A noise gate would work well in giving your tone much more punch, i agree with Shazuku. Other than that its all about tone and technique though. Rock on!! :)
anyone who thumbs this down does not know how many attempts it actually takes to get certain things right... let alone playing the whole thing beginning to end... great job!
Your getting the notes right for the most part, just a bit sloppy. Not saying you haven't already but best advice I could give you is to go through each section very slowly and build up speed as you practice so you can do each part flawlessly.
well this song is pretty badass, i also play guitar and im afraid to try to learn it ahah, so good job! it's not perfect but it's a very nice try, and practising will make it perfect i believe :) i don't know what to tell you to do better, just i think some practising on the tapping riffs, you know... but still you impressed me. :) check my covers if you want to, i have no djent stuff but i'm think about it, anyways good job on this! btw, what program are you using for virtual drums?
i noticed that this type of music requires Precision (especially right hand) and the right Tone. You know what to do, I think you could master it after some muscle-memory and tone searching! Take my feedback with a grain of salt though, I've only learned the first riff xD
In my honest opinion, really messy.. Your picking and tapping needs alot of work! You need to practice those two things alot to gain a better clarity in your tone. Its all practice, practice, practice. Although you have all the notes together which is great. Just work on those basic things. I once was exactly like you but it all comes over time. And did you learn tis by ear? thatd be interesting lol, good luck to you!! (;
thats a killer musicman, john petrucci would be proud that you bought it. you man want to work on this song a bit more tho, liek be alot mroe cleaner and precise for starters.
holy **** a musicman :'D anyways lol at everyone saying she's terrible. It's her tone thats making it awful....anywyas the cover was pretty solid except your rhythm is off around 3:50 (took me a while too get it as well haha).
@TrippyTro My amp is broken, so I used podfarm without any expansion packs or anything like that. I really don't know what I'm doing with podfarm unless it's creating jazz tones haha. It's pretty apparent.
@emilyrosenfield completely off topic but im selling an amp if your interested.
its a line 6 flextone III. great for recording or jamming but idk if u play live and it might not be that well suited. pm me if ur interested at all or want more info
i think your tone might be throwing you off because its a little muddy and cuts out a bit at times. a little more practice on syncing the right and left hand coordination would help. other than that, you'd have it down :D
@IcarusCinematics I realize that, but misha's tone is a lottt different than hers. also it's a good habit to get into good strict alternate picking since encourages note accuracy and precision.
this song is beast technical!!!!! WOW great job. Periphery rules. Absolutely love how you come out of that awesome tapping riff and slam that djent tone through my face. @ 2:45
accurate cover, but if i may make a suggestion (my videos don't apply this because i started studying sound engineering after making the videos), your tone sounds a little dry, so here are some basic Treble, High Mid, Low Mid, Bass frequencies that work well for me
Nice try bro. Shame videos like "15 year old shreds" gets lots of views, or ppl like Jacqueline get as much recognition for wearing a tiara and a skirt and playing sloppu, i can't believe that she got sponsored while people that are trying to better themselves aren't as recognized.
At least she tried. What have you done? Go play your pentatonic blues scale somewhere else.
This is really good! This song is really hard and you're doing lots of it super well. My suggestion is to take the parts you're having trouble with and play them suuuper slow with a metronome. Once they're 100% perfect at like, 8th note = 60 BPM, bring them up to speed little by little. Play them a couple times at each click. At the faster tempos, just remember to relax and muscle memory will do the rest. Repetition is everything! Good luck and keep playing despite the jerks on the internet! :)
All in all, great cover. You're on time with each part, which in my opinion, is the most difficult part of Periphery songs. I've been trying to learn this song for a while. I can't get passed the clean tapping section, so props to that. The only thing you should work on is cleaning up your right hand movement. It seems your strumming multiple strings on single notes. It'll come with practice, obviously. The only thing i'd work on passed that is your tone. Hope this helps. Keep Playing.
Who are all these no playing mongoloid f*(ktards that are picking on a young girl trying to play? Link me your video where you play it better please. GET A LIFE MAN!
Emily- let these comments motivate you to keep practicing, improving technique, and playing cleaner. Take the sh!theads with a grain of salt and take advice from people trying to help you all the way to the bank. You have to start somewhere with gear, use what you have to trade up when you save some $ up and you will be fine!.
@axisalexander I agree with your comment up until "use what you have then trade up" she has a jp6 what the hell could you possibly want to trade up to? haha unless you're talking about the tone but I'm guessing it's just a direct plug in with a crappy interface on her computer...but if it isn't i would definitely invest in a new amp lol
technique before speed...get out the metronome, slow it down until you can play it cleanly then increase the tempo incrementally until you can play at the full song tempo cleanly. When you try and play fast without the technique you can develop sloppy playing habits which can be hard to correct.
Yes it's really sloppy, but that isnt the real problem, with couple months of practice that problem will be solved. But even if you played it perfectly, with that kind of tone it would still not be interesting to watch. Work alot on that first, It probably isn't very motivating to play with that kind of tone, haha. It isn't very expensive to get a decent (decent, not top) tone anyway.
I want your guitar. Not the cleanest cover, but probably better than I could do. If I even had the guts to put anything on youtube (Might if I ever get a 6 string). Keep it up!
Good attempt. Word of warning: those pickups will pickup(harhar) ANYTHING and really shows your playing for what it is, a tad not tight :P. Especially if thats a Crunch Lab/Liquifire combo. It's not just you, my other guitarist had issues with them as well :P
Take each riff, pick them apart, play them starting at a snails pace and work your way up. Not only will your playing of this song improve immensely, your overall technique will improve without you even realizing it!
I dont understand what is this all bashing? I bet that half of you cant even play as good as this girl does. Just grow up or stop trolling if you have nothing to say. Life is always learning for all of us. Emily keep that attitude and keep on playing.
You've obviously got chops, and clearly know how to play, especially the chords and runs. It's just mostly the legato/tapping that sounds really broken up and staccato. And of course, that being the main part of the song, people are going to troll.
But yah, as others had said, economy of motion should help, and just focus on letting the notes ring out so they sound like they're blending together rather than standing apart.
Okay. So another young girl can shred a guitar. Ho-hum...lol. Just kidding though. Your skills are impressive. However, I just study bass so this is purely an unprofessional opinion! Keep it up, though!:):):)
so there are some jerks on here.. but i mean to be honest im just impressed that you recorded this with just guitar & drums.. most people covering a song like this don't have the balls to do it without playing the original song louder than their own instrument to cover up the mistakes..
for advice.. id just say to slowwww down =)
the tone isnt the best.. but you've got a nice guitar! maybe change the strings and get it set up again? anyway.. keep at it.. practice the tapping stuff real slow!
Ok you can play the song, but its sloppy as hell. No way periphery would want you in their band, your horrible at this song...im sorry, go practice more before u upload next time.
Sure it's a bit sloppy, BUT! it's a really difficult song, Even if sloppy, it takes a great amount of skill and practice to play this song! :)
And as with everything else, practice makes perfect! Keep working on your skills and repost the video later maybe so you can laugh at all the bastards who are bad-mouthing your video
What a bunch of total assholes. I am disappointed in every single one of you shitheads. The girl likes Periphery and if she wants to play it and make a vid of it then that is up to her. I think she did an admirable job dispite it not being perfect. Keep doing what you're doing Em. Don't listen to these a-holes.
@WGSen Hi friend, I'm glad you feel empowered by your anonymity. Enjoy your power trip while it lasts, because one day you will realize that putting people down to compensate for your own insecurities (whatever they may be) is counterproductive. I don't understand the need to comment negatively- is the intent to hurt or belittle me? I would seriously love to know from a psychological standpoint if nothing else. Hopefully one day you'll realize that we are one. Unconditional love nonetheless <3
@emilyrosenfield If you're proud of work that is sub-par, that is your problem. Practice, then come back to the internet. It wasn't good, live with it.
@emilyrosenfield i would say you have a very solid grasp on what it takes to be accountable for your art, which the naysayers rarely ever attempt.
as far as constructive criticism, i'd say that for the main riff, that legatoish section [not the octave play section] you may benefit from what they call 'economy of motion.' it LOOKS as if you're hitting the notes slightly behind the beat because your fingers are moving relatively far from the frets and have to come back. ...
@intrepgun man, 500 characters isn't much for constructive, now is it? maybe that's why people are such brutish fuckwads on youtube comment threads. to be concise and constructive, you have to take time, which youtube is mostly meant to waste. so it's easier for them to just go 'dis sux0rz u ghey' and then go play with themselves for a few minutes.
but yeah, economy of motion is helpful in all things. it makes your movements more deliberate and calculated but will feel second nature.
@emilyrosenfield Awesome effort! You're well on your way to having this song nailed. One thing I do that might help you to clean up some of those parts is to play them 1/2 to 3/4 speed but I force myself to let each note ring all the way until the next note is played with no transition time between, then slowly bring it up to full tempo. You'll find that you'll be able to better articulate faster passages because you're devoting less time to position change and more time to note sustain.
Not going to lie, whether or not its as tight as the band does it, i was impressed. i wish i knew how to play this damn song - those riffs are fucking HARD, with a little practice you'd have it perfectly - seriously, keep working at it and you're gonna be solid.
Every loser on the internet is a fucking critic. Even getting through this song is more work than 90% of guitarists out there would attempt, so keep working it up and fuck the haters, they just thrive off the feeling of mild superiority that youtube bashing is good for.
you guys that are asking where the drum track came from clearly didn't listen to the drum track... I don't think the drum stem would be played solely on the hi hat. U GITTIN TROLED
Yea I agree with 6EELZE6U6666. Not even close to keeping up with Misha. Try slowing down and work on making the notes sound absolutely PERFECT then speed it up. It seems like you jumped right into it. The rhythm seems to be pretty much spot on. Just work on getting the notes to sound good and you'll be straight
@BennyVengeance888 Periphery needed a fourth guitarist because their new album has so many parts, and they called me up to join. Matt sent me all of the drum stems so I could practice and really solidify my parts. Everything is still coming along, but I should be all set in time for the Periphery/Dream Theater tour in February! Thanks for watching!
@emilyrosenfield Wow, that's incredible!! I wish you all the best with that! Im guessing there'd be no way you could send me some, no? Im a drummer and would love them to learn them/practice with them! But if it's strictly Periphery based business, i understand. :)
@emilyrosenfield haha wait is that really true?! Sorry but that sounds like a lie, I mean if that's true why have you been sent the drum stems to this song and you're playing a guitar track that is already covered live? I'm not saying you're a bad guitarist but this is nowhere near the standard of Periphery, I mean no disrespect it's just how it apears to me.
@emilyrosenfield any need to lie ? lol dont get me wrong i appreciate the fact your learning there tunes and what not and there great to learn practice and get better , but to say your joining periphery when your no were near there standard of playing/tightness etc is a bit stupid dont you think? lol people will read what your saying and overlook your attempts at playing cos your lieing , if you wanna have people give you proper feedback , i suggest ya stop :) not gonna get you anywere at all
@emilyrosenfield LOL okay, is that why they have Mark from Haunted Shores now? lulz And you're playing a part one of the guitarist (probably Misha) play live. Nice try though
@emilyrosenfield Uh. These aren't even the actual drum tracks. Lying gets you nowhere in life sweetie. You aren't even CLOSE to Periphery's standards. I about threw up while watching this.
A noise gate would work well in giving your tone much more punch, i agree with Shazuku. Other than that its all about tone and technique though. Rock on!! :)

You should work on the sound and precision, especially sound. To get this djenty Periphery tone you need to rise the mids and gate the whole thing.

I am currently working on this song as well but its no good at all right now, so cudos for getting it this well.

This is a rather hard song to play and such. You have an idea how it goes All you need is to do is practice. Good luck.

Okay. So another young girl can shred a guitar. Ho-hum...lol. Just kidding though. Your skills are impressive. However, I just study bass so this is purely an unprofessional opinion! Keep it up, though!:):):)

so there are some jerks on here.. but i mean to be honest im just impressed that you recorded this with just guitar & drums.. most people covering a song like this don't have the balls to do it without playing the original song louder than their own instrument to cover up the mistakes..
for advice.. id just say to slowwww down =)
the tone isnt the best.. but you've got a nice guitar! maybe change the strings and get it set up again? anyway.. keep at it.. practice the tapping stuff real slow!

Good work!
Sure it's a bit sloppy, BUT! it's a really difficult song, Even if sloppy, it takes a great amount of skill and practice to play this song! :)
And as with everything else, practice makes perfect! Keep working on your skills and repost the video later maybe so you can laugh at all the bastards who are bad-mouthing your video
Keep up the good work and good luck! :)

What a bunch of total assholes. I am disappointed in every single one of you shitheads. The girl likes Periphery and if she wants to play it and make a vid of it then that is up to her. I think she did an admirable job dispite it not being perfect. Keep doing what you're doing Em. Don't listen to these a-holes.

@WGSen Hi friend, I'm glad you feel empowered by your anonymity. Enjoy your power trip while it lasts, because one day you will realize that putting people down to compensate for your own insecurities (whatever they may be) is counterproductive. I don't understand the need to comment negatively- is the intent to hurt or belittle me? I would seriously love to know from a psychological standpoint if nothing else. Hopefully one day you'll realize that we are one. Unconditional love nonetheless <3

@emilyrosenfield If you're proud of work that is sub-par, that is your problem. Practice, then come back to the internet. It wasn't good, live with it.

@emilyrosenfield i would say you have a very solid grasp on what it takes to be accountable for your art, which the naysayers rarely ever attempt.
as far as constructive criticism, i'd say that for the main riff, that legatoish section [not the octave play section] you may benefit from what they call 'economy of motion.' it LOOKS as if you're hitting the notes slightly behind the beat because your fingers are moving relatively far from the frets and have to come back. ...
intrepgun 1 month ago
@intrepgun man, 500 characters isn't much for constructive, now is it? maybe that's why people are such brutish fuckwads on youtube comment threads. to be concise and constructive, you have to take time, which youtube is mostly meant to waste. so it's easier for them to just go 'dis sux0rz u ghey' and then go play with themselves for a few minutes.
but yeah, economy of motion is helpful in all things. it makes your movements more deliberate and calculated but will feel second nature.

@emilyrosenfield Awesome effort! You're well on your way to having this song nailed. One thing I do that might help you to clean up some of those parts is to play them 1/2 to 3/4 speed but I force myself to let each note ring all the way until the next note is played with no transition time between, then slowly bring it up to full tempo. You'll find that you'll be able to better articulate faster passages because you're devoting less time to position change and more time to note sustain.

Not going to lie, whether or not its as tight as the band does it, i was impressed. i wish i knew how to play this damn song - those riffs are fucking HARD, with a little practice you'd have it perfectly - seriously, keep working at it and you're gonna be solid.

Every loser on the internet is a fucking critic. Even getting through this song is more work than 90% of guitarists out there would attempt, so keep working it up and fuck the haters, they just thrive off the feeling of mild superiority that youtube bashing is good for.

Yea I agree with 6EELZE6U6666. Not even close to keeping up with Misha. Try slowing down and work on making the notes sound absolutely PERFECT then speed it up. It seems like you jumped right into it. The rhythm seems to be pretty much spot on. Just work on getting the notes to sound good and you'll be straight

BennyVengeance888 2 months ago
@BennyVengeance888 Periphery needed a fourth guitarist because their new album has so many parts, and they called me up to join. Matt sent me all of the drum stems so I could practice and really solidify my parts. Everything is still coming along, but I should be all set in time for the Periphery/Dream Theater tour in February! Thanks for watching!
emilyrosenfield 2 months ago
@emilyrosenfield Wow, that's incredible!! I wish you all the best with that! Im guessing there'd be no way you could send me some, no? Im a drummer and would love them to learn them/practice with them! But if it's strictly Periphery based business, i understand. :)
BennyVengeance888 2 months ago
@emilyrosenfield haha wait is that really true?! Sorry but that sounds like a lie, I mean if that's true why have you been sent the drum stems to this song and you're playing a guitar track that is already covered live? I'm not saying you're a bad guitarist but this is nowhere near the standard of Periphery, I mean no disrespect it's just how it apears to me.
