Monolord Guitar Lesson w/ TAB - Empress Rising - B Standard Tuning

In this doom metal guitar lesson I teach you the entire rhythm section from Empress Rising by Monolord. The song is broken down into its main riffs, each demonstrated and explained in full detail.

Your guitar will need to be tuned to B Standard: B - E - A - D - F# - B

The song is played in the key of B-Minor (E-Minor position in Standard Tuning) and its riffs utilize elements from the Phrygian Mode {R, b2, b3, p4, p5, b6, b7} with the added b5 from the Blues Scale and M7 from the Harmonic Minor Scale.

Finally ! It's happened ! A youtube channel about the Metal music ! God is good !

[Runesocesius]

One of the best stoner/doom riffs of all time.

For the budget conscious, the 30$ Behringer Superfuzz nails it. Thanks once again from the riffs, Steve

[marcopullo]

The best channel on YouTube. No ego, no bullshit just fuzz and love.

[DiegoSouza]

I don't even own a guitar, i just love the riffs so much, good shit

[noisydope]

im a lefty, and for years have had to "play" using righty guitars so as you can imagine, i can get some, but not ALL of the sound of songs i want to play. so once i finally was able to get a lefty guitar, i went straight to this channel so i could learn some of my favorite jams. your doing awesome work for those of us who want to learn, thank you!!!!

[jamesstonehouse]

I just love those low chords with the fuzz full on. Sick!

[VanWhyDesigns]

Hells yes. One of my favorites from Monolord. Great job. Nailed the tone. Surprised to see it's on a Crush 20.

I might add, I'm 60 years old, and doomin' the f*ck out over here in S. Louisiana. Seems B std. and heavy fuzz is my calling. Too many bands to discover. They're all over. Brazil. Chile. Croatia. Russia. Slovakia. Just to name a few! Keep doomin' and posting. We NEED you!

[doombringer]

THIS lesson is KILLA. Good riffin' and breakdown! LOVE me some Monolord!

[HeatMyShorts]

I'm gonna try SO HARD to nail-down a quick jam of this song on a Pringles review on my Channel..! NEVER could have got it 'dialed' without this video and this channel. Thank you so much Steve. From Steve!

"Dear Lucifer" is definitely my favortie Monolord song! I love to see doom and stoner stuff on youtube, thanks to the algorithm you appeared on my homepage. For once, youtube was right.

When you hit the fuzz, it scared the crap out of but I liked it 😎

[NerdGasims]

Awesome video and lesson of a killer song with badass riffs

[BlackClawDoom]

Steve your a fuckin legend!! Out of all the lessons you've done this is the one that's made me the happiest lol.

A little of topic maybe, but dude would love to see an in depth vid of your guitar collection, like what pups, tuning and sort of thing you use each one for, cuz from what I've seen you have an awesome collection of stuff.
