He's not underrated at all to true experienced guitarists and musicians who know and hear his talents. He's got so many true fans and followers and influenced so many up and coming musicians, myself included.
Wes is still one of my favorite guitarists from the whole Nu Metal era. He was one of the guitarists that inspired me to pick up the guitar in first place. His transitions from clean to heavy groovy riffs are so incredible. Limp Bizkit was my favorite band ever in my early teen years. Although I don`t love them as much as I used to, the "Chocolate Starfish..." album will always have a special place in my heart❤. And I still think that Limp Bizkit is getting WAAAAY too much hate😒
Something thats often overlooked is despite how great Wes is as a player its how he writes parts that work in conjunction with Sam Rivers bass parts that really make the magic happen, the interplay between the two is phenomenal
You nailed it. Sam and John are super important to what Limp Bizkit creates. It most definitely takes the sum of all the parts to really create the magic. I agree fully. Thanks for checking it out. 🤘😎
@@blackoutstudiospei along those lines Pantera would be a great one as well, dimebag didn’t have very many clean riffs but the ones he did have were cool 🤘
Wes does tend to get a lot of credit, and he should, but Sam gets overlooked in a big way. He's a great player and his bass parts are so important to the sound of LB.
Good god, Re-Arranged was sick, man! That tapping, so creative. I played some Limp Bizkit lately, and posted the "high part" of It'll Be Okay in my channel.
It seems impossible to say he's this kind of player, or that kind of player. He truely created his own sound, which is amazing enough, but adding his love of art, special effects, and costume/character design into the mix is such a pure way really makes appreciate that this is a genius artist putting it out there in a way that is 100% him.
This was such a pleasure to listen to and watch. Such nostalgia. Excellent work. I love the My Way solo so much. Re-arranged is so genius, but slightly simple. Wes is so intelligent. You forgot "Don't Go Off Wandering" 😜 I love The One also... one of my favorite tracks ever.
Wes is a unique player in a good way. He, Rivers and Otto can lay some really sick clean instrumentals. Rivers is also extremely talented, because he always compliments Wes's weird playing instead of following with some simple basslines.
Sam Rivers is such a huge part to the sound of LB. If you dive into what he plays, the number of incredible bass riffs is large. Thanks for the great comment!
Thanks for watching everyone. These videos are a lot of fun to make. I'd love to hear your band/ artist suggestions. Leave them in the comments. Subscribe For More Guitar Content youtube.com/@blackoutstudiospei
@@thesickness619 Sure, I will do my best. It's been a while. Counterfeit - C# Standard Hot Dog - C# Standard Livin' It Up - C# Standard My Way - C# Standard Re-Arranged - C# Standard Take A Look Around - C# Standard No Sex - Drop D It'll Be Ok - C# Standard The One - (Custom 4 string - e B F# F#) I believe i played it in C# Hold On - Eb Standard
Wes это один из тех кто сподвиг меня заниматься гитарой и музыкой. Не выкладываю так как занимаюсь для себя. Но Вес навсегда в сердце и кончиках пальцев.
Awesome video mate, personally I think that Wes couldn't have done all this weird experimental stuff if it wasn't for Sam Rivers being an incredibly good bassist that knew how to hold down a groove while keeping open the sonic landscape for Wes.
You are absolutely correct. Sam is so incredibly underrated. He's always been one of my favorite bass players. It takes each musician, put together to really create something great. Thanks for the great comment. 🤘😎
This was rad. Outstanding job my friend, we fellow Shred Heads Salute you 🫡.🎸🤘Also a beautiful PRS, fellow PRS Shred’r. Borland’s Cleans are perfect. I recommend doing a follow up, plenty more clean tones. Such as from the EP with Wes, then Gold Cobra especially; plenty of clean tones including on the bonus tracks. Then cool ass ones off LB Still Sucks. Respects 🤘🎸🤘
Nice demo of all those cool riffs. Now I just have to figure out how to set me DL-8 pedal to get a similar sound. Is it basically the same type of delay in most of those intros?
Hot Dog needs more Q and the delay set to 440ms. Livin it up riff is missing some notes. No sex has too much Q. The One tone is very nice, but also needs delay set to 440ms. Hold On is on spot. Good job but a bit room for improvement ;)
The only thing I think you should work on is the timing. Part of what Wes defines clearly as a guitarist is the fact that he is very precise on the riffing and the timing, always on the beat, and he does all that like, moving his body all around. This could be an improvement, but you did great
It would be difficult to actually pick one as "better." They were both incredibly creative guitarists, but certainly have different styles. Wes of course was the only guitarist in LB, where Head was one half of a duo with Munky. What do you think? 🤔
That is an awesome riff, I agree. I think the majority are in C# standard, as that was a Wes staple. There could be a couple in there that are different, but it's been a while so I really would have to revisit. 🤘
Wes always had a giant pedalboard. Loads of delays and other fun things. I don't have the effects set up just like his, but this did the job for this riff video. Thanks for watching! 🤘😁
3$BY & a little of Significant Other had Wes's tapping & introduction to the Bass/guitar thing that is NOT a tenor but after Chocolate Starfish up until present he Floyd rose'd out of his damn gord.
That 4 string thing was pretty interesting, and you are absolutely on point. Once he started using that Floyd, he REALLY wailed on that thing. HoT Dog is a prime example. 🤘
Wes is kind of an underrated guitarist honestly. He doesn't try too hard and he has fun with it which leads to interesting results.
Agreed! Thanks so much for checking it out!!
He's not underrated at all to true experienced guitarists and musicians who know and hear his talents. He's got so many true fans and followers and influenced so many up and coming musicians, myself included.
Wes is one of my favorite guitarists of all time, and underrated af
frusciante-esque
Kinda?
Brother Wes pushed guitar playing to the maximum and you won't sse anything like it ever again. He's alien.
I'd have to agree with you! Well said!!🤘😎

Well said! Very similar story here also. Thanks for checking out the video, I appreciate it. 🤘😎
I totally agree. Always thought Wes was way underrated.
Wes was the sound.
He comes up with some amazing stuff, that's for sure! 🤘
Hard to say that, the bass and drums were pretty crucial for the sound too
Fred is cool too
Something thats often overlooked is despite how great Wes is as a player its how he writes parts that work in conjunction with Sam Rivers bass parts that really make the magic happen, the interplay between the two is phenomenal
You nailed it. Sam and John are super important to what Limp Bizkit creates. It most definitely takes the sum of all the parts to really create the magic. I agree fully. Thanks for checking it out. 🤘😎
I agree
Yup, Rivers and Otto definitely set up the bases for the songs and Wes and Lethal add the rest.
Super creative an original but simple at the same time. Love it.
Wes has a cool style, that's for sure! Thanks for watching! 🤘😎
Man his creativity is legendary!!! Got to be one of the best!!! In my eyes he is amazing!!
You're certainly not wrong! 😉 Thanks so much for checking it out! 🤘😎
Underappreciated riffs!
Wes is such a creative player.
WES BORLAND is one of the 10 most creative guitarists of the world's music HISTORY FOR ME.
YES I SAID IT! 👆🏻
This guy is a genius. Period.
It's all about the riff. Very memorable. Thanks so much for watching. 🤘😎
I agree!
Without effects it doesn’t sound that good imo.
My way is similar to Panteras outro from Floods
This sounds very Bucketheadish
@@rafaelcortezifysure because effects are part of his sound
This was excellent, nicely done. Wes has created some of the most memorable guitar parts.
Thanks for the kind words! I agree, Wes is extremely creative. It's difficult to do as he would do it. 🤘😎
Clean as a whistle my man 🔥
Thanks dude! I appreciate you checking it out!
If you're thinking of making this a series, I'd absolutely love to hear some sweet Opeth clean riffs. 🔥🔥
That's a great idea! I appreciate the suggestion! 🤘😎
@@blackoutstudiospei along those lines Pantera would be a great one as well, dimebag didn’t have very many clean riffs but the ones he did have were cool 🤘
@@bauerca3263 You are absolutely correct. Great suggestion. 🤘
Loved the riffs! Your close ups were great! Nice guitar! Great playing!🤘🏼
I appreciate the kind words. Thanks for checking it out. 🤘😎
His guitar & River's bass is a match made in heaven. Just like Matt Osman & Richard Oakes of Suede or Tom Morello & Tim Commerford of RATM
Wes does tend to get a lot of credit, and he should, but Sam gets overlooked in a big way. He's a great player and his bass parts are so important to the sound of LB.
Good god, Re-Arranged was sick, man! That tapping, so creative.
I played some Limp Bizkit lately, and posted the "high part" of It'll Be Okay in my channel.
I just had a look! Great job man! 🤘
The clean stuff is where Wes really shines as a guitarist.

Allways love Wes clean's!
I fully agree. One of my favorites! 🤘
@@blackoutstudiospei he influenced me a lot on my playing and in the use of delays
@@cigano666 Also a huge influence in that dept for me as well. Always loved that sound. Delay is fun!
Thank you for this!
Quality, thank you.
You almost forget how classic some of these riffs are
There are so many!! Maybe a part 2 sometime... 🤔 . Thanks so much for watching! 🤘

Perfect!
Thanks, I appreciate that. 🤘

крутейший гитарист,частенько слушаю минуса лимп бискит и вслушиваюсь именно в гитару,звучит охренительно!
For my opinion wesborland is number 1 for me
Me too
Awesome man!
Thanks dude. I really appreciate that! 🤘
Incredible melodic and fun to play, he is a child in his 6 strings sandbox ❤❤

Great video. Great Playing. I just want to add that I don't think you can count Take A Look Around, since it's basically the Mission Impossible theme.
True, but you have to admit it sure is a cool riff when Wes plays it! Thanks for watching. 🤘😎
It’ll be ok is the best!
Oh hell yeah!!
sonically bizkit needed no more guitar, the ability to blend in and play in the pocket is the magic
I agree completely, well said! 🤘😎
Awesome!

Awesome!
Thanks for watching! I truly appreciate it! 🤘
Where's the guy that says Wes was an underrated guitarist?
not bad) but Wes`s delays are more complex and you should work on your time feel)Good luck!
Thanks for the tip. Not trying to be Wes, that's for sure. Just jamming through some cool riffs. 🤘
What’s the effect in No Sex????? Phaser?????
I'm not sure what exactly Wes was using in the original, but I put a bit of auto wah on there.
@@blackoutstudiospei it must have been his EHX Q-Tron auto Wah that’s always on his pedalboards, I thought it was either an auto Wah or a phase 90
Wish he did more clean stuff.
Played this way they sound like great showgaze riffs
loved this!!! strings looks super heavy, what gauge are you using?
Great eye! The gauge is .014 - .068 on a 27.7" scale baritone. Thanks for taking the time to check it out. 🤘😎
@@blackoutstudiospei nice!! I’ve been debating getting a 7 string or a baritone.
Nice demo of all those cool riffs. Now I just have to figure out how to set me DL-8 pedal to get a similar sound. Is it basically the same type of delay in most of those intros?
I didn't really try to match exact delays with these ones, so the delays on the actual songs will be different. Thanks for checking it out! 🤘
Wes the best on the world
Wes borland 🖤 💀 🎸 love him
🤘😎
Hot Dog needs more Q and the delay set to 440ms. Livin it up riff is missing some notes. No sex has too much Q. The One tone is very nice, but also needs delay set to 440ms. Hold On is on spot.
Good job but a bit room for improvement ;)
Great points. Maybe I'll do a video dialing in actual tones sometime. Could be fun. Thanks for checking it out.
Wow, you are so talentous!
Thanks so much for the kind words!!
He sounds very inspired by ‘floods’
The only thing I think you should work on is the timing. Part of what Wes defines clearly as a guitarist is the fact that he is very precise on the riffing and the timing, always on the beat, and he does all that like, moving his body all around.
This could be an improvement, but you did great

Show !!!
Who is the best wes borland or head
It would be difficult to actually pick one as "better." They were both incredibly creative guitarists, but certainly have different styles. Wes of course was the only guitarist in LB, where Head was one half of a duo with Munky. What do you think? 🤔
I think “it’ll be ok” is one of his greatest clean riffs. And are all these in C# standard?
That is an awesome riff, I agree. I think the majority are in C# standard, as that was a Wes staple. There could be a couple in there that are different, but it's been a while so I really would have to revisit. 🤘
He like those Sus chords .
🥰🥰👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😊
Wes Borland isa genius
❤️🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶❤️
What guage are they, look like Bass 6 strings.
Guitar is a baritone. The gauge is .014 - .068. 🤘
Can I have the backing tracks please ?
is there melodic parts of wes...?
For me hot dog ...
You better check yourself Before you WRECK yourself 💔 💯
Are all the same tuning? C# standard?
The majority are. No Sex might be drop D....🤔.
@blackoutstudiospei thanks!!
how much limp bizkit changes for the worse without the proper drum sound. John Otto was pure fire in his prime
I couldn't agree more. Those grooves were so catchy. Every member brought something special to the band. 🤘
Hasbulla has been talking shit about wes borland!😮
Do one No effects
What kind of effects does he use?
Wes always had a giant pedalboard. Loads of delays and other fun things. I don't have the effects set up just like his, but this did the job for this riff video. Thanks for watching! 🤘😁
By clean you mean non distorted? I heard so many non clean effects
Loved Limp Bizkit since childhood, but man it's a damn shame how many heavenly tunes Fred has ruined :D
😄
Nice, but try this... delay 472ms 1/8D
I may try to do some videos on that at some point. That might be fun. Thanks for the suggestion!!
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
3$BY & a little of Significant Other had Wes's tapping & introduction to the Bass/guitar thing that is NOT a tenor but after Chocolate Starfish up until present he Floyd rose'd out of his damn gord.
That 4 string thing was pretty interesting, and you are absolutely on point. Once he started using that Floyd, he REALLY wailed on that thing. HoT Dog is a prime example. 🤘
Not bad, but there is a lot wrong with this. For starters the volume of the delays need to be a bit louder.
I appreciate the feedback! This one was meant to just focus on riffs, however you just might be on to something for another one. 😉
Before making such a video, learn the tablature
Just gotta chill some that delay a tad
Техника хромает, но снято красиво, лайк)
Fyi. You wont be able to play any of these without delay and it sound right
Delaynya kurang boss
Tuning?
Which song?
Timing’s a bit off here and there, but good job nonetheless. Cool riffs.
Thanks for checking it out!
