Can we get a playthrough of the Fastest Way to a Girl's Heart? All the riffs you guys write are legendary

[@mastergamer-ip7nt]

I second this ^

[@v0idyt850]

@@mastergamer-ip7nt i third it

[@JayFFAFAlesanaES]

JD didn't write much of this song, but did add some new leads and changed little bits here and there. He did write The Fastest Way, though :)

[@rexhardrod9554]

I'm glad to see you still posting on here. Your guitar style is one of a kind and I really hope you are still with INK so we can continue to hear it along with your insane vocals, that mixed with Spencers are what make you guys my favorite band. Hope to see some more playthroughs like this in the future I love seeing how its played straight from the man himself.

[@ChanceStearns]

Seriously one of the cleanest guitar players I've ever seen

[@altheahobson7954]

Easily my favorite INK song!! So excited you posted this!!

[@vinnycaruso1166]

Probably in my top 4 favorite songs on the album

[@dharkravage6319]

I love the intro it is really smooth

[@JimmyCrow14]

You and Jum Root, brother. You're my two favorite guitarists. But when it comes to creativity and technicality, WHILE being catchy, your guitar writing is unmatched. Good shit.

[@robertlamberth6586]

I've always loved the guitar work that went into INK's songs since I first discovered them at Mansfield MA Warped Tour in 2014. I literally stopped in my tracks and stayed for the whole set. So these playthroughs are sooo satisfying to watch and listen to. Hope all is well JD, and whatever it is you decide to pursue in the future, i'm sure you'll absolutely crush it. Much love from Massachusetts!

[@rexhardrod9554]

Once I'm able to get playing again I'm 100% learning this, one of my favorite INK songs and the guitar is so smooth its hard not to fall in love.

[@johnslomke6881]

Well you might think youre in love...

[@ESPonMe]

THANK YOU SO MUCH I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR ACTUAL COVERS TO LEARN OFF AND YOU DO A DAMN PLAY THROUGH???? THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@JayFFAFAlesanaES]

I worked out how to play this song years ago (only up until the second chorus) and did a playthrough for KZbin. Unfortunately my guitar had old strings and I royally screwed the intro lead, so I took it down a while back. Though, when I first put it up JD was really nice and encouraged me through a comment, I'm glad we finally got a playthrough! I know JD didn't write a lot of this song but he did some really cool stuff for the band when he joined. It's a shame he's no longer in the band. Hope he's doing well :)

[@socksrfootjail7257]

I’m so happy you posted this. Such a good jam!

[@greekastrophe7483]

This is one of the best guitarist of all time

[@Rodrogro]

Cheers, from a huge Brazilian fan! More than 10 years has passed since the first time I heard it. Still amazing.

[@Jefftarnish]

Looks like i have some learning to do

[@ICantSnipe88]

Been waiting a proper playthrough of this ever since I heard this banger of an INK song!! Definitely my favorite song by you guys can't to hear more

[@ricardogalion4629]

Like always, your work is truly a blessing! You have no idea how long I've been waiting for this masterpiece, thank you JD! 🖤

[@derek72blazer]

Justin Jizzerblieck!!! Lol As a huge fan of MIW seeing you produce their last record is awesome. You kickass bro! Thanks for these videos and hope you keep them coming.

[@Ryo_B420]

Thanks bro a good guitarist who shows the inside of his compositions is a god. I hope that one day you will do it is the end☹

[@Cognitoman]

You have some of the coolest guitar licks

[@ixPeekABooBix]

one of the most iconic !

[@kolithodmadness3710]

I'm upset this video don't have more views. That was freaking awesome and on point 🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🔥🔥

[@xlrobertolx]

Thanks for the upload JD, would have loved to see you in chicago this year but it seems like you're having a great time producing. Kickass job on this video and on Disguise. 🤘

[@MDGtv]

JD's amazing work aside, who else can still hear Spencer's soaring vocals over this?

[@boult1487]

This is my all time favourite song, mainly for the guitars, oh my god 😍

[@boult1487]

I love this song so much

[@RiveriffOfficialTV]

Brilliant! I'm still waitin' for Let's Bury The Hatchet... In Your Head 😍👏

[@mcfrickin_spoons594]

really made my day to see this

[@daddyrledragon9837]

Thanks dude for this cover ! ;) Kiss from France guy !

[@gothiccduck5709]

I love your vids but I'm really confused if your still a member of INK

[@Jake5man2]

I think he’s taking a break for extra work with producing

[@cooliocaptin517]

Trickster Child he booked his production schedule ahead of the spring tours and I think the short summer one they’re doing now too

[@chrisyounes9281]

I know its not reliable but the wiki page says hes a former member. I really hope he comes back. Ive seen them since both justin morrow went to MIW and JD took a break. And its not the same without him.

[@martinsuarez4192]

@@chrisyounes9281 it sounds way to different, his scream is clearly missing. What was great was that combo he had with Spencer. It made live shows sound like the recordings

[@WYIT0]

Been looking around on Facebook/Twitter/Instagram for an answer as it was sad to not see JD on stage when I saw INK in Manchester last Wednesday. I agree there was a certain dynamic missing and I was like "I hope this new guitarist can pull off JD's parts". Honestly I was questioning if he was actually playing sometimes. There were a few things I think they just put on the backing tracks vocally too which is disappointing because the other UK shows seemed more authentic. I still had a blast at the show and all the extra theatrics with costumes and stage production help to elevate it. It was just a bit jarring to only see Spencer left as Connor and Justin have all left now too. Hope all is well though and I'm probably gonna buy a Slam Dunk ticket as they've been announced! :)

[@frank24242525]

Been waiting for this, favorite Ink song😭

[@shreky7510]

Excellent technique of playing a wonderful song. I want to hear something from the album The Predator Becomes the Prey and The Silver Scream))

[@keroflobs]

You are a fuckin legend JD !! Sick as always mate!

[@ianlee8376]

As much respect as I have for Dan as a player, INK is definitely missing you. Hope it's not a permanent move or that you're at least on to something bigger and better. 💪🤘

[@vladimirajuraskova2131]

This is so sick! One of my favorite songs ever

[@pizzasaurolophus]

crunch lab is an underrated pickup, especially for down tuning.

[@alecrobbins3989]

You’re an excellent guitarist

Love the song and the guitar!

[@clintbeasthood9758]

Was looking to learn how to play this and looked on youtube to see somebody else play it first and welp... Guess I found the place lol

[@ballpythonluvv1357]

Be great to see a play through of IT Is The End! Need those instrumentals.

Songs heavy af

Bro where are you? INK ain't the same without your vocals and guitar work.

[@emig2334]

Yea, Spencer is a good singer, but his screams ain't as good as Justin ones

Btw, I would not expect somebody else playing fortnite to listen to ink or metalcore in geneal

@@emig2334 lmao what? I can listen to whatever I want. I listen to DeathCore, Metalcore, death metal, brutal slamming death metal, and Grindcore. Its better than what most kids my age listen to.

Maaaaan where can we find tabs for this song? So damn good

[@justinvzu01]

Hey, Justin. I've recently become a huge fan of INK, my favorite song being The Fastest Way To A Girl's Heart (Is Through Her Ribcage). Though nowhere I can find tabs or guitar covers for the song. Would you mind recording a guitar playthrough for that song? If you actually read this, thanks so much for taking the time to read it.

[@inkjd]

you got it!

[@justinvzu01]

@@inkjd OH, fuck. Thank you so much! Do you know of any plans for INK to come to 013 in Tilburg, Netherlands by any chance? I couldn't go to the latest concert because it was too far away for me.

[@arbol262]

OMG I LOVE YOU

[@scottkennedy5508]

This is so clever

[@GamersOfTheRoundTable]

pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee do Let's Bury The Hatchet! my favorite INK song and no tabs on ultimate guitar or other covers on here to learn from!

Is this the same guitar in the other videos or is it just a new color?

So does dan fill in for you live or are you both technically memebers. I saw ink in lubbock earlier this year and you wherent there. Dan sugerman was there in your place

[@jamesbarr4633]

Hey JD Can Whats The Tuning Of The Power In Belief

KYU Bii that one is Standard B tuning on a 7 string.

[@tyrantband5484]

Thanks Man!! I Like The New MIW Album!!!

[@daviddinning]

How does one get a tone like this?

[@tyrantband5484]

Hey JD One More Question What Tunings Did You Use On The Silver Scream Please I Want To Learn The Whole Album So If You Could Tell Me Please

[@dvrkstrvnd]

Not 100% sure on some of these (The tuning sounds right but it's hard to tell) but here's a starting point The American Nightmare - Drop A Thank God Its Friday - Drop G Stabbing in the Dark - Drop A Savages - B standard (not sure) The Jig Is Up - Drop A (not sure) A Grave Mistake - Drop A Rocking The Boat - Drop A Enjoy Your Slay - B Standard Freak Flag - Drop A The World In My Hands - Drop C# Merry Axe-Mas - Drop A Love Bites - Drop C# (???) IT Is The End - Drop C#
