04:32 This is just one of them riffs I wrote, you know, moved it around until it felt right, ended up in the key of F, or what looks like F.
04:43 Played the lead in the key of E when I did it.
04:48 And then after I figured it out when we started playing it live, I'm in the key of fucking F.
04:56 I'm in the key of F on a bunch of these songs, only because I thought the rhythm sounded fucking tough in there.
05:01 And so I want to move the fret markers up one, because I mean, I don't mind playing in E, I love it.
05:08 I love F sharp. F, because everything looks, I mean, like one too many doubles.
05:16 That's the fun I have though.
05:18 Check it out though. The whole thing revolves around the...
05:25 The big bend.
05:28 [Music]
05:38 [Music]
05:48 [Music]
05:58 [Music]
06:05 And that's a chunk, that's not a stomp.
06:07 [Music]
06:09 A little amp ain't giving you the full balls, but it's like a...
06:11 [Music]
06:13 A little pick and park, just fucking like loose sluggish, you know, kind of chugging kind of thing.
06:18 [Music]
06:27 Lead, remember, not in the beautiful area of E, but in F.
06:36 [Music]
06:59 [Music]
07:09 A little Edward a bit.
07:10 [Music]
07:19 Whammy pedal, but on the album it's actually a...
07:22 [Music]
07:23 Splice.
07:24 [Music]
07:53 What the fuck?
07:54 That was Lead Everett, give him a round of applause ladies.
08:00 Thank you.
08:01 The center stage.
08:02 Up yours.
08:03 See I fucked it up so I had to blame it on somebody else, but I'll do a double.
08:07 Here we go. Thank you baby.
08:09 There you go.
08:10 [Clap]
08:17 [Music]
08:27 And that's just, you know, the old King's X Chug kind of thing, you know.
08:30 [Music]
08:36 From last week.
08:37 [Music]
08:39 And on to the next song.
08:45 Wake Up.
08:47 Front I'm doing some just like...
08:50 [Music]
08:58 Just kidding.
08:59 Just diminished shit on the front, bending it out, barring it up, echoing it, what not.
09:04 All the bass things going on, then it kicks into...
09:06 [Music]
09:10 That whole thing as opposed to...
09:12 [Music]
09:16 It's just a loose chug again, loose fucking, kind of sludgy fucking grungy fucking chug.
09:23 [Music]
09:24 Across all four strings.
09:26 [Music]
09:31 Total diminished walk up, but a full slide on each one.
09:34 Starting on the G note or the third fret.
09:36 [Music]
09:56 [Music]

10:26 [Music]
10:35 Lead, let's check it out.
10:37 [Music]
10:49 Catching it.
10:50 Got to cut the bends off at the right spot, you know, to play it right.
10:53 [Music]
11:05 Dude, we've been up for like 48 hours and that doesn't make any excuses.
11:13 But dude, you had to have it and it's 9 o'clock in the morning and you're getting it, so just deal with it.
11:20 Rock on brother, I'll be there to light your cholesterol level another 14 notches up high.
11:25 Check it out, get your boom.
11:27 [Music]
11:31 Coming at you.
11:32 [Music]
11:49 [Music]
11:58 I'll tell you, he's a good pipe.

12:10 He's out.
12:11 [Music]
12:17 Back to the full range.
12:18 Woo! Smoker.
12:21 Morning.
12:22 Nicholas, Diamond here, coming out of the fog.
12:25 Got to let you know, that's one of the all time worst instructional videos that you're ever going to get.
12:30 But, had to have it, so you got what you get man.
12:34 And deal with it when I get there.
12:35 Anything that's missing that we got to pick up on, we'll go over it.
12:38 You know we'll have a good time and you know that cholesterol is going through the fucking roof.
12:42 My blood pressure is going to pop and we're going down.
