Trying to Survive Music's Most Complicated Riffs 

These long form videos are amazing! Keep them coming

The only thing harder for Mikey than playing the riff, is pronouncing the name properly.

Every time he called it “cha-mer-ah”, it made my soul hurt Cool video though

You need to do these long form videos more, they are awesome and incredible. It’s a better experience because it’s not just like a RU-vid short, so it’s one topic for a sustained amount of time, and so it’s awesome. Keep up the great work👍

would love to see some technical death metal in these learning videos. cytotoxin, archspire, nile and others would be interesting for you to learn.

Chi...as in Chilly? No. Chi..as in ummm chemistry.

bro its KAI MERA not CHI MERA

My favorite guitar youtuber

Cool to see you do other stuff then 'kurt' 'jimi' or 'frustrante'

Now try learning any metal solo Slayer, Megadeath, Slipknot, Death, that kind of stuff :)

Been watching your shorts for a while, would love to see what you would do with an 8 string honestly 😂 keep up the great content

a challange for you, learn holy wars

I didn't know Tod Howard palys guitar

BRO SORT YOU MIC OUT IT SOUNDS LIKE ITS CLIPPNG YOU HAVE A 300 DOLLAR MIC LEARN HOW TO USE!

Great video! Absolutely inspiring how much time u have put into guitar! Thank you 😊

So much respect for opening up and learning different genres. A true musician.

you said the song name wrong

try Cry of Accilies by alter bridge not the solo just the intro

I love watching Mikey’s videos because they really go in depth and tell you what it is, these videos are a thumbs up always!!

best youtuber ever

That had nothing to do with classical guitar.

Ohhhhhh,now i know the reason why you are not uploading RU-vid shorts too much

4:37 I felt that bro 😭😭

Whats interesting is sometimes the most complicated riffs are not the hardest to get right. There are lots of riffs that are not as complicated but are just as difficult. Every breath you take by the police, not only is it tricky but it also isnt the same progression on the verses for the whole song it varies slightly. There is also a song by the police called secret journey and the the arpeggiated riff for that is also pretty damn hard. Got to get paid by ZZ top, the hybrid picking is actually much harder than it seems because its absolutely screaming with gain so to get it to sound clean with no noise playing up to speed and in time is actually really hard. Then dont get me started on fingerpicking stuff some of it is just as hard as any shredding or technically impressive looking parts. Deep River Blues by Doc Watson,Never going back again by Fleetwood Mac and Big Love are absolute monsters to play fingerstyle and to get up to speed.

Still weird hearing him swear

My grandpa told a story of trying to learn some song by ear that he could not get, in his dream the guitarist who performed it came to him and taught him, I have no clue the legitimacy, but it’s fun

To be honest, I was expecting a piece from Tarrega or Villalobos. Their pieces are very technically difficult for guitarists and I think it would've been interesting to see someone try and play it for the first time. Still, great playing overall! Side note: Just because it’s played on Nylon string doesn't make it classical. Andrew York wrote and played his piece Sunburst on a steel stringed guitar.

Mikey I love your content! I think it would be really cool to see you try out a classic Marshall style head like the Origin series to really get those Slim Jim tones!!!

Loving these long form videos ❤❤❤

Every single guitar that would want to play I’m going to steal your room

Very cool but it's pronounced kai-mee-rah . No hate, the pronunciation just made me chuckle

Okay sixteenth notes tremolo'd are one thing but try the 32nd note taps on Cry for Eternity 💀💀💀💀💀

Long form videos are absolutely wonderful. Want more ❤

i think his brain would implode if he heard something like rings of saturn, Gorguts or Archspire

I’m learning the Nuno Bettencourt Rise solo myself 😂

What is that upside down headstock?

Love these kinds of videos! Keep it up❤

Bro what kind of guitar is that? Is that just a left handed neck?

For the record, chimera is pronounced "Kai-mehr-uh

I would like to see you play some archspire!!

3:21 I think he's the first guitarist to ever say that

Love your guitar set up

I know that feeling, neglecting to learn my repitior and having to learn grade 8 guitar catalogue in 3 days before my recital, passed with flying colours but boy did I bleed

Why is your headstock upside down?

dam i wish i could play like this

This guy has the best guitar faces

I love those long videos right here😃

What's with the thumbnail and your new shiny nose, Rudolph? anywise, Great playing and content

God I suck!! I need this kind of dedication, unfortunately right now I just don't have the time but I need to pick a riff and stick with it. I'm low intermediate player at best right now. Any suggestions??

Fun

nice

Love to see the process behind this. Makes me feel better about my progress, and more hopeful 👍

I would love to see you tackle something like periphery, I see them as a heavier sort of polyphia in riff style

If you want to make through the fire and the flames easier keep your pinkie planted

Try some bass riffs, suggestion: Como Tudo Deveria Ser - Charlie Brown Jr.

Lmao at 4:4

He said çimera

your commentary is pretty entertaining and funny keep it up bro!

Very cool, now try trough the fire and flames solo

ive never seen him swear andbleep or say sorry

Bro changed his pick mid riff
