Justin Shekoski from Saosin, "Collapse" Guitar Lesson

[@xplayer17]

There's nothing cooler then a band member playing the song he created. dude your awesome.

[@nyjets2020]

+Pain couldnt agree more

[@voidvoidvoid7274]

Definitely 😏🤘

[@DUTCHswift]

As a huge Saosin fan, I just want to say you're going to be sorely missed by me. I know you're on to bigger better things, but your style of playing was a huge part of that band. my favorite memory was when you guys were touring with UØ and Tim was home sick so you stepped up and played their whole set as a stand in. My two favorite bands and you blended them together. So awesome.

[@HiMyNameIsJonathan]

Around 2008 right? I was at that tour in SF...so sick.

[@clonecommando-cn6bo]

I don’t under why they didn’t give you a Grammy for this awesome song, glad to have found it on burnout paradise

[@donmerguez6014]

I was a poor boy, I struggled to go to school, struggled with myself, my father did what he could for my family. I was always wondering why does this happen to us? Then one day, one of my friend lent me his psp, and I discovered this song while playing MX VS Atv. I don't know why because I could understand the lyrics and the meaning of the song even though i was 7 years old and not speaking english. I could recognize myself in this music. You guys gave me hope. I'm so thankful for what you did. May God bless you guys😇🙏🏼

[@neptules]

yo bro how are you nowadays?

[@hansolzy]

ive been playing 5 years and i took a few monthes break and now this is tricky. saosin riffs are tricky

[@tooruoikawa8985]

Justin was definitely a full decade ahead of his peers with his lessons. still love these videos to this day can always improve. great content.

[@michaelsantos5808]

God 10:57 -11:05 sounds so majestic

[@Yazawo]

its awesome that this guy actually takes the time to personally teach people how to play the songs he plays. Thank you

[@AdityaMukti4625]

My God, i watch this in 2016. I'm a huge fan of Saosin

[@mrzackattack261]

+Aditya Mukti - He left Saosin to join the Used about a year ago.

[@AdityaMukti4625]

***** really? how about anthony green? he comes back to saosin but justin then left

[@mrzackattack261]

Yes Anthony Green is officially back in the band, they have a new album coming out this year, i believe their first single was released a week ago.

[@AdityaMukti4625]

so whether justin move to The Used as tour member or totally move and leave Saosin?

[@mrzackattack261]

I think he became a full time member but i'm not sure, i heard he was working in other projects, so couldn't find the time to be in Saosin, which is quite a shame but oh well. Their former singer Cove is from my area in California, which is pretty cool lol

[@Bilsuburbians]

Justin. Thank you for your inspirational riff in Saosin back then. You are filling the gap in that band, we miss you in saosin. Will wait for you to come back and reunion

[@TSNNH]

one of the very best and most inspiring musicians - on and off stage - to me!!!!!!!

[@sawyer4981]

I wish more artists would do this. I love it when people share their music for all to enjoy!

[@auleeachandra4211]

Missing this dude in SAOSIN. He was the real talent of the band. You're 1 of the best guitarist from 2000s era, Justin!🤘🎸🖤🎵

[@ColonelCampbellAI2024]

Considering the pleasant skill of all the members, that seems vaguely disrespectful.

[@eduardonunez4377]

Col Campbell AI 2024 she was kissing ass in hopes of attention

[@aperfecttool257]

@@ColonelCampbellAI2024 They aren't that good. Seriously, Soasin is a lolcow of a band. Justin clearly had the most technical proficiency. And Anthony Green should have just ended it all after rejoining.

[@westpapua8941]

R u indonesian?

[@jihamiya5755]

@@ColonelCampbellAI2024 Disrespectful? Maybe. False? Nope. Justin was the most talented person in the band, hands down. The drummer was great too, can't say the same for the rest.

[@spridle]

Justin, you're a legend. Wish we could hear from you.

[@thebulldogshowgaming]

I love this song on MX vs ATV untamed ps2

[@thisiskal6267]

nostalgia

[@cckiller0053]

It was on PS2?!

[@youngtevanced8818]

What I like in this genre is the variety and technicality of riffs in a single verse of song,

[@Dexmente]

Not only Justin, the whole band is underrated.

[@Κύριεἐλέησον-υ4δ]

Time flies, but I still love this video and also love Saosin

[@SovietBearBoxing]

I met Justin in 2006 at a show in NYC before they got on their tour bus. Nicest guy ive ever met.

[@Rockyrodents]

please come back to saosin

[@somecrazyyrunner]

he's a very under rated player. he's extremely talented

[@MrKhearastic]

i miss this guy.. and that crazy alex wish u have a channel to kept us updated

[@spybeef]

Really amazing that you would take the time to make such a video, RESPECT!

[@messynate]

One of the best songs ever

[@itprog7585]

Come back to saosin sir!! anthony green and sound of guitar from you is very match.. come on!!

[@TheKofiKid99]

Hardest song I've ever tried to learn! Thank You!!!

[@desmondgorosi4007]

Love this, so nice 🔥🔥🔥

[@rockerbander1]

beautiful set up by the way

[@farifairis7388]

2022.. still a fan of Saosin..

[@nogrecords]

2024, just saw Saosin last week! Still my favorite band!

[@Holybeer]

damn this guy is good.

[@GlockenspielSAS]

2011, wow, I´m old. Great editing, btw!

[@Chedonia]

no days without saosin .\m/.

[@chickenslips]

Follow and Feel is definitely my favorite song by them

[@JamesGaoist]

Legendary riff

[@blackry]

I don't know anything about playing guitar but its a blast to watch you play. Keep rocking dude.

[@HiTechShawn]

Just after 9:30 look over his right shoulder (picking hand side)...nice little ghostly orb there lol...for those who believe that is. Nice quick tutorial brotha! Miss you guys! Keep the dream alive!

[@TheMentalWeapon]

one of the best 12mins of my life

[@soysaucehairdye7869]

haha I just noticed that Justin's guitar says "Listen to Bill Hicks." Haha I am a huge Bill Hicks fan and seeing that on his guitar made my day.

[@petrucciphan]

I think justin's hooks are what turned me on to the band the most, that and cove's ridiculous vocal range :)!!!!!!!!

[@nogrecords]

Same here brutha

[@TsReDLiNe]

This song is amazingly fun to play. You play the guitar extremely well Justin. Love that Ibanez too. Gonna get me a RG prestige some day for sure. Keep rockin Saosin! You guys are amazing!

[@ratef42]

wow major props justin, thanks a lot.

[@daguerro88]

Awesome stuff Justin!

[@TheUrzur]

thats really amazing. great video.

[@fred8453]

you rock! saosin is my idol band since i was 10.. i like the music trend of u guys... :D

[@AliveInBarcelona]

So stoked about this video! Been writing out of inspiration from this record recently!

[@timothycayem]

After hearing great songs from three different front men I have come to realize that justin and beau have a huge impact on the band. chris and alex too:)

[@somecrazyyrunner]

also, the chorus harmonics are very similar to that of the chorus their song Seven Years

[@thejewcanoe1]

Love the riffs! You guys rock. I really hope you read this. Get Alex on here to show us the drums too. That would be super awesome

[@manilamaestro]

you are an incredible guitarist :)

[@cnlchf]

The brief moment at 11:02 where the harmony is heard without the loud (nonetheless impressive) drum part is pretty awesome.

[@Heatheretts]

time to re-learn the song the right way now...thnx sooo much

[@1687rlopez]

more lessons, please? I request "its far better to learn" (mostly for the intro/verse riff - for your and beau's parts) please? 😊

[@szpaqus]

I don't need Saosin now! I just want to listen how Justin is playing his guitar. His hands are dancing! I'm in love... xD

[@anthonymarra423]

this is great, ive been trying to learn this for too long, i almost gave up... till i found this. can you please make a video on how to play the instrumental version of its far better to learn.. by far my favorite song ever

[@PeanutButterGtr]

OMG Beau should post lessons as well!!! And you should BOTH do a 'Voices' lesson as well... together. :D

[@yeahdude1]

@SweetAngie143 What you're looking for is a 5 on the G string.

[@pressureflipin1992]

I hope this dude gets the help he needs

[@Cowbowbebop312]

what happened to him exactly? I genuinely don't know.

[@chanatipsmith505]

FC From Thailand ❤

[@vJDiZZ]

At 8:25 are those pinch harmonics on the 7th fret 2nd string and the following notes?

[@Lsntobillhicks]

No, all natural harmonics. :)

[@vJDiZZ]

+justin shekoski Thanks! A friend of mine just showed me how those work. :D

[@moshpitmaddog630]

justin shekoski Who was the bass player in saosin and i would like some bass lessons on collapse

[@baobaoloveful]

@Sum41kills it's an Ibanez RG. Probably the 350MZ model :D

[@callumplaysguitar2794]

Thanks man this is awesome :) now I can play collapse off by heart :)

2023 move to 2024 , im always u'r fans from indonesia dude ♥️ , not saosin but its you.. yeah im fans justin

[@wolvesandguitars]

Can I get your Silverburst ?? and its amazing how you gave Skype lessons 10 years ago and its relevant today as a mainstay.

[@galiddnomyar]

Good song choice!

[@TheShimmmy]

I have never heard someone say that Saosin wasn't talented...

[@Ivorinth]

Yeah it does

[@riks27]

I nearly cried watching this =']

[@jtotheroc]

Justin will always be the better of the two guitarists. At least he was there for the Saosin reunion.

[@JeanPiaqeT]

i want to listen collapse now

[@darklava21]

Does anyone know how im suppose to make the amplifier sound? i just cant get the same sound

[@sirgreggins8824]

please do one for "it's far better to learn"

[@awesomevideos5757]

does he still do lesson?

[@romonaor]

2019 here

[@ground41]

what song that the video played at the ending?

[@calebwebb1981]

In OKC, I hear it a lot. Their genre isn't, 'popular' or 'accepted'. It's mainly rapper's, R&B, and Country, that are listened to, here.

[@DanD3vil]

Will you make a 'how to do a guitar spin' tutorial? (:

[@thisisyaren]

anyone can tell me what gear he has in that rack? I know 1 is a mesa amp and the other a line 6 unit and also a fractial.. whats the others?

[@michaelbones9358]

What make and model is he rocking in this video?

[@Cicada2010]

what effects are being used?

[@omenkloud500]

Never seen a band do this, really cool. Is there any reason you guys blocked all your tabs on ultimate guitar though? :[

[@ColonelCampbellAI2024]

Where did this style go? 😭😭😭

[@taggie2457]

To the 2000's.. I miss it too

[@raychenbjjold]

TTHANK YOU SO MUCHHH!

[@nyjets2020]

this is so fucking cool

[@That_Dude_Carl]

"Listen to Bill Hicks" - FUCK YEA!

[@messynate]

I’m really trying to learn this but it seems he s missing a note at 3:40?? (Like added without telling us

[@snivage]

What's the ending song?

[@brad9772]

The song's name is move slow. If you're still interested kzbin.info/www/bejne/fH6xaGV4p9FgnZYsi=8ucR8fa6-_PSx7ov

[@galiddnomyar]

Hey Justin! What kind if pickups do you use??

[@Mariooo57]

all but I Never Wanted To which is in Drop C and Bury Your Head which is in Db Standard

[@notchristiant]

Is alex going to do lessons? Or Skype and stuff?

[@TheBrianna4555]

He's using a $2400 unit, so best of luck getting his tone. Your best bet is just cranking the gain with the bass at 6, the mids at 7 and the treble at 7.
