Always cool the see Accept and Wolf being mentioned. I'm so proud they come from my hometown of Solingen. We play Heavy Metal and forge Steel Blades here! =P
Thanks for this hidden gem, Max! Wolf Hoffmann’s channel looks pretty cool! Locating artists sharing their riffs and techniques on TH-cam is a great idea.
Brian Tatler's channel, Diamond Head Official. There's 40 or 50K, so a little more popular, but same idea, great channel where he shows riffs and does song play throughs.
Thank you, Max. Wolf is an absolute giant, as far as I'm concerned. And you're right. I guess it never occurs to viewers that the original musicians themselves would even have a channel where they actually offer tips and instructions on how to play ANYTHING, let alone their own great music. You'd think they were so busy just doing other things. So this is an eye-opener for me, and I'm sure many others. You have an amazing channel yourself and you're a great guy for doing this. God bless and thanks again!
saw Accept last year at the Regency in SF, they put on a fantastic show, been listening to Accept since the 80es. Thanks for the tip, def gonna sub to his channel!
Hi Max . I want to say I truly appreciate all the time and effort that you put in to create your Videos to educate all of us regarding new Gear and everything else that you help us with . I'd love to see a Video of your personal Rig and your Guitars that you use most in the Studio and on the Road . And I'd also love to see a Video of you showing us your Pedal Board if possible . Your Channel really makes a big difference in my moods on some of my worse days , so you really don't know how much you help me . I hope you're doing well Max , and staying safe . 😃🎸😃
Yes, this is real sad, TH-cam's algorithm seems to be very bias, there's a LOT of channels getting shadow band, I've had this happen to me, I stream all my live gigs so that you can not only see how gigging really is as it's happening, but also do that you can see just how well cheaper gear can really hold up, especially down here in SW Florida where 99% of the gigs are outdoors, you would think that also be interesting for those seeking info on that, but if you're a 15yr old girl who can play pretty ok but is showing a lot of skin, they get tip priority, real sad!!! That's why a LOT of people left YT for other plat forms. Great video MAX!!! Rock On & God Bless.
I was excited when Wolf started posting but he just doesn't post enough. I know he's busy but we're talking less than 2 minute videos showing the right way to play his riffs. Hopefully he'll post more.
The guy I wish was still alive and would absolutely have a TH-cam channel to teach his riffs would be Dime Bag. He was doing some of this stuff way before TH-cam. Such a tragedy. RIP D&V!
Not a metal guy, but Joe Robinson does that, and his channel has 165,000 subscribers currently. His stuff is more acoustic virtuoso style a la Tommy Emmanuel.
@GuitarMAXMusic *Aye Sir!* Hey Max 😎✌🏻 First of all, *thanks a lot for sharing this "Gem" like you called it (I definitely can a 100% only agree in this case^^) with us.* 02:10 ...you *'don´t understand...' why his Channel & Content is so unknown or and barely subscribed...?* Sorry of course idk the circumstances for you and *YOUR OWN Channel* so I also *don´t know if You manage work on/ with it as a Creator alone and all by yourself of if you got a small team maybe or at least someone who works with you on the Content Creation/ Upload-Process or not, right?^^* But *either way,* for you as someone to not able *instantly connect the "Dots"* for that matter, I am really surprised now to be honest haha 😅 *Almost a Decade + also soon at 800 Videos Uploaded... I´m a little bit baffled and speechless I guess...* 🤣 In terms of... - ...how often/ regularly you upload new content & how consistent your uploads are etc. - ...how much you advertise/ promote/ share etc. your content on ALL important or to be more precise, all social media platforms which are possibly relevant for your future viewers/ community - ...how "professional / high end" your content is made in terms of quality and entertainment it has ...in those areas (and please correct me if I´m wrong!), TH-cam and it´s algorithm hasn´t changed much in the last 5-6+ Years, as far as *I´m understanding and learned by being a TH-camr/ content creator myself now since November 2023 from the experiences and knowledge etc. I gained so far.* Of Course I guess, when He´s RIGHT NOW (haven´t looked it up yet), still a Active & touring musician or has other important things going on in his daily Life and therefore he´s too busy to organize and manage this stuff, then it´s (at least I think thats just normal and common sense, right?), then it is only natural that his channel had *SO FAR...* barely any activity, subs, views etc. From my own experiences I know that nowadays it´s - when you want all that activity, views and somewhere on the way also a bit earnings so you could support yourself in life financially a bit more, then it´s become almost a semi-profession you have to LEARN first, which also can´t be done in just a few weeks, if your goal is to seriously earn something with that, right? Anyway - *because of YOU & Your Video sharing this with us* - his channel already got almost +200 Subscribers as I´m writing this comment right now haha xD So you and the community of course, is *growing the attention for his TH-cam Channel from now on quite I lot I guess^^* And just a personal side note, as a Guitarist myself too: *I always look/ search for those kind of channels and there are too many which are way to underrated or unknown, if you take their contents & videos as it´s Value. In my personal opinion I believe that there are TOO MANY options today in 2025 on youtube, so a lot of channels and good content will only be found if you dig it out for yourself by researching long enough. That´s my guess/ impression in this case^^* Thanks as always for sharing your knowledge and everything! I really respect & appreciate it a lot! I hope everyone will have great Day/ rest of the Weekend. Aye! ~ *Det* 🤟🏻😤🎸
Greetings Max, kudos to you for 'exposing' this to us all. My band, Misery, est. in 1991, extensively toured. Is not what you're asking for in this shout out. However, it might be worth mentioning a 'similarity'. My channel of 11+ years .. is still only struggling along with very few subs. You'll find PLENTY of videos with HARDLY any views on my channel. Whereas, a one off high school 'talent' show video of some kids doing a METALLICA cover, gets a million views. Considering I have 90 videos of mostly, nothing but LIVE Metallica performances by my tribute act ... Go figger? Cheers, MiG
Thanks for the tip, Max…Wolf definitely deserves more exposure.
Accept got me through puberty and I still blast them now at 54. Wolf is a legend.
Wolf has some amazing chops and riffs. Loved his stuff since early 80's.
Wolf Hoffmann is amazing. I've seen Accept live three times. He slays, seriously.
Diamond Head's guitarist has a video teaching the real way to play Am I Evil on their channel. Good stuff
Always cool the see Accept and Wolf being mentioned. I'm so proud they come from my hometown of Solingen. We play Heavy Metal and forge Steel Blades here! =P
Thanks for this hidden gem, Max! Wolf Hoffmann’s channel looks pretty cool! Locating artists sharing their riffs and techniques on TH-cam is a great idea.
One of my favourite guitar players. Hes so unreal
Subscribed, I love Accept, saw them warm up for Kiss back during the Balls to the wall, Lick it up tour. Poughkeepsie, NY.
Im one of the few that is the subscribers. Thanks for blasting it out to get him more exposure
Thanks Max

Thank you so much for the kind words! I appreciate it.
Thanks Max! I'm actually annoyed with myself I didn't know he had a YT channel.
I’ve always thought that Wolf Hoffman is in the top five guitarist of all time!!
saw Accept last year at the Regency in SF, they put on a fantastic show, been listening to Accept since the 80es. Thanks for the tip, def gonna sub to his channel!
Good man, Max 🫡
I subscribed to his channel already thanks Max.👍
subbed!

Sick, thanks!
Thanx.. 🤘😁
Princes of the dawn was always my favorite from accept
AHA! damn nice one Max, subbed over there, I had no fucking idea!
The Wolf Marshall Method was the total immersion Bible of the late ‘80’s. Herr Hoffman’s got a hot crash course.
I was excited when Wolf started posting but he just doesn't post enough. I know he's busy but we're talking less than 2 minute videos showing the right way to play his riffs. Hopefully he'll post more.
Check out Dean lamb from archspire. His videos playing guitar with his wife are hilarious.
YMMV on finding them either hilarious or grating.
Hopefully it catches on because most people teach other bands songs wrong
The guy I wish was still alive and would absolutely have a TH-cam channel to teach his riffs would be Dime Bag. He was doing some of this stuff way before TH-cam. Such a tragedy. RIP D&V!
Such a metal intro 🤘
❤🤘🎸
I thought this was going to be a video highlighting my channel 🤣. Just subbed
Randall Smith has a channel talking about the history of Mesa Boogie.
Wolf is awesome, but he hasn't uploaded for a year. He put up like 15 vids and then abandoned it. Sad, maybe if it gets some action he'll come back.
Yea man back n the day it was accept and riot and y@t and great white they were bein in deck
Accept every song never failed the torch held
I would love an Eric Johnson channel or Yngwie.
Looks like no uploads for over a year
Thanks for the information. I’m going to sub and get my grandson to sub.
Not a metal guy, but Joe Robinson does that, and his channel has 165,000 subscribers currently. His stuff is more acoustic virtuoso style a la Tommy Emmanuel.
He only has 13 videos

In terms of...
- ...how often/ regularly you upload new content & how consistent your uploads are etc.
- ...how much you advertise/ promote/ share etc. your content on ALL important or to be more precise, all social media platforms which are possibly relevant for your future viewers/ community
- ...how "professional / high end" your content is made in terms of quality and entertainment it has
...in those areas (and please correct me if I´m wrong!), TH-cam and it´s algorithm hasn´t changed much in the last 5-6+ Years, as far as *I´m understanding and learned by being a TH-camr/ content creator myself now since November 2023 from the experiences and knowledge etc. I gained so far.*

Taken down?
It's back now...I love Wolf! Accept is awesome.
What is happening is the channel😅surfers are not tagging their videos
When the worlds bull shit gets too much I plug in my cheap guitar and play
As you command. It is done. JK, but I did subscribe.
Greetings Max, kudos to you for 'exposing' this to us all.

The guitarist Robby krieger of the doors doesn’t have many subscribers
A lot of musicians I played with will say that playing heavy metal is for kids
It is for kids. Heavy Metal is for everyone.
NAMM JAM?
That be funny if he got copywrite on his own music. That would suck. Accept was a awesome band..
th-cam.com/video/X47LeO-r-sw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=OTYVmsFbAV6sRW3a
Wolf>>>you
Wolf has been awesome for so long but he seems to surface every now and then and then just disappear for a while again and again
first?
You got it!
@@GuitarMAXMusicah hell yeah #goldmedal
He has not uploaded anything in over a year... pass
He hasn't posted a video in over a year.
