Crazy Death Metal guitarist and who I really want to get like one day on guitar. I love Death solos but I'm not good enough to play them. He is an incredibly fast picker that very rarely uses hammer ons or pull offs. Can anyone help me with picking an exercise lesson that can help me nail the solo at the following link.

Mainly the 2nd solo which is Chuck's solo. He is my idol and I wanna nail that solo. This is before he could really shred on guitar so I may have a chance .

Solos start at 03:10 through.

Also any idea what pedals he uses? I think he has the same amp as me onstage.

Can't help you with solo's sorry. But I do study/imitate his riff works though. One of my fav guitarist.

I love his stuff!!

Chuck is amazing, i miss him so much

I only know a few death songs with solo's, Like "Crystal Mountain", "Bite The Pain", "Flesh And The Power It Holds", "Cosmic Sea" and "The Philosopher".

I am able to play these, thanks to Pavel's Alternate Picking lessons, they are very good lessons, check them out!

Wow, didn't know those lessons are THAT effective Thanks man!

When i first came here, it was You and Kris as main instructors. I spent Ungodly amounts of hours practicing all your lessons, and Kris' lessons, once you started doing Alternate Picking lessons, that all i did for atleast 2-3 months.

It paid off

Great songs. My favourite song is 1,000 eyes followed by Perennial Quest and Defensive Personalities

Posted by: The Uncreator Dec 3 2007, 02:08 AM

My favorites would have to be the entire "Human" album, Crystal Mountain, Zero Tolerance, Bite The Pain, and a few others, actually, many others.

Well, you have officially put me in a Death mood (thats a good thing! )

I constantly watch their 3 Official DVD's. Great Music and he is one hell of a guitarist. I will become as good as him one day.

Posted by: The Uncreator Dec 3 2007, 02:11 AM

He is truly an amazing Musician,

Man, i still cant believe he is gone. I miss him so much, i cried the day i heard about it. Atleast we still got his music, some of the best there was and ever will be!!

Posted by: VinceG Dec 3 2007, 03:18 AM

What, cant believe you guys never mentioned Spiritual Healing.

Uncreator, I vote you to do a review for a Death album. Im sure sooner or later people would come and like them as much as Opeth is rising here.

Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Dec 3 2007, 03:19 AM

My favourite Death album but not my favourite song. I do love James Murphy's guitaring also however.

Posted by: The Uncreator Dec 3 2007, 04:11 AM

Don't get me wrong, still amazing!!

PS

Alright, you convinced me, i wrote one, im gonna do more Death albums though.

Posted by: KRmachine Dec 4 2007, 02:35 AM

Chiming in to say that Voice of the Soul on Sound of Perseverance is a great piece of music, and you should check it out. It's just layers of acoustic and electric guitars, no bass drums or vocals present, and it's still the best track on that album. Simply stunning and beautiful.

Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Dec 4 2007, 02:52 AM

Yep awesome song.

His most thoughtful piece though was the lead guitar he did on his mates song in tribute to Randy Rhoads.

Right at the top of the page called Hardly A Day Goes By. You will be impressed if you haven't heard. Some of Chuck's greatest work.

Posted by: The Uncreator Dec 4 2007, 04:01 AM

That his some of his best, havent heard it in awhile, thanks for the link.

A true innovator in the Death metal -genre

Posted by: Danilo Capezzuto Mar 28 2008, 12:38 PM

I couldn't stand this type of voice, but the band play f.....ing amazing!

Posted by: Duncan Apr 15 2008, 02:55 PM

Death were absolutely incredible. Chuck is still one of my favourite guitarists. The only solo I've been successful in learning however is Crystal Mountain.

Posted by: Nemanja Filipovic Apr 15 2008, 04:04 PM

they can play so good....

Posted by: The Uncreator Apr 15 2008, 07:03 PM

His solos are pretty tough, Some of them are just really abstract in there fingerings and positions. Makes it even harder due to the fact that he is almost completely doing alternate picking.

Still, A great man. He will be missed.
