[SickWish6]

epic man join a band get rich

[Siupej666]

great cover dude :D

i am playing guitar for 11 months and i'm learning this song for 2 weeks nearly every day...there are still some parts that are hard to play for me because of the speed

[i4m3rr0r]

The fast palm mutes on the e string in the intro are quiet tricky but the rest of the song is not that hard.

Your cover is very good btw.

[acmaddc]

Check out my version of playing this song on my channel! Btw nice job playing this song dude its not an easy one and you pulled it off amazingly

[warabout]

this song is ultra easy to play

[JaredBobRumsey]

I've been playing guitar for 3 years now, and I JUST started playing this song. In my opinion it is a good song to practice alternate picking in, I also think it is more FUN than Challenging. Plus, if anyone is wanting to put a cover of this song on YouTube, i would suggest practicing fast palm mutes and find a way to Filter the grungy sound to make it more clean and clear WITH distortion. :)

[MattBeardyKH202]

@JaredBobRumsey i agree with you 100%

this song is TOO fun to play...my dad told me to stop with this "shit" song, lmfaoo

[MisticWays]

@MattBeardyKH202 I've broken strings before playing songs like this that are too hardcore, i went too hard on the poor little strings xD Gauge 54 lol xDDD

[mezmurized1]

@JaredBobRumsey

thats exactly what im working on. ive played bass for 4 years and just picked up guitar, playing with my fingers for so long, its sorta tricky using a pick and not sounding too sloppy with distortion. but good cover mi dude

[NiveK686]

Awesome Cover man!

[EhRafaa]

Awesome Cover i ever see in youtube :D btw can you tell me whats the volumen and those thing of yoiur amp? please :D

[GJAndJCVideos]

what tuning is the song in dude...nice cover btw

[guitars357]

@GJAndJCVideos it's in drop c C g c f a d I think :P

[616HC]

sweet, I made a cover of the song too incase u wanna check it out :D

[MoarteaMG]

DUDE U ARE FUCKIN AWESOME

[Lloydjrluvop]

this is awsome !!!!!!!

[azorath16]

IIm also trying to learn this song. DO u play the intro with downpicking or alternate?

[jeffnieuw]

work on your timing! For the rest good cover man!

[samyoda54]

You can put the tab plz ?

[Baby6att]

Check out my cover of Through Struggle and tell me what you think. also check my other guitar videos. thanx

[sikatpb]

[bigassmatic]

@sikatpb dude downpicking is the shit

[JoeySkate24]

if you wanna practise that kinda music on guitar try bmth - a lot like vegas.. omg rules.. whatever mate this is good shit .. like(Y) 

[DeusExCanadensis]

I just recently posted a video of my cover of this song. I think you did a really great job on this! Love the the video style. Also love how much your playing stands out from the actual track. I would love to know how you recorded this, I want to start playing more covers and my recording technique right now is a little iffy. Keep playing!

[guitarocist]

YAA!!!!! EXCELLENT rythm hand lol i got the intro down ^_^ hehehehe so im happy lol jst get lazy to learn the full song SOOOO MANY NOTES! lmao but kudos to u keep playing =]

[InFuriatedShadows]

WAT AMP CHU GAWT?

[Revilingfool]

i dont know how you downpick that fast in the intro....i just cant do it.. ha good cover one of my favorite songs to play by far

[mkwalters88]

the best through struggle cover on you tube also very helpful on some trouble i was having thanks dude

[XVCnickski]

But i'm practicing for an hour now, got everything right except a part in the refrain and some minor mistakes, but it goed very well xD

[XVCnickski]

@DIExMFxDIE

Yeah but i play like 1 year so it's harder for me then for you.

[ltcode2]

is dis drop c bro??

[SilentSandwich]

@ltcode2

Yeah

[juanma9204]

as tuning you use to play that guitar and want to know what kind of distortion pedal or you meising

amazing cover

[TheCeejj]

nice job bro..were did u get those tabs??

[aZeZiNaDeBiShOz]

0:37 ???

[graffthemetalhead]

@aZeZiNaDeBiShOz whats wrong with it?

[repkoO]

oh, thats awesome

[lahbl]

That's some amazing picking buddy, good work :)

[bleedingagony708]

so clean! AMAZING!

[ticalxx421]

Nice Work dude!

[lonewolf111113456]

the song really isnt THAT hard...the intro is good for beginners its really easy..and the verse isnt to hard either and ive practiced this song for a few hours....

[AsITimDying]

@lonewolf111113456: in my opinion the intro is the hardest part of the song ;P

[timmee2891]

@AsITimDying what the open c power chord played once over 8 beats and repeat?

[nosweepinginnj]

@AsITimDying interesting, i thought it was the easiest

[InAutunmsDecent]

@AsITimDying lol the intro is the easiest part haha(;

[AsITimDying]

@InAutunmsDecent haha yeah could be but i think fast parts are easier xD

[TheGr33k13]

@AsITimDying lol then i should have learned this song a year ago

[TIM3TOSHR3D]

@AsITimDying really? thats the easiest part for me.

[vivsansanviv]

@AsITimDying totally agree with u ;) ......was practicing it 

[remleism]

@AsITimDying what? the following riff is way harder...if you want to get it clean and fluid that is.

[Son1c1711]

@AsITimDying mh nope , the chorus

[mezmurized1]

@AsITimDying

not evennnnn. haha but i can see where you're coming from. in my opinion its the riff at 1:17

[nailc0re]

i'd say that keeping up with the original speed is the most challenging part about this song. its kinda fast so you gotta make sure to practice with your metronome ;) otherwise it wont be tight. but the riffs are definately doable.

[Hellbringer666movies]

yea its quite an easy song to play i just have torbble with changing strings wise i am alternate picking so i have to do it all down stroke and its has to keep up sometimes... i guess practice will get me through it

[MetalPower86]

yeah for me alternate picking is just something that ive gotten comfortable with and its how i play this song, i have a cover on my account on how I play this song

[MiesoPL]

wymiatasz...

[Sisko182]

I don't know why everyone keeps saying he is doing just downstrokes; he's not.

[Justinmetal4ever]

yea i agree, once you master alternate picking it comes easier.... and dude slow down on the alternate triplets, when you playing verse. And in this vid he is not only using downstrokes...you can here him alternating

[xXEsPLoVeRXx]

yea dude all downstrokes i give you massive credit. this is a great cover man good job.

[wingeddemon5807]

its easier with downstrokes. alternates can get confusing

[r44cker]

I think its easier with alternates.

[RubenCastill]

love this song awesome playing man

[viperabs]

Good god, you did that all with down strokes? Creds, but you're working far too hard for what you could be doing alternate picking.

[TheElectricLion]

wow brilliant !

[InFlames3794]

Oh yeah!!! F**** great cover guy!!!

Nice Guitarplayer^^

[H8000addicted]

f*ckin great song and f*ckin great cover

nice work bro!

[TylerPerreault20]

Fuckin awesome cover man keep it up!!!

[cheesewiz55]

Iv'e been playing for 8 months, and I learnt this song on my 5th month. Everyday I would practice a minimum 2hours a day.

[jackieeethepwner]

i wish i was as good a picker as you :O

[tkhasser]

how long a guitarist have to play guitar to play this song?

Or how long does it take by you?

sry for my englisch!

[kretobojca]

I play electric guitar about a year. Train your right hand and listen to song, cause the tabs are wrong and hard, so you must play some parts from ears

[cheffboyardee123]

you can probably learn this song by practicing every day for about 6 months... picking is what you should focus on the most.....its all about dedication

[Twiggyassassin]

who cares if its easier? its a great song. and this guy has an amazing cover. i wish i could play like that im tryin to learn the song rite now. sick cover man

[lenlen3]

this song's secret is how fast is your right hand(if your right handed)

this is hard if your right hand is slow

[ComentatorOnly]

aaaaawesome cover have got tabs for it ?? if yes pls send me a message

[chefgomez]

tabs gibb meh D:

[shurewhynot9]

u got some sick ass down strokes

[InFuriatedShadows]

What amp ya using and what pickups?

[skoolsforfools123]

That was insane! I'm just starting guitar and im trying to learn this song

[StevenJones100]

that will take a hell of a lot of practice dude, the pull offs in intro are hard , the verse is complicated and fast, the full song is friken insane, you wont learn it anytime soon if youve just started : P

[22Rocker22]

I wouldnt suggest this song for many reasons

The tuning is drop c

Its not the easier song to play

It had difficult hand positions for a beginner

You'd most likely get too frustrated with it

Try learning easier stuff 1st, then move onto AILD :D

[leeea7x]

stop being a downer 22 rocker22

[swedenlinerdude]

this song really is pretty easy.. >_> i learnt it after a month or two of playing..

but you have to admit its one of the easier songs in this genre. therefore if you only listen to this kind of music it can be a pretty good song to start with..

[InFlam3sW3Trust]

I highly doubt that man..the techniques required for this song take more than a couple months of practice. This is not one of the easier songs in the genre..trust me there are easier ones, this one is more on the difficult side. So unless you have some proof that you can play the song and can prove you only played guitar for a month or two, i call bull shit.

[swedenlinerdude]

lol i played guitar hero for 1 yeear and started playin guitar.. maybe thats the reason why i learnt it so fast.. i cant really proove that i played it aftar a month or two but i can defninitly say that it took me most 3 months of playing to get it down

[angel99joe]

IDK about a couple months of practice... i still consider myself a beginner cuz i started in march this year. But i took 2 hours to learn this song, and i got most of the parts pretty decent (for a beginner). Idk. I'm picking up guitar pretty fast compared to others.

[deathonics]

@InFlam3sW3Trust lol you call this hard

[XVCnickski]

@InFlam3sW3Trust

How long do you think it takes an average guitarist to learn this? (how many years experience?)

[nosweepinginnj]

@XVCnickski i learned it easily at about 5 months playing

[nosweepinginnj]

@InFlam3sW3Trust lol i dont care if you believe me, I play guitar all the time and I have a gift for music, its probably genetics or something i learned it in 20-30 minutes just like any other song i know and if you decide not to believe me then i really don't care, I know my ability and thats all that matters, forget about incredulous people like you

[jesusvalles54]

@nosweepinginnj so?...has anybody heard you play the song as living proof that you learned it fast? or are you one of those weird freaks who says that there good but they totally suck?

[nosweepinginnj]

@jesusvalles54 yes people have

[vexrob]

@nosweepinginnj no this song is easy

[nosweepinginnj]

@vexrob no shit

[MetalPower86]

@InFlam3sW3Trust love your comment, please watch my cover of this song, you will not be dissapointed

[SUPitsDave]

@InFlam3sW3Trust ... i love the song and i love aild.. but i don't agree at all dude... i've only been playin a a year and a half and i've just about got this song down.. just cleaning it up...

I find August Burns Red's stuff quite hard... the offbeat stuff that they do it crazy

[RockstarDaniel]

@InFlam3sW3Trust this song is pretty easy o_o

[InFlam3sW3Trust]

@RockstarDaniel; Pretty easy for somebody that can play, yes. To be able to play this song cleanly, you most certainly need more than a couple months of experience lol.

[RockstarDaniel]

@InFlam3sW3Trust cleanly maybe more than a couple of months

[codey1994]

@InFlam3sW3Trust Well then ask him to play the song with no music in the background. Then we wil see if he can play

[fabiorod91]

@InFlam3sW3Trust nope bro it took a bit more than a month to learn and play the whole song, metalcore is not easy on guitar but if you compare this song with any from august burns red, you'll realize how easy this one is, trust me, reliability: a lot of practice :)

[lunchbox118]

@InFlam3sW3Trust LAWL I learned this in like 2 weeks. Its easy as tits. and im talking like 2 weeks to make it smooth, I had the chords memorized in 3 days.

[InFlam3sW3Trust]

@lunchbox118; I'm not saying the song takes more than a couple months for a moderate guitar player to learn, I said that the techniques required to play the song take more than a couple months to learn. I'm talking from the first moment you pick up your first guitar. I learned this song in like 10 minutes, it's repetitive like most songs, but that doesn't make it any easier to initially learn the proper techniques required for playing them.

[Seph1231]

@InFlam3sW3Trust actually im a moderate guitar player and I learned it in 2 days...

[InFlam3sW3Trust]

@Seph1231; You STILL miss the point. I am NOT talking about the song its self. I'm talking about the TECHNIQUES. Repeat. TECHNIQUES required before being able to learn the song. As I said, I learned this song in 10 minutes, the actual song is not the problem. From the first moment you pick up the guitar, it takes more than a couple months of practice to develop the techniques and refine the techniques required to play a song like this smoothly and easily.

[Seph1231]

@InFlam3sW3Trust ah well yeah im sorry I didnt understand what you was trying to say but now I understand and... yes you are right

[kretobojca]

No. If you learn some kind of this music and you play it for training this can be easy. I play it when it's boing. As long i play it, other songs are easier

[UnderworldsMostHated]

The Darkest Night is an easier one to start with

[1seedeadpeop1e]

brilliant!

[persons233]

you treat us christians like we are some kind of perfection... or a saint, and we are not

[DBZ4life111]

skatemaster4900... stupidest isnt a word.... irony? I THINK SO

[skatemaster4900]

god i hate wen ppl ask if there only playing with three strings that is the stupidest question

[ZacZac0475]

Is it just me or is he only playing with three strings?

[StevenJones100]

yeah lol

[ZacZac0475]

I was just asking. You don't need to try and start shit. Yes i do play guitar as a matter of fact. I'm not Jimi Hendrix, but I can play decently. So quit being a dick.

[LtotheX90]

Great job man!!!

How long have you been playing guitar?

[diditahu]

hmmmm

[jebbediah1]

yeah dude work on ur harmonics, it makes playing alot better

[InFuriatedShadows]

What amp ya using?

[dakotaraypacker]

this is my favorite song to play i think he plays it a bit better than me though

[morbidmoshpitx]

drop C

[LedZepFan422]

drop C?? or D

[crossajay]

c mate

[InkedOutNailClippers]

its called summer vacation, so FUCK YOU BIC BOIII, fuck all tha vietnamesse peepo, fuck all dem lika bullofshit

[DeathMetalist333]

ya i watched Ownage Pranks too.

[InkedOutNailClippers]

aha some good shit

[DeanDMC121]

I've been playing the guitar for a year and a half now, still im not even 1/8th on how good this guy plays :\

[InkedOutNailClippers]

then stop playing

[DeanDMC121]

Oh shut up who asked you anyway?

Besides i dont have enough time to practice anyway, Unlike you i have a life :D

[InkedOutNailClippers]

i won this round....CHINKY!

[ESPguitars48]

and thats why you suck...

[DeanDMC121]

Some christian you turn out to be..

[ESPguitars48]

ok, so what a christain cant say somebody sucks at something? dude you just need to lighten up, like you've never said somebody sucked at something, theres nothing un christain about it if its the truth d00d...

[csmorgan]

its not about what you say, if you go out of your way to bring someone down and make fun of them in no way does that show that your a christian

[AntiAP09]

Practice the song slowly.

[grunge313]

u make seem like it is much more diffycult than it is dont know why

[grunge313]

great....need an accurate tab link if u can

[TheGr33k13]

what guitar are u using?

[GuitarHeroAnton]

i love the intro !!!!!! <3

[rammknot13]

your video is very good ^^

5 star :)

[almostask8er95]

damn

[MetalPower86]

VERY good, really liking this cover for its accuracy, im also trying to play this song and id say imabout 1/4 way through the song....good shit bro

[Airsoft3r6]

You get the feel for playing things over time. I play things without thinking about it, its like muscle memory, you know how it feels to play something

[Airsoft3r6]

Nice man im going to film myself playing Through Struggle, lemme know what u think, ill post it as a vid response sometime soon

[AlexiTheWildchild]

Hey theLTD1000.....SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!

The cover is really fuckin´ awesome!!!

[smokeybearsb]

It is really fucking awesome, great tone and everything, but I think LTD was giving some sort of retarded constructive criticism. Even the video poster said he needs to work on it.

[theLTD1000]

it was an..ok cover i guess.

you still have a lot of work to do

[james1760]

Ha i want to see theLTD1000 do better if they goin to be talkin shit.

[A7XMAN31]

fucking awesome man

[WhatsWithTheSquier]

this is immense.

[BloodandRainbows]

Do you find this tricky to play?

[hippieslay]

typical mainstream metal riff at the beginning

[Jkbmbg]

Haha word! stil a pretty good song..

[beast2backs]

man dont cut out the breakdown what were you thinking!
