@@malik87breaker it’s hard too. Take David Gilmour for example. He isn’t one of the fastest players on the planet, but he has probably the greatest tone, and seems to always play the perfect note and the perfect time. The notes he chooses to play on top of his tone and delay will literally take you places during his guitar solos
@@_Tommmmmm_ Fast doesn't equal a great player. It just means you can play fast. But if all the notes you hit sound the same and have no emotion behind them... then you might as well plug in notes to a machine and let it play. That's the difference. Musicality.
He writes, as he calls it himself - "nursery rhymes on steroids". That changed significantly though as he got older and spent more time writing and producing music with Ilan Rubin.
I really love this guy. I love how he doesn't pigeonhole himself into a single genre. Also love the 'Edge" influence I'm hearing here. Those sixteenth notes really bring out that U2 sound that's been 'Delongized'.
Genius! I love the 'still screaming' part! He set out to create something incredible and when I saw the original sounds it came me so much more insight into his creativity.
@@oscar18034 yeah but still, Tom said after Mark wrote it they both understood how to write songs and how to structure a song into sounding nostalgic/ good
Mr. Delonge, you are a genius. He hasn't even thought up words yet, and he's putting the whole song together right there. He is my inspiration as a musician.
This song and the whole album blew my mind the first time I listened to it I just sat and listened to the whole album back to back and every song was a banger
i love tom delonge its awesome to watch serious writers recording when youre in the studio hanging out , id love to meet tom i was hoping for blink dates but there are no US dates
assuming he tuned it down at 3:20 without pressing down on the frets I'd say the beginning is standard tuning and after he tunes it it's Drop D (only the first string), but i could be wrong :D
That the hell is that hand position when he plays barre chords where his pinkie is above his ring finger? I've been watching him play and playing myself for years and I still have no idea what he's doing. lol
He isn't the most skilled guitarist but the simple stuff he comes up with somehow manages to sound really good. That's what he is damn good at.
Totally agree. Not the world's greatest guitarist, but he is one of the best riff and medoly writers.
Can you define the "best guitar player"? Cause with what he have, he is the best there is.

My favorite music clip of all time. This shows Toms songwriting genius clear as day!
And he’s not singing like a twat either
Genius! I love the 'still screaming' part! He set out to create something incredible and when I saw the original sounds it came me so much more insight into his creativity.
This should have been in the We Don’t Need To Whisper acoustic EP.
God you fucking said it!
Agreed!!!!
seriously
Yerp
but it isn’t completed, cus he only hums some of it so that might be why
I love how he always works out his songs initially and molds them into a finished project.
I think that is what every musician does lol
the creative process at work. sweet!
id love to hear a full studio acoustic version
This is so awesome
I love at 0:26 when he smirks cause he knows fine that riff is killer.
I heard it originally was a BCR riff!?
I don't see it..he's just jamming around power chords
this is such a pure insight on songwriting. thank you so much for posting this
He really understands how songs work Tom. So many people are amazing guitar players and write utter shite music. Love this video..!
Very very true. He's an underrated song writer.
Gary_Curtis totally true. Shredding doesn't do anything for me musically or emotionally.
He said once he wrote dammit...he knew how to write songs
it was mark who wrote dammit

this is on the Start The Machine dvd... One of the most inspirational and simply awesome movie-mentaries I've ever seen...
The smile that Critter gives at 1:12... he knew this was gonna be a fire song
This song and the whole album blew my mind the first time I listened to it I just sat and listened to the whole album back to back and every song was a banger
Timeless album, I agree. Those who know, know.
Amazing love Tom on the acoustic - pretty rad
thats one of my fav bits of the start the machine dvd. love this song so much.
even from this vid we can find out that how creative and amazing guitarist he is...🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
This relaxes me so much, pretty much can make me sleep when I can't. :'D.
This is my favorite AVA song CX
That's part true. He doesn't play hard stuff, but his creativity makes up for it.
the start the machine dvd is a must have for every ava or blink fan, after watching this dvd you will love this band and tom even more!!!
When Critter was live, man I miss this AVA
Tom is definitely ahead of his time
I love Tom. Tom is a genius and great artist
i love tom delonge its awesome to watch serious writers recording when youre in the studio hanging out , id love to meet tom i was hoping for blink dates but there are no US dates
And People say he isnt a good guitarist! HA!!
He is Amazing!!!
ForeverTom:)
He’s not the best guitarist out there , but he is definitely a great composer and knows the direction he wants to take when making a song.
@digz1590
It's not always about guitar skill. Sometimes, it's about originality. Tom has a lot of that. Kudos to Tom.
Tom is very talented with how he writes songs and lyrics, :) one of my idols for that :D
Tom is a melody master
This man is a damn genius
So beautiful. 2020
this is on par with the creation of life.
I wish this had been on the DVD! Amazing.
so effin sick i met him hes awsome one hes my hero
i totally agree. that guy has a great musical mind doesn't he?
love this, best ava song by a mile!!
R.I.P Critter, Such a Talent and Intergral Part in AvA.
This is so excellent. I might have to cover it.
this is so cool
As Tom got older his pronunciation of”head”got better
SOOOOO UNDERRATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
they should do this song in an acoustic show
i like his Gibson ES-333. all the colors are sick.
1:43 “pretty rad” indeed it is! Amazing riff
he plays it so perfectly
Hes the genius behind Blink...that drop D is aweaome!!!
I love how Tom mumbles the lyrics whilst playing the song but you can still clearly hear what the lyrics are
He was probably still working on the lyrics
@@DetroitLionsDynasty probably true this was 2005 and the album was released in 2006
haha. he's having so much fun with this
The drop D is class
Fucking awesome
the war acoustic sounds rad too
musical genius!!
shhhhh quiet
genius at work!!!!!!!!!!!
I love how Tom mumbles the lyrics as he plays lol haha
assuming he tuned it down at 3:20 without pressing down on the frets I'd say the beginning is standard tuning and after he tunes it it's Drop D (only the first string), but i could be wrong :D
Tom is a genius creative
Some people dont have talent... some people do... and then there's tom at the top! insane riff!!! great song!!! check out LOVE if you like it!
kickass!
amazing!!!!
@Lutoniro Look Up Ultimate guitar for tabs , its the exact same as the studio version , its in drop d tuning the second version of it he plays
he's good at what he does,no doubt about that
u know what i would really love for an interviewer to ask tom why he doesnt go back to his fender or remake them
wow hes playing a Martin DX1 3:09 a $549 dollar guitar, sounds good :)
George Houghton well he's rich as fuck
Is it a full size?
Janek Sebastian Koenig no he’s saying that it’s such a cheap guitar but it sounds so good.
@Vegeta42 He probably started using his ES-333 because it's a bit lighter than a fender and it would be alot easier to play after his back injury
awesome
gran guitarrista y cantante.
Cantante no, guitarrista sí, muy creativo.
a moment of creation, great song best modern band out there
yes it is
SCREAMING!
this is sweet.. ive learn the tabs.. by watching it.. lol
nice tom.. i hope blink cover some ava songs.. :D:D
its so easy to learn...
his sound shine, if you can understand me...
Yeah, I hear you.
I love when he drop in d
:) i love him. he is so amazing i would kill just to spend a day with him listening to that :)
the origanal recording is in d but this acoustic song is in standerd notice at the end he tunes his guitar down to d to play the origanal version
he is actually like the best guitarist isnt he???
Exactly
i like the sig fender in the background
That is Critter. He is the AVA "engineer" is what Tom calls him. And this video isn't rare it is on the Start the Machine DVD.
Tom DeLonge is the most talented guy on earth
this was for the documentary Start The Machine
That the hell is that hand position when he plays barre chords where his pinkie is above his ring finger? I've been watching him play and playing myself for years and I still have no idea what he's doing. lol
beautiful times.... =D
This is truly the best song off the album besides The Adventure... =D
cool!
i wish i was tom
wow
This is like watching God carve the 10 Commandments into the stone plates.
@Blink182PaulC i think that the sticker inside is white so it looks like its his tshirt lol yeh it looks weird once you look at it like that lol.
pause at 4:21.. at the very end.. when was that?? looks like old school tom delonge..
damn he's so cute.
I love him♥
you can search for tabs in google
Aliens are wanting to communicate through music it seems
nicee
Let me go. Please
Nice
You can tell Tom recycled the war from box car racer I feel so the riff is very similar
rad tommy^^
Wowww
