Extensive Online Riff Lesson & Video Interview with SOILENT GREEN’s Brian Patton

MetalKult.com has just posted an extensive video interview and riff lesson with SOILENT GREEN guitarist Brian Patton.

The footage was filmed at MetalKult's Manhattan headquarters on June 25, 2008, when SOILENT GREEN came to New York City to play the Nokia Theatre (with DETHKLOK and CHIMAIRA) in support of their latest album, Inevitable Collapse In the Presence of Conviction (Metal Blade).

In part one of the two-part lesson, the ex-EYEHATEGOD, current SOILENT GREEN guitarist weighs in on his role in creating the NOLA metal sound, the roots of SOILENT GREEN's riffs, his use of chord sliding and how to build a song out of many different, non-repeating sections.

Part two shows Patton demonstrating how to play some riffs from a variety of SOILENT GREEN tracks, such as "Antioxidant," "13 Days a Weak," "In the Same Breath" and "Sewn Mouth Secrets."

Go to MetalKult.com now to check out this exclusive footage!

R.I.P. Vitek (Please donate to help)
Category: Music

All of us in Soilent Green would like to send out our condolences to the family and friends of Witold 'Vitek' Kieltyka, drummer of the Polish Death Metal band DECAPITATED. We would also like to send out our best to Adrian 'Covan' Kowanek, singer of DECAPITATED, who also sustained a head injury during the accident and remains hospitalized. We first met all the guys in DECAPITATED while on the Nile tour in January 2006. All of them are amazing individuals to tour and share the stage with. It is a very sad moment when tragedy strikes to such young and talented musicians. We send our deepest regards to the entire band and their loved ones.
