    You know what man, i first discovered Chimaira in 2003 when the The Impossibility of Reason was released. I used to go to my local music store and listen to it in my lunch break for nearly a month waiting for my pay check until the guy behind the counter told me i couldn't listen to it any more in the store and Id have to buy it. 2 days later I finally got my monthly pay check and had the CD in my car on repeat for nearly 4 months. I didn't listen to anything else. All my Slayer and Sepultura etc all took a back seat. Your Riffs were the thing that got me soo pumped. When Chimaira came out in 2005 I instantly spent 4 days trying to work out "Save ourselves" as that was the first track on that album that initially stood out. I interestingly got it pretty close to what you play actually except I didn't realize you guys were in Drop C where i figured it all out in C Std.
    Rob, you are the man and every time I get into that rut, i just pick up my axe that tuned to C and listen to your channel and instantly the juices start flowing again. This video is no different.
    Thanks for the years of inspiration and absolute quality riffage.

    Rob, you made me pick up guitar back in the days. Hearing the self titled album was a new experience for me, that just blew my mind. Have never heared something like that before. When I had the skills, I barely had to learn the rythm parts because they were already burned into my brain. Never had that again with any other artist or album. Guess thats pure love ❤

    Head bangers ball old school. Out of the three amps I's have to go with amp 2 and my reason for that is I liked the tune of the crunch channel. It gives the guitar sound a little boost. Which would suit the way I would like an amp to sound. So thank you showing me what the crunch channel sounds like Rob.

      @RobArnoldWorld  Рік тому +1

      @@meshuggener667 Honestly you're probably fine with what you're using, but if you're ready to take it to the next level, then a decent set of studio monitors is always a great addition to your setup.
      Just like an expensive stereo system usually sounds better and richer than a cheap boom box, nice monitors will help your music sound better in many ways.
      But also keep in mind that monitors are just one component of your setup. For instance, if you want to trick out your car for better speed and handling, just putting an upgraded exhaust system on it won't make all the difference. You've got to think about the engine, and the tires, and the suspension... etc.
      So I recommend thinking about your system as a whole, and upgrading all you can little by little, without putting all your eggs in one basket.
      That said, new monitors is in fact a great place to start!
      Here are the monitors I use, and have used for years! imp.i114863.net/DynaudioBM5mkIII
      Next or simultaneously, you'll want to think about your interface. And here's a great article on that: imp.i114863.net/interfacebuyersguide
