Hahaha that lick he talked about repeatedly playing over and over is the same noodle Skwisgaar is always playing in the background of scenes in metalocalypse. Nice little personal touch in there
haha great spot!
I expected that would be the case because Skwizgar is always doing real etudes like that one.
The MAN, the MYTH, the L E G E N D
I knew it! I knew that sounded familiar 😂
LOL thanks for pointing that out, thats so awesome
"I would never play a full song. I would only play bits and pieces of songs."
After 25 years of playing guitar, that's still what I do...
Same
so...........howdya earn a living?
I just do a bunch of dumb chugs, or what I think are chugs.
Lmfao FACTZ...been doing it for years
Same! 😂
"Everything's hard." Dude he's so right.
In my Pants maybe
exactly what i thought when he said that
Why can't everything be easy
@@KVD22 I guess then it wouldn't be worth doing.
@@KVD22 because it's hard.
I love his cartoon “Home Movies”. One of the most underrated cartoons ever made. Genius comedy.
My introduction to the delicious deadpan of H Jon Benjamin.
Thank fuck. I was just about to comment most people remember him from Metalocalypse (which is great), but I have great memories of him from Home Movies. As Mike said, it was also my introduction to H. Jon Benjamin. On a side note, I'd like to mention I think both Home Movies and Mission Hill are overlooked so much, but they're classics in my book.
Coach mcguirk
@@chairmankaga101 Did you know he also voices Jason in Home Movies? I just found out recently.
Agree. One of my favorite shows
He's basically Mike Judge if MJ could shred in a death metal band.
Mike judge can play. He wrote and recorded the Beavis and Butthead theme, 'frog baseball'.
Mike judge IS a bass player 👀👀 they should jam
@Lujack Shaw "We're either ahead of our time, or far far past it"
Even looks a lot like him.
Lol they do remind me of each other
I feel like his guitar journey is the same for many of us who clicked on this video.
Bro fr
Absolutely 💯 I still never play full songs and I've been playing for 13 years
Man, couldn’t agree more…..I only play my favorite parts out of a song.
ikr learning how to play iron man was super difficult when you didn't even had calluses on your hands
ikr learning how to play iron man was super difficult when you didn't even had calluses on your hands
"Go into the water" is a fuckin banger. Truly epic song
Pickles Intro is a banger.
Aeee Fuckkn Men!!! 🤘
I like go forth and die
Yeah that one's great
Careful bro, that album is Intended For Fish Only.
The name of all songs, for the youngers:
0:28 - Sweeet Child o Mine - Guns n' Roses
1:27 - Blues riff
1:51 - Iron Man - Black Sabbath
2:50 - Hot for Teacher - Van Halen
2:59 - Always with me, Always with you - Joe Satriani.
3:10 - Wasted Years - Iron Maiden
4:03 - The Number of The Beast - Iron Maiden
4:23 - Battery - Metallica
5:43 - Deththeme - Dethklok

Just after Hot for teacher, about 2:59, he does a small section of 'Always with me, Always with you' by Joe Satriani.
What was that quick bit at 3:09? Play With Me, right? First thing that popped into my head was the Beethoven mall scene from Bill and Ted.
@@MechaWrecka have a listen to 'Losfer words (big 'orra)' by Iron Maiden. Just after the first solo, at about 2mins35sec, there's a bit that sounds like that. However, it's a fairly generic riff so it could be from anywhere
Lol im 22 and know all these
@@Jammy_Jim Sounds more like Cliffs of Dover by Eric Johnson to me
Hearing Brendon talk about never playing full songs makes me happy knowing that I could relate to guitar god
i know a thousand riffs but cant play a single full song 🤣
Same.
I'm the opposite. I played so many full songs its ridiculous. Not gonna lie, once I was done I didn't want to listen to the song again for a really long time.
@@thedude8526 thats part of whay makes me not want to learn some songs... especially my favourite songs
I'm learning now. Just taking riffs from here there and everywhere to practice
I actually met Brendon Small at a signing during DethAlbum II I brought him my white les paul special with scalloped frets for him to autograph, and my friend brought him his metallica poster and Brendon said "You know I helped make them famous?" and we all laughed, and Brendon gave me a hug, hes a great guy. Man those were some good times.
@Jaxon Suede Man, I loved Home Movies back in the day!
So cool! I had a brief encounter with Brendon at a SD ComicCon back in the early 2000s, and he shook my hand and exchanged a few earnest words with me. It was one of my few celebrity interactions, and by far the most pleasant and enjoyable :-)
Man, I miss the days of physical human interaction without having to think twice about it. Hugs, handshakes, pats on the back will never be the same. Thanks for sharing, dude! 💀🖤🤖
@@crmsn_ why? Do you hate having an immune system that works? Go outside for fucks sake
yer speshul derrrrrrrrrr
Brendon Small looks like that cool teacher who’d talk about Iron Maiden or Black Sabbath during lunch or study hall.
So nobody thinks that he looks like Peyton Manning in the thumbnail?
I could listen to Brendon play all day long. His music and the show Metalocalypse got me through some VERY tough times as a PTSD diagnosed vet. The music, the show's humor, were both dark and brutal and would give me back that bit of edge I had lost inside. It may sound stupid to me now, but at the time, Brendon's music and Dethklok stopped me from eating a bullet or a bottle of pills. Thank you Brendon for what you have done. I'm alive because of your creations and the power of metal.
You doing better now? 😢
The exercise that he took from Gilbert is actually what skwisgaar plays all the time
Holy shit you’re right...
@Ethernaut very touching. Keep on writing poems 😂😂🤟
TABS PLZ
@@philiom7724 go to 4:42 & set video to 0.25 speed then you can copy 👍
dear god i had to rewind that bit at .25 speed and heard him speak.
all of the nightmares..
Dethklok's Awaken never fails to give me goosebumps, great riffs!
My favorite!
That's the song I use for my alarm.
GRAMPAS GUITARS
Rise... Rise.... RICEE...
@@yash1140 Hi Barbara, good to see your butt.. I mean, I mean, you back dammit
When I saw Dethklok live, it was the loudest and most brutal show I've ever had the privilege of attending. They toured with Mastodon and it was an absolutely awesome show. Mastodon played the entirety of Crack the Skye, which was amazing. By the end of Dethkloks set, when I walked out of the Armory, my ears were ringing and I could barely walk straight. It was such a good time! Here is to hoping another tour with the release of the upcoming movie. Love you Brendan, you rock!!
That sounds legendary. Dethklok and mastodon .
The armory in SF?
@@bluunttrauma3762 No, probably the one in Minnesota.
Saw Mastodon and Gojira together, which was epic, but damn, Mastodon and Dethklok? Bucket list stuff!
hearing crack the skye in its entirety would be dope as f all by itself
"The less hard you play, the easier the riff would come" totally shaped my technique while I was still getting started playing and saved me so much grief since I didn't have to correct it later. Thank you Brendon Small.
The dethklok theme song sounds so weird without the rest of the band. Lol.
So do the rest of the songs. Everything Brendon writes is super amazing even with only one guitar though.
So glad to see that Brendon Small is still playing. Can't wait to see how the new movie is gonna be! I hope everything goes well!
What movie??
@@ashutoshJMJK The Metalocalypse Movie!
@@ashutoshJMJK Adult Swim signed 3 movies for The Venture Bros., ATHF, and Metalocalypse! Super stoked for all 3!
YEEEEEES!!!! Didn’t know about the movie! Can’t wait.
He mentions in the video part of why it sounds weird: Dethklok stuff is always tuned to C, and he's playing it in E Standard in this video. Everything is two whole steps higher than it should be.
Brendon Smalls is the Ryan Reynolds of the metal community.
personally one of my huge inspirations, glad he's still playing.
Huh???
Cringe
Ryan Reynolds the actor? What has he ever done to be an inspiration for you? Just asking.
@@Cthulhu_Awaken Obviously, you forgot about him being one of the guys in the monster hit TV series, "Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place". Oh, and "Deadpool". Perhaps you've heard of it... 😉
Why wouldn't he still be playing?
It's crazy how much we all can relate to him. He's just like us just noodling around on the guitar
It's cool his favorite parts of his own songs are very Van Halen inspired
re visiting this video I knew he was going to play sweet child as soon as I saw his hand placement lol my very first riff and now I cant stand to hear it anymore
This so cool listening to Brendon tell us his journey of guitar. Sounds like the same journey we all took to become Guitarist. Crazy
That Sweet Child riff is literally what got me started too...jeeze like 16 years ago now. Crazy.
I thought I was weird bcuz I only like learning certain parts of songs to get the techniques then jam out on my own with backing drums
Wouldn't all of you too just laid in bed, bored or sleepy, with the guitar on your hands just doodling around randomly?
Metalocalypse is a brilliant comedy, and the fact that Brendon composed the music and produced the shows on top of writing the thing is mind boggling. I’ve watched the whole series about 10x and am watching it again currently (they took the first several seasons off of Adult Swim for some reason). It gets better every time I watch it, especially Murderface and Toki.
Plus he does the voices for Nathan, Pickles, and Skwizgar! Talented fella for sure.
@@pitchfolkmedia916 you'd be surprised how much of the main cast is just him: nathan, pickles, skwisgaar, charles, dick knubbler.. and several other characters i'm sure. he is insanely talented in so many fields.
It's funny in its own right, and it's ten times funnier than that because it's basically a show making total fun of how utterly ridiculous metal can be... yet metal fans love it. It's hard as shit to parody something without pissing off the people you're parodying.
So Small is clearly a genius.
Either that, or metal fans are so dumb they just don't realize he's making fun of them.
@@dogslobbergardens6606 a lot of metal fans know the shit we listen to is at least a little ridiculous. We like it that way.
@@ProfessorShnacktime I understand completely. But a lot don't, too.
Man, if Coach McGuirk could see him now
Get back in goal, Melissa!!
Freaky! Outie!
Dude the thing about never learning a whole song is too real. It's crazy how stoked I was to learn the intro to Devi's Island by Megadeth even tho I couldn't play the rest haha
Yup. I learned wake up dead to a point and never finished but man it was so fun to play, especially when Dave does the spider chord
It's the small bits that inspire us.
You may like the whole song, but just like with porn, there will be favourite parts in it that make us excited.
Brendon is a very under rated guitarist and composer, an unsung hero of beautiful melodies
Also tone master I would say
4:42 That's what Skwisgaar plays when he's just sitting around doing nothing... It all makes sense now
The maiden influence is so relevant. In a time of heavily blues influenced classic rock, maiden was truly a pioneer in making things fast and melodic. Dave Murray was huge on how I approach guitar now a days!
Adrian Smith for me, but yeah man Maiden is the best.
@@jonkerrmusic Adrian is the man. His playing was sorely missed while he wasn't in Maiden. When he came back I was a very happy man.
no Blaze no I.M.
no Blaze no I.M.
Brendon changed my life forever. I was always a maxwell house kind of guy till I heard the dunkin hills jingle and now I don't drink coffee at all. With a song like that who needs coffee
Glad after so many years we are finally getting a finale to the show. I feel like Venture Bros getting cancelled was the final straw for most fans which pushed them to email AS endlessly until something was done about both shows.
I don’t think I’ve heard his speaking voice until today! Crazy to believe this is the same dude who voices Nathan, Skwiskgaar and Pickles😂
Tip of the fedora for your avatar
Have you never seen the show home movies?
@@wishmeluck95 Nahh, but I do love Metalocalypse and Brendon. I’ll have to check it out!
Crazy to me that this is the Home Movies guy! Such a good show!!!!
It’s all I hear when I hear him talk. Just older Brendan.
You Kyrgyz? I love Kyrgyzstan
Thank you!! I just commented "DUDE! ITS DUANE FROM SCÄBB!" and looks like thor von Clemsing! (Another home movies joke- DVD secret) I was soooooo disappointed that no ones said Home Movies. I like it better than Metalacalypse. They're both amazeballs but yea... HM all the way!
So rad you said it!
Skissgaar:”Moms noooooos!”
Closes eyes 4:42
Crazzy to hear deth theme in such a high key..
I've had the privilege of seeing Dethklok 3 times live. I really REALLY hope I get to see them once more.
you survived 3 shows? damn.
love Brendon's stuff. Definitely has the guitarist stare when 'showing' someone a riff or part.
Brendan's guitar journey is almost exactly like mine! Started playing in '88 - same influences. Except of course Brendan is not stuck working at an insurance company these days.
The guy who made Necrophagist quit after 1 album and works as a car salesman, it happens. Being a "rockstar" is only real in Tribute documentaries.
Same. But with nuno b also
"What are those wooden things, chairs?" still gets me every time. I laughed so hard at that I still remember beer shooting out of my nose.
"grampa's guitars"
Simply cannot wait to see what he has in store. Really hope Dethalbum 4 is in the works for this movie.
I will forever regret not getting a Thunderhorse Explorer before they became collectible. They're gorgeous.
Same I love explorers and I love silver burst. The Ghost Horse is awesome.
@Garion Smyser The new EPI ghost horse is a cheap price and available everywhere. The Gibson silver burst Thunderhorse is hard to find cheap and is discontinued
You'll notice Small is playing the Epiphone version here. It's a great design; the guitar a lot of us were asking Gibson for for about 40 damn years.
Of course, in true Gibson genius fashion, they decided to spray it silver burst (cool idea) but used a paint that comes out looking babyshit green (not so cool). I suppose the Gibson excuse is, "Well ummm that's a VINTAGE type silver" lol.
It's not a rip off bro. It's learning and taking it to another level which you have. Bravo!
Man, I'm so glad you exist! I can't ever get tired of listening to Dethalbum I, specially Bloodrocuted. It's so nice that your favorite riffs are those slow and epic ones. It's like that initial riff from Piss - Pantera, so slow but so brutal!
Something about this video is very soothing. He's a fantastic presenter.
That is one heck of a setup he has there!
that epiphone's got my eye xD nice piece
@@ExodusAttacKGR I'm gonna get it eventually. The best part for me is the trem is top mounted so it can't sink down it can (I guess that would be the right way to describe it)
@@jasondickerson2463 Just got mine!
He's so genuine and humble. What a legend.
crazy to think that they ended making the top selling death metal album of all time, it was at the top 10 in the billboard charts when it came out, that's some achievement right there!
Deserved as well
My fave show ever....please, need another series
You know they're making a movie, right?
Is that really happening? I thought it got turned into the special hour long last musical episode.
@@SketchEtcher Adult Swim just announced they're doing Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Venture Bros and Metalocalypse movies.
@@joshuamendoza4745 perfect
I have a part of the dethklok logo tattooed on my arm. This guy has created my favorite show/band ever! So happy to hear there’s more stuff in the works.
3:30 Indeed, the lighter you pick, the faster and easier you can shred!
he is severely underated 🤘🏿.And very inspirational.Watching him makes me want to play more and try this approach.🤘🏿.
Still waiting for another season of Metalocalypse so we can finally see what happens to murderface after he gets poisoned at the end of doomstar requiem. Best. Show. Ever🤘🏻
Same here. I still think it was the cleverest and funniest show ever written, animated or live. I wish they'd bring it back.
Adult swim announced planned movie releases for metalocalypse, venture bros, and aqua teen. So long as they don't get another crazy wild hair up their butts, we should actually get some closure here lol
@@ShawnGamesDrunk holy shit that’s great news! You just made my day
@@willlewis153 my pleasure sir. :)
Brendon thank you for making Metalocalypse and doing everything you do. When I was an angsty kid I loved cartoons and always dreamt of a cartoon about a Metal band and you made that happen. Will always be one of my favorite shows of all time. Seriously thank you.
Prophecy Of The Lazer Witch is one of my all time favourite songs. Incredible creativeness on Brendan's part.
“ I would never play the whole song” ………. Me neither man.. me neither.
Bro I'm the same. I think there's 1 song I ever learned the whole thing for and that's a parkway drive song. Other then that I love learning the badass riffs in songs.
@@Reapersden666 same here. My one song is Snowblind by Sabbath.
Yup. Guilty of that too. Right now I'm learning floods from pantera mostly because I learned the outro solo and it was badass. But usually I just learn riffs and then later the song.
@@jbellflower83 same bro. I just love learning specific riffs and playing them. Plus I have bad memory to the point it's very hard to memorize songs in full
I thought i was the only one who didn't learn whole songs. lol
Go into the Water has phenomenal chord work. Progression is perfect and the use of dissonance makes it so good. The tension/release back and forth makes that one of my favorite tracks on the album. Beyond heavy. I could listen to that track on repeat for days. When you pair it with the animation it's masterful.
The little vibrato sections he adds throughout numerous songs with the whammy gives such a Gilmour vibe.
There's a band called Voivod.
@@_Stroda And they're awesome! Jason's former band. They've got a great sound, too.
The fact that you said that you've never learned a full song is the same for me ! I'm 29, been playing since i'm 16 and i never learned a full song....Just obsessed with riffs all the time, the one's you can actually hear...
Its a damn shame more people dont know Galaktikon, what incredible compositions.
I sure hope we get a Galaktikon 3 some day.
After the final Metallalocapypse movie of course.
Your wish has been granted, sir... the Great Reuniting has come!
Now I went into a Dethklok deepdive for the 802,392,473rd time. Thanks Brendan.
Can't wait for the movie!
I agree Go Into The Water has a Killer! Chord progression. I still go back to thinking about that song even to this day.
same! that melodic riffage is burnt into my head!... live there... die there... 🤟😈
5:35 you're telling me the first song he wrote was the Dethklok theme song? holy shit this guy's a beast
"Face Fisted" and "Murmaider" has to be my favorite songs of Dethklok. I have always admired Brendon.
The whole playing lightly thing is the thing I never really got past. As speed and difficulty increased my muscles would always tighten without even thinking about it.
Cocaine helps
cause good technique is all about efficiency, the type of pick you is a massive part in it too thicker and sharper picks are gonna be louder. that's what I use my Dunlop sharp 1.5mm. usually for shredding cause I like a lot of pick attack, but over the years as I've got better at picking to where I can do Paul Gilbert and Jeff Loomis licks, I had to become efficient so smaller lighter movements. otherwise the James hetfield white fang is the all around best lick. I don't even have calouses anymore cause I don't push the strings any harder than need be. but I play at least an hour a day on a 7 string with 13-80 set of strings in f. which is similar tension to a standard 6 but way bigger strings. it's for that same reason I don't like super low action.
Practice doing a palm muted tremolo as light as possible. It gets easier
That's natural for most people. It takes a lot of practice before you can relax. Learning Ska really helped loosen up my strumming arm and everything kind of followed after that.
Force yourself to play right up over the neck sometimes when you practice. You'll HAVE to pick lighter or you'll be buzzing out the strings all the time, and you'll learn to not rely on just resting your arm on the guitar's body and digging in with your wrist.
6:50 almost megadeths "in my darkest hour"
the emotion this guy has also admirable, they cut it but what a lad to be able to express his feelings
Thank you to all the families out there who have endured repetitive musical exercises with minimal complaint for months/years. Thank you to Brendon for all of your creative endeavors. You have enriched my life and made me want to keep picking up my guitar.
Everyone knows him from Metalopocalypse but noone knows his show home movies, both of his shows and music is amazing, this dudes a badass
He did home movies?
@@SLVGGER-ym9bw The cartoon series home movies yes
I watched home movies growing up. Great show.
Yeah the main character is named after him. One of my favorite shows
He was behind Home Movies?? That’s amazing. I loved that show growing up lol
I think it’s mandatory under guitar law that everyone’s first 2 songs to learn on the guitar must be iron man and smoke on the water.
Don't forget Numb from Linkin Park 🤣
Yep. Smoke on the water, iron man, paranoid, and then you dip into a tiny bit of Metallica only to back off and say fuck all that.
The first song I learned to play was beastblade...
AC/DC
It was opeth for me
God…Sir Brendan, I cannot wait for the next dethklok installment and LITERALLY whatever music you decide to put out moving forward! Please keep rockin bro🤘
Man... We're about the same age and I had almost exactly the same experiences. I can also remember "discovering" power cords. Game changer.
I don't play guitar much anymore, but every time I watch a video with Brendon Small playing, I get the urge to play some Dethklok riffs. Still one of my favorite musicians, and I'm so happy for him that he gets to continue the Metalocalypse story and is still releasing guitars! I missed out on the Thunderhorse Explorer, but definitely plan to pick up a GhostHorse!
"Go Into the Water" is one of my favorite Dethklok tunes for the same reason. Also "Crush the Industry" in standard sounds like it could be off And Justice For All
I've seen this video before only wanted to watch a few minutes of it again and sat through it all again ..................such a fascinating guy.
I'm 38, absolutely love the Galaktikon series and the progressive riffs, it inspired me to get into playing by starting off with a uke.
“Don’t stick marbles in your nose! Put them in there! Do not put them in there!”
Don't kill children, don't run 'em over!
Nice Home Movies reference!
Okay, uh, so... so tell me, at what point did you get the urge to stick marbles, uh, in to your nose?
*whispers* Moooom!
@@vgynylrecords when spikey told me not too
That opening riff to Lazer Witch always gives me chills.
Loved your show man and absolutely loved the music own every album still and look forward to the new movie!
I am watching you for first time and i can state that among the plethora of videos, you are awesome !
To this day, Crush the Industry is my fav music of his. Thank you.
*DO ANYTHING FOR DETHKLOK, DO ANYTHING FOR DETHKLOK*
Doodily ding dong tick tock
*Doodily ding dong tick tock
Brendan, at this moment, while I watch this video, you remind me of every music store guitarist.
Thank you for the beautiful animation over the years.
Hearing one of your heroes say his favorite riffs are the same riffs you love is so cool.. very inspiring. THANKS BRENDON!! You are amazing! 🤘🏼💀🎸
One of my favourite Dethklok riffs is the chorus riff from Symmetry.
I also really love the chorus riff from Go Into The Water.
He always makes sure to show how a song is played and I respect that.
This video changed my life dude thank you so much Brendan 🤘🙌
Always nice to check in with Brendon every once in a while :)
The Ghost Horse is such a badass color. Gibson should do an Explorer with it
They did, limited run of 400.
6:40 - Intended for Fish ONLY
Awesome guy! This was brilliant!
This is so awesome that Brendon small is explaining how he picked up the Guitar I remember watching metalocalypse for the first time back in ‘07 when I was 10 years old I’ve been a fan of his work since that day 🤘🏻
finally they got brendon small on here
No mention of the new Metalocalypse movie?? Can't wait till it comes out. Brendon Small is a metal god \m/
'Go forth and die' is one of my all time favs....such a heavy earworm!!
I saw Dethklok live in Houston back in '09 or '10. I was blown away with the presentation. Animated videos to the songs they played, even little facebones interludes. Great mix of great music and comedy animation.
Brendon Small is no joke on guitar! The dude can write some killer riffs!💪🏻🤘🏻😎
Can write AND crack some good jokes can improvise some good moments. Dude’s just all around talented
Never realized how much he looks like Peyton Manning
*Metal Manning 🤘
Dude lmao
older vids have a strongish Mike Judge look
Your combo on all tings metal, is refreshing, now & almost 20 years ago.
Excellent technique and thanks for sharing your own story of learning, it's inspired me so much!
Disappointed that he didnt play the Duncan Hills Coffee Jingle. Thats a slower one.
Must not have been one of BRENDON’S favourite riffs 🤷🏻♂️
@@shanestephens4728 Thanks Captain Obvious.
@@RobbieFitzgerald
Welcome!! 🤗😂
"Your gonna get some now!!!"
@@casper1995able And scream, for your cream!
I FUCKING LOVE YOU BRENDON! So looking forward to the Metalocalypse movie.
Main thing that is shouldn't be a shit like Mortal Kombat 2021 or Alien: Testament
Thank you, Brendon for your service to us metal heads. The Metal Gods doth shine upon thee
This guy is amazing!!!! I've seen his name everywhere on adult swim but I never seen the face... finally!!!
Thank you
