Here's a classic riff from Savatage's Hall Of The Mountain King album "24 Hours Ago."
The guitarist is of course the late great Criss Oliva and the riffs are massively cool as always.
Make sure and tune down one full step to play along (D standard). All of the early Savatage material was in this tuning. The riffs should be fairly easy to play note wise, but make sure to listen closely to the articulations. Criss's rhythm playing is an art form in itself, well worth studying!
Rock On!
🤘🏻 Hell yeah! Next you should do “Ghost in the Ruins”
It’s on my list, stay tuned!
I really love your lessons! Sabotage is my favorite band and Dr. Killdrums is a good friend and the most wonderful human being I have ever met in my whole life!
Thanks!
To me, this song really defines Criss as a player! Some awesome licks throughout the song, especially the lick at the end
Oh yeah, for sure!
Olivia & Rhoad’s my 2 favs! TY 🤘
🤘
Awesome Nick thanks! We are all excited for the new Savatage album too! Can't wait! Thanks for the lesson! I tried by ear alone but couldn't so many thanks!
Awesome, thanks!
This is awesome, thanks Nick. Can't go wrong with pretty much anything off of the Criss Oliva albums. Dungeons are Calling, City Beneath the Surface, Sirens, so many to choose from.
Yeah so many great riffs!
Love it!
Great stuff!
It sure did grab me!
Couldn’t find decent tabs for this, thanks bro. 🤘
Glad to help!
You rock \m/ Thank you for keeping the music alive!
Always man! Thanks for watching! 🤘
Love it!!! Love to see Sgraggy’s Tomb……..along with many more!!!
Scraggy’s Tomb! Cool :-)
@@NickLaytonGuitar Follow Me! The song not literally! Savatage was and is a huge part of my life.Lots of stories!
Excellent!!
Thanks!
He was amazing, my favorite Criss solo is “Can You Hear Me Now,” that’s chock full of tasty Oliva licks. Thanks for the Savatage uploads 🔥👌🏼🤘🏼
Ahh yeah that’s a good one! Thanks for watching! 🤘
This one is Jon's favourite.Well played!
Thanks! Jon is a musical hero of mine.
Another gem by Nick thanks brother
You got it! Thanks James.
Oh man thank you. I was literally just starting yesterday to try to work this out on my own. I even worked out at the gym to this song today. I'm learning guitar rather late in life (let's just say I was a teenager when this song came out but have have only been playing guitar for four years). I enjoyed in your other vid where you mentioned a girlfriend with mix tape that had both Savatage and Metal Church because I guarantee I had those two mixed back then as well.
Just came across your channel but really appreciate your teaching style. You get right into it without a lot of talking but then also take time to explain all the important details, and your playing is inspiring. And honestly I haven't found many folks covering Savatage so it fills in an important gap.
P.S. Just checked out your web site and noticed your courses. Just bought the 80s metal course! Probably a bit advanced for me, but exactly the genre I want to get better in.
Fantastic! Thanks for your comments and for buying the course. Glad to have you onboard. Let me know if you have any questions.
Terrific riff that opens an amazing album, thank you for the lesson!
Thx bro!
Love this tutorial freaking awesome 🤘🏻 Power Of The Night or Holocaust would be cool too but can’t go wrong with anything from Savatage imo.
I did both of those riffs a few years back in my 11 Savatage Riffs You Gotta know vid. But yeah I think more Sava riffs are coming. 🤘
Love this...Thank you
My pleasure! Thanks for watching.
Thanks Nick!!! Another killer tune from Savatage... any chance you will do a tutorial on the lead fills he does during the main riffs? or even the main solo? I would love to see those too... Thanks again! You rock!!!
More Savatage coming for sure!
@@NickLaytonGuitar I have a question for you... just in case you do plan to do the lead stuff for this song... Is the lead guitar also tuned down a step or is the lead in standard? I ask because when I try playing that first lead run, it sounds too low when I'm playing a full step down...
@@tihmtahm I'm not sure actually...I'll have to investigate! 😃
@@NickLaytonGuitar I appreciate that... I asked because I can envision playing part of the rhythm and then going into the lead and going back and forth like that.. but if they're tuned differently, that changes everything... unless tuning in between is an option... or playing the lead parts up a step...
Always wanted to play savatage never attempted... had my peavey 6505 sounding very savatage like, so I looked you up next thing I know I'm doing it!! Thank you so much!!
Fantastic!
Great stuff as always! Favorite song off that albums is Beyond the Doors of the Dark. Still waiting on that Dream Child intro riff!
Yeah that’s a great Sava riff. Ok, I’ll sneak the Dream Child riff into an upcoming video :-)
I love this
Thanks for watching!
Good job bro
Thanks!
Can you do sirens or stuff off of power of the night?…
Coming soon…
🤘metal
