That was nice!

 

[Mr Samsara]

Great find. Thanks.

 

[Iki-ilkkuja]

Yeah, though the Micro Cubes always sound a bit sterile.

 

[mexicola]

Very nice to see and hear! Thanks.

 

[Lateralus14]

Awesome, but the solo is still hard

 

[Slunk]

awesome

 

[Silent Dance With Death]

They got some great tone out of those Micro Cubes.

 

[schism09]

sick

 

[Jester-Race]

AWESOME.

 

[Brave.Archangel]

GREAT! Now we need one for the Lotus Eater... (and maybe a good guitar pro or power tab tab)

 

[FRUGiHOYi]

There is one for Lotus Eater, but just one part. Good post!

Post it here. I'm too lazy.

The riffs they play in that song... Fairly crushes any riff from any other band in the world. It's so good that one can feel like the world isn't interested in whatever you think you can contribute with in the music world.

Post it here. I'm too lazy.

Post it here. I'm incapable of finding it myself. Please.

EDIT: Also, this proves how incredibly uneducated mikael is in music theory haha, its great to know that he has no restrictions which can sometimes be caused by too much music theory, he just lets his creativity roam free

 

[hexwind]

^yeah haha even in the drapery falls guitar lesson said he doesn't know what the name of that chord was

 

[Purple Haze]

ugh...the solo

 

[hexwind]

wow I thought i'm the only one who couldn't play such solo after 3 years of playing guitar (only acoustic btw) yet almost all of u can't play it here

They got some great tone out of those Micro Cubes.

I have a Roland Cube bass amp. It's not a micro but it's still got great tone.

I doubt Mike can even play that solo so don't feel bad about that...
