Sounds good so they was chillin digging in that fridge lmao

Thomas is one of the best guitarists to come out of the last generation of musicians. his structure, chord voicings, embellishments, all reek of taste. great guitar work.

I can't believe this is 11 years old. I remember when music was everything to me and I watched this video and anything I could get my hands on of my idols, dreaming that one day I could just do the same for some other kid. Kind of sad to stumble upon this.

I like to think his guitar style is so ingenious because he started out as a drummer.

That's called style. It's his own authentic sound. I would LOVE to hear all about your musical language.

id literally give anything to be able to write in Thomas' style its so unique and amazing teach me your way Thomas Erak!

the riff beginning at 0:25 is absolute genius.

Yes

Double-cut Les Paul is a thing of beauty. Fucking love Thomas in every way

i barely use my pinky, after watching this i feel comfortable with that fact. this man is god.

Thomas should be playing these riffs on a mountain top terrace, enjoying all the pleasures of life. Blessing us with hot ass riffs.

"Ah, that's just Thomas playing that fiddle again. I am going to eat a sandwich now."

Erak is my number one influence to play. I want to be that good, and I bet it takes sooo much work, but dude. LISTEN TO THAT. It's just incredible.

absolutely love everything about these two minutes

0:59 I really can't express how much I love this little part and how much fun it is to play! With the right amount of gain, it *almost* feels as if you're Thomas himself lol

Thanks for uploading these. Please pass on the gratitude to Thomas :)

This really is Thomas Erak, my friend met him on their most recent tour and Thomas gave him the green bracelet he wears in this video.

he is so godly to make this many tech songs and pull them off perfectly... i will meet you one day sir thomas erak

Wow, these are awesome. I've been trying to tab out a few of these tracks for ages

i can jam to this all day.. rock on!

I love the bit at 00:24 so much, it's hard to hear on the album version because of the singing at that point

please do upload them all because these are amazing x

Such an inspirational guitar player - like nobody you've heard before

he is just amazing

So good at guitar!!!! It's crazy

Esa sonoridad es única, ojala. Vuelvan a sacar un trabajo como los dos primeros

so good...

I'm looking forward to it too lol. Awesome vid.

glorious.

I just looked it up. Might actually start listening to that band again.

I bet thomas his that wild beast in the back

Awsome!!

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

También es un género que gran mayoría de gente lo sienten como ruido auditivo, pero está bien, todos tenemos diferentes gustos y algunos tenemos oído para apreciar esto.

Thomas, you are a God.

fastest fucking fingers ever, puts wannabe hardcore rockers to shame everywhere, cant argue with pure skill

best guitarist...ever.

THE GOD OF RUBBERY FINGERS

1:15 he's just like 'let me tune that real quick' -goes back to being a guitar god-

It's very beneficial to get that finger in shape you know.

dammn dude ur really good :D

I love all of TFoT albums and everything from Just Like Vinyl.

amazing

oh ok. i think i saw her at a show once possibly? erak would be a great teacher..

@kkkthere he is dude, Just Like Vinyl. Super stoked for it.

i can't believe he manages to play this song while for the most part only using his first three fingers >.< so fucking good

man, i've been playing this all sorts of wrong

the fall of troy gran banda¡.........thomas erak gran guitarrista

That is one fit guitar.

i dont see what wrong with either of the girls or even why there part of the comments.... this video is a treat for us cuz thomas is a bad ass and my idol XD thomas i hope you know i have very few inspirations but you are without a doubt one of them and i will follow you wherever ur music takes you. the fall of troy and just like vinyl are amazing bands and youve out done urself in both bands.. looking forward to more

coming down like a sledgehammer...SLEDGEHAMMER!!!

The majority of Phantom was written pre-Doppelganger, I believe.

True but random

U need to upload more videos dude!! i want to see mapnipulator songs on that guitar

U should tell him to do more!

@JulianAFF he uses orange and budda tube amps, thats why the tone is so great. I know he's using a tube amp in this video but obviously i couldn't tell you which cuz its off screen

Really sucks that The Fall of Troy disbanded. They were such a good band. On another note Thomas is an awesome musician.

thanks! :)

@TFOT4evr Their last concert in grand rapids at the intersection was so badass! they played this song last, but instead of sledgehammers breakdown ... they played the entirety of straight jacket keelhauled, then Ghostship part V's breakdown.

thomas....ur a freakin musical guenius

Thomas is too sick

I like how he uses his thumb to hit notes

Thomas walks into Guitar Center, picks up a guitar. Everyone watches.

You guys really need to grow up and stop making comments like "lolzz look at duh fatty in da bakz" And if it is his girlfriend who really cares, maybe he actually likes her. These video's of Thomas are amazing and thanks so much for putting these up, he and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez are the best guitarists and musicians of our generation.

i like how he uses his thumb to mute the other strings when he does tapping

Chiodos. I think Just Like Vinyl is still around, too.

look at his strumming hand there's a ring

Man thats like the best distortion Ive heard in a long time D: Does anyone know what amp or setup he is using??? I have to know it D: Audio Engineering purposes!!!

He's in chiodos right now... JLV doesn't seem to be a thing anymore.

@BTBHead213 your awesome please post a tutorial for the fans?

Just, even.

lol I would shit myself if thomas played some of his songs at my house...

I really need to change the bridge pickup on my double cut to a JB like thomas

lol. yeah. i cant ever use it either.

you are my god

A FUCKING GOD.. nuff said

AMAZING lol

He is so under rated that even the chick in the background only stops to listen for a few seconds.

lmaoo I love the face hes making at 0:03-0:04

I love you.

Gibson Les Paul Double Cutaway with a Rootbeer Finish

Fuckin sick as hell

When was Thomas ever in Chiodos? He is however still fronting Just like vinyl

@simonksi1 can you write music like that? takes talent man

YOUZ TROLLIN

@joshingledew 1.) thats a gibson, he only uses gibsons 2.) Left arm tatoos 3.) hair 4.) only the great thomas erak can play that perfectly its thomas dude

good

@BTBHead213 i saw fall of troy live and i believe he usually plays this song on a flying V

yes i have. I own both albums by them

so im trying to learn this song, got it down but cant get the speed i need alternating the three string. 0:26 . any tips? is he precisely strumming the strings or is it just strumming the three real fast all at once.

@MFWho If you dont think it's him, watch the Problem?! video, you can hear his voice in it.

hey thomas what year is that les paul?

@megalomanicalego ummmm? what kinda band were you thinking? a norwegian heavy metal group perhaps?

lol, when the forums were up a year ago, thomas was said to be dating a hot blonde swedish chick that sang back-up for coheed and cambria, he met her on tour with them. She was the less hot of the two, but still fineeeeeeeeee. haha so stop fighting.

tab book! :)

hey, this is really awesome! would you be able to play something with your rickenbacker? please ? haha it would be so swell. ive also made some youtube vide-oh!'s. i think your music is really amazing! good luck forever.

@joshingledew look at the left arm tattoos, its thomas

@BrandonBeliveau in our dreams, man

@Oxidized i fell out of my chair laughing

@whilwheaton Agreed.

at least someone does

I can dig the instruments for the most part on ITUE, but the lyrics on that album hurt my head.

@BTBHead213 Yeah this is in Drop D.
