[DARKSINS696]

mmm this is a bad eq. dude keep working on the sound

[cataclysmichael]

@DARKSINS696

You probably want to check out some of my videos which isn't 5 years old ;)

[JacksonShredder777]

the riff at 0:18 let the open notes ring more.

[linki33]

eheh fyfaen å bra spilt!:D :>

[cataclysmichael]

@linki33

Haha, takk! Dårlig lyd da men, det er ordna i mine nyere videoer :P

[linki33]

ehe:] Viktigste er at man hører noe:]

[sasquatch9934]

whats your video editing program might i ask?

[cataclysmichael]

I used Sony Vegas for this one.

[sasquatch9934]

somehow i knew you did,hah. good job but you missed some notes. then again, you played it by ear so great job! you should rerecord it if you can.

[istee17]

jeg vil ikke plage deg :P Men bruker du 011 strenger på denne sangen her?

[cataclysmichael]

Haha. Ikke no problem. Husker ikke helt hva jeg brukte her. Enten 009 eller 010.

[jensbjoern]

Utrolig bra! Skal du se In Flames på torsdag i kvinesdal da? ;)

[cataclysmichael]

Nope. Skal ikke det. Har sett dem et par ganger før live da :)

[TeufelFaust]

Don't suppose you could learn Slayers song Spill the blood could you? Or war ensemble, I don't mind which

[cataclysmichael]

I got enough songs I want to do already... and too little time :/

Sorry.

[joelco92]

youve definitely gotten a lot better since this vid

[cataclysmichael]

Hehe, I hope so because this video was recorded in 2006! :P

[LovesToDrift]

That was sick nasty, dude. Love the cover, its awesome. Im hoping to learn it when i get my Fender strat for christmas.

[GuitarHeroandLegend]

so what is ur guitar tuned to there?

[cataclysmichael]

Standar 7-string tuning I think. BEADGBE.

[Szartard]

It is the tuning Michael mentioned, only a half step down. the low string should be A#

[hotrod487]

awesome !

great cover man ;)

look my take this life cover :)

[wdrielnlon]

You should cover World Of Lies by At The Gates

[2977294]

whats the tuning

[cataclysmichael]

I use standard with the 7th a half step down... I'm to lazy for tning the whole thing :P

[KjetilLund]

Drit bra det her! :) Og du har håååår! :D

[AtTheEndOfAugust]

bad ass. Great job man

[evilskin]

metal face =D

[randomfatguy1]

i got really confused cos lots of the time the 2 vids has diff facial expressions and movement >.> whats tht about?

[cataclysmichael]

it's not the same video you know :P

[randomfatguy1]

ah i see

ty for tellin me tht now im no longer confused xD

great work tho

[Gannondalf]

one is lead and one is rhythm

[guitarhero2x]

wow you're good dude lol you should try raining blood

[JmanUnit500]

Great job dude 5 stars!

[ilovemetal367]

Dude.. thats sweet :D

[PullukkaJanne]

Awesome !!! ^^

[lp502]

what program did you use to make this video?

And awesome cover.

[cataclysmichael]

sony vegas 6.0

[mustang71517]

great job for the first in flames cover i have come across after a long time

[ChrisTschiller]

i wanne have a 2000€ guitar too :( but great job with the vid,i like it,though take this life is very easy to play ;D

[SuperColossal33]

great job, can you play everdying by in flames?

[cataclysmichael]

I was thinking of embody the invisible next...

[DarkFromDS]

PLAY CRAWL THROUGH KNIVES :D

[cluebbers]

you should play "scream" from this album

[eQ333halfevil]

can i do this in 6 strings guitar?

[cataclysmichael]

Yes... the song is originally played on 6-string guitars. You have to tune your guitar down to A# I think

[xUnKnOwNOnEx]

so then whats the original tunning?

i wanna learn this song its just that i dont know the tunning for it..

[cataclysmichael]

A# ...

[revolutionofcards]

actually there tune in drop A# this whole album

[novitec360]

drop a?! is that even possible without the string comming off?

[revolutionofcards]

yes because they use really thick strings. Its very possible i have a guitar thats tune in Drop A# and theyre just very loose.

[RTFishUL]

Drop A is possible, just buy heavy gauge strings, I had my 6-string set to drop A once.

BUT!! This guy is using the UV777 which is a seven string guitar. The low string in standard tuning is a B... so tuning it down to A is no big deal.

[beforezero]

nice work dude

[straightjacket81]

FUCKING AMAZING

[metalboyjin]

hey what tuning do you use for this song?

do you do it in drop Bb/A# or C Standard?

[cataclysmichael]

7-string tuned in standard with the 7th string a half step down..

[stoffetheman]

[Dahlia123456]

[Gindelbi]

Well, it sounds pretty good. Almost perfect. Wish I had have learned guitar when I was younger

[metalfreak13]

good job bro.

nice set up.

got a question 4 ya though,what software did u use to make this vid?

thanks,

chou!

[cataclysmichael]

thanks... sony vegas 6.0

[tenebrae654789]

oh i just forgotten to say i'm the only guitarist in this band

[tenebrae654789]

just have a question : i've recently integrated a brutal death metal band . would the marshall 20/20 be powerful enough ? or should i go for a 50/50 ? your vids converted me to the JMP-1 lol :)

[cataclysmichael]

I think the 20/20 would be more than enough. I had to send my jmp to repairs :( hopefully I get it back in a few days :)

[tenebrae654789]

thx for the advice ;)

[Momillo]

nice one, lol , awesome!!

[KendallEchelon]

this is awes man, the timing in some of the first verse being miniscluly off is all thats wrong pretty much lol

[Subliminallll]

It's cool, Seems to be unneccessary chug/palm muting in riffs though..

[jokinratizida]

fff!! if you wont my valoration.. 100%. i can´t say more. nice job. congratulations from basque country. bye!!

[fladiator]

Very Nice!

[inggolf]

Niiice 5/5

[sincguy]

Is it possible to get a transcription from you?

[cataclysmichael]

I dont think so :P

[Codyyyn]

What video editing program do you use?

[cataclysmichael]

sony vegas 6.0

[mstrofpuppets1]

that sounds really good, i love the dual playing thing. where can i get tabs for this!

[cataclysmichael]

try the internet! :P

[DesperationCurse]

What tuning did you use? It sounds very heavy.

[cataclysmichael]

standard tuning with the 7th string a half step down...

[AxeMasTerRAWE]

dude, where do i get tabz 4 this??????

[Weedboz]

\m/ Yeah dude sounds great!

[Peternicklas]

Jeehaaa! This is realy cool! Thanks for a very inspireing video!

[babigh]

helo.i'm from malaysia...emm basicly what effect do u use? guitar?...great sound...i hope u can help me because i like the over drive sound...1 more,for metal sound,what setting u used most..mixing those treble, mid, bass, over drive, n so on..

[cataclysmichael]

as I said in the pm. check the tags... I have no idea what settings I used on this one... I change that up all the time :P

usually pretty much gain and bass, a little less treble and not much middle...

[erkki88]

Nice playing dude!

What 8 string are you getting?Ibanez?

[cataclysmichael]

Jesse Hall is going to build it for me. check theillustratedluthier DOT com

[morty696]

dude, thats fucking phat man!, im gettin a 7-string soon, check out my show/vids man

[cataclysmichael]

7? just 7!? hahaha... Im getting a 8-string soon ;) :P

[catch3333]

so when u get it dont forget to get cracking with some more meshuggah stuff lol.

all the best mate, ur vidz fuckin kick arse.

[catch3333]

i meen ur 8 string of course:)

[cataclysmichael]

yup... the building process have STILL not been started, so it will take somtime... hopefulle Ill get it before christmas :\

[xMetalxForxLife]

DANNGG. Your good. Rock on, dude.

[swordfishxmd]

gooooooooood stuff, really nice, must have been a shitload of work, thanx

[cataclysmichael]

thanks. this one was actually not to hard to make :)

[416street]

dude good ass cover ggood sound quality to

[eskimobisnatch]

fucking intense man, thats so awesome.. how many takes do you usually have to go through before you get the song perfect when your recording, cuz i know it would take me like 30... you really should try to get into a band.

btw, can everyone stop being such fuckin tab zombies?! You can see BOTH his hands for BOTH guitars, and it takes like 10 secods to type "take this life tab" into a google or ug search bar...jesus.

[cataclysmichael]

Im glad you like it man. 2-3 takes usually, depends how hard the song is, and how much Ive practiced it and stuff...

[m00nkinftw]

added to favorites, you rock dude \m/

[cataclysmichael]

thanks mate

[MortarMann]

Most tabs say that you do this on your guitar for the intro:

A#: 0 0 0 0

F: 5 5 5 5

What do you do to silence the open string because if you just strum those two notes it sounds really, really muddy.

[cataclysmichael]

I palm mute the open string...

[decemberflowerr]

don't totally play it the same way but sounds ..okay. thanks for posting.

[PerseJuhis]

Great job!

[Tom177sqdn]

amazin dude

[nZn1]

come on, just the inro, plz,plz,plz!!!

[cataclysmichael]

google search: in flames take this life guitar tab

there you go.

[nZn1]

can you tab this PLZ!!!

[cataclysmichael]

no, SRY!!! :P

[Dimmuborgir132000]

O.O

YOU ARE SOOOO TALENTED! YOU REALLY REALLY ARE! I'M A HUGE FAN AND SO FAR I'VE ONLY SEEN TWO OF YOU VIDEOS. SHIT. HOW DO YOU DO IT! Do you play by ear or tabs?

[cataclysmichael]

its just some covers man. if I made the songs, then Id be talented! :P I use both tabs and my ear. this one I figured myself.

[suliemann]

hi guys iam from palestine and my account is new ,i play guitar for two years and i wanna say that u really suk man have some guitar lessons

[Mitracia]

Hi, learn english, and if you don't like it leave it

[suliemann]

oh just shut the f**k up u b**ch

[jokinratizida]

simply awesome. nice job dude

[theboarder]

Dude please play Moonshield by In Flames and tell me when you Uploaded it ^^ I really want to see you playing Moonshield by In Flames

[cataclysmichael]

dont think that is going to happen, to many other in flames songs I want to do before that one :P

[JKT84]

awesome job at harmonizing the parts, you have an excellent sense of rhythm

[SweetHateAndBlood]

can you tell me/us about your rig??

pretty good stuff there, right?

[cataclysmichael]

check my tags... marshall jmp-1 and bbe sonic maximizer...

[leikzomgwtf]

nice job!

[kubuswu]

How are you boosting your JMP? I like a texture of this dirt...

Does Sonic Maximizer does so significant diference? Cause I am wondering if I should get one.

Good work, nice playing. Work with your right hand to make sound even more powerful and selective.

[cataclysmichael]

the maximizer thickens up the sound, makes it heavier and also make it more clear, stands out a bit more. Its hard not to use it after you've got one, hehe..

[tomtriv]

faen så bra:)

[cataclysmichael]

takk:)

[Slayer7666COF]

nice, don't stop playing like you do, learning all the parts in a song makes you way more usefull to a band than some one who only knowsa there parts! (i mean that if you have a guitar player who hurts him self, you can not only replace him but teach the replacement the exact parts!) smart idea with the multiple takes at the same time, i bet its hard to prouf that you are that good when you are :P (well on the net...)

[cataclysmichael]

well... Im not as good as it looks like in real life :P

[VersusHeaven]

That was f*kin' awesome! I can't believe you're not even in a band)

[cataclysmichael]

hehe... thanks. I guess I have to start a band myself... :P

[jake7767]

sweet. yeah the number twelve looks like you is the shit. their crazy good.

[jake7767]

your hella good. you should check out:

if these bullets could talk- the number twelve looks like you

or

f.c.p.r.e.m.i.x.- the fall of troy

their both really good songs that you would own.

[cataclysmichael]

I have the doppleganger album =) Ill check out if these bullets could talk ;)

[heikkiheikkiheikki]

How many guitars u have? and what is your favorite? sry for bad english, try to understand

[cataclysmichael]

5 ... hmmm... hard to tell which one of them is my favourite... but I play on the esp and prs most I think...

[Kajalein]

marry me!! marry me!! love it... wow that's great

wish to make that, too >.>

wui ...

<3

[cataclysmichael]

danke schön :P

[subversiveguitar]

ive just noticed u have alot of nice guitarssss

and i noticed ure frend has an esp sv standard would u recomend i buy an esp standard series?

btw nice playing

and can i have ure guitars

[cataclysmichael]

thanks. I love my guitars, so you cant have any of them :P

yeah, me and my friend is very happy with our esp standards, I just tryed it in the store and I was like WOOOW, just had to buy it right away =)

[metalben25]

That guitar is sexy! Nice Ibanez

[cataclysmichael]

yes it is :D thanks--

[cyrrusdavirus2]

Hey Mike, thanks again for the Sixpounder tab. A couple of suggestion : you should try to compose more and put it on youtube, you'd have a lot of comments. I see you've done windowpane by opeth, you should try demon of the fall, personal favorite of mine. If you haven't yet, you should check into Arch Enemy, the Doomsay Machine and Anthems of Rebellions period. Keep rocking.

[cataclysmichael]

you're welcome man. most likely Ill start in this sound technician school were you learn more of recording, mixing, mastering and so on, Ill definitely concentrate more on my own material from there on. the stuff I make now just sound so amateur-ish :P

[cyrrusdavirus2]

You wanted to something from Ghost Reveries, Beneath The Mire could be cool too.

[zstranks]

dud ecould you send me the tabs u used

[cataclysmichael]

all the tabs is 6-strings, and I use a 7-string on this one, so I had to figure it myself...

[zstranks]

thats fine i have a seven

[parlby111]

you done any Mendeed covers?

[cataclysmichael]

nope.

[ViVaLaRoB1011]

get some hair and headbang

[cataclysmichael]

everytime I ahve long hair, its get so f'ing annoying... blowing in my face all the time, hair in the food, hair everywhere at my home, never dryes after showering... ahhh... no. Im done with the long hair! ...I think :P

[JimmyEet]

can u cover no one knows by queens of the stone age?

[cataclysmichael]

hehe... yeah, that would have been fun. but now I want to du some dimmu borgir, a life once lost, metallica and iron maiden first... then maybe ;)

[pshawnd]

can you play no compromise by the haunted..would love to hear that one

[cataclysmichael]

I can start with listen to them... have just heard a couple of songs by them :P

[JimmyEet]

dude you rule! i subscribed to you. part of your extreme coolness is how you respond to every post that everyones made.

[cataclysmichael]

hehe... thank you. I appreciate getting comments you know, when I watch a video and I see that the person who posted it dont even bother reply if he gets any questions or anything, I wont bother posting a comment to he/she either you know...

[hardc0rerocker]

Ohhh, nice job. You rock. I'm gonna subscribe to you

[cataclysmichael]

thanks... appreciated :)

[TheStruggler]

That is bullshit you faggot ! Fucked up job. I hate it . Biatch !

[cataclysmichael]

hehe... guess theres nothing you can do about it.... exept rating it with 1 star of course, not that it changes anything :P

[frenchredskin]

BTW, i meant "too much things", not "things too much".

[frenchredskin]

YEAH! f***ing great. may be i have already commented this video but i don't remember, sorry... how's needled 24/7 doing, is it comming soon?

[cataclysmichael]

I recorded a bit of it this weekend, just alexanders guitar and the solo left. its coming up as fast Im happy with it ;)

[frenchredskin]

do you like songs like master of puppets by metallica, tornado of souls by megadeth or BYOB by system of a down. tornado of souls is a great song with a kick ass solo, it'd be great if you could cover it... but i'm asking things too much for your poor fingers so good luck with the end of needled...

[cataclysmichael]

Ive actually learned 6 minutes of master of puppets... guess I could learn the rest of it and upload ;) but first needled! and Im also looking at the glass prison by dream theater... I want to upload a new version of it WITH the arpeggios :P

[Mitracia]

Dream Theater ftw :D

[cataclysmichael]

hehe... not really.... john petrucci ftw :P

[frenchredskin]

i've never listened to dream theater (not a great fan of proggressive metal). can you play both of the solos of master of puppets?

[cataclysmichael]

ok... they have some great songs... Ive just learned the start of the 2nd solo. but I think I can learn it... doesnt sound THAT hard... its not like the solo in the glass prison :P

[frenchredskin]

and what about system of a down? would you be interested in covering one of their songs? unless you don't like their music...
