This is such a fun song to play. I really love shit like this its so good. I cant even imagine how necrophaigist comes up with these riffs. The guitarist is an actual genuis.
@@thegamehud8214he didnt write epitaph ony his own tho... christian wrote the solo of stabwound for example. But ur right, he wrote onset of putrefication all alone
Watching these tutorials gave me the same feelings as watching some crazy dark souls bosses being defeated. Probably i'll never achieve this, however, they look amazing to watch
Hearing this song in slow with an E just makes me realize how difficult this song really is, compared to us normies. You though do a great job of helping us out. Thank you!
Hey Guitarchampions, here are the time stamps for every section: Intro Riff: 3:00 1st Intro Solo: 15:00 2nd Intro Solo: 20:15 Cheers and stay #progress And don't miss part 2 and 3. Part 2: ua-cam.com/video/dzftxf_0Lws/v-deo.html Part 3:ua-cam.com/video/3Y6k7zp92nU/v-deo.html
Excellent video. I always struggled so much trying to alternate pick that entire run at 18:00 and the pull off method you suggested made it so much easier!
@@grigoriraspoutine9298 I would probably do it more for the exercise than anything I prefer to write my own music. With that said I'm capable of playing anything they play but I'm sure I would be gassed out halfway through the song as far as my picking
@@grigoriraspoutine9298 can play that fast but after three or four minutes at full speed I think I've had about enough 😂 imagine playing a whole set with them
the official tab book it's look way harder especially the Muhammed parts and i dig it to play it to the regular tempo, always when i slow down the mistakes gets worse, badass lesson.
Thank you a lot :) But still it was extremely hard to play it accurate, tho it‘s now confirmed that the complete record was extremely played Note for note and not really „live“ I tried to get a lot of the informations how they played it on live versions. (Nowadays I just ask Christian how it went 😂)
@@justin.hombach I actually got the tab book they released awhile back. the way you teach this is makes it actually playable than the book suggests, like blending legato instead of strict alternate picking and leading the main riff with the upstroke helped tons. Are you gonna do more of these?
I admire your ambition to tackle such a complex and technically demanding song! You haven't checked Muhammed Suicmez official tab book for the Epitaph album, I guess? There are quite a few bits that differ from what you are showing - including that arpeggio part where you do a position shift to start the arpeggio on the pinky where Muhammed is actually staying with the index finger on the 7th fret and hammering on to fret 10, continuing the arpeggio in that position - and the ascending triplet run is not picked all the way, it's legato (double hammer-on) on the A-string as well as the high E-string. Also, Muhammed doesn't use 7/4, he always splits it up into 3/4 and 4/4 (which makes more sense if you look at the structure of the riffs as well as listen to the accents in the drums).
I transcribed indeed alot by ear. To be honest, didn't know there is a official tabbed book by muhammed out there :D that would help alot. 😂 Thanks for telling me...
But for the 7/4 part, I mean... in the end it's the same imo and I think it's easier to count and to feel this way for somebody who is learning this song. And this is my goal on this lessons... I don't want to teach muhammed how it goes but people who can't play this song yet 😂 🤷🏻♂️ Hey but thanks alot for your comment 😊 This is the kind of critique that really helps me to grow
@@sip__ The official tab book has been out of print for many years and you can't buy it new anymore. It sometimes shows up on eBay, but it's rare. It is however possible to find a PDF version through a google search, but I don't suggest doing that since it's illegal to share/spread copyrighted material like that (even though it's out of print).
you made my life so much easier, thanks alot, sad to see how few likes are on this video. also, this is so damn difficult, i really need a couple hours at least on every little part..
Yep, guess I’ll have to cope with the fact that some songs are waaaaaaaaaaaaay above even my comprehension. Those guys are absolute wizards to come up with such a composition.
6:56 Thats not a weird part at all. It's actually an arpeggio of the VI chord, which in the key of E minor would be C or in D minor Bb, followed by the V chord. This is maybe THE most common sound used in metal. And like I mentioned before, it's a sextuplet; 0-5-9-5-9-tap 12 pull off to 11 which lands on the first beat of the next measure.
Amazing video!! I love your in-depth theory knowledge. Question, in the 2nd solo you did at the end of the video, did you happen to figure out the 2nd guitar part under that? There's some seriously awesome contrary motion and such and I think it really makes the solo shine. I cannot for the life of me figure it out though, its tough for me to really make out in the mix. Any covers I've seen of the 2nd guitar part are inaccurate. They just play power chords
First things first, thanks for that awesome tutorial! Actually i am just starting this song. It is hard. But, since I played a lot of early in flames stuff and some Children of bodom, the alternate picking parts, even with string skipping, are not THAT difficult for me anymore. Yes, difficult, but I can start with a downstroke without any problems in original speed. Those sweepings are another thing....
That isn’t a warrior clone. It’s an Ibanez xiphos and I’m sure they’re discontinued. Best bet is a overpriced 2000$ one on reverb if you want it spotless or new, or 7-1300$ on reverb if you don’t mind a lot of knicks in the finish.
Awesome! This is such a help when trying to transcribe this song, though a few innacuracies here and there., Maybe a few tips: playing with a metronome shows the rhythmic patterns more clearly. For instance the tapping lick at the start uses triplets (third string) 0-5-9-5-9-12, but when you play it slow it doesn't sound clear. This music is so super tight there's no room for sloppyness. Same with the first sweep (2:56), those are also triplets, but you play it sloppy and in the wrong position. The sweep is actually played without tapping like this: 5th string 7-10 4th 9 3th 9 2nd 8 1st 7 slide to 1st 8 hammer on to 12 etc. This makes it much easier to play especially at high tempos. Live footage confirms this, check it out.
Hey mate, the reason why this is "sloppy" is, when I demonstrate something slow I often play it rubato just for demonstration purpose. besides that I think that Time is alot easier to learn when It's in original tempo, nothing against playing it slow, but especially here I realised by many of my students whom I teached that song, that they get the timing better when trying to play it fast and especially listening to it fast. :) same goes for the sweep, yeah sami is playing it in the inversion you're saying it here. But I think it's easier for many people to play it with the different inversion. The notes stays the same and I think Christian would play it this way. I don't think there are live recordings of stabwound with christian, isn't? :) But thanks for the tipps mate. Always helpfull
@@justin.hombach I'm sorry my friend, but that doesn't make much sense. A song this technical and precise and you play rubato? Why not play the whole thing rubato then, while you're at it. Besides, when you play fast it's the same sloppyness, but cause of the speed maybe get's unnoticed. This means you TAUGHT your students wrong. Even the tab on songsterr is more accurate then yours. You're missing quite some stuff, like at 3:06 you end the lick wrong. You missed the octaves around 2:42 and so on. Thats not justified by calling it rubato. It's simply innacurate. If you cannot explain or let alone play it correctly at a slow tempo it means you don't really understand what's going on.
i know i am three years late but what is exactly the second guitar ? for those wondering, the first is an old ibanez xiphos, can't remember exactly the model :( they are discontinued and replaced with a new serie of xiphos.
ich hab jetzt mein leben lang malmsteen und zeug geübt und dann kommt das vertrackte zeug und zteigt mir meine grenzen. von der technik wäre das noch zu bewältigen, aber das ist so dermassen vertrackt dass es schlimmer nicht geht
Outside picking is cheating. Pretty much all of Necrophagists guitarists over the years have played it with pure alternate picking. Sure, it's hard but it actually sounds better. Look up Kevin Heiderich, he plays it correctly.
I know and I know Kevin 😂 This is some years ago, look up one of my recent videos about „5riffs to improve your picking“ and you‘ll realize: Things have changed in my playing
I like how the sweep picking licks are the easiest parts. Great lesson!
Hahaha that's spirit of Christian Muenzner and Mohammed :D
So true
This is such a fun song to play. I really love shit like this its so good. I cant even imagine how necrophaigist comes up with these riffs. The guitarist is an actual genuis.
And to think that Muhammed came up with all the instruments tabs himself is absolutely incredible. He single handedly created the entire album
@@thegamehud8214he didnt write epitaph ony his own tho... christian wrote the solo of stabwound for example. But ur right, he wrote onset of putrefication all alone
@@oiron6213 he still wrote a huge majority of epitaph, only one song has anyone else credited as a writer and it's not stabwound.
Adjusting your glasses between chords at 00:35 was totally badass :D
Watching these tutorials gave me the same feelings as watching some crazy dark souls bosses being defeated. Probably i'll never achieve this, however, they look amazing to watch

This was the most bad ass intro to a lesson ever. The song, the shirt, the quality of explanation was all fantastic. Thank you for the lesson.
Attempting to learn this again after giving up a few years ago. Thx for the lesson

brooo thank youuu for help... proud of you......
Great breakdown, not a lot of online guitar teachers tackle bands like this
Thanks Man
Been looking for a lesson of this song for years now
No problem mate :) Glad I could help
the holy grail of 'songs I really want to be able to play but cant', great job man!
Thank you so much man. The lesson is very clear and it's very nice of you to include tabs
Awesome man :-) thanks for the comment
Thanks dude, I used this to help film my cover!
Keep doing lessons man, you're great.
just amazing Justin , cheers for taking the time to break this down

That's a great lesson Sir.
Some tabs I've found do some stuff at the 10th fret @9:15, but your version sounds better.
ohh god what's the amazing lesson bro thank you for this walkthrough i love this song
No problemo bro 🍻🍻
its happen only were work hard but i wish if my dreams came true god bless you bro
Wish you the best for your channel.!
Thank you for this! I'm loving learning this song.
maaaaaaaan!!! Thanks for this video! I think that intro riff caused such an impression in my generation
Thanks so much for doing this in e standard!
you made my life so much easier, thanks alot, sad to see how few likes are on this video.
also, this is so damn difficult, i really need a couple hours at least on every little part..
the good thing is you'll be able to play a lot better after nailing this
Bless u for making these videos

With weird I mean more the fingershape, not the actuall arpeggio.
@@justin.hombach It's actually THE most used fingershape for tapping (classic tapping solo's) like eruption - one - Altitudes they all use that shape
@@abstract200 maybe it's not weird to an experienced tapper like yourself. For me it felt weird the first 20 times. xD

what brand makes this warrior clone in the beginning. awesome headstock, and fret inlays/colors
That isn’t a warrior clone. It’s an Ibanez xiphos and I’m sure they’re discontinued. Best bet is a overpriced 2000$ one on reverb if you want it spotless or new, or 7-1300$ on reverb if you don’t mind a lot of knicks in the finish.

Quarantine is not ending anytime soon so I was like, I should a really learn a hard song.
have u learnt it yet
How did you do?

ich hab jetzt mein leben lang malmsteen und zeug geübt und dann kommt das vertrackte zeug und zteigt mir meine grenzen. von der technik
wäre das noch zu bewältigen, aber das ist so dermassen vertrackt dass es schlimmer nicht geht
ahaha, i remember the guy Achocarlos, who i belive did the very first Stabwound cover on youtube, 0:16-0:19 (because of this)
You are wonderful thank youbso much!!
Ignomous and pale please
Is it possible for a non-German to play this?
Just cruous, How long did it take you to first learn this song?
What tuning do you use in this lesson ?
Standart ?
I believe solos are in E standard, everything else D standard
This tutorial is all E standard
tab please
Tabs are in the description box :)
My fingers are hurt although im playing in lower speed
omg this guy is a CHAD
I know better than to even attempt this. I'll stick to Coheed or some of Opeth's easier stuff. Those stretch my limited abilities enough.
Really wish you'd do the lesson in the tuning so I can play along and then switch to the song and play it. I don't have a guitar tuned to standard
Все равно не получается ( Вы бог?
Whatta hell!!!!! Aaaaaaaa!!!!
Hahahaha 😅😅
Thank you!!!! I Will try) amazing lesson!
man why did you teach it in the wrong tuning its impossible to play along with
Evil is inside ourself...not in the tuning ;) \m/
7:57 🥵
tune to D standard next time pal 🤣
