Thomas Erak, Mouths Like Sidewinder Missiles

[BTBHead213]

NOTICE: PLEASE DON'T HATE BUT I will be putting ads on a few of my videos. I need to make some extra money for school and bills. Please understand.

-BTBHead

[TheAngelOfDeath1110]

@BTBHead213 I understand. I hope all of your other viewers will understand as well. I greatly enjoy watching Thomas Erak play so i can't complain

[MarcusMcGrizz]

@BTBHead213 We understand bro! :)

No hard feelings, do as you please!

[TheAstonishingsodape]

Have you got the tab to share?

[756isaiah]

anyone have an idea of what he is using for that funky little sound at 3:04 possibly some sort of pitch shifter?

[BTBHead213]

So someone should help me, I have seen on other videos that there is an option to slow the video to half speed or speed it up. I was thinking if I could do that to this video it would make it easier for all of you lovely people to learn how to play this. Let me know if anyone has any info.

-BTBHead213

[deepboss47]

@BTBHead213 i think that option is for newer HD videos =/...im not so sure though

[BTBHead213]

@deepboss47 I don't think so because Calvin Harris- I'm Not Alone has it and its an old video that is not even 720p and it didn't use to have that option. Trying to put it on cus I feel like it would help everyone out.

[deepboss47]

@BTBHead213 yea i just realized that, ill see if there's a way to get that setting

[ZetsuKazuku]

How the fuck could you dislike this? even if you liked country you'd have to like this..

[cristop001]

This guy sucks, i wish i could watch Thomas Erak play it... Lol

[tregitasian]

Thomas Erak.... Epic

[RossMonster]

You can tell it's Thomas. Same tattoo as all the live videos.

[MarcusMcGrizz]

Crotch shot of the year? -__-

ps: I fucking love this guy.

[IMDaJudgeAswell]

who the fuck would dislike this?... this world just doesn't make much sense to me anymore

[skiptrip2113]

sooooo fucking inspiring!!!!!!

[ParadoxIsntIt]

Am i the only one distracted by that picture in the background?

[hotnovel]

@ParadoxIsntIt you're a crack baby

[liyahnicolette]

I'm in loveee

[BlakeMDavis]

@TheseYeahThese Ibanez tube screamer, some type of delay, and maybe a sustain pedal.

[detox2retox]

Can you believe Thomas was only 17 years old when he wrote this? Amazing

[hotnovel]

@detox2retox brain of 1000 elder gods

[TDWPIzAwesome]

@detox2retox I know, I'm 14 and he inspires me in so many ways.

[370flip]

Whats the secret to that tone ?

[DerFritzkrieg]

@370flip Wikipedia says he uses an Ibanez TS9 Tubescreamer if that helps lol

[dooley21988]

i think i just had an eargasm

[inkBot7]

its easier to play your own stuff than someone else's

[inkBot7]

i smell marijuana when i watch this

[2carbombsare2fun]

the chords have such a good crunch and tone to them, like chewing down on a tootsie pop after its almost to the center

[M0ralHygiene]

Spot on friend, spot on.

[RobbyWheelerGuitar]

@M0ralHygiene I would hope so. That's Thomas Erak...

[inthemountains123]

@RobbyWheelerGuitar Holy shit, I thought it was some random guy covering it. I just assumed the name in the title was just to bring in more views, because that's what half of YouTube is like when it comes to this shit.

I can play this song on guitar, but I'll never be able to play it even close to half as beautifully as he does...

[ThyBlob]

@M0ralHygiene ummmm this is thomas himself.

[RPodovich]

Anyone have tabs for this? For the life of me I cannot pick up this song

[TehPurgatory]

WTB> instrumental TFOT collection

[maysteve24]

I LOVE THOM

[diegojosegonzalez]

The secret on that great tone, is the compressor!

[PurpleandStripes]

Fuck the tabs online, I'm about to just watch this over and over again until I get it. Most of the tabs are so off after seeing this

[Theblob516]

@PurpleandStripes actually the tab that I got off ultimate-guitar is basically exactly what he's playing besides the variations he does that aren't in the studio recording

[MegaKlaxons]

@PurpleandStripes ikr!! the tabs i for this song are so fucked up

[lolimfranco]

@PurpleandStripes I know! some of the tabs say you should pull off open but then you'll see him pulling of to another fret. if that makes any sense. plus you can see there's much more fills watching him

[TalentedMusicians]

Love and miss you Tom... wish I could play with you as a drummer some day!

[flawl3sslogic]

This song is so well written, such a talented guy as such a young age.... I guess he grew up around music which helped a bit = ]

[SolidSnyder]

Totes jelly.

[iamchris1000]

RAWWWRRRRR RAWWWRRR RAWWWRRRR RAWRRRRRR

[chopetexxx]

LOL U **** I GOT FUCKING RICK ROLLED LOLOLOLOLOL

[BobbySplax]

Anyone know what effects are being used for the solo? Sounds like a digitech whammy and like a chorus and a delay or something but i'm not sure.

[DerFritzkrieg]

This is probably the best cover i've ever seen for any song ever

[muckyukkerman]

@DerFritzkrieg This isn't a cover, this guy is the guitarist for the band that made it, HEYLOWWW

[DerFritzkrieg]

@muckyukkerman lol, the "U jelly" made me think it was just someone trolling as Thomas Erak, and I didn't read the comments before I replied :P

[muckyukkerman]

@DerFritzkrieg Hah, failness :P

[TheeAldeen]

IIm so jelly

[Kingopersia]

is this Thomas Erak?

[broed731]

@Kingopersia yes



[necroped0phile69]

aw i'm jelly

[GotSoulDoubt]

Dat tone!

[yubbone]

Holy shit, my mom's kitchen chair looks exactly like that chair. maybe if i go there and sit on it i can play this song..

[BTBHead213]

@yubbone That's how logic works friend.

[MrReigato]

he can play and sing this..

i just started playing guitar like two months ago. it's fun to toy around with, I just know a handful of riffs and chords. honestly, listening to The Fall of Troy really discouraged me early on because of Thomas Erak. now it inspires me. I hope I'm this good one day.

[doneaster]

I'm sorry that my opinion seems to offend, but it's only my opinion, if you want to remove my opinion please do so!!!!

[Kingopersia]

ho[]ly shit man, YOU ROCK. great freakin job. I've always wondered how a guitar player can play that fast

[TheDjTogy]

Got a back black cock!

[meex1H]

this is mindblowing

[doneaster]

He can play fast but in my humble opinion all he's playing is garbage. Anyone can play garbage, it takes true talent to play music with a lot of feeling and that means something.

[DustiestDog]

@doneaster Your opinion is offensive, and you should voice it elsewhere. Good day.

[stperea]

@doneaster this is a written song. he can sing over this. suck those balls

[stperea]

@doneaster this is a written song. he can sing over this, really well, with a band behind him. show some respect idiot

[stperea]

@doneaster this is a written song. there are other instruments going on here. and he can sing it while playing it. listen to the record idiot

[stperea]

this is a written song. there are other instruments being played, and he can sing over it. listen to the record idiot.

[peterjussi]

the part he plays starting at 2:12 sounds exactly like a tune from zelda. either majoras mask or twilight princess, i just cant put my finger on it. halp?

[L0lP0j0]

His hands fucking teleport.

[Keytap15]

I'm very Jelly lol

[WassuhhhhNoel]

It's mind-blowing how he sings while doing all this craziness!!!

[wtf235100]

OMG i wood sell my soul to the devil to be able to play as good as Thomas

[pandabords]

His hand is like a giant white spider that can play guitar incredibly...

[amosy3k]

were do i get this exact tab thats all i want

[StruckOutOfficial]

So...who else got Rick Rolled? -_-

[JavierClassicRock]

Todos los dias que me entro en el pc veo este video.

[herbhugger]

hey thomas uh that's not a link to the new song i think you put the wrong one it's to "never gonna give you up"

[Hellion6325]

@herbhugger you got rick rolled and didn't know it. what is this?!

[herbhugger]

@Hellion6325 What are you rolling?

[darzjak965ify1]

ME SUSCRIBO ME SUSCRIBO YY ME SUSCRIBO 10 MIL VECES MASS!!!!!!!

[fastenedgrandma]

@BTBhead

Its no use. They dont understand the troll therefore they wont get trolled.

>mfw i have no face

[chopetexxx]

Rick rolled >.>

[IamTheArsonist95]

Everyone's gonna riot against me but what the hell! Is this really Thomas Erak? >.<

[McPorkers]

@IamTheArsonist95 ya it is and if u still don't believe watch his act one scene one video and ull c his face

[TheMisterGalaxy]

I've always been a huge Fall of Troy fan. Thomas' playing is so fantastic. He is one of the best in my opinion. To be able to do vocals and play the technical stuff he does.. is just mind-blowingly insane.

[BTBHead213]

@MotorboatDriver Thumbwhore? What is this FunnyJunk?

[DunklerZebralord]

@BTBHead213 You're on funnyjunk? Too awesome, man. =D

[mimekiller17]

@MotorboatDriver thomas erak is not the new fag!! why would you say that?!!

[Hellion6325]

@MotorboatDriver A LIL BIT DESPERATE DER, SIR

[IntenseGamer74]

@MotorboatDriver Thomas Erak is the new Justin Bieber? Fuck Bieber, he shouldn't even be compared to Thomas Erak.

Bieber is a faggot.

Erak is a god.

[BTBHead213]

Who thinks I should change my name to MyLittlePonys4Ever? Can you even change you name? Im to lazy to try and find out. someone give me an answer.

-BTBHead213

[herbhugger]

[GOR225]

[yutakai0]

[171otis]

Hey Thomas. how do u feel about Alot Like Birds and there new step foward? :)

[cylex96]

[sellingmypokecards]

Whoever owns this youtube channel is a complete retard. Get that stupid shit off the fucking screen dumbass

[wpanda980]

It is him i study the tatoos on his arm

[SkyDav1s]

@wpanda980 >implying tattoos can't be copied

[BTBHead213]

@SkyDav1s Implying just fucking watch Act One, Scene One. God I am so tired of people saying this is not him. Not talking about dude it just gets old haha you are chill.

[wpanda980]

@SkyDav1s Stfu its him ok stop being a fucking idiot

[abadcatman]

Watch the other videos. It shows his face. Just Like Vinyl is sick btw. Cant wait for new stuff!



[CuccoOnFire]

Yeah, that's definitely Thomas. I can tell because I had to change my pants after watching this.

[Nyankocafe]

It never gets old, watching this.... I'm so jealous. If only I could play that well....

[jimhimself12]

I don't think that's Thomas Erak but that was some very impressive playing. Great job !

[BTBHead213]

@jimhimself12 Cant telling if trolling or very stupid.jpg

[JsRf13]

@jimhimself12 the tattoo on his arm gives it away.

[L0lP0j0]

@jimhimself12 You can tell it's Thomas because of the diamond tattoos on his arm.

[MatthewLeisher]

@jimhimself12 Check the tattoo bro.

[broed731]

@jimhimself12 you can tell thats its thomas from the tattoo on his arm

[fergar0206]

@broed731 Or maybe you could see the one for act one scene one where he shows his face.

[BTBHead213]

@fergar0206 Dat info.jpg

[broed731]

@fergar0206 lol its thomas erak those are both guitars he uses live, and he talks in one and he sounds like thomas erak so there for it is him

[LOLSNACKS]

@Alexthemaster1980 that's a combination of some short delay with the digitech whammy pedal on one octave down or a 3rd down harmony

[jmoneymidwest]

Look at the tattoos on the left forearm. It's obviously him.

[bigace511]

Thomas aint jelly hes gravy look at his fingaaaassss

[Alexthemaster1980]

Does anyone know what kind of effect he is using at 3:42 ?

[heislegend492]

i feel like i am not jelly because i do not know what jelly is.

[BTBHead213]

@heislegend492 You must be new to the internet. 

[heislegend492]

@BTBHead213 only because im too busy listening to the fall of troy.

[TheTylrBllmn]

Why does it stop at 1:10?

[BTBHead213]

@TheTylrBllmn What? I don't believe it does.... I'm testing it right now...

[glint20]

Oh my God... So clean. I worship your godly fingers xD

[MrLetsKillSullivanTV]

-BTBHead213



[V1nt42]

[gogopepsi]

"U Jelly?" hahaha

[BTBHead213]

@gogopepsi Are you??

[gogopepsi]

@BTBHead213 Extremely jelly. And your caption made me laugh. Thank you.

[Aidsinstatic]

I love his style of playing, hes like a spaztic Omar Rodriguez-Lopez that had a baby with Kurt Cobain, and those two are huge influences of mine. Thomas you da man homie

[MrRichardHalley]

I love how his pinky wiggles when it's not even getting any action.

[muckyukkerman]

@MrRichardHalley XD Oh man I just saw that, hilarious XD

[RuseOfTheMetacarpi]

You are truly the most amazing player I've ever seen. Thank you for taking the time to make this video, I finally learned this song just watching this. You're the man.

[WhereWTF]

2 questions... What effects pedal was Thomas using in this song?And did you shit your pants or pass out when you met him?

[Hellion6325]

He makes it look so fawking easy ;_;

[PurpleandStripes]

As a matter of fact I am jelly. Very jelly.

[BTBHead213]

@PurpleandStripes ಠ_ರೃ Indeed.



[muckyukkerman]

@BTBHead213 Yaaay I don't have any yet :D thanks :)

[muckyukkerman]

Haha, I saw this video so many times and never noticed, it's "Sidewinder" not "Side Winder"

[BTBHead213]

@muckyukkerman You are the first to notice haha Congrats :) Friend for you

[MadCow7891]

HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET THIS FOOTAGE????

[meisonillo]

Fuckin' genius!!!!!

[vatscove]

this and ex-creations are my favorite songs to cover, just simply so much fun :D and i can see why he grew his hair out.... short hair makes his face look fat D:

but hey, who needs to look good to play guitar like that? :D

[dooshyfaka]

and can someone teach me the breakdown at 1:47!!!!

[dooshyfaka]

aint it obvious this is the real him? you cant imitate swag like that

[Hellion6325]

Yes, I am Jelly..

[TurdFurgusonABF]

@Hellion6325 Me too bro :(

[pbrunner24]

Fuck jimi hendrix thomas erak ftw

[BTBHead213]

@pbrunner24 Yo dude fuck you, Jimi is AMAZING and he is one of Thomas's biggest influences ever. Thomas knows how to play many Jimi Hendrix songs.

[tazabilly]

@BTBHead213 He's probably jimi hendrix reincarnated.

[KotNascherIksDee]

which Tuning is it?

[TFOT4evr]

@KotNascherIksDee he uses E standard for this song. this is one of my fave FoT songs

[BTBHead213]

@TFOT4evr It's true.

[TFOT4evr]

@BTBHead213 i made a cover of this song, its not good but i learned it last night so i havent had alot of time to practice. obviously thomas here is wayyyyyyyyyy better than me lol :P

[beowman]

how can people not tell its Thomas? you think the guitar and tattoos would be enough, not to mention it shows his face in "act one, scene one" and he speaks if I'm not mistaken.
