Sleep Token - Missing Limbs - Guitar Lesson/Tutorial

Possibly the most accurate online? Maybe. Seems to match what Vessel is playing on live footage of the song ( • Sleep Token - Missing ... ) and I've spent ages making sure the chord voicings are correct! I hope this helps everyone who wants to learn it, it's very quickly become one of my favourite songs.

ACCURACY UPDATE - I realised this isn't quite perfect. For the verses, you want your picking thumb to be alternating between the A string and D string - A D D / A D D / A D D / A D D / etc. Chord voicings are the same, just try it with your thumb doing a little oom pah pah type thing

Thanks for this! Now I can depress myself instead of relying on the song to do it.

[@tomcanningmusic4923]

i'm not saying that's why i learnt it, but.... 🤣

[@BK-lx5mo]

Or, you can think of it as catharsis for times you’re already battling depression. 🫶 Like the last eight months, for instance.

Holy that tone is is impeccable!

thanks man! squier strat doing it's best hahaha

[@polyghoneoff]

When u started signing I started to cry. You sing incredibly well and this song is such a beautiful music. Love on you bro ❤️

[@tomcanningmusic4923]

Ah thank you! Might do a full cover of it soon 😄

[@tomcanningmusic4923]

[@kieran1144]

Love how you casually break your index finger after saying the fourth cord is a little weird😂 but great tutorial thank you!

[@runicguitars2906]

Great quick lesson, thank you. Ive been wanting to learn this song a few months now but i guess I was looking in the wrong places 😂

[@jonahwatson1437]

your tone is heavenly

[@HonorThis]

Brilliant! And no crazy tuning or using two guitar parts. Thank you for your efforts. Learning this tonight.

[@ashleygreenaway6312]

Thanks for this breakdown mate. Such a lovely song. I’ve watched a couple of times and can almost play it now.

[@tomcanningmusic4923]

Happy to help! It's an awkward one to play at first, satisfying once you get it down though.

[@ashleygreenaway6312]

@@tomcanningmusic4923 yeah, I keep coming back to it. You’re right about it being satisfying. Playing and singing at the same time is a relatively new skill I’m working on. Can’t wait till I can do my own cover. Love your version mate. It’s really helped me get the feel of it beyond just listening to the original and trying to play along with it.

[@iMMoRDuL]

Thank you so much for doing this. The other versions of this were very wrong lol

[@iMMoRDuL]

You should do the cover too! Wouldn't mind playing along with you to learn it

Nice work man👍thx for your video!

Sounds great, cheers m8!!

[@Lilysadork]

Hm im kinda confused when you said to flatten your index to an A. My guitar doesnt make the strumming sound yours dose when i do that.

FERB…. I know what we’re gonna do today

Thank you!

[@drewwalters7392]

Tone is beautiful, what are you using?

[@tomcanningmusic4923]

Thanks! I'm using a squier affinity strat into the free version of the AmpLion sim, with a bit of compression and reverb added

[@Brand0nHeat]

Thanx 👍

[@atlanticastt]

are you ever gonna do an instrumental of this song? 🤧

[@Jotchua]

Do u think this would work with an acoustic 😅

[@tomcanningmusic4923]

Yep, it's exactly the same on an acoustic. Only used electric because I was too lazy to get the acoustic out of its case 😂

[@jeremyd7758]

Hey bro I fucking love this video. I've been using this to cover the song and it's sounding great I wanted to ask if you'd be able to transcribe the chord progression in the love you want as well. Thanks!

[@tomcanningmusic4923]

hey man sorry I'm like a year late replying to this! I love that song but unfortunately I don't read music so transcribing isn't something I can do 😅

[@ForLorNVuLgaR]

I love st pal… but I’m sorry to say that they def not play in standard tuning…

[@tomcanningmusic4923]

what tuning is it meant to be in mate? couldn't figure it out in anything other than standard

[@ForLorNVuLgaR]

@@tomcanningmusic4923 As far as I know and Im no expert but from tabs, ear and seeing them live its safe to assume its drop E as low as drop A (of course not the ush but an oct lower)

[@tomcanningmusic4923]

@@ForLorNVuLgaR ahh that'll be for the heavier stuff. songs like hypnosis are really low, this one's definitely not one of those hahaha

[@ForLorNVuLgaR]

@@tomcanningmusic4923 I see your point now fella, Im glad theres other critical thinkers out there that can still have a discussion a a subject like civilized adults :D Keep it up! Also question for you, do you think that Vessel writes everything (perhaps not the drums) in ST since the beginning?

[@tomcanningmusic4923]

@@ForLorNVuLgaR Personally I think it's a collaborative effort. Given the quality of musicians he has around him, I can only see it being a team thing, but who knows!

[@justanotheridiotplusultra3900]

Is anyone struggling to understand how the picking is for the pre-chorus? Ive watched it back at 0.25× speed but i just dont understand

[@herrievanrooy8188]

Yeah I'm lost, have you figured it out yet?

[@justanotheridiotplusultra3900]

​@herrievanrooy8188 when I play it myself, I believe I just keep the same sort of pattern the entire way through.

[@fladimo9594]

​​​@@herrievanrooy8188right now I'm just making my thumb go E / A / A / A, while my index and middle stay on the G and B string. seems to work tho I'm not sure it's what he does in the tutorial. edit: in the official visualizer it sounds like vessel returns to the verses' picking pattern while keeping the thumb rooted to one string, at least after the "to remember what they did before" part. at the end of the prechorus (on the B shape chord), move your fourth finger up one fret. hope this is closer to being accurate :3 LAST EDIT: I was sorta right. Chris Crowley's recording of a live performance does a good job at showing Vessel's picking pattern and chord shapes tho if u wanna check it out.
