@poiuytrewq95 Is it really SO hard to read the video description? If I've tabbed the song out, chances are you'll find the tuning out by looking at the tab. Not meaning to rag on you in particular, I'm just faintly sick of being expected to answer inane questions that you could easily answer yourself.
@VeilOfMayaOwnsYou Cheers dude. I do actually have a proper tuner, but the original version of this song (haven't actually checked if it's different on the album version) was tuned about a quarter tone sharp of BbGCFAD for some reason, so I had to do it by ear. With hindsight, that also means that my response to poiuytrewq95 was a tiny bit dickish, but hey, I'm a dick I guess!
@Fredbaty Yea man sharps are hard to get.....Flats are easier in my opinion....Less noticable if it's off....cause you can usually just play a bit harder and it sounds fine....But I usually just keep my guitar in C.....Easy and fun....sounds good....I should learn a Periphery song tho and upload it :)....I'm think The fast ones
however you made a critical error, you palm muted the djents on the low a# in between riffs such as intro riffs and bits like 2:54 aside from that fucking sick job!!
for all those wondering about tabs/tunings, look at description on the right.
i checked it out, but can only play the section from 1:33 to 1:58. lol. it's a start i guess. also playing on a classical guitar is not the best idea. =)
anyway, fred, good work. thanks for the transcriptions. i definitely use this one and the Super Mario Medley. that one is a crowd pleaser at my house.
Hey man, thanks for the comment. Yeah, I did indeed tab everything out by ear, although being able to see the positions Misha plays it in on his video certainly helped a fair amount!
it sounds really good. I hjate how tense you are tho. Ur hands move like almost too precisely, especially when ur doing the tapping. Lighten up a bit and feel the music
Yeah, sorry about that - the hosting company went bust a while back and I still haven't got round to updating links. Will try and do so when I've sorted something else out.
youre good, even really good. but holy SHIT do you have a Way better guitar and amp than I ever did. If I had that shit Id be one of the best by now. Your left/right co-ordination is great, your plucking is great. but jesus is it easier with decent pickups like them instead of the shitty $100 replica guitar I had to put up with through my guitar decades.
The only electric guitar I had for the first 6 years of my 10 years of playing was a Yamaha Pacifica 012 I got for 85 GBP, not to mention that the guitar I'm playing in this video is a standard RG7321 with stock pups I bought for ~250 GBP. But thanks for the kind words regardless.
The notes in some of those chords are meant to be held I think. A few mistakes here and there but a good solid take overall. Hail to the
djent!
One thing I noted: isn't this meant to be played on a 6 string in standard D with drop Bb? I can understand the tuning issue, but I manage to keep in tune with standard gauge strings on a shitty epiphone SG...
thanx for the tip.. do you have 8 strings guitar? fuck yeah bad ass man! can u advice me whats the best 7 string guitar not expensive but sick to use... i know your really good at this hope to hear from you man thanx alot.
Yeah, I got a custom Agile 8-string earlier this year after saving a looong time. Will do some vids with it when I have a moment.
I'd go with a 2nd-hand RG7620, RG7421, RG7321 or S7320. Whichever of those you can find. 7321's going to be the cheapest but not the best (still, I'm perfectly happy with mine). Either way I'd go for Ibanez. Otherwise, actually, Agile Interceptor Pros are very, very nice guitars for the money. Check out Rondo Music. Peace.
he's using a line 6 pod xt live as a pedal. and the reason this song is so heavy is the low tuning, the tuning is drop G i think or something close to that
well Drop G is closer to a seven string tuning than standard E a d g b e tuning. so i would suggest getting some seven string guitar strings. and not using the thinnest string. that will allow you to go to low tunings such as G. but be careful as it might strain your guitar neck. i would ask in the guitar shop before trying it yourself.
Sorry, only just saw this. I use a set of Elixir Nanoweb 9s as the first 6 strings, then an Ernie Ball 56 for the 7th string. Or at least that's what I use on my 8-string, with an Ernie Ball 72 for the 8th. Can't actually remember what's on my RG7321 at the moment but it's roughly the same.
nice job. man, the next generation of guitar players is gonna be insane. i wish i grew up listening to periphery and sikth, and started playing guitar at age 4 lol.
Left output into my Edirol UA25 (audio interface) and then into Cakewalk SONAR LE (DAW), right output into my Roland Cube 60, which was mic'ed with a RODE NT5, into the Edirol and then into SONAR. It's simpler than it sounds!
Thanks for the tab man :) fantastic job on the tune too, wicked stuff. I wonder if bulb was listening to Scent of the Obscene a lot when he wrote this one..
Hey dude great job on the cover and the tab! i used your tab to post my own cover of the song :P so yeah just thought i'd thank you for posting up the tab!
Question though - I had to tune my guitar about a quarter tone sharp of BbGCFAD to play along with the MP3 up at your SoundClick... Any reason for this? Your video seems to be completely in tune, on the other hand. No biggy, I just thought it was a bit strange!
Well, the notes in the Powertab are exactly what I'm playing here, but yeah, in order to play along with Bulb's MP3 I had to tune up (roughly) a quarter tone.
Bulb replied on a forum that his guitar was out of tune in the video by a bit. The soundclick version should be in tune but he didnt tune it right in the video or something
Just read this and the forum post - I'm 100% that the SoundClick version isn't in tune (I had to tab from it!), and from what he's posted there it sounds as though he's saying neither that nor his video are - it's "between" B and Bb. Ah well, not that important, I was just intuh-rested.
dude you have so much talent, a gift really. And yet, you spend it on this music. I suppose to each is his own, but I feel like you could put it to real music, with melodies. Don't get me wrong, if this makes you happy, than happiness is life. I just think there is so much more potential
you dont realize how much musical talent metal has, much more than just about all other genres out there if you find the right metal, except for maybe jazz.
Eeesh, I'm very wary of the idea that metal isn't "real music, with melodies". In this song alone there's a very definite sense of melody in the chorus-type bit and the section shortly afterwards, but regardless of that fact music very definitely does not need melody in order to be real music.
Anyway, the fact is that without metal I would not have progressed in the slightest on guitar in the past few years. My main musical output will always be acoustic, but don't underestimate metal!
I understand fully, like I said, I don't want to take away from you what makes you happy and makes you feel like you want to play everyday, it's just my opinion. That's all, just thoughts.
:(. The only plaid boxers I own unfortunately had all the djent ripped out of them after an overenthusiastic lunge the other day. True story. I like to think it's also the reason I'm not as good as Bulb, but that's debatable...
