For years..Every like 6 months I return to this video. I fucking love Michael keene.
What's up dude I know u!!
Brian Serotta Cheers!
So how y’all know each other
@@isaiahgrandt5305 It looks like they do
those chords in sons of belial are so SICK man, beautiful
This dude is a godly composer
minor triads + accidentals + dissonance = satan
hahahahahaha
What does he mean by accidentals?
+Fonzo Hernandez
Chromatic notes
+ slightly out of tune I guess...? What the hell was that
not sure how to explain, he clearly demonstrates the concept at 1:18
best three finger guitarist I have ever heard!
Dudes a god damn genius.
Those chords at 4:00 like explain my existence ahahah, man so layered and flavorful. I can't stand people that discredit metal. These guys are technical and soul gods.
Hope you get over yr addiction.
Yr absolutely an amazing composer and artist. And one helluva guitar player. Yr last record was beyond amazing.
I'm ready for the sequel.
Snap out of it dude.
Equivs to prayers on yr recovery...for real.
@George James is it so hard to stfu?
Oh wait I mean
"shut the fuck up"..?
There see? I even spelled it out for ya fucknut...
I really wish he would do more of these videos. I’d love to see his genius in action. Such a ridiculous player and writer.
I´ve always loved his harmonic progressions and linear soloing. So this video is a huge delight for me. The Faceless are the non cheesy version of Dream Theater. Especially if you take Autotheism.
Michael is an extremely gifted musician. I have a healthy jealousy his finely-honed skills. He's a damn good looking dude, too.
it seems to me that you like weinkeys. McPeppy, check out 'BTBAM Best solos' for a taste of the glory! See what it tastes like!
Last part was weird AF but okay
📸
yeah he's gorgeous, no homo tho.
@@SkateSmokeAndDrumbit of light homophobia?
Michael Keene is the proof that you don't need more than 6 strings to be fucking heavy
+Thrashmetalkicksass Opeth is the proof that you don't need to down tune to be heavy
+Thrashmetalkicksass Sylosis is keeping it heavy too, in standard tuning ;)
+Thrashmetalkicksass lamb of god is proof you don't down tuning or more than 6 strings to be heavy
yeah but 10 string is heavier
+Jerrylee Stewart-Gonzalez Lamb of God uses drop D tuning.
2:54 he went full Nick Cage right there.
HAHAHAHAH I NEVER THOUGHT ABUOT IT THAT WAY but damnnnnnn u rite u rite tho
That’s oddly accurate
He'd rather tap than just USE HIS DAMN PINKY
he needs to tap for the second sweep anyway so why shouldn't he already place his hand like that before?
the sons of belial ending solo is the most beautiful thing the faceless has ever written
Me, nodding along, pretending I understand: "Ah yes, accidentally triad minor, yes, yes of course"
The way he makes chords has had such an impact on the way I make my walking bass lines. I play prog rock/electronic rock stuff. THANK YOU MICHEAL KEENE
i Love listening to guitarists talk about music cuz we all have our own names for things so depending on the musician you talking with/listening to depends on the vocabulary you gotta know.
God that lineup, man.... this is still my biggest inspiration and you can hear it in the way I play. I fucking miss the faceless, this and akeldama faceless
Akeldama is my favorite, but all their albums have good songs. Instrumental illness is so fucking good
That tone is so sick.
True!
i don't use my pinky either. i also don't play guitar
Lmao!!
dudes a fucking beast.
That ain't no fucking joke.
Zachary Branham u speak the truth. he is a true master of the class.
jubzz insaine That he is. I also feel he is terribly underrated.
Zachary Branham Eh I wouldn't say that. The Faceless are very big in the metal scene and Michale Keene is a widely known name.
that's a beautiful finish on that guitar
Michael Keene and AJ Minette are so under rated :(
Watching this many times throughout the years, finally grabbed my guitar and tuned to drop C. Those chords are so much harder to play clean than he makes it look, gives me a deeper respect for his skills.
Oh so NOW you send me these TH-cam 😤😤😤
Where TF were you 6 years ago!!!
Same
This dude was nice enough to actually sign my Ibanez... stil haven't fully recovered from how much my jaw dropped lol
Michael Keene is unbelievable
One of my favorite metal guitarists.
That opening riff from the Ancient Covenant is so dope!
Amazing.
"and that is.. the riff :3" hahahahah
The point he makes at 3:51... awesome. I may need to try some drop tuning. Started looking into this guy as a curiosity and now I'm learning some cool things from him!
ha 10 years later and I'm thinking the same, never heard anyone say that about playing in drop tuning. usually it's just about the chugs, but he's talking about chord extensions. interesting.
LOVE THAT TEE!!! WAY TO GO SIR MICHAEL KEENE!!
one of my favorite bands
Pretty sure that tapping run is from Autotheist Movement III no?
I wasn't aware of the title cuz I clicked on the link and switched tabs real quick, so when the video started I thought I heard "this is my cocaine and your watching guitar messenger" lol
If my shitty explaining will help you in any way, basically an accidental is a note that doesn't really belong in a scale or mode. For example a C Maj scale is CDEFGABC, so if you play C-C#-D-D#-E-F, the C# and D# would be accidentals since you don't see them in a C Maj scale.
Triads are the basic fundamental notes of a chord/arpeggio. An A Maj chord is made of the notes AC#E. Play those 3 notes in succession and you're playing an A Maj triad. Hope that helped a bit.
Very nice BRJ
this man knows his theory
Watching this in 2020... in 1080p! Did you guys had cinema cameras back then? Most videos from 2012 are crusty potato quality.
Fuck. The chords he was playing. So beautiful and badass
Do you think the majority of metal guys know theory?And those people who gave 30 thumbs up on the comment that a Minor maj7 chord is fancy?Anyone who knows the bare minimum theory knows that shit.All the basic chords minor,major and dominant with all the extensions.Knowing them is easy.Using them to sound good is another story.And Keene uses them very well.
Planetary Duality I (Hideous Revelation) but that is just the intro for Planetary Duality II (A Prophecies Fruition). Hope it helps.
he's not using his pinky ?
yeah that's odd... isn't it alot more difficult if you don't use your pinky?
pretty sure he hurt his pinky and doesn't have full movement in it.
love his tone
digging the NIN shirt, great video!
Im so keened out
its a single note, which is called a root, (since the chord is built upon starting with that note).. with an added flat 3rd, and a 5th.
Love those chords. Piggy would surely approve.
his voice is makes me feel like I'm taking guitar lessons from lumpy space princess... Great lesson, he is such a talented music composer.
Hey guys, there's a link to tabs of all examples in the description!
nope, you liar
Glad somebody else noticed!
The song of the intro is Planetary Duality I
I dont wanna be a dick but this is one of the first riffs I learned I'm not kidding
Finally!
its his custom Bernie Rico Jr guitar. He also uses a green Washburn wm526.
What was every Sumerian band's obsession with Bernie Rico Jr. guitars at the start of the 2010s?
I’ll not even learn it but I like to watch every detail
go listen to their music and you tell us but i am gonna go out on a limb and say he is a beast by far 1 of my favorite guitarist's
thank you!!!
The 1:32 sweeps weren't maj 7 right? That sounds minor like the 2 first chords
Yeah I just recently started using a metronome and I didn't realize how much it helped. :D
I always liked him
💙👍👌👴❤💙💚💗💖for Face less!!!!!
no one commented on the bernie rico jr, hes not using the washburn
Bernie Jr guitars are all sick as hell i hope i can afford one some day, a man can dream right?
@alex villa it's planetary duality part 1
does anyone knows what song its on the intro at 0:10 ?
Love the minor-major 7th chord use
thenaks for the swift replly !
That Bernie Rico Jr. guitar finish is ballin
it can also be looked at as a g major 7. both are correct
Tapping riff at 5:00 is the solo tapping section in the song Deconsecrate xD
Man i remember seeing these guys in toronto back 2009 with veil of maya, they were fuckin savage and blew us away even for a small crowd of 100
OH SHIT! THE KEENE MACHINE STRIKES AGAIN!
In the intro section? Planetary Duality I.
touche. But one can only fathom how many possibilities would be unlocked with the additional use of that thereof
he totally has a pinky complex, rare to see him use it!
Like the NIN shirt.
Chuck doesn't use his pinky much up on the higher frets, which is actually pretty normal. Keene just doesn't use it often for anything.
his tone is probably the cleanest in death metal. how he do it?!
I've watched this video a lot
Trust me man, you'll want to learn. In their new CD, they use the pinky.
excelente! muy bueno para estudiar los temas :3!
How to play fancy guitar chords: 1 make a weird, grotesque shape with your hand. 2 place it on you guitar (preferably on the strings). 3 strum
i believe hes using a bernie rico jr not shure of the model but i think its a jekyll
I am aware of this. Awhile could either imply that he just oined, or that he's been it it for a long time, (from the beginning).
+Daniel K. A spy chord is minor chord with a major 7. Austin Powers. Also a C-shape major7 chord with a #5 sounds pretty james bond.
I talked to him about it in chicago, it was an injury. he seemed kinda bummed out when i asked him(or just tired and hungry). I think it may have advanced his playing and style.
Good...!!
i think i read that he has always had an issue with the muscles in his left hand that makes playing with his pinky too difficult to bother with so he almost always plays with 3 fingerz
I’m literally sitting with MICHAEL right now and we are laughing at your post. Only time he has problems with the muscles in his left hand is when his fiancée Lindsey is mad at him and he hast to jerk off.
@@Surfvolcom77 can you ask him where i can score some black tar
giveaway I’m the dealer.
Why is everyone freaking out about the pinky? That guy has written 3 complex and technical albums without using it. He clearly doesn't need it.
ONE DOES NOT NEED TO USE,
WHAT ONE DOES NOT NEED TO USE.
I'm new to The Faceless so forgive me when I ask, what's the song playing in the intro?
Planetary Duality I (Hideous Revelation)
Thanks buddy
Thumbs up just for that amazing profile picture
Thx. Well,nowadays it's no problem to get guitars anyways, even if your country does not have those , you can just go to the big guitar shop: for example in Canada it is, Tom Lee and L&M and they will order whatever guitar you want from USA, and you just gotta wait, and pay a bit extra.
Why did this video have to end
wheres your source that he has focal dystonia? I knew he had some sort of problem that was rumored. but never found a reliable source of him saying it himself.
the tapping technique is from michael romeo
