In this video I perform the guitar parts to "My Curse" by the awesome band Killswitch Engage. This is a fan video, with due credit and appreciation for the creators of this music and is meant to serve as an educational video for the like-minded KsE fans.
The lessons this week will be:
1) Analyzing the Outro harmonies
2) Building new chord voicings
Full song tab can be found on: tinyurl.com/6q5...
For song lyrics go to: tinyurl.com/8a4...
Love music - play it!
Gear I use for this:
Guitar: Ibanez GAX70
Picks: SIK PIK D35
Strings: Ernie Ball RPS 11-48 - เพลง
Everyone complaining about this not being a lesson on the song can just click on any of the dozens of other videos (including one by the band themselves!) if they really can't find tabs. This video (and your others like it) are awesome for really breaking down the relationships between notes in a simple riff pulled from the song, and I love the fact that you do it all in one take instead of editing out any mistakes in your lesson.
It's been a couple years since you posted this (and all your other KsE vids), but I hope you do more videos like this one in the future.
+David Baji Thanks David. Yes, the idea was not the learn the song itself. As you say - Adam and Joel of KsE already do a great instructional video on it. So, the idea was to learn from the song itself and look under the hood of composition, so hopefuly after digging deep into it one can write a song like that themselves. Thanks again for your support. - Boyan
FINALLY somebody that explains the theory behind it !!!! Thanks for those beautiful chord inversions :) very usefull lesson !! Keep it up !! :)
THANK YOU!
Most the lessons for this song suck and they don't show shit. Why don't you make one for us smart guy
I see a lot of comments saying that they would rather just learn the song, but as you've stated in an earlier reply, there is a lot of ways to learn this song. I, for one, love what you are doing with this series and enjoy any help I can get with songwriting as a whole. Keep up the great work!
amazing job, i want to start playing guitar now just from this video :D
Dude...Sooooo sweeeeet! Thanks for the tutorial and amazing cover[:
Thanks very much for props! I am glad you find it useful and fun to watch!
Thank you very much. You've made my New Year's celebration.
I love what I do and I am pleased that you like it!
Thank you very much! I thought that the chord analysis might be a fun thing to explore. I shall continue doing so for future vids!
Thank you. I love this stuff and I'm glad you find it fun!
You're true metalist
With a daily supply of iron in the blood \\mm//
I know im late, but thanks this is great!
Never too late :) Thanks very much for checking it out.
Thank you very much. Go for it and enjoy. The world needs more guitarists! :)
Favourite song by KSE, awesome playing.
THIS IS SO FUCKING AWESOME , BUT THEIR ONE THAT STAND OUT IS YOUR PLAYING ON A $99 GUITAR BECAUSE I HAVE THE SAME ONE , BUT I PUT SOME EVO PICK UP ON MINES, DONT KNOW IF YOU DID THE SAME BUT YOU MADE THAT GUITAR SOUND LIKE A $1000 GUITAR , EPIC JOB MAN
Thank you so much. These are the stock Ibanez pickups. The guitar now has mid-level Dimarzios. It's amazing how a few magnets can improve the tone!
I keep coming back to your vids of KSE stuff because of your tone. It's absolutely brutal.
What was your gear setup back when did these KSE tutorials? They're heavy and phat as hell in the tone.
Thank you so much. The tone was squeezed out of a POD processor, which was nothing special on its own. The trick was in following the same technique / pattern as producer / engineer Andy Sneap had done on the record. Two double-tracked guitars - not hard panned both left and right but in a spectrum. This is very good example of how it is the recording and production of track are the real mystery behind the guitar sound. No, it's not possible to get that tone from 1 guitar alone. The recording was a long processed, indeed.
@@boyanboguitar I've heard that advice before from people like Steven Wilson, Vai, and others.
They say that it's the ONLY way. The small imperfections between the double layers tracks is what gives it some much depth. No chorus of synthetic method will replicate it.
I'm not a very good guitar player but I love hunting for that perfect tone that fits my taste and you've got a sick tone in this track. I'm hoping to emulate it. Hunting for tone is why I've started building guitars recently, trying my hand at being a luthier.
What distortion did you use?
And since I'm not very well educated in the art of shred yet - what's a POD Processor?
@@Nurhaal Fantastic. I love the artists you mentioned and a fan and student of their music. You are on a good track with understanding the recording process. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts, so individually those guitar tracks don't sound great - but together they become "massive."
I didn't use any additional distortion. All the effects came from the POD PRO X (Line 6 company) processor. It has built-in amplifier digital emulators. I set it to the Mesa Boogie setting (close enough) - it is a very "dry" signal - no delays, reverbs or choruses (as you pointed out). I find it works well for the recording. These devices are great for playing with tone - like the Kemper, the Helix (Line 6) again, and many others.
Dude your are awesome at guitar and so switched on when it comes to music and theory, brilliant.
Thank you so much!
hoooooooo man you rock
much thanks
Thank you so much.
Go for it, guitar is fun!
perfectly playing bro!
Erdem GÜNGÖR Thank you very much :)
that was amazing!!
Steve Thank you sir!
Thank you very much indeed.
Thanks Li, you're very kind.
I am sorry that the theory part does not thrill you, but I find it to be a very easy way of learning and transcribing music. I teach private lessons on skype as well, and I find that using cool music (like KsE) to teach some theory concepts works fine.
(If you have a theory question - please message me!)
I can't do the LL style teaching because I have to pay a licensing fee to teach people how to play that song - rather than extract some lessons from it! Bo
Dude thank you for taking the time to dissect and explain this song in detail... btw your clean tone sounds freaking amazing...what are you using if you dont mind me asking
Thank YOU very much!
I used my PodXt for all these recording. This tone is a clean Jazz amp with a bit of chorus, tube echo delay, and a 35% spring reverb. I don't remember if I used the neck or bridge pickup. Try both! :)
Thank you so much. You can find the link to the tab in the information section - under the video! Cheers!
Gracias! Me alegrе que te haya gustado
Thanks for your reply !
I can still learn a lot from your playing though I dont understand most of the theory part : (
Thanks for your lesson again and pls keep it coming !
Li
Hi L.C.,
I use the same tone as with remainder of the song, with the addition of a little delay. It comes off nicely with palm muted parts! I have a Line 6 patch that I can send along if you use Line 6 gear.
Cheers
Hi, sorry to say I've never used Guitar Rig. I use a podxt for all the sounds. It works fine for me.
thnx dude.......plz can u figure out a present of this song on GUITAR RIG for pc.....PLZ
THNX.....!!
No problem. I use a little bit of Chorus and a splash of Delay on a clean channel :)
The Delay creates the bouncy around. Is that what you are after?
I would love an acoustic tutorial of this :)
+You gotta be kiddin me. Well, go for it and do one! I'll watch it, I promise :)
I tried :/ Im pretty good at guitar but not that good
great cover! please tab of the song!
The tab is available via the songsterr link
Ganhou um inscrito ! :D
Please of theme fallible my curse Please
Hi there. Are you taking about a particular part of the song, please?
Hey Question! Can you please tell me how you play the lead to the chorus? The way I play it seems different from the song, and from your cover
Hi there! You are referring to the motif in the Chorus, which is the same as in the Introduction, only played with distortion rather than with a clean tone... correct?
Yes, I can clarify that. Please follow the link under the video to the tab. I use a slightly different fingering to play those parts, different to those that Adam D of KsE would use; the reasons there are purely physiological. Adam D. can pull off a wider finger stretch than I can, so I choose to play the motif closer together. Don't worry, it's still very much the exact notes. Cool?
Thanks for replying so quickly! I appreciate your help! Thank you(:
hey dude...sorry this is the account of my wife.. well just want to know what is the name of the effect of the intro ? before the distortion...
i really was wondering how to play the riffs and the heavy stuff
corey yoo I'd love to help you out. What do you need to know more specifically?
Boyan Guitar at :40 seconds the guitar on the smaller screen starts doing some awesome riffs and i was just wondering what the tabs on that are so i can practice it lol trying to learn metal now
Boyan Guitar btw awesome vid
Thanks Corey! Ah, I see. You are taking about the song's main riff. Here is a link to a decent tab of the song - www.songsterr.com/a/wsa/killswitch-engage-my-curse-tab-s23152t0
I edited a lot of tab while doing the series but I haven't edited this one in particular, but it should get you started.
Thanks for the thumbs up man!
Could you teach me how to play
in person
Gaven Seelye I'd love to. I do teach. The biggest question would be - if we live at the same spot at the moment? If not, are Skype lessons an option for you? Cheers - B
One more question, I clicked on the link and it didn't take me to the tab. I tried clicking on Prime Tabs and took me to another website. Is that where your tabs are?
Hiya. The link works for me, it links to a tab on Songsterr. There you will find the original fingering for the part. If that's troublesome for you, let me know and I'll transcribe my version. It's easy all around :)
If you could transcribe it that'd be nice! Thank you!
I got you covered. It's done. Where can I send it to?
You can send it to my email at GuitarDude45@gmail.com! You rock! Btw great cover forgot to mention xD
No problem whatsoever. GP5 file format okay?
Man, you are great !
but too much theory.....which I dont understand at all
I hope to see more "lick library" teaching style in your future vids !
Cheers
Li from China : )
Thanks dude; The cats at LL do it best. I like to explore the principles behind the music. In my opinion, it makes learning easier!
that sg though..
Nope. An equally unsightly Ibanez GAX :)
Are you Bulgarian

I don't know what song you're teaching but that's not My Curse.
Howdy! You are partially correct. The description below the video says what I am teaching here. It's more of an extrapolation of the song that the song itself ;)
Boyan Boiadjiev Sorry I was watching this on my tablet and couldn't read the discription.
Anyway your cover was great.
waterblonk Quite alright. Thank you for checking it out :)
This is grate and all but can you just teach the song
Yes, and quite a lot of people do just teach the song. I am more interested in teaching you how to write songs like this :) It is the "teaching one to fish" rather than "giving you a fish" situations. On the serious side, there is a great video of Adam and Joel teaching the tune for Guitar World. It would have been funny for me to say that I can do a better job of teaching it than the people who wrote it ;)
