Killswitch Engage showing you guys how to play This Is Absolution from guitar world magazine august issue. here's the link for HQ • Killswitch Engage Less...
Joel definitely has more chops on guitar, but calling adam untalented is stupid. he plays guitar, drums (originally), records bass, and is a GREAT producer who has produced countless bands.
@@Alex-xg2od some people are so full of themselves that they have to create problems when there are none just as an excuse to climb up on the high horse. I bet jml is a Bernard Brother.
Joel is a very humble guy. There are glimpses of his incredibly slick technique all over the place but it tends to blend into the mix without being that obvious. I just think Adam and Joel have different strengths.
The typical 'metalhead' mentality on the comments' section here where people think just because Adam states that Joel plays clean, that he is not up to standard. That's not what he was insinuating at all. Grow up people, seriously.
well if they watched more of what adam d says about joel they would know that hes the real mastermind behind alot of the riffs, adam just adds a few parts to hash it out.
this is the best instructional video EVER. wanted to learn this song for a while and never could with the tabs. learned it in a half hour with this video. KSE RULES!!!!
"Joel plays clean". More of a statement about the quality of Joel's playing than a legit burn. I love the sound of both these guys before anybody kicks off.
@thedonutboy21 all you do is play the correct note with the volume turned down, and then use the volume dial to quickly turn the volume up and down at the right time. (I think it might be 2nd fret for one of them and 12th for another on drop C, but not sure...)
@guitarMetal911 I respect both guys equaly, (huge fan and all) but don't forget that Adam also produces a number of bands including KSE (exept the latest album) and he used to play drums in early killswitch.
Yo i need the 1st verse... thats the one part of the song i CANNOT figure out. Can someone help? Every tab is wrong and its hard to tell from this video
@0HamSlamwich0 Peavey 5150/splawn nitro/framos cobra + mesa cabinate + Maxon d808(like a ibanez ts but better) some delay+ emgs pick ups bridge 85 neck 81 +Dr strings 0.12 DROP C + skills= AMAZING TONE if you want to be cheap get a peavey 6505 + ibanez ts + emg picks ups + skils
oh, that's right. I forgot about that. haha. Well, I know they used boogies in their older performances and Ive talked to Joel and he said that they used Boogies for recording back then. I'm assuming that they used Boogies at some point then :)
If he only had just a smidge of distortion when Joel plays that clean part.....I think it would sound closer to the record. Like seriously, a very tiny amount.
I wouldn't say that Killswitch Engage is my favorite band (but they are awesome), but it's hard to find better guitarists than these two...not to mention, they're fucking hilarious.
what the hell is that chord adam plays at 5:36 ?? sure doesn't sound like a regular C power chord to me and I can't figure out anything that sounds like it played in that position.
Did you figure it out yet? I figured 4 years now, you'd know what he was doing, if not, He's playing an inverted chord by using a root and a low 5th, instead of the normal higher 5th.
I honestly love anything played in dropped C tuning because it gives that "heavy yet melodic" vibe! But I'm also a sucker for drop B tuning like from bands like mudvayne, parkway drive etc... to name a few!
This is for all of you who have no idea what guitars are; Adam D is playing A parker fly , Joel plays a Caparison deliner or a Angus. These guitars have the valor of 3000$-5000$
Killswitch always have the most brilliant guitar tone..
They use maxon gear
Ridiculous tone.
The simplest the better
yup the mastering engineers really know how to sculpt their sound for them
Pre-chorus = one of the most beautiful metal riffs ever!!
Kevin C Totally !! :-) 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
2:58 Every time I listen to this part I get chills. Amazing dual guitar riffs
adam's guitar tone is so crunchy, i love it
Joel definitely has more chops on guitar, but calling adam untalented is stupid. he plays guitar, drums (originally), records bass, and is a GREAT producer who has produced countless bands.
pivetlord13 his own and as I lay dying being one of the best
Who even called Adam untalented? Never seen anything bad written about him
@@Alex-xg2od some people are so full of themselves that they have to create problems when there are none just as an excuse to climb up on the high horse. I bet jml is a Bernard Brother.
Literally never heard any of that
Joel is a very humble guy. There are glimpses of his incredibly slick technique all over the place but it tends to blend into the mix without being that obvious. I just think Adam and Joel have different strengths.
Joels tone is just nuts.
Bridge is so amazing in this song! Every chord and sounds just fits together so beautifully :D
Thats all Joel
that chorus is amazing
tightest guitar duo out there. their synchronized slides @ 1:40 is so satisfying
Gotta admit... It does sound pretty badass in slow
The typical 'metalhead' mentality on the comments' section here where people think just because Adam states that Joel plays clean, that he is not up to standard. That's not what he was insinuating at all. Grow up people, seriously.
The clean part is even the harder part of the two. Anyone that says he's getting the clean part because he's less skilled is a troll or ignorant.
well if they watched more of what adam d says about joel they would know that hes the real mastermind behind alot of the riffs, adam just adds a few parts to hash it out.
@@shadybrain3424 right Joel writes the melodic parts, Adam writes the weird parts
this is the best instructional video EVER. wanted to learn this song for a while and never could with the tabs. learned it in a half hour with this video.
KSE RULES!!!!
the cow and train noise are super cool......
how the fuck do they keep coming up with such amazing riffs XD
i love their riffs. they are pure genius for coming up with heavy but such beautiful music
i love this because they really dont seem like they dont want to do this
also it helped me get a "much closer to adams tone" tone on my guitar
I always love this guys... most funniest and most down to earth guys they are & talented also...
Their riffs are so unique creative and catchy badass
Gotta be one of my favourite bands for sure! :)
That intro riff is so amazing
" verse two, in uh, cut time, with the...chuggah chuggahz..." what a genius with words:D
Adam is an amazing producer that's why I like him!!
pre-chorus - perfect!!!!
oh man i love those funny little noises they make at each other 6:35 lol
They play so well with one another! Awesome song!
Beautiful guitar tone
Holy Shit, how a guitar can produce these sounds.
I love it, simply I love it.
no one fucking cares who is best, they both are awesome musicians
"Joel plays clean". More of a statement about the quality of Joel's playing than a legit burn. I love the sound of both these guys before anybody kicks off.
the pre-chorus is not sploogerific its awesome!!!!! these guys rock
1st and 2nd verse riff, as well as the bridge riff is just too fucking amazing, these guys really made the best riffs apart from aild
FREAKING AMAZING TONE. Even with crappy youtube compression :D
@thedonutboy21 all you do is play the correct note with the volume turned down, and then use the volume dial to quickly turn the volume up and down at the right time. (I think it might be 2nd fret for one of them and 12th for another on drop C, but not sure...)
That prechorus is just too cool
2:58 . I got chills on my balls.
I love joels caparison dellinger guitar. Adams Parker Fly is pretty sick too, ive never seen him use it live.
@guitarMetal911
I respect both guys equaly, (huge fan and all) but don't forget that Adam also produces a number of bands including KSE (exept the latest album) and he used to play drums in early killswitch.
@SuperTy1212 Thank you so much... lmao. ive been looking for tabs for months. THANK YOU! =)
gotta love that headstock
I wish they went through their gear in this video. These guitar sounds are amazing. Anyone knows what amps they play here?
Adams pre-chorus part is so beautiful. KSE FTW!!!!!!!!
hey do you have the link for the info you just gave?
I LOVE KILLSWITCH ENGAGE
@JBear4492 same here, cool to know the real way they play it! Awesome song.
Id LOVE it if anyone can tell me what amps they are using
I like how they harmonise !
adam is amazing
@macaframa12 its a TAT model
u want a link to guitar world magazine its in the august 2009 issue
@macaframa12
Yeah, I know, I play guitar too, but I kinda meant those tricks they do at 0:37.
Well, I meant for Distortion. I know they use Rectos and 5150s and doezens of other amps, just kinda wondering what was used in this vid
Captains of Crunch and metal escapades. Love these guys ❤️🔥🖤🤘🎶🎸🎶🎸🎶
Cant believe how much their stuff sounds like old Helloween just tuned down! Love these guys though. Great song. These guys are so creative!
I love the part when Joel plays clean the melody just gives me chills
wait in the introduction (before they appear) is it the same song (This is Absolution)?
This is awesome.
Adam and Joel are hilarious.
link please? I heard him say he used a Soldano Slo
What are the chords for the pre-chorus.
i learned this by ear and i was so wrong on the prechorus. everything else i was pretty close on if not correct
Anybody have the tabs for pre chorus guitar 2?
Yo i need the 1st verse... thats the one part of the song i CANNOT figure out. Can someone help? Every tab is wrong and its hard to tell from this video

@guitarMetal911 they´re both good dude. adam´s leads are always good.
you do it
what type of guitar does joel have???
dude wt guitar is adam using
oh, that's right. I forgot about that. haha. Well, I know they used boogies in their older performances and Ive talked to Joel and he said that they used Boogies for recording back then. I'm assuming that they used Boogies at some point then :)
Another funny lesson
What makes you think that?
nice
@CSE7ENP caparison or something like that. all i know is that they are japanese and they don't make them anymore :(
If he only had just a smidge of distortion when Joel plays that clean part.....I think it would sound closer to the record. Like seriously, a very tiny amount.
Cuz he's the best
They always have the most awesome tone. WANT, dammit.
I wouldn't say that Killswitch Engage is my favorite band (but they are awesome), but it's hard to find better guitarists than these two...not to mention, they're fucking hilarious.
theses guys are hilariose!!!!1
Metalcore God
what the hell is that chord adam plays at 5:36 ?? sure doesn't sound like a regular C power chord to me and I can't figure out anything that sounds like it played in that position.
Did you figure it out yet? I figured 4 years now, you'd know what he was doing, if not, He's playing an inverted chord by using a root and a low 5th, instead of the normal higher 5th.
And ... like anything done by Experts ... it looks effortless...
What is that guitar Adam is using? I don't think it's a caparison
His signature parker
my birthday is in 2 months...i want adam's guitar tone please
ive always got mine in Drop C because of the nice open power chord and most of the metal songs i learn are in drop c
I think its the best overall tuning
@@JokerCat9 if your a 14 yr old guitarist it is
@@GeorgeZimmermenWhat’s wrong with Drop c 😂
I honestly love anything played in dropped C tuning because it gives that "heavy yet melodic" vibe! But I'm also a sucker for drop B tuning like from bands like mudvayne, parkway drive etc... to name a few!
yea i note the HQ
i remember years ago this video was high resolution. what happened now?
i think they deleted it and this guy uploaded again but with low res.
_We lose resolution as time moves on._
at o:37 my brother was like eww they farted!!! hahahahaha i started laughing
Pre Chorus has to be the sexiest thing ive ever heard.
Killswitch is pure beastness
he said it in the my cruse tutorial they do barney. adam writes 90% of the music
Looks like they never get bored of playing with their guitars.
_Pretty heavy_
This is for all of you who have no idea what guitars are; Adam D is playing A parker fly , Joel plays a Caparison deliner or a Angus. These guitars have the valor of 3000$-5000$
they are genius and hilarious
@6blackened66 buy the books then
I know that song on guitar, but, how the fuck does Joel make that sounds at 6:34???
Haha 6:33 'till 6:40 :D
These guys are so awesome
@guitarMetal911 im sure adam writes alot of the stuff hes smarter than you think with his musical theory
Wait... do they DOWNPICK the intro?!?! what???
No, it’s impossible to downpick the intro
They use the amp's distortion indeed; they just boost it with an OD.
So how'd you suppose they make those funny noises. Any help guys, I'm stuck?
ya on the head stock it says 'throughandthrough" lol
agree with u man but joel is a very very good guitarist as well =]
