BRING ME THE HORIZON - Lee & Jona show how to play Alligator Blood

[@ivannmatthfelix4881]

this style of guitar riff is what made bmth different from other metalcore bands

[@rizalprasetyo6305]

Jona Weinhoven pattern it 💥

[@davidsoux]

Because Lee puts emotion into his songwriting. Unlike other “metalcore” bands where they just chug the same cords.

[@H.E.M.]

@@rizalprasetyo6305 pretty much. There is a hell is just Suicide Season but way more technical in terms of riffing. And once they kicked him out they went back to simple riffs again and way less of those sick ass reverb leads.

[@h3r3si43]

You guys have no clue at all, Jona didn’t bring any riffs on this record 🫡

[@taylorbivens8546]

As a fellow guitarist, this song was probably one of the hardest ones of theirs for me to learn how to play aside from the songs on Count your Blessing. Their new music is fun to play too but a lot more simple than their older tunes. That album has got some pretty intense guitar parts.

[@DukeOz]

noob

[@taylorbivens8546]

+QvinHM I've been playin' a long time, but Count Your Blessings was one of the first more "intermediate" difficulty level albums I learned on guitar. Not the hardest shit in the world, but still tricky for me when I was still learning.

[@ohmygodspoons7528]

+Taylor Bivens think this is hard? Look up the guitarist Jason Richardson

[@cocochanel3519]

ferna2294 Drop A# xD

[@ferna2294]

Yeah, 13-56 but I have a standard lenght, so you can imagine the buzzing and shit ahhaahaha.

[@tomitomescu9983]

You don't need a baritone scale to sound good. Maybe you just need a good setup. Lee plays on a 24.74 scale which is not that appropriate for this tuning.

[@noobguitarist843]

@@tomitomescu9983 lee used 70 gauge i think for the lowest A# string

[@farynthehusky]

@@noobguitarist843 he uses an .80 gauge on his, at least that's what I remember him saying in the rig rundown

[@TheMrWafflefries]

Their picking posture is kinda funny and personal :D lol

[@KondorXT]

TheMrWafflefries I probably have Lee's picking posture

[@shazna90]

literally looks the same as both Lamb of God guitarists

[@H.E.M.]

Lee Malia is a huge Metallica fan so he plays like James with the 3 fingers which is cool to see.

[@ManoBDraycko]

Lee is a beast with the les Paul

[@aqpforce]

both are the best guitarrists that bmth had.

[@MrBazzor]

well one of them is still in bmth so???

curtis ward ...

[@mishapashchenko6518]

Lee is still with bmth.

[@H.E.M.]

@@galanganarkhi602 ehh he was sloppy. Watch their old live performances. He was always out of time. I guess that’s why they step back in terms of technicality in their riff writing in SS.

[@domtwaites3436]

I may be addicted to this song

[@H.E.M.]

Jonah and Lee, great fucking duo and great fucking riffs. Fucking sucks he left 😭

[@afterworkcollective]

13 years and im still here

[@alejandrorohen]

13 years since this masterpiece of a song came out and can’t get sick of playing it, it’s got to be one of their funniest songs to play. Just cant get enough of those riffs, and the A# tuning is just perfect for the whole composition 🔥

[@boxcpl]

Favorite song of the album, 3:50 to 4:01 is the most grooving tempo for the riff. Awesome.

[@slimjim6296]

I normally don't like this guys style of playing, but this is song is pretty well written.

[@kenwayaiden4535]

why

[@wisnumurti8178]

that caparison

[@alejandrorohen]

Lee's picking style is beautiful, and his les paul too :3

[@wesijadul]

Best album riff part with jona

[@januarrajab]

love Jona's picking technique

[@wtfthisistheonlyuser]

i could listen to 3:38-4:02 all fucking day. god dude that riff is so good

[@ChrisMusickx]

I love how they both try to roll the volume down automatically after they finished the song at @ 4:28

[@gerardsettgast6599]

This helped so much haha Both such great guitarists!

[@kobejanvicente1686]

Jona has long fingers ..

[@Tyron95]

You can see just by looking at the hands that the one above is good but the one below is talented, has supreme and elegant tecnique, he barely moves his fingers

[@ferociouspokemachine]

I met BMTH 1.5 years ago after a show and the first thing I asked Jona was their tuning. I thought they played Drop C too but Jona said they're all C standard, not Drop C. Which makes sense because The Sadness Will Never End has harmonics you can only get by tuning your guitar 2 steps down. Songs like Sleep with One Eye Open, Blacklist, Football Season Is Over, and Death Breath are in Drop G.

[@puffsKLENEX182]

i wish every song by every band had a video like this one.

[@alanje12]

Jona uses Caparison guitars i think the particular model he uses is Caparison Angelus CL13

[@riyuiwashere]

you a legend

[@lumick666]

lee is so technical and play so clean, and jona play more of a street way, it makes so beautiful.

[@dreamkiller296]

jona fucking honestly brought alot to the band

[@skippy7865]

definitely the best song off of the album

[@jeyaceare9833]

fuck, Jona please come back..

[@amberpiddington7670]

+AllThingsPlaystation i don't think so to be honest, yes theyve gone softer, which may not appeal to everybody, but hell he's giving them a lot more options in what way they want to go with their sound, he's a talented lad, but it's all opinions.

[@FVKELI]

LMAO why would he come back? So he can play only 2 power chords for ever chorus please Jona can give off more talent than these sorry guys can combined these days.

[@amberpiddington7670]

TheVideoBoy lol what. jona left himself and it was good while it lasted, but they are still talented. just shifted genre.. ignorant fucks these days

[@joe_pavey123]

+AllThingsPlaystation they should keep Jordan and have jona as well

[@xiPaulfulix]

suicide season and there is a hell had some good guitar riffs but I think they've definitely gone in the right direction, if they kept making albums as 'heavy' as this, Oli's live singing would get even worse and more importantly it'd be boring. To be fair to them That's The Spirit is an incredibly well produced album with awesome hooks and some pretty great guitar parts

[@JasonGuitarHand]

@auremetal the top guitar is a Caparison Angelus Custom that has an EMG Single coil on the neck position, and an EMG 85 on the bridge.

[@ferociouspokemachine]

Afaik, yes. They play the Drop B stuff live in Drop A# though (for quite a while now actually)

[@jkml15]

Actually Jona plays Caparison guitars and Lee's is a mix between A standard and a traditional Les Paul. It's a prototype for his custom model Gibson is making for him

[@syrus607]

It's a Caparison Angelus. Custom color and pick up config built for Jona .

[@fantuhjc5086]

I thought this was a cover but then I saw Lee’s down picking style and realized it was him

[@VakoCavender]

Yeah you should have read the tittle first i guess??

[@LinuxMFKR]

Wish Jona didn't leave

[@gonzalezcadezaaldair2112]

[@kottfarsen]

I think I'm in love with those guitars!

[@brunodk11]

Jona was the best guitar player in bmth u.u (im my opnion)

[@elperrocalvo1]

Jona is using a Paul Reed Smith (PRS), i don't know how the model, but is using a EMG pickups, i think that is a PRS Custom 22 Blue modified, and Lee Malia using a Gibson Les Paul Standard

[@BreakDown2197]

@AaronAzkidMatier Yeah thats how music like this is. You use the bottom 2-3 strings primarily. It changes when you get more of a melodic sound to it.

[@milquebox]

Jona I miss you bby ;3; I was so stoked to see you. But what's done is done and cannot be undone. I'm still excited to see the other guys.

[@ferociouspokemachine]

I mentioned the list of tunings they use, and I wasn't 100% sure if it was Drop G or drop G# they used on a couple songs.

[@jakers1001]

@TheCerialGuy Yeah it is, he has two which he uses for Bring Me, one in red, this one in blue ... the blue one for drop A# songs (and the songs with the bottom string tuned to G) and the red one for songs tuned to C standard :)

[@Davyliscious]

aside from oli, jona's probably my favorite bmth member. He's a great guitar player, he does all the clean vocals live as well as backup screaming, and he's been in other great bands before this, so he has a lot of experience :D

[@s1l3nt45]

@Rachel826 it did right

[@paokalexthes]

Tbh, having the pick parallel to the strings makes it harded for me to strum faster, putting a little angle always helps (especially when tremolo picking)

[@ILYYPhilip]

@A7XForever09 It's a custom Caparison Angelus. EMG 81 in the bridge, SA in the neck, with a maple board. Love it as well, sadly it will never be available to the public. Although Jonah is selling some of his guitars occasionally, so maybe...

[@x_overkll_x507]

God this song is so fun to play, took me so long to learn but it was worth it

[@anthonyschwabe5036]

if noones told you yet, its a caparison

[@santiagofranco4235]

They shoud have done this with Pray For Plagues or any other song from Count Your Blessings

[@ferociouspokemachine]

@qeriton Also, the the djenty sound that the newer riffs (post-CYB) are obviously made by Lee.

[@TheRadPi]

@GIACOMOSPIZZA91 you can hear how heavy their strings are on any of their recordings. to get a super tight drop c or b you pretty much have to man up to strumming telephone wires

[@IntoxicatedRainx]

So. They should totally do this with more songs. Preferably Suicide Season.♥

[@Skimo_]

lee & jona should to do more videos like this

[@PastaMinor163]

That's a Caparison Angelus CL13.

[@johnmorgan3038]

It's really odd for me to watch this honestly, I write music and my guitar riffs come out a lot like bring me the horizon's style and I use heavier strings like them, and my pick style is like a combination of lee's and jona's I have the circle shape like lee but I only use two fingers to hold the pick and have my other fingers out like Jona. Could say they are my inspiration, but it all comes naturally like that

[@AlexiTheWildchild]

+John Morgan I think theres nothing wrong with that :D Every player develops his own way of writing and playing over time and when they inspire you or your riffs sound similiar doesn´t mean it has to be a bad thing :)

[@johnmorgan3038]

+Danny Dumblecore thanks man! Lee is my main inspiration tbh. I do a lot of the same things they do guitar wise and string wise and stuff lol

[@soda_gt.]

I call that influence

[@SynVenganceShadows]

theres mutiple reasons for that. lee could have thicker strings (les pauls usually have thicker strings, altho obviously thats adjustable) also Lee is lead and Jona is rhythm which would mean Lees part is harder

[@BAMFosho]

@Boymentation1994 Actually it's a custom Caparison, he's endorsed by them.

[@Jonaldinho180]

I thought lee was the lead guitarist

[@levicumalegre8178]

Peter Lee is probably the lead and Jona is the rhythm :)

[@cocochanel3519]

LeVi mE before he leaves 😭

[@Jonaldinho180]

But jona seems to do the lead parts here. Also noticed it when they played it never ends

[@RomanCzachor]

Peter well jona is objectively a much better guitarist. Listen to I killed the prom queen, instrumentally they are leagues above bring me the horizon.

[@tjsmb1493]

They alternate between lead and rhythm but Lee usually do most of the leads

[@JordzHorizon]

@qeriton I loved Curtis but you do realize Lee did the solos :P He was the lead. But yeah Curtis was the writer. This is completely different type of music now though and this isn't about hitting every note on the guitar fast and heavy its about the rhythm that supports olis vocals. It's a different type of music that actually takes skill to write properly and know what you are doing.

[@Daksavedhas]

Miss jona

[@iggyman91]

Lee is so good

[@MrMorgoth1992]

@XxDreadfulDreamingxX Agreed, but I'm such a fan of Jona. He's played in both IKTPQ and Bleeding Through. He plays on Bleeding Throughs album Declaration and that album alone puts all of BMTH to shame.
