[@sandpitturtle2781]

This dude genuinely is the most underrated guy in the business, for real. You'll find more riffs in ONE Erra song from any album of theirs, than a lot of other bands entire fucking albums.

[@greysilence7941]

for sure!!!!!!

[@oceandreams9625]

I love this comment

[@aprioris.knowledge2765]

Are you saying any of erras albums or anyones albums? I can name a few erra songs where jesse wasnt the primary writter that have more riffs....

[@oceandreams9625]

Cortez Johnson Yeah maybe on Impulse and Augment, but I am pretty sure he wrote the majority of MoC and Drift

[@aprioris.knowledge2765]

@@oceandreams9625 the bassist also is a guitarist and he helped write moments and drift you can look their update videos and the videos they post to their instagram

[@MK4vDubbin]

If you think this looks difficult to play, just keep in mind Jesse also sings over a lot of parts of this.

[@TheInsaneVU]

He isn't playing lead while singing, so it is not that hard.

[@sandpitturtle2781]

TheInsaneVU He does sometimes.

[@TheInsaneVU]

@@sandpitturtle2781 show me video of that.

[@Sum41FanNumberOne]

@@TheInsaneVU If you play songs like him, and sing like he sings, it is hard. Why everyone think that way, show me your skills.

[@TheInsaneVU]

@@Sum41FanNumberOneI can clearly see that you don't play guitar, neither you sing. Point of my comment was that he doesn't play LEAD guitar and sing, when he sings he plays RHYTHM guitar, because singing and playing lead is pretty hard, playing rhythm and singing is not.

[@cringelorddivine9337]

This has to be one of the most beautiful guitars I've ever seen.

[@RILRIL1]

That was deeply impressive. How on earth does he play that and sing???

[@clarkbolding5161]

I would love love love to see a play through of Expiate by Erra. The dancing guitar at the beginning is mesmerizing

[@oceandreams9625]

clark bolding He has two different versions of the intro on his Instagram but a full on play through would be sick!

[@cinnastix8924]

Agreed

[@freethinkers-inc.]

Yes I fully agree. Expiate is my favourite song of the new album. And especially the last 50s of the song is overwhelming. I can't hold my feelings everytime I'm listening to it. It has something godlike.

[@WithoutAChance64]

Awesome guitar cover! Erra should definitely consider you if they ever need a guitarist.

[@JoHarm96]

WithoutAChance64 I hope you realize this is the guitarist for Erra... or maybe you were making a joke lol

[@cat_loaf943]

You're being sarcastic.

[@killjoyredux8361]

Lol

[@stevekratochvil8101]

The entire Neon album is Gods greatest gift to Metal. This band deserves so much credit its crazy.

[@winterunterseher8937]

Agreed, I never understand why it's usually always ranked lower in their discography, one of their best, just as good as Drift if you ask me 🤘 🤙

[@jacobbutler7942]

I love how he plays with such ease and style. Such a talented dude. One of my favorites to watch.

[@spool29k97]

Something about natural guitar finishes with gold hardware that looks so good.

[@wiertech9]

It's because gold is also natural. When I worked for my uncle years ago, a lot of stain used for wood had the word gold in it.

[@DriFD3S]

I have an Ibanez S970WRW, and I like my dark hardware. The guitar in this video I would definitely play the heck out of.

[@DaddyFatherDad]

Gold hardware on any guitar makes it much prettier

[@apvcore]

If God was real, and played guitar, he would play a natural finished guitar with gold hardware, no doubt in my mind. Such a beautiful guitar. Probably plays like a fuckin dream. 😍❤

[@steinnbjorn7627]

I think he also added the pickguard to match the wood color, because the stock version of this Ibanez doesn't have any pickguard, it turned out even better visually with it imo

[@60fpsplanet]

The reason why I fell in love with modern metal over the old is that the riffs are as melodic as the guitar solos.

[@ttc4467]

I want that guitar so much

[@ttc4467]

Im not sure by looking at it So I might google it and see

[@PONCHEEZED]

Black Limba top?

[@definitelynotgore]

^ Yup. It’s an RG752LW I believe, or some iteration of an RG752 at least. The stock model has nickel colored hardware rather than gold, and doesn’t have a pickguard. The gold hardware, pickups, and pickguard were all modifications done by the dudes at Ibanez due to his endorsement.

[@jackrauser168]

its mahogany body i think... that color is very characteristic, and a mahogany wood have a dark tone

[@definitelynotgore]

Loki Delgado Maybe the body but the top is definitely limba, mahogany doesn’t have that grain.

[@Fivesthecreator]

Jesse is such a blessed man. I fucking miss the old days when Augment dropped, those were the days i felt this band absolutely unstoppable, there was no one capable to replicate the sound they had plus their lyrics were so on point in every song... I truly believe that album has been the best i've ever heard.

[@TheTlMEWARP]

Augment is up there as one of the best albums ever.

[@virnalinebrida-sunga7748]

@Kawaii Imouto he wrote 3 songs in augment if i remember right. including dementia and hybrid earth. (correct me if im wrong) and those were the most memorable ones in augment

[@drivenhabits7959]

I feel this on a spiritual level

[@oceandreams9625]

@Kawaii Imouto Alan said he wrote all of Spirits Away, Crimson, Frostbite and Rebirth besides the ending solo. Jesse wrote a lot more than you think

[@mfadel1012]

Jesse Doreen

[@5dayslater]

It’s hurts my brain just thinking he plays this and sings at the same time.

[@InfinityReptar]

Robbie Jones he usually plays the rhythm parts when singing, but regardless a phenomenal musician! Although there was one song that he tapped and sang at the same time. Absolutely insane.

[@SkyvDen]

@@InfinityReptar he also does tapping while singing/scream singing, its fucking insane 🤘

[@jeffreyferreira3811]

@@InfinityReptar Orchid. That pissed me off too lol

[@alexchurko8498]

NRG jinjer nice profile picture

[@highestsettings]

If you want to play complicated parts and sing, all you have to do is slow it down and then you learn where the notes interact. Like you might sing a note, then an eighth note later you play a guitar note. You have to think of them both as one part. Man it's really hard to explain, but it's like using left and right hands on a piano, or using all your appendages as a drummer. The more complicated it is the harder it becomes obviously, you also need to be skilled at both singing and playing the guitar, but it's not as difficult as someone who hasn't tried it might believe. If you can sing the vocal, and play the guitar parts individually without too much effort, then with practice it shouldn't be too hard for you to do both at the same time. Just slow it down to the point where you can do both (that might be 60 bpm, it doesn't matter so long as you can actually do it), and speed it up gradually until you're at the right speed. I can solo and sing at the same time for example, so long as I'm not improvising the solo and I have practiced both parts individually and together. You just stop thinking about it, and do it, like you would anything else you practice enough.

[@bodoms_demon4159]

Love how Reddit and KZbin complains about ERRA losing its touch yet the technicality is still there, just the vibes are different. Awesome work! Sumerian, set the guys up with a headliner tour 2019. Please.

[@chrismarq6669]

Eh I would agree it is lost a bit especially comparing to the first two but it's still good

[@Dismal626]

they probably say that because its hard to make out the leads with the shitty mastering on this album

[@gh0stdem0n666]

Well most of their riff became repetitve, its time for a change

[@oceandreams9625]

Kawaii Imouto There's a lot more going on than that

[@Hifcrea]

Dude Erras guitar and drum work blows me the fuck away with every new release. The reason people say that is because this fucking vocalist just doesn’t belong with that sound. I want GARRISON BACK. Without garrison erra lost it’s true magic for me despite me loving each new release. I just can’t get into those god dam vocals. Even Ian sounded at least somewhat like him.

[@oceandreams9625]

I didn't realize how technical this song was until the play through. I'd love to learn this. Jesse you rock as always my dude

[@ProdByClockwerk]

Soul Fire/ Ocean Dreams You would have noticed it if the song/album was so badly mixed.

Such a wonderful piece of guitar playing, buried in the damn mix. Frustrating.

[@Vojtakrasa]

The chorus leads are barely perceivable...

[@mister9tailz245]

it would’ve be neat to see Erra rework Neon... like Tesseract did with Polaris/Errai

[@mattkohl9360]

Extremely frustrating and u would think in a GUITAR play through you would hear the GUITAR the most 🤦🏼‍♂️I’m a drummer and it still annoys me how I only hear drums and vocals

[@XShmoke]

Yeah. I just put my amazing headphones on and still can’t hear the cleans much and a lot of the guitar with the clean vocals. But that’s just their style I guess. The solo is super fucking audible. I guess the guitar play through shouldn’t have just used the audio for the album. Their first albums focused a lot more on the guitar I thought anyways. Seven is forever an OP song

[@luisrocha26]

@@Vojtakrasa makes me want to learn this by watching his fingers just to actually hear what it sounds like

[@XDarkStrikerX]

This guy is one of the best out there for sure. That's what i love with Erra, they're not trying to be the heaviest or most technical band ever, they just want to be the the best at what they're doing and it totally works. This is pure passion 👌

Why are the guitars so quiet? This is a guitar playthrough

I think Erra (especially currently) is good at holding back something so what is forefront can be recognized first. Some bands it's just everything on loud and it loses quality

[@ChilisauLP]

@@spenserdark1290 But this is a playthrough. It's supposed to show you how the song is played and a major part of that is actually hearing what the guitarist plays.

I dunno about these guys, but if I know I want to write a fast part, I slow it down so I can write something melodic and interesting and not just sweeping a chord or going up and down a scale.

I'm sure he gets a simple idea, throws it into Guitar Pro and experiments with the midi notes.

from what I've heard in interviews, I think he writes it in a tab software first and then adjusts afterwards once he's playing it through with guitar.
