How-to Play "Nightmare" by Avenged Sevenfold, on guitar.

[TheRevivedCommunity]

A little too stoned while teaching for my tastes XD

[tylermcguffin]

@TheRevivedCommunity HEY....... I wasn't.

Okay maybe I was a little...

[ArmyRanger123100]

Oh and a little slower

[ArmyRanger123100]

It was ok I geuss but can u do the same one but with tabs

[giantszach98]

@ImaDreameRr97 Drop d I think

[ImaDreameRr97]

What Tuning Standard?

[THKCxStudios]

I didnt know jon heder played guitar

[tylermcguffin]

@THKCxStudios You don't even know how many times I've been told I sound like Napoleon Dynamite... hahaha.

[bjswagger99]

"I learned mostly by ear" but I'm going look at the tabs to teach you. Ok then

[tylermcguffin]

@bjswagger99 I've explained this before, but I have no problem doing it again. The webcam, which I recorded this with, was placed right in the middle at the top of my laptop. If I were looking at tabs, I'd be looking directly below where the webcam was sitting. With that said, there's no way I could have been looking at tabs ESPECIALLY when I made this video no less than 2 days after the song itself came out.

[Punkrockboy99]

badass hair bro , and great job.

[sixxynix]

dude, you sound like M.Shadows :D

[WolvesMoon100]

well....i can play this but i use 2 slightly different notes...does that matter cause im confused....

[WolvesMoon100]

wait...is this the harmony part or the melody part..like which part is this kid playing..Zacky's or Syn's

[URWillEB]

[tylermcguffin]

[BABEHROCK1]

[tylermcguffin]

[flavorlessmuffin]

thank you sooo much

[amberluvzchuteehee]

Amazing.  :D

[ChordsOnFire]

Hey Tyler, I just wanted to say your a cool guy with good taste in music and good job.

[tylermcguffin]

@ChordsOnFire I really appreciate that man, thank you.

[FreeFavl]

You're a cool dude, Tyler--laid-back and sincere in trying to help us; breaking things down into bite-sized morsels that we can (more easily) digest. And your enthusiasm and modesty are positive attributes as you consistently encourage your viewers.

This is one of the Best "How To..." videos I've ever seen (in any category).

Oh, and you're set-up and the way you play it sound great!

Al...

[tylermcguffin]

@FreeFavl Thanks man, I really mean that. You pretty much got it spot-on. That's exactly what I was going for; simplistic enthusiasm. I feel that I'm not a boring person, and it shows in this video. I have my own teaching method and it's common-sense based. There are so many troll's on this video, so I respect the fact that you said what you did. Once again, thanks.

[FreeFavl]

@tylermcguffin I appreciate your kind comments, Tyler.

"I feel that I'm not a boring person, and it shows in this video."

¿How could you be boring?--you're not only "into" Great Music, but you also play it & teach it well. Which leads me to my 2nd point:

"I have my own teaching method and it's common-sense based."

I'm a university professor (literature), & all of the best instructors have that confidence in their teaching, based on successful experiences, that you possess.

Do your thing...

[w816449]

fucking epic

[tylermcguffin]

@xuxnxhxoxlxyx Thanks?

[stormday2]

Yo dude. Epic Dude.

[tylermcguffin]

@stormday2 Thanks broski.

[lordAnarax]

@tylermcguffin True, but i was just saying.........

[00000000MUSIC0000000]

dude you need more strings!

[tylermcguffin]

@00000000MUSIC0000000 I know this mane lol. Check out the Icarus Lives! cover I did on an 8-string and subscribe to my channel for more like it to come in the future.

[00000000MUSIC0000000]

@tylermcguffin kay, and i hope its better than this video:)! lol

[wearethesoldiers]

EMO FLAP

[Lunaragazzax3]

[tylermcguffin]

@Lunaragazzax3 Thanks :D.

[lordAnarax]

This helped a lot, but it would help more if you told us what string you were playing on, I had to figure it out myself.

[777godofrock]

u could put some tabs on the screen cus i cant hear u

[ToXicNeonSkull]

I want your hat and t shirt :l

[tylermcguffin]

@ToXicNeonSkull Go to the A7X merch site or a show! I got mine from a show I went to a couple years back.

[slipping0undertides]

dude.. not to hate but man tune ur guitar back up next time.

[ChrisSanx3]

@slipping0undertides brother it's the correct tuning you shouldn't dis other guitarists but encourage them, lol these kind of comments make you a total asshole plus If he is like me then Fans inspire him and you dissing him is a way to put someone down. KEEP SHREDDING BRO!

[tylermcguffin]

@slipping0undertides I know man, I apologize. At least you were respectful about it, unlike half these people that are just like TUNE YOUR FUCKING GUITAR UP BRO, YOU SUCK. I'm like...uhhmmm, hop off my nuts random youtubers lol.

[tylermcguffin]

@swagman727 Appreciate it broski.



[McRustynuts]

What are your settings on the Boss Metal Zone?

[tylermcguffin]

@McRustynuts Honestly man, I do not remember. I know I was getting my sound from mostly the amp and not the pedal itself when I made this video. I don't even have that pedal anymore either, I have the Metal Core.

[aggelosSlipKnoTRKO]

what are your amp settings ?

[tylermcguffin]

@aggelosSlipKnoTRKO I don't remember man, i apologize.

[oxsergio1]

How do you make your boss mt-2 sound like that?



[tylermcguffin]

@oxsergio1 It wasn't just the pedal that created the tone of the guitar in the video. Like i was just saying to someone in another comment, it was mostly created by the amp and the pedal just facilitated it and made it sound a little bit better.

[aryan91ification]

@oxsergio1 ya dude this did help thanx i learnd it i learnd the solo to ill be puting that up wen i find time to play it

[ccupcake97]

helpd me alot thanks man very impressive u learned that by ear

[tylermcguffin]

@ccupcake97 I appreciate it man, keep it metal lol.

[yairtheking1]

wtf



[tylermcguffin]

@yairtheking1 ftw?

[tjompiskompis]

Your voice reminds me much of M. Shadows! :O

[SystemBrandon]

You sound like M. Shadows!

[CyanideAlecks75]

what tuning is it in bro?

[tylermcguffin]

@CyanideAlecks75 DADGBE.

[metallicajunky15]

he did a good job at showing the main portions of the song i learned all of what he showed and then some and if you dont like what he did then dont watch the video again and if your gonna tell him what he did wrong tell him what he can do to make it better dont hate on him just cuz you can play it better cuz honestly who gives a shit? god job bro keep em comin!

[purplebanana0]

you look like matg

[tylermcguffin]

@dills2403 Oh really now? Thanks broski. And you look like a motherfucking racist county fucker who enjoys playing with his guns AND his cousins..i mean what? fuck off.

[roach851]

an easy song is afterlife it took about 1 week for me to learn that song

[tylermcguffin]

@roach851 I learned that song when i first started playing, haha. Still love it.

[eLz6661]

he goes NIGHTMARE!.. never fails to make me laugh :') <3

[tylermcguffin]

@eLz6661 :D

[skategreenfish1]

dude u dont say which string to play on and when it changes it just makes it that much harder >:|

[kakkukaala]

This took me about 10min practice and i can play whole song, cleaner than you...: D

[tylermcguffin]

@kakkukaala Well good for you! I learned this song after I listened to it ONCE, BY EAR and not from a video that teaches it to you. so yeah, awesome.

[XIsteeldemonIX]

and then he's like NIGHTMARE well yeah you know the part XD great tut btw thanks

[McNuggetzFTW]

he sounds just like M shadows

[willemvanheuverswijn]

can you please tell me what strings to play the 2-3-5-7-5-9 on ? (part of intro. )

been staring at ur hand and listening for over 3 hours and i just cant figure it out -.-

thx mate

[DylanTheDrummer94]

Ahaha you sound like M shadows!

[ramiabuhamra1]

how long did it take to u play like that ? ive been playing for almost a year now but im having a hard time with metal songs and heavy metal songs i really want to play a7x songs they are my fav band im self taught any tips ?

[tylermcguffin]

@ramiabuhamra1 Well, i've been playing for about 4 years now, and it just takes a lot of time and practice to get decent at it. I'm self-taught as well, and I started off by learning songs that I enjoyed listening to. For example, I learned a lot of A7X songs because they are not the hardest songs to learn from a rhythm standpoint, but then Syn's solos and the dual guitar solos he and Zacky use are pretty difficult for the up and coming guitarist. But yeah, just practice. Good luck.

[ramiabuhamra1]

@tylermcguffin Thanks dude , any cool songs to practice with easy solo's unlike syn's solo's lol there fuckin crazy too fast for me ?

[dirtbikerbaseball]

y is there SO many ways to play this damn song... that sounds like it A LOT but thats not how he plays it, but job job bro-mosexual

[HDDrizzy]

EmOKiDsTeaChINGNorMaLKiDsHoWTO­

[maxey23]

[1337million]

I love the drawings on your wall xD

[KimDalis]

Like ya pitures

[pjsk8ter]

ok bro i just started playing guitar like 2 or 3 months ago and decided to learn this and u made it sooo easy thanks alot bro

[tylermcguffin]

@pjsk8ter No problem dude. Learn some more a7x! That's all I used to play when I first started out playing and believe me, it'll pay off in the end for you. I learn so many techniques from listening to Syn and Zacky that I wouldn't have learned any other way.

[pjsk8ter]

@tylermcguffin alright thanks dude

[zackroxyall123456]

This was a great lesson but it was a little hard to figure out that bridge part.. lol thanks though, you rock
