[MarkWrestldAbearOnce]

sweeet! where did you learn it bro?

[PatS1t]

The tabs are readily available on the internet from the actual tab book.

*shrug*

Just search Ants of the Sky on Ultimate-Guitar, though the best tabs are in Guitar Pro 5 format.

[MarkWrestldAbearOnce]

Yeah I don't have guitar pro but I'm thinking about getting it, might be worth it, its not too expensive anyways

[Chriff216]

[crazydude1181]

Holy crap man well done that blew me away I've always loved that section of the song and you played it magnificently.

[greenfrog1030]

that sounded exactly like the album man, kudos to you!

[ryanweber88]

DUDE. SICK.....NASTY. 5 stars.

[flupusbarbosa561]

LMAO THATS AWESOME

[iliveforwinter]

you should post those tabs somewhere

[bdohertyb5]

LMAO. can u tab this shit out for me. thats sick. and btw that wasn't played on guitar it was Dan playing the keys

[xshredgex]

i'm about 100% fairly sure that its played on an acoustic guitar on the album...

[TheAJMetal]

@xshredgex I don't know. I saw on Colors Live he was playing keys at that part. Not sure though.

[NtKFiR3ArM]

@TheAJMetal if you listen closely theres a banjo in the background. i think hes playing the banjo part on the keys, but im not sure.

[Megadouille1]

@NtKFiR3ArM Yeah, when you watch the DVD... Tommy's playing something tricky on the keyboard, but it's not the solo... I would say it's banjo part too (since there is no banjo player in the band...). The camera focus is not on Paul, but you can see him playing it at times.

[BakerMassacre]

@xshredgex I could've sworn this was played on violin on the album.

[greenbeaner69]

@xshredgex yea its guitar lol

[IEatHarlots]

The first part is played on keys but the ending was on guitart

[xookazoid]

what first part?? the whole solo is on guitar!

[IEatHarlots]

Watch a video of between the buried and me playing this live and youll see what Im talking about

[xshredgex]

i'm too lazy to search, but i know that when i was at the colors dvd shoot paul played it on guitar, and its definitely a real acoustic guitar on the record, not a keyboard

[lankeysob]

@IEatHarlots some of the chords before the actual solo that he plays here is done on the keyboard, tommy has a banjo setting on his keyboard

[cbdumbass]

@bdohertyb5 You mean tommy right? The keyboard player/amazing singer. lol

[jarhead4214]

@bdohertyb5 Except you fail because i'm 100% sure it's an acoustic guitar on the album. I'm also 100% sure Dan is their bass player and does not play the keys.

[grinkid1010]

@bdohertyb5 he does both. its the gutair and the keys. but is this tabed anywhere?

[1xDRCx]

@bdohertyb5 I watched the colors live dvd at that part and it's paul playing it on guitar, you can't get bends like that on keys.

[AHopeForHumanity]

@bdohertyb5 Yeah, uhh... it's played on the guitar my good man. And plus the vocalist (Tommy Rogers) does the keys. Dan Briggs is the bassist. Haha

[anthonysjb]

@AHopeForHumanity

way to respond to a comment from two years ago.

[h3nRiQu3J]

@bdohertyb5 Dan on keys? o_O

[MrPayneful]

@bdohertyb5 dan, the bassist, was playing the keys? i think youre wrong boi

[tcarr92]

@bdohertyb5 The banjo part was played on a keyboard, but the guitar solo is definitely played on a guitar

[ProtestTheRomeo]

So awesome.

[smacksomehoes]

Awesome mang, awesome!!

[TexasTemari]

FFS!!!

That's really awesome. Good job.

[MetalGrim]

Great shit. I also love that solo. Hope you can finish the rest sometime.

[Mk927]

Hahaha amazing job dude

I love that solo, and how they incorporate so many different contrasting styles in their music

Well done

[mikeyfatstrings]

god.

[SamiKun]

Great job mate!

Whats the tuning? C standard?

[xshredgex]

its C# standard.

[michaelprodigy]

dude i was laughing while watching this. freakin awesome. haha

[Bassist4TBTH]

:13 sweeping in a bluegrass solo! only BTBAM haha.

[Killcows]

I freakin love that solo.

[SPARTACUSMAN814]

Is that a Taylor? Because I think thats the one im going to get.

[xshredgex]

yes it is.

314

[Thurman91]

taylor's are really great. The Arts around me have them but are really expensive, how much was yours?

[BTBAM14]

That was perfect!

[bbeaup]

this is really good man. it must have been hard to hit it as good as you did on an acoustic.

[1Killjoy1]

damn

this is way chill!

your decade of statues cover was bomb too

5/5

[AZNROCKER]

[TheBrutalD]

I always lol at this solo, but good job on playing it

[krikbre]

[xcharliezerox]

i forgot to ask, how do you record?

[xshredgex]

i just shot the video with the cam on my macbook. then i stuck the video in garage band and sync'd the music up with what i played.

[xcharliezerox]

great! that was one of my fav parts of the album(my fav album btw). great playing dude!

[jamsessionswithmettd]

if ur actually playing that- amazing job

[xshredgex]

yeah i played it haha.. there's actually a little slip up at like 16 seconds, i slid to a wrong note hah.

[ButtchinFTW]

Yes he really is. I know him irl. Hes such a fag but good at what he does.

[nickad101]

This is better than mine, I tell ya. And on an acoustic too?!? God.

[Rennehana]

Haha thats sweet.
