Guys just because his guitar is isn't tuned the same as BB pays it doesn't mean the chord progressions aren't right. He's actually 95% right in this video, unless Ben decides to make a video to tell us how to play it we can only listen to the song and try our bests to copy it.
For people who need it...to get down to those low tunings, something that may help are Ernie Ball "Not Even Slinky" Strings. My guitar is an epiphone les paul (not built for low tunings) and its in Dropped A# right now, trust me they help A LOT.
@XixxxDESERTSTORMXixx Tabs are the notes you play on the guitar written out or typed out. Google "Guitar tabs" and look at some of them to see what they look like. They just teach you where to put your fingers basically
So during the verse section, you got the most of the rhythm right, but in the video, you say to play the 7th frets on the G and D string (think in standard tuning for these purposes). Well, those are actually natural harmonics that you play by lightly putting your finger in between the 5th and 6th frets on the A and D string. So you play the open E string (again, think in standard tuning), and then play the D string harmonic, followed by the A string harmonic.
At 4:50 I believe they do pull offs. Also, at 6:50 you have your fingers in the right place but you don't press your fingers down, they're playing harmonics.
Good vid. Just one thing for some peole who were wanting to play it just like Ben does I watched his live vids and have found the intro is actually played on the 7th of the 3rd string, 10th on the second string and 8th of the first string. If you are in A#. You are welcome :).
Omg this is a so good guide! Good Sound, Good explanation, I can understand you perfectly and whatever you do! Please keep making guides man, knowledge is power :D
Also, during the end of the 1st chorus that goes into the next verse, that little filler riff? You said it's hard to play the 1st fret on the A string, the 3rd on the D, and the 5th on the G? Well there's an easier way, and it's the way Breaking Benjamin plays it. Bar the 8th fret on the low E and A, then the 10th fret on the D and G string (again, think in standard tuning). It's the same chord, but easier to play. Alot of bands use that chord nowadays, and that same chord progression.
@MrAussieCroat Ben uses a custom made Semi hollow body baritone that was made by PRS and it has two outputs one for the pickups and also a peizo for acoustic output.....hope this helps.
the weird chord is actually easier to play somewhere else, you put your first finger in the 8 fret covering 6 5 4 (CGC) strings an your mid finger in the 10 fret 4 (C) string and exactly the same chord ;)
here's the thing ...im just starting to learn how to play the guitar , but this song is like one of my all time favourites . any suggestions on what i should be doing to be able to play a song like this one ? .... oh n you play amazing .
@Aturn3d You are an awsome teacher! I can't thank to people like you that share this things! If and whenever you can, show us please how to play "Foo fighters - The Pretender"! ^^ Thank you!
@MrAussieCroat PRS ( Paul Reed Smith ) except Ben uses a custom Hollowbody so you cant get the same deal . but you can probably get a good baritone prs still !
How do you get that nice sound? How much does the actual guitar you have matter? If you get a good amp and distortion pedal and noise reduction will it sound that good?
Could you PLEASE do a tutorial of "No Matter What" acoustic version by PaPa Roach. Its mine and my boyfriends song and I plan on learning it for our 1 year anniversary and playing it then. Thank you!!!!!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the verse when you pick the 3'rd and 4'th string on the 7'th fret inbetween the palm muting, isn't the picking notes supose to be played on the 7'th harmonic and not the 7'th fret?
Can you make a video showing how to do D-flat or C-flat tuning because I really want to learn how to play songs from Breaking Benjamin but idk how to do the proper tuning.
I'm new to guitar so don't hate if I ask but palm muting is with your right hand right? If so are there ways to strum fast while doing so because I just can't
Anshul katta Drop D is just dropping the low E string in a standard tuning to a D (DADGBE).Drop C is a full step lower than Drop D (CGCFAD) Hope that helps!
Thanks for this awesome video man :D I was really really REALLY looking for something like this. One question, does anyone know what guitar Ben uses? :s really wanna buy one. Thank you once again :D

Side H000e eww yuk. I know this was 4 years ago but Jesus Christ... ugh

love your vids but you didnt put the tabs in the description
The "Hard-Stretch-Chord" can played over 8-8-10 ( it's an C add9 chord in Drop C or A# add9 in Drop D)
😊
Could you teach us how to play fade away by breaking Benjamin it's a cool song
agreed
3rd fret 12 string?
Ya dude... you need a 12 string to play this song... sorry to ruin it for you...
Haha ^-^

@@oldfartjenkins4261 as soon as he started explaining the intro

@cbass856 yes, you use your right hand and for speed, it helps alot to strum up AND down instead of just down
@MrAussieCroat One of his guitars is a PRS

Updated this tutorial? In the description? Where?
@EmoHeartsForAll Drop Bb tuning = Bb-F-Bb-Eb-G-C I am using a Boss DS-1 Pedal and a Mesa Boogie Studio 22+ amp for my sound
@Aturn3d all of Ben Burnleys guitars are custom PRS guitars, accept for his first one is a normal PRS
we have the same taste of music nice job man
Omg this is a so good guide! Good Sound, Good explanation, I can understand you perfectly and whatever you do! Please keep making guides man, knowledge is power :D
Not trying to be a douche or nitpick. Everything in your video was spot on. I just though I would suggest a few helpful tips. Keep on rocking man.
you should make a tutorial of breaking Benjamin's hollow
YAS
That Would Be Awesome
can u do breaking benjamin without you for electric been trying to find someone to show me how to play that song no joke
Blow Me Away by Breaking Benjamin was my first song, and it only took me about two weeks to get the basics down.
Great intro man! Just one thing, the dramatic intro takes a real hit when you plug into a Line 6

I have a video for Drop C, but just type the others into google and they will show up
3rd fret 12th string
Try to use heavy gauge strings and adjust the truss rod to make it go lower. 11-60 is what i recommend.
@MrAussieCroat ben uses a PRS ( Paul Reed Smith ) but its his own custom hollowboy, but there probably is some other baritones you can buy
@Aturn3d You are an awsome teacher! I can't thank to people like you that share this things!
If and whenever you can, show us please how to play "Foo fighters - The
Pretender"! ^^
Thank you!
@MrAussieCroat PRS ( Paul Reed Smith ) except Ben uses a custom Hollowbody so you cant get the same deal . but you can probably get a good baritone prs still !
dude youre amazing thank you so much ive been dying to learn how to play this.
Hey If your drop tuning to b you need to strings for a 7 string and you use all but the high e string takes away all the buzz and hum..
i love watching these i have learned so much!!! THUMBS UP!!!
@Aturn3d I think I use 70-16 gauge strings. Not sure, but its at least 13
Ya this is an old video that I actually re-did. And I use .13 strings for drop B and lower now
Oh ok, thanks man! Great video, btw!
Yes, I'm just using a

Great lesson!
thanks .. that'd be helpful for a lot of people .. keep it up
I guess I’m not too bad took me five minutes also on that second part. Great camera work and instruction.
What are those bar chords? Is it just one fret of barring or is your ring finger on the 4th string with it?
the verse chugs those notes you were playing are supposed to be harmonics on the 5th feet of a and d mate
How do you get that nice sound? How much does the actual guitar you have matter? If you get a good amp and distortion pedal and noise reduction will it sound that good?
Could you PLEASE do a tutorial of "No Matter What" acoustic version by PaPa Roach. Its mine and my boyfriends song and I plan on learning it for our 1 year anniversary and playing it then. Thank you!!!!!

Nice video! Can you please tell me what kind of guitar that is?
last to know by three days grace i would like acousticly but on electric wouldbe cool to
dude ur guitar is fuckin epic and ur a damn good teacher :D
When it's distorted, the sound is 90% amp. I have a $50 Fender Strat ripoff which sounds badass when it's detuned and distorted.
He uses a PRS Custom Baritone, specially built for him, I'm saving up to customize one like his.
the lower e string in standard e tuning is called the 6th string, not the 1st string.
Its the same as Drop C, and I have a video tutorial on my channel
Your guitar strap is awesome!! Where did you buy it?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the verse when you pick the 3'rd and 4'th string on the 7'th fret inbetween the palm muting, isn't the picking notes supose to be played on the 7'th harmonic and not the 7'th fret?
Ben Has Custom PRS Baritone Guitars that can allow him to tune down to A#
Lift- Poets of the fall

oh thanks
+marshall bmx you're very welcome.

i thought the notes between the open b notes in the verse were natural harmonics on the 4th and 5th strings on the 5 fret?
Thanks for this awesome video man :D I was really really REALLY looking for something like this.
One question, does anyone know what guitar Ben uses? :s really wanna buy one.
Thank you once again :D
@thekaradioguardifan I use a Boss DS-1
The two notes on the verse between the open notes are harmonics, not notes like you show. 7th fret, 4th then 3rd string.
@MrAussieCroat all his guitar now are PRS
