Hey, rob I have a question and maybe you've already answered this before: why is it with all of the numerous great options as far as guitar companies, them dropping your signature model (which bummed me out. Right when I had enough cash I couldn't buy one anymore), and guitar prices continuing to climb, you continue to choose ESP as your go to company? And also, do you have other brands in your collection that we haven't seen yet?

[@RobArnoldWorld]

@@thatsameenergy I'm very fortunate to still have a full endorsement from ESP. Couple that with the fact that I truly LOVE everything about ESP guitars, and think they're the best guitars out there. Plus, it's still a dream come true scenario for me, as I used to stare at posters of James and Kirk on my walls as a kid, playing ESP guitars, and now I'm featured along side them in past ESP catalogs. Talk about surreal! ESP discontinued production of my signature model when I retired from touring back in 2011. And that's because that's the way it works with signature guitars... they want you out there playing them night after night from the big stages. But as my KZbin channel grows, perhaps that will change down the road. All but two of my guitars and basses are ESP's. My very first guitar, a Tanara (ibanez copy), is featured in ep. 10 of my Everything You Love show, and a Dean Razorback V, which is featured in EYL ep. 30. Check em' out if you haven't seen them! Oh, and I also have some Yamaha and Fender acoustics. 🎸

dude, you should totally do a watchthrough of one of the chimaira documentary here on youtube, with commentary from you alone, or together with Mark and others! Would personally love to watch the dehumanizing process with the commentary from band members with hindsight of 2023!

[@thatsameenergy]

One of my favorites to jam along to. Old-school, simple, brutal Chimaira! Nice to see a lesson, I play that bridge slightly wrong 😆

[@darkallyrecordings4931]

I play it different too.....but I think were playing Matt's part.....I know I stay in the lower register throughout on that bridge riff.

[@IndependenceGuitar]

This is the first riff I ever heard from Chimaira. Gets me so amped!

[@RobArnoldWorld]

🤘😎

[@Mike4891w]

Love the esp guitars almost as much as chimaira. I had an esp h1000 in the early 2000's. Best guitar I've ever owned.

[@Sikthy]

i swear its great to see rob teaching us the songs from his bands and projects barely any guitarists shares that or they just do playthroughs of the songs that have videos so thank you rob for being awesome always

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Hey thanks for appreciating it and tuning in! 👊

[@tylercanady1571]

Man.. the tone he's getting here... unbelievable

[@RobArnoldWorld]

🤘

[@darkallyrecordings4931]

You finally did it! Easy song yeah.....but this one hits home for me. First track I ever heard from you guys and it was LIVE.....I was hooked! Couldnt find the CD anywhere. It was a hell of an experience seeing Chimaira live, going into it blind. I was mind blown. It was Cincinnati Kittie, American Headcharge, Chimaira, ......There was another band.......I want to say it was No One but I cant remember....I think we drove 9 hours for that show to see Headcharge. Little did we know we were gonna get our heads ripped off by Chimaira......My buddies ears started bleeding! Literally!

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Yes! That's awesome! And it WAS No One on the bill with us! Good times! Glad you got to see us during that era, and glad to have ripped your head off bro! 🤘

[@JesseDKangas]

Really happy I got to hear it live once again last month.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Me too!🤘

[@darkallyrecordings4931]

Wait.....they played it again?? I gotta see this...

[@cbolton81]

I remember seeing Chimaira (1st time seeing you live) play at the Hard hat cafe (now it’s called headliners) in Toledo ohio and watching you like a hawk during this solo to see how you played it. Also Jim kept stepping my my fingers the whole show because I had my hands on the PA. Awesome show. Got a drum head and a few picks you guys tossed out at the end of the show. We also seen Matt and was like who’s this guy. That doesn’t look like Hager. We had no idea Jason left.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

I remember that show!🤘

[@Guacamolian]

I wish more guitarists would do this. Those tab books can be inaccurate. Absolutely love that nasty tone you get out of that low A string. I'd love to see how you do the outro to "Dead Inside"

[@lucaspontes91]

Man, this song is AWESOME! Thank you for sharing this lesson

[@Acd81]

Yeah buddy! The good old days 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Such a great album and my intro to chimaira

[@machineofrage]

Your tone is insane. Love it.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

👊

[@savagevidz149]

So, The first song, that I couldn't ☆ Let Go ☆ Back when I first heard it in the Sky Church, underneath the Space Needle in 2002. Chimaira opened for Danzig, and I have been hooked ever since. Fast forward almost 22 years, and I am still down for it. The drop A , 7 string approach didn't last, and what I believe is Chimairas sound...if you will...( Rob Arnold ) Is drop C. From Pass out to the next Album was a metamorphosis I feel. With the foundation still there of course. I am happy to have picked up my Schecter Hellraiser..tuned her down to Drop A this morning..and made my girls put up with learning this song. I received the email yesterday, but I'm a workn Union Carpenter and when they off OT..I'm all over that shizz.$$$ BUT... thank you brother for this song. It truly was and is the beginning of my Chimaira journey, and now, I get to add it to me list. Soon, I'll upload one of your bangers to my Channel for all to see..but mostly as an ode to you my friend.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Haha sounds good bro! I remember that Seattle show with Danzig! Do you remember some trouble when some guy was messing with Mark and then he threw his microphone into the crowd? Shit was crazy! Cheers dude and don't work too hard! (Feel free to work hard on the song though!🤘😉)

[@savagevidz149]

@RobArnoldWorld Threw the mic, then jumped into the crowd at him.. Was epic and most probably forgot But I didn't. Made it memorable. Mark and his curly curls. Ha. Re read my comment and dam I have alot of typos. Oh well...this is us and our shi+. No need for proper English, just proper Metal. I'll probably share ☆Army of me ☆ 1st.

Hey Rob! Just started listening to chimaira and have been a fan of your channel for a while now! I use your rhythm warm up exercises on a regular basis in my playing! I was actually wondering if you could do a lesson video for dead inside? That’s been my favorite song since I discovered chimaira!

[@cheesekingdom1989]

The Flame outro please 🙏

[@619dar]

So glad to see the Quick riff series back Rob. One or two things that I'd like to ask you. You've tuned this seven string to A. If you was to play this on a six string would the tuning by the same ? And what set of strings are you using on the seven string.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

If it were on a 6 string, I think I'd just tune it AEADGB low to high. On the 7 string, I still use 11-52, and then I add a 60 for the 7th string!🎸

[@619dar]

@@RobArnoldWorld Cool Rob. You always spoke of low to high tuning. Why had 60 for the 7th ?

[@RobArnoldWorld]

@@619dar I don't really understand the question, but because the 6th string is a .52, you need something thicker for the 7th string. So a .60 it is!

[@TheCarTakerGarage]

Heeeeyyy maaan.Long time no " see" :) Time flies..and my goodness you played the Aniversay show already ? That is craaaaazy awesome. I bet you had a blast? One fun thing though..you talked about guitarsts loving to get back on the drums at bandpractive...and jam out? that rings true...causeI can see that you STILL like to do that ( you sitting on a Tama drumthrone ;)"laughs" :) Eitherway ....I got some videos to catch up..and this particular one was awesome cause Pass out is one of my all time favourite albums.I think also it is equally as awesome as Impossibilities....but in its own way as they are obviously two totally different albums..which is why they are sooo friggin awesome :;) Thaaanx again for video.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Yo bro! Good to see ya! Yes,, the anniversary shows have come and gone, and they were awesome! Please make sure you check out some (or all) of the videos I made surrounding the event, like the three-part Inside The Rehearsal Room 2023 series, and EYL ep. 36! All the videos from that time period will be packed with stuff I know you'll dig! Cheers and I hope all's well!🥁🤘

[@genesnodgrass]

Was there a lo-fi filter or pedal used for the recorded intro riff? I love this record.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Maybe! But it was probably just a studio thing the producer added. I can't remember! It's been too long!🤣

[@nanoblsofficial]

Rob, brilliant video, I love that Chimaira record. Could you tell us some tricks to get that heavy and beautiful guitar tone from Pass out Of Existence?

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Thanks dude! Unfortunately it was so long ago, that I don't know exactly what was used to create the guitar tone on the Pass Out album. I do remember it being a mix of four amps.. A Yamaha DG130H, a Dual Rec, a Line 6, and something else.

[@nanoblsofficial]

@@RobArnoldWorld woooowww.. thanks for answer dude!!! Pass out álbum it's one of my favorite guitar tone ever!!! I'm trying to reproduce it in my songs, because it really change my perception of heavy guitar tones!!! Thanks for doing this great job!!! You are the master!!!

[@RobArnoldWorld]

@@nanoblsofficial I've heard there's a pretty good IR of it somewhere out there. I hope you can find it!

[@nanoblsofficial]

@@RobArnoldWorld hummm, I tried with my pedals and cabs. I made my IR based on this sound. I think I'm getting there, but I will look for this IR that you mencioned. Thank you very much master!!!

@@nanoblsofficial There's a guy who's also commented on this video, @trevorphilips9484, and he said, "I've just got my hands on a fairly decent impulse response from Pass Out Of Existence too, should be fun."

[@azrul666]

Is that a 707 or an 81-7? Gnarly!!!!

[@CarlOverturf]

What is the setting/signal chain? That is THE tone I’ve been chasing!

[@RobArnoldWorld]

On the album, or the tone I've got going in this video?

[@toastperson8346]

Hey Rob, are your parts always mixed in the right headphone? Just asking because I noticed that alot of bands have each guitar on each side, like Five Pointe O where the lead is on the right side and rhythm is on the left. I also noticed that some bands like Slipknot would switch it up. like on the first album they had Mick on the right and Jim on the Left, but on Iowa they had it switched around. Its kind of confusing to follow.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

No, there's no formula to which side I'm on. It varies from record to record, and on many songs, it's me on both sides. Some songs it's Matt on both sides. And on a few songs, it's even Mark on both sides. We always just did things in a way that best served the song. Each is unique. 🎸

[@billprice711]

Whats the tuning for this?

[@ivanarmandoyou]

Hi Rob!, this album fascinates me, what gauge of strings do you use to reach that tuning? Regards.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Yo! For my 7 string guitars, I always used 11-60 (11,13, 20w, 30, 42, 52, 60). And for 6 string, I always use the same, minus the 60. 🎸
