I remember seeing Metal Method ads in all the guitar magazines I used to buy as a teenager.

@billsultzbach7079 Год назад

Yep guitar magazine, Guitar World, plus hit parader and circus and kerrang

@roosternm6830 Год назад

Same here. I had a wall covered in pages from Circus, guitar world, etc. I loved my wall. Lol

@vintagevinylvets1187 Год назад

Speaking for myself, I think a lot of guitarists owe their education to Metal Method. I remember my first lessons were through Doug’s program. A debt of thanks!🙏🏻🎧

@acepaul407 3 года назад

I still have my Metal Method tapes and booklets. Back in the early 80's, there wasn't a whole lot of instruction for rock guitar and not too many people knew Van Halen or Rhoads licks. And if they did, they weren't going to show you how to play them. Doug's tapes changed a lot of that. I practiced for hours everyday and became pretty good. I developed enough that when Yngwie's Marching Out his the streets I was able to copy a lot of his licks (took hours and hours). Lots of good times back then.

Sounds like me being a teenager. I'm 52 now, kids have it too easy now.

@pb12661 3 года назад

yes....especially the part about showing you. I took LESSONS from a guy who would hesitate to show me anything really valuable. When I got older/wiser I figured out he was sandbagging me because he felt I could be future competition or something. Yep, anyone who grew up in the 80's knows how tough it was to learn. There is almost too much info out there now. lol

Bit crude but really well done. Transcriptions were mostly spot on thinking back.

Thanks Doug for all star licks guitar lessons on tape, tablature. Increased my playing…..!! Awesome!!

@luisvillarreal5262 3 года назад

Yep, I bought Doug Marks' Metal Method lessons. In particular, the Eddie Van Halen and Randy Rhoads lessons on cassette tape. Impressed the hell out of my friends. LOL Those were great times.

@travismiles5885 3 года назад

Doug's lessons got me started on my metal guitar journey. Thanks Doug! I still have my lesson cassettes.

@ae3062 3 года назад

Yes, with booklet in hand and cassette in boombox, Doug taught me how make a barre chord and more importantly, Palm Mute! Very cool interview. His voice sounds the same as on "Metal Primer"

@jackb348 3 года назад

He taught so many of us. He was the first to recognize the value of teaching to others. His teaching was very straightforward and a great primer to more advanced knowledge.

@DirtyBlues8 3 года назад

Great interview. Never got to see Hawk but I did see a lot of their flyers out on the sunset strip back in the day. Bam magazine was big in the 1980's in Los Angels, CA & Bam had tons of ads for tons of rock & metal bands. Hawk & Doug Marks Metal Method was all over those Bam pages....lol. Man, those were the days.

@michaellnbnj 3 года назад

Bought Doug's Metal Method cassettes in 86. It was my introduction to music theory/modes. Money well spent! Thanks Doug!

@robg8784 3 года назад

Awesome lessons

Me too!

@silentskystudios 2 года назад

Great interview. I'm primarily a drummer, but my guitar-playing brother ordered the Metal Method VHS course, and he learned a lot from it. That must have been in the early 90's. So in the past couple of years when I wanted to learn to play guitar, I went to Metal Method and have ordered several of their courses. It's all really good stuff, and you'll get as much out of it as what you put in!

@damionchrist 3 года назад

I would’ve never recognized Scott Travis had I not read his name in the video title, hair spray city!

Still have my Metal Method Cassettes and Booklets. Nobody was tackling how to teach the EVH and Randy Rhoads styles like Doug was back then. Still great lessons

@stevenbrewer9306 3 года назад

man my brother i think got the metal method pack and he would give me the cassettes and books when he felt he was finished and by the time he gave me the last one i was more advanced then him! only because i listened closely, that was huge with the tablature in the books, thanks Mark you taught me alot, there is so much magic when your learning!

@cheeseguy4998 3 года назад

Awesome interview thank you :) You ask the best questions too :)

@cheeseguy4998 3 года назад

My Brothers best friend played with Hawks Singer Charlie who is shown in the photos there for awhile in his band. It was Blues/Country Rock if i remember right.

Hawk Rocked as Doug still does!! Here's David Fefolt, vocalist from Hawk in a newer band, "Firewolfe" from 2015. More great metal!!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-v4enXOWCYbY.html He also sang with Seattle's Fifth Angel in recent years until FA guitarist Kendall Bechtel took over vocals on their most recent album, "The Third Secret" from 2018: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2UQRKBkF_SQ.html

@andrewzenn1719 Год назад

Interesting, I saw the pitch for metal method in every guitar magazine. Wasn't my style. But as a person who was in bands. Bands tend to migrate towards good song writers and "we" people. At least at first. Doug excelled at the "I" level. Which is great.

I’ve heard a lot about how good Marq Torien was as a guitarist but he doesn’t look amazing to me with the Bulletboys. Anyone got some footage of Torien shredding on guitar?

@cheeseguy4998 3 года назад

He was in Ratt for a brief time in 1982 playing guitar . There is some newer footage of Bulletboys with him on guitar from a few years ago. I can't remember if he does any leads or shredding though. The footage I'm talking about was with different members in Bulletboys.

@rudyrodriguez3125 3 года назад

Marq Torien was an amazing guitarist for being so young. I recall seeing him back in 1980, I was 12 yrs old and that guy blew my mind. Made an impression on me. First guitarist I ever saw live and he was doing the Van Halen style note for note and also was an amazing vocalist. Marq blew me away and then when he got the Ozzy gig after Brad Gillis and seeing his spread on the Herald Examiner, local guy made it. I really believe, that would of been exciting music..would of been Eddie meets Randy...I guess we got that with Jake..

Marq replaced Warren Demartini when Warren quit Ratt for awhile after a fight with Pearcy.

@bassist718 6 месяцев назад

So sad that times have changed! These days you can play bass solos with your nuts, and never find 1 decent and dedicated musician to put things together. I was just 10 in 85, but still easier to put a band together when all we had were newspapers and adds up in the record shop! Now we have the worldwide web and you can’t find jack!

@donjoseph73 2 года назад

Dude I grew up in Hollywood and I used his tapes. Everyone was going to GIT and no one would show you shit!! If they were good they were egotistical as fk . Metal method was the only way in the 80,s to get that type of instruction!
