  • and the lesson??

  • putting ur ibanez down after a long days work of trying to play guitar

  • You skipped the best part in the song...

  • This is why having a 7 string rocks ;)

  • i love you

  • I liked it but....you need a fucking haircut

  • The harmonics become much easier as the gain on the amp is increased. I can't even get a good one out of my Peavy amp but when I use my Crate, which has much more gain, they pop right out. Hope it helps.

  • how do u get that sound on the 5 th string on the intro?

  • How did you deal with the E string being so loose when you tuned it to an A. Do you use a thick E string, like .54?

  • @MegaLindt yeah, i thnk the string i use are the ernie ball skinny top heavy bottom ones... the E is thicker than standard, but lower strings are still manageable

  • realy good!!!

  • a very different cover of CE but still like the change

    it was good

  • i always have problems with the harmonic just under the 3rd fret

  • how do you do the harmonics?

  • the solo is diffrent

    and i like it

    usually people dont do the solo

    and you didnt either

    but I really liked it

  • hey man nice cover hav u got a built in fuzz factory in ur guitar?

  • generally good but... without the clean solo? no thanks

    besides at the last part of the song you're playing the arpeggio wrong (5:25)

  • tab it plzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • favourite muse song and u did it justice just hope they perform this at wembly 2010

  • aww, very disappointed u didn't do the little solo things between the first and second verse =( but then again, u also improvised so yeah =)

  • Comment removed

  • hey !! Nice Guitar and Nice harmonics! suena casi igual al tema original ! yo he tocado la mayoria de las canciones de Muse aunque Citizen Erased me complica en particular :S yo tengo un video donde yo toco New Born y Mk Ultra :P Good Work and Let's Rock!!

    PD: I HAVE A IBANEZ GUITAR TOO! xD

  • WOW! that's awesome!

  • Wicked job bro. Probably the best cover of Citizen Erased ive heard on youtube. Keep up the great playing man.

  • dude, awesome solo!

  • What guitar is that? I watched this video before I even considered playing guitar haha.

  • @FallOfMuse ibanez - gsz120

  • @theman362 tab the whole thing plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

  • wow you got the harmonics perfect how the fuck did you do it??

  • just find out exactly where they are by playing all harmonics around that area and then you'll know :) i know theres a lot of nodes around that area, but its easy enough once youve found them

  • thanks, i got it now , i fugured it out moments after leaving you the comment lol

  • @theman362 didn't answer question where'd you pick and stuff to get that sound?

  • @brassmonkeys33 The harmonics are A3* and A4*, literally like 2mm away from eachother on the A string lol.

  • Please please please, replay to this comment.

    The riff at the beggining, All the tabs say that it is open E string then second fret on the A string. But, this is a pile of shit that sounds nothing like the song. Seriously. Or is it an effect I'm meant to use. Please help.

  • it is an A string, an octave below the normal A. so tune your E string down to an A or use a 7 string guitar.

    you play that string open and the higher note is a natural harmonic above the second and third fret on that low A string.

  • well, you just became my new best friend. Seriously, thanks a lot.

  • no problems

  • when did u get the fuzz built in?

  • What amp are you using? And what mic?

  • fucking brilliant!! ignore these daft cunts ripping on the middle section, you made it your own and it's bloody impressive.

  • I came.

  • I prefer more the original central parts because it sounded "too heroic" sometimes.....I dunno why and I think it doesn't fit this song but otherwise very well done.

  • The ending is wrong, there is no G Major chord in there.

    Instead, it's an A Minor chord, with the bass note being G instead of A.

  • WTF!!! with the central part???

  • how do you play plz make a tutourial

  • lol you have the same guitar strap as i xD

  • suck a dick, show us your playing you prick

  • probably the best citizen erased cover ever played!!

  • he is good but he is not playing 1. clean part how can this video be best citizen eveer played.?

  • what guitar is that??

  • hey, its just a cheapo ibanez. the model is a gsz 120, but at the time i had a bareknuckle warpig pickup in the bridge position, so that helped ;D

  • any tips on playing standing up with a neck heavy guitar?

  • amazing! bloody brilliant! wasn't sure about the second chorus with the fuzz over the clean guitar on the record, but after a few views it grew on me. the solo is pure genious and the fact that you had to tune it up right before it made it very cool, something Matt Bellamy acctually could have done.

    Great job!

  • haah thanks, the tuning was kind of something that just happened... i had to go from drop A to be tuned in E so something had to be done :p wouldnt want to do that live though.. cheers!

  • Fantastic! great job :D

  • I'm trying to tune down my guitar to A, but even with an electronic tuner, my top string (im using a 6 string, not 7 string electric), only lets me tune down to G.

    Is G the same as A?, cuz I know after G is F, and that sounds too flat, also is the natural harmonic between the 2nd and 3rd and then between 3rd and 4th?

  • i understand that maybe you are not using a chromatic tuner? still, even if you are you should be able to tune to A

    A is not the same as G, A is the note above G (two semitones up). maybe you can tune the string to the song by listening to the song (the key of citizen erased is in A) and tuning it down until it reaches the tonic note?

    you could also try tuning the top string to A by using a harmonic above the 12th fret to help the tuner hear the note better maybe sometimes works on bass guitar

  • am i right in saying its a pinch harmonic ur using on the A string?:D

  • nope, not that hard.. its a natural harmonic on the a string.. one is above the 3rd fret, one is halfway between 3rd and 4th fret on a string :)

  • ah i see

    no wonder it took me ages and i didnt get anywhere!

    thanks xD

  • Wow...just...wow. This was an amazing cover (well, it wasn't exactly a cover; rather, it was a very good facsimile of the actual track), though I thought parts of the solo could have used improvement - for the most part though, the improv was great. Keep it up man!

  • One of my most regularly watched videos on youtube! Love it! Love the solo as well. Keep em' coming!

  • Wow! Nice! I am trying so hard to learn this song! It's the arpegios! I love them... but to do them at that speed! :O Five stars! Like most people, I'm not sure about your solo fitting in with the song, but it was a great improvisation anyway!

    5 stars! I've a couple of covers up too.. Would be great if you could comment and rate! I've subscribed to you!

  • liked the untunin in the solo, but you have fuzz, so you could have done the solo :P

    nice one though :)

  • awesome..,what effects are u using??do you have tabs???

  • Honestly, I think it's a good cover, but i don't like changing a part of a song as citizen erased as u do. Moreover i think ur solo doesn't fit with the song, it's just my opinion ^^

  • whouahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

  • holy shit, the last 2 minutes... so beautiful!

  • well! but the solo....

  • great finish. thx for posting

  • sweet cover dude

  • Nice 1 our kid, Noel

  • jeez you are wonderful! and i would love to be able to play this, but i don't know how to drop to A????? help PLEASE anyone!

  • hi, just tune your thickest string to A

  • yeah, but how? i know to drop to D you need to go to the 7th fret and tune it compared to the A string. how does that compare with dropping A? Do you need to tune it by going to the 10th fret or summin?

  • well, to be accurate you should do it with a tuner, but failing that, it would be at the same pitch as the A string (2nd thickest) at the 12th fret, as it is one octave below

  • awesome! yeah thanks, and i do need to buy a tuner :/ thanks again

  • You're fucking great!! Amazing!

  • What kind of guitar is that?

  • Epic mate! nice work :D

  • when Matt plays allways an improvised Solo for this, he can play a fucking G chord in the outro right? Also, even when its not 100% of the notes, it sounds good an matches

  • lol this guy came back to nitpick this video a second time.

    this is a pretty bad cover but seriously, get a life

  • get a 7th string guitar and play the song correctly

  • lol i think you should calm down. i dont want to buy another guitar so i can play one song that i rarely play anyway. as it says in the comment, this is a version i transcribed for one with 6 strings.

  • Good work man! :D

    Sounds great!!

  • Improvised part and Solo were pretty cool m8 ^^

    sounds awesome

  • yeah harmonics how you do em

  • just google natural harmonics to read about how to play them, i cant offer any advice better than what you'll read there :)

  • arlight will do thanks man

  • hey nice cover, but how do you make the harmonics sound so well? when i do it i cant hear it for shit. thanks

  • Hi! Nice playing and nice guitar! what is it? what are your pickups? you got a very clean sound!

  • i know this is a lot to ask but cld you send me the tablature for this song thnkx

  • wow!:O:O

    Are you playing in a band?

  • yeah, we are called industry, theres a link to some stuff we wrote in my profile :)

  • hey mate, how do you pla the begging riff i cant seem to get it right, is it harmonics ? great playing anyways.

  • yeh, thickest string tuned to LOW A and then with the normal A string, play the thickest low A open and harmonic on 3rd fret, then later at between the 3rd and fifth (thats the lower harmonic sound in the second half.)

  • that solo was increadale i cant stop lisn to it

  • increadale, indeed

  • personally i thought it was rather sprendif.

  • God, that was some orgasmic playing. I loved the parts you aded to it, gave the song a harder edge. I play guitar but not nearly as good as you. Maybe one day ;)

  • what effects are you using ? im gonna get some effects that matt bellamy uses to get that muse sound.

  • im just using a pod xt live, as far as im concerned, the only 'muse sound' is a diezel vh4 (matts amp) and i sure cant afford that.

  • hey man no me parecio mal esta la sostenes bastante bien

    pasable dentro de todo

    y me gusta por en algunas partes improvisas

    no veo si tu guitarra es de six o seven cuerdas

    de todas formas es una performans aceptable

    igual fallaste en algunas partes practicala un poco mas saludos bye man

    good luck

  • i can barely understand that, but my guitar has 6 strings, not 7.

  • very very good cover im very impressed youve done muse proud well done

  • god dam. I gotta start playing

  • Good Cover, had sum origional flare.

    i loved it, i am muse's self proclaimed biggest fan and i loved that :)

  • that solo was incredible!

  • Hey man, this was a big help. I just got Origin of Symmetry this week, and have been unable to turn off this track since...inspired me to pick up the guitar again. Keep up the good work...unfortunately, the internet is a haven for self-proclaimed experts to come about and give you their take on things without you asking for it...those of us in the learned musical community know harmonics when we hear them.

  • hahah, rightly said! :)

  • wow omfg ur great

  • my hands at the wong fret for a high pitched note?? i assure you its at exactly the right place to make that pitch, and you'd know too if you had a clue what you're talking about (do you even play?). have you ever heard of harmonics? they make high pitched harmonic notes and are played in this song in the intro.

    im not playing over the live version, do you hear the crowd at the beginning??

  • ignorant alert!! ignorant alert!! everyone

  • Wow have you ever even seen a guitar???

  • HAHAHAHA YOU'RE FUCKING RETARDED! Theyre called harmonics and they are that high pitched... Hahaha if you knew the slightest thing about playing you'd realise how dumb you sounded there. I feel sorry for you mate..

  • Where is the solo at 2'13 ? It's the better part of this song !

  • good version man ..great solo

  • sounds pretty good

    like ur covers but see if u can make up a piece i wanna c wat ud cum up with ur pretty gd on guitar lol

  • theres a song made by my band on my main page, its called 'void'. i also did my own thing in 'crazy guitar delay modulation' or something like that where i was improvising, which is also on my main page :) thanks for the interest!

  • Nice JS, good job

  • Awesome Man! =D

    What amp you got there?

  • irl i have a marshall jcm 900. its a 100w tube head that i use with a 2x12 half stack but on this i just use a pod xt live

  • you're so amazing on your guitar

  • How are you playing the chords on the guitar bit before the actual chorus?

  • I envy you :(

  • nice guitar :D

  • Wow Awesome version! Congrats!

  • Are you doing the harmonics during the intro on the 6th or the 5th string?

  • on the A string, above 3rd fret

  • how do you make vidoes ??? Its really cool

  • with the built in webcam :)

  • ah cool thanks :D

  • at the beggining of the song how do you make it sound high on the bass string? please tell me lol i don't have a clue :P

  • its done by playing harmonics.. you should be able to learn how to play them if you google it

  • gawsh... pretty cool... introo awsome.. chorus need to work on that... and umm nothing ellse I gues.. By the way im n drummer and propably know nothing about guitars but that guitar.. ibanez is fkn awsome.. can you tell me where i can buy one :D

  • i got mine from gak.. online. it was cheap and easy ;P

  • ok thx :D

  • arghhhh i hate you lol!! you are too good :/ i am learning all muse cover that i can but it s pretty hard :(!!

    Make as much videos as possible please, this help me learning =)! thanks and continue please xD!

  • How many frets does that guitar have?!

  • whatever the normal amount is, ive forgotten, its 22 isnt it?

  • 24 is a normal set alowing 2 sets of octaves

  • are you deaf? you seriously think im not playing any of this? haha then why do you think the solo is totally different and all the mistakes? you think thats what the song normally sounds like? i play the guitar along to the song playing in the background. theres no need to time any clicks either, if you notice at the start the backing tracks plays about 3 notes before i start playing.

  • haha! this is not a fake- the chorus was different from the way matt plays it. good job man- 5 stars. what kind of guitar is that? id post a cover of this song but my 7-string is in BEADGBE and has a floyd-style bridge. maybe when i change the strings again.

  • cheers for those words of wisdom :P

    its an ibanez gsz120

  • lol i am mad shocked at how stupid this 'krisbox350' dude is ,

    not only does he not have the slightest clue what he is talking about , his videos are fucking terrible

  • have you got a fuzz factory in that guitar?

    and wow at th intro

  • Awesome job!!! i loved the solo :)

  • Great job man. Love your improvised solo!

  • What distortion / effects are you using?

  • pod xt live

  • kk but is it a particular type of distortion. ie, what gain, tone, bass etc. Is it metal distortion, muff ..... ?

  • i think it was just the distortion from the soldano amp model.

  • sorry mate but some of the times you seem to be out of tune,also the solo doesn´t sound the same. i´ll upload a more accurate version, ok?

    cheers!

  • yeh the solo isnt the same because its improvised ;) its nothing like it

  • yo dude,,,

    sounds wricked awesome....

    I want to learn the begin to...i am just starting with the guitar...could make a movie or sum that you are playin it slowly and givin sum hints?

    pz.

  • the start is just playing harmonics on the thick string in rhythm... its a harmonic over the 3rd fret :)

    string is tuned down to A... supposed to be played on a 7 string guitar but i dont have one.

  • hey!! is that an ibanez?? looks similar to mine.. howd and whered u get the fuzz factory installed and how much was it??? good job btw

  • actually the real song has it in standard Drop A on a seven string.

  • yeah i know but i dont have a seven string, so i have to make do with the second best alternative.

  • the original was tuned sumit mad like ADADGbe wasnt it lol, does matt use that seven string on anyother songs

  • no i dont think he does :P

    was it ADAD? ah, i thought it was AEAD.. mighta been though, i never look at the tab so i just work it out how im tuned at the time. it was a pain having only 6 strings, i had to tune up from A to E in about 1 bar just before the solo, haha

  • wow you are a very good guitariste! you play very vrey well :)

  • what distortion do you use?

    btw you are skilled ;)

  • cheers, pod xt live

  • nono you arent missing anything, in my opinion, the clean part is the hardest part of the song... regarding your level, you could play them easily right ? does ur clean sound sucks ? : o

  • nah, i think that when i recorded it i just felt like improvising over that part with what i had, since i'd forgotten to dial in a patch for cleans..

    nah my clean tone is good :)

  • well imo you could sensibilize more people to your work by playing this part which represents an important part of the song for a lotlotlotlotlot muse's fans :)

  • yeh true :)

  • yo.if you want the clean part so badly check my version. hehehe! it has the clean part! and I'd say its a bit more accurate.

  • don't worry man, i can play the clean part by myself, i was just trying to give him an idea, i wasnt looking for a new strong-player-idol-who-can-pla­ys-the-clean-part, but thank you anyway ; )

  • lol! no biggie! peace!

  • allright ! it wasnt aggressive, just ironical =)

  • I got it! heheeh!

  • you don't play the hard parts haha =)

  • you mean the clean bits? theyre easy.. o_O

    or am i missing something

  • The ending killed me (or at least ripped out my... hmmm... my brain?). It'll be a long time before I'll be able to play like this. High school sucks and is getting in the way. Well... enough about me! Good job and have a good time being a killer guitarist!

  • The body looks kinda familiar... an Ibanez? (sorry if I offend...)

  • trés trés bien very good
