Many thanks! Yes it has taken me time, I'd say the most important work was even before trying to play these solos: all the techniques and tones I've worked on before have helped me a lot to then be able to play this.
I'm really glad you like it. Trey is also one, if not the only one, of the most important of my inspirations, and to me he has been the most creative guitarist in the death-metal scene since the early days.
@@SN-cb9xj Patrik perfectly nails that very tricky D-string bend with his pinky twice! I am inclined to think most guitarists are rewriting that part of their solo when they realise it requires such demanding execution - not Trey and not Patrik!
I'm a huge Morbid Angel fan and guitarist. Treys leads are otherworldly. You should feel extremely accomplished that you cab replicate his solos so well.
Just subbed to your channel. Incredible covers that are spot on from the sound and playing combined. I seen other "attempts" and there may be one or two that are decent to solid but none like this! These covers a largely accurate and near perfect. From the tones and effects down to the playing! My son plays guitar and I just showed him this video and he is speechless! Morbid Angel is one of our top favorite bands and Trey is a top 5 guitarists for us. Brilliant covers!!! 🙌🤘😈🤘
Holy s*, I never saw anyone that got SO close to Trey's legendary solo style. I'm the guitarist of Typhonian (over at Transcending Obscurity) and I always had a lot of Morbid Angel influences, but I never was able to capture the essence like that. Absolute kudos man, I'm beyond impressed. By the way: Would you be interested in contributing a guest solo one day? Would LOVE to hear your style on a future Typhonian record, we're all huge Morbid Angel fans haha
Many thanks for having taken the time to watch and comment my video. I'm really glad that you think I've captured Trey's solo style. I will check out your band very soon, thanks for sharing. And I'll be glad to contribute guest solo on your music one day, thanks for the proposal.
@@patrikbnvn2847 Yeah I also checked your bands yesterday and consider me a fan! Thanks a lot!! I will contact you with more info, currently working on a small EP and then album 3.
You're a fucking legend for learning these. I hope to get time off this year and figure out the dawn of the angry solos. I sometimes fall asleep to this video on a repeat lol Lava is love lava is life.
Awesome, many thanks!! Oh yes, Dawn of the Angry solos are really nice too, especially the one where Trey plays on the fretboard with left hand and with the right hand he just put a finger on the string to create harmonics!
@@townsand72 0:30 For the solo of Cleansed in Pestilence I've used Trey's Wind Rift mic_ing technique consisting of using a fan between the amp and the mic that he used for many solos on Formulas, Gateways, Heretic and Kingdoms.
Illud isn't a perfect album by any means and the industrial songs don't get any play from me, but the death metal songs were great and Trey had possibly his best tone out of any album save for maybe formulas and gateways in my opinion.
@@slimmmshaney5695 for a morbid angel album it certainly isn’t like P stated it should’ve gone under a different name. That being said it’s good for what it is but obviously very disappointing for fans that like the other style.
@@Keepitsavage21 I totally respect this opinion. I didn't feel the kind of treachery that many people felt for it to not be released under another name when it came out, but I can understand this idea, because I actually also was disappointed at first: not because of the general tone that I like a lot, not because of the so-called experimental tracks (I like most of them), but precisely because it wasn't experimental enough. I mean, everything sounds great to me, but actually average compared to what they've experimented before.
You can tell this is an old video cuz the edges of the underneath video are showing around the overlaid one. That means it was probably edited on a CRT where the image looked fine because the edges of the video were either covered by the moulding around the screen.
Many thanks, some of the guitars used in this video have been sold, but not the Stealth Marc Rizzo that is still my main guitar for all I do. A trusty guitar for sure
@@patrikbnvn2847 I always wanted this bc rich, but at first I didn't have money, and then they disappeared from sale, in the end I bought a rusty cooley signature dean rc7x , it has almost the same specifications but a different appearance
@@Imposibilitron Sad they don't do it anymore. Had some neck dive issues at first but I fixed it by moving the strap buttons. Other than that, very comfortable guitar!
Hey pat, I'd use your videos way back years ago to learn some of treys insane solos, do you think you could re upload the cover of Cleansed in Pestilence? Sick as always insane Watching you replicate trey
Hey, thanks for your words. About Cleansed in Pestilence, I haven't planned to re-uplaod all my old covers, but I'll wee what I can do for you to have the full cover video again !
Many thanks!! Trey's music doesn't fit the box and should be thought in terms of energy and feeling rather than scales and technique. That's why tabs can't do justice to his music. But I'd recommend watching this vid where I explain a few things that I've used to do these solos ua-cam.com/video/a-I4jarXdgg/v-deo.html
Fantastic playing, some real hard work has gond into them solo's, I'm curious to know what scale shapes and modes Trey works from for his leads? I was really lucky to catch them on the gates ways tour @ the LA 2 in london. Got my ticket stub signed as well. Come to think of it i saw em on illud tour as well. Both shows were great.
Many thanks! It's rather hard to describe Trey's work in terms of scales and modes, because his playing is very intuitive and spontaneous, without really thinking about what is actually played, but instead by feeling the energy or the vibes of the music. Something that he must have used is visualisation, where one visualises, internally, what sound one wants the amps to produce. It's also a reason why it's hard to get accurate tabs of his solos, something that I wouldn't want to do for many reasons, but I've focused on reproducing the energy more than the notes to cover these solos. As for MA playing live, no bands has ever beaten their intensity. I've seen them on many many tours, last time in 2014 because they've unfortunately been unable to come back to Europe since then, but always a special and I'd even say a mystical experience.
No. Actually each song that have the solos featured on this video have been done as whole covers before I did this compilation video of just the solos. Angel of Disease has so many solos that I wouldn't isolate them from the entire cover. And Invocation has great solos, but wasn't a song I wanted to cover in its entirety.
Have you ever tried playing that second (final) solo of Brainstorm from Blessed are the Sick? I can't tell what the bloody Hell Trey is doing to produce that epic screech when he bends at 2:25 and I can't find a decent resolution video of him playing it. I would love to see you play that solo.
I have an idea of how to do it, that solo is a mix of whammy bar, harmonics and pick scratching on strings. Brainstorm is such an amazing song, I had planned to cover it with solos, but still haven't found the time to make it.
@@patrikbnvn2847 I have all notifications turned on and will be staying tuned (pun intended) for your future videos. I still can't believe this one - 10 minutes of Trey solos! WTF?!
Many thanks! For most of these solos, the signal chain was guitar --> Phase 90 --> Proco Rat --> EQ then I've split the signal into 2 to use 2 amps, a Marshall JCM900 and a Marshall Mosfet, with a stereo delay in the loop of the amps. I did this video with a slightly different signal chain but very close to it ua-cam.com/video/a-I4jarXdgg/v-deo.html
My favorite album for his solos is Formulas. I think that this is the time when he was the most creative and each solo on this album is unique. He also has experimented many new things such as the Wind Rift mic-ing technique with the fan in front of one amp...amazing guitarist!!! As for my favorite album when it comes to composition, it is Blessed are the Sick.
@@patrikbnvn2847BRST is an interesting album I should listen to it more. I'm partial to covenant myself because it was one of my first few DM albums I ever heard. Btw, what do think of their last album? I literally can't listen to it, it's that bad. I don't understand what's going on but I gave up on them since Heretic. Am I missing something?
@@HairyPixels I like Covenant a lot, certainly in my top 3 MA albums. But I was a bit disappointed when it came out, because it was very straightforward compared to BATS which is more subtle and diversified. When I first listened to BATS in 1991, I was instantly blown away by how dark and complex it was. It was next level compared to any other death metal records at that time. To me the natural evolution from BATS would have been Domination instead of Covenant. But still one of my favorites now. As for the last couple albums, I like Heretic a lot, production is weird compared to other albums from the same era, but I like it and it sounds clearer than any other death-metal records at that time. I also like the highly controversial Illud Divinum Insanus. I was expecting something different when it came out, I was thus disappointed at first listens, but I like the production on it, maybe Trey’s best guitar tone to me. The classic death metal songs have strong Domination vibes, songs such as Beauty Meets Beast have so much groove and swing, it’s like a waltz, I can literally imagine Belle dancing with the Beast while listening to this song. And I also like the more experimental tracks, especially Destructos vs the Earth that I find amazingly catchy. By the way, there’s actually a song on the more acclaimed album Kingdoms Disdained that has strong Destructos vibes called Declaring New Law! I like this song too. And then for Kingdoms Disdained, it’s an interesting album, Trey has once again had new ideas, weird but interesting ideas such as putting his fingers underneath the strings to sound ugly and a bit out of tune on purpose, but the production does not do justice to these ideas. It’s the kind of prod that makes you think « wow, it sounds brutal and straight in the face » at first listen, but after a few spins it sounds unnatural, too compressed and it lacks of dynamic. Very modern production, but I think that it doesn’t fit MA’s complex music. If I recall, Trey did his own master of the album and also wanted to release the demo tracks under the name Complete Acid Terror, maybe these are signs that he might have also been dissatisfied with the final result...
@@patrikbnvn2847 very good analysis. Yes Covenant was downright commercial and was even featured on MTV in the US. Still has undeniably well written songs. Hmm I'll try listening to Kingdoms again but it sounds like mush to me now. I think he may have been trying too hard to experiment instead of composing.
@@HairyPixels Yes I think you're absolutely right. BATS was also more experimental compared to AOM, but they were experimenting in the songwriting, where Kingdoms is more experimenting in the playing technique.
Many thanks!! For this solo, the main effect is a reversed delay. I've recorded with 2 amps in stereo, and on one amp there's a reversed delay. Also this part has very little gain.
@@SailorBelmont Yes I tend to prefer EMG pick-ups for almost everything. But it also depends on what kind of stuff I want to do. Typically, for that tapping solo on Prayer of Hatred, I would prefer passive pick-ups, especially with that Ironbird on which I can use coil split.
@@patrikbnvn2847 It’s a pleasure talking with you! Trey has been one of my favorite musicians for a long time, I hope he continues to release albums. Here is my first UA-cam channel I also play on morbid angel but I am a drummer! m.ua-cam.com/video/tlcpuHDBICY/v-deo.html&pp=ygUZQ291bnQgQmFydG9rIG1vcmJpZCBhbmdlbA%3D%3D Your guitars are really beautiful, the star is really crazy. Do you have one that you prefer?
This is so insane. Must have taken you lots of time to master this at such high level. Respect.
Many thanks! Yes it has taken me time, I'd say the most important work was even before trying to play these solos: all the techniques and tones I've worked on before have helped me a lot to then be able to play this.
Treys solos give me that Lovecraft Great Old Ones vibe.
Just brutal, I wish Trey would play the solos so faithful live
I play guitar and Trey is one of my inspirations, having the privilege of watching you reproduce this masterpiece really touch me, thanks !

@@patrikbnvn2847 It’s a pleasure talking with you! Trey has been one of my favorite musicians for a long time, I hope he continues to release albums. Here is my first UA-cam channel I also play on morbid angel but I am a drummer! m.ua-cam.com/video/tlcpuHDBICY/v-deo.html&pp=ygUZQ291bnQgQmFydG9rIG1vcmJpZCBhbmdlbA%3D%3D
