As soon as I heard this riff, with the sputtery fuzz on the album recording, I knew I was in for something great.

the first test I put any fuzz or amp through is the "does it Sanctuary" test. Glad this is a thing.

Mad scientist

Late to the game on Elder but as soon as I heard this band I was instantly enthralled with all of their albums. Was lucky enough to see them live last night and they slayed.

Such an underrated band!

DiSalvo is an amazing player,You know Elder has evolved from a decent Stoner band to a very Progressive Psychadelic Brew that few new bands can touch.The Silver N Gold sessions(2019) changed the way I viewed my own playing/There's so much going on that it borders area's of Fusion N African rythms.You don't hear their music You see it.

SANCTUAAARYYYYYYYYYYYY

Favorite song on my favorite album from my favorite band!

Best actual stoner band ! All their albums are really impressive. My favourite band since 2017. Love you Nick !

My favorite song. I can listen to this song all day!

I’ve always loved Elder. However, from this album on they have gone on to become one of the most important modern progressive rock bands on a level with Opeth, Porcupine Tree, and Dream Theater. Like the aforementioned bands, Elder are not just playing progressive rock. They are carrying it forward in the same spirit of bands like King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Rush, Genesis, and Yes did in the early 70’s. All that aside, killer band!🤘

Elder rulz. Nick doesnt give himself enough credit. Music theory is one thing but intelligence and talent/creativity is the ultimate in music writing. This guy is on a high level. Elder riffs and arngements are incredible. Wish he was a bit more gifted with the pipes. Cheers.

I saw Elder at the Astoria in Vancouver before I was really even into them - a friend who is a fan invited me - and had such a great time. Can't wait until we can rock together again 🤩

Very good. And clearly explained too. Thanks! Looking forward to hearing you live in Pittsburgh on 8/5/22. Nice and loud.

Dope song. Thanks for the lesson Nick.

So many videos have been made about the intro riff to this song, and so many of them were wrong! So happy to be blessed with this knowledge by the man himself! Thank you for this! 🙏

I spent what felt like a REALLY long time figuring this riff out at the beginning of quarantine and NOW this video comes out lol. Sick riffs

Elder rages so good

Heavenly riff!

LOVE that riff! This is awesome

Yes! I love Elder. Going to work on this for sure. This band rules.

Such a great great band and man... what a cool, down-to-earth guy.

Australia as a whole would love to have you when this bloody bug fucks off.

You guys need to get him to do their entire discography.

Huge thanks for the lesson. It's so much fun playing this song.

I have never heard this song but now I’m in love.

Thanks Nick! Sanctuary is one of my favourite tunes of all time!

Thank you guys for making this happen. I’ve been wanting to know how to play his riffs, I’m not very good at just watching and learning. I need it explained to me like this or in tab form. Eventually these guys will gain more popularity. They are still underrated for how amazing they are

My favorite band and guitarist

Spiral on brothers!

Your music ascends all genres and music . Absolutely legendary. 💚

this band has the sickest riffs. Dead Roots Stirrings has the sickest fuzz part ever!

Elder are the bollocks! Put the word out!

Such a badass riff to an amazing song!

And a Bal Sagoth poster in the background, awesome! There's dozens of us!

Great Nick!

I've been following the band since around the time of their Spires Burn EP, and anyone living in the Providence area who was into this type of music was pretty lucky, because we had ample opportunities to see them live locally. After Nick moved to Germany and the band (with the exception of bassist Jack Donovan) was eventually based there, of course their live shows here became much less frequent. Just saw them live a few days ago, though, and it was killer. Cool to see that Premiere Guitar thought their riffs were worthy of rundown. I've been trying to figure out some of their stuff for awhile.

Such a great riff. Really tasteful id say

I can tell just from the first few arpeggios this is gonna be a real fret spanner lol!!

You’re so good at explaining what you’re doing! I still can’t do it yet though lol

This riff hits so hard \m/\m/ Thanks for doing this!

I love the new record so much!

MORE ELDER, MORE!

Grande Nick
