  • fuckin awsome dude

  • Hey dude, really nice playing! Noticed you posted this a couple years ago and was wondering if you figured out the solo and if so could post a vid. I'm just learning this song now and vids help a lot along w/ the sheet music. Also, just a tip from a fellow player some of the runs where you are fretting just one note at a time can be played easier (and make the song much more fun to play) if you fret it as part of the chord/scale the run is based off. if you want me to post a vid id be glad to!

  • @drfacestealer Thanks! Unfortuanately, I've developed RSI from years of bad practice habits and I can no longer play guitar like I used to. I still play, but I just play chords and easy stuff. Right now, I am exercising and trying to get my strength in hands back again.

  • Good job!

  • Excellent job. will be using this video as a reference when I start to learn this song. curious, how long did it take you to perfect it?

  • @TheOneAndOnlyTauhid Thanks, man. I'm glad that this will help you! Watching this today, I feel like I play it different now. Only because there were certain rhythmic nuances I was still trying to get used to but I wanted to make the video already. From learning the song to recording this vid, I would say about 2 months.

    Take care!

  • @TheFith Thanks for the reply! Hopefully I can snag this down in a month but upon looking at some of the tab and trying to distinguish guitar parts...I can see why it probably take longer than that haha. Cheers to accomplishing this song.

  • BEAUTIFUL!

    

  • :)

  • @DimusPL XD

  • excelent :)

  • and very beautiful

  • @steelerjenn Thank you so much! ;-)

  • thumbs up!!

  • good job men

  • Just found this while watching mastodon videos.Great job,fucking nice!I seen you had a DOWN tune as well and now you have a new subscriber \m/ cheers

  • @lysergickfuneralproc Alright! XD Thanks! I wish people would give DOWN more love...they're another one of my all time favorite bands.

  • wow, this is crazy good, awesome job. mastodon is the best band ever.

  • @squeezeslemons Thanks, man! I agree. Mastodon is absolutely awesome. :-)

  • 1 person exploded

  • this is amazing!!!

    

  • impressive!

  • Awesome cover. Really good.

  • Awesome job dude! 10/10

  • I know it's pointless to comment on the dislikes, but does anyone else fine it a little irritating that there's just that one dislike, tarnishing an otherwise perfect bar. Maybe it's just me...

    Also, brilliant cover man, Gives me the same shiver as the original.

  • @Sameth69 Thank you, man. I'm glad you dig it! :-)

  • such beautiful desolation.

    

  • This is seriously awesome, especially the part at 3:23 - 4:31 . Best on youtube imo

  • @apeirce20 Thank you! You know anyone who would want to do a video collab of this and bust the solo? It's so difficult to play! LOL! XD

  • thats fuckin beautiful

  • i love you man you just made my high so much better

  • really well played!

  • Beautifully played. It's such a wonderfully soul refreshing song and you captured its intensity. Well done. August Silk.

  • @August22Silk Thank you, man! XD I appreciate that.

  • wow dude. that blew me away. like with an effect similar to the actual song. not a feat easily accomplished. you got some serious talent in those fingers

  • @SuperToother Wow, thank you, man. I'm really glad you dig that! XD

    I did practice this song quite a bit before I did this video so although it was a fairly easy song to play (on paper that is, lol) the execution was a whole different story! I wanted to make sure I could do it justice because it's just the rhythm parts without the solo.

    Take care!

  • The effects sounded badass on the verses/choruses...but the intro should've been totally clean. That's my only nitpick. It's a tough song to play I think. So mad props dude. You did a fine job!

  • @amanualdexterity18 Thanks, man! It does sound like it's got some effect, but the intro was completely clean. I picked the cleanest setting available through my Toneport...it might be because I played it with the electric. :-)

    I intend on redoing this whole thing with the proper setups and all the parts so keep an eye out! Thanks, again and Happy Holidays!

  • For sure dude!

  • I wanna learn how to play guitar just so I can play this song whenever!

  • @EmoDKTsuchiya Do it, man! Guitar playing Rocks! XD

  • do you have tab?? P.S. really great!!

  • Awesome job man! Had to blip it.

  • @DaveFugitiveJansen Thank you! XD

  • really good man, on a scale of 1 to 10, how difficult would you say it is?

  • @cRazyBassBiTch Thank you! :-) Ha ha, how funny is that? I answered a question exactly how you asked it. LOL! In any case, I said:

    "On a scale of 1 to 10, I would say the rhythm part I play here is a 4. Considering how amazing Mastodon is at crafting a complex songs, they prove that even simple songs can sound very complex. I highly recommend learning it. "

    Thanks, again. Take care!

  • @TheFith cheers mate, yeah i love the sound of this song

  • @TheFith

    After reading your comment, I though to myself about that whole complexity thing, and I realized how impressed I've always been with The Last Baron and how intricate and complex the composition is. After learning it I discovered how simple it was, and how beautiful it still sounded!

    I was just wondering if you've learned that song as well...

    great cover btw!

  • @XxSameerxX Thank you! I've still yet to buy the Crack the Skye book, but I listen to that album almost everyday so I'm memorizing all the parts of the songs in my head before I finally get them under my fingers, lol. You should upload a video playing it!

    Funny story: I actually learned of Mastodon when they appeared on the old Conan O'Brien show way back in 2007. I thought "this is the heaviest band I've ever seen on this show!" Bought Blood Mountain the very next day. Long live Mastadon! \m/

  • This is amazing man, you totally captured the feel of this song

  • @ejmakesmovies Thank you, man, I'm really glad you like it. :-)

  • awesome, I love this song. nicely done (Y)

  • Amazing Cover, great job

  • great job, great tone for this song too man :]

  • @42littlebit Thank you, sir! I'm glad you dig it. XD

  • Amazing cover. I could listen to it for hours on end.

  • @legsAirsoft Thanks! I do the same thing with the original. :-) When I listen to it, I hear and learn something new. The way they layered all the different sounds is pretty incredible. I'd really like to do another cover soon - but I'm still working on that solo! LoL!

  • @TheFith No problem. Almost every time i listen to this song, which is often, i pick up something new. Mastodon has a lot of talent. Keep working on the solo.

  • Damn dude, kudos for attempting to play a Mastodon song, and kudos for playing it wonderfully. Love this song, even when someone covers it, its amazing. Can't wait to play it perfectly :)

  • @Shaggoth4 Thanks, man! This song really stood out to me the first time I listened to the whole album. When you put it next to the other songs on Blood Mountain, I love how it's so chill and so melodic. It's like the perfect icing on the cake. :-)

  • @TheFith Yeah dude, perfect closing for a perfect album

  • i wanna learn how to play how this so bad

  • @king6595 Hey there, King6595! I can't remember if I relied to your comment, but if you'd like to have the tabs for this, I have it! It's straight out of the Official tab book, but I put it into a "Guitar Pro" Type of program called TuxGuitar (which is FREE!). Let me know! Take care.

  • dude. that was amazing. great job dude. i love this song. its trippy

  • @Zapzapkid Thank you, man! I really love the intro. I still play this song whenever I pick up my guitar, which is pretty much everyday XD...so simple and extremely satisfying to play.

  • @TheFith i play it finger style though.

  • @TheFith what ever. we all have out own way of playing

  • @Zapzapkid Oh, it's cool. I actually started playing it with my fingers at first. Then I saw "Mastodon - Making of Blood Mountain 10" here on YouTube and realized Brent plays this song with a "chicken-picking" style (a pick and with fingers) and I thought I should learn it the way he plays it. :-)

  • @TheFith oh thats cool. i cant hybric pick at all. i suck at it lol

  • @Zapzapkid LoL! I hear you! I'm pretty stubborn though. After about a month or so, I started to get the hang of it. :-)

  • @TheFith lol cool beans dude

  • video's like these make me sad that i can't play shit on guitar... :(

    i'm learning this song on bass though! ^^ might just put it on youtube one day...

  • @Metaalhoofdje123 Turn that frown, upside down! XD Somebody once told me that for whatever you do in life, you get what you put into it. I believe that if you put your heart into it, there is no possible way that you can go wrong. Good luck with your playing! And let me know when you get that Bass part down. I'd be happy to see it!

  • @Metaalhoofdje123

    Hey man, are you playing a 4 string or a 5 string? I've been wanting to play this on bass as well but i'm not as skilled and I can't figure out how to drop it an octave to play on a 4 string, if there is a way at all

  • @GAMERDEATH54

    i'm playing a 4 string with DADG tuning (drop-D) for this song. its quite possible that way.

    i haven't practiced for a while cause ive been on vacation but when i can play the entire thing i'll upload it on youtube so you can see how i did it ^^

  • Just great!

  • @sonicat Thank you!

  • is it a hard song to play?

  • @cllsom29945 Not at all, but I practiced the song a lot before I did this video. :-) The only thing that's really difficult about the song is the solo.

    On a scale of 1 to 10, I would say the rhythm part I play here is a 4. Considering how amazing Mastodon is at crafting a complex songs, they prove that even simple songs can sound very complex. I highly recommend learning it. :-)

  • @TheFith thanks man... =] mastodon has always been a really big influence of mine. But i have never really played metal music... Ive mostly played power chords with stuff like nirvana, so im not use to this type of music. lol its a lottttt more complex than nirvana. but thank you and great cover =] its one of my favorite songs by them

  • @cllsom29945 It's my pleasure, thank you! :-)

    Don't worry about all the crazy stuff, lol. I too, started with Nirvana (whom I LOVE) almost 15 years ago! The thing I really focus on when I learn stuff like this or any song, really, is that I see it all the way through. From start to finish. It's VERY important to be able to play the whole song.

    It will improve your guitar playing in every way, I promise! Every note is important so don't cheat yourself. ;-)

    Take care!

  • beautiful

  • liked this alot man. good job

  • @azalikmar2 Thank you, very much! :-)

  • awesome awesome man =)

  • u do have the tabs for this? awesome. would totally wanna learn how to play this man

  • @maidenfreak213 Hey, there! Just PM me you email and I'll send it to you as soon as I have a chance. :-)

  • Where did you find the tabs for this version of the song or is it the normal tabs?

  • @RebeLx12 Hey! I bought the official tab book. But I also made (and share) a generic "guitar pro" type file of what I play here. :-)

  • what kind of guitar are you playing? your tone sounds real good how long did it take you to work up to that sound?

  • @runsk88 This guitar is a BC Rich KKV that I repainted. I also switched out the original pickups with a Seymour Duncan Jazz SH-2 on the neck side and a Dimebucker on the bridge. It's on my wall in my channel. :-)

    As for the sound, it was a little bit of tinkering with the Toneport UX2 that goes into my computer via USB 2.0. The interface has a bunch of different virtual pedals; Delays, Distortions, etc. I just tried out the ones I liked best.

    Thank You and Take Care!

  • awesome.

  • Bad ass,but where's the solo? Great job and I like the view.

  • que de puta madre

  • Fucking sick. A+

  • you rock

  • Thank you! :-)

  • Yeah Jesus Christ dude dont call yourself average after this amazing cover. Ive been tryin to get this song done with a crappy epiphone and a Marshall stack and its a fun as hell to play. What kind of set up do you play on? It sounds bitchin. I like the reverbish delay.

  • lol, it was more in regards to the lead guitar part of the song. I understand how some might be a little disappointed that the solo is missing, but really the solo is crazy difficult! The timing and technical aspects of it are just beyond my current skill at the moment.

    So,yeah, I'm not down on my playing or anything, it's just a reference to the difficulty level of the song. :-)

  • The setup I used for this is the TonePort UX2 plugged into my computer via USB 2.0.

    It's a really great interface that I bought for $140(?). A steal in my opinion because it has EVERYTHING you could ever ask for. A metronome, a tuner, 100+ presets for voice, guitar, and bass. The best part is you can access Toneport's website that has digital amps like your favorite heroes. Sound like Randy Rhoads with a click of a button!

    It's essential for ANY guitar player.

    Thank you and Take care!

  • what? an average guitar player?! That's what you're not! That was bigger than awesome,man.Now I'd consider you the guitar hero of mine..that was huge,enormous I could even hear Josh Homme speaking to you man,Great job.man

  • Hahaha, thank you, very much! I'm really glad you enjoyed that!

  • omar rodreigez from the mars volta.. he plays the lead part for pendulous skin

  • That's excellent! For some reason, I kinda thought it was Omar from Mars Volta you were talking about. But hey, I learned something new. That is too cool. :-D

  • man.. spot on rhythm peice.. and i dont blame you for not attempting the lead omar is a fantastic guitar player.. it was a good choice for them to get him to colaberate on this one.. great song great cover if you dont mind me asking what effects did you use for this?

  • Thank you very much!

    Sure, not a problem:

    I am using a TonePort UX2 plugged into my computer via USB 2.0. The intro I used the "clean" preset and for the rest of the song, the preset is called "Sounds like Heaven" with just a touch of reverb and delay. :-)

    May I ask who Omar is?

  • pretty beastly dude. mastadon things are crazy hard to here and pick out. i refuse to tab though :P its perfect though. great job!

  • Thanks, dude! I'm glad you dig it. :-)

    I actually have tabs for this song, straight from the official music book! But the difference is that I've got it in a program (TuxGuitar) that plays the song with the tabs in front of you. Let me know if you'd be interested. I'm all about sharing the music. ;-)

  • Well, if you do, please let this one up here, because it is too great to be deleted. :)

  • Yeeeeeees, I would love to try that. How will we do this?

  • Are you talking about getting the tabs for this? Just PM me your email and I'll send it to you. :-)

    Oh and no worries, I won't ever delete this, lol.

  • I love this video. Guitar alone can sound so great. You just did it.

  • Wow, thank so much! I agree, I love the melody that Brent did with this song and I thought it stood up pretty good on it's own.

    That being said, I do intend on including Drum, Bass, and Lead Guitar eventually once I've mastered the hellacious solo, lol!

  • Awesome! Nothing much else to say. :)

  • Thanks, man!

  • Bravissimoooooo!!!

    very good!

  • Thank you! :-D

  • VERY, VERY.... well done. Extremely well played! Thumbs up all the way!

  • Thank you, very much! :-D

  • Beautiful. Well played sir. Well played.

  • Thanks! I appreciate that. :-)

  • awesome cover :)

    Could you possibly send the tabs my way, please?

  • Bravo! Well done!

  • Thank you, sir! :-)

  • amazing. just amazing.

    done very, very well for an average player.

    you've quite literally inspired me to finally learn this song, so thanks.

    as always, Mastodon is the best.

    also try Intronaut... they're insane.

    Mastodon's still the best though.

  • Wow, thank you! You're very kind. :-)

    I'm glad that this cover inspired you, it's awesome to hear that. I will check out Intronaut after I post this. I've just sent the tabs with the link (just in case) to open the file. :-)

    Take Care!

  • this song is so chill, i could fall asleep to it... very nice work man, i love this song.

  • Thanks, man! Agree, Mastodon songs epitomize everything I love about guitar music and playing guitar, at the same time. :-)

  • Nice job man! This is a really cool song, and you play it really well! I've learned the intro but haven't gotten around to the rest of the song yet =/

  • Thanks, dude! Really fun song to play. I have the tabs for it, let me know if you're interested. :-)

  • fucking awesome bro. cool angle from the headstock

  • Thanks, man! I appreciate it. :-)

  • awesome job, the shot looks really cool also.

  • Thank you, very much! :-)

  • What rig are you using? It sounds incredible.

  • Thank you!

    I am using a TonePort UX2 plugged into my computer via USB 2.0. The intro I used the "clean" preset and for the rest of the song, the preset is called "Sounds like Heaven" with just a touch of reverb and delay. :-)

    I am a huge fan of Halcyon1871, a youtube guitar guy (plays amazing Megadeth and Pantera covers!), and got the idea from a video of his setup!

    It's an amazing piece of equipment. It sends a pure signal with virtually no lag!

    I highly recommend this to everyone.

  • very good..

    only prob i have is i cant find any tabs to it

  • Thanks!

    I have the tabs for this so:

    IF ANYONE READING THIS WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE TABS, just PM me your email. :-)

    Note: You need to have the program called TuxGuitar (which is FREE online!) to open the file.

  • amazing. play it acoustic and you'll have the lead intro

  • Thank you! I plan on revisiting this song again once I can do the solo (but probably not for a minute, lol) and also with bass guitar.

  • lawl, did you strap a camera to your headstock?

    also, great cover, i've 100% got the intro down right now, working on the verse (if you can call it a verse)

  • Yes! With electrical tape. :-) I saw that here on youtube, I thought it looked really cool, lol.

    Thanks and good luck!

  • Dude, one of the best covers ive seen,

    i find it such a hard song to play, after watching you im going to try and learn it

  • Thanks, man! I appreciate that. :-)

    It was difficult to learn (took me 2 months from start to finish) but the payoff is well worth it. I'm just a little bit better at guitar from learning this song. :-)

    Good luck with the song and stick with it!

  • 2 months eh, yeah it deffinetly helps out the guitar playing, and i bet the payoff is great, well im in the process of learning it, but again great vid

  • Hey, man, if you like this I've also covered Blood an Thunder, Seabeast, and Sleeping Giant in my channel. :-)

  • Awesome! Your tone is great.

  • Thanks, man! I'm glad you dig it. :-)

    This is a REALLY fun song to play.
