He also takes viewers into his playing on 'Crush the Industry' and the Van Halen-esque 'Prophecy of the Laser Witch' before finishing his Gear Factor performance with 'GhostHorse,' a song that shares a name with his Epiphone Guitar.

“They’re never the fast ones,' he states, adding, 'They’re always on the ones that are more epic chord kind of stuff like ‘Go Into the Water.’ I like the intro and those chords a lot.” Speaking of his own metal-inspired material, Small admits his favorite riffs are not the ones you might expect. Viewers get a taste of that as well as 'Awaken.' Small then dives into his own catalog, singling out the Dethklok theme song as one of the first songs he ever wrote.

He also credits a Paul Gilbert instructional video as a key tutorial, but one that drove his siblings a little nuts as he practiced the repetitive exercise constantly.

'That was an important lesson cause it meant you could start writing your own songs.” “It was just two notes played together at the same time – a chord, the power chord, and you can move it around everywhere,' he explains.
