This guy is amazing. He just gets up there and does his stuff. He does not worry about doing everything perfect or technicalities. He just loves the music. Hah and to think that some people think all Black Metal musicians are evil!
this guy is sooo badass ! most black metal guys don't include the word joke in their dictionary especially when they are in the public, this guy breaks that barrier and also makes it look great !
Dude, I was at a front stage with these guys at El Torreon in KC, and Abbath was all like: So dude, what do you want us to play? And I said: TYRANTS! Abbath was like: We will give you the Tyrants!!!!! I will never forget that as long as I live! Immortal are some of the coolest dudes in black metal! :D
TAKA TAKA Hahahahaha. Man, I'd like to go driking with Abbath. He's funny as hell. For the people that say he's not that good in previous vids, I'd like you to compose for every instrument in a band. He's an excellent bass player and just listen to his mad hatter drumming in Immortal's mid-period after Armagedda left and Horgh took over. As great a guitar player as Demonaz is he just created solos, Abbath IS Immortal.
You can tell he loves music. You can tell he understands music. You can tell knows what he is doing with the guitar. You can tell he knows what he wants out of the guitar. And more importantly, you can tell he knows how to use it. Heil Immortal!
well, to tell u guys frankly, i never liked abbath or immortal in any way.. but not until i've finished all these 5part video.. i think hes amazing!!!.. ok hes not a guitar virtuoso but hes got a great attitude! i luv it.. its seldome for a metalhead to be funny like him.. from now on im gonna be 1 of his fans!
the reason why this guy and Immortal are so good is that they are great fukin riffs! everybody chugs along, everybody shows off their guitar gear, but creating great riffs that stand alone without anything else almost, doesnt happen that much...
i love his face when he hits the harmonics, like "holy shit, i did it!" lol he's hilarious, i have like infinite respect for immortal now, knowing that they arent douche bags, just down to earth great guys lol
@Psytheslasher Hahahaha Well, IMO Immortal is all about tone. The riffs are played to fit the atmosphere and tone. With the wrong tone etc., then the song just gets forgotten. That's how a lot of black metal and doom metal is; all tone and atmosphere. Don't get me wrong, Immortal has awesome riffs, but they are all there at that pace to make you put on your grim-face.
Tyka Tyka !! :D Abbath-The Greatest and the most natural Son of The Northern Darkness in the world :D And Immortal=The most perfect (for me of coz) band in the fvkkin universe :D \m/
@EighteenBuddha no im suprised someone like ABBATH liked zeppelin and van halen, bc as a metal head i don't like either one of those bands, they just never appealed to me. I know alot of metal musicians who liked bands like Genesis, Journey, Blue Oyster Cult, classic rock and everything. I know the roots of metal
hes an grim and frostbitten comedian^^ at the end of the video you can see what i mean^^ but he can plays great^^ an Immortal are no satanics or something
lol this just goes to show that musicians in black metal DO have a personality. i can't believe a black metal guy like him liked bands like van halen and zepplin. im trying to learn how he plays it by watching him but damn it i can't tell what the chords/notes are
Maybe the tonic note is the same in one of the chords, but Abbath plays 5 different, and i think that song is the same upping one fret each time :S, but it's fucking epic taka taká from 1:15... Another thing, don't try to compare megadeth with immortal ^^
i love this tuning, sounds amazing
Yup. It’s D standard (same as Motley Crue & Slaughter)
This guy is amazing. He just gets up there and does his stuff. He does not worry about doing everything perfect or technicalities. He just loves the music.
Hah and to think that some people think all Black Metal musicians are evil!
What a rascaly goofball. Thank you Abbath for breaking new ground in BM guitar playing and keeping your sense of humor intact.
this guy is sooo badass ! most black metal guys don't include the word joke in their dictionary especially when they are in the public, this guy breaks that barrier and also makes it look great !
Dude, I was at a front stage with these guys at El Torreon in KC, and Abbath was all like: So dude, what do you want us to play?
And I said: TYRANTS!
Abbath was like: We will give you the Tyrants!!!!!
I will never forget that as long as I live! Immortal are some of the coolest dudes in black metal!
:D
The riffs in Tyrants are so beautiful.
Jeah he is so amazing he play the riffs so powerfull
Hes unique in his guitar playing...
THATS what makes him so damn good...
Totally a new style of guitar playing...
Thats Immortal !!!...
his voice almost sounds like on their albums ^^ fkin impressive and his face is just awesome XD
TAKA TAKA Hahahahaha. Man, I'd like to go driking with Abbath. He's funny as hell.
For the people that say he's not that good in previous vids, I'd like you to compose for every instrument in a band.

It's like going to Guitar Center and seeing a kid really giving it everything.
he makes an awesome "i'm concentrating really hard on playing this riff right" face.
i would have never put the kashmir reference in "tyrants" till this lesson/interview-awesome!
01:06 I can't stop laughing, fucking awsome. I'd say this guy is like the complete opposite of that Dead (late mayhem singer) guy..
You can tell he loves music.
You can tell he understands music.
You can tell knows what he is doing with the guitar.
You can tell he knows what he wants out of the guitar.
And more importantly, you can tell he knows how to use it.
Heil Immortal!
...great sound! Great and IMMORTAL Abbath!!!
when you pluck the string with your pick, you let your thumb brush against the string on its way past it.
His vocal techique is awesome.
Truly awesome. Thanks for the upload.
I love immortal. The new stuff is so melodic. especially Unearthly kingdom that song fucking owns
he is a great guitar player, but his voice is his real instrument that makes immortal so fucking awesome!!!
Pure feel and great personality... He´s pretty cool at record a guitar video without all of that boring and remaked music theory lessons...
Wow. I've never watched a guitar lesson video that made me laugh so hard while also making the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
Abbath fuukin owns in the riff department!!!
This man is a fucking hero. I mean, who else sings during a guitar lesson? And 1:15 kinda proved that he is truly a god among men.
cant barely play the song that inspired him but a master at playing his version!! ahahahahhah IMMORTAL!
his riffs are really catchy.black metal and chronic joints all day bizotch!
I wish I can do fast picking as smoothly as he does 3:28 . One of the most fucking epic riffs ever
that chord progression at 3:29 is legendary
He has such an awesome guitar sound, it comes through even on this shitty recording
the opening riff sounds sick as shit when he plays it slower
they are realeasing a new album at the end of the month!
abbath is such a character hah love it
well, to tell u guys frankly, i never liked abbath or immortal in any way.. but not until i've finished all these 5part video.. i think hes amazing!!!.. ok hes not a guitar virtuoso but hes got a great attitude! i luv it.. its seldome for a metalhead to be funny like him.. from now on im gonna be 1 of his fans!
the reason why this guy and Immortal are so good is that they are great fukin riffs! everybody chugs along, everybody shows off their guitar gear, but creating great riffs that stand alone without anything else almost, doesnt happen that much...
that riff is amazing
thank Abbath, for these "lessons"
0:33 _"Fucking hell, Kashmir. I'm out!!"_ *-Abbath (2008)*
Almost spat my red wine on my computer when he did harmonic face...
i love his face when he hits the harmonics, like "holy shit, i did it!" lol he's hilarious, i have like infinite respect for immortal now, knowing that they arent douche bags, just down to earth great guys lol
"The opening riff of... errgh ughh. "
Amen, brother!
Abbath - classic character
i love the chorus part for tyrants
@Psytheslasher
Hahahaha
Well, IMO Immortal is all about tone. The riffs are played to fit the atmosphere and tone. With the wrong tone etc., then the song just gets forgotten. That's how a lot of black metal and doom metal is; all tone and atmosphere. Don't get me wrong, Immortal has awesome riffs, but they are all there at that pace to make you put on your grim-face.
When his face morphs I’m like hell yeah abbbathhhhhh
First time I saw these, I thought, "Hey, it's Skwisgaar!" :P
yes, i know now, ive read the comments, and its Kashmir and ive sense learned to play the opening, but thanks anyways :)
who cares if hes not techical, hes a good player, and loves what he does.
I find him scarier without make-up rather than with... actually, he naturally scares the shit out of me - but I'd gladly have him home for dinner...
Is not the most talented of all guitar players but he sures does enjoy to play and it , and that is good too
@washburnsl60 True. Cheers from Texas!
and I quote...
"...and I was like... 'fuckin hell kashmir, im out!!"
Pretty much the greatest summation ever.
exactly, cheers mate.
He could sit there and hold a chord for fucking ever and I would enjoy the fuck out of it.
bass...keyboard...drum...guitar...singer...i think he also sell tickets for concerts...t shirts and albums
@Empr4evr he was inspired by George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher of Cannibal Corpse
The only thing I learned here is that Abbath is a great funny guy !!
Tyka Tyka !! :D Abbath-The Greatest and the most natural Son of The Northern Darkness in the world :D And Immortal=The most perfect (for me of coz) band in the fvkkin universe :D \m/
total support for imortal
he seems to be a nice guy
@EighteenBuddha no im suprised someone like ABBATH liked zeppelin and van halen, bc as a metal head i don't like either one of those bands, they just never appealed to me. I know alot of metal musicians who liked bands like Genesis, Journey, Blue Oyster Cult, classic rock and everything. I know the roots of metal
2:40 = greatest expression in metal!
he rules !!!
Dude, they're about to release a new album. They got back together a while ago.
nathan explosion on metalocalypse as to be inspired by Abbath.
jaja, abbaath is such a cool guy, funny videos, hail immortal!
hes an grim and frostbitten comedian^^ at the end of the video you can see what i mean^^ but he can plays great^^ an Immortal are no satanics or something
it's a pinch harmonic. look it up.
Broken up?....They just put out a new record and have been playing live for the past few years.
hes the david guilmor of black metal..few notes but great
of course!!!!!
@EdgeStormcrow me too!!! it's to funny and it does it everytime
genius.
Nevermind, found it, Kashmir (or something like that)
lol this just goes to show that musicians in black metal DO have a personality. i can't believe a black metal guy like him liked bands like van halen and zepplin. im trying to learn how he plays it by watching him but damn it i can't tell what the chords/notes are
They should cover Kashmir.
@nounever I play that song with DGCFAD tunning
we have the same guitar!
"fucking hell touch my you mouth" Hell Yeah! :D
It's D, for everyone wondering.
2:59 i love it
Actually 1:52 - 2:04 is not bad at all! It sounds very doom!
"Fuckin hell Kashmir"!!! :P Abbath rules...

wow wow wow I lOve TH-cam!

Haha inspired by Led Zepplin xD thats something I didnt know xD, and he makes fun of him self xD haha
Maybe the tonic note is the same in one of the chords, but Abbath plays 5 different, and i think that song is the same upping one fret each time :S, but it's fucking epic taka taká from 1:15...
Another thing, don't try to compare megadeth with immortal ^^
I've been looking and looking and looking for them, haven't seen a damn thing. That's disappointing, they've been touring the US? Or outside of it?
