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.
AILD wasan amazing band. I'd love to see them live again

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..
The Powerless Rise was their absolute peak!! Awakened was okay but a little more thrashy than melodic. I would’ve liked to see all the other albums they would’ve made after that album if only Tim didn’t do what he did 😪
There’s something about the emg pickups, the pick he uses and his picking technique that gives that really nice quack quack tone to his riffs like everything from shadows are security
Ooo and I forgot dimebag wrote walk in d standard and played it in d standard live. Most people think its e flat or drop d. But its actually d standard.
Wrong, he wrote and played in 440hz tunings instead of 432hz, which means his tuning is in the middle between d# and e standart "d#,5" so to speak. Don't believe everything on the internet people !!!
no, within destruction is in drop Eb. i got to meet phil and ask him. they tuned the guitars UP a whole step and then drop the E string. live they play it in drop D.
@prenner111 you also neglected to mention the fact that you originally were mistaken in that I wasn't commenting on the "metal"ness of the guitar, rather the pick ups in the guitar.
@jedivolt 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.
@MyEverConstantSmile Nick and Phil are unbelievably consistent when it comes to playing live. If you closed your eyes and listened you'd think you were in the studio.
@jedivolt But i've never see a Prs Singlecut with a tremolo and 2 vol 2 tone knobs. Only the tremonti has that setup. The Single cuts either have 2 vol 2 tone with a wrap around tail piece or a trem and 1 vol 1 tone.
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.
Quick question, when they play the chorus does Phil use a pitch shifter again, or do they both actually harmonize? I'm referring to when they play it live by the way.
@Harris2160 He uses a custom made Ibanez he has the closest you can get to is an ART200 its not the same, it doesn't have EMG's but thats about as close as you'll get
@sonicx2218 The problem is the song is mixed so well for the intro and layered very tightly.ITS VERY HARD TO HEAR BY EAR that they use DGDFAD tuning. I love this song tho
I'm just wondering, are all the songs of As I Lay Dying use this tuning ? Furthermore, are there any other bands using this tuning ? Since it's the time I've ever heard of it , I found it to be really genius...
I don't understand why everyone has to bash on emg pickups, if there was something better out there for playing metal people would be using it. Not saying other pickups don't sound good, but most metal bands don't use emg's because they suck, lol, they use them because TO THEM they sound good.
@sonicx2218 tabbers might be wrong, but some have a nice sense of how different notes are on different strings, i first learned this song from this video, but i also know it by a tabbers point of view because it's tabbed in the same note/different strings on dropped D tuning, nowhere near as hard as the real way, but to me there is no right or wrong way, nothing has to be perfect or exactly the same as the band itself, we aren't the band so we dont have to play exactly like them :)
i thought within destruction was tuned up a half step to F standard but then drop tuned. Eb A# Eb G# C F, but live they play it in regular Drop D. That's what nick said in an interview.

It is great. The tuning is just a bit ridiculous.
@@9hk38f why? Just changing one note to add an octave lol.
Its prob a memory you have of it
Nick and Phil are two WONDERFUL guitarists.
One of my favorite guitar duos, and one of my favorite bands. I'm so glad they're back!
great great band with huge riffs !
A well written song! Aild always stuck out in the genre.

Really epic opening riff sequence

2 of my favorite guitarists! They’re so great together like Mark and Willie!
Mark and Willie of Lamb of God?
AILD just love this 7 - 12 stritsh
My mans are BACK!
Thank you for so been kind as and man in sharing your knowledge
Maaaan I love that riff in the intro! I wish the whole song was played with that riff
I LOVE AILD AND GUITAR WORLD FOR DOING THIS!!!!!
Awesome guys, keep it up. :)
best wishes from Germany
Creativity excedes complexity and all that skills that isn't required to make something beautiful
I think this is their best album. This shit has so many heavy fucking riffs. Tim’s best vocal performances.
The Powerless Rise was their absolute peak!! Awakened was okay but a little more thrashy than melodic. I would’ve liked to see all the other albums they would’ve made after that album if only Tim didn’t do what he did 😪
There’s something about the emg pickups, the pick he uses and his picking technique that gives that really nice quack quack tone to his riffs like everything from shadows are security
That’s the EMG 81 sound for ya, that plus a tubescreamer boost in front of an amp, gets ya that sound in a heartbeat
Hands down my favorite metal band!!
PYRO 101881 Finally someone else said it
Ooo and I forgot dimebag wrote walk in d standard and played it in d standard live. Most people think its e flat or drop d. But its actually d standard.
Kool story bro

@@mioleser5184 thank you! Finally someone else who gets it
i've been playin it drop D all these years WTF?
I will have to try that tuning out, never really got into anything like that myself
I love that tuning!
no, within destruction is in drop Eb. i got to meet phil and ask him. they tuned the guitars UP a whole step and then drop the E string. live they play it in drop D.
@wickerman667 I agree. Blackouts are my choice for active pups.
@GusCabanillas the taps are in the magazines. This one is from November 2010. I'm not sure if guitar world puts up their tabs online though
@SuperGuitarMark this is just a PRS Singlecut... not every PRS Les Paul shape is a Tremonti Signature...
James Franco plays guitar for As I Lay Dying?! :O
Jake Bridges looks more like Leto there to me
More Guitar Lessons!!!
Please!
= O the tuning !! very cool idea !!
Man that tuning still trips me out to this day. Love these guys!
@untotenkid115 Its a Paul Reed Smith. Phil Sgrosso is endorsed by them. I'm assuming its a PRS Singlecut model with EMG's.
haha at 4:45 Nick wanted to keep going. The guy just never wants to stop playing!
3:39 aww nick wanted to play along!
@kylez3d its the amp settings, and mic placement. the prs's are sick
@prenner111 you also neglected to mention the fact that you originally were mistaken in that I wasn't commenting on the "metal"ness of the guitar, rather the pick ups in the guitar.
amazing
Is there any way to get this magazine if you're not from the US? Tried looking everywhere for an online format
What kind of Ibanez does Nich have there? 😻
brilliant song writing!
i like your guy's guitars

Believe so, Tremonti model
@@Marcelo_B_159 Damn it’s like time travel when 10 year old comments get replies but it’s quite fun. I’m still here ;)

wooooow i waited so long! nick
Amazing!!!!👍👍👍👍
0:17 - 0:24 Nick you show em the full power of your facial expression :D
@sXeSnowmansXe Don't be hating on EMG's they're great pickups, and sound even better with a PRS's thick tone
Man i feel like ultimate guitar never has accurate tabs
I feel the same way man.
phenomenal metal GL!!!
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.
@jedivolt the white one i think is an ibanez
@maneatingtoilets just turn the volume down a slight bit and it cleans up like a passive
Nick always looks serious lol
Awesome!
@Daemonfury1 nick is using seymour duncan blackouts
@maneatingtoilets these are basically a louder and clearer tone. Kinda needed for this genre.
Nick taken out of context at 5:30 "So I'm going to be playing with Phil."
phils prs is awwweeessoommee!
Quick question, when they play the chorus does Phil use a pitch shifter again, or do they both actually harmonize? I'm referring to when they play it live by the way.
@MrPppRrrAaaSss its the mark tremonti model. you can tell by the inlays
@TXGxTheChosenX I know right, they're amazing pickups
Does anyone know which guitar Nick is using?
@Harris2160
He uses a custom made Ibanez he has the closest you can get to is an ART200 its not the same, it doesn't have EMG's but thats about as close as you'll get
Jeez, you can definetly tell Nick is a strong christian.
@TheSchmittable I actually like the single cut aways that PRS make, its just, I'd never ever ever put EMG's in em.
Got 'em in my Schecter, I have Exploders in my Paul
RIP As I Lay Dying
You will be missed
Freakin Phil's guitar has birds on the frets. EPIC
All Prs guitars do
can somebody explain me ...2:48....
Is that a Black Cherry 2005 Gibson Les Paul I see?? I want!!!!
Wish they showed the main riff
@sonicx2218 The problem is the song is mixed so well for the intro and layered very tightly.ITS VERY HARD TO HEAR BY EAR that they use DGDFAD tuning. I love this song tho
Does anyone know where I can find a tab to play this as they do?
Hey guy,
This session was done for Guitar World Magazine in the Nov 2010 issue, the magazine has it tabbed out in this tuning.
qual é a afinação das Cordas?
what is the pitch of the strings?
@PrayerOfTheRefugees
Correct, it's such a crazy tuning i guess you could say. I'd say Nick and Phil are pretty awesome innovators in thinking this up
@sonicx2218 is there anyway you could send me the media files for the tabs? that would be awesome
I'm just wondering, are all the songs of As I Lay Dying use this tuning ? Furthermore, are there any other bands using this tuning ? Since it's the time I've ever heard of it , I found it to be really genius...
Pretty sure a lot of their stuff is in C standard
Ryan Embree Could be, thought I think it's mostly Drop-C (CGCFAD, not CADGBE). It's what I learned all of the songs I know by them in.
I meant C standard as in the guitar is in standard but tuned down to C... so CFA#D#GC NOT with just a dropped C.
Maybe their new stuff. Pretty much all of Frail Words Collapse, Shadows Are Security and An Ocean Between Us are in CGCFAD. This tuning is obscure.
Corbin Eisel the sound of truth is the only song on an ocean between us played in drop d.
what would that tuning of theirs be called?
DGDFAD...sounds like a folk open tuning!
HAYYY I use EMG 81/85s in my Les Paul too! xD
I don't understand why everyone has to bash on emg pickups, if there was something better out there for playing metal people would be using it. Not saying other pickups don't sound good, but most metal bands don't use emg's because they suck, lol, they use them because TO THEM they sound good.
@Zhaggysfaction dude, custom shop?^^
i like the old as i lay dying

Sounds even cooler at the slower tempo
nice
@kirkmetalupurass prs what? im getting one but i need to know the specific one
COOOL! SO COOOL!!!!
Are those pull offs of the 12th fret in the intro? Like wtf
i thought within destruction was tuned up a half step to F standard but then drop tuned. Eb A# Eb G# C F, but live they play it in regular Drop D. That's what nick said in an interview.
PRS with EMG!) very nice
Oh and what the hells wrong with emgs, unless your gonna be in some scene kid all open c power chord breakdowns band, then theyre pretty good.
woah. a metal PRS? YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Why the weird tuning though?!
Make it more metal
@IrishRocker7710 No, that's Escape the Fate.
@XMetalChefX
Agreed, I would of never guessed myself
they actually sound good
can someone tab this in this tuning? i got lost
@anubiskk How did you know?
