Of coirse he's a great guy :p he wrote and played some of the best music ever.

I can't believe he actually messed up. I've seen them live and he was amazingly accurate, even while singing.

This guy is so under rated it's criminal.

SWEAR IM TELLING YOU THE TRUUUTTTHHH

Christopher Daly II Been listening to them since I was 15. Now I’m 28. By far the biggest influence on my own playing.

1:29 new lyrics?

When i first started listen to music i thought the only cool stuff was Death metal till i started to the stuff Thomas does, and not only has it changed my tastes, but how i look at music all together.

Love the way he plays it in this video. Sounds a lot more somber than the studio version.

Lo interesante de escuchar a Thomas es que los errores que comete en la guitarra son una firma que forman parte de el, despreocupado siempre en ese aspecto aquí como en el escenario, composiciones llenas de furia, poliritmias, adrenalina y pasión.

It still sounds awesome even when he screws up because he's magical

BTBhead213 thanks for putting these up! This guy rocks! I was starting to doubt guitarists these days!

omg this is my fav song i love you dude!!!!

this may be one of the all time greatest songs on the planet. id love to see him re-record this.

Favourit track from Doppelganger since ages. You're one hell of a monster on the guitar!!

I read that comment a few days ago and now every time I watch this video I laugh like an idiot. Thanks!

Gracia a la musica de Thomas volví a sentir pasión por el rock y por la vida, larga vida TFOT.

hey man just wanna say thanks posting this. gotta say thom is a great muscian and definitely a songwriting influence on me as a guitarist hope he does well in the new band

At first I was like O.o then he messed up and i was like -_- but then I remembered that hes still fucking amazing and I was like =O

I tried to get him to sign my nike at the chiodos show and he said he'd come back and never did ;D classic badass thomas.

@BTBHead213 Also, I doubt he plays this song very regularly anymore considering it's a much older one and from what I've seen they RARELY play it live.

Gibson Double Cutaway Les Paul Standard.

OMG you should sing along with these. that would be amazing!

that's awesome....now if only i can get one.....

1:29 He saw a spider.

One of the beast songs.

Thomas! Remake this video! such an amazing song

Awesome play!

Nose que me pone mas triste , el no poder tocar tan bien como thomas erak la guitarra ,o que sea uno de los mejores guitarristas que ha existido y nadie lo conozca ni a él ni a the fall of troy :( habiendo tantas bandas y artistas actuales que son simples , iguales , sin innovacion ni creatividad o que a veces tienen exito solo por que son de un genero que es MODA o porque el cantante es atractivo , me da mucha pena :( viva the fall of troy thomas , tim y andrew lml

Amigo yo lo sé, conozco a esta puta banda desde la secundaria ( 2009 ), y la verdad hasta el día de hoy me siguen moviendo la cabeza porque el estilo de guitarra de Tomás no lo eh encontrado en otros guitarristas más famosos el es único y me crea una infinita tristeza que no sea tan conocido por qué el..... Lo vale y con creces....

Nadie lo conozca ni a el ni a tfot? En dónde vives? En Oaxaca? Jajaja son muuuy conocidos desde años. Y pues por lo de la guitarra, práctica. Si no sabes la afinación solo has que la sexta cuerda suene como la quinta, si igual. Y la segunda súbela medio tono (un traste). Osea en vez de precionar el cuarto traste de la tercera, precionaras el 5to.

ridiculous. thomas is so amazing.

I love that guitar! *drools*

this is heavenly

i fuckin want one of those double cutaways sooo bad!!! i'll hold up any old man shop to do it... except Zeds lol

you are a respectible person

Badass. I never knew the bottom string was tuned to A. My mind is blown

god i fucking love him.

i dont blame him for messin up. look at his fingers flying all over the place. sounded great

probably my favorite tfot song,

this vid dominates

@BTBHead213 To be more precise, a Les Paul Double Cut Standard Plus in a Rootbeer finish with Seymour JB pup in the bridge

fuuuuckkk i just love this song.. the solo is the best part of the song

The Fall Of Troy is playing a reunion show.

I wanted to meet him when I went to see them at the Subterranean in chicago this past friday. He walked right past me but I didn't say anything because you know what they say about meeting your heroes. I didn't want the off chance that he'd take me as some over energetic fan and tell me to fuck off or something. I'd literally be heartbroken lol.

if you leave in washington id say go for it!. im in FL -______-

watching these videos, i just thought were amazing covers, then this video tom shows his face and then absolute mindfuck

awesome

@cowisgod1 i think there hammer ons because look at the way hes plucking.1 pluck per each set of chords

i want a guitar like this

Gibson Les Paul Standard Double Cut Plus, Rootbeer Finish, with a Seymour Duncan JB humbucker in the bridge :D

he does lessons.

If you watch this in slow mo then you can see sparks fly off the strings after he strums them

How'd you get him to record all of these for you Ily thom :3

I so have those shorts in blue :)

At least he finished that section. Wish he did the epic solo at the end though... :(

BTB, if you're still in contact with Thomas, can you see if he'll be willing to make vids of the old Ghostship songs? :D

what kind of guitar is that?? sounds great!!

i meant alot of the parts that he sings and plays at the same time are alot simpler. compared to old stuff like. mouths like sidewinder misiles. for example.

i just wanna know why the end of TFOT ,was a very good band... ahh... i'll miss your sounds! (sorry if this was an wrost english) thank's!

Do you think one day you guys will ever get back together? & If you do let me know if there will be tree-outs for rhythm guitar :3 I would love to jam out with you & Tim Ward! :D

I think these were tutorials since he just told you to what the strings were tuned to. Thats why its alot slower than the actual song.

sick =x

dude how the fuck has Thomas been? I hear is getting back on tour with Just Like Vinyl....wanna see him again when he comes to town....he had to cancel due to that accident last time....

why not make an instrumental album of these songs? i'm pretty sure alot of ppl would buy.

@morbidlyobese88 yea, Thomas Erak isn't a magician hes a musician. There's a difference :). fail on 1:28 xD love the song though

Does anyone know what type of guitar he has in this video?

I want that shirt

what's the ring on his right pinky?

1:29 gaah !

Looks like that double cut has a wide flat neck I hate that.. I see he switched in the other videos any chance Tom would be down to do some more doppelganger tracks I got some neat Gibson's in MA

Wish he would have done a 'tutorial' thing for What Sound Does a Mastodon Make...but oh well.

He makes the same noise I do when I make a mistake... GAAAHHH

@lightsZeroKaos There's the tabs on Songsterr . com ._. I found a mistake in it, you can figure it out :P

is the part at 0:15 pulloffs or hammer ons? or both. i have the tab on guitar pro and its confusing me -_-

how do you tune to that?

@TheOldSchoolCrisis I dunno why, but I liked it when he fucked up. I find it "cute" ish or something when pros slip up a little. And he's just like "Gah, fuck" that sorta thing. Made me chuckle:)

hey thomas! i have the same guitar as you, mine is an '05, what year is yours?

yah. thts true and he moves ALOT live. i think thats probly the reason they made the songs on inthe unlikely event easier. but the way he plays it here. correct me if im wrong but it sounds kinda swung on some parts. im perty sure he plays it a litl different than the recording.

"WUUAAHH"

@cantsnapurpicture he didn't upload these videos, but I'll answer for you. He's said that he has two music projects coming up, a main one which is a four piece and another which is more of a side-project

Anyone know of his general amp settings?

i like how he changed 0:46 - 0:50 :) from the ogirinal this one is better since its allitle slower

Can anyone tell what chords he is playing from 51 seconds to 55 seconds?

'Guahhh' LOL

i love you. can i have your shirt? haha

Can somebody explain to me what is he exactly doing in 0:51? I can't figure it out

Thomas Erak XD

how does he get that tone?

Yeah you can. Just buy an album.

jaded masquerade

how can you tune so low? from E to A...

Just a shot in the dark hmu

So this is basically in AADGCE tuning?

@ImNotRightlyMade there are a simplified way of reading music

@guymanbob me too :< ide be really sad.

Hey, my youtube name was TFOT4EVER, do you remember me?

Thomas...you are the reason why i strive to make music. I practice everyday hopin to become maybe as good as you. I listen to all of the material uve made..not just the fall of troy. Seeing u like this is really something, even if its just youtube. I swear if my girlfriend didnt break up with me, you would be the only reason i would cry of jealousy lmao

This guitar looks like a Gibson Les Paul double cutaway with a swapped bridge pup. Can someone confirm? Looks kind of like a Hamer special. Also, what delay pedal does he use? Sounds like a memory man on the live stuff. Maybe even two running together. Very innovative guitarist.
