[Shredin0id]

I love your 7 string

[jimthemfmailman]

diggin the googly eyes on your guitar

[jimmychicken505]

Tremendous job man, very impressed!

[Pabbles123]

sick camo backdrop bro!!!

[KneelingBeforeLies]

Definatly the best cover yet, major props to you. Whats your setup?

[mrdunngoofd]

or at least that hard riff that starts at about 1:02 in this song.

[UematsuFF7]

@mrdunngoofd

Ok. I'll tab it this weekend, I'll let you know when it's done.

[bigdavid351]

@UematsuFF7 i want that 1:02 riff as well send it to david.foster@mavs.uta.edu if you can

[mrdunngoofd]

So i have probably watched your video a good.. oh idk.. 25 times. liked it, posted it to facebook, no complaints. Im trying to figure out how to play it, and I cant figure it out by ear. i figured out the intro, so i am putting forth effort, but I would be so happy if you tabbed some of the more difficult riffs. Please and thanks.

[UematsuFF7]

@mrdunngoofd

Hey man, thanks for the support. Did you read the description? the thing is I didn't pulled this out with the tuning that The Contortionist use, so idk if it stills work for you if I tab some of the riffs, if so, please tell wich riffs you'd like to learn the most.

[CHoff11]

ok fuck the pointless talk... can u do a cover of oscillator and maybe vessel?? this one was awesome so im sure u can do those =D

[DeepSeaCreature666]

chur brotha, good cover!

[IAMinDreams]

nicely done and with few mistakes and did it your own way, good job

[JonasBGuitar]

I think a toothpick is stuck below your lower lip...

[UematsuFF7]

@JonasBGuitar

Good observer is good observer.

[o0ShadowsfeaR0o]

@stevenarm

It's post production. You do it in a video editor.

[stevenarm]

how do you add the backtrack?? i need to know!

[coops16]

Pretty great, aside from the camo back drop.

[terryn0]

Great cover of an amazing song!

[JukemNukem88]

I want the melodic part to be played during my ascension to heaven

[GoodGore666]

another killer cover man!

[chgotbanned]

hell yes

[chalkboxx]

Spot on, but some harsh tones. Still good shit man, this stuff is hard to decipher.

[shagnastyfo20]

Good job. The beginning notes (GUH-GUH GUH GUH-GUH GUH-GUH "notes in question") are natural harmonics. Fifth and fourth frets. Run up the strings from low G#:

low G# fifth fret, low C# fifth fret, high G# fifth fret, high C# fifth fret, high C# fourth fret, high C# fifth fret.

Very fun. I do a similar harmonic on the song "Turn 'er Over" by my band Glass Bottom Boat Ride. You can find it here:

reverbnation. com/GlassBottomBoatRide

You'll hear it at 3:16

[UematsuFF7]

@shagnastyfo20 Yeah I know they're harmonics, I was to lazy to tune my guitar like the contortionist do, so I did what i could based on my ear. I'll check your band (Y)

[ladicius]

glorious cover.

[Therobbieperson]

Why are you all hating on him? His cover was good plus the contortionist is hard as fuck to play, especially this song

[mario1136]

@Therobbieperson Yeah, It's amazing how he figured it out by ear. This is still hard to learn even with tabs

[MickLoomis]

really nice try dude.!!! this is a very Hard song.!!!

[emmure71]

nope. those first parts are pinch harmonics? what the fuck.

[UematsuFF7]

@emmure71

O rly? read the description, I pulled this out with a 7 & not using the original tuning, therefore harmonics are impossible to play with my tuning, I just improvised the notes are not off, they're just not harmonics...

[1995Rainman]

@emmure71 natural harmonics on 5th and 4th frets up first few low strings

[XnagasadowX]

what kind of guitar are you using?

[UematsuFF7]

@XnagasadowX It's a 7 string Eagle

[olpotface]

its mostly wrong but nice try

[itsdrpepper567]

the notes at :14 are harmonics not regular picked notes, other than that good cover

[TheThrashKing]

The cover is sick dude, but the tone is a little off.

[1stdeadpresident]

great job dude.

[skunkworks4u]

Dude hats off to ya ! You deff are the man bro, great cover sounded almost exact!!

[stevenarm]

dude, can you send me the tabs for 2:34 to 3:20?

[seanotdrummer]

Amazing cover man. Definitely the best on Youtube no doubt. You really did the song justice. Man do I love this band. Maybe I'll do a drum cover soon haha.

[UematsuFF7]

@seanotdrummer

Thnx a lot my friend let me know when you upload your cover, cheers.

[skippy7865]

While they use 6 strings, it is much easier for those with a seven string to tune to it

[eddieboy1234]

awesome job

[sweetsetofgolfballs]

AMAZING!



[MetalBassist73]

this is hardcore

[tomtheoverlord]

Just need some delay. And the notes after the duh-duh duh duh-duh duhduh are natural harmonics.

[RRFan1250]

For doing this by ear man, this is amazingly superb!!!!! Great job!

[thesightsunseen]

fuckin sick man, nice guitar

[CapaQdoe]

tab dat' madafaka'! ! ! :D please <3

[xXxmixiacorexXx]

nuevos vídeos Chuy

muy buenos covers como siempre :)

[UematsuFF7]

@xXxmixiacorexXx Chido mi ñañel, gracias por comentar :)

[blackmambav6]

Very impressive

[rocketman449x2]

This is perfect dude!

[JustinVanDyke]

Great cover homes! probably the best ive seen on here.

[Joshuaemx]

Do something from Structures bro

[MATYRKER]

They use 6 strings

[UematsuFF7]

@MATYRKER

Yeah you're right, & the original tuning is in the comments below, thanx to MrPH03N1X666.

[MrPH03N1X666]

hey man just poped in to say that your tuning is correct you just have a seven string that's all. it is in fact supposed to be done on a six string set in your tuning . DROP G# minus the extra high E that's set in D# and the sharp tuning on the 3rd. so on a 6er it would be:

6.- G#

5.- C#

4.- G#

3.- C#

2.- F

1.- A#

also dude you seriously need to tab out that entire riff after from 1:01 - 1:20

for such a budget recording set up damn dude nice tone and skills. you should try doing vessel man

[MrPH03N1X666]

@MrPH03N1X666

sorry i didnt realize your sixth string was the wrong note too lol here is the correct tuning. basically drop D 6 semi tones down

Drop G#:

6.- G#

5.- D#

4.- G#

3.- C#

2.- F

1.- A#

Peace >.< S.W.E.D

[UematsuFF7]

@MrPH03N1X666

Thanx for the info man, I'll tab the riff you're referring in the previous comment, it was very difficult to catch by ear, so I know it will help at least to slow the speed and hear ir clearly without the other instruments, I'll let you know when it done.

[MrPH03N1X666]

@UematsuFF7 thanks man i appreciate :) dude your cover is probably the best i've heard so far man even though its technically in the wrong tuning. i put my 6 string in their tuning lol it took .012-.60 gauge strings and a whole lot of intonation but i got my Floyd to work perfectly XD now i can play the melodic solo with the bends. SCORE!!

[Rezeophilus555]

@MrPH03N1X666

i would use a 3rd wound for the C#

[chadams123]

everyone keeps saying they tune to G# but idk

your tuning is probably really close XD

[chadams123]

you didnt happen to tab it out did you? you should aha XD

[UematsuFF7]

@chadams123 Sorry man i didn't tab it =/ thou it's not the same tuning that The Contortionist use i think it's not necessary

[chadams123]

dude that was like 95% correct...

what kind of gear do you have? i like your tone aha

[UematsuFF7]

@chadams123 It's kind of a poor gear, I simply plug my amp line 6 spider II to the mic plug of my computer. I use a modified version of the "metal" distortion in my amp, 7 string Eagle guitar & that's it :P

[Whitemexican]

any possible way u can tab out the riff startin at 0:12 ? ive been searchin all over the place for tabs for this song and no fuckin luck, appreciate it much. nice playin. peace.

[UematsuFF7]

@Whitemexican Hey man, have you checked my tuning? it's in the description of the video, i believe that it's not the same that The Contortionist guitarists use, so in case i tab the riff I don't think it's gonna be helpful for you but I'll do it if you think so

[TroyisNoob]

you're the shit!

[paengkee]

1:21 he hits the chewbacca chord

[Freenuke]

Nice cover man. Do you ever write your own stuff or do you just do covers?

[UematsuFF7]

@Freenuke sup man, i do write some stuff yeah, i'm starting to play with a drummer friend hope we have some recorded stuff soon and i'll let you know

[keybladeguy776]

This is awesome for learning it from ear. Great job man :)

[MiguelOfficiall]

holy fuck, best cover by far!

[DPMAN2424]

dude so respect

[UematsuFF7]

@DPMAN2424

Hey man thnx i watched your video, nice playing too, let me know when you put some more vids lml

[DPMAN2424]

@UematsuFF7 yo just a tip, that opening riff is all natural harmonics around the 4th and 5th fret on like the 5th 6th and 7th strings. ill let ya figure it out but its all around there. fuckin. NICE cover for ear. i might do an oscillator dual guitar cover soon and maybe record some original stuff down teh road. but for now, fuck it. nice cover dude, def checkin ur other vids

[UematsuFF7]

@DPMAN2424

Thnx for the tip man, I've seen some covers playing it that way but idk i preferred the way i pulled it, i'll check your next vids too man, cheers.
