For me, Rewind’ leaned much too heavily on the band’s radio rock side. That’s always been a part of their sound – but not the whole sound, and to me Rewind’ just focused on it too deeply, too often. Servant Of The Mind by contrast seems to be very conscious that the previous album was a bit too far away from their metal side, and is a pretty hard and deliberate course-correct towards heaviness. There is much more speed, power, groove, crunch, umph, tiny bits of Thrash-esque moments here and there, even one cheeky Death Metal riff hidden in there once. Tracks like “Becoming,” feel built for fans who like the band’s heavier material (think “Slaytan”), while “The Devil Rages On,” “Step Into The Light” and “Say No More” more than make up for the previous album’s lighter touch. Heck, “The Sacred Stones” seems to be a deliberate tribute to Black Sabbath’s “Heaven And Hell.” In addition to Metal though, they’ve also always had a bouncy punk tinge at times, and “The Passenger” covers that side of them as well. While I may be banging on a bit too much about the metal Volbeat have never been entirely all about heaviness – it is an important part of the puzzle, and it is nice to see it get enough focus again, but it is only part of the bigger picture. For those fans who like the bigger, catchier moments, the album does still have some nice radio rock moments, for example the single “Dagen Før” (featuring Alphabeat’s Stine Bramsen doing guest vocals) covers that kind of “Cape Of Our Heroes” or “Last Day Under The Sun” melodic vibe, and the choruses of even some of the heavier tracks lean into big American radio rock at times (its still there, its just blended better on this album). I have one request that I have been struggling with for about a week trying to pickup what I can from youtube videos and such, but picking up licks at fullspeed is tough! The 3 lead parts in Volbeat’s Lola Montez.Volbeat have also always had a fun side, and while I sort of make it sound like I didn’t like their previous album, it certainly had its great moments. But time to devote just isn’t on my side.
#VOLBEAT STILL COUNTING SOUNDS LIKE HOW TO#
Your lessons make learning the songs I love and want to learn how to play so much more attainable and I thank you!!!! I would love to become a member and start learning a song a week. I get to play approximately 2 hours a night after they are in bed. I have 2 young daughters and of course I work all day. I have never had a guitar lesson in my life, I can’t read a lick of music and I’m either too lazy or too impatient to fumble through tablature. I just want to say that you are a Godsend! I have been “playing” (for lack of a better word) the guitar since I was about 18 and I’m 48 now.

If these free lessons help you, please donate to keep new ones coming daily. Have fun with this modern rock classic by Volbeat! The outro of the song consists of a melodic guitar solo which is probably one of the easiest solos Volbeat has ever recoded. You will hear this section a couple times within the song with the only difference being the very end of the harmony guitar part. There is a cool muted groove riff a little later in the song that leads into a quick harmony guitar part. The verse and chorus sections are much easier to play so they probably won't give you much trouble since they are pretty straightforward.
This double-time section contains 3 separate riffs back-to-back, so I will break each one down individually. I would say this section is definitely the most challenging section of the entire song.
I will show you the strumming pattern used at the beginning, then the simplified version he plays when the vocals come in.įrom there the band launches into a scorching double-time section that requires the ability to play rapid downstroke muted rhythms. "Still Counting" starts with a tight clean tone rhythm using basic bar chords. That would make the tuning, starting from the 6th string, D G C F A D. The tuning I am using in this video lesson and that was used on the original recording is one whole-step down for every string on the guitar. In this Still Counting guitar lesson video, I will show you how to play all of this modern rock hit by Volbeat note-for-note.
