@@Stegibbon This riff started fights with friends because they SWORE he played in on the high e. I kept telling them. He's good but that's insanely difficult haha.
JB. You're my hero. Been saving up for that Ibanez and it gets here on the 15th Thanks for always shredding and making me want to be better than I am. You are in my book as the best guitarist alive
@@thefourthperspective Yeah personally, I think this was the record where the records started going downhill in terms of mixing. Just kinda turned into cookie-cutter album tones. Thrill Seeker and Messengers really had a raw, signature sound that sounded like the band, not like the mix engineer. They always have great music and songwriting, but I wish they could go back to sounding like August Burns Red and not Carson & Grant.
Makes you realize how talented they are when one guy breaks it down effortlessly. Amazing work JB. On point every note 99% won't realize how difficult that is nowadays to keep up. Dustin as well always blowing our minds wtf haha, you guys are pure inspiration brothers keep blessing us!!!
I honestly don't know what's more impressive? The riffs he's playing or the way he's fuck'n playing them, just swiftly switching picking fingers randomly throughout the song. What a monster \m/
Now I'm understanding why you said in a recent interview that if you could change anything about constellations, it would be the tracking on the guitars. This sounds so much beefier and fuller. Thanks for all these play throughs! You're brilliant JB
These play through are so amazing. Feels intimate getting to see inside your hero’s real life a little. JB, These videos of you playing your music are so fantastic. I’ve seen you so many times in person, but to actually see how it’s done for real... I love it man. Thank you for all you give to the world. To think we could be playing the same music in our house at the same time keeps me playing and happier in the hard times.
My son , nephew and I where forunate enough to catch them live in my hometown of Louisville KY in March. Right before the lockdown .. amazing show 5 ⭐🌟🌠💖💫
That's exactly what I had to do with King of Sorrow, and of course some technical parts I definitely was not playing right. Super frustrating. Also, good luck!
I'm just hear to express my love for this band. Thank you for doing these play through to hold us over until you guys can come back and dominate the stage once again! Cheers to you guys!
I like how the editing in this video makes you seem like a normal fan of the band doing a cover. Like one of these random low budget cellphone videos. It's like a glimpse into an alternate universe where you're just an average Joe who happens to be a beast at guitar. Also, sweet job flexing the open breakdown by petting your cat
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SETTLING A BET I HAD! I've been telling people for like 10 years that you play the opening riff on one string and the very difficult trem picked run the way I see here. I thought I sucked really really bad for a long time because I couldn't nail it. I play this song daily as a warm up and could never get back to the G string from the high e on that part haha.
What’s up JB, been a huge fan since I’ve sat with you at the lunch table at CV during your sophomore year and my junior year sitting with Dan Heatherly back in the days of Douglas fir playing at Champion. Love your Guys albums and seriously have followed You guys since the begging and really enjoy your new Xmas album. Keep crushin it Bobby Johnson
Sick cover. Keep practicing and I'm sure you'll make it one day.
Dude. 😂😂😂
Bruh........ lmao
😂😂😂..its not a cover dude.. Its a playthrough, they own the song he played😂😂😂
@@zeedeelato3204 woooosh
@@zeedeelato3204 Jesus Christ man....sarcasm goes right over your head. It was a joke
Impressive! You should play in a band
sarcasm?
@@lostinthewhitesea i hope
@@lostinthewhitesea Obviously
Hi Russia.
Legends have it. His twin brother plays in abr till this day😂😂
That riff from 1:28 to 1:57 is the sickest thing I’ve ever heard come out of August Burns Red, still to this day.
Ikr! HE GOES SO DAMN HARD
It is HANDS DOWN the single most fun riff to learn and play. Feel like a boss when you nail it.
Its insanely hard too
Yess it hits different
@@Stegibbon This riff started fights with friends because they SWORE he played in on the high e. I kept telling them. He's good but that's insanely difficult haha.
3:37 is one of the greatest riffs ever
Goosebumps every time! Slayin!
That picking technique is brutally awesome.
JB. You're my hero. Been saving up for that Ibanez and it gets here on the 15th
Thanks for always shredding and making me want to be better than I am. You are in my book as the best guitarist alive
Which color? 🤠
@@benburroughs8512 Black with the white stripes
That last riff stands out a little more with you playing on top of the recording and it's even sicker than I thought
hits different don't it
Yeah the mix sucks, this part should of been so much louder
They botched the recording in my opinion, some of these leads need to stand out more!

@@kernelxsanders Couldn't agree more! Still love them though.
My favourite ABR song!!! Can't believe it's 11 years old 😭
These songs take me back.
this is my favorite august burns red song!
So fast and complex that rhythm section is pure sex
This is the first song of theirs I heard. Been a fan ever since.
@@joshdraken1 same here!
@josh draken
Same
So many people try to say this is one of their weaker songs😂
This songs rhythm section and solo are straight 🔥
That ascending riff never gets old.
One of the best ABR songs to this day, the brilliant layers of the outro never get old.
Love the cat's overwhelming urge to madly clean itself after petting it.
ABR is doing all the right things in this lockdown. Bands need to learn.
JB natural sound no editing . Respect .

3:27 ridiculous how tight that outro is. Moving as hell
So much tension and emotion portrayed in a unique way in this genre. A one of a kind artist here
I love playing this song so much. its just so powerful
Been a while since I listened to this song! The bit at 2:08 is still magic
I honestly don't know what's more impressive? The riffs he's playing or the way he's fuck'n playing them, just swiftly switching picking fingers randomly throughout the song. What a monster \m/
The man, the legend!
This song amps me up so much
Now I'm understanding why you said in a recent interview that if you could change anything about constellations, it would be the tracking on the guitars. This sounds so much beefier and fuller.
Thanks for all these play throughs! You're brilliant JB
Fav solo
This song is still undoubtably one of the best metal songs ever written, even 11 years later
Man good shit JB. Can’t wait to see you guys again
This album will go down as one of the all time greatest metal albums.
Wow just wow! Serious shredding!
my fav metal song to date! legendary guitar riffs!
This dude is sooo badass!
I miss having you guys here in ontario all the time but this will do! Thanks guys!
Best band ever. Period
There are so many fun riffs in this track!
this song has so many gems!
Crazy good!
These play through are so amazing. Feels intimate getting to see inside your hero’s real life a little. JB, These videos of you playing your music are so fantastic.

To think we could be playing the same music in our house at the same time keeps me playing and happier in the hard times.
I love the moment during the breakdown you turn to acknowledge your catch and she blobs over.. pretty cool connection there!
Spettacolo...sei bravissimo
Got to love the Brubaker!!!
Beautiful
I love the unison sound of the studio recording and the playthrough recording.
You can really see the evolution of his guitar playing from here to Defender playthrough. So much shit goin on!
Omggggg the song that made me fall in love with ABR!
OMG where was this video when I was learning to play this song years ago haha. Great to finally see every note the way it's meant to be played.
please post more my guuyyy. loved it
i love this! That lone chug at 1:58 always gets me. Makes me want to trash everything around me hahaha
This one will always be my favorite ABR song to play on the guitar. Love it!
So happy to see a good guitarist to hold a pick like me. I dont feel so lonely anymore
His picking style is freaking cool!
Corona month 11 and I just found this, gonna binge. Love all these songs
One of my favourite solos in this song!!!
This makes me grateful for the quarantine.
I saw you guys on my birthday (july 14th) last year for the first time. Changed my life, thank you guys for everything. JB you are a true rockstar!
This song was my year 11 solo performance pace, glad to say I got an A+, didn't know what hit them
i did the faded line by lamb of god for my year 11 performance and also got and A+ not nearly as impressive as this song though 😂
bro, your the reason and inspiration that i picked up the guitar. all i gotta say is, sick
One of my favorite songs!! But the cat the background tho. Just back there chilling while the shredding is going on.
Só a melhor música do melhor álbum do ABR!
My son , nephew and I where forunate enough to catch them live in my hometown of Louisville KY in March. Right before the lockdown .. amazing show 5 ⭐🌟🌠💖💫
This is great. I need to watch this at half speed and make sure the way I play it is correct. Can't trust tabs :/
Super helpful JB thanks man.
That's exactly what I had to do with King of Sorrow, and of course some technical parts I definitely was not playing right. Super frustrating.
Also, good luck!
Sheet happens have ABR tabs transcribed by JB. 95 percent accuracy I’d say but I always follow up with play through videos if they’re available!
Incredible...
one of the first metalcore song ive learned time ago, awesome how i got technique by that.
JB. Dude. That is still fire
Showing my home town some love with the picture in the background! 🤘🏻
One of my favorite tunes!
Makes me miss my cat... He used to come and chill by me every time I started playing... I honestly believed he loved the music!...
Damn! This song is in top 3 of all time on my personal playlist.
2024/8 Tis the season! This one never gets old. 🤘
I have been a metal fan all my life and still think this is one of the greatest metal songs ever written.
The way he smiled at his cat made this vid. Great skill!
These are redonkoulous! Please keep them keeping...super fun watching a meastro shred!
Dude just the way you hold the pick is wicked 🤙 sick cover btw
Cover? This guy is a member of ABR, bro.
Best ABR song ever!!!
Keep em coming!! We love you haha
Great song! 🎸🤘

i know its weird the way he hold his pick but what i see here is their weirdness turns out to be unique mad respect!🔥🔥🔥
Nice! I love the ABR denver poster. I bought one from you guys and its hanging in my Jam room🤘
My favorite part was when you pet your cat during the breakdown and it immediately cleaning that spot afterward lol
I’m from CO that’s awesome that there is a Denver poster in the back 🤙🏼
Glad I saw you guys with KSE in Grand Rapids right as this crap hit. Knew it would be my last concert for a while. Awesome show!!!!! Keep rockin!
best guitar cover ever
Awesome! Love watching your playthroughs... Sadie is the coolest metal cat ever! 🤘🙏
you know you're good when you cover your own songs
What a masterpiece
Dude keep these up. Vids are dope
Best abr song ever

Beginning **
When the cat has to start cleaning himself again after he pets it during the breakdown... 😂😆
Way stoked you have a framed Denver tour poster!
the final breakdown right is one of my riffs to this day. second only the to the final breakdown riff in composure
The ending is one of the best parts of any song, ever! This is the song that got me hooked on you guys! You're a beast man!
All the endings on that album are insane. Mariana's Trench for one. WE'RE GOING UNDEEEEER!!!!
This guitar playthrough is what turned me on to the band
Your playing is seriously inspiring 🙌
