dude you played this great, but you should look into doing a great Thrice song. (not that this isn't great because they all are) Deadbolt maybe......?

[abriefsilence]

@noleafcloverMIke yea I know what you mean, it's not exactly one of the thrice "hits" haha. Deadbolt is one of my favorites too, I might do that one soon. Its on my list!

[abriefsilence]

@666godhatesusallAAA thanks amigo! I'll be posting a lot more stuff soon! I have a lot of sick music to get through =p

I do know how the song goes but to start off the video you should have played the whole riff first in real time, just to get a better idea. My opinion. cool lesson though.

[abriefsilence]

@seven7years hey I did play it in real time! That's the first thing that I put in there right after my intro! you owe me a dollar now =p

I appreciate the feedback though, I'll be sure to play things out throughout the videos for people to see

[noleafcloverMIke]

@abriefsilence well I only mention it because it is a great way to learn that really fast tempo type of song. But on the grand scale of things, good choice

[jerryzkidz99]

@abriefsilence holy crap! damn it. i feel like an idiot lol I did skip ahead, my fault. it was early! i need my dollar.

@abriefsilence I play on a Fender Jaguar (I know, not the greatest guitar for this kind of music :P) and the 2009 version is known for its fretbuzz while it's in E standard. When I tune it to D Standard, most of the fretbuzz is gone but when I tune it down to drop C, I can hear it again. I will buy some 12 gauge strings, hope it'll work for me.
