sweet!

[stoutmeister91]

@taylorellis2009 Thanks bro \m/\m/

[Erithlon]

Nice cover man!

Needs some more headbanging and pissed-off looks, lol :P

[stoutmeister91]

@Erithlon LOL thanks man...actually I'm trying to work on giving more facial expressions, it's just a concentration issue with me, depending on song and especially with recording, and I'm working on the headbanging by growing my hair out so that I can do the whirlwind haha.

If you wanna see headbanging, look at my Fear Factory video, the "All Hail the New Flesh" cover has more expression than this SYL cover xD

[stoutmeister91]

Open C major tuning. That's taking the standard E A D G B e and making it into C G C G C e. Hope that was helpful. Thanks for watching!!

[devoured6by6humans6]

what tuning do you use?

[aimitomori]

yep really brilliant guitar work here..keep posting new video..love it

[stoutmeister91]

@aimitomori Thanks for the comment :D

[Raidenstream]

Yeaaaah that fuckin' rip balls bro:D!! \m/ haha!!

the new camera is awesome:)!!.. we can see very clearly!aah we need to buy a better cam now lol

the elephant in the back is cool! lol xD it come from Asia?

rock ON bro \m/

-Raiden-

[stoutmeister91]

@Raidenstream Thanks bro, SYL is an awesome band and so is the frontman with his solo stuff (Devin Townsend) and not only can you see clearly, you can hear the guitar better. My camera is a Sony Webbie HD, normally it would be $250 USD, but I got mine used for $120 USD.

I believe this elephant came from Asia, my grandmothers friend gave it to me awhile back, she travels a lot so yea I would say Random Zen Elephant is from Asia xD

I will continue to rock on and you do the same \m/\m/

[Raidenstream]

Yeah I saw this dude in some guitar Magazines in Thailand + the videos you sent me lately:)!

that's true the sound is also better:)! that's the fuckin' deal bro!.. It must take more time to upload though, no?

Yes I saw many elephants like this one in the Morning Market of Vientiane:)!

that's very cool bro:D!

haha yeah I'll do the same!! \m/ \m/

[stoutmeister91]

@Raidenstream That's cool, yea I heard SYL before any of his solo stuff, and when I saw an interview of this guy shredding, I was blown away (this was 2 years ago while SYL was 4 years ago)

[11joshman]

You look so calm hehe...

[stoutmeister91]

@11joshman Haha that's what happens when you wake up at 8am and do a cover of a song like this right away xD

[11joshman]

@stoutmeister91 You can tell somebody is active, happy and optimistic when he wakes up at 8AM and covers a heavy metal song on guitar :D

[stoutmeister91]

@11joshman I'm pretty active with my music indeed haha

[grahamzandah]

I like the elephant in the background.

[stoutmeister91]

@grahamzandah LOL!! Glad you did bro.

[grahamzandah]

@stoutmeister91 Yup. Its pretty spectacular. 

[stoutmeister91]

@grahamzandah Yea, I just did that for shits and giggles. You might be seeing more of Random Elephant haha

[GuitarsNBanging]

good song and playing but you should have increased the volume of the background song.

[stoutmeister91]

@GuitarsNBanging Thanks for stopping by. I thought it was pretty loud. My main concern was having the guitar sound take over the background for a cover, I heard it pretty clearly though. Regardless though, appreciate the support. Keep it metal \m/\m/

[NiteSlayer777]

Fuckin great job on this song bro! and I like the new perspective camera:)

Keep it metal \m/

[stoutmeister91]

@NiteSlayer777 Thanks bro :D yea I've actually had the camera since my Stone Sour cover (first time I used that camera for a cover) Dude, the difference in everything is awesome. The sound is more clear, not to mention the picture. I might even do some re-covers of some songs with this camera, idk yet. I will keep it metal \m/\m/

[MrGent35]

Nice playing! That guy in the group picture is an ugly sucker! Looks like he came out of a horror movie!

[stoutmeister91]

@MrGent35 Haha that's pretty funny, I thought he looked like a mad scientist from a horror movie :D but yea that guy is actually a pretty genius musician/songwriter (in fact he's my top 5 favorites of all time) Check out all of the SYL stuff. The guy's name is Devin Townsend and he also has solo stuff under his name, I'd start with "Ocean Machine""Synchestra""Ki" and "Addicted", he's got A LOT more material out that's awesome beyond words.

[LeonardandPaul]

Awesome job! We are always looking for new talent on youtube. Please stay in touch with us - The Official Leonard and Paul YouTube Channel

[stoutmeister91]

@LeonardandPaul Thanks for stopping by. I just checked out your profile. Love what you're doing. I will stay in touch. Keep up the great work.

[rrogers2009]

Rocking.......great job and you are real good at playing that thing !!XD

[stoutmeister91]

@rrogers2009 Thanks bro, it was quite a workout for morning wake up xD

[gcschannel]

Awesome job man! What tuning is that?

[stoutmeister91]

@gcschannel Thanks bro. The guitar for this song and most SYL songs are in Open C major tuning. That's taking the standard E A D G B e and making it into C G C G C e. Hope that was helpful.

[qwertyvds]

Great work dude, you're really getting good, one thing i recommend though is finding a new audio recording style, cuz although you've got the great talent, you could present yourself in a more professional way by doing something like direct recording. awesome though, you have so many new covers up, i wish i could do as many as you do!

[stoutmeister91]

@qwertyvds Thanks bro, really appreciate that. I actually tried the Audacity thing and it sounded like crap. If you have some professional software you could send me links to, that'd be cool bro. Yea bro, can't wait to see new covers from you too. Rock on \m/\m/

[qwertyvds]

@stoutmeister91 ok, audacity could work, but the only thing is that to make it sound better, either you need to direct connect it to something, or get a microphone made for music and heavier sound waves. Probably look for some cheap usb singing mic and put that in front of your amp. Or you can get a pod ux1 or 2 they're pretty cool. As for software, sony vegas pro 9 is simple, but adobe audition deals just with sound, thats what i have, i can send you some download links to that if you want

[stoutmeister91]

@qwertyvds Alright send me the links via inbox. Thanks bro.

[NatePinkyVideos]
