    This is one of my favorite AILD songs. The song is not terribly difficult, but there are some tricky parts. There is a fast pull-off run in the chorus that I found somewhat tough to get clean, and other parts require very steady fast alternate picking, which is one of my weaknesses. Also, there is quite a bit of finger tapping in the song, so I had to break my bad habit of tapping with my index finger. After several painful days of tapping with my middle finger, I finally developed a callus! The solo involves a sweep tap, which is a technique I had never attempted before learning this song. Its a bit sloppy in places, but I'm tired of practicing the song over and over again (and so is my wife!), so here it is!
    I transcribed it by ear, and my Guitar Pro file is now available on my website (see link below). If you don't have Guitar Pro, please read the information about TuxGuitar on my website. The tuning is DROP D. Most songs on the album "An Ocean Between Us" are in drop C, but NOT THIS ONE.
    As usual I am recording directly to my computer using my relatively new Line 6 POD X3. I created a custom dual tone trying to get close to AILDs sound on this song. Its a blend of the Line 6 Modern High Gain (Soldano X88R) and the Treadplate 2001 (Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier). I will put the tone file on my website shortly so anyone with a POD X3 can use it.

    I remember the first time I was ever introduced to As I Lay Dying.. It was when I was scrolling UA-cam in early 2009... I came across some guy that appeared to have this look of a polo shirt rocking an Signature Kirk Hammett ESP guitar and I was like... OHHH.. This is going to be interesting.. To my surprise, the guy who dressed like my dad years ago was slaying it. I am here 13 years later to thank you for introducing me to As I Lay Dying and inspiring me to want to play guitar. Thank you for your shredding and I love your two OG original songs. Arrival and The Rising. :)

    You're so talented man, I remember watching your covers in high school. In my opinion they are still some of the best on youtube. Think about coming back one day.
