Phil Sgrosso from As I Lay Dying "My Own Grave" FULL Playthrough

[@retrocny5625]

This guitar tone is amazing and it sounds just like it does on the albums, it's a tone I've chased for a while. The single notes have this almost "quacky" sounding attack and pop to them, and you hear it on pretty much every AILD album. It sounds so damn good and articulate.

[@Champino443]

Came here for this comment. Unreal eh it's identical!!!!

[@moodmusic4life]

Fresh strings + super treble/compression. Ie, the string scratch that's super audible in alot of KSE songs namely rose of Sharon and arms of sorrow

[@theagamer6137]

@@moodmusic4life what about the amps/pedals tho

[@loganpriest6029]

​@@theagamer6137Yea I'd just say Peavey 5150/6505 and EVH heads are well known for that particular tone and even super compressed they just sound monstrous

[@As.i.Lay.Dying_fc_AILD]

My darling awesome riffs, i love you king! 🧡🥇🏆👏🏻

[@SirTobyvanKnobi]

I think the times your riffs gave me shivers counts a couple of thousand times by now, maybe ten thousands. I've been listening to AILD for more than half my life now, more than 15 years. By far my favourite metal band ever and that is to a great part because of your amazing guitar compositions. Your riffs never stop giving me goosebumps and fuckin crazy boosts of energy. In my eyes you are pure talent and passion in what you do. You and your playing is a great contribution to my world!!! Greetz from Cologne, Germany (where I also saw you guys live last August :-) )

[@djpickard89]

Thank you for all the years of music Phil. You and the guys molded the way I play guitar even to this day.

[@MetalBaller83]

So cool! Wish I could play like that

[@IscariottActual]

Saw you guys in spokane last year. Been a fan since 94 hours but was my first time live. Such a good night

[@Edward-we9dl]

God everytime I hear as I lay dying I am automatically drawn to the amazing riffs and solos.

[@5ms919]

Love you Phil. One of my favorite guitarist!!

[@nicolasabdelkarim4052]

Amazing song, amazing playthrough. Can't be grateful enough for AILD having restarted. Also, 2:21 Phil steps on a cat

[@Jamesfrancosdog]

Lmao, I was wondering what that was, I thought it was some sick technique, but yeah that’s definitely a cat 😂

[@Scuba_Bro]

This has motivated me to start playing guitar again! It’s going to suck being a noob basically but I want to play like this eventually!

[@Ssjcloud3]

Phil writrs most of the brutally magical riffs and nick does the solos but together, they complete the song. Proud of you. Keep shredding with soul and being the guitar.

[@waterproof4403]

This is sick guitar work

I’m so happy to find out that you actually uploaded a full playthrough... been a fan for almost 12 years, I couldn’t be happier when u guys get back together in 2018 and come back with this awesome banger... those super tasty riffs! but I pressed dislike accidentally yesterday! Fortunately, I came back to this video earlier today and I made it right (you know... I watched this video for about 10 times in 2 days)

[@nerd2402]

Thank you phil. And nick for every gold riffs that you made 🤘💪 strong

[@spridle]

Your riffs are iconic, Phil. You were the chillest member of the band when I met you all 13 years ago in Grand Rapids, Michigan at the Intersection when you opened for Killswitch. We talked about the upcoming Ozzfest you were playing. Remember it perfectly.

[@j03T3XAz]

Bro I appreciate that you solo'd out the Rhythm track to make it easier to hear for people trying to learn it.

Intermediate at best

[@beingprovidence]

There's levels to this stuff. I'd call the riffs intermediate, but the stamina to play them for this long is advanced. EDIT: Also props to Phil for uploading a raw playthrough, with minimal backing tracks/dubs. I wish more guitarists did it like this.

Always great to see when an artist can appreciate their classics. Obviously you want to promote new material and believe in what you’re making, but that shouldn’t be at the expense of the originals. Some people genuinely hate their old stuff lol

[@gimilkhad8169]

This is off their latest album. To add to the last thing you said though, it kinda sucks when you find out a band you like hates (or hates playing) one your favorite songs of theirs. You can tell which ones they don't like too, when you see them live and they play through it at 1.5x speed, lol.
