[MrJsmall88]

[januschicago]

@MrJsmall88 Thanks!!!!

[destury119]

Could you post the BASS tab or have a lesson? My friend and I are trying to figure it out but so far no luck...

[januschicago]

@destury119 We'll try to get to that after we finish this next record!

[zodiac255555]

I just heard this song while i was cleaning my room on "io"...yea...i didnt get a chance to finish...this song put me in a zombie killing mood...lolz...Now i want to hear more of this..

[AdamsSong22]

My band and I covered this song last year. I think it was the best recieved song of the night. It sucks you can't come play at my graduation, but good luck with the upcoming album! Love you guys and I can't wait to hear it! Do you have an expected release date for a single?

[januschicago]

@AdamsSong22 Awesome! Yeah the single is due to come out in October and the album in January!

[AdamsSong22]

@januschicago Hells yeah I'm getting that! It's gonna be very hard to top your first album. Every song was amazing which is uncommon nowadays.

[januschicago]

@AdamsSong22 Thanks! The new one is shaping up quite nicely, I think you'll love it!

[AdamsSong22]

@januschicago I hope so! I gotta see you guys live too. I seem to always miss you at concerts.

[darkdudironaji]

You should just put out tabs. It's hard for me to watch hands and get it down.

[januschicago]

@darkdudironaji I really should...when I get the time I will. In the middle of making the next record right now though!

[NautifyJagger]

Nice...Whenever I learn to play my guitar, chances are I'll try to learn this :D

[cabooservb01]

[jbulger666]

@januschicago il get the record the min i hear its out!!!!!!

[credor2]

anyone know what amp settings or effect pedals to use for their tone? i have a pod ux2 so if anyone has their tone for that pm me. or just your knob settings + pedals. would greatly be apreciated :)

[januschicago]

@credor2 Verse1 is a mix of distortion, delay, and verb. Verse2 is a mix of delay and verb with a rolled back distortion mixed in. All the choruses and bridge use high gain distortion dry.

[phantomjoe57]

what gage picks do you use

[januschicago]

@phantomjoe57 I use .73 gauge picks. I used to use dunlops, but now we have some custom ones. Not sure what they are, but they feel like dunlops.

[ninjapie117]

 i wish i could see the way he was picking the whole time :(

[demonstestification]

thanks for the lesson dude. ive been wanting to learn this after i went to see you guys at Higherground. this is a really heavy song

[demonstestification]

[tman6677]

[KMVintageRocker]

[januschicago]

@KMVintageRocker No prob...I'm sure you'll get it!

[tman6677]

hey what gauge strings do you use on ur guitar?

[januschicago]

Respond to this video... I use D'Addario light jazz which is a 52 on the low C and a 12 on the high D.

[januschicago]

@januschicago Now I'm actually using S.I.T. strings 60 on the low C and 11 on the high D.

[xXLIVE4THEMOMENTXx1]

[R0M4NC4ND1E52]

you guys should make a bass lesson for us bass players

[UltimaFan1o]

cool thanks.

[UltimaFan1o]

cool thanks

[UltimaFan1o]

hey i have a line 6( spider 3) amp, what settings should i put it at?

[januschicago]

@UltimaFan1o Good question cause every amp is different. You'll have to experiment with your tone to try and match what you're hearing. As far as fx go, you should check out using a mix of delays and revebs for some of the parts in the verse.

[M34TYD1CK94]

There needs to be a bass lesson for this.

[DjDisasterOfficial]

eyesore is the best music vid ever. not only is it a great song but it matches the epic vid.

[debo326]

I love your inlays!!!

[gamester697]

Any chance of getting some tabs

[lukeherzog]

great song and your adivce on just learning is great. i have been playing a year and thats pretty much how i have done it. i am taking lessons now but playing songs you like difinitely has helped me

[sputnik163]

MIKE PWNS AT LIFE

[underzenith]

Any advice to a brand new guitar player learning the instrument from a blank slate?

[januschicago]

It's always helpful to take some lessons when starting out to get some fundamentals down. Other than that, I learned by trying to play my favorite bands songs. Doing that also helps develop your ear.

[IAR440]

Jesus man the sound is so clear great song by the way loved it

[DarkDragonAdal]

great job! i got a question, where's the tab for this song? I wanna know. Thanks.

[redcthulhu]

Thanks a lot, Mike, the tabs that are out there for this aren't the best.

[gavenxtremes26]

awesome song!

[ew87301]

Linkin, Whats up bro. You were close. Good stuff Mike, thanks for the posting.

[ew87301]

Tonight is the first time I tried to play this. I was trying by ear, not too easy. I even watched LinkinPK1 fans video, interesting. Thanks for posting this.

[forsakenmagic]

Mike u rock, thnx for posting this!!!

[7DaySonnet]

Dude, Mike, get that damn tape off of your PRS, mang! Need me to fix it again? ;-) See you on the 23rd. We're gonna show Chicago how to put on a rock show!

-Jordon, Seven Day Sonnet

[SeanSchecter]
