August Burns Red - Back Burner (JB Brubaker's Playthrough) 

0:52 sick stage dive cat.

This whole album was like daily guitar practice for me 7 yrs ago. This band made me a better guitar player.

0:37 The cat puts his fist out to feel the range of the pit for that breakdown! 0:55 The cat goes in for the circle pit! This cat really knows the parts of the song well.

RELEASE ALL OF ABRS ALBUMS IN INSTRUMENTAL I PROMISE WE WILL PURCHASE THEM THIS IS A MUST!

Didn't realize Jake was so good at guitar.

Messengers changed my life in high school.

If only you could possibly convince Matt to do these too...

Every thing these guys do is gold, but this album in particular makes me want to spin kick my couch through the wall. Every time I listen to it in it's entirety I count my security deposit on my apartment as lost.

I've seen ABR 7 times and y'all have closed with Back Burner 2 times and both times the sky came crashing down. This song is too good not to be played last. Please bring it back!

His picking hand always amaze me.

Cat just chillin.

That cat chilling in the back is such a metalhead

Watching these playthroughs makes me realize how wrong every tab I've learned is

I will never forget the first time I heard this song. 2009. Bullet For My Valentine was my favorite band until the moment this song came on and then my world of music changed forever. I genuinely thank you and every other member of ABR for being such amazing musicians for so many years. Please keep going!

This breakdown popped my Metalcore cherry.

The cat in the back is perfect.

The cats just like wtf is going on 🤣🤣

Pretty decent cover. If they need to replace JB , this guy should replace him.

JB looks the same age as when this song came out! Killer riffs all these years later. Thanks for doing these playthrough'. Cheers from Cornwall, just up north on 72!

Now I realize I’ve been playing a few parts wrong for years 😂😂😂😂

This is so fun to play

My favorite song ever written. 🫡

The flick of the wrist before the breakdown 😂

These guitar vids have actually been super helpful with trying to learn them

insane

Me: *slips on the ice again

The alternate picking string skipping for his bass notes in between the really high notes a little into the beginning is just too damn impressive

This song is so fun to play. Great cover bro.

I love this man and his cat. And mainly the sick guitar skills.

I just bought the sheet happens book for this album (HIGHLY recommend it) and then watched this. Makes me realize that I had pretty much every note right when playing this, but 100% the wrong positions for damn near every part. I learned by ear and internet tabs and have come to realize how even if you play the right note, it just sounds *slightly* off. Going to have to go back and relearn this now!

Good, now please release the instrumental of this amazing album. This is their best album.

This song is the one that made me know this Band!!!

I’m just pleased as punch to see the cat’s name tag is in the shape of a guitar pick.

one of the most satisfying songs MMMM

Thank u for all your music Watching this play through is just so awesome Iv been watching this and other play throughs over and over for months And just can’t get enough again thank u

I still remember the day this jam dropped.. One of the songs that kept me playing guitar back in high school. Thank you very much, JB ♡

I cant be the only one who screamed NOW right before the breakdown

Nice cover sick ass flannel I love how the cats all chill!

Nice bruh

So sick

Crazy being on the scene and listing to them for years now they are getting to the Middle Aged starting to turn grey stage and still rocking

hi ABR fan here since thrill seeker album 2008 until now😍😍

this made me replay some ABR for breakfast

Do them headbang to JB 😅 cuz this song is 🤘🤘🤘 move our heads n china town.

That riff at 2:17, one of my all time favorites. So fucking nasty

The riff starting at 2:34 is too awesome

Absolute savage!! I still remember trying to play this song....... failed miserably.😅

Great video. Thanks so much! This is the best replacement we can get for not getting any live shows right now. I hope there will be a playthrough for "Truth of a liar". It's such a killer track!

Dude, he uses both index and middle finger when strumming. Dude! There's just no way that we can win, that was a masterpiece. He rocks to hard because he's not a mortal man. Lol.

@0:36 i just realized that thing is alive 🐈‍⬛ 😂

Awesome, one of my favourite songs!

Nice playthrough JB. The rest of the band has to have a sit down to see if you've made the cut but your audition is almost done.

Awesomely entertaining 🤘

lovely!

Jb’ s cat just like nah man I’m out 🤣

yes! so many memories with this song please do more old ones!

Great job!

Ive been playing it wrong for years. Son of a bee sting!

Such a beast !! love it

Phenomenal work on that track bro, super stoked to see this playthrough!

Nice tone man.

Damn Bru. Can I call ya Bru? That was sick 🤟

CAN YOU PLEASE MAKE SOME OFF THRILL SEEKER?! LIKE LITTLE SUBURBIA etc.

Hey man, you're really good! I hear this underground band August Burns Red was looking for a guitarist. You seem like a perfect fit!

0:02 - 0:16 how in the hell does he jump strings so fast?

0:15 . . my favorite setup riff of all time ;)

Mann.. this song definitely should be considered as Deathcore 😂😂 those nonstop blast beat

This song starts off with sick riffs and just goes hard the entire time until the end.

And drop the mike. Here is my FN CAT!!!! Awesome

man this is SO cool. thank you so much for doing that. its such a backflash to when i was trying all day to learn this album. its been such fun. and i can play those songs to this day. ill never forget them :D and its nice to see i got them right for the most parts :D

Still on my top 5 favorites from you guys!! I cannot listen to this song without bangin!! Great play through JB!

of album guardians plsss

yassss

This is the song that got me into metalcore! Seen you guys a couple years ago in Cleveland, fuckin awesome show! How do you pick like that man lol

Alright ima say it can we get the narrative on bass from JB?!

Трек застревает в голове намертво, потом ходишь несколько дней и он даже в тишине в голове ебашит

anybody know what he's playing through?

Anyone else get a Jim Halpert vibe from JB? Lol

Hey ABR guys! First off, thank you for your great work. I love your music, be it the metal songs or the incredibly orgasmic reprise versions you do. BUT: I’ve noticed something really odd about your music when putting “Paramount” into Logic Pro. I wanted to learn that song on guitar by listening. I knew that you are fond of changing the tempo here and there, so I put the mp3 into Logic Pro to look at the BPM rate and mark the spots where it changes up or down by adjusting the tempo timeline, which in turn would change my project BPM, which then in turn would give me an exact click track of the whole song. The result was astonishing: The BPM goes from 160 to 155 at “you have hope”, down to 152 at “don’t bury your ability”, up to 153 at “letting you forget” etc. etc. and obviously a big jump from 160 to 178 at “look past your reflection”. This goes on through the entire song, sometimes with BPM changes as small as 1,2 or 3! Believing this could only be a “once-in-a-bandtime”-thing, I did the same with “Back Burner”. Same result! I was dumbfounded: How are these guys recording their music?? Do they plan out the songs’ BPMs for each of these little fractures and do as I do: set the click track to match the tiny fractures? That surely must be a lot of very precise work. And a very precise intention for the song-fractures must stand behind it all. Wow. Is that it? I’ve never heard of a band who do that. Well: I’ve never heard music like ABR’s music. And now that I’ve looked into this: hell, that’s why all these ABR song’s tempos feel so wobbly! Magic. Plus extra question: So I am turning to you for an answer: Can you explain how you do it? Especially the recording process in regards to click tracks. And: How does that shit work live on stage? I would love that.

 Well. Massive thanks anyways for your unique way of creation. Much love, Ben

2:33

Still the beat song you’ve written imo

11th hour next plz?

What is the tuning?

I remember back in h.s. (10+ years ago) when this video came out. My bass play came over (which he was a prep, unlike the rest of the band), he said "listen to this band bro". My 1st impression by the still frame on the computer screen was: Nooooo!!!! I saw two guys in polo shirts, "surfer" hair, I believe the bass player had rainbow flip flops on 😂. I just knew they were gonna suck. Then he hit play! 🤯 The rest is history🤘🏼. We seen them live. Drove to the city to buy their album when constellations came out. This was also the 1st song of theirs I learned on drums. Followed by Composure. Time flies!!!! Moral of the story I guess. Don't judge a book by its cover. 😅

Kitty was the real star of the show :P

🇧🇷🙉Sick!

You know what would be killer? If they did a Tech/death metal song on there next album. I always wondered why they never tried I'm sure be awesome 😊

Dude... why can’t my pinky move that quick and clean

Hi Sadie Kitty!

TUNING??? Please

Jake plays all the Instruments.

0:55 cat going to the pit

is there any difference in tuning between the 2 guitars? Or are they just used interchangeably? Cause I'm assuming all the songs are in drop C

Still blows my mind how you hold a pick and can play like that lol.

I just came out of my ear holes. (ಠ_ಠ)

The talent level here is god like. (See what I did there?)

I forgot ABR was guilty of that "when chugging 0-0 is not br00tal enough, do 1-0 instead" at 3:11

kittyyyyyyyyyyyy ? duum tytrytytyddudum
