The Contortionist - Primal Directive [Cover]

[mario1136]

Great cover man! Do you have a tab for Advent? I really wanna learn that one

[AnthonyBuck860]

@mario1136 Thank you, and no I don't. I figured it out by ear a while ago, but I feel like some parts I learned wrong.

[AnthonyBuck860]

@mario1136 Thank you, but no I don't. I learned it by ear a while ago, but I think I learned a couple parts wrong.

[mario1136]

@AnthonyBuck860 Aw man D: I have trouble mainly with the sweeping part. But my guitar teacher is getting me started on how to sweep.

[AnthonyBuck860]

@mario1136 Hmm, I found those sweeps to be on the easier side. But if you're not familiar with how to sweep, jumping into a 5 string sweep isn't the easiest. But then again it's a good scale to learn a 5 string sweep on. I found the tapping part even harder than the sweeps. So you've got yourself a challenge haha

[mario1136]

@AnthonyBuck860 Aw man. It's almost like they're trying to make their song's as hard as possible. But hey, any contortionist song is perfect for exercising your guitar skills. I can do a bit of 3 and 4 string sweeping, but not quite ready for 5 yet lol. See, I've only been playing for 3 1/2 years

[AnthonyBuck860]

@mario1136 I don't think it's that they're trying to be most technical, a lot of bands can outdo with technical skill (Necrophagist, Brain Drill, any tech death band haha). But you're right, jamming with TC is good for your playing in general. I feel it helps with playing weird rhythms with confidence. But just keep on sweeping, I've been playing for a little over 5, and I'm not the best, but I can jam them!

[mario1136]

@AnthonyBuck860 Alright man! Thanks for your advice :D Yeah, contortioinst is NOT one of those bands for beginners hahaha

[retrowheels]

great job man! Some ear you got, I was trying to figure this one out as well but I gave up pretty early on and figured out Vessel instead.

[AnthonyBuck860]

@retrowheels Thanks man, it took some time to figure some of the riffs, but nothing I couldnt figure out with the ole' one headphone trick. Vessel seems like there's just too many notes to figure out hahah I think I might try to learn Contact next, I've got a couple riffs down.

[retrowheels]

@AnthonyBuck860 any chance you'd be willing to tab it out and i could tab vessel and we could trade? haha

[AnthonyBuck860]

@retrowheels I'm down for it! I've already started tabbing out, figured a bunch of people would like to know how to play it.

[retrowheels]

@AnthonyBuck860 alright man, I'm working on my tab now... theres no way I'm gonna get the rhythms correct... but all the notes should be there. Let me know when your done!
