Dear Shakey.
I feel you brother.

The song is in 5/8 which is a notoriously difficult time signature to play in. Pretty impressive he can manage the kick drum along with the guitar+singing

I used to be an only son
My heart was but a stranger
It wallowed in the races won
and craved the petty dangers.
And it sat alone,
and pined and pondered
On the chosen roads it had to wander.
Well I used to be an only son.
(Yeah) My heart was but a gambler
Oh heavy as a loaded gun
And oh, it howled above the weather
And it's evil ways let me forget her
This old dirty blood will burn forever,
in us together.
I used to be an only son.
(Yeah) My heart was but a gambler
Oh, heavy as a loaded gun.
It howled, above the weather.
Oh and its evil ways
let me forget her.
And this old dirty blood will burn forever,
in us together.
Ohhhhhh
Mhhhhhh Hmmmm Hmmmm

[@Spitfire-eg2yt]

anyone know what guitar hes using?

[@codyschwab6221]

Looks like The Loar LH-301T thin body, but with a humbucker. Not sure if he added that or if they have models with them equipped.
Let me know if you find the humbucker version
