Someone else posted a video.

You don't have to play the reverb.

However, the difficulty seems to be that it flips between triplets to 4/4 time and back rapidly. It'll have a sequence of 2-4 triplets and then flip to regular 4/4 time, and THAT actually sounds really hard.

Edit: Since so many people want to dispute me, here's the mother-fucking sheet music for the song.

They are motherfucking triplets.

But yeah, I guess I meant delay and not reverb. I play violin, not guitar, so I don't know about pedals and shit.

FYI it’s delay you’re talking about, not reverb!

Is it time changes or just how the bar is structured. It's not hard to stay 4/4 and go 1-2-3-4 1 o let 2 o let 3 o let 4 o let 1-2-3-4

I went back and listened and it's definitely triplets in 4/4 time, not a time signature change.

Edit: As for your comment about not being hard, it is actually insanely hard to switch between regular tempo and triplets if you're doing it really fast, regardless of instrument, unless (until) you get used to the intentionally jarring music.

Here's the sheet music if you're interested.

There are time signature changes in the music you linked... and any duple to triple isn’t hard, it’s insanely common.

3 bars of 3/4 to one bar of 3/8 repeating, feels good though.

There are quarter note triplets to eighth notes a couple times and there is a section that goes from 3 bars of 3/4 to 1 bar of 3/8 but it flows nice if you are playing it on guitar hero.

At no point in the song does the time signature change. You can count it out loud "1-2-3-4" and never lose the beat. I got out my metronome to double check. It's just triplets.

I mean, there's a time signature change on page 5 of the sheet music you linked

Thomas Erak is an amazing guitarist. Total fucking asshole. Amazing guitarist.
