Such a fun easy riff, just got into intervals and so far they're amazing

[@kelseysmith8875]

Great lesson, G. Thanks for sharing 👊🏼🙏🏼🤘🏼

[@m.sav8862]

Most people will just play and slow it down for ya. You are a great teacher my man. You explain everything how everyone should, which is breaking it into sections. The muscle memory is really easy to pick up with your explanations. Much

[@chicken6111]

Thanks very much man! Appreciate the words 😊

[@billyd5749]

Love this song and you play it perfectly. Thanks for the great explanation. Those chords sounds so awesome

[@voidlexis]

Man you never fail to deliver! Amazing work and tasty tone :)

[@drummer_zay9493]

Amazing tutorial bro, just learned this on acoustic since I don’t have access to my guitar amp rn 😬 I have the same guitar but in the pink finish 😮‍💨 they’re so niceee thanks again man

[@AshleyShafty]

[@yamitanomura]

Thanks for the tutorial... I really learn it, and now.. more practice ;)

[@spotted556]

yeah! Do more Intervals wonderful riffs! Really love it....😎

[@nairanvac79]

Thank you for this video! Your tone sounds identical to the one on the album. Which pickup position are you using on your guitar?

[@khanindranath8674]

I learned it really fast. Thanks to your awesome tutorial! 🔥

Godsend, thanks. Aaron really writes the tastiest lines

[@savagesalmon1889]

Great job!

[@brandoagusti7288]

How do you know that it's in drop D? The covers I've seen play it in standard since it is pretty much the same.

[@chicken6111]

The chord shapes and fingerings in the official playthrough demonstrate that it's in drop D. The "breakdown" riff later on utilises an Eb, which wouldn't be possible on a standard tuned guitar. It's also perfectly reasonable for someone to cover the song in standard or Eb standard, I've done covers in different tunings myself! However people want to interpret the music is up to them :) but I am fairly confident I've accurately pegged it as drop D.

[@brandoagusti7288]

@@chicken6111 Oh, I didn't know that there was a Eb after that. I had been playing this part in the standard "stack of fifths" position. Thanks for the riff tutorial and the info!

sick, its been an hour i can play it rough, gotta work on the slides and overall smoothness now, THANKS

[@sabianhhxevolution]

You god you. Short and extremely well explained. Any plans to do String Theory riffs or more from this song?

[@ajohnhayes]

Thank you so much for this! I love the intro perhaps the most out of the whole song, and I can't wait to learn it! Could you give any tips on replicating your tone in this video? It's awesome - if you told me it was the album track, I'd believe it.

[@chicken6111]

Thanks! I'm playing direct through a Yamaha THR5. I use the bridge pickup on my guitar, with a 60%(ish) gain on. Low gain is the key.

[@ajohnhayes]

@@chicken6111 Awesome! Thank you for the response. Do you have any reverbs/delays/chorus on there at all?

[@chicken6111]

@@ajohnhayes yea a tiny bit of reverb, that's all 😊

[@chrisplaysdrums09]

Great stuff man, thanks for the upload. Wish my pinky was longer though, that opening chord is wonkyyyy.

[@XxRobert95xX]

How can i achieve a similar tone with my spark amp?

[@chicken6111]

I don’t know what a spark amp is, but my only suggestion is lower the gain, use a bridge pickup, maybe boost the low mids slightly

[@MikeLozanoGuitar]

Nice guitar! did you replace the pickups?

[@chicken6111]

nope! these are the stock pickups, they rule
