[@PostJuly]

I am literally in love with this solo. I just can't stop playing it!

[@elirose9712]

This is the best guitar tutorial video I've seen so far! Great job dude!

[@gabe_teaches_guitar]

Thanks man, happy to help!

[@alexsanderpalmore5443]

Great lesson Gabe. Thank you.

[@sobellfanatic]

Saw Matt play this last night and determined to learn it; so tasteful and yours is a GREAT tutorial. Tx for taking the time to put it up.

[@jasonbhamlin]

So I was thinking "I want to learn that madness solo, and I bet my old guitar teacher would be good at that." Low and behold, Gabe is here with an awesome tutorial. I should really go back to lessons. Thanks, Gabe.

[@gabe_teaches_guitar]

+Jason Hamlin Ha! Thanks Jason! Thanks for "finding" me again. :)

[@JGCSRT]

First cover of this solo that actually sounds accurate. Nice job.

[@rudyramirezjr2309]

You are awesome for doing this!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Very thorough with the fret and string numbers, easy to follow.

[@termiteking3014]

i constantly thank god for you and your videos

[@gabe_teaches_guitar]

+termiteking Thanks! Happy to help. :)

[@decembertrott8566]

This helped me so much. I'm happy I was able to pick up on this at the pace you were teaching. Thanks dude! This is my favorite band ^_^

[@gabe_teaches_guitar]

You're very welcome!

[@Posidon08]

This song is great and the solo the first time gave me chills. Been trying to hash it out on my own but you def. got a subscriber outta me man. Keep it GOING!!!!!

[@CoinGYPSY]

I love love looooove this tutorial! Thank you!!!

[@gabe_teaches_guitar]

Thanks! Appreciate the feedback and I'm glad I could help.

[@kinjari]

Great job! I wanted to learn this as soon as I heard it - thanks!!!

[@gabe_teaches_guitar]

Yeah, I'm alternate picking that whole part. I've watched Matthew play it on a few videos and it looks like he alternate picks it too. That's why it's a little tricky. You can get away with doing some hammer-ons with the first 2 notes, or you could hybrid pick it, and you use your middle finger to pluck the last pitch in each group of three.

[@cadplayer5852]

Man, I remember when I was about 5 months into learning Guitar... I came here to learn it, and, well, it was to hard.. I come back now with 14 months experience and now, super easy! Thanks dude! :D

[@gabe_teaches_guitar]

Awesome John! Glad to hear you've stuck with it. Keep it going.

[@MrDokHolliday]

[@DrummingFuzz]

[@johnharbour3158]

Great video! thanks .

[@saraiochoaluna872]

Amazing!

[@gabe_teaches_guitar]

Thanks!

[@emmakoot01]

I'm only at the first note of the solo and my B-string just decided to SNAP... well, I guess that's just what Muse's music does...

[@izyfication]

Great job, thank you for sharing with us

[@gabe_teaches_guitar]

***** You're welcome!

[@yazmin32487]

Wow!!! Amazing!!!

[@gabe_teaches_guitar]

[@TheGizmo4040]

[@scorpio622]

Well done. Thanks!

[@gabe_teaches_guitar]

You're welcome!

You're welcome. Glad I can help.

[@gabe_teaches_guitar]

Thanks! Glad I can help.

[@IamMusicSauce]

Thanks a lot! Awesome tutorial :D

[@gabe_teaches_guitar]

You're very welcome!

[@leifhansen]

thanks mang that was perfect!

[@gabe_teaches_guitar]

It might take you some time to get it up to tempo, but it should be doable for a beginner. It is possible to play on acoustic, if you have a cut-away body to access the higher frets. The bends might be tricky on an acoustic too, but you can slide instead to get the same note. Just be patient, and you'll have it down in no time.

[@DSKim-ej5uf]

잘보았습니다.

[@mkSkillor]

Good Tutorial!

[@Bruce33385]

Thank u Jesus Cristh amen

[@gabe_teaches_guitar]

Thanks! It's standard tuning.

[@tonyjoie5114]

Very good!! but for the sound ? A natural distortion/over drive , or u use a padale of disto Oo ???

[@gabe_teaches_guitar]

Hey! Thanks for the comment. I think he uses a "fuzz"-style distortion pedal.

[@adamscriven9682]

guitargabe79 I believe he favours the Z-Vex Fuzz Face

[@mikuvirus]

Great lesson thank you, but when i try to play this standing up, i can't reach the 18th fret, any suggestions?

[@gabe_teaches_guitar]

not sure if you ever figured this out, but, a lot of times, thumb placement is really important to get those stretches

[@GamingHatesMe]

Thank you very much.

[@nyahmenendez1978]

I cant thank you enough!!

[@gabe_teaches_guitar]

+Nyah Menendez No prob! Happy to help!

[@BadCompanyGaming]

Hey @guitargabe79 Great video, but I wonder if your picking up and down when you play the notes on the 12th and 13th frets?(because what I do is pick downward when playing those notes and I usually accidentally hit the wrong string, and I'm just wondering if I should pick upward and downward when playing those notes.)

[@gabe_teaches_guitar]

Hey, yeah I'm alternate picking the whole thing. If you watch around 3:50, I do it really slow and you can see my picking constantly going d u d u d u ....etc.

[@BadCompanyGaming]

Okay, what type of guitar pick would you use for alternate and speed picking?

[@gabe_teaches_guitar]

Bad Company173 Any heavy pick will do, but I like jazz picks - they're smaller, super heavy, have sharp tips, and are easy to control than your standard size picks - Dunlop Jazz III's are great.

[@BadCompanyGaming]

okay thanks

[@GroovesAndLands]

I'll bet Muse plays this in an alternate tuning to make it easier. That stretch to the 18th is really tough for most people to handle at the songs tempo.

[@gabe_teaches_guitar]

+GroovesAndLands I've watched him playing it live and he does the stretch.

[@LFiloktetes]

I can´t get the tone of the music with a fender tele and a frontman 15g amp! Anyone know if it´s possible and can give me an ideia of how?

[@trDewy]

Luis Filipe Ferreira maybe try middle pickup position, tone knob in the middle, treble and mid set to 10, bass set to 6, gain on 7 or 8, and volume knob on your guitar turned all the way up? That'll probably get you pretty close.

[@41ex4ndr0]

Hi! Very good tutorial, but I have one question. How to use the pick in the "tricky" part?? I mean, we play groups of 3 notes, do you use alternative picking?

[@gabe_teaches_guitar]

This is so old, but yeah, alternate picking. You could hybrid it.

[@dankmasterownz3449]

i wish i could pick

[@gabe_teaches_guitar]

thank you!

[@novembre1811]

Thank you! Very helpful :)

[@BulldogStudio]

Thanks. It was driving me a little nuts trying to figuring it out. Are they playing the live version a half step down?

[@gabe_teaches_guitar]

maybe, not sure

[@nicoledevera7305]

any tips for ppl that are having a difficult time trying to get the ending of the solo? mine turns out all choppy instead of fluid like the original song..

[@gabe_teaches_guitar]

this is so old, but break it into smaller chunks, gradually build speed on each chunk, and then try to put it back together. I hope you've figured it out since then!!!

[@gabe_teaches_guitar]

you're very welcome!

[@dodger4747]

quality 💪

[@stefanoinno3920]

Effects for guitar rig 5 ?

[@gabe_teaches_guitar]

Taylor inno Not sure exactly, but probably lots of Fuzz distortion and some chorus, possibly some other stuff, but those two should get you close.

[@faisalalkhalili3116]

my fingers are too small to do the part with the stretches :/ any alternatives??

[@gabe_teaches_guitar]

sorry, this is so old, maybe alternate tuning or tapping the highest notes ?!

[@gabe_teaches_guitar]

You're welcome!

[@JellyFicheable]

Hey great tutorial? what tuning is it in?

[@gabe_teaches_guitar]

thx! standard

[@HalvLion]

how to you make that sound? what is your amp setting? do you use any pedals or something?

[@gabe_teaches_guitar]

It was probably Guitar Rig 3 at the time, or something. Some fuzz pedal built in

[@doublecchris970]

The Tab for this can be found at Ultimate Guitar

[@Noshkanok]

[@gabe_teaches_guitar]

[@gabe_teaches_guitar]

Yeah, the live version is a half down.

[@gabe_teaches_guitar]

[@jareddesousa225]

[@gabe_teaches_guitar]

Samuel Bruno Thanks! Yes, yes, it is. :)

[@gabe_teaches_guitar]

guitargabe79 Ha! Yeah, that's what I was going for at the time, however, I now look more like a bearded Dweezil - hair got chopped off.

[@gabe_teaches_guitar]

You did notice that I have 2 hands, right? But, have you seen my parrot?

[@MadinbuuCrash]

Tabs? plis ;-; I'm Brazilian not understand you

[@gabe_teaches_guitar]

Sorry, no tabs, did it by ear. You can find tabs all over the net. Good luck!

[@MadinbuuCrash]

Ual took from you ear? You are very good, thanks anyway :)

[@metu201]

Great tutorial thanks, but your guitar sounds kinda dead, the sound is not bad it just needs to be turned up a bit

[@joshsanders931]
