I've finally finished a guitar tab for how I played this song: [ Ссылка ]

I debated on putting a little clip of me talking at the end of this video, but it didn't seem to fit, so scroll down to the end of the description if you want to see all of that.

First, and most importantly, let me be clear that if you're dealing with ANY heavy depression, please reach out. It may seem like there's nowhere for you to go, but there is. There are resources you can call, so please make the call before you make an irreversible decision. The National Suicide Hotline number is 1-800-273-8255 and they're always open.

In relation to the video, this is mainly a guitar cover of the way LP has played LOATR this year, with myself singing what Mike would usually sing at the beginning. I don't consider myself a great vocalist by any means, I just thought it would be something fun to do.
I also added some extra guitar during the verses that Brad doesn't play live. I wanted something to do instead of just stand there the whole time, so I did slight variations of what the main synth does throughout the song.
I technically played this in standard tuning since I didn't use the low E at all, but the studio version (and most likely this live version) are played in Drop D tuning.
The footage is courtesy of the Rock Werchter livestreamed show.
As always, I don't own any of the rights to these songs, so I hope this doesn't get blocked.
If anyone has seen my previous videos, you'll notice I'm using a brand new guitar in this video. I had filmed some footage of myself unboxing it and was going to upload that as my next video, but I felt this was more important. I may still upload that footage at a later time, but I knew this needed to be done first. I know it's been over two weeks, but my schedule in school just simply didn't provide me enough time to get it done.
The guitar is a PRS Custom 24 SE. Yes, the student edition means it technically isn't made here in America, but it's still inspected thoroughly by the PRS staff after its construction, and it's a TON cheaper. I've been a huge fan of the guitar so far, and I love the gray-black finish on it. Ok, now for the more personal stuff.

I can't stress enough how integral a part the music of Linkin Park was in my life. Their music got me interested in actually learning to play the guitar. I didn't really start listening to their music until about 10 years ago, but they shot to the top of my favorite bands. I was fortunate enough to see them in concert one time, and was even more fortunate to win an upgrade on my ticket to have a meet and greet with the band. I was able to shake Chester's hand, have him sign my shirt and say a few words. Even though it was only about 10 seconds total, I could tell how nice a guy he really was. He truly did care for every fan, as all of the band members did.

I didn't want to believe the news when I was first discovered that he was gone. I hoped it was just another internet hoax, but something told me this one was real. When it was confirmed, I didn't know what to think. Even though it was something he'd been battling with a long time, it always comes so unexpectedly. Like many people have said, he had a happy marriage and had six kids. He had money, success and fame. But depression doesn't care about any of that. I saw something someone typed that stuck with me. Even through all those blessings, what was going on inside of him was so bad that to him death seemed like the better option.
I've personally never had to deal with that and I consider myself very fortunate, but like I put at the top of the description, please seek help if you are dealing with these types of demons.

And lastly,
Chester,
I know you can't see this, but I hope that you've found the peace you were searching for. Your legacy will live on through the music you made. You left everything you had on the stage every single night, not something many can say they do. Thanks for inspiring not only myself, but millions of others in the world. I'll always be a fan. Thank you. RIP.
