[jpisaconman101]

Damn this guy is good

[trentawsome555]

Wow dude you are just playing that while the actual song is playing you didn't REALLY learn it

[episgscustom]

@trentawsome555 I actually did..you can obviously hear my guitar over it. This is really just a video so that people can learn what to play for this song, in reference to the song. Therefore your comment is invalid.

[dell1234328]

jajajjajajajjajaajajjajajja k pendejo no sabe tocar deseguro es pley back jajajjaja

[TechniqaaL]

im not sure but im guesing thats not an SG?

[JmonopolymanK]

Nice sound!!! Please Listen to my cover! Username-jmonopolymank

[Krakerer]

really great, just turn up the song and lower the crunch just a little

[OMFGASIANNINJA]

@Krakerer

he probably does it so people knows he's playing

[ZIRamirez23]

:O

[ILuvBritLouTayTay]

and who says us Christians can't like rock? ;)

[NicoleKaylee13]

Love this u r an amazing player!!1

[Devilwearsprada96]

Nice pedal board I have the sameone

[blackbrutaldragon]

Yo what's your settings for your fxpedal in this song i tried fiddling with my pedal bur couldn't get the sound quite right

[episgscustom]

@blackbrutaldragon I can't remember exactly, but I used the SOLDLY preset, and just took off the delay and added some amp gain.

[SheerRandomnessify]

Great playing. as a learning guitarist myself, I found playing other types of rock/metal and dabbling in the blues really widened up my playing. (my vids havent been updated in a while) Learn some led zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, AC/DC, Black Sabbath. I don't use alternate tunings much, besides DADGAD (Kashmir) D tuning, or a half step down. I have never tuned my guitars to drop C or B#.

[jcovers12]

Wow! This cover is really cool!.. .But check out mine too, its nice! :P ... Suscribe to my channel please!

[Sberloyarden77]

You're not doing it right at 0:48 and 1:38 but you're very good So Keep Rocking!

[Fox2reloaded]

Nice DW kit!

[MrGeeTar1996]

someone is rich

[episgscustom]

@MrGeeTar1996 That ain't my drum set or my bass.

[jfnoxus]

Really nice!

[TheSquiglyProduction]

is that an SG Epiphone?

[episgscustom]

@TheSquiglyProduction No, Its a silvertone Rockit.

[SkilletBro]

Good Job, i Love it.

[Saqqara123]

WOW! your good!

[1YearOff1]

@TheRadiationSicko. I'd rather not go with the cheaper one,. Cause i'm a working musician, and I can't depend on cheaper items. Sorry. I'll go with the high dollar one.

[jayhattan]

Cool! Do you have the acoustic version? I'd really love it if you subscribe the video to me. Thanks! ^_^

[1YearOff1]

Sweet cover. Is that your pedal? Or your friend's? I was looking into to getting a similar pedal like yours. Would you reccomend it?

[episgscustom]

@1YearOff1 It's mine. Check out my other videos. I would definitely recommend.

[TheRadiationSicko]

@1YearOff1 i would recommend getting the Digitech RP70 over thsi! the RP70 is only $60 and it is better!

[LyricalEmo]

Is that a Douglas Zeke HC?

[opticfireguy]

[Boj19ReeBok]

[br331985]

This was the first song I did also....Still a newbie I was able to play this song fast because I was lucky enough to find a tut with tabs on the video :) I look forward to seeing more covers hopefully you could try doing that with some vids :)

[MadDistortion]

That was a good cover but you have a weird way of using your fingers. It seems like it would be much harder for me

[AirSoftMayhem123]

dude what is that Ibanez amp? good job btw!

[MattyJThomas]

u have usb out on that pedal lol why arent u taking advantage of it?

[episgscustom]

@MattyJThomas I was at my friends house and his computer wasn't close enough. I would have otherwise!

[MattyJThomas]

@episgscustom lol okay dude. u will have to round up some mates and do a band vid.

[Yami229]

[cococowkid46]

[MrDylank21]

[d1eg0x5]

[3dgDuDe6t4]

It seems like most cool songs that i know are played in drop c, like ANIMAL I HAVE BECOME [3DG], IN THE END [LINKIN PARK], and this song.

[Jura112]

Good cover ! well done )) check my cover

[antonio21596]

[XxXTheBoxerXxX]

you were going fast in some parts.

[Lukasjackekass]

Very good Guy

[TheBassThumper]

This is great! I have a tip for u. Run ur guitar cable through ur strap. That way if u accidentally step on ur cable u don't break the cable or the jack. I learned the hard way :(

[reekmonster48979]

ever think about giving lessons

[TheREYMISTERIO101]

i fell like its fake covering

[VegasVolt3ya9a]

@TheREYMISTERIO101 Dito, playing with my thoughs that it is just a playback and not a real cover.

[smsjujubean93]

Open D tuning... smart stuff

[sparksXguitar]

Great cover(:

[DarkAngelGirl100100]

the pedal gives u all the distortion or u use a good amp??

[puzzledyret]

i like the part when he play's on guitar ;D (great job btw)

[XeroDaSparx]

awesume guitar! i like the pick ups

[zebediasIV]

tab PLS

[criszist9]

gibson SG :D

[NeonSocks23]

Do you have tabs for this???

and this is reaaaally good!!! :DD

[ODSTRookie2]

@NeonSocks23 look up how to play Monster by Skillet and look for aarons guitar lessons on it in the video hes wearing a hat and its a great lesson on it

[Novastar1313]

Wow Great job!!! its really good!

[XxXGreyhavenXxX]

i have the same bass. is it a Ibanez?

[elianne01]

Good job!!! I did a cover of this song to

[PhantomAlxa99]

hey how did you make that noise at 2:18-2:19? The Siren-like noise?

[episgscustom]

@PhantomAlxa99 its called flanger

[JimmyPageisabeast]

@episgscustom i believe the guitarist played it through one of those handheld marshalls to get that sound

[mynameisbilly500]

@episgscustom lol

[BvOBart]

@episgscustom Indeed. But I don't think you should've used flanger here. Best thing to do is to take away all the bass of the guitar, it'll replicate the sound of the guitar in the original part the best.

[episgscustom]

@BvOBart Well, i wasn't really wanting to replicate it so much as wanting to make it sound cool. Thanks for the advice tho!

[BvOBart]

@episgscustom You're welcome. It did actually sound cool.

[Anakin1OOO]

@PhantomAlxa99 I lol'ed irl when i saw your comment and clicked on the link

[PhantomAlxa99]

@Anakin1OOO what link?

[closertoyou1234]

[CurdsofWrathTV]

[1000milesinmyshoes]

i have the exact same bass and guitar

[Youngangus96]

nice cover but u messed up at 1:33 instead of doing the feel like a monster riff, u just go from 5 to 7 to 10. if i can get a friends camera i can send u a response if u dont know what im saying. lol its hard 2 explain over youtube.

[YellowWolf13]

Skillet is a Christian Band everyone has a feeling that something is wrong with them and they need to fix it.

[TheFallOfTheLegends]

wow dude very well done (: and forget the people who judge this and criticize it they're jealous cause you got a talent and they don't, so keep your head up and keep it going (:

[1996Amadeus]

[FrozHanKunai911]

[DarkNargacuga]

oh boy i slightly killed my friend's interest in this band when i told them they were christian...but he came to his sences.

Anyways Great Cover :)

[MarioRulz58]

whats better a stratocaster or a silverstone rockit guitar?

[CornerProductions2]

Great job man.

[TheUltimateNinjaLord]

that was wicked dude! I know this song off by heart! I have to put up a video still...but still man you rocked that! your amp settings were pretty near perfect making it sound nearly identical to the song....MAGNIFIQUE!

[aletz1551]

hey, which is the equalization that u use in your amp???? please... answer me this message!!!

[thedrummer1000]

awesome job! Great effect! sounds just like the song!

[15iloveguitar]

[reubyjay25]

Skillet rocks Great job

[LaserKillStudios]

Thats amazing!!!! :)

[devinreese11]

[1guitarfreak4]

[episgscustom]

@1guitarfreak4 watch the end of the vid.

[1guitarfreak4]

@episgscustom oh see i dont like to read ending credits

[P4nz3r3]

First vid i saw with some1 actually playing the song for them selves and not letting the song do it, very good man *thumbs up* !

[jsp9076]

nice vid

[Elinostro]

hahahahahahaha esta buenisimo el video!! heyy que buena idea la de poner al final lo que habias usado... que bien gracias.

[tindothan]

nice video how are you making that sound ive tried everything i could think of and i play it the same as you but i cant that type of distortion

[Songwriter4God]

@tindothan What amp do you have? Sound is mostly amps.

[tindothan]

@Songwriter4God line 6 spider 3

[Songwriter4God]

@tindothan Me too. Bass 11 (Yeah, no kidding.), mid 4, treble 7 or eight. Drop C on metal, full drive.

[tindothan]

@Songwriter4God yea i gotta get me amp fixed i have trouble with the mp3 input slot and have to push it down to work idk why.

[Songwriter4God]

@tindothan Before you get it fixed check a different auxiliary cable. (What you use to connect the MP3 player.) I had a broken cable after trying to connect my guitar to my computer with it (Before getting a 3.5 mm adapter for my guitar cable.) and I had to push it down and also in sometimes.

[thehhhfan4ever]

thanks now can i play it!

[firaxis5050]

Best song on Awake.

[Songwriter4God]

@firaxis5050 No it isn't. Awake and Alive and Sometimes, It's Not Me It's you and especially Dead Inside are better.

[firaxis5050]

@Songwriter4God

to you, but for me, Monster barely wins 1st, Hero and Sometimes tie fo rsecond, then Awake & Alive and It's Not Me It's You tie for third. great album though, almost as good as Comatose.

[scbene]

YEAH, that was awesome bro!

[episgscustom]

@scbene thanks! and your vids are pretty awesome too!

[1212walker]

if yall want to see a band cover of this song type in kot monster and u can hear my band play monster

[KG2945470307]

Dang.... Your good! Its better when you only hear the guitar.... Maybe I can sing! lol. ( 1:40 EPIC GUITAR STRUM... HaHa!)

[tommyskate147]

hell in a cell theme

[Nickskates96]

lol 1:40 epic guitar strum!

[CometStrike1]

Nice guitar and cover!:D

[Mechafallout]

Something i noticed, do you usually strum completly with down strokes or is it just for this particular?

[episgscustom]

@Mechafallout well, usually, i found that with the distortion and such, down strokes sound a little more defined.

[Mechafallout]

Fair enough, it was just plain curiousity, i find that as well sometimes, but it usually depends on the strings i find. My guitar isn't like that, probably because im so used to it!

[episgscustom]

@Mechafallout yeah, its all preference i think.

[Songwriter4God]

@episgscustom I've noticed that too.

[niven5]

witch chords u used there? do u have link?

sry about the spelling..

[episgscustom]

@niven5 no tabs..

[bluenijalover653]

this is really good =}

[15iloveguitar]

YO you fuckin rock dawg, if i had that talent i'd say i was in the band, naw i'm playin, wait, r u their guitarist, keep it up man

[episgscustom]

@15iloveguitar nope, i'm not their guitarist! haha, i wish i was though! it'd be fun! thanks!

[GuitarKid905]

nice cover i know it gets annoying with all the religious arguements on youtube, it reminds me of a three days grace song about dealing with a drug addiction

[episgscustom]

@GuitarKid905 Break?
