What's up everyone? And welcome to Ola Learns Some Sh**
This is the second video, I did one with Gojira Stranded
And a lot of you guys enjoyed that
So this will definitely be something I will continue
Now, you can request what song I should be learning next
And today I'm trying to learn
Lamb of God - Walk With Me In Hell
Requested by a lot of people in my previous video
Obviously I've heard the song before, I haven't played it
I haven't tried to play it before
The point with this video series is that I just try and learn the song as I go
And then maybe you'll see how I try to hear what's being played
And you know, kinda figure out what they were playing
The way that I'm playing it in this video right here
Might not necessarily be the way that the guys in Lamb of God played the thing
But that's the thing about me
I'm very much into trying to listen to what they play
Other than, you know, going after tabs and whatnot
Let's head into it
This is Walk With Me In Hell in Logic right here
Let's listen
I think this is the opener of their album, and...
It is a really...
Sick-ass lick, you know?
And for this video, I have a little trick up my sleeve, I'm gonna show you why
Look at this, I have this in Logic, right?
Good thing about Logic
is that you can slow things down
Check this out
Or speed things up if you want
But check this out, I set it like this
16% slower
30% slower
Now you might be asking... how will this help me? Well...
If I can slow down the music
It will be easier for me to hear what's being played
throughout some of the fast parts in the song
So I'm gonna... you're gonna see, let's just start
The guitar tuning is standard E with a dropped D, ok? So we have...
And it's pretty common for most Lamb of God songs to have this tuning
Let's just start by slowing it down a little bit and let's listen to what it is
Sorry
It's a little tricky
Doesn't make sense
That's definitely playing on my brain strings
One, two, three, four, five, six
One, two, three, one
Dude, that's weird, man, holy shit
Ah...
Ah... ah...
Ah...
Oh shit
F***, ok
Oof... shit
Damn man, th-that's...
That's not easy, man, for my brain at least
Ok
Ok, we got this
Oh... oh... oh...
Ah-ah-ah-ah what was it?
Oh...
Ah...
Ok
Shit
Oh my god
This is like the equivalent of a tongue twister, except it's for guitar, just saying
I mean, if you're practicing this, I would advise going very very slow on this
Just go over and over
Shit man, ok, up to speed
Ok, that's all my brain can handle, man
Ok, let's just go to the next riff
Reminds me of Dream Theater by the way
Ok
A lot easier than the first riff at least, ok
Ok, verse
Bam
Ok
Ok, so same variant as before the verse
Oh it's not the same, oh my god
It's similar
Ok, ok, ok, it's a little bit different
Oof... ok, well, let's go
Another f***ing lick, oh my god
There's so many licks
Ok
I'm exhausted already, shit
And we're just like 1/4 through the song
Am I allowed to take a break?
Fuck man
F*** me man
This is not an easy song at all
Breakdown
Oh my god
How am I supposed to remember all of this?
Ok
Very Slayer, man
Duh-duh
Oh my god, it's...
Yeah, it's not the same every time
You know, they're not making it easy on me, just saying
This series was a terrible idea, just saying
Ok, shit
I'm still also at 10% slower
I'm gonna play this up to speed later, how's that gonna go?
Ok
That's...
All of these are perfectly messing with my brain right here, just saying
Th-there's a solo too
What is that?
Let's go slower
Ok, ok, ok
Ok
It's mainly pentatonic licks
But he changed it up from there, he was playing...
There on this part he goes...
Harmonic minor
So...
I'm not gonna be able to memorize all of this
Ok, ok
Ok, ok, ok
This solo is mainly...
Just pentatonic licks
I'm never gonna be able to memorize this, just...
During this session, I have to listen to this more and more to be able to play
It's a really good solo, it's probably improvised at the spot when they recorded it
So...
It has a couple of really weird twists and whatnot, but...
I'm gonna try and play it anyways
You know, at least I know which scale it is
Ok, maybe I can finish this at least
For... especially for a place like this
I can go even minus 50 and listen to what he's doing
Ok, so...
I think actually that was pretty close to that lick
Ok, yeah
So I have that part down at least
Let's check out the end of the song
I mean, it's...
There's just a lot of picking in this song, man
You're picking all the fuckin' time
I'm not getting any type of rest
This song is really f***ing cool
But there is also way too much that you need to remember
Uh... at least if you're gonna learn it quick
I think the only problem I will have by playing this song is probably...
You know, being tired and exhausted in my right hand, that's what I think
Alright, let's play it up to speed uh...
Ok...
Uh...
Mmh
Oh
Oh...
Arm
Arm...
Ah...
Ooh
Time to rest
Aah
Oh my fucking lord, man
That, my friends, is what you call a proper workout, holy shit
You know, maybe Lamb of God sounds very straight-forward and easy-going for metal
But they have some really tricky fucking songs, man, just saying
Holy shit
I think my problem with this song is that I have to...
Even though I've heard this song before, I have to memorize basically every part...
And every small little piece of gallop, you know...
When to gallop and when only to do...
Uh... downstrokes, it's...
That's my problem with this song, it's just the memory, man
Like...
Sometimes it's...
And sometimes it's...
So, it's...
There's a couple of different parts there where it kinda flows a little bit together
Uh... for me at least
And yeah, and the solo obviously I'm just going a little up and down uh...
But I'm trying to be as close as possible
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this little video
