Finger Eleven - Paralyzer - Guitar Lesson

[@StealthBeeKid]

Dude this comment section is a real time machine, it's so happy and nostalgic to see people from 12 years ago here. Amazing

[@sushio4357]

❤️

[@jdmusic07]

I wish guitarists did this more. Really awesome stuff. Seem like nice guys who would be fun to jam with too.

[@Nexus42]

4:30 to skip to the actual instructions. =)

[@solthie]

İ love 9 years ago you

[@thehunter7422]

Love when bands do the tutorials themselves for us so we can learn it along with some awesome back stories of the song itself. Finger eleven doesn't get enough love IMO. This and living in a Dream are amazing songs. That and of course the famous song for Kane 😁 practically grew up with this band childhood wise kinda lol

[@Britabe65]

man u guys are great for taking the time to do this. My band is learning it. how much better does it get than to learn it from the composers

[@bassusplay]

I like the force coming from "Paralyzer"...Also like the bass line, few notes spinning arround...very powerful and effective! Great!

[@Zakk_Ross]

We’re playing this at our summer rock band camp! Glad you guys posted this :)

[@simonealbertini5580]

I love this song and this band! ❤☺👍

[@slaytallica81]

Man I remember from 2008-2012 this song was in so many videos and I got annoyed hearing it multiple times per day 😂 I love this song now and I'm glad it became a meme again

[@Demetri4553]

I watched them in concert at our fair on Friday 8/2/2013 amazing show got to talk and shake the lead singers hand

[@guitarfreek1]

ya get a 60s fender strat i got one its the lake placid blue the fret metal things are shaved,bridge it fixed and ajusted and only needs double pickups-my uncle gave it to me and had it for years,he put a lot of work into it.its a nice guitar,good choice

[@rezsky404]

I'm gonna play this song on december 21st. Just for the record, I do not believe the world will end on that day.

[@drc022800]

Just for the record, the world did not end

[@macbeliever]

yea, on tour with chevelle they mixed in take me out, another brick in the wall, and paralyzer together for their ending song.

[@fingereleven]

seriously, i'll haunt your window curtains

[@JohnnyDeppigX]

awesome song and lesson - thx a lot!!

[@mvoart9829]

Loved this song before I watched this video. Now I not only love it, but appreciate how complex it is. (To me at least, I suck at music.)

[@FedorMachida]

Awesome stuff!

[@cami2882._.]

this song is so fun to play

[@lalasosu3]

yah i think tahts what he said.. i couldt understand or see it very well thank you VERY much!! i appreciate it!

[@lalasosu3]

wow i was thinking the same!

[@strider7557]

I love the chords on the breakdown!

[@EverydayJ1786]

Ive yet to see anyone play paralyzer the way james black plays it. or replicate his guitar tone.

[@moosedude283]

every band should do this

[@nicktheodore]

this is a reeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllly good song guys!

[@SamotneKrzeslo2k]

Its interesting that riffs just happen to musicians :D !

[@lalasosu3]

oh i meant which strings was he holding down.. i cant tell i have bad eyesight ive watched this over alot of ties but still cant get it quite right... and my guitar is tuned..

[@bootht99]

Lasousu3, the frets he is playing in the video which he claims to do on the album version are all on the low e and are as follow -0-16-14-12-11-x-11-11-12 :|| Have fun with it cheers

[@BMuris]

Thanks for sharing

[@24bulls08]

totally nice... thanks dude its helping

[@shaindaman13]

those first few notes sound like " In Stereo" by The Cars

[@xsitied2708]

yeah

[@RDC_Autosports]

love it!

[@BearCrossStudio]

Im watching this in 2012 thumbs me up man

[@RDC_Autosports]

8:07 i knew it! that’s the answer i was looking for

[@chadmartfeld]

Saw finger 11 in North Battleford, Sk. At the casino Long time ago , it was great ! Took my dad and to this day he always fucks up the name and calls them 11 fingers haha

[@pandashero9145]

Was he playing a Gibson sg in this??? I have one in my hands trying to learn it right now😂😂

[@shetbetch5286]

what i wanna know is which member is answering all these comments 😂❤️i luv it

[@BitCrazed]

Ignore everything you think you know about the guitars you think you want. Then go to a decent store (or stores) and play with a ton of different guitars from different manufacturers. Even models from same manufacturer have different neck widths, pickups, etc. Listen to the guitars clean and overdriven. Try to listen through an amp the same/similar to your own at home. THEN decide. Ignore the name on the headstock - what feels and sounds right IS right!

[@greyflap]

At 4:35 it kind of sounds like the riff to "The Cars-Moving in Stereo". Except I think Paralyzer made millions more than any Cars song ever did, which is too bad because The Cars made a lot of great music.

[@theledstone]

Been trying to learn to play this song with Rocksmith 2014. I knew they had to have done something with that lead verse part! It was weird/funky to play but seemed like it shouldnt be lol

[@theledstone]

Still a great song regardless. Awesome that they did this video too

[@lalasosu3]

hey sry but could someone tell me what fret and strings hes playing at 4:45-4:50?

[@fingereleven]

His is also possessed by magical leprechauns.. Is yours as well?

[@harshgharlute9524]

Maaaan it has been 13 years!!! I miss those days!! Can you help me time travel

[@fingereleven]

@@harshgharlute9524 I wish

[@StealthBeeKid]

@@harshgharlute9524 this comment section is insane, there's still people from 13 years back here! This is amazing, I have never seen a video so well preserved as this one

[@fingereleven]

I never leave, I’m trapped by an evil KZbin algorithm

[@kennyplay2301]

Here's the deal. Yes, Gibson owns the Epiphone name but Gibson has Samick make the Epiphones in Korea.Gibson owns Epiphone but they are not made in the USA by Gibson. Epiphones are made in Korea by Samick. Samick is the largest guitar manufacturer in the world. They make guitars for many companies. They also make guitars under their own name. Some of the less expensive Epiphones are made in China.

[@Macweese]

man wish i could play as good as that =P

[@arkavagoswami3068]

plz begging you guys to make a tutorial for slow chemical...plzzzzzzzzzz ;)

[@carson00042]

best band ever

[@cmm98]

fuck yeah dude FINGER 11 OWNS BEST HARD ROCK BAND OUT THERE!!HOW COME JAMES DOESNT HAVE HIS GREYEST OF BLUE SKIES ERA HAIR ANYMORE?HE LOOKED DOPE

[@fingereleven]

yes they are

[@bnapoleonc123]

According to Wiki, they actually are a metal band, and this was their sort of "commercial" song,

[@quinthightower95]

What state are they from?

[@mfacca]

it's Chad Kroeger, he is the singer if Nickelback... that ring a bell as to why it sounds like him?

[@agentf672]

Wait I don't get it it's on the band's youtube channel but some different guy is liking the comments what is going on?

[@billykyle7289]

Let's call this a lesson but not show you how to play the song! Genius.

[@nitjared6148]

Seeing them play it up close is the intention. Most musicians can learn just by looking at someone else play

[@billykyle7289]

Lol now that I reread my comment I guess I came off as stubborn and rude. I'll admit I am somewhat of a visual/auditory but I was only able to get the beginning of the rhythm guitar. I also believe this should've been more in depth mainly because of beginning guitar players

[@TheSShadye]

hey does anyone knows the tabs for bass? i can only find bass covers here in utube but the real ones? and i have tried to search from google but i really dont get those, i just wanna know is it fast for bass or slow or what.. please help :S

[@sherdakooky]

what exactly does finger 11 mean?

[@wayoutoftune]

anyone know what tunning they use? Eb mabey

[@467076]

Thumbs up if your watching in 2012.

[@fingereleven]

no state, they are from canada

[@greyflap]

I meant millions as in dollars only and only in comparison with any individual Cars hit, not colectively. But you'd be surprised how close the dollar amount for paralyzer alone would compare to all of the Cars hit singles combined. You have to consider that there's a huge pay scale difference between these two era's.

[@kennyplay2301]

Also, Finger 11 is on the same label as Creed. That label only had 2 bands. Now 1...lol

[@przemko924]

yes, and his name is John Petrucci.

[@bigbballplayer1]

around 4:00 they start playing

[@dayneedsaname]

cheers!

[@cjkeegan100]

@Rickertat cheers :)

[@heavygar]

skip to 4:00 for the song

[@lifeson46]

jack black and rick james? wow they look so different

[@carson00042]

are they Canadian???

[@Lvythyn001]

@Rickertat thanks :)

[@svorecruit9239]

I wonder how you feel about quagmire toilet

[@jrs6066]

just lettin u guys know, they start to talk about the actualy lesson at 3:50 .

[@beastological]

if u dont wanna hear em talk, use tht time to admire their guitars

[@mellowchick08]

what the heck! lol if it werent for dragonslyde i would watched tht whole beginning lol. thanks!

[@P4ddl35]

Hahaha, when he plays that intro riff slowly it sounds like the intro to Hallowed Be Thy Name by Iron Maiden.

[@sacklaus441]

men i met them and their actually really cool! put the onre to the right offered me weed but he was drunk so i don`t blame him.

[@fingereleven]

Wiki lol anyone can add info there... finger eleven are a rock band

[@nebnampach]

sweet

[@AlexArmes]

06:52 is cool!

[@SuperCutiepie1012]

😂fuckin love this song, memoriesssss

[@Pingqwah]

They're from Ontario.

[@fingereleven]

a ghost from another dimension

[@shizamza]

ha! if u put there first names and last names together theyre rick james and jack black :P trip

[@DerCriticer]

as long as people on ultimate-guitar have tabbed that song, where's the problem?

[@fingereleven]

correct

[@RAZORrulz12]

Ricks guitar looks exactly like mine

[@williamkuryaki]

Cool shit guys

[@utpalrockstar]

good..

[@londoncity6986]

2025!!!! full nostalgia rn xD

[@neweraguitarist18]

does anyone agree with me that this guitar guitar riff sounds like franz ferdinands take me out?

[@jongmagee]

@Rickertat thanks dudez lol

[@taylorbritt499]

as a beginner to guitar (literally beginner, barely learned the into to Crazy Train the other day and thats all i know) this isnt as helpful as i had hoped. I'm one that needs it broken down into frets and strings.

[@afxmnstr]

I wondered how people were going to take this lesson. Thanks for your input - i have students trying to learn this song right now.

[@whatfrog903]

hah. they don't -_- Hey you guys know the song Into the Night by Santana and this one guy they sound like Nickelback--canadian band that's weird. FINGER ELEVEN RULES THO :D

[@suzyqb1975]

I couldn't have said it better myself smcs :)

[@realrockerdude]

can anyone send me the tabs for the whole song? THANK YOU

[@BearsThatCare]

Yea I gotchu hold on

[@christianrockr08]

haha he said key of E. it's, quite obviously, in the key of E minor. it STARTS on an Em chord. and E and Em are very different keys. obviously he knows that, it was just funny to hear.

[@StapledToTheVoid]

Strangely enough, these guys are playing it wrong, at least according to a tab book I have. It's played in a much lower fret on the high e string in my book and it sounds exactly the same. These guys should have consulted the "official tab" before making this video ;)

[@shizamza]

HOLY SHIT PEOPLE! does it really matter what freakin year were watching this in? THUMBS DOWN TO ALL YOU!

[@mangualc]

made me wanna clear my own throat.lol.=D

[@sikfuk48]

Actually,... they switched before Les Paul Left.. he didn't like the new shape and they told him to pound sand... thats when he ended their deal...

[@fingereleven]

Kitchener/Hamilton

[@willfairweather177]

Thumbs up if your watching in 2012!

[@Smackson2000]

was that guy wearing a piggeh shirtfrom pewdiepie lol *brofist*

[@jimenezbeast2]

they didn't teach the groovy part after the bridge :/

[@loleirik4000]

Yeah, thats the only part i cant play :(
