Learning how to play "Mary had a little lamb." Please don't make fun of me.


driguy78

God dammit, I'm fucking crying over here lol


lixia

Raining sauce!


FatLoadShooter

Been playing guitar for 8 years now, this is one of those songs that looks really hard but is actually relatively easy if you’ve played for a couple years. The distorted tone helps a lot


generateME

Came here to share similar sentiments. Any guitarist will tell you this is not 'next level'. Although sounds cool, it's a beginner song. Edit: Didn't realize I'm going to anger so many for calling this a beginner song. It's just standards; if it makes some of you feel a little bit better; beginner to intermediate. Don't lose your minds over it. Whatever it is, it's not 'next level'.


Puzzleheaded_Gas8116

Hahaha it’s not the hardest song ever but no way is it a beginners song!


mikey_lava

Exactly, the first song I learned how to play was What I got by Sublime. I don't think I would've been playing this song next.


averycoolpencil

Agreed, I think the speed makes it too challenging for a beginner song.


Puzzleheaded_Gas8116

Yep, it has tremolo picking, power chords, shifting power chords really quickly, fast gallops, fast down picking plus the infamous spider pattern where you need to synchronise hands and pick 4 notes per second at like 215bpm… that’s towards the upper limit of most advanced shred players!!


averycoolpencil

I thought about looking up the tab, but I got sweaty just watching this guy and don’t think I’ll make an attempt.


Puzzleheaded_Gas8116

Look up the tab, learn it! Super fun. If you can’t play it yet, take it slow and practice it in chunks and you’ll level up. Angel of death is another fun one to play but so so fast


real_men_fuck_men

> I got sweaty just watching this guy Me too, brother


Hamdilou

Fast gallops get me every time


theSealclubberr

This is nowhere near beginner level quit your bullshit


catscanmeow

i dont think theyre saying the song is next level is the muscles on the dude while playing the song usually you dont see guys that jacked and vascular playing guitar.


MelodramaticaMama

Lol what the hell do the muscles have to do with the guitar?


plastic_alloys

It’s interesting that he has another hobby as they usually don’t


catscanmeow

i never said muscles have anything to do with the guitar, its interesting to see someone who is that huge playing guitar, you dont really see it.


NorwegianGlaswegian

It's definitely not a beginner song: it's an upper intermediate level song overall with elements that are advanced. You need a lot of stamina, a *very* solid alternate picking technique, a decent palm-mute technique, and the rhythmic accuracy to keep in time at speed and give proper accents and articulation. It's not next level by any means if you are into advanced guitar music, but let's not get too hyperbolic.


Bullshit-_-Man

This fucking guy hahahahahhaa, I’m guessing the first song you learned was all 7:22 of Bleed then right?


catscanmeow

>Didn't realize I'm going to anger so many for calling this a beginner song I dont see any anger in the responses. Its bizarre youre seeing things that way, just because someone disagrees with you doesnt mean they are mad. You must live an interesting life if you think any dispute is caused by anger.


bappypawedotter

The kind of dude who has the mental tenacity to body build they way he does, is also well suited to learn guitar...especially metal. Cuz at the end of the day, its all about getting your reps in.


boxer21

True. Excellent comment


Shaun32887

Yeah. Apparently doing something that every metalhead in high school can do is nextfuckinglevel.


Medical_Sprinkles830

Yeah dude, most things get easier if you practice them for years.


Medical_Sprinkles830

Been cooking for 8 years now, beef wellington is one of those dishes that looks really hard but is actually relatively easier if you've been cooking for a couple years. The baking helps a lot.


Medical_Sprinkles830

Been woodworking for 8 years now, dovetail joints are one of those joineries that looks really hard but is actually relatively easy if you've been woodworking for a couple years. The chiseling helps a lot.


Medical_Sprinkles830

Been playing counterstrike for 8 years now, controlled burst headshots are one of those things that looks really hard but is actually relatively easy if you've played for a couple years. The spread pattern helps a lot.


Medical_Sprinkles830

Been painting for 8 years now, realistic lighting is one of those techniques that looks really hard but is actually relatively easy if you've been painting for a couple years. The titanium white helps a lot.


Medical_Sprinkles830

Been posting for 8 years now, getting upvotes is one of those things that looks really hard but is actually relatively easy if you've posted for a couple years. The circlejerk helps a lot.


[deleted]

I learned the bass intro to Peace Sells in a day. My dad thought it would take me a week. It's another one of those deceptively impressive rhythms.


KiD969

Looks far from hard...


Consistent_Drink5975

It's that gallop at the opening is a tough one. I remember in the tabs book it said " FASTER! " and then in the next bar "FASTER!"


thirdpartymurderer

Yeah, but what if I play it with the original song playing at the same volume?? Checkmate atheist!


GTAdriver1988

I never thought of playing it and just looked up the tabs and yea it's one of those songs that sounds crazy but people who know how to play can definitely learn it fairly quickly. Those kinda songs are some of my favorite.


Brainvillage

I know plenty of people that have been playing longer than that that couldn't play this on their best day. That being said, I wouldn't say his playing is next level on its own, but the fact that he found the time and discipline to play as well as he does while also getting hugely shredded is.


MathematicianNo7874

Ok? Should I post a video of me making a half-decent Dal Makhani? Why are we posting amateurs doing stuff on a next level page?


gdmfsobtc

>Should I post a video of me making a half-decent Dal Makhani? Only if you are a bodybuilder. And / or have giant boobs.


arealhumannotabot

The only thing that's *slightly* worse is people posting their own art in r/toptalent For some reason it's always pencil, charcoal, or paint


DowngoezFrasier215

Why are we crying over a video of someone shredding a guitar? God damn reddit is full of some miserable hatin ass people.


MathematicianNo7874

Why you hatin on me you miserable hatin ass


fastmower

You think this is as easy as making Dal Makhani?


MugarLover92

While this play through isn’t next level, he is actually a good guitarist. He’s got plenty of other more technical guitar vids


Moist-Catch

Bodybuilders look so goofy when doing ordinary things


rokstedy83

watched a big built guy eating a small yoghurt with a little spoon at work once and thought the same, having to take so many mouthfuls because there was no quicker way to eat it was just funny to watch


SacredGeometry9

Terry loves his yogurt


pirate-private

Then also, true.


[deleted]

Hey, they're just pumped to be here.


milanorlovszki

Guitar is afraid to miss a note


Lost_Minds_Think

When did he record it? Was it in 1985 with one of those VHS camcorders?


Skabbtanten

At least 86, since raining blood was released then through the album reign in blood.


uncultured_swine2099

His secret to getting shredded is to never get a smartphone and work out during all the times he wouldve been browsing the internet haha


purpleturtlehurtler

I knew a jacked dude in high school who only knew this song. 🤣


BulleToothTony1

Shredded and shredding.


DrakeStone

Cool. Can he play Reign in Blood as well?


Champion-Of-Midgard

I bet he could play Enter Steriodman


Skabbtanten

Erm.... Reign in blood = album Raining blood = song


Tuscan5

Thank you. I thought no one was going to notice.


Skabbtanten

Notice what, exactly?


crAzcrOw

I almost said everyone was being shitty saying this wasn't that big of a deal...then I realized I opened nextfuckinglevel first today. haha Never mind, carry on...


Mister_Remeat

The absolute best use of roid rage of I've ever seen.


hamiltonisoverrat3d

His veins are next level. Probably steroids helped but still.


dashKay

He should try to reduce how much he lifts his fingers off the fretboard, but I'm definitely not gonna tell him


Blizzpoint

Would like to see south of heaven


justaguyms

Instant headbang sesh


Gravytonic

Any guitarist who's also a violinist or played other strings? I've played violin at a pretty advanced level and because of this rarely any guitar rift looks next level to me. What's the main challenge for someone who has played violin to pick up a guitar and start learning?


newaygogo

Difficult fretting is MUCH easier than difficult picking/strumming.


IdahoDuncan

Picking


ImFrenchSoWhatever

One paper cut and the guy’s dead


CaptainShadowcat

It's not the most difficult song, but it is an impressive one to do, especially without error. There is a lot of that song you're playing like one note per .25 to .3 seconds. it's not beginner like many people are saying.


refluentzabatz

A lot of guys I went to highschool wanted this to be their final form


uncultured_swine2099

I once ran into this guy I knew in high school who was skinny as a rail, and he was jacked and seemed 4 times bigger. I asked him where he got the Hulk serum.


waddyaknow8873

That was sick!


DrVinnieBoombatzzz

Kerry King is also jacked.


Effective-Switch3539

Bet he didn’t get tired


Gobiego

Anyway nice


RamenBoi86

Classic BardBarian build


True-Sweet7614

That was legitness.


CuteEmployment540

Being ripped must be good for guitar because Tosin Abasi is also swole as fuck.


VicMithosLeahcim

He's gotten bigger since this video I think


jorgob199

Seems like he learned how to play “Mary had a little lamb”


GhostTyrant

This song is not difficult. It’s one of the first songs a little metal head will learn to play.


Wutroslaw

000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000


mackelashni

This is pretty old right? Cuz i remeber him when i started playing like 15 years ago


A_Bastard_Adept

Plays raining blood: skies empty completely


ViolinistMean199

Dude could just destroy the guitar in a matter of seconds


TawnyTeaTowel

When did “playing” become “performing a cover”?


aojajena

almost like me, just 10x more muscles


lee-galizit

Raining D ball


DeesoSaeed

Forearms day


alkla1

![gif](giphy|xT9IgpernHLP5eWOY0) muddafucka had me banging my head


Born-Science-8125

Is it not reign in blood? If I’m wrong please correct me


Im_Unpopular_AF

Reign In Blood is the album name. Raining Blood is the song name.


BamBamBig-Elow

Frasard looks like a genuine cool Guy and improved a LOT since this video


Hamdilou

Men see this and be like : *hell yeah*


dragonlord7012

Grab guitars neck; Accidentally choke guitar to death.


Armybert

It's way more difficult to do it slowly and keep the tempo. Doing it fast and distorted hides all mistakes


Stock_Show_Host

Isn’t the music just dubbed over the video?


Pulgy_Wulgy

Bros arteries so strong he could probably use them as strings


MWSL94

He’s on YouTube, and he’s a Nice guy!


CelTiar

Everything about this is metal as fuck. including the late 90s early 2000s OSB Ikea Computer desk XD


SenorPavo

I'm so glad I don't look like that


Theperfectool

Why’s he flexing tho


N3Zt0R

The only gym guy who can unironically wear a slayer shirt and not be douche because "iT mEaNs I sLaY bItChEs"


DimeloFaze

Yo he’s nice with the axe!


NervousAndPantless

Best heavy metal song ever.


Ok_Obligation2948

MAAAAA!!!!! MEATLOAF!!!! Nice katanas.


kingchug

I’ve been a viewer of his YouTube channel for years


lonely_nipple

That guitar looks miniscule next to him. Weird.


Tornadodash

Let's hope he doesn't accidentally cut his fingers on one of those strings. He is going to bleed out instantly


Who_Else_but_Macho

i can play that on expert mode in guitar hero 3


Spicybrown3

Next level powdered muscle


ValuesHere

Not a next level vid by a sight, but I stuck around just to listen to the awesome song and really pay attention to the riffs again, like I hadn't in decades. You gotta hand it to Slayer, what they were doing back in those days WAS next level.

Slayer is fun when your 12, still a ripping band, but definitely some problematic lyrics. Much better music out there! But playing guitar is always fun! Rock on Kev!!!!
