If it wasn't for An Ocean Between Us (Album) coming into my life at the perfect time during one of the most difficult times of my life, I probably would never have started playing guitar. Nick and Phil are 2 of my favourite guitarists and human beings, these 2 lads paved the way for newer Metalcore and in my opinion were way ahead of there time. Despite the controversies with the band's past, As I Lay Dying were my favourite band for a long time and this video is very important to me. When I started playing guitar it was my goal to play these songs, I probably achieved that a long time ago but to make a video of this quality is even more satisfying. Please give a thumbs up, a sub, a comment, everything helps me continue making quality videos. Cheers guys! ❤❤
Thanks dude, first person to really comment on that aspect. A lot of the time, the thing that makes a riff good, is the build up or the transition. It's hard to enjoy 7 seconds of a riff when there's really no climax.
And if it wasn’t for you I’d prolly have never attempted to play any ERRA material. You’re an absolute monster dude, cannot wait to see what you do with a 7 string. Keep slayin 🤘🏻
Dude, you killed those riffs. It was so satisfying to sit and stare at those riffs when I've pictured how they might look for so many years. I'm dusting off the cobwebs and joining a cover band to perform a few "2008 myspace metalcore" shows and 'Nothing Left' is on the setlist. That song is way harder to get tight than I thought. Your control and ability to silence any white noise was great, I hope I can achieve the same thing, especially live.
You’re probably not on here super often, but I just wanted to say a massive THANK YOU for posting this. AILD was THE band that got me into metal a very, very long time ago. And I just started playing guitar 2 weeks ago. Your video came up on my recommendations and boy am I glad I clicked! Keep shredding brother! Amazing.
Oh man, those riffs never cease to bring out goosebumps for me, and you nailed them with such clean precision! I love the intensity "My Own Grave" brings out with those gallops. "My Only Home" shares that intensity. Riff on!!
My Top 10 10. Meaning In Tragedy 09. The Wreckage 08. Condemned 07. No Lungs To Breathe 06. Comfort Betrays 05. Parallels 04. Morning Waits 03. Shaped By Fire 02. Wasted Words 01. Collision
Awesome video man, riffs sounded super clean and as good as there original version. Cool that you know how to play so many different and unique AILD riffs. 10/10 guitar playing, you should be proud.
This is sick it makes me wish I could play my my guitar right now. I love that there's a lot of stuff from An Ocean Between Us, The Powerless Rise and Shadows Are Security, those are my favorites by them
Sick dude. Very nicely done. Gotta go back and listen to some of the classics now. The only ones I’d personally add is the sound of truth and through struggle.
This video got me into ASILD and I have loved them dearly ever since. Thank you so much for putting this together! Your playing is also super tight and inspired me to pick the guitar back up again after a few years of barely playing.
Damn this is a badass video! I hadne listened to some of these songs in a while and hearing those riffs made me go back and liaten to those masterpieces. You are awesome man, that sound and tone you have is killer!
Awesome job dude! I’m surprised Through Struggle isn’t here (not a critique, just genuinely surprised!). My personal favourite is probably Sound of Truth :)
Homeboy remembers finger placement on his his guitar and ass placement. No matter the shirt or the song, he is on point facing the same angle playing like a badass. 😊
I love how he’s playing stuff that is super technical, powerful, and heavy yet he looks as nonchalant as though he was drinking a cup of coffee Edit: Hey mate, I’d lose my shift if you covered House Of Glass (by ERRA.)
Haha it's actually the complete opposite! I'm trying so hard not to fuck up I can't make a different expression.🤣 I love House of Glass so we'll see what happens. I'd like to make videos like this where I focus on the best parts of each song.
I use to have a buddy who could shred he thought me nothing left I use to bug him so bad to play it one day he said get my other guitar and the other amp and sit down after a few hrs and weeks of practice he said dude it’s time to learn something new lol
Went to music on RUclips. Your vid was the first one that popped up. I just wanted some background noise while I did some research on my phone. I ended up watching your video. You killed it. AILD has been a HUGE influence on my guitar playing and I respect your ability. Although,I’ll say you didn’t look like you were having much fun. Lol
first instrument was a guitar for me and i still cant play like this ): so i went to the drums and i can play these songs better than i would on the guitar! Props to the guitarists out there shredding!
My favorite riff is from the Overcome song. Absolute killer. The whole Awakened album is criminally underated. Probably the fans don't like it because ut sounds more like Swedish melodeath than metalcore.

ha same, an ocean between us lead me down deep into the metal genre
When did u first hear the band?
@@JasonMontell2501 might've been 2005 or 2006
yes! badass playing dude, super clean and tight. whats your signal chain?pickups and amp?
@@CaseyWalle me too. Shadows are security is still my favorite album
Some people really forget how iconic AILD is to the genre. Great video man
Well done. And also thanks for playing more than just 7 seconds of the riff and moving on. Love the longer format than what everybody else does
Thanks dude, first person to really comment on that aspect. A lot of the time, the thing that makes a riff good, is the build up or the transition. It's hard to enjoy 7 seconds of a riff when there's really no climax.
I will sit through a whole play through of all these. Well done my man
Also glad he didn't just play all the popular ones.
this is like a "try not to pull out your guitar challenge".... i lost after forsaken came on lol
Haha I love it! Forsaken will definitely do that to you haha
The chorus of Parallels is in my top 5 favorite riffs of all time
I forgot about this songs chorus… HEAVY… perfect melody.
Top 3 for me. Amazing chorus
The end breakdown of Confined is in my top 3 breakdowns of all time!!!
they have always had some of the most captivating riffs in all of metalcore.
5:29 Goosebumps!
Nostalgic af. I want to learn every riff in this video. Great job mate!
Thanks man!! They are hella fun to play.
This was damn good. Made me appreciate Phil Sgrosso so much more. Dude is a musical genius
Finally! Someone playing the My Own Grave intro riff right! Love this video
Please do pt.2 of As I Lay Dying songs!! Ever since I watched this video I suddenly became an AILD fan!!!
I remember covering 94 hours and a bunch from an ocean between us as a kid. Thanks for the memories!
Thanks for watching brother I enjoy your content too. ❤
The Above, Below album art in the back made me so happy. What a criminally underrated band!!
They need to put out more stuff
And if it wasn’t for you I’d prolly have never attempted to play any ERRA material. You’re an absolute monster dude, cannot wait to see what you do with a 7 string. Keep slayin 🤘🏻
Love the cycle!! I hope you can be an inspiration for others too ❤️
I love the breakdown in Confined Phil is such a beast at writing riffs. This cover is so well done, man. Good work would love to see more bro!

I still read everything. Glad to hear that and I hope you enjoy the journey! :)

Man parallels is a riff masterpiece. Underrated song
Phil & Nick, what a duo. Two of the greatest to ever do it imo. Miss that era of metal every day
Nice list! An ocean between us has been one of my all time faves
Need a full “my own grave” cover from you man. Mixing was sooo good better than the original imo
Solid dude! Killer shit! So calm and relaxed shredding the crap out of that guitar! One of my favorite bands. Well done indeed!
That guitar is a thing of beauty.
Absolutely love the top curves and head!
Awesome video man, riffs sounded super clean and as good as there original version. Cool that you know how to play so many different and unique AILD riffs. 10/10 guitar playing, you should be proud.

This video came up while working on a project and it's badass brother keep this shit alive it's even cooler now imo
One of the best bands of all time. Thanks man, great work.
This is sick it makes me wish I could play my my guitar right now. I love that there's a lot of stuff from An Ocean Between Us, The Powerless Rise and Shadows Are Security, those are my favorites by them
Back again, unreal playing dude. Truly masterful💯🔥
Admittedly i know of this band but havent listened to em much, this video leaves me intrigued
I still come to your channel often, and I love playing the Forsaken part in this video, the chorus fills me with good energy every time :)))
My brother in Metal. Great job. I will always love As I lay dying. If it wasnt for them i wouldnt have started my music journey either.
Sick dude. Very nicely done. Gotta go back and listen to some of the classics now.
The only ones I’d personally add is the sound of truth and through struggle.
Confined is the song that got me into metalcore. Sick video 🤘
Upsidedow Kingdom most nostalgic song - nice bro, a lot memories listen
The last one caught me off guard, was expecting through struggle but damn nice pick bro!
Sick cover, bro. As I lay dying are my top favs of metalcore along with Killswitch engage.
Same man.
This video got me into ASILD and I have loved them dearly ever since. Thank you so much for putting this together! Your playing is also super tight and inspired me to pick the guitar back up again after a few years of barely playing.
That's awesome dude, glad to hear that!

Your song and riff choice is top tier bro cheers
Love the Impulse behind you.
Wrath Upon Ourselves is so underrated! Love to see it on here :D
Would love to see a video like this with Born of Osiris riffs. Some very tasty lead and rhythym riffs!
This is amazing, I've watched this video like 6 times in the past two days
Thanks so much my dude!
Awesome job dude! I’m surprised Through Struggle isn’t here (not a critique, just genuinely surprised!). My personal favourite is probably Sound of Truth :)
Such clean playing, very impressedddd
No sound of truth is kind of a bummer. Solid choices for the most part. Nice playing!
I really could just watch you play all day
Homeboy remembers finger placement on his his guitar and ass placement. No matter the shirt or the song, he is on point facing the same angle playing like a badass. 😊
My fav Metalcore band ❤️🔥
Thx Man \m/
That dude has the definition of "guitar fingers" holy shit!
more like piano fingers haha
Excellent sir
Hell to the yeah! An Ocean Between Us and The Powerless Rise has to be my favorite albums by AILD!
That was a really nice watch. Good job man !
Cute cat too 🤘
Damn I love the tone for 94 hours, chugs like hell ♥
Confined always gives me goosebump, the good old days
Couldnt have been any better!
I love how he’s playing stuff that is super technical, powerful, and heavy yet he looks as nonchalant as though he was drinking a cup of coffee
Edit: Hey mate, I’d lose my shift if you covered House Of Glass (by ERRA.)
Haha it's actually the complete opposite! I'm trying so hard not to fuck up I can't make a different expression.🤣 I love House of Glass so we'll see what happens. I'd like to make videos like this where I focus on the best parts of each song.
Hah. Whatever your expression you kill it!
And and doing the best part of songs you like as you did here is a sick idea!
from 2:50 to 3:20 this sounds so badass and epic
this guy kicks ass on the guitar
Dude you’re an amazing guitarist! Don’t know how I’m just seeing this video but I’m subscribed now!
I use to have a buddy who could shred he thought me nothing left I use to bug him so bad to play it one day he said get my other guitar and the other amp and sit down after a few hrs and weeks of practice he said dude it’s time to learn something new lol
Subscribed
nice tone brother, clean chops
I like that guitar, looks rad
Damn, it's very well played dude, very satisfying to watch ;)
Went to music on RUclips. Your vid was the first one that popped up. I just wanted some background noise while I did some research on my phone.
I ended up watching your video. You killed it. AILD has been a HUGE influence on my guitar playing and I respect your ability.
Although,I’ll say you didn’t look like you were having much fun. Lol
It's more of a concentration face than lack of fun haha, something I can't help much unfortunately! But glad you enjoyed the vid!
first instrument was a guitar for me and i still cant play like this ): so i went to the drums and i can play these songs better than i would on the guitar! Props to the guitarists out there shredding!
Well done brother, love from India ❤
This is insane.. only after we've fallen is my favourite
So good, man, cheers! Pure metalcore
No Through struggle? Great video 🤘
My favorite riff is from the Overcome song. Absolute killer. The whole Awakened album is criminally underated. Probably the fans don't like it because ut sounds more like Swedish melodeath than metalcore.
A masterpiece ❤
Nicely done!!!!!!!!
