I once had these "Learn to play CoB songs with Alexi Laiho" cd lessons and if I remember correct then allmost everything is played by using drop D tuning. By the way they have some songs with insane guitar solos, but maybe this song just isn't one of those. It's very straight forward and in your face, but it's still good song.

For me to read this (as someone who have listened COB for two decades) i would say i haven't heard anyone say that alexi wasn't great song writer. The main reason i started listening Bodom was the excellent song writing and (for compared to metal i heard before bodom) unusual Song stuckture. Alexi being sologod was just cherry on a top. I still listen 4 first albums irregulary but mostly hatebreeder, if i listen bodom

Anyone tuning into this video with even an inkling of a desire to dive into this artists' discography, I recommend "Follow the Reaper" their third album from 2000. You get a glimpse into the life of a young guitar virtuoso who was VERY neo-classically trained and influenced (some of this influence was sadly abandoned more in his later albums) and it's also just a really neat, hard-hitting, fun, intensely melodic ride of an album. I would bet that metalheads and non metalheads alike would find at least something in this album that would pique their interest and have them saying "damn, that was neat." RIP Alexi, a true rocker. Thanks for the deep-dive, Michael.

You were sorta overthinking the solo. The whole B flat and A thing was just playing a fifth in a basic D pentatonic dad rock lick So in the key of D minor, he's playing A(the fifth) on top of a Bb power chord(minor sixth) which is pretty simple, just basic Zakk Wylde pentatonic stuff with your twos, flat fives, major sixths and major sevenths here and there (every guitarists favorite "haha three notes per string go brrrrrrr" pattern) Individual chords in a progression is pretty much irrelevant if you know what key you are in, they're passive chord progressions that tie together to the key which is sorta the main chord so to speak Of course you're not gonna play B flat pentatonic over a B flat chord if you're in the key of D - you don't modulate the solo everytime there's a chord change, you play in key Just for the sake of constructive criticism, your approach to analyzing stuff may be a bit mechanical and robotic in a way if that makes sense I don't know if that's because of your ear, which you have discussed previously, but a lot of the times a theory based approach ends up overcomplicating stuff that is at its core really simple and trivial Relying on theory alone is gonna cause major tunnel vision and leave you completely oblivious to your surroundings and the overall context Some advice with rock and metal soloing that I could give would be to go with the pentatonic scale of a given key as default, and treat everything else as sort of an extension or addition to that basic pentatonic basis You really just need to know the key, the root, and the fifth, and everything in between is pretty much fair game The reason for that is because a lot of guitarists just add intervals in between the basic pentatonic notes that make the most sense in a given situation to form a three notes per string pattern to just make playing fast easier

COB always had those minor-major modulating lines, depending on the progression and tonal center. Their progressions were very much similar to those you would find in pop music, and many people would easily pick up on them, with heavy riffs and classically-influenced melodies on top. Truly a unique sound and approach. Another signature Alexi-ism, if you wanna call it that, is the syncopated accent right before the count goes from 4 back to 1 to repeat the line. For example, main lead hook/melody in Hate Me starts on the D note. This lead line is repeated 4 or 8 times whenever it's played. First time it comes in he won't do that accent because he comes from a different section into the melody on 1 count and it would mess up the flow and the groove. But every consecutive repeat, he throws in a little C to D slide (you can clearly see on the video that his middle finger is sliding into the note to repeat the melody again) anticipating the 1 count and accenting the offbeat between 4 and 1 with an 8th note in this case (the C-D slide is essentially the duration of an 8th note), or two 16th notes like he does on Downfall and Thrashed, Lost & Strungout intro/lead riffs. It's very subtle but once you pick up on it, it's unmistakable and it's there in almost every song.

Hey there, nice analysis! It's very cool how you harmonically can analyze a song so quickly. I have been playing some songs of the band, and there are some recurring patterns. Since i played some songs, maybe a bit more in detail. He likes to switch tonality, favourably full step upward/downward. Then, what you probably didn't hear at the first runthrough, but he likes to make varieties of the riffs, with half steps up on the major notes. Not the base chord notes, but the additional ones which usually would add to the 'major' feeling. This adds to the gloominess or weirdness of the sound. And finally, timeshifts: He plays a riff, then plays it again, moved, by a) adding 2 bars in between or b) simply leaving out some And all of the above in combination sometimes. You can't hear it as a non musician, because he switches in to 'favourable' patterns quick enough. Not all is in this song, but some: shift before the last part (I think), some weird notes in the solo. Timeshifts I cannot hear in it. The song Morrigan is a nice example for all. What i wanted to say: Harmonically it's not rocket science (Well, what is, anyway?). But the songs in detail are hard, so he creates it out of standard :D

Whole album has some crazy good guitar and keyboards but the drums are not it

from the video, Alexi obviously played the intro with open strings. ... I am sad to see Guitar Teacher playing it differently.

Something VERY wrong with a guy who's playing John Mayer's guitar, wearing a freakin Grateful Dead shirt, reacting to Alexi's playing. Really. Not right.

Nice break up of the song! Are you related to Ted Bundy? The same looks is uncanny!! Is that Roope Latvala in the rythm?

The couple notes at the start u were trying to figure out at around 4:20 aren’t actually in the song I believe. The Song starts when these really high notes start together with drums and bass I think.

Please note that Alexi was rated the fastest guitarist for quite a few years. It takes much work as one user noted. I'll always be missing Alexi. RIP.

At the begining he plays harmonics from G string 5th fret and B string 7th fret at the same time (Standard D tuning) to create that distinctive distorted sound
