My son loves RED and he's a drummer, so i've been really getting into your songs and the cool rhythms... i even bought a 7-string guitar to help do these drop A songs lol
Red is one of the first bands that got me into metal and therefore guitar and although I often play much more technical stuff then this now days and don't listen to Red much anymore, Anthony's guitar tone, as well as riff writing, is still some of my favorite to this day.
A lot to take in for a veteran guitarist, looking to learn and play this new style of "heavy" rock! thank you for taking the time to explain and share this!!
Thank you Anthony Armstrong! My little brother is learning how to play the guitar, and now I can't wait for him to get good enough to learn this song. I love you're music and it would be awesome if I could hear it from my own brother. I really appreciate your video. I am a huge fan! Rock on!
I've been watching this for days. Anthony does tutorials better than the other people watch as I learn how to play this song much better since.....well it's his song and he is a professional 😂😂😂
THIS IS SO COOL!! I want to learn how to play guitar like this SO BAD. I love my acoustic but my metal-loving heart wants to do the thing (and maybe cover so Red in the future!) It's pretty insane that you're the only guitarist. It DOES NOT sound like it and to hear you live back in November was almost too awesome to handle! Also... "coughs up a lung". BAHAHAHAHAHA
I don't even play guitar at all and yet I've watched this video so many times that I now find myself remembering what Anthony's fingers are doing and end up playing air guitar while listening to it wherever I'm at hahaha.
Love It! This is what it's all about! So, yeah, I had one of my acoustics rebuilt to play as a baritone. The conversion almost killed my guitar (big surprise)but, we worked out the right balance of gauge and tension. Had to change both bridges. Yeah, and I had to learn how to play all over again. However, the quarterly retreat campfire will "never be the same" - totally worth it!
Jeeez.... I remember seeing you guys at Rolling Hills Community Church in Tualatin Oregon. With Disciple and Brian Head Welch one of the sickest shows I`ve ever seen. I could not believe my eyes, what was happening in that church, lol
He was really good at explaining everything and it was played clean, also nice. It just wasn't my style of music. Still uping it for it's presentation. Respect.
@Brett B hey man i appreciate the response! I made this comment 5 years ago which is nuts haha, but youre right and since then I've gotten sooooo much better at playing by ear. Cheers my friend
He should've spent more time explaining that bridge section. His fret movement is a bit confusing and it doesn't help that his guitar has no fret markers.
I'm actually learning from this so I can learn it on keyboard. I can basically layer a couple lead synth patches with a guitar patch. On the chorus I layer a pad, strings, piano and choir voice which is what I would use for the soft outdo.
@earp223 Mushok PRS. I recently sold a Gibson Les Paul Golddtop to one of their roadies when they were in Atlanta. Red's guitar tech (great guy) walked me through some Anthony's road guitars (all PRS' of course). He also showed me the SE model PRS made for Anthony with red birds which was nice (future signature model?). Admittedly I'd been a PRS USA addict, but I bought one of these SE Mushok's and have been pleased so far (EMG 81 though for sure).
@luisfelipedsm 2 1/2 below standard, 2 below= drop c plus 1/2 equals drop b which is B, F#, B, E,G#, C#, from largest string first to smallest string. (6 to 1)
Its crazy how many guitars he has! I saw RED in concert last summer and i was up front and i swear Anothony switched guitars about 5 or 6 times haha i guess thats how you know hes serious about his music:D
Man you guys are the best next to Linkin Park I love all your songs I can at times say you guys are a little better than Linkin Park I like that you guys with this album did not go soft like Linkin Park did when they came out with Minutes to midnight and again with a thousand suns.
They are playing Baritone guitars. They are playing in a Drop A tuning. It`s like two and a half Full steps down from Standard. So it`ll be in Standard B. Then you drop the low string down to A. It`s massive. :)
Feed The Machine is an awesome song but my favorite is Buried Beneath from the newest album. I have a question. What's type of amp/cab you use? It's have a really nice sound.
Grant Commerer He changes them all, but the most noticeable change of gauge is on the top string, as it's the one that takes most of the energy when you pick so you need to make sure it's really tight. The rest of the strings wouldn't be any thinner than 12's
I have no clue what the hell he be saying he teaches so fast but I'm digging the break down of the riffs visually. His guitar is uniquely/odd put together with heavy string but very genius!!! Never saw or heard a setup Quite like that before.
@AeroVortex92 yeah that makes sense. I myself own a PRS SE model guitar, and it plays great. Obviously not as good as the $2000-4000 non-SE guitars PRS makes though, and most artists in this genre use those (Skillet, Three Days Grace I think does, Breaking Benjamin, etc.). It sounds great in the video.
@Songwriter4God Hahaaaa! I am! I'm WRITING songs! And so far one of their structure goes drum intro-guitar intro-main riff A-instrumental break 1-Instrumental break 2-Verse/main riff-instrumental break-main riff B-verse from main riff B-chorus-Instrumental break-end. Probably haven't heard THAT structure in a million songs before. A band who doesn't use mediocre structure? Planet X, and Nightwish in early albums. Other bands I listen to DO use regular structures, but don't boast like this guy.
@themeleed He also plays an SE Oranthi :) But the SE Mike Mushok guitar is the only Baritone PRS. He also customized this one by upgrading the pickups from stock ones. So what he's playing here isn't the same PRS SE Mike Mushok you find at stores. If PRS made a non student $6000 Baritone, he would probably play that too lol
@lackthereof1783 Yeah, it's a Baritone guitar. It's the PRS Mike Mushok Baritone from the looks of it. All Anthony did was swap out the stock pickups to the EMGs he mentioned
It is cool that professional teaches how to play his own song, awesome! Thank you Anthony :)
He needs to do more!
He was a student of my teather
My son loves RED and he's a drummer, so i've been really getting into your songs and the cool rhythms... i even bought a 7-string guitar to help do these drop A songs lol
The exact reason i want an 8 string
Red is one of the first bands that got me into metal and therefore guitar and although I often play much more technical stuff then this now days and don't listen to Red much anymore, Anthony's guitar tone, as well as riff writing, is still some of my favorite to this day.
ROFL...Mike "coughs up a lung".
A lot to take in for a veteran guitarist, looking to learn and play this new style of "heavy" rock! thank you for taking the time to explain and share this!!
Wow .. you do look like it was easy! Thank God for your talent!
Thank you Anthony Armstrong! My little brother is learning how to play the guitar, and now I can't wait for him to get good enough to learn this song. I love you're music and it would be awesome if I could hear it from my own brother. I really appreciate your video. I am a huge fan! Rock on!
Great job Anthony!! I like the heaviness. Definitely a major influence for me and my band. Can't wait to see this played live!!!
I wish more bands would do stuff like this! love this song!
AWESOME!! Nice and easy to follow along!! Thank You!!!
Anthony you are ... god.
Red is godlike.
I love your music!
Prs seriously needs to give this guy his own guitar.
They given him a couple customs
He needs a signature model.
@@bradhargis2261 I woulda bought it.
I love red!.... not only because their music is amazing..but because they are all so beautiful!!
I saw you live last night in Roanoke. You were so awesome that you signed my temporary learners permit.
This is totally awesome, I feel like we're in the same room working on one of my favorite songs! :D
I've been watching this for days. Anthony does tutorials better than the other people watch as I learn how to play this song much better since.....well it's his song and he is a professional 😂😂😂
yall blew the roof off of the warehouse in shreveport. Best live show ive ever seen!!!
Love their sound!!!
I learned some of this listening to the the song and playing with it. Now I know how to play it all the way through. SWEET!
This is so cool. Makes me want to learn!
i havent listened to these guys tht much i just started looking em up and they are awweesssoommmee love the heavy ass bertone guitar saounds it has
Wow! This band gives lessons!
THIS IS SO COOL!! I want to learn how to play guitar like this SO BAD. I love my acoustic but my metal-loving heart wants to do the thing (and maybe cover so Red in the future!) It's pretty insane that you're the only guitarist. It DOES NOT sound like it and to hear you live back in November was almost too awesome to handle!
Also... "coughs up a lung". BAHAHAHAHAHA
Crazy riff! Thank you Anthony, see you in Salem Oregon tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't even play guitar at all and yet I've watched this video so many times that I now find myself remembering what Anthony's fingers are doing and end up playing air guitar while listening to it wherever I'm at hahaha.

However, the quarterly retreat campfire will "never be the same" - totally worth it!
This is a great video, it's cool to the guy who wrote the song teaching people how to play it properly.
You guys are SO COOL to give a tutorial. Excellent video quality too.
Thanks Anthony, I have always enjoyed when other musicians give insights to their song structures. Very cool- I dig it. Austin*
this my new fav song.. EFFIN JAMN
I love this guitar.
essa banda e muito boa!!! os caras são muito bons..
Jeeez.... I remember seeing you guys at Rolling Hills Community Church in Tualatin Oregon. With Disciple and Brian Head Welch one of the sickest shows I`ve ever seen. I could not believe my eyes, what was happening in that church, lol
I'd say waking the devil. That's the better way to go anyway. Keep warm!
Damage! Damage! If you do another lesson in the future, Damage would be an awesome candidate. Opening riff is so sick!
He was really good at explaining everything and it was played clean, also nice. It just wasn't my style of music. Still uping it for it's presentation. Respect.
so..who else has no idea to play guitar but watched this anyways?? :D
smooth sound
AWESOME!!!
that slide at 3:16 sounded so sick for some reason
A tutorial for Never be the same would be fantastic, I can't seem to find a step by step tutorial, on RUclips at least.
@Brett B hey man i appreciate the response! I made this comment 5 years ago which is nuts haha, but youre right and since then I've gotten sooooo much better at playing by ear. Cheers my friend
tssss exelente !!! los esperamos en Mexicoooo !! vengan !!
Please teach us 'Who We Are', I'm actually addicted to that song! RED, if you are reading this, you guys are awesome!!!!!!
GO ANTHONY! GO RED!!!!
He should've spent more time explaining that bridge section. His fret movement is a bit confusing and it doesn't help that his guitar has no fret markers.
I'm just watching because of your face..your beautiful, beautiful face.
I'm actually learning from this so I can learn it on keyboard. I can basically layer a couple lead synth patches with a guitar patch. On the chorus I layer a pad, strings, piano and choir voice which is what I would use for the soft outdo.
@purplemon739 Oh thanks for clearing that up. I knew they were touring in Winterjam, but Feed the Machine wasn't in the set.
@earp223 Mushok PRS. I recently sold a Gibson Les Paul Golddtop to one of their roadies when they were in Atlanta. Red's guitar tech (great guy) walked me through some Anthony's road guitars (all PRS' of course).

Good Job bro keep on making more music you guys are really good
Amazing Anthony! Thanks for doing this! I don't even play guitar but it was fun to watch :D
@blindexplore
In this video its a Mesa Boogie Rectifier and a Splawn cabinet. In the studio I believe they use Orange amps or Diezels
@cenacleband I believe the setting is on the bridge pickup. I agree that they work well with the Mushok Baritone.
Awesome, I've been wanting to play this since the first time I heard it but couldn't find tabs anywhere, tyvm for the upload :D
Very cool. Was wondering how that song was played. Something new to add!
sooooo beautifully sculpted
6:04 That wasn't a "ninth tension" He just doubled the C in your F power chord. Adding a G on top would be a ninth (just an FYI)
Great stuff anthony
Would y’all ever release another guitar lesson video like this for the new songs?
U Guys Rock! :D My fav band
@luisfelipedsm 2 1/2 below standard, 2 below= drop c plus 1/2 equals drop b which is B, F#, B, E,G#, C#, from largest string first to smallest string. (6 to 1)
Its crazy how many guitars he has! I saw RED in concert last summer and i was up front and i swear Anothony switched guitars about 5 or 6 times haha i guess thats how you know hes serious about his music:D
Its really good.
Sweet!
I love the bridge riff
I'm a drummer but this makes me want to learn guitar :)
Red and skillet are sweet!
Go RED!!!
Man you guys are the best next to Linkin Park I love all your songs I can at times say you guys are a little better than Linkin Park I like that you guys with this album did not go soft like Linkin Park did when they came out with Minutes to midnight and again with a thousand suns.
Mestre!!!
Awesome guide :) Hope to see many covers :))
I'd love to see more lessons for Release the Panic!
A SAME PRS I HAVE...O HELL YEAH!!!
They are playing Baritone guitars. They are playing in a Drop A tuning. It`s like two and a half Full steps down from Standard. So it`ll be in Standard B. Then you drop the low string down to A. It`s massive. :)
Feed The Machine is an awesome song but my favorite is Buried Beneath from the newest album.
I have a question. What's type of amp/cab you use? It's have a really nice sound.
Thnks again
Is it his top string the only different one, or are they all changed? And what kind did he say the string was?
Grant Commerer He changes them all, but the most noticeable change of gauge is on the top string, as it's the one that takes most of the energy when you pick so you need to make sure it's really tight. The rest of the strings wouldn't be any thinner than 12's

@purplemon739 What??? When did they start playing this song live??? And how come nobody has uploaded a video???
MUST HAVE BASS TUTORIAL!!!
You are one cool guitarist.
Hi Anthony, can you have a video about your gear too. thanks!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS
Amen.
@AeroVortex92 yeah that makes sense. I myself own a PRS SE model guitar, and it plays great. Obviously not as good as the $2000-4000 non-SE guitars PRS makes though, and most artists in this genre use those (Skillet, Three Days Grace I think does, Breaking Benjamin, etc.). It sounds great in the video.
He's referring to the higher string, which is usually a 45.
"Then you hear this crazy loud scream that our singer Mike just basically toss out a lung".... :D
how does he have the winding on his strings looped like that on the head!? that looks so cool!
Awesome lesson.
Wtf I'm the 999th like :P
Thanks Anthony!!!! I knew it but glad you did show us though, so its 100% official.
@Songwriter4God Hahaaaa! I am! I'm WRITING songs! And so far one of their structure goes drum intro-guitar intro-main riff A-instrumental break 1-Instrumental break 2-Verse/main riff-instrumental break-main riff B-verse from main riff B-chorus-Instrumental break-end.

+officialred i am a Huge Fan of your music :)
awesome music by the way :) ;)
Hi! Thank you for the vid. Do you need special strings to play with this tunning?
@themeleed He also plays an SE Oranthi :) But the SE Mike Mushok guitar is the only Baritone PRS. He also customized this one by upgrading the pickups from stock ones. So what he's playing here isn't the same PRS SE Mike Mushok you find at stores. If PRS made a non student $6000 Baritone, he would probably play that too lol
7:44 his hand looks like a half dead spider
@lackthereof1783 Yeah, it's a Baritone guitar. It's the PRS Mike Mushok Baritone from the looks of it. All Anthony did was swap out the stock pickups to the EMGs he mentioned
standard scale length is roughly 25 inches. That guitar's scale lenght is about 27.75
Did you need to drill the tuning pegs to fit that string gauge?
@Bassplayer56561 PRS Mike Mushok SE Baritone. I have one, it is beastly.
muito Bom!achei que era bem dificil toca ela, mas naum eh tão complicado quanto imaginei
I’m on that poster behind him!
