I have been getting a lot of requests for this video ever since i posted it up, and it was a tough song to nail too haha! Id say the performance here is about 90% there but oh
well, its good enough for now so you can get a sense of how the parts are played!

I used my ltd f-200 with an x2n in the bridge (same guitar i recorded the song with) through a peavey xxx combo in the vid (its all i have here in mauritius!)

A couple notes, the guitar is a bit soft at times, i apologize in advance for that, the amp is on the ground and so the camera didnt pick it up so well, but its just as well as

it can cover up my mistakes haha!
Also there is one bit that sounds like a mistake but its actually a slight revision which i will have to rerecord because i prefer the new way better, and that bit is around

0:35 and again at 2:17.

Anyways if im not feeling as lazy as i usually do i might give it another shot through better equipment when i get back hehe.

Enjoy!
 
yay thanks a lot guys!!

fader: as i was practicing this one i kinda felt the same way haha!

utarefson: hmm maybe its just because i suck at this style of playing, but for me this song is WAY harder than insomnia or zyglrox, mainly because i wasnt playing too far outside of my "comfort zone" on those ones hehe.

musickey: just in the usual drop C tuning on a 6 string!
 
musickey: I dont wanna be a smartass, but did you try figuring it out by ear?

I know sometimes it can be quite impossible, but these days with DAWs, loops, pitchdown, slowdown, etc. it should be doable.

Figuring stuff out by ear all thru my youth was one of the best things I ever did for my music career.
 
i may be wrong but i believe its based off of a Dbmin/majb5#9aug11dim4b6#13 chord...
























...ok im being a facetious, i aporrogize teehee!
 
BTW, Bulb, what's your opinion on the x2n p'ups?

well they are definitely a lot better than the emghz crap that came with it (some of the worst pickups evar!1)
but the x2ns are also just way too hot and get noisy and muddy, if this was a guitar i used regularly it would have bareknuckles in it hehe!
 
Wow.

I must ask you this Bulb: how did you learn all those cool and unusual chord shapes/voicings (especially the kind you use in "All New Material" and "Totla Mad")? I've always been interested to learn them myself.
