I met this guy when I parked by Chimaira's tour bus at a show. He is fucking cool.

Chimaira is my favorite band, it sucks how they are so underrated. They diserve a spot up in the top 5 or rock hall of fame

My favourite guitarists : 1- Rob Arnold 2-Alexi Laiho 3-Petri Lindroos I just love rob's style , heavy and mellow soulful melodies ^^

rob and chimaira rule i pre-ordered this dvd 2 weeks ago its gonna kick ass

That is a beautiful guitar.

damn i never knew rob was such a mellow and laid back guy.

Freakin amazingly awesome

Not to mention the style of the riffs they write.. they aren't generic sounding. They always mix it up, thats why they are my favourite band.. Joel and adam are actually beastly lead players too.. after seeing them live and watching them add in solo's etc.. i was blown away. Not to mention their pinches ;)

i am not a big fan on chimera at all, but i do have to say: awesome riff, awesome guitar, and awesome guitarist

Awesome Guitar player, and a great guy too, hung out with him after a show, really nice.

LOVE that riff!

He has the perfect rig, that's exactly what i've been wanting

wow great sounding riff.. gotta get this dvd

i love his guitar...metal kept simple...

Rob Arnold is the fucking man

Great sound quality great guitarist

Very cool riffs, very cool guitar, very cool amp!

Yes The tabs are in the booklet that comes with the DVD but you have to buy the DVD.

that is the guy who trains each and every artist to be in the Rock House DVDs.

Actually the amp behind him is the new Peavey 6505+ (which is exactly the same as the 5150II...except the look).

i thought guitar playing was hard but after seeing this it looks so easy. CHIMAIRA!!!!

!!!!!!waaa!!!! this song is awesome

Rob's DVD is now on pre-sale at rock house method's web iste

Oli's DVDs will be out in about two weeks, we have also just signed up Jeff Loomis.Rock House is workin' for ya.

i love that guy xD

It was never actually incorporated into a song, but this riff section is called "MMV". You can see it on his myspace page playlist.

Well it's hard to be perfect, Rob's DVD comes with a Tab book so you can easily follow along.

Fucking sick riffs, he should use that in a song for Chimaira.

that riff should be in a chimaira song its sick

This riff is too hard for me :p I think this riff was going to be used in a song on their self titled album, but they decided not to use it after all. Rob Arnold rules, Chimaira rules, and his guitar rules! \m/

we're working on it, we have spoken with Adam and I think he wants to do it. They bring a lot becuase they don't play leads but their rhythms are so tight it could be a killer program.

@SonOfNigme TRIVIUM Yessss for sure

i wish he was my guitar teacher

i may be wrong, but i think the head is a Peavey 6505 played through a Mesa cab

Loomis has a DVD out, its produced by Guitar World, or their DVD branch

Please, what song does this riff come from. It sounds awesome. O and I saw him last night at the Music as A Weapon tour. God he is so damn good.

@therockhouse Tell them Rock House!!! \m/

just listen to that MESA....oh shit...its amazing...

... and as soon as I heard this riff, I knew I had to learn it. As for clean, EMGs do not have horrible tones. In my opinion, they are decent.

yes that is what it is!

Tell us about your guitar and your amp. Which manufacturer, model etc. and we might tell you some settings to come close to that.

i like that guitar how much cost?

@therockhouse You would sell a ton of DVDs if you got After the Burial, Veil of Maya, August Burns Red or Lamb of God to do an instructional DVD :P

I also want to know what song the riff is from. Anyone know???

Does he show the whole middle section of 'Six'?

i already sent the tab to one of the people on here who requested them, i also posted it on ultimate-guitar a while ago and for some reason it isnt showing in the search still like my other tabs i posted. anyway if you want em ill send em to you.

@therockhouse I think you replied to the wrong post there.

The riff was never put into a song, but its called AMV according to Rob Arnolds Myspace page.

its called MMV it was supposed to be on the selftitled chimaira cd but didnt make it on there.

Hey, Rockhouse! What about contacting Daath? In their songs they use a lot of techniques, and I think it would be pretty interesting with Emil's Jazz-Influense! "Jazz is the new shred!" -Emil Werstler

@draconianrush. They dont use this riff on any music i know. BUT, they use one very similar on the music Overlooked on 1:40min

i dont understand how people can get such sweet sounding pinch harmonics out of single pickups

What gauge strings does Rob use?

is there a name for that riff hes playin

Correct! :)

yep :D i've got one :D

So, for those who have it, is this DVD worth getting? It seems like a lot of guitar-learning DVDs just consist of me sitting there watching some guy shred his ass off, without any good explanation of how the hell he did it. Does Rob go a bit more in-depth and in-detail on this to actually aid you in improving?

its his signature it has an emg 81 i think or an 82

Its actually a peavey 5150. That's where most of the tone is coming from. The mesa cab will make a difference obviously but most that tone is coming from the peavey head!

@therockhouse You also need to get the matt and corey from trivium!!!! and emil werstler from daath

what tuning is this in? thanks in advance for a answer :)

what's the name of this song anyway?

Dude it's a peavey 6505+ through a mesa cab. No mesa could sound that brutal.

wat tuning is he in? drop c?

pre 8 low 6 mid 8 high 6 post 2 res 8 pres 8 his settings.

Tabz !!! (please, it would be SO VERY HELPFUL !!!) plx, thx :D

looks like a 6505+ cuz its got more knobs than a regular 6505 cuz it has independent EQ

talented bastard !!!!

@z0mgzt0m Yeah, right... Willy and Mark from LoG would account for 99.9% of the sales.

fukin awesome!!!1

THIS IS SPARTA ! dude this guy looks like Leonidas in Meet the Spartans ! jk lol Saw him last year with Trivium , awesome

ok listen and help plz!!! i dont knoe shit about getting my guitar to sound like that,plz tell me what i need besides a giutar and an amplifier,help,help,help,

Actually it is, because it's based on the pentatonic scale.

lol he always used drop c such as primal concrete sledge

its such an easy riff to play dude i can tab it out for you if you still want. its a fun riff to play though when your bored :P so message me if you want the tab for it !!

yup. dean markley 11 guage with a 56 on the low C.

what tuning is it?

i agree James Murphy must be next in therockhouse

i don't think he's playing a song(could be wrong), at least not a chimaira song, perhaps from one of the early demo's or sumthing, but i have every chimaira album and the dvd(includes this present darkness lp) and i don't recognize it

peavey 6505 with mesa cab FTW!

He does listen to six^^

ah this guy is fucking epic!! and its dropped C (CGCFAD)

Peavey 6505 Amp

dude that is what the lesson is, don't you get it that is why he over does it, so that you can see and hear what he is trying to teach. It's crazy how many people just don't get that!

about a grand

i just learnt this the otherday and i carnt stop playing it but when i listen to rob do it makes me sound like shit hahahaha but it is a great riff to play and not very hard

LOL He totally bombed the harmonic ar 4:00 But I still love his playing. He's amazing Does the DVD come with the backing tracks?

it is a lesson program! and this lesson is on harmonics, of course they are overdone so that you can get what he is doing!

is it just me or is he using a wound 3rd?

imade it, but on keyboard

if you still want it i can send it over to you its a really easy riff dude lol

rob and his band is pretty much the shit!

If u met him, why didn't u ask him 4 the tabz 4 this riff, lol :)) ?

@therockhouse They Don't play Leads?!?!?!...

give me that guitar

actually i think its a 6505, not 100% sure though. definitley is a Peavey

It does sound like he is ever so slightly....EVER so slightly, out of tune on the D and or G string.

listen to metallica and anything they play clean those are emg 81`s

yeah,, with the 5150 head... Peavey...

KILLSWITCH ENGAGE. GET THEM.
