If you’re wondering why this song only uses 4 of the strings, it’s because this song was actually recorded on a 4 string tenor guitar. Wes still switches to a tenor for this song to this day.
Ok you said tenor twice so that proves you don't know what you're talking about. It's a four string BARITONE. Also no one that hasnt read this or found out from another source would ever look a at a cover of a nu metal song and go "hey he's only using*x* amount of strings. And don't even say "I did" because you didn't over half the shit you said was wrong
I recently realized this too. As a kid the lyrics were too much and prevented me from listening to them but now as an adult I can hear the genius of Wes
Digging into it he's taking the complete melodic line and removing certain notes (like jazz, it's the notes you're not playing) The way it bounces with Sam rivers bass makes it sound almost played backwards.
I hate people saying shit like that. there's no wrong admiting that u love a bunch of early metal songs and bands. I feel like people have this fear of admiting they enjoyed nu-metal and limp bizkit. Such a sheep mentality. I was like that once but frankly i don't give a fuck anymore. I'm near 30 and i love the first 2 albums of Limp Bizkit, My way,Nookie,Break Stuff,Faith etc etc All these are Nu-metal classics
@@dark3rthanshadows I wasn’t in them back in the day but Nookie came across my TH-cam feed last year and I’m a big fan now. My favorite songs are Nookie and My Generation. Fred talks about Generation X in the latter song, and that’s what I am. I am 3 years older than him and that’s makes me regret not paying attention to them back in the day but on the other hand like them even more. Wes is in his late 40’s and I love his guitar style. Hell, the WHOLE BAND JUST ROCKS!
Did you have to modify that guitar to use those strings and put them in that tuning? I remember pretty much ruining my old ESP trying to go bigger and lower than the guitar was clearly meant to go.
It wasn’t really a problem on this guitar, although it’s far from perfect. The intonation, fret buzz and string tension will always be a compromise with this wide range of string sizes.
What make Wes amazing is that he can put out something so simple (I belive everybody with descent guitar skills can replicate this guitar filling), but yet sound so comlementary and perfect when the song come out.. So Simple and yet so impactfull..
from what I can deduce... the tuning from low to high must be... LOW F#, F#, B, E, G#, C#, or at least thats how I'd play it. Also, BEST cover of this song online!
Great cover. The problem that I always have with videos like this is, it's extremely hard to hear what people are actually playing with their guitars because the backing track still has WES's blaring guitar and how do we know what @STFXLMS is actually playing? However the case, this song is rad. Thanks
thats why i always recommend for cover vidos that you split your audio. have what your playing through the left channel and the backing on the right track. easy to mix and easy to cutout the backing channel ;)
Loved and still love the Song live back then. Don´t judge me, I feel in my guts it´s a tiny bit off the tact in the first verse. Still well done, I couldn´t do it in ages. And man the camera angle is vibrating.
Wes actually played this tune on a custom 4 string baritone guitar. Not exactly sure what tuning that was in, but it definitely featured that low F#. This cover I made was also kind of to showcase how to play it on a normal 6string.
Such a great cover , i seee the video 30 times now,🤙🏻 pls cN you tell me what exact model of Maya lp you have? I fucking love you guitar, and the sound you ger in the video too. Thanks for advance, keep rocking😍

Im wondering why its not a 3 string tenballs gaytar?
@@hassaface5204 Asking the real questions here.
You must be super cool.
It's a baritone guitar.
Wes Borland is and was criminally underrated.
Fact!
I recently realized this too. As a kid the lyrics were too much and prevented me from listening to them but now as an adult I can hear the genius of Wes
Excellent. Wes is an underated guitarist and this cover is ridiculously satisfying.
yeah, him and otto sort of the cores, they create music not just skills
I never realized how good that clean verse riff is.
I didn't realize myself, before I actually figured it out by watching Wes playing it live. Great riff writer, that guy.
Digging into it he's taking the complete melodic line and removing certain notes (like jazz, it's the notes you're not playing) The way it bounces with Sam rivers bass makes it sound almost played backwards.
I ABSOLUTELY felt the same too!❤
Right??!!
This shit is so classic! Instant nostalgia
I believe this is the best type of cover video. One camera, no edits. Just perform it all the way through. Well done.
This proves it's never too late to post a "best cover on the internet" of any decades-old song.
That was simply awesome
Amazing they could construct a whole song around that riff
Nu metal in a nutshell
When its a riff that good its all you need
influenced from hip hop, using a sample on a loop to create a beat
They literally constructed a song called Nookie around that riff lol
I know that song, from a band called Boiler.
Yes, those guys are soooo good!! I didn't know Limp Bizkit did a cover...
I heard your version before Limp Bizkit's cover ... (not fake ahaha)
Whats going on? Nookie is a cover?
@@BiRDiEHere Its not a whoosh because I realize i dont know the joke and I asked for context.
@@BiRDiEHere Dont be sorry... just tell me the reference lol
"For me personally, Wes Borland is one of the coolest guitarists out there. " _exactly.
What a truly unique guitar player Wes is.
Not a fan of Limp Bizkit but Nookie will forever be a Nu-Metal classic.

It always pleases me to hear someone that's not a fan of a band recognize any of their tracks or albums. Good man.
Borland is awesome!
Great Riffs!
You did a great job here, Man!
Wes Borland one of the badass guitarist you'll ever know. He's unique style is fuckn 🅒🅞🅞🅛.
Sick tone!
Thanks! Tried to keep it as close to the original as possible.
its crazy and fu... amazing
@@STFXLMNS what amp are you using for the dirty tone?
@@RuskiMetalhead I don't know about him but Wes always used Dual and Triple Rectifiers

As a kid i always wondered how they got these sounds and how they played it...
same
I didn't even understand the tabs for the song, like what do you mean the 6th string is on F or whatever key from the depths
@@FeelMetalManbasically it's a different guitar tuning than the normal tuning,so wes can play it more convenient for his style
@@rifqoadzkiya2002 oh yeah I meant 20 years ago
Wes Borland, man... so criative... a true groove machine
i WATCHED THIS THREE TIMES ...i HAD NO IDEA WHAT HE WAS WHAT HE WAS DOING. This is so inspiring , Thanks for this. Guitar from an alien culture.
That doctor who bit wtf!
Shit. I didn’t realize how talented Wes is till I saw this cover. Fuckin’ Genius.
How was this recommended 4 years after it was uploaded? Either way I’m glad I got to watch this.
That guitar line is beyond genius
Dude 😂 Bizkit goes so hard. This riff is too good, great cover boss!
I remember when Wes came out with this 4 string guitar to play this weird stuff. I was blown away
What make Wes amazing is that he can put out something so simple (I belive everybody with descent guitar skills can replicate this guitar filling), but yet sound so comlementary and perfect when the song come out.. So Simple and yet so impactfull..
from what I can deduce... the tuning from low to high must be...
LOW F#, F#, B, E, G#, C#, or at least thats how I'd play it.
Also, BEST cover of this song online!
That’s exactly the tuning I used! Thanks.
oh, nevermind my other comment!
I don’t understand. F# is higher than the normal E ???
@@Tyt130 I understand the confusion. in this case, think backwards rather than forwards. tuning down almost a full octave.
@@andyconnrock Legendary, thank you mate
Best cover in TH-cam very nice
Thanks a lot! Can't go wrong with this song I guess ;)
Hands down, the best on TH-cam! ❤
BTW I love the Les Paul!
Nice cover man! Unic sound and creativity by Wes Borland
SUPER sound ! Love to see this live !
This cover is so perfect. It's so crisp and rocks hard too.
at last. A decent cover of limp bizkit. Thank you
I'm glad I got this video recommended to my 4 years later
Great cover.

Yeah you’re totally right. It’s almost like there are no good backing tracks without Borland’s guitar track.
Good ears. I can hear everything he plays but then again I have really well trained ears
Agreed completely
thats why i always recommend for cover vidos that you split your audio. have what your playing through the left channel and the backing on the right track. easy to mix and easy to cutout the backing channel ;)
Kki
What a beautiful guitar 💜
Like how you get down on the last chorus .. I felt that !!
OMG!! Pero que tremendo sonido! Suenas brutal bro!!
Nice of Wes Borland to teach us this song for us in this vid
I had no idea what the guitar was doing in the verses. It's such a tiny riff, but it's really bouncy and complements the bassline really well.
delicious... great job, man... wes is a guitar hero, like morello, welch, delson or carpenter... tenebrous and penetrant riffs
They say 'the Architects tuning' ..
It's definitely 'The Nookie tuning'
Great job.
Love Wes & LB
Shut up man.. This is f delicious dude.. I had eargsm.. Awesome job.. Wes should proud of you man..
Thanks a lot man!!
Wes borland make it look simple and won a million heart❤
Damn that sound!! \,,/
It might be tough on 6 string as Wes had played this on 4 string (baritone?) bass...i still like what he does on guitar...sick riffs.
Wes uses a custom 4-string guitar for this song. It’s tuned to low to high: F#, F# (octave higher), B, E.
What a cool tuning! Going to learn this one
Te rifas bien perron amigo, Saludos desde mexico. Y que sigan viendo los 90s... LIMP BIZKIT FOREVERRRRR
Best cover
That low on a lp.....mad man
This is a bad ass guitar riff.
Loved and still love the Song live back then. Don´t judge me, I feel in my guts it´s a tiny bit off the tact in the first verse. Still well done, I couldn´t do it in ages. And man the camera angle is vibrating.
And here I was thinking Architects invented F#F#BEG#C# tuning. Also never knew nu metal went lower than drop A, what a surprisingly informative cover

@@STFXLMNS and the information keeps on coming lol, never knew that about this song. Really sick job man
you fucking NAILED it man.
Thats a great cover right there!
THIS IS FKNG AMAZING!
Masterfully executed man, incredible job!
Man you really have it all on point. So effortless despite the way that janky intro is shaped in the tabs.
Amazing cover my guy, wow. What a weird tuning though, i didn't expect that lol
Great playing dude. Keep rocking....
Best cover i ever see
My Fav song🔥
its amazing that this song is only played on two strings lol
Is that bill lawrence in the bridge? Had no idea it worked so well on tunings that low
DiMarzio, but I don’t remember what type…
Ya extrañaba tus videos hermoso 😍 💕 ♥
Great cover! How did you manage to tune a Les Paul guitar to that tuning? What string gauges did you use? Explain xD
Thanks man!
Tuning is in the description! Should be pretty straight forward. I didn’t have any major problems with tuning or intonation…
Oh my God sound is power full❤️❤️😭
Masterclass
The TH-cam algorithm is throwing this up now! Sweet 😎😎
This is so cool 🔥
This shows how you and Wes were a good guitarist..
Very awesome man! Love limp bizkit ♥
""" BRUTAL""""
Amazing job. Yes he knows a thing or two about fat sound and groovy riffing.
Wes is such a beast
Fucking stellar!
Would you please share the tuning?
It's great to hear it covered so spot on a six string.
It's e standard with the low string dropped down 10 semitones to f#
Perfect 👍
can you tell me the tuning on a 6 string guitar, since wes is playing a custom 4 string #f#fbe. - Thank you!
Check the description
i now have a NON-Architects purpose for my Architects-tuned 6er in F# lol...... never realized i could jump straight from Nookie to Doomsday.....
Espectacular...🤯🤘🤘
Killer!!!
I’m curious about the string gauges to achieve that tuning.
What’s your scale length and gauges?
Great cover!!
So they came up with the architects tubing ? That’s wild
Very Cool Man +++
Amazing cover man!
Great work my friend!
Such a great cover , i seee the video 30 times now,🤙🏻 pls cN you tell me what exact model of Maya lp you have? I fucking love you guitar, and the sound you ger in the video too. Thanks for advance, keep rocking😍
Thanks man! I have no idea what model that is 😅 It’s an 80’s guitar, that’s all I know.
@@STFXLMNS keep rocking🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
This was originally recorded on a baritone 4 string guitar, nice job.
Great cover man!
Well done brother. ❤
Great job, Wes!!
Wesley H Borland connected to the server
Wesley Snipes just picked up the quad damage
Wesley Crusher left the game with 400 billion frags
Hey man, what gauge did you use for the low F#?
I'm using a pack of Ernie Ball 2625 (8string set). From high to low I used: 013 - 017 - 030w - 042w - 054w - 074w.
STFXLMNS Right, Thanks man! :D
Hey man, nice shot (Filter, 1834)
Cant believe he did it all for the nookie just so you could take the cookie
Now this is a freaking solid cover!!! \m/
Did you use a bass string? I thought he used a bass string for this song for the low E
Low F# is a .74
@@STFXLMNS nice
just LOVELY!!!!!!!!!
Question for the music theory people: what mode is that on the guitar riff from 0:31-0:50?
Phrygian scale I think.
@@STFXLMNS cool. was thinking the same
just curious, how did you get that low.. F# i think it is on a standard scale (im assuming) guitar?
Fat strings! The low F# is a .74 from an 8string set.
@@STFXLMNS wow! i use the 8 string set on my 7 string and i still have trouble tuning that low
nice cover.....!!!
this what we call a great content
Genius.
F# F# B E G# C# is such a cool tuning, planning to use it on some albums
Architects uses that tuning for some of their low F# songs like Gravedigger, Gone With The Wind, Doomsday, etc.
