[@swampybogard9368]

That last chord is one of the best ways an album has ever ended.

[@djones_music]

Oh yeah 100%. Just watch though, Jake will find another way to top that on the next album

[@cnczy1036]

Dude I found GVF like 6 months ago and have become obsessed. I’ve been wondering how Jake’s gonna top this solo in this next album. Can’t wait man. What great music.

[@justanoverconfidentguitarist]

Gosh I remember hearing the album for the first time and when the music stopped i was thinking aaw it’s over but then Josh’s vocals into that amaaazing guitar solo came in and I was just sitting there in awe with my jaw dropped like an idiot it was so good. Great cover!

[@djones_music]

Oh yeah this tune absolutely blows me away every time I hear it. I’ve heard it’s incredibly good live too. (it used to be known as Black Flag Exposition)

[@EMCAVenom]

Every Guitarist’s face when they solo is one of the most incredible sights and watching you shred this god damn song was so incredibly epic. Nailed it dude you look like and clearly are good enough to be a member of Greta

[@djones_music]

Haha yeah everyone has their own unique faces when they solo and that’s what’s so cool about it. So glad you enjoyed the vid, and honestly your comment means a ton. I’m hoping to potentially at least get to jam this someday with them on stage, but to be told that I’m at the level where I could be a member is just so humbling. Honestly thank you so much🙏🤘

[@EMCAVenom]

I’d pay to see that! Rock on brotha 🤙🏼

[@djones_music]

Thank you!!🙏🙏🤘

[@danielgoncalves3980]

im addicted to this album. i cant even describe how it feels. GVF are really doing a great great work! And.. am i the only one who completely shivers with this song lyrics?

[@danielgoncalves3980]

oh btw, i forgot to say that this song actually gives me vibes of Free Bird

[@djones_music]

Oh yeah I totally agree. Lyrically and musically this album is incredible. And honestly that's an interesting comparison that I can kinda hear now that you mention it, but I definitely didnt hear that before!

[@luciafernandez3944]

I listened to the whole album and it's soo goood. I've loved light my love and age of machine. This is an 8min song and it is great, you don't get bored. I can't understand yet how you get the songs so well and make it sound that good, it's awesome! Love your covers

[@djones_music]

Oh I totally agree. 8 minutes well spent every time I listen to this tune. The album is so damn good as a whole too. Honestly lots of practice just learning. Even this cover compared to my Black Flag Exposition cover from a year ago has improved so much just because I keep working on my ear all the time. Thanks for the love, and I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying the content!🙏🤘

[@carterjeffords1155]

Sounds great!!! Good job on all the intricate little nuances and great playing, but here’s a little tip, I’ve noticed in your videos whenever you bend you seem to be relying on your fingers rather than your wrist, I recommend wrapping your thumb around the neck and anchoring your wrist when you bend, it makes everything much easier and allows for better and easier vibrato

[@djones_music]

Thank you!! I really appreciate the advice and I'm definitely gonna try it out! Its gonna be tricky though because I really tend to just get lost in the music and everything just goes on auto pilot😂

@@djones_music definitely does! I started a small band with buddies and have played a few times at shitty bars, last year at a half mil house on a lake but my guitarist always tells me nothing is impossible to play, practice is only required. Remembering that over the years I've learned SO many songs. Many by ear doodling around with him in our practice garage. Such an incredible hobby to have. Makes it so much more worthwhile when you have others just as eager to learn.

[@SuperCanadianPride]

unreal performance as always Dylan! I’m curious how many hours of practice do you reckon this took you? 1? lmao

[@djones_music]

Haha thanks so much man! Hmmm I’d say probably 2. I sat down and learned it all today. In fairness though I had the general idea already because I covered Black Flag Exposition a while back. This was similar, so I just had to figure out some new parts and the biggest thing was remembering the order of everything haha. Super cool song though and I had a blast learning it!!

[@mynameisjeff5264]

What are the chords just before thé solo ?!

[@djones_music]

They are A minor, a variation of D minor, C major, B diminished, A minor, D minor variation and then D major. I go fully in depth as to what these variations and chords are in the full lesson on my Patreon page if you are interested! You can find it at Patreon.com/dylanjones

[@mia-oq1iv]

So how do you do the lick after “the queen is dead we robbed her grave ?” I watched the tutorial maybe I missed it idk😭

[@djones_music]

Maybe I missed it in the tutorial... if I remember correctly that's the fast one right? If so, then it's 3rd fret E string pull off to 1st fret and then pull off to open E, followed by the same pattern. Then you alternate back and forth between the two strings a few times and as you speed up it will sound like Jake. Lmk if I have the part right here!

[@hunterballard9247]

I gotta know, how long did it take you to learn it all?

[@djones_music]

It took probably 4 hours of just going at it non stop! The solo is by far the hardest part but it was nice in the sense that it kinda repeats itself up an octave toward the end!
