I love how he's only replying to comments about religion, and not, y'know, actual questions on how to play the song. Great to see you have your priorities.
Thank you Aaron. I just bought my first electric guitar and taught myself this song with your very clear instructions. Looking forward to going through some more of the videos on your website!
This is the most straightforward amazing tutorial ever. You weren't wasting any time or anything. 13 years later this is still the best tutorial I've ever seen on this song.
nice i been playing 4 years i know all chords and notes and scales but never learned a full song (never took time got frustrated) other than jazz band but monster is my first song thanks bro
I KNOW THAT'S AN ELECTRIC GUITAR BUT Ur a good pro at guitar playing! I dig your strategies! ▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪↗U SHOULD BE A ROCKSTAR IN THE HALL OF FAME.
Not nececarly me and my mother used to be apart of a catholic family and they believed you had to do good works to go to heaven instead of being saved through christ only but forget theology great video man.
@cloudstrife6437 you have to make sure you have drive on ur amp up and make sure you tune to drop C. Search "how to tune to drop C" on RUclips and click the first vid u see. All you do is match the sound they play on screen to ur guitar and you'll be good man.
God, I watched this video like 9 years ago or so, I didn't even knew how to tune my guitar, but I wanted to play this with my friends. This is nostalgic af
@mxandy777 I use bass: 7, mid: 6 and trebble: 8...that works for me but it depends on what amp you have...you can change it knowing that trebble makes the sound higher and bass makes the sound lower :) and use a lot of distorsion, around 8-9
yeah you are right. i def made an error in doing the bridge. i know its 10 instead of 8, just a stupid error. thanks for pointing that out! i put an annotation on that part of the lesson. be sure to check out my site, aaronsguitarlessons com
The overdrive buttom is called something different I'm guessing on different amps, but its how you put the distortion on, which makes oyu guitar sound liike his.
Skillet is a Christian band. All Christian people, and Monster is a Christian song. They are signed by both secular and Christian labels. If you are hear John (lead singer) talk about the song, especially at a show, he'll talk about how their secular labels said the song would never chart because it was Christian, and it charted #1 on christian rock radio and #4 on mainstream rock radio. and did very well on other billboard charts.
I've been playing for 5 months now and by far this lesson got me playing this song faster than any other I've tried. Here I was working on my power chords (which I'll still be working on, of course), and you came along and made me appreciate barre chords! Thank you so much! Rock On!
Im from england so i cnt get them for $15 here. They're more expensive here £14 cheapest which arn't good at all, but a few days ago i learnt how to tune my guitar using my ears. I can now play this song easily.
whoever wanted to learn how to play hero, it kinda sounds like it if u play 5,5,7,7,8,8,7,7,5,5,10,10,8,8,7,7 on the G string ( 3rd string) and repeat, dont have a video camera or anything so i cant make a vid sorry. the numbers represent the frets on the g string btw
Hey dude, your cover is absolutely amazing and your work is nearly perfect ^a^ I've heard some little mistakes buuuuuuut, nothing really wrong. That helped me a lot with the palm mute, in the intro/verses ! +1 sub :p
Im subbing you bro, i just learned 2 song from you, (breaking Benjamins Wish i May, and this one) your really good at teaching, im learning all your songs now.
@poeppinguin Hm, you probably have to put it on drive select [if you have that button on your amp] and turn the gain up. Just mess around with the volume a bit to get it to how you'd like it
awesome job! The only thing I noticed was that in the first part of the bridge, I am pretty convinced that it is actually 5th - open - 3rd - 10th. What do ya think? Otherwise I play it exactly the same. Great teaching! Subscribed!
By the way, in the intro riff, the open parts don't play the 6th string (c). It only plays the 5th (g) and the 4th (c). It's actually a very distinct difference if you play the 6th in there. =p
this is great its just when you play the bar or power chords it would be a little better to understand and see what youre showing.... other than that great job man sounds awesome!!!!!
Looks so easy :L yet i havent played guitar in a while.. Its been collecting dust xD looks like i might get back into it to learn this!! Amazing teacher!
Can you do the Who Am I electric guitar? cause we have a contest on school and I found that it was a perfect inspiration to other Catholics to turn to Christians, anyway, nice!!!
12 years later this song and this tutorial are still fantastic.
That deep south accent made my day!!!! :))))
Hi .. how are you brother , are you still alive ?
Wow this was such a clear lesson, thanks, now I can rock to my fav song :D Wish everyones lessons were like this
I love how he's only replying to comments about religion, and not, y'know, actual questions on how to play the song. Great to see you have your priorities.
Holy easy song! Dang I thought it sounded impossible to learn! Haha I'm kinda a beginner... I'm just sorta teaching myself everything from RUclips :)

@poeppinguin Hm, you probably have to put it on drive select [if you have that button on your amp] and turn the gain up. Just mess around with the volume a bit to get it to how you'd like it

By the way, in the intro riff, the open parts don't play the 6th string (c). It only plays the 5th (g) and the 4th (c). It's actually a very distinct difference if you play the 6th in there. =p
