Black Veil Brides "Legacy" Lesson by: Jake Pitts

[@taekwondodude8]

Basically every guitar tutorial from a professional guitarist: "Okay, so you're going to do this: *plays crazy 24 measure guitar riff* And now that you got that, you're going to do this: *plays nearly impossible guitar solo* and then you do this: *plays insane outro lick* and then that's about it! Pretty simple."

[@smoothskinnnn]

You are like 100,000,000,000% accurate😂😂😂

[@senpaikai8011]

Brian Jordan Bartels its actually pretty simple tbh

[@Angel_EU34]

Brian Jordan Bartels And you know the best part? A lot of people say that BVB aren't metal! wtf!?

[@taekwondodude8]

Gabriel Knight I know!! Just listen to some of their music... They are heavily influenced by metal and have lots of metal guitar riffs in their music.

[@definitelynotgore]

Yeah vocals not so much, but instrumentals are definitely metal, even the new album is heavy. (instrument wise) I personally only listen BVB anymore for the guitar because the riffs are absolutely killer.

JAKE PITTS KEEP DOING WHAT YOUR DOING

[@leannestruble2589]

Is it just me or do other people think they may learn something but then in 2 seconds realize that that is never going to happen

[@mattyraye584]

Me 😂😂 I was like yes I can learn this finally then like 30 seconds in I was like nope.

[@seank4254]

It’s definitely doable. Learn it slow and just over time play it faster. This isn’t remotely the most difficult of songs from them. You got this!!

[@chrisjuliette]

black veil brides helped me so much with my depression and self harm thenk you guys you are truly the best and if it werent for you ni wouldnt be watching this right now

[@narbcookez]

I love how hardly anyone watches these, at first glance, this may seem like a bad thing, but if you think about it, it means you can reply to all the fans that actually look up to you as a role model, the ones that have searched you up! It's amazing of you to have started this channel! Thank you Jake! From a fan who wants you to be their guitar teacher.

[@JakePitts]

Yeah, i've been seeing these in a few of my videos. My power was out one day and I was filming my dog and one of those orbs flew down and she watched it the whole time and watched it fly down past me. I didn't see it until I watched the video back. Creepy shit.

[@raul_guitar]

I love how Jake takes the time to show us his amazing riffs and solos. Woo!

[@JakePitts]

BEFORE YOU ASK A QUESTION, READ THE DESCRIPTION AND YOU MIGHT JUST ANSWER IT FOR YOURSELF.

[@JakePitts]

@Quartik For this video I used a POD XT running through a digi 003 recorded into pro tools, and put a sansamp plugin on it.

[@JakePitts]

@TheForeverDarkest I'm not using an amp. Just a POD XT direct to a digi003 recorded with pro tools and a sansamp plugin

[@JakePitts]

@Fenderwolf95 standard, I did spend a lot of time tweeking a tone on it a while back.

[@MattyyyM]

Love his solos from this album

[@iriepotato3673]

I hope I can play like you someday, my parents can't afford an electric guitar so I use my acoustic one..thank you so much, I will keep trying hard. -Your biggest fan in Nigeria.

[@JakePitts]

@MrJoelaaaa BC Rich is making my signature series, it will be available for the public to purchase soon

[@atulinabiersack]

I'm so proud of you and the rest of the guys, you know, everytime I hear the songs I can see that you are so talented and you deserve every award that you won and every good thing that appears in your lives. NEVER GIVE IN! and please guys, never stop. You don't know how your music make me so strong. Thank you for being you♥

[@johnsykes4513]

so cute,shit.. i agree

[@thnksfrthvnm]

Jake, you and your whole band are so amazing and inspirational. I love how you're one of the most famous and most talented guitarists ever and yet you still take time to post guitar lessons for your fans and reply to their comments. I wish every musician was as humble and truly talented as your are. Thanks for being awesome.

[@dianabiersack1905]

this is my lovely song. Jake thank you for all

[@JakePitts]

@KeeeenxD All different types, I don't focus on using them when i'm writing, I just play and when something cool comes out I go off of that.

[@MrBraceface17]

Seriously dude i don't understand why people hate on you guys so much when you actually take time and do lessons for your fans!!! that alone should get you some real respect because what other artist make lessons on their songs other than for money?!?!?! you forever have my respect man keep on rocking!

[@andysixx2786]

the intro is so bad ass slowed down

[@MattyyyM]

Is avenged a big influence on your playing? becuause the styles are similar 1st Verse sounds like afterlife, only faster

[@italiavirgo]

One of my favorite songs in Set The World On Fire is Legacy

[@Jukle0]

Thanks for the video, Jake. The only part I'm having trouble with is the 14th fret bend section near the beginning of the solo, and seeing you play it definitely helped me figure out the picking pattern. Other than that, got this song nailed!

[@firebreather6661]

this has actually taught me quite a bit more than just playing the song, thanks Jake!

[@potatoesvevo9465]

omfg Ghost at 1:54 omg!!!!

[@JakePitts]

Aleesa Hernandez Yeah, I've got some weird shit happening sometimes.

[@clichehuman5801]

I love how you just sit down and let your fingers fly lmao

[@lungtubou]

The tone is just WOW 😍. Super tasty.

[@MattyyyM]

In my opinion your best song to play on the guitar ahah. But i have to ask, was afterlife in your mind when you wrote the verse? Quite similar lol

[@generalsquonk]

I just bought a mockingbird because of how beast you make it sound!!! Love your videos man. Can't wait to see you guys with Bullet (My 2 favorite bands)!!!!

[@braddomac1]

You are by far, the greatest musician today, you can play guitar, and you acctually care about your fans, enough to do a tutorial for them. You are a way awesome dude, and seem like such a nice person! Keep doing what you do man, I hope to be like you one day

[@JakePitts]

@megakid888 using a POD xt, then running into pro tools, using the Sans amp ps-1 plugin

@Erik Helkimo He uses 10 - 52 gauge d'addario EXL140s

[@xSchmitty360x]

Jake I'm so happy you actually take time to make these tutorials for your fans, it really means a lot! :)

[@masonbright4486]

The speed is the hardest thing to get down

[@CrissyKat]

in my oppinion this song has one of the best intros from all of bvbs songs, love it.

[@thorsten_cit]

he's a cool dude for doing these lessons. more guitarists should do that

[@JakePitts]

@MungoTelevision This one, the face guitar was a gift from BC RICH

[@JakePitts]

@Illfindausername Looping playback until I come up with something that sounds decent.

[@JakePitts]

@DarKandyMH This is going to be my signature series BC Rich, it doesn't cost me anything

[@JakePitts]

@MagdiiYesItsMee It was one we had on the Buried Alive tour.

[@marverickb]

@83metallicarox Using a standard note tuner thingy, hit the first fret of each string and tune to EADGBE. You are now tuned down 1/2 a step. For the low E string, hit the third fret and tune to E. Now you are in Drop C#.

[@StealthNinjaNoni]

This was one of the first songs I heard from you guys. Great tutorial!

[@MyaFudge]

laughing cos u have CC on ur shirt ;D but this is amazing. you are amazing. just- WOW

[@cheychey259]

Jake your an amazing guitarist, (and even more amazing live) you make it look so easy.

[@MelanieD22]

My respect for this guy. Dude you are very talented.

[@Hungryrose69]

can't wait to see you guys play jun 19 in San Diego,i love learning the song straight from you i thank you for that

[@WASD9ox]

Man you are a such a huge influence on me you have no idea. Your harmony riffs are brilliant. You've inspired me to make harmony riffs and I've written loads of riffs with harmony's which are master pieces well at least I think they are. Man you should do a rig demo I love your gear. :) Keep up the good work man!

[@bulletgirl85]

Thank you so much for taking time to make this Jake! It means so much! You're one of my biggest idols and I really hope to be able to play like you one day. Kick some ass in 2012! Can't wait to see you on tour again :]

[@BIGxBOSSxx1]

I watched this with my guitar in my lap hoping to be able to play along. But when he played the solo I was like 'Why do I even try' You're amazing Jake :)

[@BlackOut9232]

I like the way that you take the time to do these lessons, there's probably a handful of bands out there that do this, so maximum respect from me :) I think its gonna take me alot of practice to play this x]

[@ihatejellyfish88]

Jake is the definition of EPIC! xx

[@maraliannet]

One of my favorite songs ever :)

[@AwesomeLittleDudex]

This is some serious talent. I love you Jake (:

[@briankangguitar]

to answer your questions: Jake uses the BC rich mockingbird pro x has EMGs(81 bridge and 60 neck.) Idk what kind of EMGs the halberd usesbut im pretty sure its the same For strings he uses D'Addario EXL140 Nickel Wound, Light Top/Heavy Bottom, 10-52.For his amp he is currently endorsed by Peavey, so you could probably get a peavey practice amp for under $200. Unfortunately, there's no information on what kind of effects or pedals he uses (He said he doesnt like to rely on effects pedals though.)

[@mariahlovessBVB]

Ahhh! ♥ this is AMAZING. ♥

[@daltonzernial334]

Jake is my number 2 favorite guitarist behind his number one and my number one favorite, synyster gates

Thank you so much, Jake! Another inspiration right at my door hahaha. And thanks for adding me on Stickam!!!

[@JakePitts]

Thanks!

[@skanaux]

I seriously don't even know how to play guitar. I just love watching these, and give me inspiration ^u^

[@JakePitts]

Yeah sort of, The run on this is based more on the blues pentatonic scale. Not playing all the notes in that scale though. Originally I wrote legacy before perfect weapon and the first run down in perfect weapon was in the original legacy solo, but I stole it from myself for perfect weapon.

[@cheychey259]

One of the first things I see a CC face on Jake's shirt, hahaha, oh we love you CC

[@lyokon8]

though it is out of album dates can you show us God Bless You?

I really hope we get a chance to meet you guys! I would be like the best night of my life! You are utterly amazing. Your playing inspired me to learn how to play guitar, any tips? But yeah..I just think that you are amazing, nothing more can be said..Pure awesome that is what stands before me..I love you Jake!
