[arth120]

Kickass vid

[MrTenshiSenpai]

Nice job dude. like it.

[thedeadserv]

@MrTenshiSenpai Thanks! Glad you liked it!

[EthanEsquivel]

This would have been better if you actually stepped down

[thedeadserv]

@EthanEsquivel huh?

[EthanEsquivel]

@thedeadserv

it doesnt sound like youre in Eb tuning

[thedeadserv]

@EthanEsquivel hmmm... well, they are. :)

[EthanEsquivel]

@thedeadserv ah well then forget that

[MrTenshiSenpai]

@thedeadserv this does sound like its in Eb tuning.

[thedeadserv]

@MrTenshiSenpai I honstly don't remember what it's called. But all you have to do is tune it 1/2 a step down from E standard. So...

[SymbolicX5461]

@thedeadserv its called half-step down tuning



[MikeSparksMusic]

This was always one of my favorite songs off of "Jar of Flies (EP)." Great cover dude, all that's missing is the cello.

[thedeadserv]

@MikeSparksMusic thanks. would've put the cello if I did it now, though heheh. Tks for the comment!

[ChaosRiddenReaper]

9 people are faggot arse bandits

[thedeadserv]

@rockefeller05 hehehhe! Gracias!

[FromHopeToHate]

what effects did you use on the electrics?

[thedeadserv]

@FromHopeToHate OD n reverb.

[nirvanaxmetal999]

what program you use to put 3 videos at the same time, tell me please, thank you very much:)

[thedeadserv]

@nirvanaxmetal999 hmm I used Adobe Premiere on this one but there's also Pinnacle Studio, Corel Video Studio, loads of 'em dude!

[S1MN05]

Can you refer me to the tabs you used please? Thanks.

[thedeadserv]

@S1MN05 unfortunately I don't use tabs.

[cmonabear]

Cool!

[thedeadserv]

@cmonabear Tks!

[EmeraldRebecca521]

Wow, that's pretty intense! Awesome job!

[thedeadserv]

@EmeraldRebecca521 AiC is always intense hehehe! Tks!

[burnmehdown214]

You nailed it like a high powered nailgun!

[thedeadserv]

@burnmehdown214

hahah! Nice!

[csnymoodiesfan]

Thanks for showing how to do this. So am I to assume that this was never done for a live show unless they had several guitarists?

[thedeadserv]

heh. They used this to open their gigs. Dunno if they still do. But it was a track running. Not played live.

[bigblockelectra]

@csnymoodiesfan might be able to do it with some sort of pitch shifting pedal. would sound better with 2 players i'm sure.

[thedeadserv]

@bigblockelectra you can always use a harmonizer effect with one of the harmonics doing either the lower or the higher note, but pitch shifting would spoil this IMO. But yeah, nothing beats 2 players!

[NIRVANA4LIFE123]

Where'd you get thee TABS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thedeadserv]

In my friggin HEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wereign9999]

word

[thedeadserv]

heh... now there's a word for this... lol! tks!

[MaximD666]

nice job dude you nailed it

[thedeadserv]

Heheh! Thanks! Glad you liked it!

[thedeadserv]

very nice comment! hehehe!

[joshuatjohnson]

This is awesome.

[thedeadserv]

Thanks!

[McKellster93]

You should be.

[McKellster93]

Wow. Beautiful cover.

[thedeadserv]

Yeah. hehe! I'm proud. lulz. Tks for the comment!

[PearlJamm]

very nice. good song too

[thedeadserv]

Thanks! And yes it is a great tune!

[ecwmatt]

Thats gotta be hard to play the song on one guitar then play it again but 1 fret lower the whole time good job dude.

[thedeadserv]

Heh. Not really. It just feels like two different riffs to me. At least it's easier for me to think that way.

Tks for the comment!

[SalandFindles]

Perfect!

[thedeadserv]

Lulz, tks.

[hybernatinghuman]

well, it turns out I'll be thanking you for the peak at how you've positioned your right hand on the acco.

thank you

[thedeadserv]

LOL! by "right hand fingering" I hope you mean "picking" lol... cuz that's what u do with your right hand.. at least on a guitar hehehe! Yeah, I kinda didnt mind it after I recorded cuz I thought "What the heck! They've got the chords!" meh... anywho, hope it was at least helpful.

Tks for the comment!

[hybernatinghuman]

I just started learning this song and decided to check out what the right hand fingering pattern is through this site.

Stumbled upon your talent for video/audio mixing... AT THE SAME TIME!

wowee.

rock on man.

[Batlord100]

WOw this is awesome!!! you rock dude!!!!

[thedeadserv]

Tks! Glad you liked it!

[duduvenom]

Muito bom! Adoro essa música! Parabéns aqui do Brasil

[thedeadserv]

Obrigadão mano! Abraço aqui de Portugal!

[stoob1969]

I just read that Jar of Flies took 1 week to write and record! Awesome.

Thanks for this

[thedeadserv]

That's shit hard to believe, but I'm guessing they might just be that good... ehehehehe!

Tks for the commnet!

[GodlyVayne]

A few minor mistakes, but hey, im a guitarist and i know how that goes haha. I thought this was a great cover man. I loved how close your guitars sound is to the original song. Really, if i didnt see the video i would have though this was the real song haha. Keep up the great work!

[thedeadserv]

TKs bro! Glad you liked it! And will do! ROCK ON!!!

[smallarmsdealerak47]

Same here, everyone makes mistakes it's too easy to get lost in the music and forget you still have to play a song...but to the point...that was a great cover, are you using a reverb effect on the opening riff guitar bends I never understood it

[thedeadserv]

oh, I just noticed I missed that question.

I do think I have a wide reverb on all 3 guitars trough the whole song to give them that deep tunnel feel the original has.

[raymondjiii]

Awesome! loved the split video

[thedeadserv]

Tks! Glad you liked it!

[Mangledcorpse]

rock on dude! nice cover

AIC are the best \m/

[thedeadserv]

Tks! Will do!

[littleLight69]

wow... that rocked.

I always wanted to learn that song but never got around to it, its awsome. you got some tabs for me? :P kidding hehe

[thedeadserv]

Tks! And nope lolz! Awesome job with your videos dude. Keep putting 'em up cuz you got it down really good! ROCK ON!!!

[dude24122]

dude great cover!!! do you think you can send me those tabs? ur acoustic sounds pretty good too.5 stars

[thedeadserv]

Thanks but unfortunately I don't use tabs... you'll have to make do with the vid. That's the whole purpose heheh.

Best of luck!

[msrysignals]

are you down for taking some Alice in Chains requests?

[thedeadserv]

Sure, I have a load of them pending, cuz I haven't the time to do videos for a while, but I might do it soon... depends on the time I manage to have.

Hit me...

[msrysignals]

it'd be a real challenge for ya cause I definitely haven't seen any covers or any decent tabs out there, but, if you could take a stab at "Shame In You" off their Self Titled album, that would be amazing.

[thedeadserv]

Well, I don't use tabs so there's no challenge there. Thing is the song is almost 6 min long and has loads of little details that make it what it is.

It's gonna take me longer to remember them, than to learn them. Still, I've got some things pending to upload so it should take me about 2 weeks. Subscribe if you haven't already, cuz there's some kewl stuff coming (prolly more AiC too). 'Till then, greets!

[falco8989]

Nice cover, I enjoyed it.

[thedeadserv]

Tks! Glad you liked it!

[mommytiller26]

5 stars. this helps a lot. thanks

[thedeadserv]

Tks! Glad you liked it!

[travmasterflashz]

I was thinking about doing a cover like this, but I'm not quite sure how to sync it all the guitars up as well as you did. Great cover by the way! :)

[thedeadserv]

thanks! glad you liked it!

Hmm all I did was play along with the original and record each guitar alone. That keeps the sync. I could've put the original on the background and you'd see its' perfectly synced with it. The sync betweeen guitars is done when editing. Simple stuff if you try it.

Best of luck and ROCK ON!!!

[travmasterflashz]

Right on, I was thinking of just tapping out a tempo and just record everything like that but listening to the actual piece while recording is a good idea too. Only thing sucks for me though is my headset is attached to my microphone! ha! I'll see what I can come up with!

[Atomic285]

hey bud, excellent cover of this song, one of my fav songs from AiC. Check my cover of it out when you can, lemme know what you think.

[thedeadserv]

hey dude! glad you liked it! yours is great also! nicely done! I'd love to actually see you play it but the sound pretty much does the trick. ehheh! keep it up!!!

[erasedcitizen77]

very cool, very cool. ive always wanted to make a multitrack but im not good with windows movie maker

[thedeadserv]

nice, glad you liked it! I used premiere though.

I'd love to see you play this dude! You got some nice vids! Make sure you upload this and share it here!

ROCK ON!!!

[XxSconeManxX]

woaaah...I'm surprised someone did a cover of this. Nice overdubs, 5/5.

[thedeadserv]

Yeah, I was surprised when I saw there was not one decent cover of it.

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

[CSdeadwing]
