[fusionteens8]

[dday12597]

[greyphoenix100]

I tuned it down to drop c it sounded really close, but i cant get it right. How much overdrive are you using?

[dragonmaster9822]

you didnt help at all....my guitar doesnt sound like yours.....

[dapillnow]

@dragonmaster9822 its called distortion

[dragonmaster9822]

@dapillnow i have had it on distortion....

[jhondrek]

thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

[homeigjdog]

this is awesome, thank you, but whats the strum pattern?

[alonsogarcia619]

hey thank you man you did it i learned

[coolheros1]

how did you get the sound how do you put the EQ? and which effect to use?

[NYcibbyRyder]

Dude nice, seriously. Just wondering what amp do you use? I'm kinda new at this (1 year playing) and bought a Mesa recto verb... I like it but yours sounds awesome!!! Maybe I'm just not dialing mine in right...

[MrX263]

Hey! Man nice sound!

What is your amp, effects or somethink?What settings you use?

[TheMaartenbaert]

Man, you are so clear, this looks easy, i gonna try this tomorrow :)

[TheNimster2]

Omg! This helped me so much! This tutorial is the best one I've seen. Thanks so much! :)

[crazyknight1177]

[iJ0k3rz]

thanks for the tutorial :D

[SirHiramMaxim]

Great tutorial! Only thing I'd suggest is a complete playthrough at the end :D

[blakeley001]

Thanks one of my favs and u tought it perfecto

[lover41893]

When you say play the top 3 strings do you mean CGC or FAD? 

[212DP]

@lover41893 CGC =)

[elessar1501]

@lover41893 He means the top 3 strings a.k.a. the thickest, the one under that, and the one under that.

[francovn4]

Sos un genio no entiendo nada de lo que hablas, pero necesitaba sacar la afinacion!! Grande...

[mxandy777]

Hey whats the AMP bass middle and trebble pls ?

[12stefy]

@mxandy777 I use bass: 7, mid: 6 and trebble: 8...that works for me but it depends on what amp you have...you can change it knowing that trebble makes the sound higher and bass makes the sound lower :) and use a lot of distorsion, around 8-9

[clanofgiants]

why is their none for acustic!aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrggggg­ggggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrCrazyfreak2]

Thank you for teaching me you r awesome :)

[NEEDENERGYGETREDBULL]

you make it so easy ;-)

[Wolfblade1992]

thanks man

[bk6710]

thank you so much!!

i love when you teach songs cause i learn them so fast! just learned this song day 1 ;)

[DMAC2296]

@cloudstrife6437 you have to make sure you have drive on ur amp up and make sure you tune to drop C. Search "how to tune to drop C" on YouTube and click the first vid u see. All you do is match the sound they play on screen to ur guitar and you'll be good man.

[oskarpalmhelmersson]

Thanks alot!

[cloudstrife6437]

I cant get the guitar to sound like this

[smarties2211]

good lesson but to fast i can't learn

[77eamonnd]

good lesson,thanks man

[Metallica42997]

thx... this helped me A LOT!

[DECIFERTHIS09]

nice i been playing 4 years i know all chords and notes and scales but never learned a full song (never took time got frustrated) other than jazz band but monster is my first song thanks bro

[MrClp1995]

you should do more video's mate, your a good teacher ;)

[Myskyloveband]

You say bad " What´s Up! ".....is WAAAAAZUPPPPPP xD

[RomanBennington]

ни хера не понимаю

[TheNoahMiester]

Or u can get a tube amp which comes w/ a peddle and you can costomize ur effects

[MrSebyfoomanchoo]

what kind of amp do u use

[TheMohak]

have u used a distortion padle in this video i m new to this so please help

[AvengedTony]

@TheMohak most amps these days have an overdrive channel. That's about the same effect as an distortion pedal. IF you're not happy with the sound of your amp's built in distortion you could consider buying a distortion pedal.

[ancient1678]

like your bandana:D:D:D

[blobjrghf]

So southereners and watched this to show off. Also, I have broke 3 picks trying to learn that tune, I FINNALY got it after 3 months...

[minieminem122]

what type of guitar do u have

[yobanaguitar14]

talk much haha DNV jijiji this cool guitar

[TheeDevilWearsPrada]

Skillet? I thought it said Skrillex lol...

[humankindslastchoice]

i put my guitar into drop C but it does not sound right at all, previously i was attempting to play rise above this by seether playing it in drop C# and then i already knew the first part of this song so i strummed that and it sounded right, like i mean spot on but i tuned it to drop C and it sounds to low, are you sure it's supposed to be in drop C and now C#? it almost sounded to low in drop C#

[krnlxndrr]

@humankindslastchoice It's definitely Drop C. Are you sure you've tuned it perfectly to Drop C?

[erkb96]

you sound like u have a southern accent. where are u from?

[pippy7767]

whoever wanted to learn how to play hero, it kinda sounds like it if u play 5,5,7,7,8,8,7,7,5,5,10,10,8,8,­7,7 on the G string ( 3rd string) and repeat, dont have a video camera or anything so i cant make a vid sorry. the numbers represent the frets on the g string btw

[Guckenator]

what is your amp settings?

[coder2100]

I cant get my guitar tuned to drop C. Its a squier fender strat. Anyone have any advice?

[THEREALMOSH2]

@coder2100 You'll need thicker strings... ask about it at a guitar shop

[EugeneCrowly]

@coder2100

play in drop d, its almost the same thing

[metallicaledzeplin]

lol learning this haha my gf's parents asked me to learn it =)

[azmgbb1]

whats ur amp settings???

[hamsterattack227]

thumbs up if u did this to show off

[halodude178]

[MadDistortion]

[masteratemu]

[chantelmegan]

[aboudi98]

what r the amp settings

how much gain, treble, middle, and bass is used

[ntinossallonica]

fackin'' awsome ooh perfect

hello from Hellas!!!

[B4MVrocks15]

great lesson man helped me out alot.. by the way what amp settings r u using

[Malgal2066]

Noob question I know.. (Im kinda teaching myself guitar here..) but you are only strumming the strings you have held down right, not all of them?

[Testify70]

@Malgal2066 most of the time. In some cases, you play an open string, and a fretted note at the same time...

[ahmadacw]

what the freak how do you do the drop c?????

[fattyifalive]

you my friend deserve a sub

[1cebluenowgreen]

Dude this is awesome. I've been trying to learn this by ear but this is actually really helping thanks

Do you need any pedals to play this song? If so, Which ones?

[Zangemarus]

Nice, your lessons are very nice, but, for this song, i prefer the lesson from this guy:

/watch?v=eoIBaQr0Bo8 , his name is BEN KASICA =D

[danmorgan77]

would you recommend going to a higher gauge of strings,for a tighter sound?

[gituerrock]

[Adi1995cv]
