Watching Alexi instructional vids just to help remind myself what the world lost on the 29th of Dec 2020. Alexi, we miss you everyday brother. You'll never die, because you'll always be remembered for your legacy. Your fans will make sure of it.

a video that made me a guitar player, without this i dont really know if i would be playing today. alexi laiho was a guitar god, rest in peace legend your songs are unforgotten
Dude I just read this and I’m truly heart broken. I used to be an R&B kid back in the late 2000’s but when I first saw “trashed, lost and strung out” music video. I converted to listening to metal thanks to Alexi and his hatecrew band. My first guitar was a Flying V. This was my Randy Rhoads. RIP Alexi Laiho.
Children of Bodom and Alexi were so good every time I saw them. One time a bunch of his fingers had bandages and he said it was from touring, still played killer that night.
I keep seeing Alexi and Skwisgaar comments comparing the two...for anyone curious and wasnt a fan of the show or know much of Dethklok... Al the band members in the show were modeled after actual metal players...and yes Skwisgaar was modeled after Alexi. This is truth...im no elitist but since i was and a kid and watching the very first episode its because of that band im even into metal and know of bodom and i remember brendan in some old fucking interview or live Q&A mentioning tht they were indeed modeled after these guitarists. from then on i found out about bodom , corpse, and whatever other bands he mentioning the others are modeled after. this is just for anyone who wasnt a fan of the show, too young to really see the old clips of brendan and such, or thinking it but not knowing for sure. Youre welcome i guess.
@@joeythomas9062 He said that CIS fans will always remember Alexi, and he is alive in their hearts. It is very nice of you to respond to this comment without even literally taking its meaning. Music really brings people together!
It’s like that episode of Metalocalypse when Skwisgaar and Toki are learning to play blues guitar and the guy is telling them to slow down and they CAN’T until he ties cinder blocks to their hands.
Thanks Alexi hugely influential and generous with his knowledge. To the 'haters' all my favourite musicians are hugely controversial : Zaak, Joey Jordison, Malmsteen etc... A badge of honour
Oh yeah gonna buy one of your pick ups and we’re getting in I work at old school LTD yeah I’d love a flying V like that or A Jackson to add to my collection haven’t done it yet just cause of Dollars you know how it is only the best thanks for the lesson
I’d say it’s the very opposite. There’s a lot more that one can do with a well-developed left hand and a rudimentary right hand technique than vice versa.
@@ScottyPee21 of course it is, kezo is right, right hand is much more difficult to develop and much more important. The same look on fingerpicking style, even tho in classic music left hand has a lot of to do, right hand is still so hard to master. Perfectly synchronized hands are really important to maintain the sustain of the sound and its clearance.
Don't you like his playing also? :) It should be hard enough to listen to this if you don't, even if he looks pretty in this video. ;) Or he is actually pretty, you know, excuse me)
"Basically little unusual" is new term for "complicated as fuck" nowdays 😂 Anyways when he tries to explain whammy bar tricks and says "let's see what we got" - I can literally see him opeining his imaginary bag full of whammy bar tricks and pulling random one out like a magician pulls rabbit out of the hat 😂
Alexi Laiho is probably my favorite, & most influenced by guitarist, but he waas NOT born to teach guitar lmao. he is a more naturally gifted player with English as a second language.
He's more demonstrating than teaching. If you want to get teacher go see Andy James. Do you want to watch the master demonstrate his writing watch Alexi
Just came back here to pay tribute to Alexi. Rock in paradise, legend. You're going to be sorely missed. 🤘😢
He hath surely met the Impaled Nazarene face to face.
Thanks brother! To me you are the Randy Rhoads of our generation! RIP legend!
I see him exactly same way. Obviously he wasnt a saint but in similar manner he pushed guitar forward
this is what i keep telling everyone!!!!
If there were a trophy involved for the "Coolest" metal guitarist ever, Alexi should have it.
As long as I really admire Alexi I think that Dimebag was "the coolest" guitarist
@@glazer850 Alexi was the Finnish version of Dime
@@glazer850 dimebag is the "most baddass" and alexi is the "coolest"
RIP Alexi Laiho, you will be missed thanks for everything
Rest in peace best guitarist in this century

Such a unique guitar tone🤍🖤
Alexi is the only muscian that can make upstrokes sound sooo HEAVY...
R.I.P you legend... We miss you
Pual Gilbert entered the chat lol seriously though he'll be missed.
Alexi and Dimebag taught me to utilize upstrokes
That combination of talent, creativity, and technicality is just absolutely insane
Rest in peace Alexi, your guitar playing and songwriting in sinergy and children of bodom changed my life.
One of my favorite all time guitar players !! So unique, loved his style..

So talented, so humble, miss him so much.
Damn he could play his ass off. RIP Alexi.

Such an amazing player.
RiP legend never die 😭!
Fly high man!!
RIP legend
He absolutely shreds it up and always did ❤️
Alexi laiho Thank you so much. It was always my inspiration.
R.I.P Alexi 😔Sleep well... ESP Pinky-superb!!!!
Watching in tribute and respect of this cat passing away. May he rest in peace.
See all of this classes and clinics vids hurts a lot 😖
Спасибо, Алекси за то, что ты был и есть в наших жизнях.
I’m glad you’re still around man I thought we might’ve lost a legend lucky you still got you
Those are some really cool techniques! Thank you for uploading this!
He blended so many techniques into a style. Two guitarists in one. Why the fuk did he have to self destruct? So inspirational, gone too soon.
"So it sounds like a vacuum cleaner." Fuck, I love you, Alexi. 😂
Thanks for reminding me I suck. Thanks Alexi I appreciate it.
Thanks for That really & cheers from The Finland 🤘 still rocking now and Forever to eternity and Legendary clips👊
Люди,которые оставляют след в наших сердцах.Они живут в нас .(плачу и утираю слёзы)

that riff from transference is awesome! There's something about those chromatic/tritone sequences that makes me say WOW!
all twisted slowed down sounds cool.
Enjoyed your Live Show at the Wiltern Alexi. ROCK IN PEACE. 🎸🎶

Miss Alexi!
I love it how you can actually tell he's struggling going slow.....
It’s like that episode of Metalocalypse when Skwisgaar and Toki are learning to play blues guitar and the guy is telling them to slow down and they CAN’T until he ties cinder blocks to their hands.
Tq laiho... It took me 7 years to learn it...
Thanks heaps again helped us out heaps Got all that be watching to review how is perfect understand exactly I’ll be watching need the practice thanks
Going to grab one of your pick ups man it’s a must have I’ll probably end up with quite a few of them
Gawd damnit. RIP 😪
Awesome!
descanse em paz no mundo das guitarras, Mestre ; (

No words to describe this!
Алексей Лайхо конечно невероятно крут!!!
R.I.P my dude.

Damn I really want that guitar! That and greeny.. rip Alexi 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I miss you man. Rest in peace
phenomenal, rip
That transference riff is one of the best metal riffs in metal history…and he had a shit ton of em
Alexis best years was when he was playing with Sinergy, and the first three COB albums.
He is still there.. DIOS EXISTE!😎😩😭
The arpeggio he did with his middle finger instead sounds like tornado of souls also he looks like he would fit in a glam band
Check out "The Local Band", you may be surprised))

1:23 from what track is this riff, tell me
The song is all twisted
I don't even play the guitar but fk it imma watch this fr hrsss
I love the ending CIAO
Kinda reminds me of Skwisgaar
WTF...?!?
LOL, when Alexi comes and say "HEY SKWISGAAR, I AMS PRETTY GOOD AT SWEEP ARPEGGIO, CHECKS IT OUT. (11:01) HEY I'M GOOD".
@@stam1ska lol'd
Mermaid Man Skwisgaar is Swedish, Alexi is Finnish but yeah, the accent is very similar.
SKwisgaar is based mainly by Alexi you know :D
REST IN POWER MASTER
i was thinking of the scorpians while listening to this for some reason
why is he always so tense?
Yes, I agree with it , he needs to show that is a bad boy from finland!!!, for more videos like this one, please subscribe at the channel, tks!!!
alcohol withdrawal
@@Soda88 all these comments about alcohol it seems like he was alcoholic rip.
Forget the left hand, until you master the right, as the left should always follow what the right hand is doing!
Thanks by comments and for more videos help me and subcribe at thsi channel!!! cheers!!
I’d say it’s the very opposite. There’s a lot more that one can do with a well-developed left hand and a rudimentary right hand technique than vice versa.
I'd say the opposite too, hammer ons and pull offs for example. The left isn't following the right is it
@@ScottyPee21 of course it is, kezo is right, right hand is much more difficult to develop and much more important. The same look on fingerpicking style, even tho in classic music left hand has a lot of to do, right hand is still so hard to master.

For a left handed guitarist that is a stupid advice.
Will you please teach us how to play sk8er boi? It's all of our favorite song!!!
wish i could like this more than once
Am I the only one, who doesn't watch it because of guitar playing, but just because he's pretty?
Don't you like his playing also? :) It should be hard enough to listen to this if you don't, even if he looks pretty in this video. ;) Or he is actually pretty, you know, excuse me)
This is the closest we got of him playing All Twisted live :(
6:46 only alexi can make a guitar sound like a vacuum cleaner
That ain't true.
R.I.P THE Shred King. 💜🥀
I love that riff in the beginning what song is that??
transference.. its in the middle of the song
omg his rhythm technique was out of this wortd! 😲😲😲😲😲
Where can I find the tabs for this?
"Basically little unusual" is new term for "complicated as fuck" nowdays 😂
Anyways when he tries to explain whammy bar tricks and says "let's see what we got" - I can literally see him opeining his imaginary bag full of whammy bar tricks and pulling random one out like a magician pulls rabbit out of the hat 😂
Ups, sorry about that!
What you do, you do only downstrokes, like this....and then, that will be an upstroke. :D
He was awesome. :)
Alexi Laiho is probably my favorite, & most influenced by guitarist, but he waas NOT born to teach guitar lmao. he is a more naturally gifted player with English as a second language.
Thanks by comments and for more videos like this one, please subscribe at my channel!!!
He's not a bad at teaching, you just gotta be an already somewhat experienced player to really follow along.
"Naturally gifted" you mean: "he put the effort in."
He's more demonstrating than teaching. If you want to get teacher go see Andy James. Do you want to watch the master demonstrate his writing watch Alexi
His "English" is very good, JMO.
1:35 ist sounds like every ghost song ;P
That is not a bad thing
The riff 2:00 sounded way better slower than original \m/
It’s crazy
1:35 damn. Now I want a slow version of all twisted lmao
Signature nice
Excellent!
