Yes, I too discovered Keith from the SD PU shootout, but let's forget about that. Like any musician, he takes the work and opportunities that he can regardless of what PU's are loaded in his personal axe. What I love about this tune in particular is that regardless of how technical his playing may be, it still grooves. To me that's what separates Keith from any other shredder.
I'm totally blown away. Much love from Cincinnati Ohio. But I dont see government lines I see people as a whole on a planet. I just wanted you to know where the next million views came from. ME
I feel like you and I have the same taste in drumming. I tend to like when the drums don't play to the guitar, but Keith isn't a drummer, and this is a very guitar-centric project (intentionally so). I respect it and can still really get into it, even if I hear parts where I would have written the drums differently. (This is coming from someone who's admittedly not a drummer, but programs drums for most of his music).
yeah, he's probably using a 7 string tuned a half step down. His other version of this song (which sounds better, at least the guitar tone does) is tuned a half step up from a drop A tuning; Drop A#.
This is the original version of the song done on The Arrival. When he redid it on Retrospecial, he added them. You can also tell the difference in tone between the two tracks. This track obviously has active pickups and the track on Retrospecial obviously has passives.
+terence cunningham apparently there have been a couple versions played in different tunings, but the best sound i've come up with so far is in Drop A# (7 string drop A tuned 1/2 step up).
("Less straightforward" is an horrible way to say it, sorry ; the drum part is actually really cool. Do not pay attention, I'm just in the middle of a Gartska personal fad. Great work.)

The main riff is one of the best riffs I've heard.
YES, I remember searching this when I heard it in a S. Duncan pickups comparison by Merrow... Badass
same
+Andrei Neacsu Awesome profile pic mate, Ne Obliviscaris is great!
i love them
nazgul
I will master this song one day, Mr. Merrow. You are a god. And I aspire to be like you.
have you mastered it already? its been 2 years and a half.
Yes i have, thanks for asking
Video or it did not happen!
Masta video or you didn't happen...
You guys are saying that as if the song was hard to play lol
Because of Keith Merrow I bought a Seymour Duncan Dimebucker and a Schecter DEMON 7 FR.
And of course his albums too.
A true guitar master

what a ridiculously bad ass song. Wow. Incredibly good.
Discovered Keith with this song, became a diehard fan for his album with Wes
I started playing guitar last week and this is the first song I learned to play.
listening to this while high, and watching winamp visualisation or some cool outer space video... priceless... :3
Keith GOOD SONG.........From CHILE
riff of the last decade.. simply beautiful
I just found this. Looks like this weeks gonna be a good week.
When it says no description available, it really means there are no words that can possibly describe this.
3:07 is where it's at. THAT I can't help but grin and nod to
I'm totally blown away. Much love from Cincinnati Ohio. But I dont see government lines I see people as a whole on a planet. I just wanted you to know where the next million views came from. ME
Try not to nod your head at 0:31 and 2:29. You can't. It's impossible.
I tried to resist but I coudn't do it.
The bit before it gets me more than that.
i can
for 0.3 seconds
i can but if i do my leg goes wild
Me and my kids were bobbing our heads
2021 and this is still Greeeeeaaaaat!
Still love the creativity of this song!
You are here because you were shopping for a Seymour Duncan pickup.
and he doesnt even used invaders!
On youtube?
Yes for a NAZGUL
Bless you I thought I was having the biggest Deju Vu trip of my life
nope, because I searched for it
Some of the best I've ever heard
dude that main riff is just too good!
I would like to hear someone put some singing with this. That's one kick ass riff.
This is simply amazing. There should be at least two million views on this. :D
whats the difference between this song and Pillars of Creation ? i know its from 2 separate albums, is it just remastered ?
i found tabs!!!! whoo hoo!!! now to practice for the next decade......
This gives me goose bumps....
absolutely amazing! i love the breakdown in the end. i keep repeating that part lol
The image is from the movie "Blade Runner" don't it?
Ohhhh. So good.

you just gotta love the opening XD
The arrival, to a video 11 years after it was published...
I think this song is in drop A# which is kind off a funny tuning for a seven string because the higher six strings are tuned to F standard.
alot of sykth influence. is this sykth?
Sometimes I feel like this tune is needed
When i heard the 16-bit intro . . i knew shit was gonna go down :P
thumbs up for the minute of awsome breakdown
degu da tha ne degu da tha ne is all thats going through my head right now
Any idea what tuning this is? it's like it may be standard.....all notes dropped 5 1/2 steps...lowest being Bb?
yeah, he's probably using a 7 string tuned a half step down. His other version of this song (which sounds better, at least the guitar tone does) is tuned a half step up from a drop A tuning; Drop A#.
sigmartheczar Really? Never heard of tuning a lower registered guitar up LOL. There is another version??
go on songsterr :)
sigmartheczar half step higher from standard 7 string is C not Ab
No... No it isn't
Wow. First time I've ever heard this and........ well whoever this is poops rainbow sherbet flavored talent..... mmmmmm.
I wish his new stuff was like this
@Zatyx I'm praying to God that it'll never get a thumbs down... What am I saying; I'm gonna pray to Keith Merrow, since he's better than God.
This is the original version of the song done on The Arrival. When he redid it on Retrospecial, he added them. You can also tell the difference in tone between the two tracks. This track obviously has active pickups and the track on Retrospecial obviously has passives.
I am here because I was watching Ola's Chinese V-Log
Keith Merrow is a badass. I hope I can riff like this someday.
superb!
@conspirania wonderful conceptualization
You sir.. created a pillar in my pants.
Nice...Thank You for the information.
Hermosura de metal
Awesome track - no doubt. now WTF does \w/ mean?
Danthehorse metal horns 🤘

This kicks ass so fucking hard.
Learning this i think you became better guitar player.
Sick
3:05 in the words of the great Samuel L. Jackson in Jarassic Park "Hold on to your butts."
I´m "Thumbs Up" number 100 yeah :D

5 star rated
I concur...\m/
What tuning is this in?
+terence cunningham apparently there have been a couple versions played in different tunings, but the best sound i've come up with so far is in Drop A# (7 string drop A tuned 1/2 step up).
OK. Thanks!
+dysti Yeah, it's Drop A#, as i think are most of Merrow's songs
+terence cunningham Ehh, depends. He records on 7 string guitars
I really sensitive to sound it sounded like a# I was right lol
it looks like the horn sign that a lot of metal fans do with their hands
@tyblair18 I lol'd so fucking hard. Good 'ole Drewsif.
fuck this is EPIC
There's a click at 0:00
I wish I could hear Matt Garstka's take on this. Some kind of less straightforward drumming at least. Love it as it is, nevertheless.
("Less straightforward" is an horrible way to say it, sorry ; the drum part is actually really cool. Do not pay attention, I'm just in the middle of a Gartska personal fad. Great work.)
who is here after hearing Ola play this?
You're probably meant to focus more on the guitar work than the drums though
still not smoke on the water...
2:42 - 2:44 ... No Harmonics?
The 1st 1:30 minutes are a kick in the balls
you know, i´m drunk as well dude but my girlfriend just left me so i thought, you know i just thought like.... yeah this song is fucking epic oO
I want tabs for this >.<
You are here because of the Great Guitar Gear Boom of 2020
Lol, shows how outta touch i am! cheers mate.
