@MrLucasserrano thanks very much, you can try recording a drum track but I'm not playing with any sort of reference so my timing is bound to be off and it will be tough to match the drumming in some areas.
Wow man, I've played this song and it's awesome! Your timing is so precise and your doing it the right way cause I play it the same way from the Death Magnetic Book.
@ahenn84 Dude you need to make videos more often, you have the best covers I have ever seen. :D I play guitar too but then again only for about 1 and a half years so I cant pull all this off haha.
thanks, but i actually mend the distortion effect, that nice distorting sound what you have. It that just from your amp, or from your line 6 spider settings?
thanks a lot, the effects are delay, phaser/phase shifter, and some sweep echo for the 2:05 part. Other than that, just a wah pedal for the second solo (6:42). They're all part of the line 6 fbv shortboard (which is basically just an extension of the line 6 spider 3 amp)
thanks a lot, it is indeed a solid state amp. I have a Sony Handycam with mini-dvd rw discs (exact model type is DCR-DVD508 I think). I'm not sure if it's high def, I bought it in early '07 so I doubt it. It's a great quality camera though considering how small it is, especially the microphone.
Thanks for the reply. So do you than pop the disc you recorded on into your hard drive and rip it to the computher to upload? I only use a digital camera that can shoot video so the quality isn't that great and I'm looking for an alternative w/o sinking alot of cash just to shoot youtube vids..knowwhatimean
no problem, and I'm sure it can be done that way by putting the disk in, but I just connect a USB cable from the camera to computer. I'm not sure of any alternatives, I had to sink quite a bit for the sony handycam I use, it was about $800 and that was for one of the lower-end ones! lol There were ones that were $1,500 dollars and more.
You rock! That's all I can say! and you say that you have only 5-6 years since you play guitar? you're really good. It sounds almost like original. Good job!
thanks very much, well I don't know if I would say 'only' 5-6 years, I kind of consider that a while, but then again I guess it's not much overall if I practice for only about an hour or two per day, I think the time invested per day is where it truly counts instead of the year amount.
i like it!!! cause you dont use a backing track you get to see the real talent you have!!!! amazing man!!!a super awesome cover!!! how many years you have been playing for??? any tips for playing the guitar??
thanks very much. I started playing summer of '03, I would probably be better than where I'm currently at if I invested more time per day (I only get in about an hour or so). If there were any tips I would say just to have fun with it and to think of practice as something to look forward to instead of as a chore.
thanks a lot, when it comes to the bends, I found that doing them slow tends to work out better/more accurate, other than that it's merely a matter of practicing.
thanks a lot, no I haven't personally submitted any of my videos myself but I think others might have (some have asked me and I said 'sure')...I didn't know they take submissions, I thought they just picked out random videos.
thanks for the comments thus far everyone, for those who are asking for tabs I wish I could help, I didn't use any particular ones (mostly pieced together from multiple ones and I did quite a bit by-ear as well)...you might have some luck on ultimate-guitar(.com) though.
hey thanks, yeah the 4:24-5:20 thing is actually my favorite part as well...it always reminded me of 'orion', like it was a sort of 'neo-orion' lol (actually, I think Metallica titled the demo of this song something like 'K2lu'...as in a sequel to 'the call of ktulu')
hey andrew i can hear your humming lol awsome man you always play really clen and never sloppy awsome man thats all the hard work you have put into it
thanks a lot, it's usually a mix of both, I'll look at a tab to get the basic idea but then use my ears to change things or find different methods/areas on the fretboard to play them. If I can't find a decent tab and I'm determined enough, I'll do what I can all by ear (as in my 'killer of giants' vid)
hey do you take any requests?....cause my band is trying to cover 'the four horsemen' and i cant seem to get the solo down....i was kinda hoping you'd cover the song so i can get an idea of how you play it....and plus, it is one of the best songs ever made so people will love it....i like seeing your vids as a reference for my playing =]
thanks, I don't know when but I could give that song a shot, I don't know the solos as of yet but they possibly might be within my capability now (and the rhythm parts I already know)...I think you've given me something to do lol
hello bro, you play this song very good, the qulity is ok dont worry for that, is a great cover dude!! i dont put this cover yet on tube, but i have the idea of make a colaboration, if you want to make this cover or any other from metallica, to make a video with two guitars, it maybe will be awesome, nice cover man, i aprecciate your answer to the commment
thanks a lot, and yeah I wouldn't mind doing a collaboration involving harmonies/two guitars, I just wouldn't know the details or process of how that could be done, especially when it comes to combining them.
can you send me the tabs?
