    I remember being so stoked when Guitar World released this video. The opening riff to Parallels is, in my opinion, one of the best riffs ever written. There's something about its rhythm and melody that makes it so pleasing on the ear. Phil is my favorite guitar player/song writer to date.

    Hey guys, just wanted to tell you that if you buy the powerless rise deluxe edition it comes with tabs to every single song on the cd, in both guitar pro and pdf format. I got the deluxe edition not knowing this and was blown away. Just to make sure, i rewatched this vid, and the tunings, and playings match up. If you want to learn the songs right, def buy it, a little pricy, but its def worth it in my book.

  •  Před 13 lety +3

    That's a very good melody that they composed in Parallels! On another note, I won't ever get people complaining about EMGs sounding too sterile and how they don't reflect the tonal qualities of woods. First, not everyone has the money to afford different guitars with great sounding woods and EMGs actually provide a solution on that aspect. Second, if you want something warmer, you can always try the 18-watt mod on classic EMGs or just go with the newer X series or try Seymour Duncan Blackouts..

    Actually I think it is a Tremonti model, because I don't remember PRS ever doing normal singlecut with 4 knobs and the p/u-switch in the normal Les Paul position AND with a tremolo on the same guitar. It's been either 4 knobs and a hardtail or 2 knobs and a tremolo, so... It's a Tremonti model. Or a private stock which I doubt.

    @Metalfeak3 Před 11 lety +1

    Well from what I understand, that makes inverted power chords much easier to do because they become just like the one finger bared chords that you normally get in a typical drop tuning. It enables you to sound lower, almost like a 7 string guitar.That is what you call being innovative.
