what's up everybody and welcome back to
my youtube channel in today's video i'm
really
excited to teach you how to play obey from
bring me the horizon the new single came
out yesterday and it's an absolute
banger i absolutely love it and in case
you missed my previous video
i've been teaching how to play
parasite eve as well so
just gonna link it somewhere here in
case you want to
learn as well and before this video
starts
make sure to destroy the like button
because it helps
the youtube algorithm to promote the
video and it's i hope it will help
a lot of people so without being said
let's move on to the video here we go
all right so the first part that we're
gonna we're gonna see together
is obviously the intro and this riff is
absolutely amazing so let me show you
how it goes
so it's pretty easy the tuning for
this song is supposed to be a c sharp
standard but
i'm using my seven string because i
don't have any guitar with a c sharp
standard
so i'm using a drop a sharp but you can
do it on any tuning as long as you've
got the c-sharp notes
so yeah if you've got the seven-string
guitar do it on drop a sharp it doesn't
make any difference
at least that's what i think maybe
they're using just
extra notes or something like that but i
don't think it will
bother if you want to do a cover or
something so
what i play in this song is pretty
pretty easy so it's gonna be based on
the sixth fret
and it goes like
okay so it goes
and it goes only like this
uh
and that's that's basically the main
riff of the song and
they're using it most of the time
everywhere
except on the chorus and uh i think
pre-choruses yeah pre-chorus as well
they're using it on the breakdown but
they're using different variation but i
will show you later on so make sure
to stick around yeah so the main you you
will repeat
this riff
six times so you just do it six times in
a row
and then on the last part we'll add the
first fret
well the yeah the first first notes
first fret
on the a sharp string and the fourth one
and you're just gonna play like some
up and down stroke which is eighth notes
on the first one for one bar
and then the fourth one on one bar as
well so it goes like
so if you play all together really
slowly it goes
very simple and then this is the first
part
and now let's move on to the verse
on the on the first part what you're
gonna do you're gonna repeat
the same uh first riff as we've seen
previously on the intro
but you're gonna hold the six frets
here the fifth one sorry
and then what you're gonna do second
fret of the a
of the e it's actually an fret
and then on the next part which is the
third part let's say
you'll repeat repeat this so it goes
and then on this part you will strum
four times
on the third fret of the f string and
then you will go to the sixth
fret of the b string sorry and it goes
then you start again the main riff
then you repeat this whole part fourth
time
and then on the last bit before hitting
the chorus what you're gonna do you're
just gonna strum
eight times the first note the first
fret
of the b and f string and you just
permute eight times
and then we can move on to the chorus
so this is how you can play the chorus
so just for a quick disclaimer
i just picked up the the song by ear so
i don't have
all the notes right but as i said
earlier if you want to make like a cover
or just having fun you can literally do
it and it works perfectly
so on the chorus what um what i'm
strumming so
you just trim eight times pretty much
everything so you
first
third okay
then you just repeat the the main riff
that you you've seen previously
on the intro so to do it really slow it
goes first
six
eight first
okay
and then you can play the main riff
again and then on the next part we've
got the second verse with
the amazing young bloods and
you don't really have a guitar part on
this except
on the following thing that's what i
call the build up
and what they do they're literally just
playing the main intro riff
and that's it for this part it's pretty
easy so you've got
the singing part from youngblood who's
who does pretty much like
let's say half a verse and then you've
got the buildup who carries on from the
verse but
let's call it a build up so we can call
this the build up
and then just before moving on to the
the chorus what they do by the end is
same as previously but i'm pretty sure
you knew it already right
and then the next part will go to the
chorus
so the chorus will be played exactly the
same as before
so just
so
and now we can move on to the pre
breakdown the build up before the
breakdown and what they do is really
easy
three four one two
three four one
two three four one
two three four
and then they go smashing the breakdown
so
now let me show you how to play the
breakdown
pretty much it's pretty hard to play it
without any click
or without any songs so uh yeah without
any songs so apologies for the mistakes
but
if i do it really slow you just pick up
the same riff
as the beginning and then you just play
it four times
then you've got a small variation here
where you can put
the third finger on the fifth fret of
the
b string and then you go on the sixth
round string
so
if you do it really slow
so this is the first part and then on
the second part what you're gonna do
you're gonna do
for four times so
and then on the so you repeat this three
times sorry not four times three times
and then
so
and then you repeat the first part so to
be more clear
what you're gonna do you repeat the
first riff of the intro
so
and this is how you can play the
breakdown so
to do it on the regular speed
this is how you can play the breakdown
so
just if you if you work on this make
sure to listen carefully on the song to
make sure that you're
really on point and also it's a little
bit tricky on this part because it's
pretty hard to remember i don't know i
don't know how to explain but it's
pretty hard to
to remember but uh just practice
slowly and you will you will have it and
now
we've got another builder before the
last
chorus and it goes like this
so really easy and one cool effect that
you can add
you can add like a small lo-fi clean
overdrive sound and you will get pretty
much exactly the same
as the original sound but for the
purpose of the video i'm going to show
you in the regular distortion because
otherwise you're
not going to be able to hear properly
and i really want you to learn this song
because it's a banger
and if you enjoyed this video so far
don't forget to destroy the
like button as i said earlier that would
be great that would be really helpful
and if you don't understand one part let
me know in the comment section i would
be
really happy to help you out so on this
section what we're gonna see
is it's gonna be eight chug
so one one bar eight no eight notes
and then we're just gonna switch notes
in between so it goes
from
except on this part
and then it goes again on the um
chorus and you just miss the last
uh offbeat from the from this section
because they're doing like a small break
and it's just the eighth notes
that you have to mute so it goes
and then it goes again on the final
chorus that you
know already because you're amazing to
watch this video
thank you so much um and then on the
final
um section of this song what we're gonna
learn is
it's well the the next section of this
song
will be the last uh last riff and it's
exactly the same as the intro
so it goes
and then they're just doing a slide so
you can repeat the same
riff as the intro and then by the end
you just do a slide
the drummer is doing a call with like a
small snare feel
i think it's a it's only with snares
well with
with a snare and yeah you will you can
make it
so i hope you guys enjoyed this video
