Protest The Hero - Sequoia Throne (cover) E

[PeanutButterGtr]

YES!!! I AM THE 100TH PERSON TO LIKE THIS VIDEO!!!

[MauledByAChicken]

it sounds really intense in E! and you dont have to tune everything down a frickin' half step.

[xx76rockstar76xx]

who cares if he's doing it right or not. it sounds fucking awsome. Good job

[richardleisawesome]

I'm glad you're an older that doesn't always play classic rock. Not there's any thing with classic rock.

[TylarBoyle]

your not doing the tapping right in some parts

[crazytrain43]

God the tapping on this song is damn hard

[SatansBitch555]

your sweep picking at the end blew me away!

nice job mate :) keep it up :)

[PricedDoughnut]

The part right after 2:24 blows my mind.

[SwallowedByTheTide]

You are the man.

[RaiderA528M]

Seriously great guitar playing,

your sweep picking is so fluid, you've got an epic right hand technique for them sweepies right there!!! :D

And I'd love to see some of your originals, do you have any posted up here by any chance?

[JonGuitar05]

Does anyone know what that black thing is at the top of the neck? Still in the learning process so I just want to know. :)

[bradIBZ44]

@JonGuitar05 It's called a locking nut, used on guitars with floating bridges. It makes sure that the strings dont go out of tune when you use the tremelo (wammy bar). Very handy :p

[smellzlikekushx420x]

great cover dude, it sounded dead on note for note. And that's a beautiful Ibanez you've got there. its what made me watch the video :)

[Ziggyflavel1]

Great job

[naokimono]

goooooooooooooooooooooood~~

[WarriorArrow]

You should make a short tutorial for the sweeps at the end. ;8)

[WarriorArrow]

What tuning is pth in?

[Hardspade55]

@WarriorArrow There Half a step down from E Standard.

[antman95]

what guitar are you using?

[dilbravishla]

The sweeps at 2:55 made me cream. Thank you.

[Revenchist6]

pretty damn close, you put my guitar to shames

[volcomskaterkid07]

this is amazing!

[ovjho]

you must legit have ogre crushing hands. Ibanez doesnt make a Mikro with a locking trem. Really fluid. Almost as clean as Hoskin himself.

[guitardude199420]

damn dude awesome sweeps. very clean

[spicer4life]

dude dint say sorry in your description cuz that was badass. youve got your timing down good and you shred great

[CmajAmin88]

do you have the worlds largest hands or is that guitar a mikro? Sweet cover man!

[sizzleby]

That was actually really, really impressive

[Cryptopsy666]

I still think this is the best cover of this song on youtube. You just gotta get the soun sorted out bro. Killer chops though!

[shredder2099]

how did you get the track in E?this is like the only thing Ive found to play along with without dropping my guitar a half step.. and i have a lock, and i teach, so im stuck there..

[SayNoToFannyPacks]

you're going to have to "pitch shift", "transpose" or "time stretch" with software (ex: cubase, acid, vegas, sonar, protools, audition, audacity, guitar rig, etc.)

[shredder2099]

@SayNoToFannyPacks Cool. Ya i figured it must be somethin like that. the only thing ive ever had to do that was my Tascam GT.

[kburgess32]

@shredder2099 try downloading the program audacity.. you can do alot with it like pitch shifting songs

[JackofSpades52]

Thats just freaking awesome honestly, i have started listening to this band and would love to play some of their stuff do you have any kind of tips? I mean from what i'm used to playing this is pretty much a new style for me lol

[SayNoToFannyPacks]

my advice.... just jump right in. get the tabs and go for it. don't take short cuts.

[JackofSpades52]

thank you for the awesome tip :)

[braaaainz]

lovely sweeping at the end.

[StueySkies]

like how the fuk man thats awsum howd ya bridge that gap from intermidiate to expert?

[SayNoToFannyPacks]

the "intermidiate" level is by FAR the longest in my opinion. Just take your time, learn things correctly and you'll just make the transition over time. you won't even see it coming... it'll just happen!

-Jay

[AlmostxDeadx]

what does the E stand for?

[SBSexpress]

the tuning

E Standard.

Low to High

E -A-D-G-B-e

[AlmostxDeadx]

ight

[SBSexpress]

hah, does that make sense at all ? :P

[pickleboy1219]

wat guitar is that? b/c im pretty sure ryan knight from the black dahlia murder uses that same one

[pdpM4rc0]

simple

you'r awesome man

keep alive¡¡ XD

live all metal music¡¡¡

[BlackerThanSnow]

You killed, those arpeggios at the end. You got tabs for this?

[SayNoToFannyPacks]

I think I did this one mostly by ear because the tab that I found was wandering off course so much. I did NOT re-tab it :(

[outonguard]

Why aren't you? Dude, there's a ton of people out there that'd give a right testicle to have a player like you in their band.

[outonguard]

Dude... are you in a band??? link??

[SayNoToFannyPacks]

no, I wish...

[StewieSwan]

Same guitar as in the new Black Dahlia Murder video. Awesome

[FastbackGTOne1]

I just have to say the RG550 is sick. Badass cover too. Rock on!

[dashsm]

that was awesome

but can you do it standing up

not that i can but no one does covers standing

[SayNoToFannyPacks]

Yes. I usually have to spend about 8 - 10 mins warming up and getting used to the new position, but... yeah. I play through my entire 'playlist' standing every couple of months or so.

[MetaICowboy]

the music is too loud

great cover..

[aplatefullofourdead]

sick taps

[pstriple360box]

i love your guitar

[Phoney101]

You do realize that you can fuck up your guitar by changing tunings too much? Thats more than likely the reasoning he didnt down tune.

Good job on the cover by the way.

[JaymzRG]

yeah man thats true it'll wear out the strings!

[JDawg983]

It doesn't do anything to the body does it? I'm a newb with a POS guitar, so it doesn't really matter too much to me. I'm just curious.

[IgneousWarrior]

@Phoney101

Not really. It only messes things up if you don't set it up correctly when changing tunings. If you use the right gauge strings, keep the bridge at the right amount of tension and change the truss rod as necessary, you're not going to damage your guitar.

[wims09]

chill the fuck out ShreddyKrueger

[Bandjalah]

Very nice though! :D \m/

btw check my vidz ;)

[gibsonrocker121]

also ur a ranga so gnar

[kevstew26]

Hey good job man. I have a floating trem and tuning is a bitch. I have so many troubles with my bridge acting on an angle cause of changing the tuning. I fixed it somewhat but it's an annoying process

I did a cover of this song too on guitar it would be cool if you checked it :)

[Progrock101]

nice what was harder this or crossing the rubicon

[SayNoToFannyPacks]

For me, Rubicon difficulty = 6, and this = 7.5

[ZackyPeddle]

fuck

[dipsie1789]

awesome, sick guitar

[bunnyman135]

fuckin owned. lmao

[Condortheburninator]

Good job man. Props on playing the guitar the classical way.

[frivilotipo]

good cover. a person who can play that song in that way deservean ovation.

[yeahyeahyeahz2345]

that was fucking awesome man. Im still learning this song.

[fluffnuzzler258]

get raped!

[HeadBangAllDay]

The way your fingers move is just so perfect!

[DocPlop]

HAHAhA BURNED

[SayNoToFannyPacks]

You're 27 years old and making comments like this? ... and no videos of you playing guitar? Wow.

I notice your name "gibson"... I assume you dont have a locking trem so you don't understand the hassle of retuning 3 to 5 times in one day.

[reignproduction]

yeah, locking trems really make it difficult to switch tunings, and with the it being a difference of a half step it doesnt matter, you understand that hes a great guitar player and can play the song pretty much without flaw. by the way gibsons are pretty much shit.

[SayNoToFannyPacks]

Thanks for gettin' my back! haha

[Sublime692]

In a good way of course haha.

[S34Nowns]

ohai lolol

[Sublime692]

That was absolutely ridiculous, you destroyed that.

[LeSPauldude45]

so wait how did u change the pitch of the song, with like audactiy or similar audio program? sick playing btw

[OrySmith]

thats awesome. i cant even dream of playing something like that

[asilaydyingBH]

im lovin the paul gilbert guitar:P

[gibshall]

Nah man that isn't a Gilbert series. It's the RG550 anniversary model that ibanez had out a few years ago.

[adrenalynejunky]

totally sick dude o_0

[lagordita149]

amazing ;]

[Gondor47]

SICK COVER MAN!!! gotta love protest the hero! :), what guitar is that?? it looks nice !-love the colour sceme and neck!

[SayNoToFannyPacks]

Ibanez Rg550 20th Anniv. Ed.

[tsunami2011]

nice i got an Rg 220 its got a gunmetal gray to it which is why i picked it mainly

[Cameron227700]

Hey, was there any reason you morphed the song a half step up? Is it easier for you to tap that or something?

[SayNoToFannyPacks]

I play so many covers and so often that it is easier for me to play one guitar in one tuning and transpose all of the songs to match me instead of stopping to retune every 10 minutes. That's all.

[mikums666]

need tab

[nickhobs]

siickkkkkkk dude

[DarkRikaru]

God, you're fuckin awesome

[Mimimhm]

respect man ;)

[hotgymnast67]

can someone tell me the tab for the intro?

[AesthyrianBand]

HOLY FUCK YOU ARE AWESOME

[stringshredder]

Lovin' the super nice guitar!

[thrilleroseven]

cool! did you figure that all on your own?

[MrFreeman665]

man that was seriously good, i've been trying to learn this one...i get stuck on the sweeps...i can't do sweeps well. keep it up dude

[flamingmonkeys12]

what tuning??

[ESP4thaWin]

omfg retard

[XDCHAOS]

Sick video. Keep it up.

[delinquent3241]

love that guitar i got a presige but really wanted that one seriously love that...

[AintheUK]

HOLY SHIT THAT WAS AMAZING

[deathbysea4me87]

hey youre really good man, tuning is in Eb though, thats your only real flaw. dont listen to any haters. keep it up.

[plguitarist25]

your playing the tapping part at the begining wrong but other than that great job!

[SayNoToFannyPacks]

yeah, I know I know. I learned that section and put the tapping off till later. As I played along with the track, I just improved through the tapping and thats the pattern I kept hitting. I liked it a bit better than the track's so I kept playing it my way. Thanks!

[TJxsoul]

Beastly Dude

[ccendana]

freakin good mannnn... merry christmas!

[SayNoToFannyPacks]

Merry Xmas ...better late than never.

[aRazorsEloquence]
