It’s fantastic that Mike chose to play Rule of Nines. It was an absolute crime that it didn’t make their first album! Also some absolutely stellar guitar work🤘🏽
It’s not on the album because it was released as a part of the singles collection. Would’ve been weird to include a single on an album that are two years apart.
@@Martin2k17Nah re-releasing old songs packaged as a “deluxe edition” is just a gross cash grab. If you’re gonna do a deluxe edition, add new material and don’t re-package old stuff.
That red guitar with the black trim is straight up fucking fire. I have all the wants. The new Spiritbox ep is killer too, shame it wasn’t a full album but you cannot deny the quality of the songwriting, hard to pick a favourite currently.
Epic, Holy Roller was the very first song I heard by Spiritbox, absolute banger and I love it so much and Rule of Nines was the second song I heard, Blessed Be was the third song, Blessed Be and Rule of Nines have a special place in my heart forever, it was these epic songs that got me hooked on Spiritbox… And I would have loved for Rule of Nines and Blessed Be to have been included on Eternal Blue, I love all their songs, amazing band…
To the guys at Jackson, you guys manage to wow everyone, no matter what age you’re in. Mike, phenomenal guitar, and that music making is out of this world, man. You two should colas more often, we need more of this shit 🤘
I guess he's a kind of a "multiendorser", since he's still a household name for Aristides Guitars (even getting recently a multiscale with an Evertune-based bridge).
@@hatempireJackson being an “Everymans” brand and Aris. Being more of a boutique custom brand. They really don’t compete much over market share. You can get Jackson’s at any price range, Aris you are hardly getting anything under 2k USD.
all of these guitars are beautiful as hell but the multiscale is fucking GORGEOUS also though why would the cameraman blue ball me at 3:08 right when that tapping lick gets extra spicy, you absolute monster
Mike Stringer is absolutley phenomenal! And the gold sparkle will be mine one day soon. Oh yes, it will be mine! Lol. Keep kicking serious ass mike! Your music is amazing! Listen to it every day
THIS IS THE BANGER ! Congratulations Michael on the Jackson video , you are always looking good as well ; you handsome tight ass man. YO THOSE GUITARS are getting broke !!! And are real nice! love your style , much love . Hugh jackman 🙌
Hell yeah, that was cool. It's hard to hear some of these riffs under all the layering and whatnot, some cool riffs for sure. Def didn't expect the tapping either.
would love to start playing some Spiritbox tunes but with my Helix Stomp I cant get a nice tight djent tone, it sounds so noisy, I tried using low again and many other combination of noise gates and low cuts, but everything sounds terrible.
No need for an 9 string. Drop F# then pitch shift down 1 octave when needed. On his signature plugin (Mixwave spiritbox), there is a preset for that song.
@@TetraVaalBioSecurity I guess you're talking about that Aristides 9 string that even Beana had in custody for some time. The more probable is that the low string was tuned to either C#1 or B0. So I guess he still had to pitch shift down to F#. My other guess is that it sounded better to pitch shift down 5 semi tones rather than 1 octave on his 7 string drop F#. Now I'm curious and I will compare both !
Thank you guys for the video, but could you please pass a message to Mike that I'm desperately waiting for the Instrumental collection of Spiritbox songs? Please, I really need it asap😭
@@Eyeyamgod in playthroughs you usually don’t have all these cuts and the focus is on what he’s playing, for example the fretting hand. Not on the guitar itself and not from behind the guitar. Mike is a beast so I’m saying I just wanna see him play and that would make me want the guitar sigs. Not this approach as much
Crazy how quickly he switches between guitars without missing a beat… flawless
A truly talented musician
They are the same guitar, he's actually painting them, switching bridges and pickups.
@@darrenleary8629 My man Martin Luthier King Jr. up in here
He repaints it per switch, truly talented Flash IRL character
Ikr wow he’d have to throw em to the roadie pretty quick🤯
It's time for stringing... and then some strumming... and then some stringing and more strumming.

@@CrzyWzrd4Lcould have made deluxe edition with this, Blessed be and a third track as Holly Roller demo perhaps or a live-track
@@Martin2k17Nah re-releasing old songs packaged as a “deluxe edition” is just a gross cash grab. If you’re gonna do a deluxe edition, add new material and don’t re-package old stuff.
Bruh it didn’t fit the album
@CrzyWzrd4L nah it was a b side from Eternal Blue, just like Blessed Be
The chorus is so deceptively intricate. You don’t realize how crazy it is under Courtney’s vocals.
I was literally just thinking that!
Mike is a songwriting beast without the need to shred like crazy (and he totally can do it if he wants).
stealth prog
Same with the Blessed Be playthrough. So much good stuff that gets lost in the full mix
@hatempire dude nerfs himself with this band, its a shame
Mike's got his own vibe for sure
Always fun to hear all the little guitar touches hiding in the full tracks
These fucking guitars are beyond amazing and Mike has the precision of a Swiss watch and elegant playing style of a ballet dancer
Please give Mike creative control over Jackson's modern guitar line up. There isn't a Jackson he's had that hasn't has me GASSED.
Yeah, but we need a six
@@feedthewolf6930 He has some beautiful Aristides 6es
@@Trennie18 I'm not in the Artistides price range quite yet lol.

It's time for riffing and then some cleaning. And then more riffing and more cleaning.
Not everyone will get it but I did !
@@didtoknan8128I get it it’s from Courtney one take of this song
Came here to make this reference, but knew in my heart it had already been done
You did it.
He deed it
Good God, I freaking cant get enough of that Tesseract sound. Beautiful

They managed to completely make those Aristides disappear. Some straight up David Copperfield master class trickery type stuff 😳
To this day, possibly favorite Spiritbox song
Dude is Mike officially endorsed by Jackson now? I think Mike is one of the most inspirational guitarists of the current wave. Sounds amazing.
He has been for a year or so
I guess he's a kind of a "multiendorser", since he's still a household name for Aristides Guitars (even getting recently a multiscale with an Evertune-based bridge).
@@hatempire ok I was wondering if he was done with them. I haven’t tried the evertune yet, definitely on my list.

@@Return2TheLiving nice business insight, thank you! With that info, seems even more reasonable to have both brands being fine with it
this man is totally insane in the best way possible
This is so sick. First song I ever heard from Spiritbox.
Glad to see the OG 5153 50 getting some love. I feel like the stealth 50 has been the only one people care about for ages. Sounds killer.
Breathtakingly beautiful 😻
One of the best guitarists and songwriters there is!
all of these guitars are beautiful as hell but the multiscale is fucking GORGEOUS
also though why would the cameraman blue ball me at 3:08 right when that tapping lick gets extra spicy, you absolute monster
A wizard and an absolute Lord
what a riff. love his playing.
I saw mike play way back when he played with fall in archaea, I knew he was built different
Mike is super talented
Dude the way he plays is just so damn cool
underrated guitarist since fall of archaea
If he stuck to shit like that, I highly doubt he'd be so underrated today
So beautiful by itself. Such a creative musician.
Mike the GOAT
Mike Stringer is absolutley phenomenal! And the gold sparkle will be mine one day soon. Oh yes, it will be mine! Lol. Keep kicking serious ass mike! Your music is amazing! Listen to it every day
Im LOVING all these playthroughs!
Dude had to play this so many times for all the guitar changes lol 🤘
mike is a legend
Thank you Mike always was curious how my favorite spiritbox song's guitar work was done. With only one axe too!
It's good that the commercial brands are starting to look at the future of modern metal !
Mike is a goat on the strings bro
Love that intro riff. so simple but just rips. Possibly my fave from Mike
Mike is my hero right now
THIS IS THE BANGER ! Congratulations Michael on the Jackson video , you are always looking good as well ; you handsome tight ass man. YO THOSE GUITARS are getting broke !!! And are real nice! love your style , much love . Hugh jackman 🙌
The orange Jackson....♥️
Such a juicy riff
Sick guitars and this song is always amazing to hear and see Mike play.
i love the tone and the guitar switching
Full Range 20 Stars on a 5 Star Scale.
D**n!
lov'n the edits.🤘🤘
He did it
That gold sparkle! 🤤😍🔥
Turns out João Medeiros played it perfectly. Such a beautiful song
Awesome, I love those 7 string riffs. I wish they had more lessons on them though. Thanks
Mike Stringer is really a stringer on how he bends those strings!
So cool man ,thankyou Mike
Courtney - "Hell yeah that's MY MAN!"🖤🖤
Hell yeah, that was cool. It's hard to hear some of these riffs under all the layering and whatnot, some cool riffs for sure. Def didn't expect the tapping either.
I like that sunburst....
amazing clean tones!
Makes me miss Fall in Archaea everytime I hear em.
If Diablo was a guitarist, I can see him sitting on his throne/bed jamming this. Hail the Lord of Hatred. He'd name this tune: Tristram's downfall.
Sick dude, sick mix.
Badass
The Riff Machine!!!
Which guitar would you like sir?... All OF THEM!!
Makes me proud to own a Jackson, albeit a pretty cheap one! Have a JS30RR
Please do a play through of Hysteria.
I knew exactly how it was going to sound without even seeing the video
I am a great magician
YOUR GUITAR IS RED NOW
As much as I love Courtney, Spiritbox should drop instrumental versions of their albums as well.
awesome!!
The blue guitar is smexyyy I want
So, that Mike Stringer signature Jackson is coming any day now, right? *wink wink*
🤘🏻🔥
:50 sounds good bro
Time for some shredding, and then some chugging, and then more shredding.
Ok but those guitar transitions were just as clean as the playing
would love to start playing some Spiritbox tunes but with my Helix Stomp I cant get a nice tight djent tone, it sounds so noisy, I tried using low again and many other combination of noise gates and low cuts, but everything sounds terrible.
Lower the gain by a lot. Use a compressor.
That gold sparkle.... 0 __ 0
When's the signature guitar coming out? 6 string, volume knob as far away from the bridge as possible and no tone lol. Great playing as always!
What's the name of the red with black trim model?
Rule of Nines
What pedals are you using?
Come on Jackson, all these 7 strings models and not even one available for lefties.. if Schecter and LTD can do it, there is no reason you can't
Can anyone tell me what pickups he’s using
What pickups does Mike generally use?!
Mainly Fishman Fluence. Modern and Open Core (the blade ones) seems to be their usuals at the moment
This is a positive comment. You remind me of Jesse cash.
Didn't know that Vettel plays a guitar.)
Jaw, meet floor.
"...i did it..."
Goddamn
Anyone know the tuning
Make this man a custom 9-string so we can get a proper playthrough for Rotoscope.
No need for an 9 string. Drop F# then pitch shift down 1 octave when needed. On his signature plugin (Mixwave spiritbox), there is a preset for that song.
@@didtoknan8128 Serious Q, why write and record the song on a 9-string to begin with if he could do that in the first place?

It's you Sam Winchester the hero of Metal 😅
A play through where you barely get to see him playing instead it’s just an ad for Jackson guitars.
You literally see him playing through the whole thing.....

It's almost like this video is on the Jackson page 🤯
@@drdoom8793 they still called it a playthrough.
proof that all guitars sound the same
They probably used one guitar for the track.
Proof that UA-cam commenters have no ears apparently
When did Sebastian Vettel pick up a guitar?
It’s like a student of Steph carpenter evolved into the master.
у джексана и фендара качество гитар оставляет желать лучшего, а так смотрится круто)
Jackson guitars are capable of a lot of things but I didn’t know shapeshifting was one of them.
Thumb up for Mike, thumb down for the video.
He just wanted to flex all of his guitars for this video
Go back to the Fall in Archaea days please
