Slayer (read 'Jeff') often uses big third in minor riffs (like G# in Em, 'World Painted Blood' for example), and Metallica - melodic minor (like C# in Em, riff on bass solo from 'Spit Out The Bone'). All of that makes some unexpected to ears turns and brings exotic colours to sound
@@stantorren4400 yeah I have since moved on entirely from metal since making this comment and I feel like you should get ryhtms and phrasing down before you attempt to try and solo.

Well Death and Nile fit right there as well sure... but hearing Tyler play the scale I heard some 'tallica flavor here and there... But this could be said for hundreds if not thousands of bands.
Also you cant play them correct on youtube anymore. The record companies will come for your butt if you try to make money of a video playing a copyrighted riff.
@@Buraz93 Well if you all know how the riff is played... I dont think it matters for the purpose of the video which is to talk a little about the basic approach and not to learn the songs. They are on youtube in several versions to learn.
I'm a blues player but your videos always entice me to venture into new areas and genres. I'm finally getting a handle on the modes from the Super System and your TH-cam videos make more sense now. Thx!
6:09 He’s actually playing the Riff of the verse at the pretty END of the song. So it’s actually RIGHT because Dave is playing this simplified version there.. 🤘🏻 Rock on!
My default for whatever I write is E natural minor, but for a certain idea I wanted to use E locrian to make for an alarming mood; that later turned into super locrian as a b4 fitted better than a natural 4 and then the b5 was too uncomfortable, so I raised that one and I ended up in E phrygian b4 from the harmonic major system There isn't really any trem picking in it so far, but that might change and I'm on high tempo anyway (195 bpm, was planning on switching to a 12/8 signature (equivalent to triplet notes in 4/4 at 130 bpm) for a little while) For as far as I've done anything with thrash I haven't yet applied trem picking at all, maybe 1 speed metal song that I got is maybe a bit on the edge between speed and thrash (but then the thrashy part drops a bit at the backup riffs for the solos and the long power chords at the chorus) and the tempo is only 140 bpm, but the rythm is in double time, so...
ApachE no. I mean the mechanix. Mustaine originally wrote it, then Metallica rewrote a lot of it. I mean the song that Megadeth released on Killing is my Business
Minor scales with that oriental feel phrygian Harmonic etc AND a fast speed bpm, 16th notes 32nd notes as well as 16 32 note triplets, sliding Power chords AND Palm muting dynamics . Add triplets as well AND odd rhythms ( not on the downbeat ) 👍👍 synchronize the triplets with the bass drum for a heavier feel
Simsom Guppington umm have you not seen tyler emulate dimebag in his metal guitar legends vid? u may not be entirely wrong, but I'm sure that he at least likes Pantera somewhat *sry I replied to the wrong comment initially
Then it's more like the blurred lines between two or even three genres. Then again, the way evolution works, there are the groupers, and there are the separators. People who prefer to classify groups as narrow as possible or as wide as possible. And, every band is their own thing, so it's hard to say. Are you with me on that?
Jacob Oberstadt Slayer is pretty much just thrash they just have a brutal theme that usually death metal does. Although, death metal and thrash metal are kind of related in some ways, but has major differences though.
Malachi Woodard Yeah, for example I find there's a lot of jazz influence even in death metal, and there's way more harmonization and dynamics, and technical musical tools that don't show up in old school thrash.
Great video! I'm all the way to thrash metal and D.R.I. is one of my favourites. Have you ever heard about Lost Society? They're finnish thrash band and they kick so much ass!
btw the Holy Wars riff is what you play for one bar, then instead of playing on the 5th fret and hammering on to 7, you have to play on the 10th fret and pull off to.
i like playing like how Dave Mustain plays by resting his pick hand slightly on the strings to get that muting sound after the power cords but i step up the speed to get that wicked crunch that CANNIBAL CORPSE gave us in the Chris Barnes days! the song "GUTTED" off "BUTCHERED AT BIRTH" is a perfect example!
You get 1,000,000 scene points just for mentioning that band. There seems to be a lack of appreciation for D.R.I. and Nuclear Assault around these parts as well.
@@nadernatsheh9857 Well, the masses don't know anyway. My crappy band was lucky enough to get to open for D.R.I. in Massachusetts in a small club back in 2018, and I must say... they put on a near flawless performance. They still have it. Keep it heavy brother.
When I see these thrash instructional videos, I always have to remind myself that some of the younger players aren’t as familiar with it as we older players. Back in the ‘80s & ‘90s, especially in Los Angeles, it was common place. Thrash got a bad rap from some people, though. We were warming up & some guitarist for a funk band scoffed & chuckled & rolled his eyes as he said, “Trash Metal.” I played an intro riff to one of my songs, held my guitar out to him & said, “Play that riff.” His response: “Oh, I can’t play that.” My response: “Then shut the f... up! Don’t talk sh... about the music I write if you lack the skills to play it.” I mean, seriously. There are some types of music that I am not a fan of, for example Jazz Fusion, but I don’t talk sh... about the musicians, because I know I cannot play it. If it is simple & easy to play I can understand someone dismissing it, but to dismiss someone’s music to their face is a d... move & worse if the person slinging the insult lacks the skill to play it.
wow nice first time i see a comment about in thrash you did not really got a scale everything is possible. but with time i use to spot where is my sound the scale and keep going playing by ear with mixing the scale with .and not forgetten you can almost add any note it s looking simple and at that point you really see how a guitarist know what he doing :) it a thing about see the scale,tempo,sound and add note wasnt suppose to be there only thing i dont try to mix i see couple note does not sound good bending but i know why it s still pretty awesome to understand at least
Really dude? Have you forgotten about Risk? Youthanasia? Cryptic Writings? United Abominations? Fucking Super Collider? Yea the old shit like Peace Sells, Killing is my business, and Rust in Peace are great but there's no denying that the overall Megadeth catalog is average at best, and in my opinion pretty mediocre.
Chief Thunder The fuck are you talking about. The first 6 Megadeth albums were outstanding classics. Youthanasia wasn't thrash but was an amazing heavy metal album. Cryptic Writings leans to alt. Metal and has some thrash songs that have great melodies such as The Disintegrators and FFF. Risk is an alright Alternative album. And United Abominations is a good album itself, more progressive metal but it's not "average." And yeah, Super Collider was pretty shit. But to the point, you listed 5 albums of their 15. So I mean, such an "average" band. Their earlier shit was better than anything else at that time, faster, more melody, better composition. Etc.
Do you think you could do a video on how to make your pinky stronger? Like tips, excercises, etc… because I'm a well developed guitar player by now, but I never really trained my pinky enough, so when I try to use it now a days it becomes the bane of my existence. Thanks.
labuti17 take a power chord and replace your ring finger with your pinky and just play and every now and then slide your pinky down one fret while keeping your index in the same spot. Overtime you will feel more confident using your pinky but you can also do pull ons and pull offs in the same context and potentially you'll get faster at it. Hope this helps, it helped me with the same problem!
I would add play your scales as quick as you can, and implement your pinky on the far notes. I'm only three years in, but my pinky is pretty strong, and I warm up that way (and with alternate picking excercizes all the time
i undestand too play with 5 movable form and original pattern of they add some pentatonic and have fun adding note haha i love thrashh metal i will go see d.r.i at ottawa and rockfest montebello
Brandon Booze He’s actually playing the Riff of the verse at the pretty END of the song. So it’s actually right because Dave is playing this simplified version there.. 🤘🏻
If you were to do unmuted single-string parts of a riff, (like the prechorus in Anthrax's Madhouse), what intervals would be good to emphasize?

"I'm not gonna Name 'Em All..."
Heh. Name em all
Text em all
You forgot the number one tip to playing thrash metal: wear denim
And some leather, but a whole lot of denim
Oh, and no karate in the pit
the tone is different when you wear denim

Sounded like Hit the Lights at the start
Ben Flood it really did
Ballard O'Grady what was that In English?
I thought it was Metal Militia but hit the lights makes more sense
metal militia?
It's all the same notes anyways lol.
I prefer playing the fast rhythms in thrash rather than shredding
But you need both

Thrash metal:

Down picking
Head banging
High Volumes

Alt picking is as common as down picking in thrash

Intro
When you find a bad tab for hit the lights
My favorite thrash band is Nickelback
I thought Nickelback was death metal
Simsom Guppington wrong, Nickelback is clearly black tech death grind core
SMH nickleback are MEGABILLYTHRASHPOPDEATHCORE. DUH
*trash
I thought they were Pizza Deliverycore
Slow tempo can exist in thrash, if it is still chugging and brutal- And then there were none by exodus, (the intro of ) rat eater - toxic Holocaust and a few others I don't remember , and also if it builds tension
A disillusioned Idiot And pasta It has to have a fast feeling. Even if it's slower
Slow thrash is groove metal.
Yes a nice mix between the two is nice
Master of Puppets album is deff a mid tempo thrash
E harmonic minor is 100% Metallica
Well Death and Nile fit right there as well sure... but hearing Tyler play the scale I heard some 'tallica flavor here and there... But this could be said for hundreds if not thousands of bands.
more like beethoven
Death are more into phrygian mode and other variants of it than harmonic minor for the most part tbh. Nile definitely though haha
Metallica play Harmonic minor and Lochian. And others. They just play what sounds tight to them.
The ending of Creeping Death is literally this scale note for note, that's why it sounded so "Metallica" to me ;)
“Early megadeth”
“Holy wars”
(Two words combined that cant make sense) edit: I have fixed my mistake thank you for pointing it out
that's four words...
Military intelligence
Can't*
Nathan Nott lmao shut up
Just a rhyme without a reason
thrash is all about gallopy and semi-palm muted riffs
Angel of Death is only about 160 bpm. It's played in double time for a lot of the song, giving the impression of being around 320.
Thrash metal in four words:
0-0-0-0
Nikola Brajic that's slayer in four words not thrash
Nikola Brajic djent*
nah, too slow. 0000 is perfect
Cyrekt nah. That’s Thrash. I’ve been learning Metallica songs and the amount of open E and A string is insane.
It's actually 0000001000101010100065001006500100650001
Vektor, progressive blackened thrash with a tinge of death, anyone
Guh uh Huh best band ever those guys are incredible
great thrash band, i was thinking of them when i clicked the video
Guh uh Huh Best band ever tbh
Guh uh Huh Thrash Metal. They play Thrash Metal.
Big Daddy They play progressive thrash with heavy black and death influence.
My favourite thrash metal band will always be Testament
The Holy Wars riff is actually a hammer on from D to E , then pull off from G to E
Actually it’s impossible
slow tempo doesn't exist in trash? Harvester of sorrow
THRASH!!! Not Trash, Thrash!! lol
Heppuman therefore, Harvester = not thrash :)
FartyFiddler fuck you
Heisenberg Crow well that escalated quickly xD I meant no disrespect buddy.
eet fuk I would say a lot of songs from the black album are more groove metal than they are thrash

6:09
He’s actually playing the Riff of the verse at the pretty END of the song.
So it’s actually RIGHT because Dave is playing this simplified version there..
🤘🏻
Rock on!
Actually the end verse riff is different
Nice video Tyler, you should make a series out of this with different styles of metal or guitar based music in general.
My default for whatever I write is E natural minor, but for a certain idea I wanted to use E locrian to make for an alarming mood; that later turned into super locrian as a b4 fitted better than a natural 4 and then the b5 was too uncomfortable, so I raised that one and I ended up in E phrygian b4 from the harmonic major system
There isn't really any trem picking in it so far, but that might change and I'm on high tempo anyway (195 bpm, was planning on switching to a 12/8 signature (equivalent to triplet notes in 4/4 at 130 bpm) for a little while)
For as far as I've done anything with thrash I haven't yet applied trem picking at all, maybe 1 speed metal song that I got is maybe a bit on the edge between speed and thrash (but then the thrashy part drops a bit at the backup riffs for the solos and the long power chords at the chorus) and the tempo is only 140 bpm, but the rythm is in double time, so...
Holy wars - one of the best riffs
My favourite guitar youtuber finally makes a video about the style of music I play. Yes.
Great video Tyler!
your amount of subscribers are rising fast man
Michel Lieferink deservedly so he is a great explainer.
hastyberford yea man
it's totally due to his off the cuff "how do you play guitar in 3 words or less?" rock star interviews ... :/
Sneeky Pete after he did those videos it has rised oretty damn fast yea
Megadeth's Mechanix is probably the fastest Thrash song. 260bpm
There are tons of faster songs, e.g. Reign in Blood album.
You mean Metallica's The four Horsemen?
ApachE no. I mean the mechanix. Mustaine originally wrote it, then Metallica rewrote a lot of it. I mean the song that Megadeth released on Killing is my Business
+Ryan Thompson Guitarist. You just been triggered

normal human xD if it is, but I was really referring to the band Overkill
Who cares
Benhardlover overkill is named after the motorhead song.
Same
Love the grave, deep voice for the serious but awesome genre \m/
I really like how you break these things down.
Am I correct in saying that Sodom or Slayer is thrash, but they're more of an intermediate into the realm of death metal?
Precisely. Slayer is definitely thrash, but you can hear how they influenced death metal in the drums and some of the riffing.
Jacob Oberstadt the german thrash bands yes because they use a more gutteral/raspy/distorted vocal style
Then it's more like the blurred lines between two or even three genres. Then again, the way evolution works, there are the groupers, and there are the separators. People who prefer to classify groups as narrow as possible or as wide as possible. And, every band is their own thing, so it's hard to say. Are you with me on that?
