NEVER GIVE IN! and please guys, never stop. You don't know how your music make me so strong.

Thank you for being you♥

[xLos3rFac3x]

The 2 people that disliked this obviously didn't realise what a legacy that this band are leaving in their wake.

[MrJohnnieestormm]

[MiaPittsXD]

jake pitts i love you your guitar playing is fucking ledgened!!!!

[RamboVan1]

Well this is 16th time I'm watching this. And i got it. thanks man. 

[XxxEMOWULFxxX]

I always wanted to learn this song! Thx Jake! By the way, Ashley responded my email confirming it was him and asked who I was. I said I am just a fan of BVB and then he started to ignore me. No offense but he doesnt care about the fans like u do. Thx Jake again without us fans u guys would never be who u are today! BVB FOREVER <3

[MeggieSixx]

This fucking kicks ass!! i want to learn guitar now

[fnxL]

CC on Jake Pitts' SHIRT !!!

[RedDieselHenry]

i wish i could play as fast as you

[TheSnake1eater]

He is good and all, but not the best you guys, dont let your fanatism blind you. he is fast but not that fast and what he is playing isnt that hard to play once you been playing quite a while, if you are starting to play guitar then everything is going to be hard hahaha, Im just saying guys dont start a riot or a rant cuz of this, im just saying.

[SloaneLuvsU]

He is the reason why I started playing guitar again. Everytime I tell someone "Jake Pitts is my guitar teacher." they look at me like Im high, lol.

[TheYuLiSSa87]

I love how he plays the guitar !! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[MissElecktra6]

[ullerman002]

[sandrodjuran]

i swear your girlfriend must be very happy (if you get my drift mehehehe)

[BenjiXbass]

You should make Ashley put up a bass lesson, I can find tabs anywhere for Legacy :]

[MsRootbeer4444]

Jake: And then you do this and this and this (fingers move like lightening) and tada! It sounds epic as hell! (:

Me: (Looks at the computer all confused like)

Lol, might be able to play a piccolo that fast but I dont think in my wildest dreams I could ever play guitar like that. XP

[Gunnar445]

Jake you should post tabs with it also

[joshpascu777]

ur awsome jake,love ur band.

[AnnaTheMuseFreak]

It's so great that you actually take the time to post lessons. It's amazing. I'm going to show these to my friends as we want to start a band and we want to do covers of you guys. Ask CC or Ashley to post tutorials too?

[BrokenSouulx]

My sister...

"Dreaming over him, having dreamy eyes" She says "Hes soooo good at the guitar " "stares at screen"

Gosh. Shes a nutt. I got her in too Bvb when ever I listen too them shes like.. WHERE IS JAKEEE!

WHERES MYY BOYY!

BVB FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3

[xXductapedshutXx]

Seriously jake you should convince ashley to put a video of playing is bass up so bass player can learn from him :)

[Megdidar]

You have a seriously awesome collection of mockingbirds.

[dagodfada99]

Have you ever made tabs for these songs? It's so hard to learn them because im lefthanded and its freakin hard to transfer from watching you to my left hand. You should make tabs if you havent :)

[SavannahHeartsBVB]

[a7xmcrislife]

Jake, you and your whole band are so amazing and inspirational. I love how you're one of the most famous and most talented guitarists ever and yet you still take time to post guitar lessons for your fans and reply to their comments. I wish every musician was as humble and truly talented as your are. Thanks for being awesome.

[MrsSomebody2love]

[A7XFOREVER217]

@JakePittsBVB fuck all the jealous Fake fangirls too be honest thats the only thing negative about bvb, the fact that half of the fans are girls and Its hard to find another dude my age whos a fan, and can see that you guys are bringing back rock n roll as it should be :L keep rocking though dude, you guys fucking ROCK no matter what anyone says!!!! :)

[oslodark666]

@A7XFOREVER217 This is a smart comment!

[RamboVan1]

@A7XFOREVER217 I'm with you 100% on that man. I beet if you ask those fangirls they won't even know a BVB song.

[MrKeto9000]

@JakePittsBVB i think its cool how someone in a world famous band, takes the time to post guitar lesson vids on youtube, it shows you really care about the fans and i really admire that

oh and i was thinking about getting a mockingbird pro x would you recommend this?. thanks again man :)

[FamousxPanda45]

Can someone tell me what the last scale run is at the end of the solo I can't figure out the whole thing it's pissing me off

[BIGxBOSSxx1]

I watched this with my guitar in my lap hoping to be able to play along.

But when he played the solo I was like

'Why do I even try'

You're amazing Jake :)

[KeeeenxD]

Hey Jake, what scales do you use compose your riffs, solos and harmonies? HELP ME PLEASE! THANKS IN ADVANCE! =)))

[JakePittsBVB]

@KeeeenxD All different types, I don't focus on using them when i'm writing, I just play and when something cool comes out I go off of that.

[KeeeenxD]

@JakePittsBVB could you tell us some of those "All different types"? thanks again! xD

[xAriTheGhostx]

Hey Jake. I don't think you would read this, but who knows. I'm planning on getting a electric guitar soon. DO you have any suggestions about guitars, amps, or petals? I really want to become a great guitarist like you and Jinxx. Any advice would help. Thanks! :D

[behindyou64]

Thank you jake pitts, you said me pedals arent the key for a great tone, So i bought a Line6 spider IV 30 Watts, and my Tone is fucking Awsome.

I just gotta buy a good Cam for record me and upload my covers, I hope you see them jake, i've been fan of you since i know black veil brides, i think you are the best guitarrist on world man!!!! my dream is play guitar with you and jinxx!!

[thatonekid365]

If only it didn't buffer every 20 seconds.

Anyways, I doubt you see this, but what kind of of amp and guitar would you recommend for a beginner, just learning how to play?

[Natalishy]

This makes me wish I could play guitar.

[fullenglish3]

just a quick question, how long have you been playing guitar? i'd like to be able to play like this one day :D

[saritatata101]

this sounds firetrucking amazing....i love you :3

[Patdfreek34]

me and my buddy are planning on recording an album this weekend on our own with sony acid music studio... any Advice? and any thought on the program? i barely have a grasp on how it works :\ also we are doing this all by ourselves with shit equipment so i will be doing the rhythms, some leads and vocals and giving the drums sort of a direction will he does most leads bass and sings and drums as well if you commented back it would be much appreciated

[MrAvenger101]

i wish i could play lead guitar like you do but right know i dnt got speed like u do and u are one of the people who inspired me to play lead guitar.

[ShadowOfDawn10]

@JakePittsBVB I just wanted to say thank you for showing the world what real rock is. Also is it possible you could do a lesson for unholy or love isn't always fair?

-to the greatest gutairist ever :)

[KatieFoREVerA7X]

Hey Jake my friends have a band and they've asked me to be rythm guitarist, and I was wondering if you have any good tips for me and I'm gonna keep trying and hopefully I can even get about 5% of yours and Jinxx's talent, so yeah any tips?

[TheVaccation]

[HoneyMapleSryup90]

Your awseome JAKE !!!!! :D

[ariorocks]

*vocalist/lead guitarist

[ariorocks]

@JakePittsBVB hi Jake , you are one of the greatest guitarists in the universe (including alien guitarists) and a great inspiration to me , I have been tweaking with my amp and POD X3 for 6 months to get your tone , could you help me out?

could you send the settings on your POD XT and amp or just upload a tone on line6's website ?

I'm making a band and I'm the vocalistllead guitarist , hope that you'll listen to our tracks soon

[TheForeverDarkest]

What amp is he using? It sounds great. Does anybody possibly know? I'll be your best friend if you tell me.

[JakePittsBVB]

@TheForeverDarkest I'm not using an amp. Just a POD XT direct to a digi003 recorded with pro tools and a sansamp plugin

[TheForeverDarkest]

@JakePittsBVB Ah, I see. It just sounds so fantastic. You're the best. Thank you ever so much.

[Nablulus]
