[kerbe1379]

hey man this is great cover, i was wondering if you could check out my cover of this song and tell me what you think?

[guylianseashore]

awesome cover (: i think this is silverstein's favourite song to play in a show

[74sickness]

this is horriable man get ur shit down ur fucking shit

[calibokina]

@74sickness This may be an old comment, but still, if you're gonan criticize people you should at least say what they're doing wrong. When you just tell them they suck and nothing more, everyone just thinks you're a dick :l

[streetfreak]

@calibokina

Welcome to my life xD

[74sickness]

@calibokina LOL just letting u know hes my neighbour :)

[xxmercelusxx]

i think its rather easy but that just me every one is very good at something but this cover owns i wish i could play the whole thing good job

[EyItsKimron]

this is an amazing cover great job

[thebandaerial69]

hey do you think you could make the tabs for the solo and the part right before the breakdown at 1:45? it would be greatly appreciated. i can't figure it out. i can play the rest though.

[by0b367]

I dont really play the guitar.. and im just wondering.. whats a tremolo?:s

[streetfreak]

@by0b367

Tremolo picking is when you are rapidly picking up an down on a string... It felt so awkward in this song but ive improved thankfully. Thanks for the comment.

[by0b367]

@streetfreak Oh, :) thanks sweet cover btw :) do you take requests for covers? if so respond back :p

[streetfreak]

@by0b367 If i like the song then yeahh

[Warscarlette]

great JOB!!!

[SakraRO]

I have this cover at my channel too :D

great job man^^ watch my cover if u wanna it ;)

[Bloodyreturn]

Sounds really accurate, and yeah, its really me again, haha.

I said I'd learn the song and I'm learning allright.

I'm actually putting in my own interpretation on a lot of the main parts, like the the chorus and where you tremolo in the intro i do an octave higher so it sounds like it mixes w/the rythym, but learning it along the way is really improving my alternative picking and tremolo's a fun piece to learn and all, but still struggling when it comes to learning those parts, haha. nicecover!

[streetfreak]

Yeah, do put your own interpretations and style into covers to make it more unique. Good luck with the song man.

[Bloodyreturn]

@streetfreak

Thanks! Yeah, just a few parts I may need to hear again, and getting the intro nice and clean, as well as that melodic set of notes at the last few seconds, a little after the breakdown happens, haha.

Also, I doubt I got the tuning right, but I'm learning it by ear in DROP D.

[streetfreak]

I think I was in drop c# for this so you may want to tune a semitone lower if you want to play along with the track. =]

[Bloodyreturn]

I think it would be a smart move to look for videos on how to drop c# tune, since I have no idea.

But yeah, It sounds extremely alike in drop d, but I thin variations w/tune will help me improve, and I'm not sure if it matters what tune it is, but in the long run, I'm guessing that specific tune is to help match sound with the actual song itself, :D

[stefangroeneweg]

5/5.

[Kobl2]

very nice!!!!!!!!!

[KnottyOlive]

damn

[JakkGuillotine]

This Is Amazing , Im Shit at Doin The Tremolo Picking But You Did Amazing !!

[BobDole988]

solid playin dude....tremelo wasnt too bad and i realized you weren't playing the octaves in the bridge...they are a pain so i can se why u skipped them...all around good job man

[streetfreak]

Thanx bro.. Which part has the octaves? I learned it by ear so i may have missed quite a few things.

[LameAimer47]

I love the intro, and you nailed it! Fcking awesome, 5/5! :D

[SilverIlly3]

very nice cover, and the picking is great as well

[NephewOfHippie]

i think you did great on the tremolo picking! I'm good at it, usually, but I can never get the part where you switch strings right. So you did great!

[streetfreak]

Thanks =D It didnt feel proper when i was playing it though, guess it just comes with practice.

[streetfreak]

I learned it by ear, sorry i didnt make tabs.

[Bloodyreturn]

Lol, what tuning is it?

Would you recommend this as a first or second song to learn? :D

[streetfreak]

Drop C sharp. First song? Why not. Itl need alot of practice though. =D

[012835]

I dont recommend to learn this that early :D Its an amazing song I know but you should practice easier songs first^^

[Bloodyreturn]

Yeah Im learning easier songs like some I am ghost....their good and basic. :D

But yeah my guitar string broke... i lowered it too much ahaha

[koolaidmanOHYEAHHH]

I avoided the easiest stuff first. My first full song was take me out by franz ferdinand. By no means that difficult, but I wanted to avoid the 3 chords or 4 note songs. Too easy. I didnt think it would improve my playing. I wouldn't recommend learning this right off the bat, but I also wouldnt recommend learning anything to easy

[Kevin182Br00t4l]

haha its funny how you say tremolo picking is hard when you can do it perfectly

GREAT COVER

[nomargfan661]

This is an amazing cover! I'm actually learning this song, as well--started working on it yesterday, and I can run through it with a few mistakes..gotta work on the tremolo :P haha

but great job! keep up the good work!

[streetfreak]

Glad you liked it bro. Im working on some originals next, hopefully i get them recorded soon. =]

[m2y4a9ng0e8l]

[streetfreak]

[EseChe]

[stelderhaiderman]

[streetfreak]

The fast part at the intro.

[74sickness]

[DjDeezed]

such a beast cover, ya that tremolo piking looks hard

[MusicalMikeHaha]

Hey you did this perfect! can you look at my tab on ultimate guitar and tell me if anythings wrong with it ahah(:

[thedutchman45]

i can't figure out the strumming pattern for the chorus

other than that i got it

[CypherThanatos]

watch the guitar hero video :P you'll see the strumming pattern xD

[streetfreak]

Bah too much work... any suggestions for a new cover? I will definately work out the volume issues on the next one =D

[streetfreak]

Yeah i realized that when it was too late =P thanks

[guiterorist520]

Bro you nailed it!

That was tight.

Im gonna remake mine.

A made a few mistakes.

But thats hella good!

[streetfreak]

Thanks dude =D i was lucky to be able to watch someone play this song while i was learning it, so i could see their finger positions, props to your vid because there were like no covers up here when u put it out =P looking forward to the revised version

[chelsearawk]

Sounds really good. I just wish I could hear you better. =P Sweet job though. I'm working on learning this.

[streetfreak]

yeah i tried turning the bgm a bit lower when i mixed this, but the drums always came out a bit quiet so i turned it up... oh well =P

[chelsearawk]

Yeah, it's totally fine. =P I know how it goes.

[DjDeezed]

sounded pretty sik, i havent really listened to this song b4 but it sounds pretty awesome

[streetfreak]

Once u get past the screaming, its listenable.... tho i have to admit, this band has gotten better over the past few years.

[NintendosWee]

wow that was sssooo ggood

[MattT112093]

THAT WAS AWESOME!! GOOD JOB BRO! what'd u use to record it?

[streetfreak]

I used my Zoom g2.1u pedal which plugs into the computer by USB, i think the quality is alot better than using a mic ;)

[BLEACH2AnimE]

AWESOME DUDEE!!!!!

[havoc999998]

Jame's you amaze me haha, this is awesome, not only did you cover a kick ass song but you played it perfectly. I myself didn't notice any mistakes cause of my inexperience in guitar, but shit man your amazing. I'd love to learn this song but it's obviously way out of my lead. Your amazing at guitar !!!

[streetfreak]

wow thanks :P yeah it is far from perfect tho, as i tried to tab it by ear + watching the other 3 covers on youtube xD
