Mastodon - Sleeping Giant Instrumental Cover

[BAM0GRAM]

@TheFith i more of a drummer soi dont know much about guitairs but the output and the sound of your one makes me belive they are good lol :P

[BAM0GRAM]

look up axe in the dictionary you see a picture of that guitar

[TheFith]

@BAM0GRAM Haha! Thanks, man! I rebuilt this guitar with new pickups and locking tuners. The KKV guitars are excellent guitars! :-)

[nleonard5454]

Is this recorded on a webcam because im trying to find a good guitar video recording software and cant :/

help?

[TheFith]

@nleonard5454 Sure thing. :-)

I recorded this with a Sony hand held camera, which is WAY too pricey, around $500. I highly recommend getting a Line6 Toneport. They have different models that range from $80-up depending on your budget. It connects to your computer via USB 2.0, this way the sound is pure - no mic needed! You can also get a 720p webcam now for $50. Then just use your Windows Movie Maker or whatever, select the Toneport for audio, then sync the video and sound in Moviemaker! :-)

[TheFith]

@nleonard5454 If you'd like to see an example of a live recording (without having to sync the video and the audio), check out my Mastodon : Pendulous Skin video. You can see how I used the Windows Moviemaker with the Line6 Toneport. And it turned out great, I think. :-)

I've since upgraded to a better webcam that's 720p ($50) and you can that in the "On March the Saints" video in my channel.

Take care!

is tht a dean guitar cause its looks awesome!

[TheFith]

@GhillieCombine Hey there! This guitar is a Kerry King V by BC Rich. I just repainted it and put new pickups! Thanks! XD

[killswitch916]

Dude that's awesome. Did you by chance put up a tab of this on Ultimate Guitar? Cuz I saw one there that was a lot like what you're playin.

[TheFith]

Thanks! I'm glad you like it.

No, I haven't put anything on Ultimate Guitar, but I have been giving the tabs I have by request. :-)

[paddyamos]

@TheFith can i have the tabs please?

[TheFith]

@paddyamos Just PM me your email.

[joepoop3]

great job on the riff at 4:52 that part is pissing me off because its the only part that doesn't make any sense on the tab i have. Great job on the whole song!

[metalmonster69]

Nice to hear it being played without the song playing along with you dude.You get to hear that you are actually playing it. Awsome cover!!

[FlipityFlopityFloo]

Nice job dude. You think you could post a link to the correct tabs? I've been using their live video and by ear but there's some spots I'm gettin stuck on still.

[Lifesblood1]

ont bad man

[SSSavio]

I think that there is something wrong or something you have to refine... but good job anyway.

[TheFith]

Refine for sure. I just learned how Brent does the riff at 4:52 in this live video :

MASTODON - Sleeping Giant (Live Werchter 2007).

In the official tab book I have it presents it in a way that you are supposed to pick each note. But the way Brent plays it in said video is legato (hammer ons and pull offs).

So yeah, will definitely visit this song again and will have both guitars (with delay effect), bass, and drums.

Thanks for watching! :-)

[metalrockstar24]

nice man u rock hay can u put a lesson videon on how to play this songs. i listen to mastodon alot man im too lazy too read the tab lmao but man u rock keep it up.

[TheFith]

Aw, c'mon! Lazy to read tabs?!? LoL! I always thought that tabs were THE laziest way to learn, but that's what I do, so I can't hate too much, ha.

Well, I'm sure I could, but I won't make any promises at the moment; school and work kinda kills my time, plus whatever time I have playing guitar I try to practice songs. I'm not a super guitar player so these take me a while to learn myself...

I can hook you up with the music with accurate tabs, so let me know!

Thanks for your comment! :-)

[hayabusaturbo1300]

Nice man!! I really like your cover!! keep it going!

Thanks, man! :-)

[poiuytrewq95]

where did u get that b.c rich?

[TheFith]

It's a Kerry King V. As awesome as the design was, it was too iconic for me. I decided to re-paint it and fitted it with new pickups. :-)

[XlivingXfallocyX]
