Solo Walkthrough - Die on the Cross of the Martyr

[Music] [Applause] [Music] I want to show you what I'm doing basically we got guitar get yourself a nice uh High Gain tone going on there so you can get all your squees and like that in there and of course you're going to need a whammy pedal I'm using a DigiTech whammy it's like the wh1 um it's pretty sweet I have it set to go up on octave when you do the thingy [Music] so this one's pretty cool honestly the new one is tight too I have that also but this one's got like that like got that like fued up sound to it when you do it it's pretty sweet [Music] anyway I kind of experimented a little bit with doing it different ways [Music] um like like that on the actual song I go normally I just put but you know honestly just play around with it [Music] so that's the first time you get to use a little whammy pedal it's pretty sweet right all right [Music] so this part f with me all the time I always hit that one on accident but but if you can get up there the next is this is one of those ones that I like to kind of mess around with too uh just play with the notes uh for a while I was doing that by the time I actually recorded it I think I just went I figured that was cool because I like the uh I just feel like that's cool and then this one too I love those uh same note things so after that another whammy this one's kind of tricky because you [Music] go your pointer finger is on 13 and then on the G string you go middle finger so you kind of like kind of jump down and then of course whammy but once you get there next [Applause] is whole time this shit's activated the foot is [Music] down activated bring it back down to neutral position [Music] this part is awesome I love this I like to do the whole thing where you kind of like you kind of just don't do that so you slide up to it right so you're G to go up to what is it uh 17 yeah 12 15 17 yeah I always said count that [Music] so this next part is uh I guess it's all tricky I don't want to say that every single part is tricky but it [Music] is all right pay attention here because this is where the whammy pedal starts to get a little uh wacky um with placement and I just do it for two notes and that's it and they're quick it's it's kind of just like a little like a little pump right into it you [Music] know catch [Music] that otherwise it would just sound [Music] like but instead I go is that fing tight I don't know I think that was cool during this part the notes like the Melody I guess kind of like Trails off and then this note is where it uh resolves back to where the song is going I love doing that especially for this song I felt like it worked to kind of go off the rails a little bit um so I did I want to show you this little lick [Music] too this is cool because the motion is just like if you're looking at the fingers you're just using these fingers it's just like one three well I guess four if the pinky is if this is one 2 3 4 then the pinky is four we'll do that so 1 4 3 1 4 3 1 4 3 3 1 4 31 that's like the motion but the tricky part again you guessed it It's Tricky is string placement uh when I tracked it I played it kind of wrong because my finger hit both of those notes during the tracking and I was like dude that's actually kind of cool because you don't you can hear less where it's supposed to go so you can kind of mess around with that too I kind of have this like selective picking uh on this part uh I'm picking it like pick Hammer Hammer ah pick pick pick pick pick and then upstroke there to kind of finish it off so do I where do I pick it yeah that's right and then anyway wait what finger do I land on uh the ring finger so here's cool you flip up this bad boy now we're in the neck position no more around oh yeah I almost forgot uh [Music] whammy kind of like you know whammy here whammy here it's just double whammy [Music] so neck position while you're coming back up to neutral on the whammy pedal the whammy petal is almost like it has its own note [Applause] so not activated [Applause] activated I mean it just sounds like it sounds silly you know what I mean it's like ridiculous in a way but that's what I was going for there this next part I'm doing one finger with this activated just for this little section at the end here you're picking uh the the upbeat you know what I mean you hit this thing you kind of like you know just smack it and it'll flutter if you have one of these bad boys that [Applause] [Music] [Applause] is and then just like the other part I kind of go off the rails with the melody and the note Choice and then this note kind of brings it [Applause] back uh this part's weird just watch my [Applause] [Music] foot deactivated activated this is where the whammy gets really wacky watch the foot and the hands cuz this requires true coordination of the two all right check this out [Applause] [Music] [Applause] I think this is the most challenging part of the whole solo just because of the foot I mean the actual part itself isn't fundamentally difficult but when you throw in the foot pedal it's like okay now I have to get the muscle memory down for that like I can't do this without the foot pedal it just doesn't and even if I hear it like I'm doing the Motions with the foot but I have this off not hearing it screws me up it's very very weird I'll do it [Music] again I'm just going to go through the activated versus not activated not activated activated the first two notes no yes hang [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] on oh no I'm lost all right hang [Applause] [Music] on damn dude I mean you see what I'm saying saying here so [Music] [Music] recap [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] and that's the solo baby I hope that was helpful shout out to the uh and unprocessed for having me on the song too that was a lot of fun doing this was one of the most fun solos I think I've ever written um I'm going to shut theu up [Music] [Applause] now
