isn't the song in Drop C ?

[@Sgtshadow69]

I always played it in drop c, chord I believe I us is d:5, a:6, f:7, c:8, in the change just let the five and eight go so they're open, the end piece is a simple a:5-6 then d:8-5

[@momdieddad]

I first finger set you play sounds almost exactly like "My Curse" by Killswitch Engage, but not after that haha

[@sokolpunch]

The picked version going in order in which you pluck them is ACTUALLY 4,2,3,1,2. Same order until the heavy riffage. You'll notice that there are 5 notes in each sequence without pause. This is 5/8 time...the order of time goes as follows: 6[5/8(7x) +4/8]...who knew ABR was a math metal band? :P

[@rockerdeej]

@sirundying i actually played this in drop D its supposed to be lower like C

[@aenema22]

Also, just a tip, but when you play anything fingerstyle the worst thing you can do is to use one or more of your RH fingers as an anchor to the body of the guitar.

[@sharklikespancakes]

I learned this pretty quick. Thanks

@gookmarathon I said "...I'm not really serious about all of this, I'm just kinda making a point..." sorry for not making it clear enough haha.

[@WindRushStudios]

I taught myself how to play this intro, and I used a TOTALLY different, but much easier way. message or reply if this is giving you trouble and you would like to know a different way :D

[@Dankfest]

@YodaAlec try cgcfad or dropped d

[@PimpDaddyIrbz]

@TheMagicTard last time i check between 10 and 8 is 9 not 7 cuz u said 7th fret even thou its the ninth

[@RobertMoua]

can u play the whole song in acoustic? because i would like to see ur acoustic cover on it. i havent seen one yet.

[@_IRONJAW]

I'm barely begging guitar on acoustic first but I want to know what tuning is best, standard, drop c, or drop d. I want to play woe is me type of music they are on drop c but I. Want to know if it's the same for acoustic

[@onenewbegining8000]

when you teach can you please slow it down a bit but your amazing keep it up!:)

[@Mazzty]

theres an easier way to play it. you can use just fret 8 with pink, 7 with ring, 6 with middle, and 5 with index just going down the strings.

[@Dankfest]

@Twintanks75 Well, I can tune a guitar if that's what you're getting at.

[@baker1690]

[@moepippy]

I don't get it, this song's intro is extremely easy. why is there a video on how to play it

[@Jonii1994]

well, your notes go like G# D# G# G D#. I' m quite sure that it is G# D# C G D# in song.

[@cgftw91]

Wow, I fail miserably at playing acoustic on so many levels...

[@baker1690]

@lSy1x Jake's a good guy. Go listen to your 'generic trash' such as the Dillinger Escape Plan. Also, I notice you're from the same town as Jake....did he fuck up one of your relationships or something? I'm not really serious about all of this, I'm just kinda making a point that everyone thinks that everyone else's music is shit, when really it's 'to each his own'. Have a great day sir. Seriously though, I do wanna know why you have beef with Jake...

[@BTBdrummerBTB]

tune it

[@TheMagicTard]
