The Willing Well IV: The Final Cut

[GuitarKylePlays]

Use more feel. It sounded to robotic to me.

[loganenorris]

@GuitarKylePlays I agree! I was trying too much to replicate the song. But this is like 3 years old so hopefully i've gotten better at that

[GuitarKylePlays]

@loganenorris Haha, you probably have. This song is a lot of fun to throw your own improvised shit into. Check out my cover on my page. If you get the chance. It's more of an improvisation than a cover, haha.

[MikeTheGuy00]

This video was 2 years ago... aware of that but hey... you never know... those tips are always been a good reminder for me. :D

[MikeTheGuy00]

Another thing is to keep the tips of your fingers close to the fretboard at all times. Now.. this isn't completely necessary for every second of your playing... but if you build up from slow and fast ALL while doing this, you'll develope a beneficial habit and can play LOADS better with ease. Playing good is all about playing comfortably. Other than that... good stuff man.

[MikeTheGuy00]

Some things that can help with your ability to move around the board if you keep an eye out for them: Slant your fingers... gotta have that neck caressed in your hands bro!

[theotherguitarmansam]

you got a good cover going on. but, some constructive criticism: You got all the notes rightand on spot. but thats not what this song is about. try adding a twist to it, of improvising some. that way, your cover is origional. also, it would have sounded better with a less nervous tone, a little deeper with more gain. but, all in all, a very good cover.

[yoyonerd27]

i agree

[DaisukeMoriyama]

I was very impressed man! What kinda amp do you have?

[loganenorris]

all i use are two practice amps. the bigger one is a Peavey Rage 158 and i sit a tiny little amp, that i got for free when i bought my BC Rich Beast, on top of it. the Beast is real crisp and the Peavey is good for bass so i just connected to two

[loganenorris]

lol thanks, brother

[AlphaWinky]

shame its an epiphone...amiright?

[loganenorris]

yea its an epiphone. i would love a gibson, but it's not too bad

[MRFLO73]

yeah, sounds decent. i'd just work on your legato. a little choppy. but that's easily fixed.

[heyitstheo47]

great cover 5 stars

i suggest u redo it when your not so "rusty"

see the full potential

im not asking anything though do it if you want lol

[loganenorris]

Thanks man! i would love to do a redo...i play this shit all the time so it should be better...if not then im in trouble, lol

[XJunesongXProvisionX]

Yeah true that. Most the people who leave shitty comments have no clue how big of a difference there is between live play, and the studio version. Whoever says you did bad...or that you suck needs to get a life. Playing live.......ridiculously different. I play in a coheed tribute band. I'll try to put some vids on here....but man....i have heard your vocals to....they are great. Your guitar playing is great as well. The hardest thing for me was learning to sing and play at the same time.UR good

[loganenorris]

thanks man! i wish i new enought musicians that like coheed as much as i do to start a tribute band. that must be the bees knees

[hubertj4]

YOU DID FRIGEN AWSOME ON THE solo MAN NICE JOb. PS DO YOU USE EMGS IN YOUR GUIITAR

[loganenorris]

thanks man! i didn't have emgs in this video, but i do now.

[thegamepodcast]

Don't listen to all the people bashinig it. It takes balls to post something on YouTube, especially a song like this where there are solos. You did fine, it sounded fine, and your tone was fine. It's a damned recording, people! It's not going to sound up to par with Coheed's mix.

[ootpt2]

this is good bro

the way i play it it sounds weirder

do you have tabs for the way you play it?

or did you just teach yourself?

anyways, its good.

keep it up man! :D

[loganenorris]

thanks man...yeah i tought myself when i first got the album and have made improvements since, but i made a tab myself too

[loganenorris]

i did kind of a bad job on this cover so i wouldn't use it too readily...i had been learning stuff from the new album and hadn't tuned down to play Good Apollo so i was rusty when i recorded this.

[loganenorris]

yea the solos are what i am disappointed in...in this video that is.

[XaleManix]

I've never seen the intro tabbed out like that anywhere...

its interesting.

am I commenting on your videos too much?

[loganenorris]

that is just the way i learned it when i first heard the song...and comment all you want brother...i dont mind

[XaleManix]

YAY! :D

when I learned the intro, it was tabbed on the D and G strings, starting on the 12th freth and being otherwise no different, just higher up the neck and on different strings. :D

look at me, using emoticons on comments... I feel so juvenile.

[XxSedzonexX]

You played it well...BUT change your settings. More bass. More practice!!

[TheodoreCao]

tone sucks

but playing was awesome :]

[loganenorris]

yea, i am working on that...plus i couldv'e stood to practice a little longer before recording

[TheodoreCao]

but yea playing was good :]

[loganenorris]

right on! thanks man

[stephenrettie]

get a new amp, playing wasnt bad but the tone hurts

[loganenorris]

thanks...but i screwed this cover up since i hadn't played it in so long...i know it better now and as far as the amps go...you're right!!! i just can't afford a cab right now...my tone does sound better now though cause i got new pick ups and new wah pedal and i have toned down the gain and adjusted the amps i do have (two layered practice amps) but i totally agree with you!

[prinsesstarta]

crazy good song, good cover. couldn´t have done it better!

[loganenorris]

i actually think i could do much better now. i was a bit rusty when i recorded this

[naggerguy8]

=0 holy shit dude, you are mad good bro. you got some talent, i think that one of these days, if you have the time, you should post a tutorial video for some of your songs, cause your really good bro, well hit me up sometime man. L8R- Naggerguy8

[loganenorris]

thanks man i appreciate it. some one has already asked me for a time consumer tutorial, which i am still working on (i am trying to write an original song at the moment) so if you or anybody who doesnt know how to play a coheed song, more than likely i know it and will try to make a tutorial

[joeyadler2266]

soooo good

[loganenorris]

thanks...but i can do so much better now

[joeyadler2266]

still very impressive

[loganenorris]

well thanks, lol

[marshallfan892]

i could never do this in one take. couldnt remember hahaha.

[loganenorris]

after i refreshed my memory i am so much better at this song now...i could probably do it in one take cause i play the solo all the time...i am trying to work on my improv though

[marshallfan892]

it is a lot of fun to play, and this does help you with improv if u r trying.

[Bobderpie]

Explorers Forever!

[loganenorris]

right on man!

[JackStrat2]

its very good guy, you just need to work out the tone (though that could just be the recording). May be grab some pedals for the blues effects on the second half of the outro.

[loganenorris]

thanks dude...yea, i am trying to find a Sparkle Drive cheap along with a Boss NS-2, TU-2, and GE-7...i bought a Dimebag CFH wah since this video (as well as remmembered how to play this song correctly, lol). i also need a reverb pedal...Holy Grail maybe

[shizmcgiz]

no your guitar is awesome...you just need to manipulate a little more for better tone. Im sorry maybe Im just picky you play good though!

[loganenorris]

well thanks, i have put EMG's in it and added a Dimebag Crybaby From Hell to the MXR ZW-44 (although i am probably gonna sell it and get a Sparkle Drive for a beefier/crisper tone) since this video so the tone is a bit better...what else would you suggest i do (i am gonna get a Boss NS-2, TU-2, and GE-7 as well)

[shizmcgiz]

this song should not be covered. All amateurs really put it to shame , especially the last solo!

[loganenorris]

this is a bad cover, but why should the song not be covered? that's just stupid...if you like the song, if you can play it, or even if you can't play it...you should still make a cover for comstructive criticism at least...and what do you mean last solo?

[shizmcgiz]

the tone of the last solo is so fat and beautiful and hearing people play it on shitty guitars is annoying

[loganenorris]

are you calling my guitar shitty? i mean i know it's not a Gibson, but still...you're kinda coming of as an ass dude

[spaff61]

lets hear you do it ass wipe

[VoteForClaudio]

it sounds like your using like a 15 watt amp ro soemthign along those lines lol its not bad tho none of the less

[loganenorris]

thanks (for both comments) but yea, i should really redo this cover cause i made it after i hadn't played this song in forever (idk why i didn't practice first) but i think i used a 40 watt amp here. but now (because i am cheap) i ran a splitter between a 15 and a 40 watt amp, the 15 has a bass tone cause it is a B.C. Rich amp and the Peavey (40 watt) gives more treble...so i have a semi-half decent rig set up, lol

[VoteForClaudio]

its pretty good except your off tune lol

not bad

[foxtrot459]

you should tune the b-string before playin a solo ;-)

But I still think NOVAKAINE127 is write you didn't play it THAT well, but anyway, at least you try and I bet you'll get better soon...

and about this posting mean stuff: is that nessecary?

[novakaine127]

i try really hard not to be an asshole to people like you but for FUCKS sake stop putting covers on youtube if you dont know how to play the song well. please. think of it as a personal favor to all of us. that was by far the worst attempt at the solo ive ever seen

[loganenorris]

like you're so amazing? think of it as a personal favor to all of us, Stop trash talking shit about people unless you can do better...your little 2113 attempt was far from anything remotly good and you want other people to quit posting bad covers? i will say that i am better at the solo now then i was i was in this video...but still better than you

[novakaine127]

honestly, youre not. ive played every song youve covered and i can confidently say i am better. as for the 2113 solo youre right, however take the following into consideration.

1. Its not one full cover. youve posted countless

2. Its played on acoustic so you cant make a fair comparison

3. though not error free, the notes are corrected. I wouldn't have the nerve to post anything if i have to guess at the notes to play

[loganenorris]

Oh OK! like you said i have posted countless full covers so what is stopping you if your so good. and i am glad you can play my covers, that i posted like a year ago, better than i could then, but guess what, so can i! its a matter of practice. if you wanna have a "cover-off" just name the song...since youre better than me you shouldn't have too big of a problem right?

[novakaine127]

ill get back to you on that cover off as soon as i get my hands on a digital camera. give it like 3 days

[loganenorris]

k...listen...im about over this petty internet arguement so lets say we make it a friendly cover off and instead of taking shots at each other we give each other constructive criticism...eh?

[novakaine127]

im down. you can pick the song

[loganenorris]

alrighty...how about "Ten Speed"...it has a pretty cool verse and a banging solo! plus it is one i haven't covered yet. sound cool?

[iandude69]

hes too emo for me nice guitar tho

[loganenorris]

thanks about the guitar, but you are gay...i am sorry, but "EMO"?...really? 1)you don't know me and plus there is nothing emo about someone playing guitar, therefore there is nothing emo about me in this video, giving you no excuse to call me emo...the fact that you are even calling me emo makes you look like a tool

[iandude69]

look at ur hair emo..

[loganenorris]

ooh, i have semi-long hair that is combed slightly to the side!...good argument

[loganenorris]

ooh, i have semi-long hair that is combed slightly to the side!...good argument

[erikd2004]

hey dude im think about getin an xplorer you have a polished natural looks sweet but it comes with a white pick gaurd did you buy a black one? or custom?

[loganenorris]

yea it was custom, but it was only like $40 or so at pickguardheaven. com. you just pick out the material, the ply, the style and email the people there...you why have to mail them your old pickguard tho

[tenspeed234]

The intro wasn't that good, and you sort of butchered the solos, but at least you got the rhythm parts down decently.

[loganenorris]

well i was playing along with an acoustic performance so that is why the intro isn't as good as it could've been and i didn't play this song for a while before i made this since the new album and all the others are in standard so i forgot some parts of the solo (plus i wasn't used to playing it on this guitar) but i don't think i butchered it...i may not have done it justice, but...

[mcdrusso]

Don't listen to him. It's popular to hate on EMGs now. I have EMG-81 in my explorer's bridge and an EMG-60 in the neck. Great tones. 81 sucks on clean but the 60 is amazing. They have been doing the active thing much longer than Seymour. Rock on.

[loganenorris]

oh...cool, lol. why is it popular to hate EMGs?

[TwistedGreen]

I used to love them, but then I realized how they inhibit any growth in playing, and if you MUST have an active pickup go for a DiMarzio D-Activator.

It is a passive, but with all you could want out of an active without it being completely dead.

[coheedXandXcambria]

love this song and have you seen the music video

[loganenorris]

yea...pretty intense...it is cool how claudio did it himself

[coheedXandXcambria]

ya kinda disturbing though

[loganenorris]

that's what makes it good man, lol

[coheedXandXcambria]

ya got a point there ha!

[manthatiscool]

hey where can i see the music video? i heard about it a long time ago and then heard it would never be released.

[dumb1bitch2its3jaimz]

well... i found it on youtube, i searched claudio sanchez and the video came up. its amazing. he did it at home with his grilfriend because they wouldnt let him do a real vid of it(producers thought the song was to long? something like that.)

[manthatiscool]

thanks.

[GodsentHellraiser]

Need a bit more crunch in that tone bro :]

This is still one of my favorite Coheed songs. It's so powerful and holds so much emotion.

[loganenorris]

i agree this song is amazing...and i went to guitar center and played almost every single distortion and overdrive pedal and this one (Zakk Wylde overdrive) was the only pedal that didn't have too much distortion and the only overdrive that didn't have a too small amount of gain

[GodsentHellraiser]

I've been meaning to go to GC sometime soon, but the closest one here is in Orlando >:[

[loganenorris]

you know what other pedal i could get to make the tone a little more crunchy?

[GodsentHellraiser]

I use a Line 6 Tonecore Crunchtone overdrive.

It's a hundred bucks, but I like it on low for Coheed, and crank it up for some metal.

[loganenorris]

cool...yea, i was gonna get it at one point but i didn't think it had enough crunch, but with the one i have now it should rock pretty hardcore man, lol, thanks

[dumb1bitch2its3jaimz]

wow, you are amazing at this song. good job man!

[loganenorris]

hey thanks...i was alot better but when no world for tomorrow came out i never tuned my guitar down the half step to play GA1 songs so i got rusty...as you could tell from when i just forgot what i was supposed to play, lol

[dumb1bitch2its3jaimz]

lol, i alwasy have one of mine in drop d because i never no what im gonna play. but im usually playing co&ca which is usually drop d or standard i believe.

[loganenorris]

yea, but they switched it up with GA1 being a half step down

[TheEndCompleteIII]

did you put new pickups?

[loganenorris]

sho nuff...the epiphone soap bars just weren't cutting...they didn't have sustain to save my life so i bought some gibson les paul humbuckers...i was gonna get some EMGs like Claudio, but they are like $100 a peice so...

[TheEndCompleteIII]

TRUTH.

[TwistedGreen]

Don't get EMGs dude, big mistake.

(and Claudio finally switched back to Gibson stock)

[loganenorris]

actually he just put a set of those zebra pick ups (like slash has) in the cherry Explorer...but why are EMGs a mistake?

[djhcomet]

how do u no he switched to "zebra" pick ups.. and what do u mean by that?

[loganenorris]

i saw a recent pictue of him and those were the pickups he was using...you know those pickups that are half black and half white? (like Slash)

[djhcomet]

oh ok now i see what u mean, no i havent seen em

[loganenorris]

...ok well i may have just had a dream about it or something cause i can't find the picture that i saw, lol, but if i do i will let you know

[TwistedGreen]

I haven't seen those pictures either, and EMG's are just... ugh, dead.

[loganenorris]

oh, well...yea i am starting think i dreamed seeing that picture...lol, but i swear it seems like i did see it

[aaLeMo12]

eMo ^_^

[aaLeMo12]

dO u kNow tHE NO WORLD FOR TOMORROW ^_^

[loganenorris]

yea...check my other videos, it is in there...and emo i am not

[shingpow27]

sick as shit man nice guitar too

[loganenorris]

thanks dude...it would have been alot better but i have not played it in so long so i had to pretty much re-learn the solo

[aaLeMo12]

wOw ^_^
