Protest The Hero - Sequoia Throne [1]

[FrossetSkygge]

I hate Tim's tone on this one...XD

[aidanscovers]

ok so at 2:26 is that and the other riffs besides 5-4-0-1-0-0--4-5 are those all hammer ons? just like the legato runs?

[xfire333]

fucking hell, they make it look so effortless.

[aidanscovers]

how do you tune to E flat i have a chromatic tuner but it doesnt show that so would proper tuning be DGCFAD? please hurry on the reply

[beanbot12]

@aidanscovers D# G# C# F# A# D#



[Grerink513]

@aidanscovers its gonna show up as Eb, Ab etc or as D#,G#,C#,F#,A#,D# buton some tuners the sharp sign will show up as a dot next to the note. Hope that helps bud

[slipknotbmth]

do they pick each note on the legato runs or hammer them on?

[beanbot12]

@slipknotbmth legato means they're using hammer ons or pull offs, or sometimes both. so the answer to your question: hammer ons.

[slipknotbmth]

@beanbot12 But for some runs, e.g. the little run at 2:32, it seems like the proper technique would be to pick every note?

[beanbot12]

@slipknotbmth yeah at 2:32 pick every note, but in tims part when he says the legato part, its hammer ons.

[FourthHorseman666]

This video makes me think I need to upgrade to an Ibanez...and practice.

[slipknotbmth]

How do they do the 5 string, 5th fret harmonic? I know how to do individual harmonics no problem but am I supposed to put the same technique for one string onto 5 strings, like scrape my finger down them behind the pick or something?

[rhapsoby1984]

@slipknotbmth No, not quite. Just lay a finger flat on the strings, like a barre. Don't actually fret the notes, just put your finger lightly on top. (Like with the single string harmonics.) Then start looking for the sweet spot to get the harmonic. You'll have to keep your finger straight up and down to get the harmonic ringing on all the strings though. Hope this helps :)

[darkais776]

666 likes. id like the vid, but i want to keep it that way ;)

[nupunk099]

I love how he talks one and a half minutes about this fucking hairband and how awesome it is

[lightxgrenade]

@nupunk099 dude i tried it after i saw this vid like a year ago and it really does help. Yeah it's kind've cheating but if you got some crappy equipment that buzzes regardless of you're playing, it helps immensely. A $1.00 hairband acts like a $100+ noise gate lol.

[saltyshoelace]

YIMMY & TRUKE!

[xAfterTheExilEx]

I will save everybody's time , if you're not a god.... proceed to another video. :)

[MajesticMist]

Guitar check,warmed up check,pick........

[382trooper382]

God I hate Protest the Hero...

[BawssWuzHere]

@382trooper382 Blasphemy!

[DustiestDog]

@382trooper382 Wow, you suck.

[CaptainShmiggles]

Guys, just so you all know, some of the things they show aren't accurate.

[bobisoncrackagain]

@CaptainShmiggles you know its their music soooo they can change it to their liking :P

[brokenhands02]

hahahaha the tags for this vid are awesome

[Tenac91]

Luke, you fraud, now everything's clear to me!! EVERYONE can play it with a little yellow hairband on the neck... and I thought you was fo reel...

[MauriXIV]

Where can i download this video

?

[abranthetimekeeper]

@MauriXIV ugh...itunes.



[alpengeist19]

lol anybody read the tags besides me?

[xRE1GNinBLOODx]

@5:49 Tim allen

[metalhead9838772]

Tim's tone in this video just SUCKS ! But he plays really good

[mgrobis]

lol at 7:56... that's my favorite part of the song though!

[MrChrisBarron]

Tim beard RIP

[downfallin]

do they write thier own guitar parts? i was under the impression that airf was the exclusive songwriter??

[cavtekk]

@downfallin

I believe he is the lyricist as well as rody

[ImThatGuy629]

@downfallin They write there own parts but Arif pretty much makes the foundation for every song.

[ballsdeepinaturtle]

I think it would be better if Tim didn't seem like he wanted to end his life at the thought of playing this song.

[andrasgearbox]

The 2nd riff is (Em) 5-4-0-1-0-4-5 as tabed, but it think he plays 5-4-0-1-0-0-4-5, right?

[efsantiago1]

@andrasgearbox yes it is but u can see that when tim plays. it doesnt show u the rhythm it just shows that it highlights everytime the string is plucked when it is the same note. which is stupid but i guess its a time same saver.i guess thats what they did for lukes riff when he played it

[JoeyMicknot]

im learnin th dissentience it not as hard as it sounds

[ryl417]

having a wizard neck to practice on makes a huge difference

[Trbit689]

Love these guyz! <3

[blackshadowbass]

I DID IT!!!!!!!!! OH MY GOD.

[FxingHostile]

THANKS SOO FUCKING MUCH !!

[pitriplex]

Luke has those perfect hands

[WIWonderbra]

Man, I totally can't play this XD

[xScreamToRisex]

@WIWonderbra i'm saying exactly the same thing now..i was like.." I'LL NAIL THIS FREAKIN SONG"..and now i'm thinking in quitting guitar.

[MousseMooseROCKS]

wtf? the second and third fingers on my right hand wont go together close enough when i put them on the board. this is an odd problem...

[ericspring]

6 people couldn't get passed the opening riff and blamed the video.

[xAfterTheExilEx]

Took me 3 and a half minutes to realize that only gods could play this.

[pizzadude691]

@darkhero101010 Why does your profile say you are 26? -.-

[ardahaywood]

took me 3 and a half hours but i finally go the tapping part at the beginning down... now on to the rest of it

[metalheadmayhem777]

@ardahaywood ha ha good luck!

[ardahaywood]

@metalheadmayhem777 i actually know the whole song now

[darkhero101010]

at 6:27, i have that exact same amp :D

[darkhero101010]

i am learning this song and i can play most of it at a slow rate ( i started learning it today and im doing good on the legato runs:) the problem is that im 13 and i have an ibanez with a 26 inch scale neck and i have small hands T-T my fingers hurt from stretching haha

[SilliestMonkey]

Great tutorial! Especially since it's from the actual makers of the song! And damn the beginning riff is hard as a mofo, but I have the rest down.

[beanis421]

tim sounds baked off of his nuts

[flamesRules]

Today I learned I suck hard at tapping.

[triforceguitarist]

Tims tone is really shit >.<

[TheAudioInjection]

I remember stopping this video after you went through a tapping riff.

I was like "OMG YOU TAP SO FAST!" and clasping my hair like O.O

[RainWiLLIDie]

Nice, I really want to learn this. I think i'll have it down in a month or so.

[ExCreationSx]

Reapeat 5.49 I LOL so bad haha

[jacksperma]

'is easier than it sounds..'

no it isn't.... xD

[Petey0707]

I swear the finger tapping is the easiest part of this song, how they pick so fast is beyond me

[alphamouse101]

@Petey0707 totally agree

[zomfgiquit]

Perfect.

Nuff said.

[b1droid]

@rawrmeansiloveyouTV

actually Luke is just lead and tim is just rhythm is all the songs.

Luke dus the sweeps, solos, tappin, and etc while tim chugs liek a mofo

[flamesRules]

Is this magic too?

[MrTyymann]

whats the tempo for this song?

[GuillermoSmyser]

The tabbing on this video is amazing

[SuperAkira888]

Holy shit.

[WeveGotNoTimeToLose]

Pretty crafty lead though. Very crafty

[WeveGotNoTimeToLose]

Im really surprised at his lack of description it huh deadens the strings?? You mean it acts as a string dampener? Was that so hard? String dampener haha

[TheSimonstein]

Luke is the one that has more of the harder riffs and yet... "I have the same run... Well not the same... Harmonized then?" "Yep." "Yeah I'm harmonized." hahaha

[thejoker1393]

Brilliant :D tim's guitar is sounding like crap here though, bad times.

[MyShinyHeartagram]

Tim's tone is shit.

[redhavok666]

@HaistaPaska92 Left: Luke, Right: Tim. Tim gets fancy bits in other songs so it's ok :D

[HaistaPaska92]

The guy on the left goes on for a minute about how he plays the intro and the guy on the right goes: ''Well I'm just kinda chugging on the open E, it's palm muted... and alternate picking...... you wanna play together?

[WCPhils]

@SHOUTxHIxHEYxHELLO. I felt the same way, lol.

[doodoobeobeo]

they make everything looked easy. damn!

[th3widow333]

what is the key of the song?

[Duey182]

whats the scale Luke uses at 7:10 ? sounds nice

[sfh113]

@Duey182 looks like its G flat major i think

[redhavok666]

@Duey182 Yep, Gb Ionian(major).

[SHOUTxHIxHEYxHELLO]

....did anybody else die a little on the inside when they realized

they would never be able to play this song

[forgetandfollow]

@SHOUTxHIxHEYxHELLO ya intil i played it like a pro

[RainWiLLIDie]

@SHOUTxHIxHEYxHELLO

Practice, and one day you'll be like "OMG I CAN PLAY THIS SHIT! I R SO KEWL!" Seriously though, I feel like I woke up a few weeks ago and I have significantly better at guitar. Keep playing, breaux :D

[yeahyeahyeahz2345]

just saw them live in calgary yesterday. and now i smell like beer, sweat, and shit. BUT THEY WERE AMAZING!!

[ihateyou7469]

[CrispyFresh95]

[Lunartux]

[HateCrewDeathMartyr]

Like the look of it an specialy the look of the Head.

Please, can someone tell me ?

[kamikaz1k]

@301Ibanez ESP Eclipse II

[teamSKDM]

@kamikaz1k it is not an esp eclipse, it is a companty called caparison. their guitars are INCREDIBLY expesnive and nice.

[kamikaz1k]

@teamSKDM sorry, i forgot this was sequoia haha. You are indeed correct, my friend has one and his custom one is being delivered hopefully soon....gonna be balls to wall metal \m/

if 310Ibanez is reading, the Eclipse II is from the bloodmeat video...my bad.

[skycaptain141]

@kamikaz1k It is a caparison dellinger

[mwiguitar62]

@kamikaz1k Caparison is my dream guitar. They're amazing.

[squattingmachine]

@teamSKDM I noticed from the headstock, Michael Romeo uses them.

[theallmightyham]

@teamSKDM not incredibly expensive, but definately up there. I would say they are well worth it though.

[sniper13ad]

@teamSKDM Michael Romeo from Symphony X uses one but he has a signature, one day i hope to own one

[teamSKDM]

@sniper13ad i thought michael romeo used an esp eclipse II ?

[darkhero101010]

@teamSKDM sounds bad...

[joey1364]

[pukepal]

@vasilios1994 he has a caparison dellinger

[iExisttt]

ahha i jsut noticed what they do with their feet when they are playing. i do this all the time when i play and i feel its a huge bad habit because i sit like this now even when not playing guitar

[frickendogs]

any tips for playing the runs that start around 7:30 ?

[WilliamBonneau]

find the easier side of the harmony, start slow and use proper technique and fingering, might as well get comfortable with the scales 'cause there quite common.

[thricegod1288]

Sikth!

[vanillabeanduck]

Nothing to do with the video itself, but Luke REALLY looks like Daniel Faraday from Lost. It's kindof disturbing me.

[1xDRCx]

well i learned the song....now to get it to full speed.....

[frickendogs]

i can't play this :( LOL
