In his IMV "Behind the Player" DVD, Jacobs gives an intimate behind-the scenes look at his life as a professional musician including rare photos and video footage.

Jacobs then gives in-depth lessons for how to play "Falling Down" and "Becoming the Bull" by Atreyu on guitar and jams the tracks with Atreyu drummer Brandon Saller.

VIDEO TAB shows exactly how Jacobs plays the two tracks. The video-game-style animated tablature is similar to GuitarHero(™), but shows how to play the tracks for real.

  • amazing guitarist, and one of the most underated "/ when I saw atreyu live dan blew my brains to shit!

  • It's awesome how you really don't have to have a PHD in music theory to be amazing at guitar. If you have an imagination, a drive, and love for the instrument, that's enough. Granted, basic knowledge of how music works makes things easier, but that comes with experience anyways.

  • @maskproduced he's not sloppy man, but dan jacobs is the reason i play guitar at all... my guitar inspiration, but they are both great in their own ways

  • @bellyman128 HELL to the no. You can actually differentiate between Dan's guitar solos. Syn's are just a chromatic, bled-together, mess... played really fast.

  • very entertaining 

  • Underdog! I like his style!

  • @bellyman128 he really isnt hes sloppy as shit dan is 10 times better

  • no one can be compared to brian haner jr but ilove atreyu as well

  • Thats not a wah pedal! 1:20

  • Synyster gates is good but alot of his solos sound the same to me not gunna lie avenged sevenfold is a fucking amazing band and syn is a beastly guitarist but to me Dan just has like a different sound in his solos too me at least

  • this guy is really good. I met him and the entire band acually at mayhem. Really nice guys but of course i missed thier show

  • @bellyman128 Amen to that Brother!
