[@mogoblins9540]

I saw the pillow and went right to the comment section to hear what the masses had to say.

[@Dobonhonkero]

+MOGoblins Yeah, they think it's a body pillow. Technically speaking, it isn't, but most of the time it's just jokes.

[@milkywayprince_]

[@im18andolder123]

didn't even notice it until I checked the comments lol

That's just a Saturday night for me man. The hell you been doin for the last 5 years?

[@Zestybruh]

Dat body pillow

[@TeamStevers]

the only error was failure to squeel. good job man, I've played guitar for 15 years and your vids just sold me on buying the game.

[@dylanwalters5637]

I dont think you can squeal on those guitars, because I can't squeal on my guitar which is an aria STG series

[@dylanwalters5637]

+Dj Ninja12 don't*

[@brandonp5929]

Wonderful performance! It truly is one of the toughest songs on the list, if not the toughest! I have a friend who is lead in a metal band, and I gave this to him for a month and he still cant get it above 90!

[@CaptainOfFun22]

Living the dream playing a song from one of your favorite guitar players

[@CaptainOfFun22]

CaptainOfFun22 Nope, you are not living the dream :D It is not one of your favorite guitarist.

[@gordonwoo8127]

I am extremely new to playing the guitar and have to say that even though this song isn't one the easier songs I chose this one to learn first. It's definitely not as easy you make it look. I'm struggling at 55% accuracy and 80%speed. I'm trying to learn the different chords right now. I still have to finish a lot of the lessons. Thank God for the 'Riff Repeater', I would have given up a long time ago had it not been for that amazing piece of software. Thank you to Ubisoft, Gamebryo, and the creator of the "Hercules" adapter, with out this amazing combo I would not be enjoying this game while humiliating myself, one song at a time.

[@KarenEftimiades]

You sure do have a determination, my nephew. I applaud that.

[@gordonwoo8127]

This is the song I'm learning, but this is not a video of me playing the guitar.

[@KarenEftimiades]

Yes, dear. I got that. Is this the 1st instrument you've played?

[@gordonwoo8127]

I started with a piano. I don't read music but I can follow it.

[@KarenEftimiades]

Play by ear?

[@shaicnaan2401]

I like the ctherine pillow in the back this man is too awsome

[@AJAlexanderGAMER]

[@CaffeinatedFrostbite]

i wish there was a game like this for drums

[@riseagainst-pe3ld]

[@EricLaytonMusic]

[@VinsensiusAndre]

You can play rockband with real drum. Google it

[@riseagainst-pe3ld]

[@jimmybungalo]

[@TheOriginalCobhead]

Great work!

[@rafaelcgol]

damn man, this is awesome..

[@galacticgaming872]

i just noticed a possible panic at the disco reference at the end too weird to live too rare to die

[@asdasdae]

I know this comment is 6 years old at this point but it's a quote from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, the novel that this song was entirely based off of.

[@TheHecklerFiles]

Beast mode activated

[@lisbethsunshine8472]

This video is awesome

[@Dert26]

And yet, people say that Guitar Hero is harder to play than a real Guitar.

[@RiffRepeater]

Who said that?

[@Dert26]

Riff Repeater A bunch of Guitar Hero fan boys back a little bit before this game came out I believe, but I do know some friends who believe that Guitar Hero is harder. Great channel by the way.

[@VinsensiusAndre]

I play GH too, it's easier. except "smells like teen spirit", it's harder.

[@melchiorsomers9512]

Honestly, through the fire and flanes *looks* harder on gh

[@samhouston1288]

Yep, guitar hero is so much harder which is why they're playing on those cheap POS plastic controllers instead of shredding on a real guitar and actually impressing people with their skills...

[@Hansiyoyo]

2:36-2:39 is supposed to be tapped btw :)

[@afraidteenfury2580]

I love that outro tho

[@Nasengold]

I play bass for 2 weeks and I have this on 70-80% :D

[@GSM_OFFICIAL]

Nice body pillow :)

[@mirakuwu]

okay lets talk about that pillow

[@JMcMom]

[@Digi-Darty77]

I'm gonna just stick to playing rythym xD Nearly have that mastered. No way I'll be playing lead anytime soon.

[@zellowarchon_twitch_youtub3372]

i was like. yes time to learn. then this dude just pulls up with the "ight time to play" and i was just watching the whole thing like i really wanted to play this?!?!?!

On a hollow body that's wild

[@lisbethsunshine8472]

This is awe some

[@cleetushellhamster4143]

Nice body pillow bruv wish it would've show up in more videos

[@VoidSixx]

At 0:42 how do you hit those palm mutes? My hand is on the bridge, hardly touching the strings and the game still doesn't detect it.

[@VoidSixx]

Evan potatopotatopotatopotatopotato So why does it not say miss for most of my other palm mutes?

[@RiffRepeater]

AirCommando12 Check your intonation

[@VoidSixx]

Riff Repeater How would I do this? I'm still relatively new to guitars so I don't know a whole lot. I only bought a cheap Harley Benton in case I didn't like playing.

[@RiffRepeater]

take it into your local guitar shop and ask for a setup

[@VoidSixx]

Riff Repeater May do in the future, though depending on how long it takes me to save up, it may not be worth it because I hope to buy a much more expensive and higher quality guitar soon.

[@CharizardSnyper]

Synyster gates is a freaking beast.

[@RiffRepeater]

@Ave Brown re: how to make videos

[@Natethesandman1]

Anyone else think of SSX on Tour from this song?

[@edzomoniz8635]

How do you get the music like that in the description? They keep muting the music if I try to upload pls help.

[@EIfinlocks]

[@Jebus01234]

Half expected you to use your Les Paul with this one. Whatevs. Still better than me doe

[@betoluvsu]

That Catherine pillow, 🤣

[@GoreGamingCentral]

I do have one question. Why is the description talking about golf shoes? Great work by the way! Keep them up!

[@carolfromhr9900]

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

[@ericlenhart6343]

how come he never tried some of the other avenged sevenfold songs?

[@NottyGurlStyle]

DAMN! I give props to ANYONE who can play any A7X tracks. Their shit is not easy to play.

[@bigtuna3633]

Will you do beast and the harlot or afterlife?

[@ddystopia5233]

what would you say is your favourite rocksmith song out of the entire series? as a fellow RockSmither, I would like your opinon. please get back to me. I would love a response and maybe some advice on some good songs.

[@thigas.z]

This music is REALLY hard! O.o

[@infiniteGamer96]

I FREAKING LOVE A7X!!!! :D

[@ghost_7560]

Nice 👌

[@alondraagundis1954]

I've been playing acoustic and electric for a year and I'm trying to play this song. and well i guess i am ok i am no pro so i struggle in some parts. wow i am amazed of your skills and i will keep trying :p

[@badb37t]

Yh I've got the same guitar for sum reason it doesn't pick up so much in lower tuning it's more made for e standard and clean sounds

[@VinsensiusAndre]

strings also affect the sound

[@badb37t]

Vinsensius Andre Yeah that's true but it's mostly the game not picking up on what you play

[@StalwartSpartan298]

I like how to seem to really get into the songs, especially this one from what I've seen. I've also notice you use different guitars for different songs, does this just simply depend on your mood or is it a tonal choice?

[@GoreGamingCentral]

I actually noticed that on 6-line guitars they have 2 frets less an 3+3 line ones.

[@ApatheticallyPleasing]

It probably has to do with tone. There's actually some videos where he switches in the middle of a song because the song switches sound. (Ex: Paranoid Android)

[@ohhithere7250]

(Breaths heavily) (chillz) u really have body pillow .-. Im not judgeing

[@RiffRepeater]

[@andrewpappas9311]

+Riff Repeater This was totally awesome! One of my favourite Avenged songs, and you did it really well, you'd make Synyster Gates proud, man! Also, as for the description, what golf shoes are you even referring to

[@RiffRepeater]

Watch "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas"

[@berrythepowerful8553]

+Riff Repeater read the book if you can and have the time, not tryin to suggest different but it's a pretty awsome book

[@maksimmarjanovic5054]

Riff Repeater, it's nice of you to tell us to watch his videos, because he is a much smaller channel then you

[@RiffRepeater]

Well, he's also halsb

[@jenniferalvarez5727]

Did you know how to play guitar before rock smith or did rock smith actually help teach you and would you recommend using it??

[@RiffRepeater]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGHEaGl5p8qGabc

[@lmoriarty1]

Why didn't you tap the two notes you were supposed to in the solo?

[@RiffRepeater]

I'm a rebel

[@Dexmente]

You can't handle Synister Gates...

[@RiffRepeater]

Dex Maddison I don't want to

[@randomdudeontheinternet6295]

Synyster* xD

[@eucliwoodhellscythe2856]

He probably can that was 4th time he played it as said by the counter plus he plays and releases these the day song comes out and even though this is a default song he finally got to it and had to do it on time the he nailed a 90% after practicing it 3 times and this song also has sweeping in it so I'm impressed

[@piotrekuygiutf4946]

+Eucliwood Hellscythe Sweep picking is technique that you once learn and then all the sweep in solos doesn't require practising.

[@socialcody]

+James Zropikski Nope

[@marcusmrb]

How is it that you aren't sweeping the sweep part? Hmm.

[@marcbowling6451]

Ah. They (a7x) don't sweep that part either. Carry on. :D

[@guitarb3ast7x]

IMO it's too slow to sweep. I would keep it as an arpeggio, plus slowing it down and alternate picking will help you increase speed and stay with the beat. I usually sweep parts that are pretty much impossible to alternate pick in. Though with this particular part, any technique, whether it be sweeping or alternate picking, should be suffice. Just my preference and two cents.

[@marcbowling6451]

Yeah I didn't realize that Syn Gates isn't sweeping it when I first commented that.

[@guitarb3ast7x]

Pretty sure he is capable of doing either, it's not like sweeping (at this speed) sounds different than alternate picking.

[@40hillis40]

please play afterlife!! I wanna see that solo done

[@jessegibson5243]

what guitar is that

[@FTW360Gaming]

Looks to be a Gretsch Electromatic Hollow Body.

[@jmjanco6246]

as doing video??? :D

[@reyagu4607]

This looks like a pain in the ass that’ll make me want to stop and quit, that’s why I’m going to learn how to play this and be proud asf of myself

[@mewatonin]

for anybody wondering if the video's sped up if you are good enough at guitar i say its possible

[@gonesavish5899]

I like the song and all but the pillow is sending me some weird vibes

[@israellopez2220]

He has dakimakura!!

[@comady25]

For Christmas?

[@miguelcosta1234]

catherine its in the background

[@bobbycosta7323]

Try the other AX7 songs Afterlife Nightmare and Beast and Harlet there kind of easier to play

[@Elcapitanmaster]

Whoa first of all Bat country is the next easiest compared to Nightmare. Beast and the harlot is one of the hardest songs to play especially with all the dive bombs you have to nail plus the speed of the sweeping part of the solo. I once yoloed Afterlife and that is by far the hardest solo out of all these songs.

[@alexhooi7970]

is this sped up?

[@RiffRepeater]

Alex Hooi No, we do not fake our videos.

[@alexhooi7970]

:/ alrighty then

[@agregat3098]

Our?

[@alexhooi7970]

more than one people run this channel

[@agregat3098]

But in videos is always only this guy so i thouth there this channel has just one owner

[@kahn5636]

What do the notes with X on them represent?

[@pen4uin332]

mutes

[@kahn5636]

***** What are mutes? Sorry, I don't play guitar, I'm gonna get one this week and buy this game.

[@pen4uin332]

Kahn Basically what mutes are is when you play like normal but with your strumming hand you put your palm on the strings so it sounds muted and keep playing.

[@pen4uin332]

watch some tutorials if you are still having trouble. :D

[@kahn5636]

***** Thanks

[@lisbethsunshine8472]

Sorry i mean awesome

[@GuitarBrotha]

lmao

[@PAPAxPALPATlNE]

Hard huh? I know, I'm still working on it, I know how to play it a different way,

[@Peniche94]

Are you playing this on pc or in a console?

[@RiffRepeater]

Peniche94 Xbox 360/Xbox One

[@TheSammy2010]

am i the only one that avoided this song on the game cos it sounded too hard. It's obvs not when you play it

[@BenthekidRS]

+@SharkArts | Editor Nah, i decided to try it out. The chorus and verses aren't too hard, but the solo is practically impossible xD

[@TheSammy2010]

+Cool Beanz Productions the verse and chorus are normal power chords. it's fine to me. the solo...let's not talk about it😂

[@joaogabrielcartagenesabreu2199]

+Cool Beanz Productions oi

[@BenthekidRS]

+Joao Gabriel Cartagenes Abreu ayy

[@PS2Damon]

this was the first song i started playing when i got rocksmith but i just skip the solo

[@iZiddle]

I thought that Rocksmith built you up to the level of the song?
