[@ZVYW]

This might be my favorite BVB song ever

[@alexvankirk6652]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who enjoys the shit out of this song xD

[@gothicproductions8634]

I like instrumental, because its sounds like a heavy song

[@rajlight226]

Glad not the only one

[@joshua.johnson]

Same

[@destinyrichardson9900]

Is it weird that I watch these videos and I don't even play guitar?

[@angelique1112]

No. I watch this because it' s awesome listening to Jake playing the guitar. I love the sound of guitars.

[@eva-vs1zu]

+Angel Angelique same! I watch those videos because I love when Jake plays guitar! He is so amazing! So talented

[@ana-mariamihaylova5628]

no I watch them because I wanna study play gitar

[@hannahporter9234]

Kinda...

[@rajlight226]

No

[@caydensterlace3689]

I don't care that it's been 2 years since this vid was posted, I'm still commenting: You, Jake Pitts, have earned the respect of me and my rock music-hating family's respect. That takes *skill*.

[@benchazy1016]

Mari Sterlace I don’t care that it’s been a year since your comment was posted you are obviously a kind person :)

[@sytherom]

@@benchazy1016 I don't care that its been 4 years since your comment it was cool of you to give props to @caydensterlace3689 for being nice :)

[@binxx157]

This is my favourite song to play on my guitar. It's truly great

[@tjayemusic4544]

You should do some acoustic tutorials.

[@ShadowWof]

My favorite part of this song has always been the opening to it. It almost sounds like a steam punk type mechanical object.

[@kierabreen1377]

Could you try do a tutorial on 'resurrect the sun' or 'wretched and divine' they are older songs but I've seen quite a few requests around the internet for them. :)

[@jadenb9142]

I'm sod glad you did a lesson for this, I love this song Thanks Jake, can't wait to learn it!

[@dawsonissitt1423]

amazing you should get cc, jinx, ashley to teach songs as well

[@IainThornton]

Hate to burst your bubble but ashley really isn't a good bassist. I'm watched these videos out of interest and this guy is pretty good but trust me read some bass tabs for their songs and there really isn't much going on.

[@alphawolfviiix88]

Stfu ashley is the best so stfu

[@IainThornton]

ashley is a disgrace to bass playing. people like him are why people say bassists suck. listen to spirit crusher by death, or by the way by the red hot chilli peppers, or even different sense by dir en grey. that is proper bass playing, not the crap Ashley calls bass playing.

[@alphawolfviiix88]

Stfu go listen to what ash has done to the band he has changed them

[@IainThornton]

you know nothing about music. people like you make me sick.

[@divineinterventionkatie8542]

Thank you so much Jake for uploading this! My band, Divine Intervention, and I just recently played a gig and are now preparing for another. We hope to cover this song like we did with Fallen Angels in the past (: You are amazing and have inspired me to pursue music. Stay awesome!

[@lovemusic5100]

Thanks for doing this videos Jake:)they literally help me more than my own guitar lessons. And I know you don't have time to do this but you still do it so...thanks I love you and your my idol❤️

[@Helena_882]

Hi Jake! Sorry to keep posting on videos, I really just want to thank you for these videos! with my TBI it really helps to just watch someone play something and play it rather than read sheet music. The more I figure things out the healthier I know my brain gets and the happier I am! Thanks so much! Please keep it up!

[@father_falcons_craftin_fan9016]

Me: MOTHERRRRR Mom: IM DOING STUFF RIGHT NOW NOOOO Me: JAKE IS PLAYING A GUITAR!!!!!! Mom: COMING Me: Hehehe. She shall give meh my candy!

[@jacynicole7404]

I love these so much, you are such an amazing guitarist and I hope I can someday be this good

[@TheAidanFitzsimons]

When you get back from tour(or whenever), could you do a tutorial for victory call? That is one of my absolute favorite songs and I could sure use your guidance with it! Thanks man!

[@pieasuknowit]

Wanted to say thank you for really being my total guitar inspiration want to say that I thinks it's awesome that you take time out of your day to make videos to show people how to play your songs, anyways I'll be at you guyses concert on the 5 th of February. Peace brother

[@kylencasteel2092]

This, to me, sounds so relaxing, Jake, you have true talent. It's amazing.

[@xChabelita]

cant wait to see you playing guitar live!!! you're sooooo good

[@JynxTheClown666]

One of my favorite songs

[@aeonmaster5]

Hey Jake! I love all of your guitar lessons and you are an amazing guitarist! I would love to see a guitar lesson on "Beautiful Remains". If not "Beautiful Remains", then could you do a little mini lesson on the solo before the second verse in "Fallen Angels". Ive seen the lessons from Guitar world (if i remember correctly) but i didn't see that being taught. Keep on rocking and thanks for the videos!

[@eva-vs1zu]

I really like the clean part of the song. The first part in the song before singing and everything. The song it's amazing one of my favourites!

[@charlenewatt3285]

the opening of this song sounds awesome definetly one of my faviroute sonngs from wretchered and devine

[@mooniedoesart]

This is awesome!!! I really want you to do a Crown of Thorns lesson!! Please :')

[@blackkitty3405]

I wish I could play guitar :( Its so amazing! *-* ♥♥♥

[@armysixx1469]

OMG! I love this song :') YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!!! Thanks so much! i love your videos ♡

[@IridescentAuraa]

Aw man, this is absolutely awesome! Thank you Jake. For all of this. ^_^

[@royaux53]

Can you do a lesson for world of sacrifice and wretched and divine please ? would be very appreciate !! :)

[@JakePitts]

[@linnealehner1812]

[@frankiesteinbiersackstanle4544]

+JakePittsBVB hey jake i love your videos

[@dhantakusuma3289]

Just like Synyster Gates signature that using the sustainiac , you and Syn are guitarist that played sustainac very awesome !

[@calebskeets4060]

You should do a crown of thorns tutorial please Jake! :D it'd be awesomely dope!

[@adrianamarleene2786]

awesome as always Jake(: All you guys, CC, Jinxx, And Ashley, should do a video teaching us their parts as well. I think that'd be pretty cool(:

[@HelloNallen]

Hi there Jake, could you possibly make a video explaining guitar playing techniques and how to build up speed in your fingers for fast songs such as this one? If you have already please could you say or link me to it please? Thanks you P.s don't stop making awesome music \m/

[@JakePitts]

Yeah I will do my best to create some new lessons and tips

[@HelloNallen]

Awesome, thank you!

[@KaiRose13]

JakePittsBVB It'd be cool to have another, more in-depth sweeping lesson than the one you posted a while ago. :D

[@superstenoffroad3055]

im trying to practice my finger movements with just playing scales, or your own little thing, and keep practicing until you get faster and better, i do somthing like 9th freth to 10th going from high e to low e on standard tuning, then 9th to 11th with middle finger, then 9th to 12th with my pinky finger, then I try to mix all those up, like 9, 10, 9, 11, 9 10, excetra. hope this helps! Cx HelloNallen

[@leafrusenov2142]

omg jake!!! you REALLY need to post up a "walk away" lesson... PLEEEAAASSEEE

[@sonnycurl624]

I love you Jake haha you're so amazing ^_^

[@Skalver1]

Hello Jake, you should make a video lesson of Lost It All :D or Walk Away completely, would be great :D

[@MelodicGoals]

Please bring more lessons. I am missing these.

[@KeithMuirMusic]

You should definitely do a heavens calling lesson, that song is just insane, especially the solo.

[@kenziebiersack3413]

You rock Jake I want to say hi and say thanx for coming to Kansas city I love u guys BVB rocks black mass rocked (Nov 12 2014)

[@smilingjack6120]

JakePittsBVB Whenever time permits, would you P L E A S E do a video on how to properly set up a floyd rose for various tunings (Drop C#, Drop C, D standard, etc)?

[@chrissixx5770]

please

[@TommyVarekai]

+Smiling Jack yea im finding the videos out arnt thorough enough or are like 20 mins long trying to sell you all these cleaning products and stuff.

[@riptidefilms6087]

3:51 That face tho lol. Btw Jake, your hair looks really good in this video.

[@owenmonk930]

Hi jake I'm a massive fan of you and BVB. I was wondering if you teach us Knives and Pens when you get the chance. I can't wait to see you guys for the first time on the 5th of march. I love you and BVB so much.

[@silverdoesmc891]

Tip for people without sustainiac: Play the high part on a 7-string in Drop C (CGCFADG) on the 27th fret on the high G string, it has the same pitch and a very similar effect.

[@lindaholmberg]

this is amazing jake!! this song is really awesome. hope i get to hear this live in stockholm :D

[@berik4228]

Jake?! How the hell do you know all the bvb songs by heart? I mean, those songs are more than 50 :0

[@camronneighbours9275]

Black Veil Brides Unicorn He kinda wrote them XD

[@berik4228]

I know but would you know 50 articles in english lesson? XD

[@wwelene]

+Black Veil Brides Unicorn He has to know those songs. What's the point of being the leas guitarist and not being able to remember how to play the song. After a while you just remember. Plus he practices a lot so how would he not remember.

[@cardex7]

there's this thing called muscle memory i think. If you are a guitar player, you know what i mean. When you learn how to play a song and u play it let's say for about 10-20 times, you remember what to play, when, your hands kind of remember the moves and after a while if you dont play it, when you listen to it and try to play again, your brain automatically detects it and starts to remember all the notes or chords :D

[@andresfp6027]

Those videos are gold. I am learning a lot from you. Thanks Jake😁😁

[@linnealehner1812]

Jake ur the Best to play guitar EVER. Love ya

[@linnealehner1812]

And i hope u see Thats message

[@linnealehner1812]

And please Can u Make some video whit fallen Angels? Thank you

[@allymarie0162]

This is my favorite song ever! Thats how I got my instagram username and youtube username! This is my ALL TIME FAVORITE SONG THANKS SO MUCH!

[@davidpaliska189]

Could you do an "All your hate" tutorial? I want to play this song so much!! Awesome tutorials, thank you so much!

[@zoejones4801]

OH HELL YEAH!!!! I've been waiting Dr u to teach us this song!!! :D YOUR THE BEST!!!

[@timj92]

Your guitar sounds so frickin good

[@camronneighbours9275]

Yes! been waiting for this!

[@muritze963]

hello im from germany and i love Black veil brides and i love the looks There Are so Black and i love Black :D ♥

[@madisongriggs8978]

I love it. You act like its nothing to play these sing and I sit here astonished like OMG he is so amazing how does he do that?!? But then again I don't have nearly as much expirience and go in tour playing these songs. Do you think you could do more play throughs?? I honestly really enjoyed watching the INE you have up right now and I would really enjoy watching more. Thank you for doing these videos too. I'm really trying to learn how to play guitar and this is helping a lot! Thanks again 😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@madisongriggs8978]

One** stupid autocorrect

[@matthewhajnal5164]

hey dude, awesome stuff, cant wait to give this a crack. Will do you a cover of crown of thorns. thanks man. Love you and the band

[@matthewhajnal5164]

I mean lesson* XD

[@christinagroening492]

Hi Jake first off I love your playing, you're very talented and I love listening to the music you write. I got my first electric guitar for Christmas this year and am having trouble finding a place to start. Watching videos like this I almost find overwhelming because this is high skill level and I'm just starting. I was wondering if you could suggest any good ways to start and build skill over time. Thank you so much!

[@zacharyradoff5839]

do you think you could do "The Shattered God" or "Devil In The Mirror" next? I love these lessons!! :D

[@noahshah1033]

Im really looking forward to these tutorials! Thanks for the vid. Are you planning on making a tutorial on crown of thorns?

[@paladinsfate6989]

Would love to see a tutorial for let you down that is a sick riff!!!

[@Kay_Jay_Pea]

Would you ever consider putting clips of the beginning of the part that you're talking about? Sometimes its a little hard to know when in the song you're talking about.

[@DareDevil0504]

these videos make me want to buy a guitar again so i can learn how to play again since the first time i did i failed

[@user-fl8mt3jl4q]

This is so helpful and awesome! Thank you Jake!

[@alexandrawolf4348]

I don't even know how to play a guitar, but there's something oddly relaxing about watching guitar-tutorials

[@aly7762]

I was waiting for this and omg i did a small dance when i saw you uploaded this cx

[@JonathanEbling6]

You also have tremolo locking on it. I own a Jackson that also has tremolo locking and it stays in tune aswell. Schecters are very good my friends/rhythm guitarist plays a hellraiser.

[@courtneyturnbull4496]

amazing!!! so gonna try this, can u do a tutorial of Sweet Blasphemy pleaze? 🐱

[@thatstupidjingee4577]

Thank you for video! Im determined to be a schecter artist now and be as good as you one day ;)

[@mooseandsquirrel8715]

AHHH!!!! Jake!!!! This is great!!!!

[@ryuzakil9580]

Thank you for another class Jake !!!

[@yaressyrangel1333]

You make it look so easy

[@skye9850]

Omg this is my favorite song! I'm a beginner guitar player but someday maybe I will be able to play it lol. Any tips for beginners? U rock by the way :) and I can't wait to c u in Saskatoon

[@harrypope2280]

jake, great video! REALLY helpful! Can you ask Jinxx if he could show us the harmonies please? I know he's probably busy but I'd love to see it (I'm lazy sorry)

[@danieledwards2149]

yes. always a bummer when the song ends. REPLAY!!!!!!!!!!!

[@frankbadlanderjameslll5401]

Not sure how to respond to you on KZbin but to answer your question yes it is

[@alexisbutcher2325]

Are you coming to New Zealand anytime soon? I really want to see you guys! Also, great video! :)

[@madbeanz_co]

Alright. This song is rad. But I have always wanted to learn Perfect Weapon. Could you make that a lesson? If so, AWESOME!

[@kortnithrockmorton2478]

Would be cool if you could do a guitar lesson on Nobody's hero. I've been wanting to learn that song for a while.

[@denissecortes4118]

I've never really admired guitarists... But then I found out about Jake, and damn! He's just purely amazing, even his bandmates have said it! \m/ ^.^

[@Satan-fz7je]

I feel like listening the song now :)

[@Ramiro_ETC]

Thanks Jake, I've been wanting to learn this song lol xD

[@wxnda.maximoff2439]

Is it weird I play this to put me to sleep? The guitar for this song is amazing

[@Abrhyan]

Hey Jake. You're an amazing guitarist. I love everything you do Haha. Could you teach us how to play Knives and Pens please???? Cause I love this song and I would really love playing it. Thanks for everything you do. Goodnight.

[@NagaDnCloud]

Awesome lessons

[@user-ws1wr4lq5o]

very good Jake

[@IanniKay]

thanks jake! I love this song and i've wanted to learn it for a while. Does your signature model sell with the switches you use for the solo in this song?

[@trenttoomeymvs]

Could you try to do a Knives and pens lesson Jake?

[@B花]

Perfect.

[@abigail8890]

you are incredible 💗

[@logancabianca5432]

This song is probably going to be the hardest one I've learned. This song reminds me of cradle of filth with the nasty riff

[@SoTori4U]

You should do something acoustic one time! I know it's different but well, idk?

[@danieledwards2149]

Jake, I've been trying to learn how to play things more by ear and less by video, what are things you would suggest for that? Your videos are great btw and thanks a ton for doing them and ESPECIALLY Shadows Die!

[@guitarkiller1312]

Could you MAYBE do a tutorial for you guys cover of Rebel Yell? I love that one! ^_^

[@FruitflyBat]

OH HELL YEAH!! okay got that out lol I am plugging in right now!! Love this song.. XD

[@williamhack9343]

I'd very much appreciate it if you could make a guitar lesson on Advanced sweep picking

[@hidennnori7333]

Awesome, my favorite song from you guys, could you possibly add Tabs to your videos ? Or maybe on the description ?? And liked your call of duty advanced warfare gameplay

[@dansingh74]

Can you please do video with fallen angels but with the effects explained or told and keep putting the effects in the the tutorials it helps a lot.

[@fightwiththeunknownn]

hair on point

[@alphawolfviiix88]

Hi

[@kierabreen1377]

Could you please do resurrect the sun. Btw awesome tutorial!

[@xPBKM4x]

The best part about this is there are no dislikes on this vide!!!!!

[@jamesmanvell4484]

Hey jake, could you teach saviour or lost it all sometime? They are both awesome :)

[@coreyondavis6032]

thanks jake, im actually not that far behind now, also, you guys anime is halfway done

[@ZienteckSteffen]

Hey Jake awesome lesson thanks a lot for showing us how to play your awesome riffs :) but please could you do a lesson for Days are numbered? I really love this song but there is no good lesson for the song on youtube and the only tabs on ultimate guitar are for bass :( I also play a schecter guitar the synyster signature one :) but i think i will buy the bc rich you played in your earlier music videos cause the feeling when i played it in a music store was awesome :) have a good day sir :)

[@alphawolfviiix88]

Jake is there gonna be a vlog for today just wondering
