Cover of "Part Of The Friction" by SikTh - Fred Baty

[ChaosDesigned]

Great job man you nailed it

[Alexj69]

@ Fredbaty and yes, you've progressed tremendously. Ive personally noticed a huge difference in your playing, so good job man. Definately have to keep it up.

[Alexj69]

@ Fredbaty lol very understandable man. I actually just put my Jackson in the shop to get adjusted and and restrung, just to be able to handle the tunings of SikTh lol. So after i practice them up, i may put a couple videos up myself. Ive played since i was three, so i should be able to handle it :P

[Alexj69]

I say that you should redo this song with your new setup. This is one of my favorite songs of all time and would love to see you do a better quality one. Thanks.

[Fredbaty]

@Alexj69 Hah, believe me - I'd love to redo just about every video I've ever recorded, but decided a while back that it was better to think of these old ones as proof to myself that I have actually progressed a decent amount over the past 4 years or so. If I went back and re-did all the old vids I want to, I'd just end up redoing the redone ones ad infinitum, which is one of many reasons I'm keen to avoid repeating myself. Sorry for the long-winded answer, just trying to explain my thinking!

[slipknot95maggot]

@Fredbaty So instead you should just cover more SikTh songs :D

[MarcBurnsThatBarn]

very good, love it dude!

[FeroxX]

what kinda RG7321 is that ?! white contour ?! O_o

[CarcassRot]

@FeroxX its a personal modification. he did it himself haha. i have the red/burst model of this guitar and i put a black one around it, looks pretty good. You should give it a try!

[FeroxX]

@CarcassRot awsome :)

[lukeslater1986]

[LucienT7]

what kind of guitar do you have?

[fr618]

oh man, that is probably my favourite sikth song and i think about covering it as well pretty soon! Awesome job right there, also like your accoustic stuff!

Cheers from Germany

[MethodicalPlot]

Very nice, dude. SikTh is an amazing band.

Or was. D:

[xMeshuggahx]

Don't play guitar so passionately :p

[MVEL720]

Im Lovin The pinstripe on the 7321 man! Gr8t cover 2!

[guns4play]

haha dude no way I'm wearing the same shirt right now that your wearing in this video

[Tool9395]

Nice! How long have you been playing?

[X0xLinzix0X]

nice one m8 ^^ ...tidy ur room lol

[zwink928]

There are no guitar tabs for this anymore :(

At least none that I can find...

[Fredbaty]

Search for it on 911tabs and you'll find the powertab that I originally linked here before that website went down!

[zwink928]

Is it the "hot tabs" one? Because the other one is a bass tab and the hot tabs one doesn't seem to be working for me :S

[Fredbaty]

Doh! My bad, both of them are indeed just the bass tab. Head to fredbaty [DOT] homechoice [DOT] co [DOT] uk and you should be able to get it from there instead. Bits of it I disagree with now, but it's still a decent tab. Cheers!

[zwink928]

Haha, it worked! Thanks a lot! And this is an amazing cover, since I forgot to mention that earlier...

[lukeslater1986]

does this still work cuz i cant find it?

[Fredbaty]

Sorry man, only just seen all your comments. I've posted a new link to the same tab in the video comment!

[lukeslater1986]

i know it sux i have a broke harddrive with it on i think theres away i can get to the data and when i do ill message you

[blakey32]

fuck yes, sikth are awesome.

[xsilenceisloudx]

hahahh fucking sick, i bet your from the u.k. all great musician like you come from the u.k.....beter then us shitty american lols.

[calbmx1]

sick playing from 4:20 to 4:41. that's my favourite bit of the song. nice work.

[PrjktfrznflmZ23]

Dude, clean up for god's sake! Just kidding =] Nice cover, I hope I could play like you do.

[purplemonkeyelephant]

Sort of sloppy, but you have all the parts down. And doing thats impressive in itself. Tighten it up and youll be a metal machine! Lol

[jasonengland1990]

yo man ignore borahorza.

U got told this before on ur other video, but twats like that can keep their comments to themselves if they just wanna do nothing but throw insults at ya.

This is a great cover of sikth mate, sorry for daft question but do they play in Drop A flat in this album?

[Fredbaty]

Not all of the time - this song and a couple more (Bland Street Bloom and Summer Rain, off the top of my head) are in drop Ab, but others are in standard Eb or drop Db. Thanks!

[sakeido]

its not drop Ab like you would think (Ab Eb Ab Db G Bb) it is Ab Ab Db Gb Bb Eb.

The bottom two strings are an octave apart. You probably knew that already but just making sure ahaha :)

[jasonengland1990]

cheers mate, and i didnt know, i was still tryin to work it all out in drop Ab...it makes alot more sense now :P lol

[sakeido]

It does, this stuff would be very hard in normal drop Ab. if you want some Summer Rain or Bland Street Bloom tabs I have both..

[jasonengland1990]

that would be awesome! :)

god u are a saint! :D haha

cheers mate

[sakeido]

You are a great player.. I also have to give you props for introducing me to Chimpspanner. I was checking your channel and saw that vid last week, and just bought the CD today. He's got a new one coming out soon!!

And BoraHorza has no idea what he is talking about.. at all.

[Rholoff]

Nice work dude! You do SikTh justice.

[BoraHorza47]

Ooooh, touched a nerve?

[BoraHorza47]

M8, your guitar sounds like complete shit, and you can't even play the songs properly. Iv watched loads of your vids now, and you CANNOT play properly, you learn the songs half arsed and then just put them on here regardless. I don't know why so many people are giving it good comments, cos it aint. You've totally butchered some amazing songs. Why don't you go back to blink 182, that should be more a your level. Spend less time makin stupid vids to put on here, and more time actually PRACTISING

[Fredbaty]

I put videos up here in the full knowledge they might not be 100% perfect because I aim at receiving that wonderful thing known as constructive criticism. If you'd prefer to just damn all of my videos straight up then that's fair enough, opinions are opinions, but even if I'm aware there are bits of this song I screwed up or am playing different to Dan and Pin I'm fairly happy with this as a take and am also fairly happy with being able to look back at it and see how I've improved since...

[Fredbaty]

I uploaded it over a year ago. Please feel free to watch any of the last three electric videos I uploaded (Chimpspanner, Bulb and Protest The Hero) and proffer your much-appreciated opinions on the way in which I've completely butchered all three of those. Yup, I make some mistakes, yup there's a bit of sloppy playing here and there, but I'm fairly confident that I've improved considerably over the past year. Bulb himself commented on my cover of one of his songs, but to be honest you're...

[Fredbaty]

obviously the expert on such things, so if you can point out where he's gone wrong too that'd be awesome. I'd really like that. Oh, also, you know what? If everyone who uploaded a cover to YouTube played the entire thing perfectly it'd be nothing but fucking boring. You'd never be able to see a video and think "wow, that guy's so much better than all those other people out there" or "wow, he nailed that one!" Yes, both Nolly and Pete Graves are far, far, far better players than me, I don't...

[Fredbaty]

deny that for a second. In fact I've had extensive conversations with Nolly about how to play certain parts of certain SikTh songs because he actually has the time and politeness to offer help as opposed to straight-up arrogant criticism. Not that you come across as being an insecure little prick or anything like that, don't worry. I'd be more than happy to point it out if you did.

Oh, by the way, nice comment about Blink 182 - that one really cut me deep. Did you think that one up...

[Fredbaty]

all on your own? I'm impressed if so. That must have taken serious brain power.

As for the tone, I'm aware it's shit. It's DI from my old Roland Cube 60 before I had the faintest idea how to get a nice distortion, but frankly I'm not too fussed. Again, please feel free to watch the videos you assure me you already have and see how much my tone has improved over the past year since I got my POD. Thanks.

[JAStewart]

Wow this is the first result that comes up if you search for the song.

[trialsmaster]

what pod amp model?

[Fredbaty]

The nasty nasty tone here is courtesy of my Roland Cube 60, heh. This is before I got my Pod XT Live.

[Muffinman181]

What kinda 7-string is that?

[zedchuva]

Would be an Ibanez RG7321... if I'm not mistaken... Fred?

[Muffinman181]

...Couldn't be, the body has white binding around it. and it doesn't have a tone nob, only a Volume and a pick-up toggle.

[Fredbaty]

It is indeed an RG7321. I applied the binding myself and there is a tone knob too, you just can't always see it because of my webcam.

[mapexlb]

it's not single note down strokes in the beginning but you are hanging pretty good.

[OthewolfislooseO]

Nice one dude. Nailed it (pretty much!

Haha you OWN all the comment hecklers too.

[MelodicDaath]

Great playing. + That has got to be the cooooolest haircut evar ! ^^

[1nazchan]

The link isn't working, could you let me know what tuning it is in so I can work on figuring this sick tune out? :)

thanks

[mapexlb]

best song on the album other than "where do we fall"...

[Keefster90]

Very impressed buddy! How long have you been playing?

You're playing is good but can be improved with practice. It won't be long until you NAIL the thing.

Well done!

[Barry0Special]

your lame

[Fredbaty]

Leave my lame out of this.

[ssam212]

Great job man, some parts are not so accurate but you admitted that too. DO NOT listen to any assholes out there saying tabs are wrong coz they are not! and you sound great and are a great guitarist alrady. keep it up matie

[ghjtyuvbn]

The iron <3 Nice playing by the way. //Nicklas

[gleebo123]

Yeah, some of the parts are wrong, but some of these commenters are just plain assholes.

It sounded great, and is a great cover of the song.

Out of curiosity, are you using the same tuning as sikth for that song?

[TheDeath6F9]

franchement, respect ! :)

[Sinisterambo]

Rcvr;;rnt

[jasonofsepsis]

even if its wrong, you are aiming much higher than most kids on the internet and i give you credit for that. i love sikth and i know you are going to be badass someday.

[Nollythegreat]

Have to agree with JA Stewart again, that's not how it's done.

[Fredbaty]

You're not agreeing with James because he was saying 'wrong' to Carnivalinyourmind's comment. You the same Nolly from the PTA? If so, change Anton's tabs if you are so certain of the exact way to play it.

[Nollythegreat]

Fair enough, my bad. And yes, I'm from the PTA. Still, it's pretty off. I've PM'd thediceman with some alterations, hopefully we'll co-author.

[DagMX]

Good cover.

Out of curiosity, what gauges are you using? Your strings look slack as hell..

This is my favorite sikth song ever. Probably the most simple on the guitar, but its one of the best lyrically..

[Fredbaty]

I use 12's on my electrics and 13's on my acoustics. Yeah, it's definitely one of my favourites of theirs too.

[thatsharkeyguy]

beautiful

[CtpAids]

Lol. I hate SikTh.

[georgeb32]

i love the energy, its passionate, clear that you really love this song

this is wicked keep it up

you playing a 7 string?

[DOOD594]

Good Job man. Some of Sikth's stuff is pretty hard to do. Out of curiousity, is than an RG your using?

[voodoo778]

Well, bloody obviously.

[Carnivalinyourmind]

lol 3:00 sounds like My chemicle romance...lmao gay...

[Fredbaty]

Do lobotomies hurt? I was thinking of getting one so as not to have to suffer people like you any more on YouTube.

[JAStewart]

Wrong.

[molotov001]

You've got balls to cover a band like SikTh, and you did a really good job. Good stuff man.

[drums34]

Respect c'est parfait mec.

[therealworm]

wow this kid just got metal

[quesadillaking]

well thats a gay old name for a band, you will never make it, especially sounding like that.

can you suck my dick?

[Fredbaty]

If I'm not mistaken, that'd make the both of us homosexual, which you have professed not to be a fan of by using 'gay' as a derogatory term. As it is, I am quite content with vaginas. If you prefer a bit of the old porkpole that is quite okay by me, but please keep your filth away from my videos.

[xCx2x]

You tell em' homie!

[voodoo778]

LOL - nice ;)

[91snake]

fred, thats awesome :D

[quesadillaking]

this has nothing to do with stephen hawking you suck kid.

[Fredbaty]

My band is called Walking Talking Stephen Hawking. So it does. Can you clean my floor, please?

[ebker01]

dude that was fuckin amazing mad props!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[metalherbert]

wow well done dude! and i agree with the buying not ownloading!

[MrJ4ck]

nice sikth stuff once again, but I'm assuming those are stock pickups. ibanez really slacks on them, throw some dimarzios or duncans in that baby and you'll be set!

[Fredbaty]

Tell me about it. I need to get some money together to get the 7321 properly set-up, but for the moment I'm holding out for getting an S2170fb for my 18th. Fingers crossed and all, haha.

[MrJ4ck]

S-series are sexxxxy and I just love where they put the input jack. :P What tuning do Sikth play in btw? And if you haven't heard it, Mikee's got a bonus track from DOADD on his Myspace, it's awesome. The band that Mikee did some vocals for, This is Menace, is pretty sweet too.

[Fredbaty]

Most of the time they're in drop-D down a half step (DbAbDbGbBbEb), but some of their other songs (this one included) are in drop-Ab (AbAbDbGbBbEb) whilst others are in standard half-step tuning.

I've heard that before - it was a B-Side on the Flogging The Horses EP. Fucking wicked take on the song, but I must admit to preferring the original one.

[luvHinaO]

ça déchire grave !!

[wierdme]

love the style and hair, nice dude!

[Oinotnaaa]

hair?? who cares he's playing sikth!

[naloog]

This is quite shit.

[Fredbaty]

That's what she said.

[PassEffect]

HAIOOOO.

Awesome playing fred =D.

[rufiothebandito]

It's awesome to see more people playing Sikth on youtube, that was kick ass, great job. You should do Another sinking ship next, that would be insane

[welshdan1987]

LOL u sucks ROFL

Joking butt, I tried this song when the tab came out to but Im nowhere near this, fast work buddy

[imperium1980]

Where did you get the tab from? Is it online or is the book out?

[Fredbaty]

I don't wish to be an arse, but there really is a video comment for a reason.

[rycht]

MORE FEELING FRED! I WASN'T SWEATING TEARS OUT OF MY TEETH YOU HAVE NO SOUL

steve vai r00lz!!

[orlandopunk]

try playing a steve vai song jahhahaha

[qebiko]

well done!
