The Human Abstract - Polaris (guitar cover)

[depaaa]

killbuckeye my fav guitarist !!

[LLAME911]

Its really happy to me to visit this video every day for 1 month and see i got both top rated comments :'D

[promaen]

@LLAME911 lol

[vatoloco22]

lol why is the same guy the top comment? i see him in every youtube video copy and pasting other peoples top comments... its really sad lol

[slayrix]

you rock man __ good job i like it

[JanekGuitarist]

More views than orginal. You are God

[aj237000]

giv3

m3h

y0ur gi1t4r!!! >:o

[dabair87]

Seriously how can any person hate this....This is amazing they obviously love Lady Gaga to dislike something of this masterpiece.

[MrTyger96]

This is freaking awesome!!! Really inspiring!!

[JanBoucke]

So sad they split up...

[bellyOfaTiger]

@JanBoucke At least they didn't go the Metallica route and got worse by each new album. But I will say Faust sucked ass

[ssjdustin]

@JanBoucke Who knows? One day they might decide "What the hell I guess we can get together and see what we can do." bands do that all the time. Black Sabbath for example, or System Of A Down. Took them forever but they said it's time.

[NickCetrone]

need a guitarist for an ohio metal band. Check out bandmixdotcomforwardslashdimau­ra for all the info

[gallakorn]

Awsome!!!

[slayrix]

efett plz l'effet 

[bnino1216]

sounds really good man, i just finished learning this song myself. You should do some Opeth covers, or if you really want a challenge do some Symphony X covers, they're hard as shit to play, Michael Romeo is way too good!!!!!

[TheGhhgv]

!!!!! better than the mp3 on the album!!

[Anton1496]

*very

[Anton1496]

Vary good:)

[blueNwhiteguitarist]

The awkward moment when this is better then the original :D

[LLAME911]

I showed the videos of this guy to my girlfriend

And she say she doesn't like it

Now she's single...

Lol just kidding

Shes dead...

[TheDailyDigest]

@LLAME911 now im going to dig her up AND FUCK HER IN THE ASSHOLE.

[lavamaster530]

This is the funnest song to play on the guitar from what I have experienced :) Plus it's not really that hard.

[LLAME911]

lol i never thought my comment was going to be top rated :p

[vatoloco22]

@LLAME911 well you tried hard enough.. not only did you say stuff that are voted highest from other videos, but you never stopped.. -.- kept stealing top comments and posting it on this to try to get the top yourself.

[2sk8ersBG]

@vatoloco22 Well, then his youtube name fits him right? c:

[BLU3Fi5H]

Only 61 women have viewed this? lol jk

It's clearly 61 people who have never played guitar before.

[bsow2012]

im about to cover this, im pumped about finally getting it done and moving on to the next

[drunkencaraboo]

@bsow2012 Use his tabs.

[StrongHeart13]

Look at the top two comments. Back to mine. Back to the top two. Now back to mine. Sadly, they aren't mine. But if you stopped handing out thumbs up so freely, they could LOOK like mine. Look down, back up, where are you? Watching in awe as this comment gains thumbs up. look down, now back up. I have it, the ability to gain thumbs up by posting something so simple-minded. Look again, people copying and pasting my comment to other videos.

Anything is possible on YouTube. I'm on a PC

[TheCaptainCrack]

haha, youre insane doin that first harmonic with your pinky...

[medic2009guy]

You've pry heard this man but you should check out protest the hero if you like this, there unique like this and they have killer guitar parts

[gallakorn]

Awsome bro!!

[theduosevennick]

thank you sir, 3 years ago, you got me into this band, ive loved them ever since. i've seen them live twice. they put on quite an amazing show.

[SuperSeananigans]

This is amazing.

[TheJakel01]

[itsthecimafranca]

1. Stop this video

3. Hold the left arrow

4. Press the up arrow while holding the left arrow

Thumbs up if it worked :)

[Lad0Barn0vi]

[itsthecimafranca]

[mazioz]

Guitar Godfather!!



[Lemijat]

Dude Like Freaken Hell Yea!. Perfect Man. The Human Abstract should be bigger than what they are. If everyone played guitar and played this solo, they would respect what this band is.

[LLAME911]

61 people... are people.. :O

[Spliffor]

@LLAME911 no they are not

[deadmanhasreturned]

You are the man !!! :)

[RiseResistRevolt]

I SAW THE HUMAN ABSTRACT LIVE! First time I heard them!

[jaketheripper66]

@RiseResistRevolt COOL STORY BRO!!!!! im seeing them tonight, its not that big of a deal.

[GeoHound82]

61+ people are retarded



[ticosexy22]

@GeoHound82 Stop it with the number jokes, JUST STOP!

[aeDBalls]

your name suggests you're from Ohio, do you still live here?

[23Eshaw]

sick man

[TheAbracadavre]

Thumbs up for Kirk Hammets guitar!

[RichNorris94]

Love it!

[augusthour4]

Duuude, do more human abstract!!

[brandonmarks13279]

@augusthour4 he should either do vela or self portraits of the instincts

[GuitarASHastings]

@brandonmarks13279 go to his website, he went to college there but he lives in Detroit

[MyApocalypse17]

Im trying to learn this at the moment, and i jam with your vid every day :P its fucking SOLID

[TheRockClassicfan]

[matatoros2]

[WilderSchlumpf]

sounds a little bit like bullet for my valentine

[militiaman1096]

I love how he can always make any song he covers sound soo clean.

[EstacadoConstantine]

this is so fucking awesome!!!!

[bronsonbaker]

I love how if you search "polaris",THIS comes up,not a video of the actual song. Cracks me up everytime.

[StrongHeart13]

Omg this guy is amazing! The ppl who disliked him were super drunk High and jealous

[eddiedeets]

i like how towards the end it makes it seem like its about to go into this sick solo but noooo lol i love this neways great job! Y RNT U ON STAGEE!!

[XxxFTIOxxX]

I WANT THAT ESP O.O F***ING SEXY GUITAR!!!!!! and the cover was AWESOME :DDD good job!!!

[TheOnlyZennon]

Dude, awesome job.



[ibo549]

[Aanalleinoneman]

Could you do The Human Abstract - Harbinger?

If not this is still a bad ass song and cover! =)

[TheCaptainCrack]

do you need those guitars? if not have an idea.... :D

[matatoros2]

nice 

[TheJoyOfGaming]

damn this looks fun to play!

[AbstractChaos666]

..you even cover these awesome bands nobody else I know, knows about :o

[guitarfan200]

Only reason why 61 people disliked this video is because they could only wish they could even PLAY the guitar! xDDD KillrBuckeye FTW!!!!

[karonidexya]

If you write The Human Abstract - Polaris on youtube ... The first result is your video

[thtdudewiththehair]

@karonidexya his cover of six by all that remains is the first video that comes up when you type in guitar cover

[karonidexya]

@thtdudewiththehair no no... if you write "The Human Abstract - Polaris " , The first result is his video... at least for me

[thtdudewiththehair]

@karonidexya i didn't say it wasn't...

[yurlyn]

@karonidexya Try googling it ;) First result as well :D

[DiablesDePriere]

you pick weird

[screamingatthesky2]

@DiablesDePriere If it works for him, that's all that matters.

[Proggish]

@DiablesDePriere Nah he just holds it weird, he picks normally though.

[xxxxxxSASHxxxxxx]

Crazy good... Someday I'll be that good!

[Guitarledgend0123]

after five and a half years im finally getting closer to your skill level everyday ;D!

[MANVARD]

thats one AMAZING SOUND!

[xXDaRkXNoVaXx]

61 ppl were headbangin so hard that they passed out n hit the dislike button by mistake...

[fleamichael0]

I learned the intro to this song, but I can't play it half as well as you.

[SvRazor33]

Epic cover, epic band, epic song....nothing else to say.

[grefflit]

hey what pedal are you using in this video? and what amplifier?

[MetalSword106]

mhhh i got a floyd rose III edge but it's really difficult to tune in Drop C or in D standard :(((

[falco1407]

@MetalSword106 if you dont use a whammy bar you could always cut a block of wood and turn it into a hard tail thats what i did... it works fine but it has to perfectly into the hole to work

[MetalSword106]

@falco1407 ahh ok thanks :) but I think I need the whammy bar..

[falco1407]

@MetalSword106 ok...lol have the pain in the ass of having to balance it... im too lazy but thats just me

[jhorneljohn02]

Killrbuckeye, how long does it take for you to transcribe a song such as this and the others that you cover?

[sargysarg]

dude your sooo good!!

[guitargod952]

Hey KillrBuckeye, I bet Kirk Hammet looks at this and laughs his ass off(in a good way) keep it up bro. BADASS cover

[guitargod952]

anyone else goin to the show on the 16th?

[ryanmorawski]

Fuck.



[greenbeaner69]

^^^^^ check out nocturne in the responses ;)

[josetheguitarist]

good from the good old days when nathan was still in the band,good job on the cover,read that you arent very active on this account anymore but just thought id ask what kind of camera are you using to record and what kinda amp are you using to get that nice heavy yet clean tone like THA?

[MrGuitar185]

@josetheguitarist everything is on his website

[MrPsyKOlogical]

funny how i found out about you with this song and not any of your outher more famous covers, haha saw this band live before a knew about em but they were amazing

[DawnOfDoom12]

This song is so much fun to play, thanks for the tab (yes i checked ur site) :)

[Eclipse2958]

Awesome band, awesome cover!

[caseyguitarist]

this was in there nocturne album right?

[MrPsyKOlogical]

@caseyguitarist yes

[tonzera22]

você tem presença mais do que muita banda... muito bom! parabéns

[alexjr2424]

Why does the vid cut out at 2:24?

[MitchieCookie123]

@alexjr2424 cuz you touch yourself at night.

[alexjr2424]

@MitchieCookie123 Dude... You're a mind reader...

[Mthug007]

this guy is great... he inspired me to start playing like almost 3 years ago (well him and meghanthemetalqueen) and I haven't looked back... I just hope I can be that good someday. I upload videos so my friends can see but I watch killrbuckeye's and get embarrassed lmao

[Mirrari]

amazing cover!

[karnage969]

Awesome! You should cover Antebellum off of THA newer album. Their guitarist comes up with great riffs

[trivcob91]

MY GOD ! =O

[INSAN37]

two words: Holy Shit.

that was a fantastic cover

[bce5150]

sick you're awesome

[muzmurder3]

PERFECT.

[star2knight]

man this guy is too awsome

i wanna be able to play like he does



[jwahlx91]

60 people were so mind blown that they suddenly turned blind and accidentally hit dislike instead of like.

[boombop3]

OMG!!!!!!! U R LIKE THE SHIT

[irishzeroli]

60 people want to kill themselves cuz of this guy lol

[KerrangCooper]

Excelent Cover dude, you play so good :) congrats

[fernandovh2006]

The Best!

[synJAKEa7x]

I respect you more than anyone for being able to play this.

[metaldemon98]

The reason why the camera goes outta focus sometimes is because of the epicness of KillrBuckeye. It can't keep up.

[MiesoPL]

Great playing!

[KittyyyJodeeaa630]

hÎhi_I_fÉêl_sÕ_lÕNelÿ_tôÐÄý

[kCmVideoFTW]

Be my father!

[possumkilla1020]

What I would do to have a beer with this guy

[kinderleinchen]

awesome!!

[sammysstuff1]

i want your life, you jsut seem to rock out to great music and record it...sounds like the lifestyle i need xD rock on bro and keep up the fantastic work =]

[xXMETALRULZ666Xx]

you my good sir qualify for the status of badass

[Link00420]

I just viewed This Song While Viewing the Tabs for it ;;; And you Know What I believe I can Learn this Woo Hoo .. It,ll take awhile But It,ll be somthing to Add to My list of Accomplishments - Way Up on the List near the top with lossing my virginity Haha. Yea!

[CooperxPage]

I think one of the best parts about your playing is that technically, you're great. When I listen to you play, I dont hear any sort of break in the flow of the song, you just let it run through perfectly,

You have my respect good sir.

[swagnerman]

:O fucking...amazing... 

[MrPhillba]

dude really awesome. i couldve sworn your fingers were raping the finger board

[MrPsyKOlogical]

just saw these guys live saturday and i had never heard of them before that, but they deserve to be as famous as the band they were opening up for(Born of Osiris)

[BastiTheUnicorn]

great great great!!! fucking good :)

[papasmurf581]

Hey killrbuckeye, I was wondering if you could make a guitar cover video of "Hymn of a Broken Man" by Times of Grace. It would be much appreciated.

[cragus2004]

Please please make another video?

[MrBeefCaek]

i see another Aj in the making (human abstracts guitarist for those who didnt know)

[killiandu91]

Hello, I look at your videos for a long time, and especially at that her, I would like to know how much the ESP KH which you have. Thank you in advance.

And you manage guy, I would like to have so much talent !

[IdieinBh]

I actually like the cover more than the actual song.

[blackdahlia901]

@IdieinBh The cover is the same as the actual song.. there's no difference. So it's more like, you just like watching someone play it.

[MANVARD]

agreed but i would still like to hear the voice louder :)

[iamthehighlander1]

@IdieinBh I actually like the guitar more than the cover of the actual song.

[MrMino503]

i hope one day i'll play like you

[SwitchMoose5]

Hey man, great cover, you've even inspired me to learn it myself. But i'm having a huge problem: what tuning is it in? I can't really tell whether it's in Drop D, Standard E, I have a hunch it might be in drop C#, and Drop C is my last guess.

Long story short, What tuning is it in? I'm sure a LOT of fellow guitar players would thank you for an answer.

[7Stringuzr]

@SwitchMoose5 its in D standard. DGCFAD

[ultimoXgamer]

Out of curiosity what kind of strings do you use?

[mrkrhogan]

Thank you KillrBuckeye for all your hard work. This band friend requested me on facebook. I only heard a couple of songs for the first time today. This is my first time listening to this song and all I have to say is I'm buying this CD tomorrow.

[LTpingpwn014]

I'm so confused how something like this gets 59 dislikes. It's flawless!

[jefersonfactory]

AKELE PAU NO CU DO KARAIO KE COMENTOU EM 1 NEM SABE O KE TA FALANDO NEM CONHECE METAL O IRMAO VAI SE FUDE SE TEM INVEJA KE O KARA TOKA NÉH TA PENSANDO OK PULA LONGE KIILL TOKA MELHOR GOSTEI DO SOM MANO

[skatefallen15]

I remember watching this 2 years ago and thinking how insanely hard stretching from 1st to 5th fret was to play that chord, haha

[TisBrianMang]

The song isnt too hard to play is it? it looks hella fun! also what is the tuning?

[BTBAMisAmazing]

@TisBrianMang not very hard at all. D Standard

[efp1103]

How does it feel to know that your cover pops up before the actual song does when i search "Polaris"

[streetskater03]

@efp1103 What's even more awesome is that he has WAY more views than pretty much all the actual songs, combined, here on Youtube, lol.

[efp1103]

@streetskater03 wow, high five to this guy

[mCnTHEMITOW]

UNSTOPABLE! =O

[mikepshena]

hey man, i love your originals and covers. Im not sure how often you take requests but i was wondering if you could cover Stream of Consciousness by Dream Theater. its an instrumental by them. im sure you could play the whole song but i wanna see if could do the solo. that will be awesome if you could cover this

[LTpingpwn014]

I remember seeing this video 3 years ago, when I just started getting into metal. I didn't like this band much back then....but I love them now! Great cover! :D

[crazyboy4793]

i love how this video got about 10x more views then the all of the actual polaris videos

[UnderCrimsonSkies]

HOLY SHIT MAN! YOU ARE SOOOO AWESOME

[tommyallcock1]

KillrBuckeye You are the man.. What about a band,Tours,Girls and Booze..LOL!!!

Keep Rockin...Bleed B.L.S.

[highonfire3653]

you should cover endzeit by heaven shall burn i see you cover alot of metalcore type stuff and there a really heavy band!

[summitthescale]

What's your UG screen name man? I'm gonna shoot you a friend request.

[luckyrulezdood]

wha tuning is this in???

[Tobsson]

@luckyrulezdood d-drop

[RoastyB]

@luckyrulezdood Depends on how you play it, but if you play with the tabs that KillrBuckeye has provided on his website it is in D standard. The strings are tuned as follows:

d

A

F

C

G

D

[AfterStory182]

One of the best covers I've seen.

[TheGenetic1]

your a badass , nuff said :)

[GuitaroBretz1]

so awesome my friend i love all your covers and originals are so sweet if you get a chance id really like to see you cover the human abstracts newer song faust i was not so much a fan of midheaven as i was nocturne but they have minette back and i love his classical influences there new cd already has made me very happy with the few songs ive listened to faust is my favorite so far and i know if anyone is up to par on doing a cover of theres its you thanks for such great music and go bucks!
