[rockgod364]

[cataclysmichael]

@rockgod364

I've been thinking about starting a separate channel with that kind of stuff, but I simply don't have time :(

[Dethbrin]

what effect is that in the solo?

[cataclysmichael]

@Dethbrin

Digitech whammy

[andreasmariosetiawan]

i just learn this song on my keyboard.. i never try on guitar..hehehe,, NICE MAN!!

[aiko437]

cool guitar

[ganado12]

wow =D

[iromelissa]

bravo!!

[repticular]

is this a hard song

[cataclysmichael]

@repticular

Depends on who is playing it I guess...

[repticular]

@cataclysmichael ive been playingfor about little over a year

[cataclysmichael]

@repticular

Try and see :)

[MixatoFreeKill]

@repticular not :)

really simple... just training the arpegios with pick

[musicismyworldgurl]

Omg you are fucking amazing. I couldnt do that if my life depended on it. But it doesnt mean I cant try, lol, but I'll most likely screw up. What tab did you use? Or did you do it by ear?

[cataclysmichael]

@musicismyworldgurl

Thank you. I think I learned it by ear. It's some time ago now :P

[headasplod3]

That solo was fucking stunning.

[crystumi]

the guitar is brilliant!!

i thought you were interpreting matt well then i realised ^_^

[thedoublepack]

good cover dude what effects pedal do you use for the solo :) 5/5

[cataclysmichael]

@thedoublepack

Thanks. It's a digitech whammy.

[xDragonFightresSx]

That was awesome!

Can you pleeease send me some tabs?

[tuinstoel77]

this is the first song i ever heard by muse.

ur video makes me want to learn it to on guitar :)

[trolicos]

SX?

[cataclysmichael]

@trolicos

...?

[Rearviewmirror3000]

My god your Class :D

Dude that's insane :D:D:D

Please try and put up a video of Glorious:D

And for those of you who don't know that,

Its a B-side from MUSE:D:D:D:D:D

Look it up sometime ppl,

It Class :P hahaha

[cataclysmichael]

I already have a few songs I want to do by them before that :P

[Rearviewmirror3000]

@cataclysmichael

Yeah that's cool but try it at least:D

I mean I tried but failed:(

I'd say you'd do pretty well at it tho covering Glorious tho:D

[eurghyoureodd]

Mate you rock! ive been trying to learn this song for a while now and im struggling at it (especially at the piano bit at beggining)

You have skills

[acinderkmcr]

wo0o0o0o0o0w good work =o

you can give me the tabs?

please?

[cataclysmichael]

Hey man, I´m sorry, but I don´t have any tabs. I mostly learn the songs that I play by ear. Try listening and looking at this video, maybe you can figure it out, it´s good practice you know ;)

[alimansurr]

thats great! 5 stars

could you please make a tutorial for this song?

that would be awesome :D:D

[cataclysmichael]

Thanks man. I recorded this videos years ago. Would have to re-learn it to make a tutorial, hehe.

[alimansurr]

^^

if you could do that it would be great!

i tried to learn it with the tabs but it didnt work :(

[tylerallison70]

Great work Michael, the best cover I've heard of this version yet. It was choppy on the sweeping, but it's 1000x better than I could do it. Really makes one respect Matt all the more as an artist. 5/5 stars!

[J6hn]

Hey man good work with this, you should check out my version of this and tell me what you think. I don't have a whammy, so the solos a bit different and I played the verse a little differently. You might be interested to see.

[Dragonsrule999]

Mate Thats Sick

The Sweeping At The End Sounded Fine Lol

I Cant Do Em For Shit Lol

[weeman5872]

Awesome cover =D

What octave do you have the whammy pedal set to in the solo?

[cataclysmichael]

I don´t remember. Either 1 or 2. I don´t have that pedal anymore so I can´t find out :P

[Darioauli]

Its 2 octaves, i play the solo like you, but I have problems with the arpegios for the verse, awesome cover :) sorry my bad english im from Argentina...

[BigRockeur]

Is it an Ibanez??

(I've got a "Gio Ibanez", an I love that)

I'm french, sorry for the english ! =)

[cataclysmichael]

It´s a Ibanez Universe (UV777) It´s sold now though.

[ortovision]

I'm Spanish, sorry for my english, But..

What Effect (pedal) have you used in the Solo???

Its crazy !!

[cataclysmichael]

I use a digitech whammy pedal for the solothingy

[TomasRusRodriguez]

i'm from spain i'm a fan's muse and your version it's very good.congratulations.

i don't speak english i'm sorry

[cataclysmichael]

Thanks. I understand your english =)

[TomasRusRodriguez]

ok.

[Puzzledminded]

sweeping wasnt too bad. dont want to seem like an upstart and state the obvious, but slowing it down and practicing will make you get it spot on. damn nice guitar also.

quick question, what grade pick are you using, sounds at times like you'd suit a thinner one?! forgive me if im wrong, its just a thought.

[cataclysmichael]

Thanks man. I know that already. I'm just not patience enough, hehe. I use Jazz III picks. I've tried thinner, but I like the jazz better. Just feels like I ahve more control with it. Keep in mind that this is recorded almost 2 years ago, so I have improved a bit since then :P

[LihiSB]

Awesome !so pretty

what the chords?

[cataclysmichael]

Thanks. I've never been into theory so I don't know what the chords are named, haha.

[LihiSB]

haha nvm..keep rocking

[DiosHARDROCK]

its the best cover!

[VoonlapseMertigo]

There is an acoustic version of this, which is easier.

Not that I can play it, because I suck, but it's certainly simpler than that torturous-looking thing you're doing so far up on the neck.

Great covers, by the way. Muse AND Opeth.

interhugs to you

[cataclysmichael]

I know Matthew don't play the higher part live. But I haven't seen that acoustic version. Thanks.

[Foz8675]

great cover mate. may i ask what type of whammy pedal u are using?

[cataclysmichael]

thanks man, digitech whammy is the pedal.

[saadat1ariel]

can you send me the tabs?

[cataclysmichael]

If I use tabs I delete them after I've used them. I find all tabs on the internet though. Just google it ;)

[Bhstennis09]

Nice you even had time for a back scratch

[cataclysmichael]

Haha, actually it was the cable of the headphones that was annoying :P

[jarjoe]

what is this cool muse distordion drop d ? and great cover you're best :)

[cataclysmichael]

It's standard tuning =)

[Escape1234567]

awsome guitar

[cataclysmichael]

Thanks, unfortunately I've sold it :\

[gregia7]

[xixGuardianxix]

[chami86]

[cataclysmichael]

[JoesFuzz]

Ah then, I think i'm going to passssss xD Check my Micro Cuts cover, it has crap vocals too! Lawl :p

[IIIAliAsIII]

[00fle00fle]

[Siostra94]

Hi! Could U add other muse cover? For example "Bliss", "Knights of Cydonia" or "Hyper music"? :)

[jarjoe]

good job !!

[Grog85]

This cover is one of the best muse covers I have seen. In fact its one of the best covers of a song on youtube that I have seen so far. That end part was awesome, didn't think it could get better. :D

Are the tab/choards from the Muse tab book?

[cataclysmichael]

best cover on youtube, hehe, I dont think so, but thank you. I just used a tab I found on the internet..

[soyeah89]

[spikelive]

awasome guitar cover!great editing!!

[stratogustav]

Angra, Blind Guardian, Dark Moor, Gamma Ray, Helloween, Kamelot, Rhapsody Of Fire, Stratovarius, are more like my generation; but I like the new generation of bands too, many of the bands of the new generation are old too anyway.

[cataclysmichael]

Ive heard some of the bands... its just not my thing...

[stratogustav]

that's too bad; but at least you have some good taste with the heavier bands

[stratogustav]

I never heard of this band, maybe because is not related to the metal styles I'm use to listen to, but nice playing anyway. Will you ever try some melodic speed? I don't know, something like Angra, Blind Guardian, Gamma Ray or Helloween.

[cataclysmichael]

I dont know.... maybe. I dont listen to any of those bands though..

[stratogustav]

yeah you are more like the new generation, is cool tho

[ian2332]

Dude, angras progressive power and the rest are power. Not speed melodic.

[362mike362]

Yea man, their old stuff is the best. But i must say im glad the newest album brought them fame. They deserve it.

[362mike362]

Man, playing an awsome cover of my favourite band. You just got yourself a subscriber.

[cataclysmichael]

hehe... thanks man. One of my favourite bands too. I dont think the new albums is as good as the old ones though :(

[drawnacrol]

awesome playing Mike,never watched this video before

[cataclysmichael]

thanks man... Im uploading a new video right now! feel free to check it out :)

[welshdrummer]

Man, wat an effort! i think u played most parts well my friend, and the sound u've got 4 the whole song is just amazing :)

[cataclysmichael]

thanks man

[0V3CHKiN]

Good work! Great song and band.

[aduku]

Brilliant work. Matt would be proud. Also, that's some pretty awesome video editing skills you got there with the foot pedal showing up in the little box and everything.

[magictusks]

what guitar is that? :)

[13thSentinel]

You can't be serious... Your sweeping isn't bad... how do you make your sound quality so good?

[cataclysmichael]

I think its sloppy ... I connect my amp directly to the soundcard of my computer.

[13thSentinel]

Oh... alright... I thought so... thanks... keep rockin' dude. ^_^

[p0nek]

I'm pretty far from gay but I love you man, I just adore your playing! You give me motivation, a lot of it! ;) I hope that when I'll be 20 like you now, I'll be quarter as good as you are.. Hope you've found a band, it would be a pity if you wouldn't develop your talent ;) cheers.

[cataclysmichael]

thank you very much man... just practice and you'll play better than me ;) ...good luck ^^

[weird8twiggy]

i didnt know you like muse. :)

a friend i had a little while back introduced me to them. :)

[cataclysmichael]

I pretty much loved them a couple of years ago. Learned about every single song from their two first albums... hehe. I still like them, but I dont think the latest albums is that good :\

[derloX]

nice video dude! I liked the sweeping :) btw, that Ibanez good to play? do it have low action? You know I really want one by myself, but i can't afford it yet ^^

[cataclysmichael]

thanks. the sweepig suck, but I did my best... its such a weird pattern to play. the universe is very good to play... I used it one this one because I couldnt play some of the stuff on my other guitar :P I bought it used, half the price =)

[derloX]

thanks for the information :P half the price! man that's a good deal ^^ I'm so jealous on you right now!! I'm norwgian too btw, but i write in english so other people understand ^^

[Tomclarkdeathshred]

very nice! love your sound aswell. please comment one of my videos

[trashedandstrungout]

i hate the vai lol stick to your esp

[cataclysmichael]

why is that?

[Parker731]

pretty impressive playin man

[kaellinn18]

Haha, you think you suck?? Man, I wish I sucked as bad as you. :-) Nice playing!

[cataclysmichael]

Im decent, but I play a bit sloppy on this one, and me sweep-picking sucks :P

[bodomfan81]

that was awesome playing. if you wanna be good at sweeping i recommend to practice intro to psalm of lydia (nevermore). once you can play that sweep at speed you will be able to play any sweep pretty much.

[cataclysmichael]

haha... those nevermore sweeps are pretty insane :\

[antareus]

Amazing, would love to see this whole song in one go some day!

[cataclysmichael]

thanks... what do you mean, in one go?

[antareus]

At the one minute mark it looks like the video stopped momentarily...presumably, so you could adjust settings and whatnot?

The picture-in-picture is so tight though. Is that a WH-4?

[cataclysmichael]

yes... I fade it out and fade a new one in again... I ahve to do that because I dont got any footswitch, so I cant change from clean to distortion you know...

Its an ibanez universe...

[Epidem1c]

Neida :P Men dette var dritbra! Har blitt skikkelig dilla på denne sangen nå :p

[Epidem1c]

det på slutten der ser helt sjukt ut da :P

[cataclysmichael]

bare synd det høres bæsj ut :P

[Sammyman7]

keep up the great work, nice to see you do something softer and more tranquil, although I love your metal covers as well!

[cataclysmichael]

thanks man. muse was one of my favourite bands before, and I still like them very much, but the new albums isnt that good imo...

[tophelofghenna]

i still say grand conjuration =p, or or or, walk with me in hell by lamb of god

[cataclysmichael]

theres waaay to much good songs out there :P

[rasse]

promise a alol one too! i'll maybe even make my own cover of either vulture or rehashed. the solo on vulture's just giving me a major headache

[cataclysmichael]

hehe... no more promises... but Ill see what I can do :)

[rasse]

+ atleast vulture and rehashed are fun to play. hadn't had the time to learn any more alol songs

[cataclysmichael]

yeah, alol rocks, and it doesnt take to long learning a song either :) but I better do a dimmu borgir song first, said to a guy that I was going to do one, and thats some months ago :P

[frenchredskin]

that guy... is me!! ad it'd sure be great!!

[cataclysmichael]

so exposed to severe strain. now it really have to be good... after all this time! :P

[frenchredskin]

dun worry i won't blame you if some parts suck lol!!

[rasse]

I vote for more a life once lost :O that vulture cover was sweet

[adil2552]

You gotta play living dead beat.

[cataclysmichael]

If Im going to do one more from that album it will be trashed, lost & strung out...

[adil2552]

that's cool too:)

[triggsy6969]

wow nice vid man, makes a change, dw bout the sweeping at the end, it still sound n looks gr8 lol, its far better than wat i can play so meh 2 it lol, fastest solo i can play is good charlotte - the river lmao ah well

gr8 cover anyways

[hackologue]

awesone.....forever

[frenchredskin]

i can't tell you if it's good cuz you made me discover the song... never heard it before... but I give you 4... now... will the next be "blessings..."?? :P Oh by the way... do you speak french?...

[cataclysmichael]

hehe... maaaybe... you gave only me 4? just forget the blessing song man!! haha. just kidding. I can say "my name is michael" in french, but thats about it :P

[frenchredskin]

héhé... and when are you gonna cover the song?? :). the only norwegian word i can tell you right now is: Vredesbyrd I think... I dunno what it means though...

[cataclysmichael]

hehe... that dimmu song... maybe Ill tru to record it this weekend... dont know what to do with the solo though, the "solo" I guess... cant really hear what is played, and the tabs are wrong :P

[frenchredskin]

play the rythm part then ;) lol...

[frenchredskin]

or you still can try to play kings of the carnival creation... it'd be great to see a long vid you know...

[beachbooger]

i always love watching you funny thing was i was practising how to sweep before

[siflou]

dude nice job again as i always say keep playing you are a god :P and keep posting :) you are really good

[cataclysmichael]

thank you

[sirlimecat]

Awsome man, iv seen you do metal, your very versitile

[cataclysmichael]

thanks, I listen to all kind of genres, so I cover what I listen to you know. its mostly metal though, because thats what I listen to the most :P

[wilson6907]

Yeah man thats cool how you arranged piano to guitar, looks pretty difficult but you did very well like in all of your videos :)
