The River Dragon Hath Come: Cover (feat J Locke, 5150, Slate drums, Schecter Loomis)

[Chryst Krispies]

I'm a tad late, but this is fucking unreal dude.

Killer job.

 

[Genius Gone Insane]

That's the way I play it btw. And yes it is a little tricky. After I changed to a lighter string gauge it was a little easier to be honest...you're using loomis's string setup?

I don't know. What is his setup? He's got thick strings I thought.

 

[P-E]

Damn, great job in all aspects!

Guitar tone is insane! Nice playing too.

 

[Keregioz]

Yes, he uses quite thick strings. 10-52 and .070 on the seventh string. I now have 09-46 and 60.

FWIW this riff is slaying me:

(--------------------------------------)------------------------------------)
(--------------------------------------)------------------------------------)
(--------------------------------------)------------------------------------)
(--------------------------------------)------------------------------------)
(-----------5---------5---5-7-5---5----)----------5-------------------------)
(---5-8-7-8---8-7-8-7---8-------8---7~-)--5-8-7-8---8-7-8-4-7-5-7-8-7-5-7-4-)
(--------------------------------------)------------------------------------)

I know I will get it eventually but the alternate picking and palm muting the low strings along with the 3th finger action is just driving me nuts. I can't believe how tough this is to play clean, especially with my high string action (I know, poor excuse). It looks like the easiest riff but it's just killing me and makes me wonder if Jeff writes shit like this simply to discourage folks like me from playing my axe.

Please someone else vouch for me that this puppy is more difficult than it looks!!!!

lol, i remember thinking that to. It was like haha yeh this sounds easy! Actually... this is slightly funky to play

it sucks kev sorry lol
Kidding! it is really a copycat! a great sound, as I told ya before you posted the song on the forum

I have to say I'm still not a fan of that snare sound either kev, I think the mix needs scooping a little too to my ears.
