[BarrioPunkRock]

[Telos41]

Nice cover :)

[BAHchikabowwow]

not bad man, check my cover out

[nachobrown95]

@BAHchikabowwow is a woman xD

[nathantoronto77]

very well done... i tried covering this song on bass and my notes were quite similar to yours, covering by ear i presume?:P

[cucumbersrkool]

yepp :]

[guitarXxEPIxXgirl]

That's pretty awesome!! I'm currently learning this song! What kind of guitar are you using?

[cucumbersrkool]

it's an epiphone les paul special II

[guitarXxEPIxXgirl]

i've got the same guitar in black, plays well eh?

[cucumbersrkool]

yea mine has the sunburst finish. :]

ehh, it's not baddd, but i got a schecter damien fr a year ago, and i gotta say i love that wayyy more because it sounds better and plays better, too.

i just don't like that i can't tune down too low unless i lower the bridge.

[guitarXxEPIxXgirl]

nice nice!! i'm working my way up for a new acoustic at the moment, Gibson Hummingbird, beautiful guitar! Sucks that you have to lower the bridge though...get's to be a pain in the ass at times

[cucumbersrkool]

oh nice. i just have a yamaha acoustic, but i really want to get one with a cutaway.

i haven't lowered it, if i wanna play anything lower than D i just use my epiphone.

how long have you been playing for?

[ExtremeGam3r64]

is that a full size guitar? somebody told me it wasnt a full size, when i said i wanted to get it, it looks and sounds nice, but im new to guitars and I dont know if its full size or not. Thanks!

[cucumbersrkool]

i'm pretty sure it's full sized...

i've never heard anyone use the term "full sized" before, i mean there are different sizes for body styles, but maybe the person meant that it's not "fully sized" in comparison to the actual les paul?

i'm not too sure on what the person you were talking about meant hahaha

but i'm full sized, so i'd use a full sized guitar hahah

[ExtremeGam3r64]

ok lol, thanks, some guitars are like made for kids, like 3/4 size or 1/2 size

[cucumbersrkool]

no problem

oh ok i hear ya hahaha

my guitar isn't for kids though, if that helps clear anything up.

[callofdutyfan94]

perfectly done. did u put this in ultimate guitar cuz i saw a tab that is almost exactly like it but with some changes.

[cucumbersrkool]

nope, ear.

i don't really like using tabs so much anymore cuz most of the ones i find are wrong.

[guitarXxEPIxXgirl]

about 4 years, 3 of those being acoustic and 1 being electric...i've just started getting into metal music...Disturbed and stuff...but i'm a little more laid back with Evanescence with my acoustic

[Koloarie]

Nice covering again..

Let me guess.. you transcribed it by ear?

If so, do you have a teacher or are you self-taught and just know what kind of music theory you should apply in a song by practicing?

[cucumbersrkool]

yea it was by ear.

and i have a guitar teacher who i've been taking lessons from for roughly 2 and a half years now.

[ricekrispy1034]

wow haha i looked up my name and this shows up. I don't even remember posting that haha. Good vid tho :)

[cucumbersrkool]

hahahaha nice

thanks :]

i put up the info like hella days ago though hahah

[ricekrispy1034]

i can imagine. i watched this over a year ago XD

[cucumbersrkool]

hahaha wow.

nicely done.

[ricekrispy1034]

:P thanks

[Tailsftw2]

that was brilliant! 6/5 ^_^

[xerosthemonk]

I got one of my best friends a disk of just BB and now he is learning this song...It is so amazing as are you in covering it. \m/(*o*)\m/

[BlueSpartan90]

[achoy23]

i hope u upload a new video lyk dis

i luv Breaking benjamin

[zookner]

nice =] wish i could play the guitar..=[ but

i want to learn the drums =D

[cucumbersrkool]

music's music dude hahah

play guitar after drums.

[stylesub]

OR, you can play guitar and drums at the same time. you can't play guitar while you're playing drums, of course, but practice 4 hours a day. 2hrs drums  2hrs guitar :D

[JayWood2010]

great job :] luv breaking benjamin, luv the song, luv the guitar playing 5/5

[cucumbersrkool]

hahah well thanks for the love thennn.

[JayWood2010]

lol of corse, anytime :]

[dom1993z]

The timing is pretty awkward aswell as it's not 100% audable :( None the less for the parts you played 5*

[cucumbersrkool]

true

like the part before the solo, it's kinda hard to hear.

thanks anyways

[dom1993z]

You should play full lead :) I would but I'm not quite sure on the timing lol.

[cucumbersrkool]

haha it's all good.

i recorded this when i first started playing guitar so i was still really hesitant about playing lead stuff.

[sneekydude]

good job. what guitar r u using?

[cucumbersrkool]

it's an epiphone les paul special II

not the greatest thing, but it was my first electric. :]

and thanks

[sneekydude]

yea i had a feeling it was an epiphone les paul II.....i dont hav an electric guitar yet but i already chose that as the first one im gonna get =) u think u cud give me an opinion on how it plays? =p

[cucumbersrkool]

it's not bad for starting.

but it goes out of tune easily

still, it's a good guitar. :]

i just recently got a schecter damien fr

fucking gorgeous BEAST. <3

[sneekydude]

lol cool. thnx =)

[cucumbersrkool]

no problem. :]

[300zxluver]

Would you wanna maybe type out a Tab or find one exactly like that cause all the ones on Ultimate guitar suck. :/

[cucumbersrkool]

i think i'd get too lazy to actually type out tabs hahah

but i could make an instructional video?

[300zxluver]

Yeah that would work at least! :D thx

[toolong46]

my fav song by bb

you're officially hot

its too bad you dont live in the bay or else youd be the luckiest girl in the world.

[cucumbersrkool]

haha uhh thanks

but i do live in the bay.

[Halo2Ollie]

On the verse, stay on C and G and do double stop 0,5,8,1 repeat, sounds better and easier movement on the neck. :)

[cucumbersrkool]

i just did a power chord so i could stay in a closer range to the other chords haha

what can i say, i was lazy

but thanks anyway :]

[23Ella12345]

DECENT! lol GREAT JOB! i love this song, man...

[kongregateownz]

When you go to the third string from the bottom and do 5---7 its a slide, not singled out. It sounds better with the slide. Other than that, great cover.

[cucumbersrkool]

oh ok.

that way i was taught was to pick it out, not slide.

thanks anyways, though

[xxtalim]

ur so good! im learning how o play the guitar =]

[killjoy987]

5/5 def..on some notes u looked like u were like tryna rush thm lol..jus find a rythem wen u play makes things much easier..it works for me lol

[cucumbersrkool]

haha nah i wasn't trying to rush the notes.

when i was recording this, my fingerwork was still hella shaky, so i wasn't comfortable moving my fingers at the time.

it's all good now. :]

[Shap1456]

wow youre really good. I'm going to try to learn this song but I doubt itll be any good. The one song I can play the best is The Bleeding by Five Finger Death Punch but i cant solo...

[cucumbersrkool]

it's a really easy song, i bet you can learn it.

and the solo's incredibly simple, i promise :]

[Shap1456]

i cant get the timing right on the intro but im going to guess that the tabs are wrong bcuz it doesnt really sound like it

[cucumbersrkool]

never use tabs.

they're barely accurate.

[Shap1456]

well the tabs for the songs that i can play are pretty acurate but the thing is im not good enough to play by ear

[cucumbersrkool]

you don't need to be good enough :]

just fiddle around til you get what sounds right.

trust me, it works

i'm not that good but i can still figure some stuff out.

[Shap1456]

lets look at it in this retrospec i was trying to record me playing the bleeding. I'm pretty decent at the first guitar. but i didnt kno the second guitar so i tried to see how it sounded and improv it but it ended up sounding like i had turrets or i was trying to eat the strings off of my guitar

[REDredy]

Learning songs by ear is the best way. I learn songs by ear, and I'm a drummer. My friends learn by ear for their guitar/bass.

[angrymallard07]

that was awsome! = ] what guitar were u using?

[cucumbersrkool]

it's an epiphone les paul special II

[synyster919]

the was really good.

the solo coulda been a little better but other then that nice.

u can check out the way i do the solo if u want

[drummerboi85]

who cares.. this chick is good.. awesome work

[cucumbersrkool]

thanks

[cucumbersrkool]

probably, i had to tune down to C by ear and with C, it usually is a little off for me.

thanks anyway.

[watchbirdx29]

where can i find the tabs for this song?

[cucumbersrkool]

i didn't use tabs.

but it's a really simple song to play, i may tab it out later.

or possibly make an instructional video, whichever would be easier.

[jetmonkeyking]

I like the rhythm guitar on this song more than the lead.

[lpfvr6]

are you usin drop B tuning?

[cucumbersrkool]

no, drop C

[AelitoKH2Vivi]

Good job. I've been wanting to learn this song for a while, and I like your cover of it.

[cucumbersrkool]

it's a very easy song to learn.

and thanks

[QuazzaDuck]

nice rockin chicka! rofl

[christop17]

Great cover! Breaking Benjamin is the best!

[HardcoreFlea]

Holy shit nice job. Sounds brilliant with your guitar over the top.

[cucumbersrkool]

[dragoonis1001]
