing a couple places. Anyways no one probably cares but I thought I’d share.
What kind of savage sweep picks on their bridge pickup. I DENOUNCE YOU, SIR!

I think when that young man grows up he's gonna be a big deal on the internet
"STRUGGLE WITHIN" is Kurt's most technical solo composition and execution. "UNFORGIVEN" is his BEST solo.
Kurts.....
Not even close, Kurt...
Hearing creepy death live as an opener was literally the best opener song ever
Killed it! 👏👏
I just want you to know that you are the primary reason i got hooked on prs guitars. I was a fan before, but when you played on jared dines compilation video, i was completely enamored with that green prs of yours.

Who's lady Gaga!!!

nailed it!
