Veil of Maya - Unbreakable (Guitar Cover)

[TheMichaelclark]

dude, your me, I have an ibanez Rg guitar, bose headphones, and turtle beaches O.o

[AlucardXIX]

@TheMichaelclark Ahaha, I don't have that RG anymore though!

[JOEapc7]

Dude BADASS! Ending sooo sick

[hendrixxr4r]

I'm having such a hard time getting that ending breakdown rhythm. Any tips?

[AlucardXIX]

@hendrixxr4r It's a pattern. I learned it by actually writing the pattern down on paper(which it's already written in my tab on Ultimate Guitar) and just basically memorizing where it restarts itself. 

[Pacino0712]

Sick cover, man. Nice guitar too, my weapon of choice as well. Me and my band are opening for Veil of Maya, Carnifex, Structures and Betraying the Martyrs and Born of Osiris on The Discovery tour tonight in Tampa, FL. Gonna be an epic show.

[AlucardXIX]

@Pacino0712 Fuckin hell dude, I live in Tampa. I can't make it because I have work in the morning. Seriously wish this show were on Friday instead =/

[lolyermad]

that was a fucking monstrous cover man ur a fucking boss at guitar lol

[Stickgoncraz]

Fucking epic :)

[Slide9740]

Hooooooolly Fuck Dude. That Was Fucking KICKASS. Sick Fucking Cover. 

[LMAFRO]

hahah i just looked up this guys tab!!

[GumballMachine13]

waw great playing

[acudeath]

GREAT COVER!

[NeroDimanghene]

Amazing man!!!! you are great!

[gianniswildchild]

What gauge are you using?im using the 12s form ernie ball,the low E buzzes as fuck,any tips?

[AlucardXIX]

@gianniswildchild I use 12's too, but D'Addario. The low string on this guitar buzzed like all hell, I finally got rid of this one. Best thing you can do is maybe bring the action up a tiny bit. Take it to a tech if you are having really bad problems.

[MrSkraun]

diggin the t-shirt



[Guaguadeath]

hell yeah i love this song and this band that was fucking FLAWLESS kudos to you fine sir

[Nickels53]

Gotta love those natural harmonics! Great cover man! Keep it up.

[Plazma896]

I didn't used to listen to VoM very much, even though I have an [id] poster in my room from I show I saw them at (it looked cool) but I believe I've fallen in love with the band, especially for the guitar work. It boggles my mind that they can get away with writing such ridiculously timed breakdowns like the one at the end. It's so good, and everyone at the show went crazy at the weird breakdowns :)

[beanerlove44]

@AlucardXIX

Thanks ! :D

[beanerlove44]

Sick cover! Just subscribed!

What is the tuning? ( for each individual string if possible?)

[AlucardXIX]

@beanerlove44 Drop B!

B F# B E G# C# I believe!

[TheSilenceIsBroken1]

That breakdown at the end is complicated as fuck.

[HardCoreLew]

@TheSilenceIsBroken1 Yeah it like makes its own time signature within a time signature :S

[TheSilenceIsBroken1]

@HardCoreLew You made it look pretty easy though. O.o

[UninsaneRocker]

@HardCoreLew Breakdown Inception?!?!?!?!

[MrAttackattackk]

It was decent.. Haha fucking epic man!

[CHICKENNNNNNNNN]

what the fuck hah



[xguitarchardx]

On point bro, on point...... Nicely done.

[insanityisme]

Sweet tabs. I thank you endlessly for them

[Seth2294]

The closing breakdown is like as filthy as dubstep.

[beliefsinchristdom]

@Seth2294

Im pretty sure I was eating bread when i started to watch this video, then when it ended i was eating a unicorn shiting rainbows and love.

[Seth2294]

@beliefsinchristdom LOL, DAMNNNNN.

[Tanner12343]

what guitar is that?? it looks like it plays REALLY good

[AlucardXIX]

@Tanner12343 It plays pretty nice. Ibanez RG3EXFM1

[justyn3tears]

holy shit your tabs shows how epic this song actually is

great cover

[AlucardXIX]

@justyn3tears It's fun!

[xgoremageddonx]

AWESOME!

[metalbynumber]

Nice cover! I watched the video for it the other day. It's different from their older stuff

[VoltronLadiesMan]

i see turtle beaches

what do you game on?

[AlucardXIX]

@VoltronLadiesMan 360. Even though I rarely play multiplayer games anymore haha.

[VoltronLadiesMan]

@AlucardXIX

Sweet whats your GT, i will add you

Thanks for the tab btw, i just finished learning this song and i might have to film a cover myself for a school project.

[AlucardXIX]

@VoltronLadiesMan Got a full friends list man =/

[metalbynumber]

@AlucardXIX I don't bother with mutliplayer anymore it's full of 12 year olds and a ton of people who have nothing better to do but boost and cheat their ass off!

[imlucas599]

ummm is there any chance you remember your settings? as far as just bass mid and treble?

[TheMrOkand]

fucking awesome man!! love it, love what i see.. hey, come and start a band with me man :D

[Megamaniac610]

how did you learn that breakdown part at the end? Was there anything special you did to get that rhythm down?

[AlucardXIX]

@Megamaniac610 For most of the more complex breakdowns on this album, I actually wrote out the rhythm on paper. My tab has the rhythm laid out pretty well.

[GTaowa]

Amazing man... great work.

2:22 love that fuckin riff!

[krazykid44]

Dude too fucking good. You look like Cory Arford from Carnifex btw lol

[Th3Bl4ckDah1ia]

TURTLE BEACH!

[xXiM3RkGamingXx]

1 Word 4 Letters; SEXY :o

[epiphoned08]

how complicated would you say this was to learn? my friend wants me to learn it.

[AlucardXIX]

@epiphoned08 Was harder to learn it by ear, since I had to figure out what he was doing. Other than that it's more fun than anything.

[epiphoned08]

@AlucardXIX alright :D thanks

[ThaGearOfWar]

Sex....

[Dark515Rogue]

Good playing man, but it's kinda messy in some parts: it could be tighter!

The overall cover is great though \m/

[XFlyboy649X]

hands down the best veil of maya cover on youtube. (that I've seen)

[AlmoshT]

your tone is fucking great dude

[GremlinQYP]

nice job boi.

[kunyuk73]

tricky as fuck!

[Georgenocide]

I like how your turtle beach headset is on your desk lol

Sick ass cover bro :D

[JeffreyW13]

damn how long did it take to learn it? XD

[AlucardXIX]

@JeffreyW13 Couple of days. By ear too ;D

[z0mgzt0m]

@AlucardXIX Do you use any software to slow the parts down (like using Audacity) or are you old school and just keep listening over and over? :)

[AlucardXIX]

@z0mgzt0m I most definitely do haha. I use the Amazing Slow Downer.

[Johnnyboyyy92]

Awesome cover! probably the most accurate i've seen of this song on youtube.. is your guitar tuned to drop b?

[AlucardXIX]

@Johnnyboyyy92 Yup! And thank you!

[wafflecone45]

damn that was fucking good, and ive got the same guitar :) but in red

[masonkrzeminski]

the name of your guitar lookes like a fuckin serial number for a UFO hide that shit aliens might find you

[masonkrzeminski]

this is hella fucking clean bro nice man you should down pick instead of alternate pick it dude so the muffles sound cleaner fucking sweat though bro

[LastQuincy32]

screw you dude, i'm fucking jealous of your skills....

[WidekMusic]

Nice job man!

[AlucardXIX]

@kiwimoosicalv2 Haha yea it's all in the wrist!

[landrycris]

[AlucardXIX]

@landrycris Why, thank you. haha

[defeiticeira]

[MaN1puLaTer]

[TheAddictsPerish78]

I HAVE A DREAM... of playing like you ( not a possible ambition)

[HeyiMApArAdoXz]

[AlucardXIX]

@GermanLesPaul Thanks! It's an RG3EXFM1

[brandonmaciel333]

[kyle110796]

holy fucking shit !!!!!!!! now wash my jizzed in pants for me

[Nadiine39]

:O guate sach !! :D

[StayxXxEdge]

Nice turtle beaches in the back

[kyle110796]

@StayxXxEdge i got the same one he has.. ear force x3 XD

[diabolikintent]

I hate you.

[Birdonrose]

I'm planning on buying this guitar, should I buy it and put emg's or buy and ESP mh-417?

[AlucardXIX]

@Birdonrose I'd look into Bareknuckle pickups if I were you. The Aftermath model is crazy. Though, living outside of the UK will make things cost a bit. Great guitar though!

[toshtoxic]

what gauge strings do you use?

[AlucardXIX]

@toshtoxic Pretty sure I was using 12-54.

[xJUNNiEx]

SO FUCKING SICK!!!

[BassJitsu18]

DEWWWD.

You raped this shit.

The breakdown at :54 is my favourite breakdown in the entire song... just gets me going.

[btbam13579]

thanks for the tabs!! this shit is hard

[elcoyote1891]

Coooooooooooool!!!!!!!!!!

[BusherWack]

Dude this is beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeast.

[animelover1971]

Yo, whats' the tunign for Dropped B? String note-wise.

[CherubicGuardian]

@animelover1971 BF#BEG#C#

[Zombiemode1]

9.8/10

fucking brutal

[COBHC3000]

nice cover dude holay!..all of em for that matter.. sick shirt too.. just saw them and beneath the massacre like two weeks ago. take any requests? haha

[BGood156]

I'm almost offended by how god that was.

[zknix20]

fantastic cover dude, you nailed it!

[knexrule100]

amazing

[DannyBoy2590]

you got some serious skill man,

that shit looked rediculously hard

[lildarksoul666]

yo. you fucking shitted lmao

[AlucardXIX]

@lildarksoul666 uhh...what?

[BassJitsu18]

@AlucardXIX

Haha, Apparently you "shitted" . .. . .

[ofsvideo]

@lildarksoul666 huh?

[coldfraustin]

Damn dude. Your really good

[kowan100]

We all hold the power to trust and have faith in ourselves

But just like a coward we flee from our hearts

Now is the time to believe in yourself

Have no fear how others think of you or will judge you

Because your greatness will silence them all

[JohnnySniper47]

that beginning looks like a bitch what with the jump from the dischords to the chuggy bits. I'ma have to try this. What tuning do they use?

[AlucardXIX]

@JohnnySniper47 Drop B. Tabs on Ultimate Guitar!

[timothyjohansson]

What gauge on the strings do you use?: ) I'm curious because I am going for drop B aswell!

[ADAMAKAGORE]

pretty awesome dude! congrats.

[a7xful]

Fucking Win.

[GTAtrivium76]

this is one hell of a cover mannn

[PhilSustain]

Well done man! Check Out Mine!

[Whatheheckman]

This is a great cover. But I just can't get over the ending haha. At like 3:19 you mess up the breakdown =/. Throws me off everytime haha

[AlucardXIX]

@Whatheheckman I know, luckily it was just one little hiccup and I fixed it quick.

[Whatheheckman]

@AlucardXIX Yes you did haha =) it's a pretty tricky part haha... I know the pattern now but still get confused every now and then. Anyways you should do some more After the Burial covers =)

[AlucardXIX]

@Whatheheckman One of these days I'm going to do Cursing, and redo Ometh!

[Whatheheckman]

@AlucardXIX Ah those are the easy songs (well cursing at least).

[MmmmmBLUNTZ]

what kind of amp do you have?

[AlucardXIX]

@MmmmmBLUNTZ All my gear is listed in my profile.

[Dim3isTexas]

Say bro your pretty fucking good. i garuntee you'll like my covers. No half ass videos at all. go watch

[ihatethisusername132]

That was awesome and all, two things,

What is the Drop tune on this?

and in the intro you could have moved the notes to the highest strings so you dont have to jump around as much. But altogether nice.

[AlucardXIX]

@ihatethisusername132 I'm just playing it like I've seen Marc play it :)

[ihatethisusername132]

@AlucardXIX

I know that, but what is the tuning?

[AlucardXIX]

@ihatethisusername132 oh sorry dude, drop B

[MorganRNReid]

@ihatethisusername132 dude if you moved it to the higher strings it would be a shorter movement for your left hand but for your right hand to switch from the palm mutes it might actually be more difficult. I also have a cover of this song by the way!!! i just posted it, its not as good as this one. but this guy inspired me to do it!

[MorganRNReid]

dude this is a fucking WICKED cover... thx a lot for the tab man.

[tommyguns818]

this new stuff isn't as good as the previous album. still a bad ass album though. Nice guitar!!! got me a Mh-400. Great cover

[carnage101]

Very nice, clean cover. I love Veil's new stuff. I'm going to learn this but it looks like it will prove to be a decent challenge!

[AlucardXIX]

@carnage101 The new stuff is a lot of fun. If you want a real challenge go for The Higler...

[carnage101]

@AlucardXIX lol no I'm happy with learning Unbreakable for now. I like working my way up to more difficult pieces

[quarentine99]

dude you rock. im trying so fucking hard to learn these songs, my hands almost wont let me. i cant match Marc's chug patterns

[cunderheed]

i have that exact guitar :D

[burialgem]

your a fucking boss

[reyrey606]

This is to brutal! So are you man! Keep it up you should be a one man band!!

[AlucardXIX]

@reyrey606 Lol I pretty much am...

[ThrashDeth17]

double-first fret-double-double-first fret-triplet-first fret-double-first fret-triplet-first fret-REPEAT!

I got it!

[greendayaremyheros]

that's fuckin awesome...i would love to be at ur level of playing guitar someday...ur an inspiration...please be in a band if ur not in one already :P

[AlucardXIX]

@greendayaremyheros Thank you very much! Unfortunately, I'm not in a band. I've yet to find like minded individuals around here in Florida who can handle this kind of stuff...=/

[OwnedIRLK]

@AlucardXIX Floria! Haha I can see why you're not a band yet. Those old people and tourists can't appreciate metal at all :)

[Femicide09]

@AlucardXIX Where at in FL are you?

[AlucardXIX]

@Femicide09 Tampa area. You live here?

[Femicide09]

@AlucardXIX Yeah but not in Tampa. I'm in Orlando. The musicians here are pretty much horrible. The worst part is, they don't know they suck, so they're extremely cocky.

[AlucardXIX]

@Femicide09 Oh dude I know. My friend is in the band "Scorned" out there and he really thinks they're totally revolutionary and everything...

[Femicide09]

@AlucardXIX Haha yeah. It's so annoying. And these horrible bands actually get shows and play with really big bands, I can't see how they get them.

[AlucardXIX]

@Femicide09 Because there are no other bands to fill the spots...

[JoelLara]

@Femicide09

Maybe it's because people have their own opinionated views and tastes on music. Maybe it's because people go to the shows to see not just the big bands but the other bands as well. Maybe it's because that's how bands originally got known and not just from myspace or youtube or whatever other site.

[Femicide09]

@JoelLara No. They simply suck, period. When a band gets booed off stage and has trash thrown at them, it's not because a few people in the crowd don't care for the music, its because they're horrible.

[JoelLara]

@Femicide09 It is still your opinion towards them. So most crowd booed them off? So what? There's still a small minority who enjoy the music for what it is, not what they want it to be. That doesn't mean the band should just give up. There's most likely a handful of people through out each city that would like the band. Playing music is for the fun, not getting to the top or having thousands of fans. If they wanna play, then let them. People would say your band sucks if you were in one.

[Femicide09]

@JoelLara Actually every band I've ever been in has had nothing but good feedback, even from people that didn't like the genre. And no, trust me, there wasn't a single person that actually liked the music. The band themselves even said they were horrible that night. The guitars were un-tuned, the drums were off beat and the vocals were the worst part. Stop trying to be a music hero and realize not every band has talent.

[JoelLara]

@Femicide09 I'm in a band myself so I know the aspects of band expression and such. That doesn't mean they have no talent on their instruments separately. They just have horrible performance skills. If they maybe worked together like a band should and tuned their guitars and practiced vocalization, they could've performed a decent show. They obviously weren't prepared for the show if they said themselves they were horrible that night. Doesn't mean they're horrible every night.

[Femicide09]

@JoelLara In general maybe, but this band, no. The drummer is a producer and he recorded his bands EP, and every song was horrible. No theory, no rhythm, just crappy off beat blast beats to muddy out of tune guitars. The vocals would have been decent if they didn't layer them with highs/lows. Pretty much every Death Metal band in Orlando is like this.

[AlucardXIX]

@JoelLara The music scene here in Tampa is pretty horrible. Most of the bands play really unoriginal and uninspired music with the exception of a few.

[ThrashDeth17]

How long did it take you to fully understand the rhythm of the final breakdown?

[AlucardXIX]

@ThrashDeth17 A few hours to really get it. I slowed it down and wrote the pattern down to make it easier for me to practice

[XDUKEOFD]

mint dude.. i have the same guit in red.. songs hard but sick

[ladicius]

ION DISSONANCE. nice T.

[JOEtheHOE28]

i have the same guitar lol

wish i could play mine as good as u do haha

great cover

[MammothCavalry]

this looks like a fucking workout to play

[AlucardXIX]

@MammothCavalry Check out my video for The Higler...I kept messing parts up haha

[A7Xsnaff]

fuck you for getting the end pulling breakdown.... nothing personal =P

[AlucardXIX]

@A7Xsnaff Hahahaha! Once you get it, you feel awesome lol

[HxCberto09]

hahaha i saw your turtle beaches in the background haha i got some of those too. but sick cover!

[AlucardXIX]

@HxCberto09 Good shit aren't they? haha Thanks man

[BodomBeachBrett]

your sick at guitar man, any originals on here?

[AlucardXIX]

@BodomBeachBrett 2 right now. More planned in the future!
