MM - Tourniquet Guitar Cover

[amaurythewarrior]

for that part :

B8-14-15--15------------------­-----12

G-----------------------------­----------15b

D5-11-12-12b(1 whole step)-8

i'm not actually that's what's actually play, there must be chords which are played too but what's sure, is that it's important to play the octaves otherwise it doesn't sound nearly as good

[dan270145139]

Did you ever use Gibson brand strings? And also emp treated strings? Are they any good?

[amaurythewarrior]

i did use several sets of gibson strings - imo they're not worth their price. d'addario in the x3 pack are pretty cheap and good

ernie ball might be slightly better though

slightly only

by emp treated strings do you mean like elixir etc ? i tried elixirs on my acoustic, don't like the feel at all, it's weird

[christian91196]

@amaurythewarrior Please tell me where you got the tabs for this?

[amaurythewarrior]

@christian91196 well i got the tabs for mysongbook . com ... but this site doesn't exist anymore. however they're on ultimate-guitar ... but that was 7 or 8 years ago ... the tabs are not extremely accurate you'l notice a few things need to be changed. try comparing with what i'm playing

[christian91196]

@amaurythewarrior Ultimate guitar tabs are all wrong.But im getting the Lest We Forget songbook in about 3 weeks.

[amaurythewarrior]

@christian91196 that's not true there are really good tabs on the site, but don't expect them to be 100% correct. official songbooks are a ripoff. anyway now i tab songs myself so i wouldn't buy songbooks ...

[christian91196]

@amaurythewarrior Oh,well ive been having alot of trouble on tabbing this myself so i gave up,also great covers.

[christian91196]

@christian91196 Could you possibly email me the Dead to the world tab?

[amaurythewarrior]

@christian91196 i don't i have tabbed it ... but i could do it after all

[christian91196]

@amaurythewarrior If you could just tab the intro to Tourniquet?

[amaurythewarrior]

@christian91196

B-----------------------6----6

G----------------------------6­b(and slowly release)

D-7b-7(release)-5--6---

it's all in the bends, listen carefully to get the right timing - and also you want to let the notes ring - for example when you reach for the high 6 keep your finger on the 5. and even when you play the double 6

[christian91196]

@amaurythewarrior Thanks man,great covers.If you could also tell me the high part (take your hatred out on me part) tabs,it's okay if you cant tab that part. I can tell you some Genuine Lest We forget tabs if you would like.

[dan270145139]

2 questions.

1. what amp are you using?

2. what size strings are you using? 9s, 10s, 11s?

great cover btw

[amaurythewarrior]

no actual amp, it's amp simulations, line6 gearbox in this one i think, but i use mainly guitar rig now

and i use d'addario 10-46 on my sg. for years. i don't why i would want to change for others

[J3zBeth996]

hey where can i get the right tabs for that song?

[amaurythewarrior]

ultimate-guitar for example

[balumarsh]

Very Very nice !

[WakizashiSabre]

Hello. Nice playing. I hadnt noticed there are are some artificial harmonics in it .Very good.

[amaurythewarrior]

what ? i think you mean pinched harmonics (which are something different), but i only play natural harmonics in this song ...

[WakizashiSabre]

Pinchies are also called artificial if i am right. Oh the natural ones ok so without fretting. Ok then. Thanks. :)

[amaurythewarrior]

no. for example you know you can play a natural harmonic at the 12th fret ? but not at the 13th.

fret the 1st fret, and you can play the 13th fret harmonic (like if you played the 12th and were tuned 1/2 step higher)

[WakizashiSabre]

I know I can play naturals on 12 7 5 lets say. But Artificial or pinch harmonics can be player everywhere (depends on a skill and distortion). Artificial is synonymum for pinchis...

[amaurythewarrior]

pinched harmonics and artificial harmonics can indeed both be play anywhere BUT that's definitely not the same thing ...

just type artificial harmonics in google and you'll see. to some extent these are very similar on the way you get them, but not the way you actually play those ....

[hi13ts]

You got the tone spot-on. It's also great to see people playing heavier stuff with the Gibson SG.

[amaurythewarrior]

some say it's not good for high distorsions, but i really have to disagree ... i wouldn't play death metal or metal core with it, but it's good at lot of things

[Catastrophiccam]

the best Manson song.

this is badass bro.

And your hair looks better short:)

[zelph06]

One of my favorite songs... really good dude!

[Vash6767]

awesome dude, just awesome. where do you get your tabs? (if u use them)

[amaurythewarrior]

it was on mysongbook . com when i learned most manson songs i know, back when the site had no problems with copyright ...

now i use mainly ultimate-guitar . com but i found no good tabs for this one for example. but now i don't really need tabs anymore

[Vash6767]

play by ear then? im trying, getting bits and pieces here. but then again i havent been playing for that long.

[amaurythewarrior]

well that's it ... it takes time. it's not been long that i'm able to do it, and i couldn't do it for everything ...a good start is when you download gp tabs, being able to say "okay that one is crap" ^^

[Vash6767]

yeah rofl. so is there any chance on u making a instructional vid for the song?

[amaurythewarrior]

that's an idea, yes

[Vash6767]

that would be awesome.

[DesiPuget]

you are awesome man!! D: i wanna marry you...

[coc32]

très bon cover! j'ai justement recommencé à travailler sur Tourniquet, je dois refaire un cover après le mien désastreux!! mais bon, j'étais débutant!!!

lache pas!

[amaurythewarrior]

ben deja ta tab etait pas bonne du tout :s

et les bends dans celle la sont loin d'etre de la tarte

[GMSkull]

good cover =)

[JoesGuitarChannel]

(@zero990) I second that.

[zero990]

thats honestly the best cover of this song ive ever heard
