Spiritbox - The Beauty Of Suffering (GUITAR PLAYTHROUGH BY MIKE STRINGER) 

- Almost two years later and still the most creative metolcore band around.

this is becoming my favorite song of 2017. this dude is rifflord

3:40 to the end is one of their most beautiful sections of music they've ever made

The section from 2:52-3:40 is so much fun to play on guitar! I love his writing style.

3:45 to the end is easily one of my favorite guitar riffs ever. so much emotion!

That riff at 2:18 is some of the darkest stuff I've heard. Love it.

This video made me a Spiritbox fan! Thanks guys!

This is superb. Please more Spiritbox guitar playthroughs!!!

The last part gives me goosebumps really 🔥

The whole song is dope but from 3:08 on ... those riffs..... 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Still a top 3 spiritbox song if not #1.

The outro melody is sooo beautiful :)

By far my favorite song of you, this EP is so bloody amazing. The outro still gives me goosebumps every time. I was surprised it's actually recorded on a 7 string, definitely sounded like an 8 string record to me.

That machine gun riff with the double kicks reminds me so much of Fear Factory. So good.

It's like an amalgamation of my favourite progressive math metal in one: TesseracT, Vildhjarta, After the Burial, Monuments. Definitely a band to pay close attention, evolution of the genre is underway. I have had the S/T on high rotation lately. It's addictive.

I think this is literally the greatest thing I’ve ever seen. I just can’t with this dude, everything he puts out is a banger.

this grants access to heaven

The amount of talent it takes to play something like this is amazing everyone In the band shits crazy bravo

That right hand though! Wow this man is tight.

Some of the best riffing and composing skills I've ever seen. This man is truly a unique artist.

Oh my goodness gracious, Mike! 🤯❤😎

Love this song!

This is in Drop F#? finally someone uses that tuning lol

Ion Dissonance vibes abound, with a tasty Modern Day Babylon outro.

That arpeggio is one of the most beautiful things, that i've heard in my life

Awesome intro riff! Made my day.

Discovered the band a couple of months ago thanks to this nice playthrough! Great

Man I love this album so much

Awesome video and awesome skills, insane! Just the instrumental in this song is so sick, thanks for showing this!

AMAZING playing! I'm loving this band

Love this song aye

how am i only finding this now......this is quite possibly already my favourite song from them now

I'm so in love with Aristides, even in black and White they are awesome... have to get one one day ! Love the song and video too ! :)

just sooooo good

Mike is total kill love it

So clever, groovy and catchy. That guitar is awesome 🤘🏾

AMAZING!! I'm sooo late to the Spiritbox game!

Just amazing.

Love reading the lyrics while listening to the instrumental

sick!

You say the pain will liberate me You turn my body into knots and tell me it's a blessing You say you love me love in this shape That there is beauty in my suffering I wonder would I stay If you asked for it You still create the shape And I ask for it I gave my heart in pieces Please release me I'm tired Don't try to pacify me Please release me I'm tired I'm slipping away No discipline just let me be And now my body starts to worry Put down the words I will not hesitate This is your chance make me relatable Knock me down with your false intentions It turns to ash in my mouth I need you gone I beg you to release me Now I turn my body into something Into the shape you find so trusting I could never be that shape You caught me slipping Farther down in madness Echo chamber (nod your) Leave my body in peace No need to pacify me Nod your head yes The pain will set you free I gave my heart in pieces Please release me I'm tired Don't try to pacify me Please release me I'm tired Leave my body in peace No need to pacify me Leave my body in peace No need to pacify me You find escape in the reverie This is the beauty of suffering You find escape in the reverie This is the beauty of suffering I love you I always will My heart is always still I love you I always will My heart is always still Please release me I'm tired (You find the strength in the reverie) Please release me I'm tired (This is the beauty of suffering) Please release me I'm tired (You find the strength in the reverie) Please release me I'm tired (This is the beauty of suffering)

What i do on the guitar is what i do in the mind, and debate. Great job to everyone involved. my jaw is dropped.

What a journey 🔥

I have been enjoying this song/album for a bit. It's good to see a bit of what it looks like.

so good 🔥🔥🔥

spiritbox is top of the tops)))) amazing riffs wonderfull band!!!!

what a frickin masterpiece

The whole outro riff section is too sick

I need that guitar. The body looks amazing

Most beautiful and expressive guitar parts ever 🔥

Fell in love with you guys. Such an amazing EP. Hope to hear some new tracks soon! What strings (gauge) do you use for drop F# tuning?

I remember making a Monuments comparison some time ago. Watching Mike's right hand at work, I am now convinced Mike and John are the same person.

Awesome

The MAN!! SPIRITBOX RULE

I love this :)

Such savagery. Love it.

I wonder if this album was recorded with an axe 2 … sounds awesome, I always love mikes tone!!!

3:56 is even more pretty when there is no distraction from the guitar/music. No disrespect to the vocals. It's hard to hear differentiate amazing when it's put beside amazing.

The best the best!!!!!

nice tone bro

that right hand at 2:18 says alot about what this dude is really capable of doing as a guitar player... i mean, look at the face hes making during that part lol gives some "bleed" type vibes!

So much variety in a single track. And this was your first song as Spiritbox? Fuhuck.

Goood job men!

i want a guitar just like his but left handed and red with gold knobs/tuners

This guy is a fucking beast!!

SOOOOOO FUCKINNGG HARRRRRRDDDDDDDDDDDDUUUHHHHHHHH!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

i want to be this man when i grow up

You are fucking incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The last part of this song.....Life.

2:19.... that right hand. That’s the definition of “no bitch picking”

In the intro riff, for that fast dissonant run part in the 4th bar, it looks like he goes from the 4th fret on the 5th string (F# 2) to the 3rd fret on the 4th String (B2). Thats for the fretting hand. His picking hand hits the 4th string for both notes though, and thats also what the V2 tab on ultimate guitar says (the first tab for this has this run extremely off so i wouldnt pay it much mind) However, i slowed it way the fuck down in my daw and i can clearly hear that the first note is the A# (4th fret on the F#2 string) Just thought id clear it up cause this had me confused af lol. This song is a lot of fun so far, happy learning homies \m/

Hello! Can you please tell me how to create a guitar effect that will sound at 3:40 minutes? Earnest call a beginner in guitar sound. I really need this sound ( Help please, kind people

HEEEEYYY ! can anyone tell me that whats the gauge of top string on this Aristides 070 ?????

All hail the rifflord.🙌

Does anyone know what Axe Fx amp model he uses for the rhythm tone?

This fuckin guy is a wizard!

Those right hand

🤟🤟

can you paint the tuning of the guitar from the notes?

so uh, can i buy your preset? :D

Please be more popular :P

2:18 what's the technique called?

1:51 Bleed pattern... nice

Go check out his "Electric Cross" guitar playthrough, AFTER you listen to the original...it will blow you away with what you THOUGHT you heard....LOL

my question is how tf do you play that ending live without 4 different guitarists

has anyone got any tabs?

Pleeeeeeease tab

That breakdown didn’t look real

Is your tuning F# B E A D F# B?

What tuning?

You really didn't have to do us that dirty with that outro

8 o

still the best song they've ever put out imo. Too bad they won't get techy like this ever again

Guy has a deftones kinda look to him.

I didn't know fingers were supposed to move like that...

Tabs :'(?

for a one minute I thought it was a Meshuggah riff lol

Wait where's the beard?
