[chapmanyasuki1]

Your technique is wonderful.

I think that I am very good.

[semper0fi]

@chapmanyasuki1 Thanks for the comment, and good of you to comment on yourself too, LOL.

[chapmanyasuki1]

@semper0fi You're welcome.

[HeadRush11guitar]

thanks a lot!

[HeadRush11guitar]

awesome cover! one of the best ive seen, the guitar is great as well, i was just wondering if you could tell me what settings yo used on the blackstar ht drive to get that fuzzy overdrive tone? cheers

[semper0fi]

@HeadRush11guitar Thanks! I think both the gain and tone where set to three o'clock.

[AliLovesGuitar]

jesus, that guitar is orgasmic, i want one, and finally another guitarist who knows the power of the ht drive, best 90 quid i ever spent, ausome cover aswell :)

[semper0fi]

Cheers! It is pretty sweet.

[MattBisgod]

i'm going to buy a blackstar HT drive now

thanks :P

[Zephiroth194]

Dude, my guitar is named Aeon too...

CREEPY

[semper0fi]

Really, that is weird.

[Kasad9]

That was great! I must ask, is the Fuzz Factory providing your main distortion? I may get a guitar custom built for me... Just been on your Aeon site, impressive stuff!

[semper0fi]

Thanks! No, the FF is not used at all in this one. The distortion is from a Blackstar HT-Drive.

[Kasad9]

@semper0fi Nice, do you usethe Fuzz Factory a lot? I've heard differet things from people... "It's Matt's main distortion" to "He only uses it for the oscillation".

How much did your guitar cost by the way?

[semper0fi]

@Kasad9 I use it to sometimes sustain or enhance distortions, rarely use it on it's own, it's good fo solo's. It's not Matt's main distortion by far.

[GameGuru14]

Is that a manson guitar? :O

[semper0fi]

It's not, I had it custom made by someone else. See the link in the description for more info'.

[GameGuru14]

Oh sorry, I wasn't very attentive. Thanks!

[mgssolidsnake1]

this is the best cover of this song i've heard

[semper0fi]

Thanks!

[Clewsmonkey]

I don't like the sustainer intro. To me it sounds like the notes picked were at random, instead of relating to the chords. And perhaps try backing off the gain. Otherwise, well done, especially liked the middle bit.

[semper0fi]

Thanks for the feedback, the gain seems a lot higher than it is due to it being DI'd. I'm to lazy to set up the mic!

The intro does hit a few notes of the melody, there wasn't much effort or time put into it so fair enough.

My favourite bit is the middle, the solo is ace (in the actual song).

[lauraharris24]

awesome cover, the best muse cover on youtube by miles. did you come up with the tabs yourself?

[semper0fi]

For the main base of the song I just used someone's tab but then changed a few bits to how I thought it should be played. The solo and stuff changes everytime I play it anyway, hehe.

And thankyou for your kind comment. :)

[Acceptable76]

Ah.. invincibles effect.. I love invincible :) I wish I got one of those :P

[anya2905]

awesome cover!

[hernandeznathan50]

Nice cover!

[RobsCovers]

OMG It's been such a long time! good to see a new cover of you! 5 stars!

Cheers

Rob

ps: I hope WMG won't delete this!

[SeanPound]

nice song, nice cover, nice guitar lol. Hoping to get a custom myself soon.

[semper0fi]

Cheers! :)

[Acceptable76]

How do you get the affect in the beggining btw?

[semper0fi]

It's a Fernandes Sustainer, bit of delay from a Boss DD3 and distortion from a Blackstar Ht-Drive.

[Acceptable76]

kk :D

[Acceptable76]

w00t w00t w00t :D nice, finally a new cover.

[willthefirst]

how does that sustainer work? is it like the sutainiac thing? I am interested in getting one, can you suggest any sites or products about modding a guitar to have a sustainer?

[semper0fi]

Check Fernandes guitars website to find out more about it. Erm... Mansons might modify one.
