Papa Roach's Jerry Horton: "Last Resort" Guitar Lesson

[@appacana]

One of the unforgettable riffs in rock. I would love to have that guitar in black.

[@O6kyp]

Jesus Christ gives the lesson

[@MRbubblegunner]

amen

[@arcticangel1628]

Everyone stealing Jesus’s hairstyle and beard.

[@scottyd2262]

This is a great start for people starting to learn guitar. Something different from power chords and great for starting your up/down picking. Plus it helps to strengthen your pinky finger. Excellent for loosening up your fingers. It stepped me up a level when l 1st started playing. Also the song totally rocks !

[@satch500]

The tone at 0:40 is insane. Beautiful.

[@greenerdays]

Exactly what I was thinking. Insane tone🥰

[@myfuneral6]

one of the best guitar players ever!!!

[@xxstarssokissablexx]

I fucking love the Schecter Tempest. That's my favourite guitar ever.

[@angelgibranriosbarba196]

Tanks for the lesson Jerry!🤟🏽

[@wardkdouglas]

"there's no more... Down there.." 😂😂

[@GuitarHeroMetalRival]

hes a legend. I like papa roach and jerry so much i bought his guitar :D

[@RalDal]

I own a gibson les paul, a fender stratocaster custom shop, and a schecter tempest. I bought the tempest out of impulse cause I always wanted a white guitar. Its now the best, most versatile guitar in my opinion. At least the custom version, with coil tapping. I added a black les paul pickguard and modded it a little bit

[@fbbc2]

that sound is awesome

[@xxJerryHortonIsLife]

Being a good musician isn't all based on your technical abilities. It has to do more with your feel for the song, where you are coming from, and what kind of soul you can bring to the song other than how many notes you can bring in.

[@Fl0d3r]

It's really a great riff & tone when you know all these bands at the time play in A standard, Drop C#, C or B. Something just impossible to do when you learn guitar. Jerry made so many killer riffs in Drop D.

[@NorthernRevival]

beautiful guitar

[@Str8Sulfer]

Love his guitar

[@MrCrakachris]

Man, That guitar sounds badass

[@LobsterClaus07]

I'm a subscriber. The videos don't go away from my subscribed list till I watch them, so I thought I'd put in my two cents while I'm wasting my time lol.

[@wilz373]

ow man i just love that sound !!

[@JerkyChid]

I never said anything about shredding. Some of my favorite songs have no shredding at all and some are filled with it. I was always more excited to see someone in Guitar World that was reknown for their skill and had something to teach. That meant, and still means, more to me than seeing one of my favorite bands in there. For example, if he turned this into a lesson on transcribing something from piano to guitar without the knowledge of sheet music then I would love to see the vid.

[@gbonephilly4010]

So many great songs were originally written on the piano

[@spudvader]

For all the people saying that Papa Roach stole this riff - I just listened to THE Maiden and yes they did but! A shit load of bands steal from other bands and they call them "influences", Led Zeppelin done it, Bob Dylan stole almost all of his songs, oasis done it... And for people shouting about they are just money chasers, C'mon. 99.99% of bands you see on TV or hear on the radio could go under the same umbrella because if they weren't then why are they signed to major labels, selling there music, get TV air time and have a business team? There is nothing wrong with making money and playing music, it's a job.... I want paid. Just don't be so narrow minded because they say "man, it's all about the music" (yeah, that's 2000$ for my appearance).

[@Joostgeurtskessel]

you should watch the vids about "everything is a remix" it shows really well how much everything is influenced by past creations of other bands, movies and inventions. Nothing is really a 100 % original anymore.

[@spudvader]

joost gvk Nothing is rarely ever original because people are influenced by things and then in evolves into something different, making it there own thing. How do you define something new? Is it something that has never been done before, like a new style or is it something that has never been heard before? It's crazy to think that there is more music WAITING to be discovered than there has ever been created in history... EVER.

[@jordanc6721]

joost gvk Their are only so many chord and note progressions possible in each key; their are so many songs everyone of these patters has to be taken by now. Even if this riff is influenced by somebody else, look at all the talent and creativity that went into turning it into what Papa Roach did. This is a really great song, and I really love what they did with it.

[@spudvader]

Jordan Conradt There is more completely new music that has never been heard before than there has been music created since the beginning of time. There is no reason for people to copy or even be influenced by any other music piece but humans are naturally influenced by others and that's why music will always sound similar to another piece. Also it's one thing to create a completely new genre of music but it's another thing to create something that a lot of people will like.

[@AngelMartinez-qs3cf]

Love the guitar, great lesson. What model is that, a Schecter? What model?

[@vandrik4450]

Schecter tempest custom

[@Daracon1010]

The Tempest is alright... I really like the Schecter C-1. I got a black one... it's so damn good. Sounds great, good to play... and looks awesome.

[@sebastal]

This was one of the first songs i ever learned, right next to Symphony Of Destruction & Under The Bridge

[@AkiraSpectrum]

sweet. love videos like this.

[@jugglerkkev]

you sir, just made my day!

[@in-sympathy-old]

damn, he's got really awesome sound there

[@Goncalo.Jesus1]

That guitar is awesome!

[@arcticangel1628]

Who wants to see Weird Al do a cover of “Last Resort”?

[@aido1987]

this tune also sounds awesome on an acoustic guitar

[@MusicMotivator]

Great- phat tone!

[@Erador]

Went from Mastodon's Divinations to this and it's astounding to see the difference in technicality. Always tough for me to decide if I wanna play really intricate things or really simple things when writing new material =P

[@Pittaz]

Being a Massive fan for a Long time now of Papa Roach this is really Awesome to watch! Jerry you shoud do more lessons for sure! -----CAN SOMEONE SMARTER THEN ME PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TYPE OF GUITAR IS BEING USED FOR THIS VIDEO------ Thank you!

[@bakerhalt]

If you're still wondering 10 years later, it's a Schecter jerry horton hahaha

[@arcticangel1628]

Schecter Tempest.

[@Omnimon101]

hey, me and my friend are thinking of making a kid friendly version of this song, got any ideas for lyrics, cuz all we have is CUT MY PIE INTO PIECES THIS IS MY LAST DESSERT

[@SvgShoot3R]

CUT MY STEAK INTO PIECES! THIS IS A PLASTIC FORK!

[@isaiahmarquez9717]

🤣

[@Railoffroader2]

😂

[@rockpwnsu]

nice tone

[@JerkyChid]

They do occasionally but often not in interviews, which this is from.

[@resington]

classic stuff

[@sankhar1728]

Talented God gift

[@najtrows]

i dont really think that you can consider Papa Roach to be trendy, and i see it as a try to have diversity on their channel. i appreciate it for what it is :)

[@japasetelagoas]

U2 WAR glued on the wall.

[@crazylycanboy]

Love it.

[@66gt40lm]

So, the album that Ghengis Khan was originally on (Killers) was remastered in 1998... This Papa Roach song was recorded in 1999. So even the digital remastered album of the original song was out before these guys were "relevant" haha. Just putting that into perspective. :P

[@LordSoulja1776]

sick!!!!!!!!

[@mmahogany33]

It is a tempest made by schecter. The 2nd generation Jerry Horton signature was based off of this where as the newest generation is based off of the solo 6 body.

[@R.R.R.465]

Great

[@OsmowSaïk]

@hunter7754 ever heard of sth called "addblock" ? works great for me

[@highwaytohell13]

Pretty good tone.

[@psteeg3551]

if you're comparing this to iron maiden: it sounds more like Infinite dreams than Genghis Khan. Still, although it sounds similar to infinite dreams (and probably other songs as well), it's not the same. Stop complaining and just enjoy the music ffs

[@thedarksideofthesun]

@Machineheadhill it's a Schecter Tempest Custom

[@dplanefilms]

Even though some people don't like this song, it would have been nice to see a better close-up of the fretboard hand and then one of the picking hand. Anyone else agree?

[@Jpixzz]

CUT MY FROG INTO PIECES, THIS IS MY LAB REPORT

[@brandontadday6288]

AMPHIBIAN, AINT BREATHING. DONT GIVE A F$#!, ON THE EXAM ILL BE CHEATING.

[@amathew711]

@MetalguitarlessonsUK okay, lets look at it from a rock perspective, can u name another another song that uses that same riff? or name a song in rock that have identical riffs?

[@harryparatesties5476]

I have the same guitar! Fuck yea!

[@gri0tube]

Jerry Horton: "So here's the main riff as Dave Murray plays it, slower of course as I'm not that skillfull."

[@DasVidiamond]

It's quite sad how few people get this.

[@Blackbird5150]

@88stockmj oh true you're right it sounds like Infinite Dreams as well..

[@Alexdapa]

whats the song right in the begining the intro to your videp?

[@xTidus24xx]

lifeline another song by papa roach

[@MikeStock88]

@amathew711 infinite dreams does when the gutiar harmony comes in it sounds exactly the same.

[@summitthescale]

@hunter7754 Think of it this way, youtube is free and you have to pay for cable. I think we can all handle a commercial or two to keep this service free.

[@TheSammanigerProject]

@HELLODERIS if he sucks how come he plays for a amazing band?

[@8keo125]

Anyone know what kind of strings he uses?

[@cereal4u]

Cut my life into pieces.. this is my last two Reese’s!!

[@arcticangel1628]

😆 I can see Weird Al doing a cover of that.

[@tapeboi321]

Coool!

[@isonfit5598]

SUUUUPER !!!

[@VampireMoon869]

[@Metallica4life1981]

[@danjacobs6496]

Riff king

[@XtrevolutionXX]

I keep hearing brain stew/jaded for the opening riff....anyone else?

[@simonbelanger1046]

Yes

[@Machineheadhill]

[@SeaJudge]

[@TheSK00T3R]

@CastAirLead In music transpose means changing the pitch or key of a composition.

[@jesman8]

@Crankshaft87 Its drop D but you can play it in standard

[@MegaDjkid]

thanks ;D

[@pokerynjke]

Хлеб :D P.S.: Papa Roach - моя любимая группа)

[@arcticangel1628]

Who wants to see Weird Al do a cover of “Last Resort”?

[@suihkubad]

Define "bad" and "good" music. Some people like papa roach. As long as anyone likes them theyre not bad.

[@joch49]

Whats the name of the song in the beggining???

[@thegoldenzebra]

cut my eggs into pieces, this is my last poptart! Buttered biscuits, no jelly, don't give a fuck what goes in my belly!

[@linkinparkmesel]

Does someone know what pedal jerry used there?

[@Blackard91]

before the lesson starts that intro is Lifeline intro riff

[@TheDrumminMan08]

He is gonna teach the solos too I think.

[@guitarofdestiny]

Steve128967 8 years later and I'm still waiting 😞😟😔

[@codeman11845]

@SchecterGuitar689 Haha true that man! Real metal forever

[@lastserenadeUK]

Cut my cake into pieces, this is my raspberry torte.

[@Blackard91]

Whats the name of the song in intro or just some random solo ? :P

[@Z0ul0u]

@bechboy94 That's the intro of Papa Roach - Lifeline

[@metalmusician68]

@AntonIceChill transcribing it is writing it into tablature..

[@Theblake09]

♡♡♡♡♡

[@AstralKreep]

What song is the riff in the intro from?

[@fssf666]

yes

[@LobsterClaus07]

Ah, right. Ridicule is the base word. Thanks for telling me, I've been spelling it wrong all week.

[@Fraaanckox3]

@Guitardemonsj la verdad es que no concuerdo del todo contigo, puede que Jerry no sea tan famoso como Steve Vay o Joe Satriano etc, pero aun asi, encuentro que Jerry tiene tanto talento como ellos pero lo expresa a su manera, y le resulta del todo espectacular.

[@nOT_sURE08]

It's in drop-B? 'cause I've been playing it in standard.

[@WiskykillerofWoW]

@ChucklesMginty Cut my cake into pieces, this is my plastic fork!

[@paparoachschecter]

It says it clearly on the Title his name and what its about. You dont need to watch it if you think he is that bad.. I mean I hate Kayne West I dont go clicking on his videos cause they pop up on something I subscribe too. I just ignore it. But what ever, he is still making money doing something he is supposedly not good at or worthy of doing. I bet he could care two shits of what people think of him..

[@angelofdeath9477]

omg 1:33 sounds nuthing like "The Trooper" people plz!

[@Blackbird5150]

@MannyBlue65 actually no it really does sound like Iron Maiden's Genghis Khan if you listen to it at 1:46..

[@SchecterGuitar689]

@codeman11845 Your right, It is an arpeggio xD But maiden is better :D UP The irons ;)

[@SousCanal]

what is the name of intro music?

[@awesomenessness1792]

YAY!!! :D

[@MikeStock88]

@MannyBlue65 listen to infinite dreams by maiden they have ripped the riff

[@mannyboricua2051]

Soon...soon

[@oliveribanez]

looool
