[@ForeverJinxxed]

Hey Jake, I just wanted to say thank you for these videos. Now that I am three months into my schooling at Full Sail, and learning about this stuff, I really enjoy learning about the equipment, gear and add-ons in pro tools from an actual musician like yourself. You videos are very informative and great to watch. Keep up the awesome work and looking forward to your new videos. Stay strong and positive.

[@ashc3504]

This is so cool. It is so nice hearing some of these songs without the vocals..and New Religion has such awesome instrumentals. Keep rocking Jake. I love your music

[@Itsmeieva]

this sounds so awesome, just wanted to say thanks jake, i've been playing guitar for 2 years now im in a band and i've got myself a nice schecter (omen 6). carry on rocking, can't wait for bvb 5

[@rickneff-metal6275]

Just bought this about a week ago. I absolutely love this amp! Great playing man!

[@maxpotter3021]

Sounding beyond killer, dude! Love the New Religion playthrough!

[@raynmakr13]

Nice to see you play new religion its been a while! Cant wait for your signature e-1 to come out! Happy it comes in a hardtail version :D

[@raynmakr13]

Doodles yes there will be a hardtail version of this guitar in the video as a production model!! So excited

[@IndrajeetPala]

I loved the black burst! I am just waiting for them to release the Floyd Rose E1 in black... I just didn't like the Purple Burst

[@davey21502]

Me too man.. I Love Schecter guitars. Only ONE Ibanez left in the collection,,, The rest our Schecter

[@jedirocker8]

Great video man, thanks for posting

[@finnzevo]

Great playing! And Tone!

[@renz33]

Nice Parkway Drive shirt Jake :D

[@aidencantrell8534]

Awesome solo for the amp jake it sound like a sound for bvb

[@claudiaarcade6356]

Sounds so awesome

[@andysixxsbatman6817]

I love this much Jake pitts

[@xalpha322]

Amazing video dude i love it!

[@xalpha322]

Those old songs sound soooo good played now with that setup

[@JakePitts]

yeah, I just redid all the production on it. haha, sounds way better when I have 100% control.

[@xalpha322]

Cool! thx for leaving a comment bck ;) i appreciate it

[@rubymedendorp1997]

Your Awesome Jake.

[@gutna6018]

can you share a link to download your kemper rig that used in your song called "in the end", thank you so much

[@sunbailiang8794]

I also need it

[@kyliekoons8502]

one day I hope I can be as skilled as you on guitar. you're my guitar inspiration (along with Jinxx)

[@MudskipperPoint]

Being able to get an insight on your life is very interesting, Jake :)! keep it up!

[@breadloaf8576]

To everyone who is saying *hey this is new religion or set the world on fire track* STOP This was originally a speed demo by jake, then used in a band named 60 Proof Riot (Six Six Six) Guilty pleasure is the name of the amp. Done, cleared up.

[@frankiesteinbiersackstanle4544]

great vídeo jake

[@tatiturtle]

Love how you are wearing a Parkway Drive tank. XD I love em both.

[@phantomvarro5986]

Hey jake will black veil brides ever make a 7 string song?

[@JakeBailes]

I cant see it happening.personally. they work the tuning around Andy's voice and a 7 string would be unnecessary

[@thedapperllama6579]

Sounds great man, could you possibly do a tutorial on basic home recording/tracking for guitar? I am getting an audio interface soon and would like some tips.

[@abbievesey5393]

Sick! Are you gonna show us a little bit of guitar from BVB5?

[@taylorosgood2704]

There was a video posted about a month or two ago of Jake and Jinxx playing a new song from BVB5 called Pulverizer. It doesn't have any vocals though

[@KnightSword500]

I don't think it was from BVB 5, pretty sure it was just unreleased, since Jake and Jinxx wrote it years ago.

[@taylorosgood2704]

+KnightSword 500 I'll have to look more into it but I believe it's from BVB5..

[@abbievesey5393]

I saw a teaser but I can't wait for a full song! I watched the Pulverizer video and I was mind-blow. I don't really pay attention to single instruments because they are all harmonised and it's hard to tell, but when I watched that, they were killing it.

[@taylorosgood2704]

I just read the AP thing for "Pulverizer" and they said it has not been released yet, but it sounds like they are going to be putting it on the new album

[@Christ_l0v3s_you]

Sounds like perfect weapon

[@aurymaycry7784]

this sounds like New Religion

[@rosecouch8642]

bvb_in_reverse123 _ it is lol

[@aurymaycry7784]

Oh thanks 😂

[@JakePitts]

Not true. I wrote the song by myself and called the original demo "speed bomb" Guilty Pleasure is the name of the JST amp plugin

[@aurymaycry7784]

Oh it sounds awesome bro, proud of you 👍👌

[@hazenstribling2646]

to whom are you talking? did he/she delete a comment?

[@tylernoice8770]

But, like, when's the guitar coming out?

[@TheEndfieldgaming]

Wish I was as good as you bro this is insane keep it up man ;P

[@RobKingRC]

Sweet song Brotha....Killer Tone...

[@kusangxander465]

Oh wow that's cool can't believed that you reply my comment oh, wow thanks Jake keep on rocking you're my favourite guitarist👍😃

[@LucyMayhemMusic]

Jesus fuck how are you so good I'm learning and jesus christ damn I aspire to be as good as you one day at guitar. also your kinda the reason i picked up a guitar so thank you.

[@JakePitts]

awesome, keep it up!

[@dibujandoando8184]

awesome man!,when you make new videos of guitar lessons, you could make one of the song love is not always fair?

[@Baphometamine]

When will the winner of your guitar give away be released? Also great video I actually learnt something

[@spencermccarty3382]

Could you please make a video on pedals? I don't know what to use at all and haven't messed with them yet. Thanks

[@undoingruin4203]

I'm not a huge fan of Black Veil Brides, don't hate them just not my kind of band, but you and Jinx are great guitarists and I always dig your videos. Also, do you like ESP guitars? Btw sick Parkway Drive shirt

[@Wolfoe-ex2jj]

Hi Jake, do think it is more efficient to use a pick or not?

[@hazenstribling2646]

Jinxx would downpick everything lol

[@JakePitts]

Yeah, he did when I first showed him this riff and he had a hard time keeping up haha

[@hazenstribling2646]

hah

[@logancabianca5432]

I dont blame him. Hes probably good at alternate picking too but I like downpicking only way more too

[@RachelIan]

Jake wearing a parkway drive band shirt. So cool !

[@Xurxo966]

It could be awesome that you explain the differences between active and passive pickups

[@gaz8003]

Active pickups has a preamp thus it usually requires a battrey. For me personally I find it better suited for rhythm as it gives a richer distortion. Passive pickups are better for clean guitars and soloing as it gives clear solid tone.

[@vilatoiralu5640]

The strokes are Awesome........ Every Music too Soothing for the ears.... With Love from a state called Nagaland situated in India... BVB should come and do shows here........ It will be Second Heaven... Assured..

[@mixeandoconcarls5445]

awesome jake! are you going to make a lesson of the new song "The Outsider"?

[@suy-suy]

This really sounds like new religion

[@lindseytaylor3793]

Jentl Suy because it is lol

[@VelinSevven]

@@lindseytaylor3793 This song is called "Speed Bomb" lol

[@Manoj_Galle]

This Schecter looks badass!

[@stebantheboy9168]

JakePittsBVB use as controller midi Tone Forge??

[@TommyVarekai]

will you be at Namm? also how does one gain entry to Namm like me if you aint some superstar shredder or something!? cheers

[@triggerpoolgaminghd5161]

Representing Parkway Drive, I like it, from Melbourne myself, you are incredible ❤️

[@yoshiki.g1450]

Which string and of which guage are you using Jake? Great vid.

[@Uscatu]

Nice , now i learn Perfect Weapon song :D

[@JrAccessDenied]

TheIceFury ...but he's playing New Religion.

[@Uscatu]

I think bro

[@JrAccessDenied]

I'm positive. He's playing it drop C like they do live instead of drop C# (D Flat) like it is on the album. I can play this one and typically play it in drop C. So I'm definitely positive it's New Religion. haha.

[@richardtoth7240]

Is this emg 81 or 81x in the bridge? I'm planing to cover more of your songs but i didnt get that sound what you have :/ Oh and yeah learning to mix :D I'm still aweful XD Im just like sitting there and trying to understand what you just doing.. XD thx for the new vids! Always help a lot when you talking aboute guitar stuff! :)

[@JakePitts]

My guitars have 81's in the bridge. their isn't enough of a difference between the 81 and 81x to make a noticeable difference in the mix. You have to take into account your tone comes mostly from the players hands. other major factors are quality of guitar, pickups, new strings, cables, ect. Mixing is a different animal. You have to learn to understand how everything works together. Sometimes people might think they have a badass guitar tone, but when you hear it in the mix, it sounds terrible. It takes years of practice, and trial and error. Just keep at it and you will get better and better.

[@richardtoth7240]

thx for the advice and I'll do so! :D

[@alyita]

Jake, podrian venir con Black Veil Brides a Uruguay porfavor soy su fan numero 1 😭 y yo se que nunca pos podre conocer en persona pero quiero que vengan a Uruguay y tal vez mi madre me compre una entrada lara el concierto ,pero solo si vienen por que si no vienen , ¿A que concierto iré?😂 Este es el mayor deseso de una de sus mayores fans ... espero que leas mi comentario , te quiero mucho 👍

[@619grajeda619]

Hey Jake. What is the program you use to record the instrumentals in both if your bands?

[@shandyaubry3713]

i love so much your guitar jake 😍 just want the same!!!🤘

[@leyosalvaje.4438]

Jake! some day you gonna let me play some songs in the stage on mexico with you!???

[@ItsLomain]

I just notice you got the Synester Gates picking hand technique. With all fingers in while strumming and while single notes you keep all fingers in but you pinky which rest on the guitar.

[@JakePitts]

haha, yeah I didn't do it on purpose, just happened to adapt the same technique i guess

[@cristhiangomez6442]

Nice video !!!

[@austinwendler6716]

Still wondering when your new schecter E-1 guitar will be available for purchase

[@JakePitts]

I believe it will be out beginning of 2017 now.

[@austinwendler6716]

Cool! good to know, thanks Jake.

[@owenfrench2281]

is this a stand alone plugin? or would I need another software to make it work?

[@SlimVans]

Hey man! What string's gauge are you using for drop C tuning ? Thanks a lot for your awesome videos, you're such a nice guy! cheers , dude! =)

[@JakePitts]

10-52 but instead of 52 on the low C I use a 54 or 56

[@zepedamaurisiomz]

JakePittsBVB string brand??

[@bendrowned2789]

I'm never going to be this good...

[@hiramabad3168]

Hey Jake It affects brand guitar?

[@JakePitts]

Everything affects tone. Guitar, Pickups, new vs old strings, the players hands... But really the most important part is the cabinet and speaker w/ mic placement. Most people think all the tone comes from an amp, but really most high gain amps sounds very similar. It's a great cab and speaker combo that gives you some killer tone

[@jbaza9737]

So would you recommend spending the money on the cab rather than the head? And do you have recommendations for either?

[@jjslosttrain1461]

Is Black Veil Brides touring 2017? If yes, PLEASE come to Indianapolis, IN. We MISS YOU GYS!!!!

[@evan_gori]

Hey Jake, when does the new Black Veil Brides album release?

[@JakePitts]

[@janikosenados3809]

JakePittsBVB Yo Jake have some tipps on how to get extra good on guitar in the shortest period of time as possible. cause someone keeps on boasting on me that thay are better and im a worthless piece of shit. Ive been really pissed cause ive burnt my ass in practicing guitar everyday and someone just gives that shit to me. pls help me Jake

[@andrewbeaudin8891]

what software do you use to record your guitar?

[@JakePitts]

Pro Tools

[@andrewbeaudin8891]

[@pri.noodlez]

Jake where are you gonna announce the winner for the guitar

[@JakePitts]

contest goes until Nov 30th

[@chrissyhomegardendiy]

Happy Thanksgiving

[@Vaidizzz123]

Jake , Please make a video how to install EMG's on a schecter C1 shape. or any other guitar.

[@williamdavid380]

I've been thinking of getting the "Guilty Pleasure" plug in. I'm not too sure though, it seems like the only good thing is putting your own inpulse response.

[@JakePitts]

I put custom own hammer impulse responses on the plugin and it didn't sound as good. Im friends with Joey Sturgis and we talked about this plugin, and they spend the most time on their cab impulses in the plugin. These two cabs sound amazing. In this video I'm using the Mesa 4x12 impulse with the condenser mic.

[@kira._.4267]

I started singing lyrics 😂😂😂😂

[@neo.0420]

when will be the giveaway?

[@tomatoboy1896]
