[@rpguitarvideos]

+Joey Attaway Thanks Joey!

[@cooltunesmadeeasy]

Agreed

[@Kawinj]

Perfect tutorial. Thank you, been wanting to learn this for a while now and was struggling with a few things. Slowing the video down to half speed made all the difference.

[@rpguitarvideos]

Thanks AJ, glad to help out. Great song imo

[@BoiseG]

Excellent instructions. I like how you go over a part and then break it down by playing it through slowly. Very nice. Thank you for sharing!

[@rpguitarvideos]

Thanks a lot and you're welcome! I do my best to try and get all the info out there about the song the best way I could come up with!

[@rpguitarvideos]

Thanks again Mark, I appreciate the compliment and support!

You've got the best lessons on the web! Thank you so much!

[@rpguitarvideos]

Djen djen Hey thank you so much!!

[@Soviless99]

the beginning is tough for a newbie like me. right now it doesnt sound smooth at all and i checked severaltimes to make sure i wasnt missing a note. all those notes in succession blend to make like a single sound.

[@rpguitarvideos]

+Soviless99 I hear ya it's a tricky little run and it took me a long time to get it smooth.

[@foxontherun4754]

I hope you stuck with it. What an absolute master piece this song is. For me the real magic lies in Laynes words. The way he delivers them over the chords.

[@stlgolfer]

Ryan glad to have you back man! Your lessons are by far the best on KZbin. Great song, outstanding lesson, keep it up!

[@rpguitarvideos]

Joe Haner Thanks Joe, I hope to get more lessons out sooner than later!!

[@bvetter3]

rpguitarvideos Is 'I stay away' a possible upcoming lesson?

[@AllTheCoolNamesAreTaken84]

Man, I love this song and your lesson was very clear and helpful. Thanks!! By the way, how do you get your guitar to sound so perfect for this song?!

[@rpguitarvideos]

+Ryan Haydon Thanks so much!! I played it live and just used my JCM2000 on the clean channel and I think I added a Line 6 M9 compressor effect. I should write the settings down cause I can never completely remember.

[@jeffreyschmoldt7798]

[@akaperry5626]

Nice lesson ;)

[@rpguitarvideos]

Peroni Beer Thanks!

[@MADguitar]

thx for lesson!!

[@rpguitarvideos]

Thanks for viewing!

[@1siddartha]

Dude, has the floyd rose changed anything in terms of tone and sustain on your Gibson? I've been thinking about the same thing for a while and would appreciate any information. Thanks for the cool video!

[@rpguitarvideos]

For me personally this is best guitar one could ever buy. Adding brass and titanium parts will help with the tone but for me I'll take the slight tone loss "if there really is any" for what this guitar offers.

[@E-Chap]

Dude where ya been?!

[@rpguitarvideos]

+Agent 00Awesome MIA! I know I havent been able to find the time to get more lessons out, sorry and thanks for checking in!!!

[@philbarrows424]

Great Chime My Man!! Did you have to rout to make the d tuna work? Or was it a bolt-on Is the d tuna your homage to Eddie ;-) I'm working on the River!! Thanks for the great lesson You are the only one who does it correctly 👍🏻

[@rpguitarvideos]

Thanks a lot and no it actually fit as is! It's a pretty easy install as long as there is proper clearance. I like it because playing covers its makes going to Drop D a breeze!! One of the best upgrades to a floyd rose IMO!

[@philbarrows424]

1 last question (I promise ;-) Is your guitar a Gibby or an Axcess brand Looks like a Gibson by what I can see of the headstock I looked it up and couldn't find the model You mentioned

[@rpguitarvideos]

No worries its a Gibson Les Paul Axcess custom, if you google it should come right up. They even sell them on musicians friend.

[@michael-hk1sh]

Im here because Layne 🤘🎸😎🎧🎵❤️

[@rpguitarvideos]

He was great

[@michael-hk1sh]

@rpguitarvideos he definitely was one of the greats 🤘😎🎸🎵and thank you for a brilliant lesson 👍💯

[@danialmr5960]

Thanks

[@rpguitarvideos]

You're welcome!

[@alienxyt]

Freaking awesome bro!!

[@rpguitarvideos]

+alienxyt Thanks!

[@justfine77777]

For the love of god! A Les Paul with a Floyd Rose and a D-Tuna. 🤦🏻‍♂️. Just kidding! Great work on a great song my friend. 🤘🏽

[@rpguitarvideos]

Its the only way to go imo! Thanks!

[@jonathonvickers8171]

Great tutorial, what kind of amp setup did you have here?

[@rpguitarvideos]

Thanks Jonathon! I hate to say but I can't completely remember what I used. You might be able to find the answer digging through previous comments on this video. It might have been my Marshall JCM2000 with a 2x12 cab.

[@jeffrice654]

Sorry if you've already answered this, but what Amp setup are you using?

[@rpguitarvideos]

Jeff Rice Hey Jeff I hate to say it but I don't totally remember. I think I used my Marshall JCM2000 on the clean (green) channel with an added effect from a Line 6 M9.

[@XxStonedImmaculatexX]

Very nice tone. Sounds a bit sharper than the original song but still sounds very good!

[@rpguitarvideos]

Thanks, and ya the original is 1/4 step off. I wasn't going to match the original recording tuning to make things confusing.

[@MrSchmerzen98]

You fucking rock dude

[@rpguitarvideos]

MrSchmerzen98 Thanks!

[@philbarrows424]

Hi Ryan, I didn't want to ask for fear that you've been asked a 1000 X's, but I scrolled and did t see it What Model and Year is your Les Paul, you don't see an LP with a D-Tuner and locking nut everyday ;-) It's a great tome you have there. I've never heard a LP neck pickup with that twangy thing going on!! PS Cool ink!!

[@rpguitarvideos]

Thanks Phil, and I don't think it's been asked much. Its a 2012 Les Paul Custom Axcess. Its a great guitar for sure, and I added on the D Tuna and other various parts from FU-Tone.com

[@pepo6ka]

Yess!! You rock!

[@rpguitarvideos]

pepo6ka Thanks!

[@damienhughes1996]

Damn it's so hard I even went to a lil kids guitar lesson and I swear this kid was like hendrix Cantrell and Van Halen combined I'm like wtf and put the guitar down and went outside to smoke a butt like wow.

[@rpguitarvideos]

It takes time Damien, stick with it and be patient.

[@garn1177]

Wicked!!!

[@rpguitarvideos]

garn1177 Thanks!

[@PaulJones-bo8gt]

Wicked thank you

[@rpguitarvideos]

Thank you Paul!

[@michaelphillis5381]

McCreedy is a master riff writer

[@rpguitarvideos]

Definitely!!!

[@jacktraver7264]

I’m six years late, but great job

[@rpguitarvideos]

Better late then never, thanks Jack!

[@MofosRealReviews]

Can you do nickelback this means war or lamb of god desolation

[@rpguitarvideos]

I can look into the nickelback as a future lesson but I doubt I can pull of a lamb of god lesson. Too many guitar parts to cover.

[@MofosRealReviews]

True. That's why I came to you haha, LoG is tough to play and learn. This means war is very low tuning I can't find any video lessons on it so if you do it that'd be great. Also I see you like Volbeat so dead but rising would be a good one also :)

[@rpguitarvideos]

ItaLyZPlaYa1 That's cool I'll look around for you and like I said those serious metal songs are tough to pull of, it would prob have to be a 10 part lesson! I'll check out that Volbeat song, there songs are more manageable usually.

[@rpguitarvideos]

rpguitarvideos There's actually a lesson for Desolation here on youtube. I'm not sure if it's right but it might start you in the right direction.

[@somwelll]

Jezz, dude - nice job but you should add a cilck especially in the intro - i beliewie thats the only part that my be confusing to learn - regards anyway ;)

[@rpguitarvideos]

Hey thanks and I'll look into that in the future

[@tylerbarnes137]

4:14

[@jefflwadfordjr.1128]

Nice guitar. We are the same on the tats. Most people get tats on their forearms first. We started under our shirts first.

[@rpguitarvideos]

For sure!

[@kzpylj7729]

Is anyone else looking for the song that madseason plays in alot of his videos

[@rpguitarvideos]

Which song??

[@8MJfan8]

Variates.

[@rpguitarvideos]

sure does!

[@michaelyasho8562]

Thank you. I didn’t want to be that guy.

[@Dirt_baggerKP]

Yes!!!

[@michaelczesnozki1671]

Please tell me you didn't drill that Les Paul and that's a special edition Les Paul. Not that I mind its just. Why drill a Gibson. It was distracting me. I'm sorry even if you did, I got to know did it come like that or did you drill for it.

[@rpguitarvideos]

It's a Les Paul Axcess and that how they come from the Custom shop.

[@lmc4223]

Thx

[@rpguitarvideos]

You're welcome!

[@northmanlogging2769]

I remember learning this from Guitar World magazine... 20+ years ago, trying to remember it now... anyway that Les Paul gives me hives... I'm sure you like it, and its yours, but... achk...

[@rpguitarvideos]

hey thats cool

[@ItzRain420]

am i the only who just can’t get the riff to sound like the song man

[@rpguitarvideos]

I think this song takes a little practice to get it to sound smooth.

[@martymcbride3234]

😮
