Underrated all the way around. Jared is such a strong vocalist. The guitarists rip. Beau has a great range. Blessthefall are so slept on, even today, it's almost heartbreaking.

@@spishyofficial honestly. They deserve more attention, awakening was a 10/10 for me, and I’m really new to screamo but god damn the album hit so well

@@spishyofficial You’re right about everything except Beau’s range. All his live videos are disappointing asf and I saw them live a few times and he’s just as disappointing. He’s a great studio vocalist and has great stage presence though 🤷🏻♂️
I don't understand why people freak out about the guitars not being directly plugged into an amp. Even if they didn't have an electric wireless amp, who fucking cares? They wrote the damn song and have played it hundreds of times and can probably do it with their eyes closed in their sleep. My god people these days are arrogant as hell.
The way Elliot is sitting. Like a boss!
i love how when ever elliot plays, he plays it in a way that makes the song look more complex then it actually is.
its one thing to be able to play that, but its a whole other thing to be able to write that stuff, these guys are seriously awesome!
AWESOME HAND WORK, WISH TO GET TO THEIR SPEED, NEXT COVER IS THIS SONG FOR SURE!
Thanks so much for choosing us, Blessthefall!!
You guys are amazing at what you do. Keep up the good work boys, you could really make it
what is it that elliot does that makes the basic techniques look really cool and difficult when he plays them

@Muhamad Nadzim Accurately too.
Nice. Blessthefall rules and inspires me to play guitar more. Lol. Lovin those ESP's too.
I love your guys music my favorite is promised ones and i love your black guitar.
Blessthefall and The Word Alive have the best guitarists evar.
Now, I really miss them :(
that second pre-chorus is killer to play arguebly the hardest part of the song
Really good!!!
my jaw is on the ground :0
Muy bueno, talento al 100% 🤘💎

So sick
I wish these guys could teach me some guitar.
just wow!
esp rules!
my boys :) amazing! ♥
i love eric!
@noobker just be happy they choosed you as the winners.. there were many other great covers out there.
Elliot has some sick hands !
LIKE A BOSS
Your very welcome ;)
of course, it's excellent because they are the ones who made it.
Flying Fingers!
Hey, can we stop fighting and enjoy the damn music? O.o
I like how Elliott's left hand working
Damn. These guys are good :o
has this finished yet been waiting for the tutorial for ages "
Completely forgetting about the sweeping, but yeah, them stretches, the accuracy you have to have to hit the right frets, fuuuu-
fall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay I looked at my scale chart now and you win, the natural scale has one fret interval greater than the harmonic minor scale, such that the harmonic minor scale in 12th position in E standard has most of its notes on the 12th, 14th, and 15th frets with some on the 13th fret (same as the pentatonic blues scale, but has notes on the 13th fret unlike the pentatonic blues scale), while the natural minor scale in 12th position in standard E extends to the 11th fret extending the fret interval.
@fwifvesson The whole reason of the competition was to win what was promised. So what is your point?
@ForgetTheForgiven that is correct...
I like how they are playing guitar with sunglasses and elliot looks like he really trying and eric looks like its like piece of cake haha
If it helps, American standard ESP's usually have the model name on the twelfth fret
@noobker gratz guys!
Easy
Haha awesome man! thanks for the correction! :) I was just posting because these guys are arguing over it being epiphone or gibson. when its neither!
EMG 60 and 81
Is Eric's guitar customized? Because all the other Eclipse's have EMG humbuckers and he doesn't have those.

@thecharliesence they have always been drop d. if not you can tell by the open chugs, derp

@FrederikThelin October 10th.
esp eclipse II
I think the sweeping in the solo is the easiest part of the song. I think getting the intro @00:30 to sound right is impossible for me even though I try all of the musical theory and guitar technique it still doesn't help me because I just suck too bad.
eric does almost everything with downstrokes...epic shit :D
Rocking out in flip flops like a boss
He seems like an official member if he is listed as a guitarist on the band's Facebook page.
Does anybody think they'll ever make the videos showing us how to play the song?
You Google tabs for harmonic minor scale, and those are the only tabs you will ever need for the entire Awakening albumn.
@ForgetTheForgiven Oh thanks ! :D
Hola! Adónde puedo encontrar las tabs originales de ¨Promised Ones¨ si me pueden dar el link de una pagina gracias! Hi, where I can find the ORIGINAL TABS of ¨Promised Ones¨ Please Leave a link thanks C:
@tango616 mainly though
i have the guitar pick that elliot is holding WAH ^^
Forever alone Elliott doesn't look so forever alone...
I have the ec-1000 vb, just like elliot, and have the same color pick is elliot, and the same strap O.o
@thecharliesence its in drop c#
Only Elliot is using an LTD Deluxe, Eric is using a straight up ESP Eclipse with seymour duncans put into it
Eric almost makes the solo looks easy...Almost! xD
@quackerofquack that was the winner of the Awakening Pre-order contest. not this guitar contest
1. They sit very wierd 2. How do they play this live 3. Best guitarists in the metal genre right here
Eric(white guitar) is lead, Elliot is rhythm, but as you can see they sometimes switch between lead and rhythm parts.
3 months and I haven't received the guitar yet. Wtf
its a esp ltd ec1000 i believe
damn! whos the guy with black guitar? is he new? fvckin beast!!
what happened to the demo that teaches you how to play it?????
i thought they said they would give there own video on how to play it? ive been waiting months.
Oh. I didn't say that natural minor and harmonic minor had a practically identical sound; I said that melodic minor and harmonic minor had a practically identical sound. I don't know how to play natural minor so I will have to look at my scale charts now and see how it compares to the two above mentioned scales, the melodic minor and the harmonic minor.
I want to watch someone play this on a 7 string in drop A Flat or G, after transposing the music down, of course.
i just noticed the guitars weren't plugged in
@Bj0RNare Yes he is new. His name is Elliott Gruenberg, he used to play for Before Their Eyes. :)
it says esp eclipse in his guitar headstock
Well...I play the guitar self-taught so I don't know how to sweep corectly yet, the only sweep solo I can play is Recreant's one, by Chelsea Grin. However,I can play the intro real good, it ain't that hard, It's just fast.
so which guitarist is the lead and which is rhythm?
ESP/LTD r the best guitars evaaar ^-^
i have the same guitar as the guy on the right :)
@XxxscooterfortxxX some of they're songs are played in C#, such as this one and another example is "hey baby, heres that song you wanted".
@Goth3m3 if you knew anything about the band you'd know that the bassist does the screaming, and that the singer is just a singer. and he's amazing live, sings perfectly. i agree that the screams are a little harsh, but its not as bad as it could be.
What strings do you use?
@TXSao19 It's pretty simple if you have a grasp of playing
right then you'll see that the three scales are different, and that the one blessthefall uses is aeolian/natural minor.
@TheBeastermaster lol they did show how to play it :P They are still playing the exact same notes. The ONLY difference if they played in live and plugged in for the camera would be the audio. The way they did it is smart cause you get to see what they are playing as well as you hear crystal clear audio, whereas they might have missed a couple notes here and there if it were live. i guess it just preference tho, some ppl (like yourself) would rather hear it plugged in.....i can dig that
