[@darklegendoriginalowner8470]

For everyone asking about the tuning, this is B Standard: From low to high: *B E A D F# B*

[@khaotickyle2480]

Darklegend OriginalOwner thanks Man

[@tonigoldbeck1600]

Darklegend OriginalOwner true legend, even a year later😂

[@JT-mz8vn]

it breaks the got damn strings on my les paul

[@SunriseMidnight]

@J T You’re tuning down, how does the string break? thank you btw for the tuning, my hero.

[@JoshyyJay]

🤣

[@danielmcadam2879]

I think this is the best kind of tutorial. Get the people who actually made the song to teach you. Perfect. Love the video

[@JoneHoftun]

Weeeeell, they didnt make the song

[@danielmcadam2879]

they made their own version, right?

[@wherecreaturescollide1428]

Daniel McAdam the song is a cover by a band called Bad Company

[@cryfargamingnanan4772]

thats almost every band ever but o=k

[@jhunter443]

Yeah and Bad Company didn't originally play it anywhere nearly this intricately either.

[@jdj62464]

Love it when the artist shows how their song is REALLY played. Thanks Jason & Guitar World!!

[@andrewjacoby9027]

1:15 Jason hook showing his appreciation for youtube guitarists

[@alexvoltornist6384]

Oh my God, but Jason is godlike. I love him so much. Just keep going in such cover videos. And let FFDP keeps going in their excellent music career!)

[@kevinheyde5851]

Thanks Jason! Absolutely awesome!!! Finally found the solo part too. Octave higher definitely sounds better on the fast lick. Wish they would have had youtube 30 years ago when I was in high school. I might have learned to play. Awesome that you take time to be "real" in these vids.

[@sarasotabjjribeirojiu-jits4233]

where is the solo video

[@diggity0607]

Can't get enough of this song. You guys killed it.

[@IAmTHEGoD0fHELLFIRE]

And when you put it all together it sounds a wee bit absolutely awesome.

[@PeterJhim]

wheres the solo video?

[@DanLokar]

"let's take a look at the solo..." *video ends* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ... D:

[@Roam865]

Crushes the soul. =/

[@ernest1576]

The solo still trying too get the intro been practicing for months now

[@Defund_HOA.]

Please tell me I'm not the only one who mumbled "A company"@0:51

[@marcoaasterud1401]

Haha, I did to

[@xxrisebossxx4993]

+panterask8r14 i did 2 lol hahaha

[@cadennapier6417]

You not alone

[@pivetlord13]

This guy has been a huge influence on my lead playing. I find myself using alot of the licks he does. I especially love his 1 1/2 step bends haha (that would like bending from the 12th fret to the 15th)

[@Geo-fq7td]

Jason Hook is my idol

[@jarongarland9446]

Thanks Jason! & Guitarworld for posting this, it helped ALOT!

[@MM-ui9rm]

Fellow moto brother definitely a fan of the music!

[@ROKRmarc]

Yup...you rock Jason...Thank you for this lesson.

[@chococoplex]

I like the articulation of his picking, very disciplined. Might have to look into this band.

[@heissluft9667]

I would love to see the vid for the solo but sadly it seems like its not available anymore....

[@kingmong7949]

Dammit I was really hoping there would be a second vid for the solo

[@ReaperHallows]

I know

[@ScaRav90]

he does a nice job of explaining it... I like it...

[@JackBlackYakAttack]

Was looking for a piano tutorial, i havent played the guitar in a couple years Yet here i am

[@williamjeffreys2980]

Thank you very much! You guys did a great job with your cover of this song.

[@melelli22]

i really wanted to hear the solo...

[@Ghostman7777]

This band is great. Glad to see a mainstream metal band break the mold.

[@deanputnam8077]

I learned the song with this vid! Thx jason keep rockn

[@Daronor01]

are there some TABS around for that version? And how do i get them?

[@jcdenton4534]

Basically, Jason: Alright. I'm going to *teach you how to play Through The Fire and The Flames with ONE FINGER.*

[@ryane323]

@solunasunrise It's a Gibson Explorer with EMG 81 and 85 pickups in the bridge and neck respectively. He uses custom gauge strings to tune down that low. His low (what would be) E string is a .70

[@sploink6745]

love the jersey and the lesson

[@Remnufacture]

so happy that this song is still a favorite for some people and I think of the original song from Bad Company´s Bad Company^^

[@ColCnda]

the whole thing is on guitar world!!!

[@shonlamberty7109]

Thank for lesson!...Awesome job!!

[@jaydixson1731]

Really awesome 👏

[@ReplacedTea]

I caught your pick at Melbourne Soundwave 2014!

[@therealrockguy100]

Thanks for this. Jesus this is low. Special guitar just for this song :)

[@TheKartoffel101]

Why no one knows that the song is from the 70s and writen by the band "Bad Company"?

[@awesomem66]

Yeah i knew ;)

[@hcazpena]

Rocking that Fox Shirt hell yeah

[@guitarfelon29]

I think it's a very good lesson. . And I agree, buy a book and learn some chords. Shot the have chord charts @ Wal-Mart for like 4$ .

[@SuperGuitarMark]

haha, i just got finished learning the song from this video and then wipe my shirt and find a little bit of drool on my shirt. This is how possessive this lesson is.

[@ItsBigBadMoneyBrad75]

That's Really good Jason, what kind of Guitar is that and what kind of brand is it, and I wanna get that kind of Guitar for Christmas.

[@i_am_wilde_tongie_-4151]

that is a pretty dope ass guitar

[@georgezoorobjr2765]

midnyte fires Just to let you know, the neck pickup is a 60. 60s are blue, 85s are yellow.

[@georgezoorobjr2765]

midnyte fires Mhm

[@channwon8535]

Thanks for teaching!!!

[@MrGattor33]

MY GOD THIS IS AWESOME!!!

[@ItsBigBadMoneyBrad75]

At 1:02, what kind of position is that he did on the Guitar?

[@marshall3927]

Thats a barre D chord (from low E to high E string: X35553 / X3555X, I cannot see if he holds the high E string but as I hear he doesn't play so second version is easier)

[@MosesSharma]

HOOKED ON JASON!!!

[@BBMonkey77]

@MrExplorer260 The palm of his right hand is slightly rested on the strings, muting them to create a heavier deeper sound. A lot of palm muting is done "fully" where the palm is completely on the strings. Where as here he is only slightly muting the string.

[@CleverDjembe]

RAD! I'll learn this soon :)

[@metalheadrelic9873]

Brother! Saw you on Counting Cars last night, that was a fuckin' bad ass tattoo you had done of Ace! He was my hero and idol growing up too, so I could totally relate! You kick ass!

[@anarchydog]

Is that possible with a regular electric guitar or do you need a specific guitar

[@Omen_Seven]

@Lokar92 Meh, yeah, I'd like to see the solo too, but its not overly difficult to improv. Its mostly played on the g and b-strings between the 12th and 19th frets aside from the high notes at the very end which are obviously on the high e-string. Its made even easier by the fact that Jason and Zoltan's highs are relatively easy to reproduce.

[@brandyn7396]

wheres the solo

[@eddiesimon1511]

Hey Mr. Hook you teach guitar classes!

[@Steve_dalla]

finally fuck yeah man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! love this song love the band rock on do more!

[@bobk2314]

Great guitar player

[@JosephEid]

yesss finaaaaaly Jason Hook ..

[@TopJimmyWinn]

I can hear a trace of "diary of a madman" song in there, around the chorus part. Not note for note, but very reminiscent.

[@TheDorian120723]

Diary of a DEADman came out AFTER this song did..so if anything you'll hear traces of THIS song in that one

[@joshuahunter2511]

TheDorian120723 I'm sure he actually means Diary Of A Madman. xD

[@gregward9948]

+TheDorian120723 actually for you're information diary came out in 1982 and this version came out in 2006 or 07 so you'e argument is invalid. Stupid. Rest in peace Randy

[@nckhed]

@@gregward9948 Your* 2x

[@jwabram]

I'd think 13s would be fine too. You need a heavier gauge string to go down that low otherwise it's like playing noodles and you can't play noodles. I'll throw this out there too since I learned the hard way years ago. If you have a floating bridge (tremolo) and you put heavier gauged strings on there, you may need to put extra springs on it to keep the bridge from rising when tuning.

[@MusicDude86]

B standard is such a great tuning.

[@naomiratliff7961]

this man isa fuckin awesome guitarist!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ericirwin413]

More like Three Finger Death Punch now since two of them are gone!! 🙁 >Ivan, Zoltan, and Chris< >Jason and Jeremy

[@bones543210]

Ok thanks! :). So I tried drop tuning until the chord patterns landed on the correct frets but I guess I need higher gauge strings because they were really loose when tuned that low.

[@williamzimbrakos8737]

That's excellent that you did that video.

[@Terminathan97]

Damn! That tone is fucking bone crushing!

[@Harrysound]

I like this guy hes good.

[@cloudchaser3165]

is that a razorback because i was going to buy it but bought a warlock instead but still its a pretty bad ass guitar.

[@devincatron7898]

What type of guitar do you have? Mine sounds and looks a lot different than yours... I'm saving money to get another.

[@Chancespam]

That's a Gibson Explorer with EMGs, not sure which models.

[@transcendentalexistence]

@zachrhino18 It's not drop B. It's B standard tuning ^^

[@dragz1224]

such a nice guitar :)

[@Surprisemothafugga]

He just Five Finger Death Punched my mind.

[@monkeyboi0123]

Is that a standard Explorer? The body looks a bit thicker than usual

[@boosted928]

@megajames3000 that's actually a motocross shirt... Fox is a motocross company...

[@runningboy97]

i tuned it to drop b and it sounds good

[@BJ-lp9uv]

That is the only way to learn the song and they are good as hell

[@mij_muse7711]

The guitar is an old gibson explorer

[@psycrophagist731]

@kickmeihitu it should sound alright. the sound would also depend on the gauge of strings that you use. certain string gauges that are lower will make dropped tunings sound horrid.

[@TempName123]

@pivetlord13 the low e sounds right and everything else sounds right if i move it two frets over when i have the e 2 1/2 and everything else 1 1/2

[@konstadinosorfanidis2400]

Where can i find the full song like the one in the intro?

[@xTheUn4gIVen]

B Standard is 5 half steps from E Standard, and Jason Hook clearly plays B minor in E minor position.

[@sekimorth]

So where can i find the full video?

[@kevinwingate933]

you make it look so easy XD

[@johndeere445]

This is in B standard, for those who don't know. 5FDP uses B standard, not drop b. Anyway, anyone have the 2nd half to this?.

[@joshsmith3987]

Can someone please tell me where to find the solo

[@larryconklin5744]

I will not rest until I find the secret to that tone. Yes I realize baritone tuning is a big part of it but there's more than just a low tuning.

[@demon92490]

If he's using a standard neck length with a baritone tuning I recommend thicker strings just Something that might help. Good luck with your tone search!

[@juandragon250]

the t-shirt is of motocross or the paintball??

[@ShadowGhost777]

:D how much is all the equipment, guitar, amps, everything cus obviously it sounds perfect lol

[@blujade1278]

what pedals where you using?

[@Papipin]

Will a pedal work?

[@rhjernigan]

What type of amp u using ???

[@danielharris7833]

Can you tell me the song in the beginning is?

[@bones543210]

so wait this isn't standard tuning? like it's down a few steps?

[@ALockheartmusic]

i want that guitar!

[@bewaretheilluminati4256]

Dammit, i buy this guitar and i must learn to play!

[@DEMONdunce3]

Is he using a bass or electric guitar?

[@e4g1e1]

@solunasunrise Looks to be some sort of custom Gibson Explorer

[@acledfloyd]

His guitar is what the signature Deathklock guitar was supposed to look like.

[@MolagsBols]

Quick way to learn this is to slow down the playback speed and play it through

[@AydenMurray]

"Let's take a looks at the solo" *video ends* AW HELL NO

[@C5Z06CarGuy]

Where's the video for the solo?

[@VinceLovan]

Anyone have a link to the solo video? I’ve tried Guitar World’s website and can’t find it.

[@bickleyjonas6145]

Don't think it was ever made

[@bencalloway4315]

How do you get the tuning for this song

[@TempName123]

how many steps down from e standard is b for each string
