in the riff matt slides to the 12th on the 1st string. it's thicker, heavier and makes the riff both easier and more badass.

[@GreenEyes046]

One of the all-time best Muse songs and you nailed the lesson! Thanks again.

[@Chico50445]

The hammer on pull off section actually starts in the D string 12th fret, what you did on the G string sounds the same except for all the open G notes while pulling off as oppose to D. Also the whole octave section is wrong. That's how I learned it, started listening to the song and realized it was wrong, now I'm looking for the right tutorial

[@bixiba]

Great video, all your "tricks" for having a better sound are really helping. But why don't you add a guitar TAB on the screen as you play a specific part? It would be some much easier to follow you.

[@manontrusgnach7311]

Thanks for the lesson, you don't explain too fast it's perfect. Keep on rockin'!

[@nocturne9257]

The solo is supposed to be played on the D string from the 11th fret, with a pull-off to the open string after each fretted note.

[@Digitalstereoguitar]

+Nocturne yep i know, found that out after listening to it a few more times, and couldn't be bothered re-recoding the video..ha ha

[@RustEZZEProductions]

Could you please though? That would be swell.

[@nekobot222]

ermmmm can you simplify that please

[@ludos1963]

I like so much how you play the solo, on my guitar, the 2nd and 3rd string on the 17th fret sound awful, and with your tuto I can play this song, so just thank

[@samraffertymusic]

This is brilliant! Love how simply you explained it

[@MrCameratape]

Your guitar is reminds me of Slash, I love it

[@gabriellecerqueira]

Love this song! Thanks!

[@eduperez4421]

It's great your lesson guitar with this great song...thanks brother and full power

[@mhoppy6639]

Great tutorial. Thank you.

[@ricardoreyesespinoza1370]

Congratulations, it was amazing. How good you are Could you tell me where I can get the backing track of your cover. I've searched it in many places and I only find garbage. I would appreciate it very much. Keep it up. Thank you from México.

[@jimleedavid]

Awesome. Thumbs up and subscribed. Seems spot on! Thanks for this video. Any chance you'll try to tackle reapers?

[@reklawxela123]

Thanks mate! :D

[@joesmeth6831]

I'm new to playing the guitar but I'm just wondering why your guitar sounds a lot more electronic and more like the actual song than mine, I have an electric guitar and an amp by the way

[@matthewdpavitt]

Joe Smeth all guitars sound different

[@zapattack1138]

Great content man, count me in

[@GT.Bugger]

Thank you. Just watched the lyric video and he plays this on d string?

[@Digitalstereoguitar]

Kris Reed yep, just saw that, thanks for that :)

[@kjhcbj702]

[@horizon3279]

Please can you do Defector? I need to learn that song.

[@Jesperadoo]

Cheers dude! :D

[@guyfogel628]

Great!

[@BlackgoldTwinduck]

which pedals did you use in this video

[@GT.Bugger]

Can you please write the order of notes that are played on the g string via hammer ons and pull offs? I can't follow what you've done?

[@Digitalstereoguitar]

Kris Reed Just added it to the description :) G| 6--7--6--7--9--7--9--10--9--10--12--10--12--14--12--14-- 15--14--12--14--12--10--12--10--9--10--9--7--9--7--6--7 Repeated 8 times

[@benking9795]

What scale does Matt use for the solo

[@Theonlymightydem]

The solo: on the video, it seems that Matthew plays it on the fourth string, not on the third one!

[@Digitalstereoguitar]

Theonlymightydem yeah you are right, saw that also. Thanks for pointing it out.

[@mfsgoeshard]

It's because Matt has a 7 stringed guitar...

[@Theonlymightydem]

Nope, this song is played on a standard guitar on drop-D. It's got nothing to do with the 7th string.

[@mfsgoeshard]

oh. ok then

[@FakeSmileClown]

Theonlymightydem Matt also uses a Fernandes sustainer which makes the strings more responsive with pulls and hammer-ons. That's also how he gets the harmonic tones during live performances.

[@caydenwagner3749]

Cool

[@MUSERMBC1]

The solo has a D root, so it has to be played on the D string (i made the mistake too :) )

[@MarauderMP7]

the octaves part is confusing me, I can't see what strings your fingers are playing, do you have a tab please?

[@Digitalstereoguitar]

***** octaves essentially means i am play two notes that are 1 full ocatave apart, or 8 notes apart. So if my first note is a D for example on the 5th Fret of the 2nd String (A string) then the next note would be 8 notes up, so a higher D on the 7th Fret if the 4th String (G). Play these together you'll play an octave chord. Hope that helps

[@MarauderMP7]

Digital Stereo Guitar thank you! i managed to work it out and i can play the whole song now so thanks a lot!

[@christopherjuarez2532]

I'm confused isn't the E supposed to be a D when he plays it at the beginning it sounds deeper

[@rulezetz]

+Christopher Juarez Yes it is, he said it's in Drop D at the beginning.

[@mw2crazy64]

would of been a much better tutorial of you showed us how it fitted together. not just showed us how to play the segments I can play it all but I have no idea when to go into the next section. could of been better

[@tylergreen8193]

Damn I'm finding the timing really difficult on this song

[@jakeedler2979]

Tyler Green play with a metronome in the background, it helps.
