I don't understand why you would even dislike this? Seriously, what's there to dislike? This is a well structured guitar lesson, making it easy for beginners like me to learn.
Those who can't learn to play this song by watching this tutorial dislike due frustration. It's easier to project hatred into others than to internalize it and use it to improve yourself.
if you use the Filosofem tuning (As Dev Gohil calls it, it's the tuning that Varg used when he recorded the songs on Filosofem and it's E Standard but tuned at 450 Hz and not 440 Hz like how normal people play this song on) and if you hit the power chords from the 5th fret like he did on 1:26 and play it an acoustic or an electric without it being plugged in, it turns this into dsbm
Subscribed on the strength of this video alone, thank you for the effort Simon - you've got a great way of teaching by being plain. Now to explore the rest of your videos. Cheers pal.
I talked with him erlier, when i pointed out that Simon often does diffenrent than album version, like live for instance. Nothing wrong with this ofc. He ofc had a problem with me pointing that out. I think this guy has a typical fanboy mentality, just ignore him. He was not as hostile though back then. PS: I noticed that Varg in his videos not always played the version from the album also. I man i think in one of the songs he played 2011 version instead. So simon might not be wrong about that perticuliar part.
it doesn't matter how it's played you there are many different ways you can play a riff and it still sounds the same I think it just depends on the player
Well, it matters how it's played if it DOES NOT sounds the same. If it sounds the same, than yes, it's up to you. But if it dont... and we are talking here a case, in which it doesn't sounds the same.
Hello, Simon, bit of a Burzum fan here. I actually grew up not too far away from the maker of this himself. In your intro, I suppose what you're playing is what's also on the album version, but with a rythm guitar on top of it. Playing this solo, I'd suggest just merging the two upper strings into power chords. I'm totally sold on your intepretation of the main riff, I love it! Pretty sure Varg just plays the two power chords on one guitar, with a second one playing 0-2-2-0, (open first string, 2 second etc) after first power chord and 2-5-4-0 after the second one. I've got a request! Windir - Arntor Some classic norwegian folk metal from our beloved Valfar who sadly died way too young. Not particularly difficult, but I'm pretty sure you'd be the only interpreter on youtube giving it a proper sound :) Cheers
Omg, I don't really like metal that much but your channel has tutorials to every damn song my boyfriend likes, so I'm gonna make him happy with some burzum, Watain and dissection covers. Thx
@Simon Smith, Varg plays with some barre chords and strums all strings from the 6th to the 1st string. In his video, in the comments area, he says that the way he plays in the video is the same he used to record it. Do you think you can reverse engineer his method? Thanks!
Nicely done but have you seen Varg's own tutorial? It's under his channel Thulean perspective, has incorporates this kind of raking into it. Will you see how that fits into your interpretation of the song and do a new video?
+Simon Smith ...one more thing. I have learned harder version of this song, where in chorus you "barré chord" each riff through every strings istead of only powerchords with G string. It sounds better ;) I sugest to try to play this way. Perhaps I will upload tutorial about it someday... Now I will do interpretation on acoustic guitar :) greetings!
Awesome lesson, first time I've learnt a song so quickly, mind you I've only been playing for maybe around 8 months, anyways, how many times is each part of the song actually played?, I want to make sure I'm getting it right on point.
If I’m gonna be honest i like both versions of the main riff. This version is slightly more unnerving. And from my experience it sounds great in half step down.
Barre 3. and play E minor shape and barre 2. and play e minor shape. Alternate it. The main riff all uses this shape. Watch the varg video again with this in mind and you should get it. He does nothing special. Easy and amazing riff
I prefer to sweep descending barre minor chords instead of power chords + open strings individual, sounds darker and colder lol And this is how Varg played it
Hey Simon, could you do a tutorial for "The Gullaldr Rehearsal" by Varg Vikernes? it's one of the easiest Burzum songs but there's not many tutorials/covers of it. Cheers
@simon smith What do you use for that tune/sound? I have a computer set up and I have multiple choices for amps but I can’t find anything that’s close to it. Can you please help me?

@@dksdmusic could also just be hate against varg. but fck the person behind this song. it still kicks ass
cuz thats not how you play it
@@isthisrealv2664 Are you watching everybody play? I better close my drapes, next time...
The fact that varg wrote this in standard is actually kind of amazing, given how eerie it sounds, I love it
bruh most of classic black metal is in standard tuning 😂
not really.. @@artielukas888
Very informative. Much easier and better than the tabs I've googled.
Thanks
Its easier because its not entirely correct (still a good video)
ua-cam.com/video/ESrvuyirTXI/v-deo.html You can see he plays full chords here
Best Dunkelheit lesson ever. I literally learned the song in 6 min thanks man.
that opening melody, so simple yet so dark and beautiful. varg is a unique soul. thank you simon.
Great lesson!
I've decided that this would be the first complete song I would learn, your video has helped a lot!
Love your channel.
I wanna lern it to but i cant see how he is playing the main riff? Maybe im to dumb but can u send me tab maybe
So, have you improved?
if you use the Filosofem tuning (As Dev Gohil calls it, it's the tuning that Varg used when he recorded the songs on Filosofem and it's E Standard but tuned at 450 Hz and not 440 Hz like how normal people play this song on) and if you hit the power chords from the 5th fret like he did on 1:26 and play it an acoustic or an electric without it being plugged in, it turns this into dsbm
All his work before prison was tuned to 450hz
Before Varg was sent to prison, his guitar was tuned higher than standard tuning... His guitar was tuned in F, not E.
even 7 years later this is still so useful, thank you so much
this is not how burzum play this track
Slightly different. The sound is basically the same.@@nihilism7444
Your teaching talent is great!
Muhammadreza Haghiri Thank you my friend! :0)
I can't wait to come back home and try this. The best tutorial I've seen!
6 euronymous fans didn't like this.
Hahaha good one :)
+Jekabs Villers I like Euronymous , but I also like Varg

Actually, Varg played the part around 2:33 a bit differently in one of his vids^^
fuck off smartass

@Ulf Paulsson more like 'oe'
@Филипп Циолковский what
That noise at 2:59 really spooked me, it’s 2 am and I thought my dog was crying
Me too man. Paused the video and listened with intent before rewinding and hearing it again haha

You grew up near Varg?! Cool! You ever meet him?
God, this is so beautiful it makes me cry 😭
That's the power of Burzum.
Thanks for the tutorial, all the tabs I could find were very strange :P
+Slayze :0)
They normally are. That's why I prefer to use my own ears as online tabs are often so far out (so is my ear to be fair)....
I can't quite play it to speed all together but i'm getting there. Thanks dude!
im not even playing guitar but i like your playing :D
Konstantin S Thank you my friend!
Great tutorial, i've just bought a guitar and already learn something
If you Barre the main chords it sounds really good. That's the way varg plays it in his videos.
Omg, I don't really like metal that much but your channel has tutorials to every damn song my boyfriend likes, so I'm gonna make him happy with some burzum, Watain and dissection covers. Thx
You boyfriend have good taste of music TRVE KVLT \m/
Your boyfriend has good taste in women TRVE KVLT \m/
Finally learned the song that made me bought a guitar ❤️
One of my favorite song I covered.
WOW BRO THANKS MORE BURZUM PLS U ARE THE BEST
Mert Timurlenk On my list! :0)
oh my mistake, I'm looking for a dunking biscuits tutorial.
carry on..
That's my next video!!
Thanks, Simon. Hypnotic tune.
1:14 Aesthetic :3 💜
@Simon Smith, Varg plays with some barre chords and strums all strings from the 6th to the 1st string. In his video, in the comments area, he says that the way he plays in the video is the same he used to record it. Do you think you can reverse engineer his method? Thanks!
It's a Fm he just strumms the chord twice 2 times and then sweeps back up (down down (fret change) down down up)
@@chefkochmurat2550 I stand corrected. You are right. Still.. not the same as Simon's.
I dont even have an electric guitar but i like your burzum videos, they have good vibes
Thank you so much for your amazing lessons.
It is easier than i expected
Great lesson mate, I like to tune down a step and play it on acoustic, sounds kvlt af!
Nicely done but have you seen Varg's own tutorial? It's under his channel Thulean perspective, has incorporates this kind of raking into it. Will you see how that fits into your interpretation of the song and do a new video?
86 black metal tutorials how is it just now im finding your channel cheers from the USA(sadly)
sadly?xD
Sad because we don't have "biscuits" :(
thanks for de vid brow, nice explaining! Hope you continue making more !
YuriZangao I certainly will Yuri!! Thanks for the comment mate.
thanks man... opening riff is very snowblind
good tutorial, thank you. very well explanatory. varg is a black metal genius, amazing
Simon you say it wrong. You've to say like do or doom. So how speak the letter "u"dunkelheit
The Euronymous fans disliked the video? Let's find out! 👉
I liked both Euronymous and Varg.
@@ABAddonfromHeLL De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas is the only record of Euronymous? Or is their any other?
@@Ratselmeister deathcrush
@@ABAddonfromHeLL thanks
cringe
it seems impossible to play this song but I'll be here again
Great lesson. Thank you.
Thank you very much, from Brazil
hail biscuits
You know that!!
good vid but the main riffs are a reverse open chord sweeping motion not picked.
Возможно уже поздно, но спасибо тебе большое! Очень компактно и понятно, еще раз спасибо!
really cool tutorial, but as I saw Varg plays the main riff with bar chords and with a different right-hand pattern. but anyways, you sound badass
Thank you for uploading this, now I got the missing parts to my guitar cover :) You are verry helpfull when I need to know "how to play" :D greetings!
Greetings my friend

Пояснив дуже круто поняв навіть без субтитрів.
Count G. is just a friggin' master of creepy melodies. And I am sure he likes biscuits, too, haha :-D
Everyone likes biscuits!!

Burnt Thanks mate. I can't remember off the top of my head. You'll have to listen through I reckon... cheers for commenting!
2:40 varg played the top 3 open strings & with his fingers
If I’m gonna be honest i like both versions of the main riff. This version is slightly more unnerving. And from my experience it sounds great in half step down.
So I tried and it worked fine, but I changed this 2:32 to more vargish style. I played it on all strings like varg did on his 'Burzum live'
Well Played!
iconic intro
Wish I could find someone like you but on bass
this is really a great lesson. only it really was time for me to dunk my biscuits.
It's ALWAYS time to dunk your biscuits!!
Varg could write a TUNE, goddam
I love your channel. I have learned so much!
thanks mate
I LOVE BURZUM
If you play any black metal this is one og those songs you need to know. What a classic.
You are the man, keep up the great videos.
Cheers Bob :0)
Me relaja esta canción.
i wqant that guitar tone! i never get that dizzy sound to ring out
Amazing video, thx
Much easier than the tabs i've googled
Aaaaa. At last. My favourite lullaby.
+Hades Eye 🤘
Hey now that varg played it “live” can you update this lesson cuz some of it parts is not right and i cant get the swipe part of the song right
Barre 3. and play E minor shape and barre 2. and play e minor shape. Alternate it. The main riff all uses this shape. Watch the varg video again with this in mind and you should get it. He does nothing special. Easy and amazing riff
Классный разбор - все просто и понятно! Короче, опять эти квинты))
that tone is so cool, howd you get it to sound like that?
+TheTrollsNextDoor I used a Line 6 AM4 amp modeller on the Mesa Boogie setting
wow ok, thank you!
+Simon Smith Can you tell me where you purchased this item or where to find it??
TheTrollsNextDoor or
Lot of gain and litlle treble
High lows and high highs lots of gain and overdrive max
Haha nice ending. That just made me laugh outloud.
This song is unique🤘🏻
I prefer to sweep descending barre minor chords instead of power chords + open strings individual, sounds darker and colder lol
And this is how Varg played it
Can you explain this to me like I’m 5
Awesome tutorial! Thanks!
My pleasure.
Jon Nödtveidt
Очень круто!
Does anyone know what guitar Vikerness used to record Filosofem?
I don't think that even Varg knows...
vai tocar assim lá ... hehe com todo respeito toca muito
Gracias Maestro Smith 🤟🇲🇽
Does this work for acoustic too?
Melodic part?
I wish you make depressive visions of cursed warrior
Man can you do Emperor's The Burning Shadows of Silence? Love you
