I had a impression you were playing 7 string guitar by watching the video - its probably because of different tuning you used

Gabriel Leopardi28th September 2008Excelent riffing. This is one of my favourite "New" bands. Well done Joe!
Unleash-The-Shred28th September 2008This is just like Ties That Bind, this is awesome! One of my favorite bands, I love Tremonti's style. Great job.
- Joe Kataldo28th September 2008
Unleash-The-Shred: yep the song structure is the same and so the style, but I re-elaborate my riffs
Eat-Sleep-andJam: the song study is in drop D, instead tremonti uses most of the time a whole step down tuning
Thanks Guys

Alter Bridge is an American alternative metal band formed in 2004 by former Creed members Mark Tremonti, Scott Phillips, and Brian Marshall.
Alter Bridge Style - 12/8 at 120 bpm dottes quarter notes
---------------------------------------------------------
Most of their songs as long as this style and as Creed Songs too are structured and based on three main elements:
1) Moody Opening Arpeggios
2) Firing Riff during verse
3) Strong fat power chords during Chorus
Even if Tremonti is a great melodic soloist, most of the time only small section of the song are left to solos (as in many other same genre bands) and is not really a main element.
Theory Focus
------------
In musical notation, 12/8 is a specific time signature consisting of four dotted crotchets (quarter notes), in a bar. This usually comprises 4 groups of 3 quavers (eighth notes), giving the overall feel of common 4/4 time as the basic pulse, but having 4 sets of triplets in a bar rather than the usual 4 crotchets.
Techniques Focus
----------------
The song is quite fast and rhythmically complex, isolate difficult sections and practice them slowly.
Recommended Listening
----------------------
Creed and well...Alter Bridge.
Pro Tips
--------
Most of the time Tremonti plays with guitars tuned a whole step down.
See you next lesson.
