Tenacious D - The Metal Part 1 

If this riff came out in the 80’s, this would be an all time great iconic riff!

"Oh god, why did you stop?!" I love his enthusiasm for the song and riff even after hearing and playing it thousands of times !

2022 and I'm still watching this. Tenacious D will NEVER DIE

That is one of the coolest riffs

I played this for a music assessment at school a little while back and sped it up a little bit. Needless to say I got an A due to the awesomeness the Metal possesses

You can really appreciate just how awesome this song is by slowing it down and watching it.

Can`t believe i just found this channel.

be a lot easier to learn if the camera would stay on the guitar, guys.

Honestly one of my favourite tenacious D songs

One of my favorite songs to play! I'm glad I can learn the real way instead of the wrong tabs

Hearing Kyle doing the introduction narrative for the metal, keep this video in a museum please so 30 years from now I can be really happy and excited for a second please

i actually taught myself this song a couple months ago. glad to see i'm playing it pretty accurately

I'd take that private lesson deal. I'm a new guitar player and would die for the experience of being raised and mentored into the world of rock from... well... the greatest band ever

if kyle came to my house to give me private lessons my head would explode from his sheer epicosity XD

Dah dundun da na na nah - "whaaaat" 6:37 lmfao

It has taken me to long to learn this most powerful of riffs...

Wow, I didn't know about this channel. You guys are great, especially KG.

This song is so fun to play, covering it was a blast

That is some heavy licks, most awesome.

Dear KG, Kones, and JB, I can not wait till may 24th at the fox theater when i'm going to see my favorite band of all time ! Tenacious D is the reason i started playing guitar and your music has got me through alot of hard times. Without you guys i would probably not be the person i am today. HAIL TO THE D!

i watched it a couple times and picked it up just fine

@Guitarings that is the single most truthful thing on the internet.

Hahaha, these lessons blow so much, but you guys are so FRAKING AWESOME

So glad, they've came back

I think i find the Holy Grail of Guitar Lesssons on RU-vid!! John Konesky is awesome.. i really like his guitar playing!!!

Hahaha...the beauty of getting baked and teaching riffs.

It's too bad these guys aren't very good teachers, because the riffs are some of the most amazing riffs in the history of many kind! They look fun as hell to play too! But it's so good, and they seem to have so much fun playing that I really enjoy watching these even though I can't seem to understand with them teaching lol.

Kyle Gas, the king of socks and sandals

That riff is sooo much fun to play, thank you D

Hey Kyle Gass, long time fan and student of your music as well as the D, just found your channel and so glad I did! Keep it real, brother, one love.

*shreds* "yeah just do that kinda thing."

YEAH!!NEW VIDEO!!!!!!!!

This is awesome. I subscribed because of this song. Will go back and watch the other videos :)

fucking love tenacious d!!! learnt the first part of the metal in 5 minutes!! cheers cant wait for the other lessons to come out!!

this band is a perfect example of why anyone can make it in music these guys are the most unprofessinal band ever and yet they kick ass! haha rock on guys!

When John plays it slow, it's actually pretty easy to pick up on, you don't even need teaching.

Cool lesson, lots of fun :) Neeeeew waaaaaaaawe :D :D :D Thanks guys! :)

How can you not be a fan?

LOVELY.

this channel is alive! god damn i missed those tasty tenacious d licks! Gonna learn this right now (although in drop c# since im too lazy to change the setup ;p ) Thank you guys for teaching us, it's always great for a guitar player to learn their favorite songs straight from the hand of the creators ;p

2023 and still my best metal Riff 🎸❤️ By the way U don’t have to use drop D just Standard Tuning Works Too all u have to do play 6th string Open it’s the same note

When he said the metal I felt that

your back? YES!

@guitarings I'm really noob at playing guitar caus i just began... So i need to know, for tuning an electric guitar, can i use a clip-on tuner made for acoustic guitar? And, what is playing « drop D» ?

Phoenix, AZ baby

@Guitarings Please make a D tour in Mexico we'd love to see you here in Monterrey :D

This is so much easier than I thought it was gonna be.

WOWWWW!!!!! its awesomeee!!!!!!!!!!!!

@derD3pp1 so, exept the e string, evry string is tuned normally?

this riff is so fucking awesome!

What kind of guitar do you guys recommend for a beginner?

Killer sound there Mr. Konesky!

Love this

@DisposableHeros423 Any pedal that has a lot of gain.

Hey Kones what strings exactly do you use?

i need help do you know if the marshal haze amps are any good?

im so excited to learn this song from kyle fuck this add!

Awesome channel and good call on playing the hole riff : )

hahaha love knife you rule kyle you needa make more episodes.

what kind of guitar is john using?

I had to slow the video down to follow the riff, but I also got the added bonus of watching the stoner stoner edition :P

anyone know the song right at the end? or was it made for the channel?

I would f*kin love if KG would jam with me on my couch. Love your style Amigo.

John, what kind of humbuckers are on your guitar? they sound badass dude

Hey guys I downloaded the video and watched in in slow motion. Heres the tab: 6th string: 2bar/5bar pulloff thing 5th string: 320202320 6th string: 2bar/5bar pulloff thing 5th string: 3202 6th string: 3bar 5th string: 532320202320 Hope this is right and helps! Thumbs up so people can see this!

Fox Theater in Detroit?! I knew they were coming here to Michigan on July 6th but I didn't know that they were coming on May 24th! That's fucking awesome haha

Love the socks and sandals. Are those Rainbow Sandals? If not, I am sure we can get you some sandals for you if you guys come down to San Clemente for an acoustic thing for your next Guitarings video. You can film it right at the store. Let me know I will work out the details for you.

@walt909 I haven't heard them yet, but maybe I'll try it out at NAMM this year!

I fucking love Tenacious D!!!!! Rock on!

Monster Riff!!!!

what guitar is that ?

Wich strings you got there ?

Totally agree...

Definitely an old school Mockingbird.Probably early 80's,when they were very high quality.They used Hawaiian koa wood on most of the ones I have seen. Reminds me of Joe Perry guitar

GO!! DOUBLE TEAM LESSON PLS!!!

@guilepro "Drop D" means basically that you tune the low E String 1 step down..So from E to D.

i just cant get this down and sound clean! im trying on an acoustic, and also on my,,,,,,, RANDY JACKSON!!! Signature model 6STRING!!!! which,, i thought was decent, xmas gift BTW, but its just not. plus i bought a moss me 25, thinking that it would be good, cause i wanted a distortion pedal, n this had an effect, along with many others,, but na,, it sux. i want to buy a good guitar cause cheap guitars are just making it harder to play i feel. help me out nickras

1:53 helpful tool :)

I have never been more tempted to challenge a band. We have 3 couches and large bongs. We need taught how to properly jam among rock gods

haha, i would love to hang out with KG

I love Kyle he is so fucking passionate hahaha, come fly out to Australia Konesky, kage and jables!!

is the private lesson stil a challinge??

@Musicgirl82 great! Be sure to post it to our facebook page when you do! We're looking forward to seeing it!

Does anyone know the tab for this? Any ones I find seem different to what they show

Tenacious D is my life!

@Guitarings Oh perfect, now I know everything. :)

Savage Riff

Since it's too fast , you guys can go to the options on the video and click the playback speed and slow it down

Tenacious D must visit Belgium!!!!! And Kyle... you must sign my guitar!! It's because you guys i started playing guitar 4 years ago. i can honestly say that i am one of your biggest fans living in Belgium. so get your asses over here >:D

What Pickups do you use ? :)
