i hate how underrated this band is as musicians.
Underrated all the way around. Jared is such a strong vocalist. The guitarists rip. Beau has a great range. Blessthefall are so slept on, even today, it's almost heartbreaking.
@@spishyofficial honestly. They deserve more attention, awakening was a 10/10 for me, and I’m really new to screamo but god damn the album hit so well
@@spishyofficial You’re right about everything except Beau’s range. All his live videos are disappointing asf and I saw them live a few times and he’s just as disappointing. He’s a great studio vocalist and has great stage presence though 🤷🏻♂️
I don't understand why people freak out about the guitars not being directly plugged into an amp. Even if they didn't have an electric wireless amp, who fucking cares? They wrote the damn song and have played it hundreds of times and can probably do it with their eyes closed in their sleep. My god people these days are arrogant as hell.
My god. this is PURE talent right here... god damn
can;t argue wit dat
The way Elliot is sitting. Like a boss!
i love how when ever elliot plays, he plays it in a way that makes the song look more complex then it actually is.
AWESOME HAND WORK, WISH TO GET TO THEIR SPEED, NEXT COVER IS THIS SONG FOR SURE!
its one thing to be able to play that, but its a whole other thing to be able to write that stuff, these guys are seriously awesome!
what is it that elliot does that makes the basic techniques look really cool and difficult when he plays them
He has a lot of unnecessary movement coming from his fingers
it still looks cool though lol
@Muhamad Nadzim Accurately too.
I fucking love their guitar chemistry ⚗
Now, I really miss them :(
Eric should do more guitar solos
my jaw is on the ground :0
that second pre-chorus is killer to play arguebly the hardest part of the song
Blessthefall and The Word Alive have the best guitarists evar.
i use the same guitar & pick & everything that Eric does xD love jammin' this song.
What strings/gauge do you use for the drop c# stuff? Thanks. =]
Joshua Garcia - Elixir light to heavy, best strings
Thanks so much for choosing us, Blessthefall!!
just wow!
Just got all the merch. Finally.
I wish these guys could teach me some guitar.
Really good!!!
this song is fun to play.
Nice. Blessthefall rules and inspires me to play guitar more. Lol. Lovin those ESP's too.
@noobker just be happy they choosed you as the winners.. there were many other great covers out there.
Well spoken.
Your very welcome ;)
So sick
I like how Elliott's left hand working
You guys are amazing at what you do. Keep up the good work boys, you could really make it
im definately gonna do this!
Thanks bro!
Hey, can we stop fighting and enjoy the damn music? O.o
excellent cover guys should do more then
LIKE A BOSS
Elliot has some sick hands !
Forever alone Elliott doesn't look so forever alone...
esp rules!
Completely forgetting about the sweeping, but yeah, them stretches, the accuracy you have to have to hit the right frets, fuuuu-
Flying Fingers!
fall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
of course, it's excellent because they are the ones who made it.
Nice cover, i bet they win the contest.
Muy bueno, talento al 100% 🤘💎
Damn. These guys are good :o
I love your guys music my favorite is promised ones and i love your black guitar.
Okay I looked at my scale chart now and you win, the natural scale has one fret interval greater than the harmonic minor scale, such that the harmonic minor scale in 12th position in E standard has most of its notes on the 12th, 14th, and 15th frets with some on the 13th fret (same as the pentatonic blues scale, but has notes on the 13th fret unlike the pentatonic blues scale), while the natural minor scale in 12th position in standard E extends to the 11th fret extending the fret interval.
nice cover
great cover
i love eric!
1. They sit very wierd 2. How do they play this live 3. Best guitarists in the metal genre right here
@fwifvesson The whole reason of the competition was to win what was promised. So what is your point?
I like how they are playing guitar with sunglasses and elliot looks like he really trying and eric looks like its like piece of cake haha
Hola! Adónde puedo encontrar las tabs originales de ¨Promised Ones¨ si me pueden dar el link de una pagina gracias! Hi, where I can find the ORIGINAL TABS of ¨Promised Ones¨ Please Leave a link thanks C:
my boys :) amazing! ♥
If it helps, American standard ESP's usually have the model name on the twelfth fret
has this finished yet been waiting for the tutorial for ages "
You Google tabs for harmonic minor scale, and those are the only tabs you will ever need for the entire Awakening albumn.
question is more: how the hell CAN he sit like that xDDD
Like a boss lol.
@thecharliesence they have always been drop d. if not you can tell by the open chugs, derp
@Bj0RNare Yes he is new. His name is Elliott Gruenberg, he used to play for Before Their Eyes. :)
I think the sweeping in the solo is the easiest part of the song.
I think getting the intro @00:30 to sound right is impossible for me even though I try all of the musical theory and guitar technique it still doesn't help me because I just suck too bad.
Is Eric's guitar customized?
Because all the other Eclipse's have EMG humbuckers and he doesn't have those.
He's using Seymour Duncan JBs (passive) I think it's a regular esp eclipse with the pickups changed
i thought they said they would give there own video on how to play it? ive been waiting months.
Only Elliot is using an LTD Deluxe, Eric is using a straight up ESP Eclipse with seymour duncans put into it
@quackerofquack that was the winner of the Awakening Pre-order contest. not this guitar contest
Rocking out in flip flops like a boss
@ForgetTheForgiven that is correct...
Oh. I didn't say that natural minor and harmonic minor had a practically identical sound; I said that melodic minor and harmonic minor had a practically identical sound.
I don't know how to play natural minor so I will have to look at my scale charts now and see how it compares to the two above mentioned scales, the melodic minor and the harmonic minor.
I'm going to play it on acoustic and James is going to play the leads on Uke. Is this an automatic win?
EMG 60 and 81
elliot sits so cute !
@noobker gratz guys!
damn! whos the guy with black guitar? is he new? fvckin beast!!
OK HOW MANY PEOPLE BESIDES ME ATTEMPTED SITTING LIKE THAT
@ForgetTheForgiven Oh thanks ! :D
@FrederikThelin October 10th.
Check out my entry! Dual cover in HD!
eric does almost everything with downstrokes...epic shit :D
He seems like an official member if he is listed as a guitarist on the band's Facebook page.
esp eclipse II
1. Elliott is the rhythm guitarist
2. He is official and has been for a while...
@DinoandDansMusic tell that to bruce kulick, silenoz, george lynch, gus g, max cavalera, ron wood. willie adler, and michael wilton, and im pretty sure you buy an esp because its comfortable and is of good quality, not because it has emgs
May I ask if you send the guitar to Europe? Should I try?
I sit like Elliott
@XxxscooterfortxxX some of they're songs are played in C#, such as this one and another example is "hey baby, heres that song you wanted".
@TheBeastermaster how do you think every other music video is made?? theres a ton of reasons why they do it like that
@TheBeastermaster lol they did show how to play it :P They are still playing the exact same notes. The ONLY difference if they played in live and plugged in for the camera would be the audio. The way they did it is smart cause you get to see what they are playing as well as you hear crystal clear audio, whereas they might have missed a couple notes here and there if it were live. i guess it just preference tho, some ppl (like yourself) would rather hear it plugged in.....i can dig that
Haha awesome man! thanks for the correction! :) I was just posting because these guys are arguing over it being epiphone or gibson. when its neither!
Eric(white guitar) is lead, Elliot is rhythm, but as you can see they sometimes switch between lead and rhythm parts.
Eric almost makes the solo looks easy...Almost! xD
I have the ec-1000 vb, just like elliot, and have the same color pick is elliot, and the same strap O.o
@Goth3m3 if you knew anything about the band you'd know that the bassist does the screaming, and that the singer is just a singer. and he's amazing live, sings perfectly. i agree that the screams are a little harsh, but its not as bad as it could be.
3 months and I haven't received the guitar yet. Wtf
Gibson was the first company to ever create the 'electric guitar' made by Mr Les Paul himself, so i'm pretty sure Epiphone are a budget brand made and owned by Gibson.
Does anybody think they'll ever make the videos showing us how to play the song?
it says esp eclipse in his guitar headstock
i just noticed the guitars weren't plugged in
3:39 esp FTW
i have the guitar pick that elliot is holding WAH ^^
Flip flops are soo metal.
right then you'll see that the three scales are different, and that the one blessthefall uses is aeolian/natural minor.
