[davidsueoka]

dude, you coulda made it more seamless if you finger picked it! But eitherway great cover! Just getting into this band, they always have a new sound everytime I listen to them. Kinda thinking about having my band sound like this, but our own. Happy trails man!

[thedeadserv]

@davidsueoka hehe, nah, I was prolly tired from the takes lol. not even Steve plays this finger picked. Its suicide for the fingers lol. you've found a great band to get inspired on. They just keep getting better and better! :D

[UndyingWolf25]

nice cover :)

in which tuning is the guitar?

[thedeadserv]

@UndyingWolf25 Thanks. Drop D.

[Zeallottt]

cool cover 

[thedeadserv]

@Zeallottt thanks!

[larsyulia]

well done dude

[thedeadserv]

@larsyulia thanks!

[juankashi]

Like it, nice job dude.

[thedeadserv]

Thanks!

[Hedon11]

hey what kind of distortion are you using? thanks

[thedeadserv]

Hey. It's Marshall amp simulator with ubber gain and some compression, also equalized. From a GT-3 pedal.

[Hedon11]

thanks mate :)

[vidzaratm]

Epic cover...Are you using a flanger at 1:05 ?

[thedeadserv]

Thanks! I think it's a clean sound with chorus and tremolo.

Either that or a deep chorus with a high rate. Any of those should do, with the right settings.

[vidzaratm]

thanks man :)

[thedeadserv]

no prob!

[shredthegnar0]

PT is the only reason i wish i knew how to play guitar.. very nice job :)

[thedeadserv]

PT is one of the many reasons I'm glad I know how to play gutar... hehehe! Thanks!

[AlexanderDavidBand]

very nice playing.

just my preference, but in the chorus when it goes to the C5 chord i like to start it with the root on the a string so my hand doesnt have to go as far.

But just saying.

PT RULES

[thedeadserv]

thanks!

I do the root note on the D string for a heavier voicing. works as well hehehee.

Tks for the comment!

[annihithrax]

very nice man! :)

[thedeadserv]

Thanks!

[Nelahblue]

great job brother. great to see a great guitar player covering a great song. keep it up!

[thedeadserv]

Thanks! Will do!

[SoulfulSausages]

I'm no guitarist...but I adore PT..this is awesome! :)

[thedeadserv]

Heheh! Thanks!

[WeirdoTalkTV]

Well, I guess your right. I kinda meant world of covering. You know what I mean!

[thedeadserv]

lol... yeah... just being a bitch heheheheh!

[WeirdoTalkTV]

I think this is so amazing that just one man did this alone. YOU RULE THE WORLD OF MUSIC!!!!!

[thedeadserv]

heheh actually that whould go to Steve Wilson.

Tks for the comment!

[pabelster]

This video is awesome.

What kind of effects do u use for the distorted part?

i love that sound, i tought it was a bigmuff and bought one but nah.. it wasnt.

[thedeadserv]

Hmm just your typical Boss GT-3 distortion hehehe.

Tks for the comment!

ROCK ON!!

[CJScrivano]

this video helped me learn this awesome tune on bass. Thanks for the vid! Nice playin.

[thedeadserv]

bass?? loll kaay! I'm just glad if it was helpful hehehe!

Tks for the comment!

[CJScrivano]

Well Jaco always said if you want to learn the song even on bass, learn the melody first and it will help you with the rest!

[thedeadserv]

Hmmm too true. I've got most of my fav songs bass lines memorized pretty much on every detail just from listening to them hehehe!

Good luck on your playing and ROCK ON!!!

[stonerdemon]

Great cover!! I suggest you to play the song doin the bass notes with the 6th string on the part starting at 4:42. Its tricky, but if youre planning on playing this song with your band (just like I do), it will sound much better, and it will add a lot of power to your performance if youre only three (just like us) Good luck!! :)

[thedeadserv]

Yo! Tks for the tip! I'm not certain but I'm pretty sure that's the way it's played originally. Though I'm not doing this on a band hehehe. I'd have to try it but I haven't been playing much PT these days. Learning and making new stuff heheeheh!

TKs for the comment and good luck with yer band!! Share your cover with us if you can!!

ROCK ON!!!

[stonerdemon]

Hey!! yes, the original version is not played that way indeed, but I do it because we are a trio and we need the extra punch. Its worth the effort and the extra finger stretching hehehe!! In fact, I play a louder version, using two or three strings instead of one. I hope i can upload my version soon. I need a cam!!! but I will do it at my brothers house next week!!! Talk to you soon!! ;)

[thedeadserv]

Nice dood! make sure you post a video reply here! The more the merrier hehehehe!

[Blindvisions1]

Has anyone uploaded the long version of this song on its own?

[thedeadserv]

Long version? Never heard of it dude... or rather, I don't think it exists...

[Blindvisions1]

This is the long (Album) Version. The only version of this song I can find on youtube is a shorter (Singal) version. You wanna just upload this song on its own? You'll get loads of views...From me. lol.

[thedeadserv]

.... lolz... I only know the album version...

why whould you want it here...? why not just buy it or download it...?

[Blindvisions1]

1. For the last couple of years its been out, I haven't found it in music shops.

2. I'm blind so downloading off of eyetunes is near enough imposible. If I get an upgrade to my screanreading software, then I'll be able to. Learned how to use MSN yesterday.

[thedeadserv]

Well if I only upload videos of me playing guitar with the backtrack. They have already shut down the audio of some porcupine tree videos of mine. If I uploaded one it would immediately be locked because both bmg and roadrunner give youtubers hell and I can't afford to risk my account being deleted... sorry but I can't help you there... too risky.

[Blindvisions1]

Dude no wurries. What happened to roadrunner's channel anyway? They took all thier vids down a while ago and I haven't heard anything.

[thedeadserv]

hmmm don't know... I was there just an hour ago and it was all there. I think...

[Totfletchman415]

DUDE!!!!

awesome song

awesome band

crazy awesome cover.

progressive rock on!!

[thedeadserv]

Yeah!Glad you liked it!

[matti1337]

at least, we will record it into a soundfile :)

[thedeadserv]

sure, then upload a vid with pics or something so we can hear it. heheh

[matti1337]

hey dude.

NICE cover.

we are ( want to :D ) playing this song in our band ( just 4 fun and because we all like pt ), and we had quite a hard time getting drums, bass, guitars and vocals together.

i have to admit, some parts are not as easy as they seem to be - esp. the multiple changes in rhythm. 6/8 to 4/4 to 6/8 to 5/4 and so on :D

i like this incredible band.

[thedeadserv]

yo! thnks for the comment! If you get the chance, post a video of you guys playing and post a video reply to my video!

Best of luck and ROCK ON!!!

[Vingtcent20100]

Hehe you forgot the solo ;-)

What are the chords at the end? (the "Dont try to be light you dont mind" riff)

[thedeadserv]

Hhhehehe yeah... on purpose lolol!

And it whould be "...like you don't mind". I reallly don't remember and don't know the naming of the chords. I just made 'em up like with everything else I do ehehhe. But most of them are barre chords but without the bar. U just gotta find the voicing that you like for each.

Best of luck and ROCK ON!!!

[hemilover52]

nice cover man

[thedeadserv]

Tks!

[CorpseGrinder33]

Awesome cover! Try blackest eyes

[thedeadserv]

Thnks! I already did though hehehe! It has lower video and audio quality cuz I did it with a cybershot lol. But still audible.

Have fun and tks for the comment!

[wilsitonramirez]

Porcupine tree rules!!!!, nice job!!!

[thedeadserv]

Yeah they do!!!!, thanks!!!!

[Pacifist75]

SW's solo album will be available in feb. in the states....check your local best buy.....nice jam btw been tryin to find somebody who covered this

[thedeadserv]

Niiiice! Can't wait!

Glad you liked it too!

Thnks for the comment!

[kenshin4227]

You have great guitar skills and an awesome taste in music! Porcupine Tree is the best.

[thedeadserv]

Heheh! I have my fair share of the first and lots of the second!

Thanks for the comment! Glad you liked it!

[BmanBamBran]

i love it, you get the same recoil sound i do when i play it, funny you never hear it in the live shows

again awesome, insurgentes next?? :D

[thedeadserv]

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

Idk about insurgentes. I'm assuming that being SW's it's gonna be brilliant, but I can't find it anywhere to be bought or downloaded (assuming a future purchase of course... lol).

Do you know anywhere to buy it or own it yourself btw...?

[BmanBamBran]

well...there was microsite, but the only things on sale are the limited editiion CDs and Vinyls, ii think a regular CD is coming out in febuary cos the limited is sold out...its lame

[thedeadserv]

meeeeh... guess I'll be looking around till then... thanks!

[moesgaard]

Nice video and playing! Impressive from the singer of killswitch engage!!! :) Keep on rocking :)

[thedeadserv]

Hmmm... glad you liked it dude! But mm this whould be Steve Wilson singing. Not Leach. I like killswitch and all, but it's got little to do with this hehehehe.

Anywho, I'm just glad you liked it! Thanks for the comment! Peace and ROCK ON!!!

[Birrian]

I love you cover I'm thinking of doing a drum cover to this song, might take me a few months, because of the odd timing, but ill do it. Didn't your hand start to cramp? lol Great Job man many props!

[thedeadserv]

Thanks bro!

Hm... I don't think it started to cramp. If the song went right its cuz of my lack of skill, heheh nothin else.

If you do this on guitar, put up a vid and share it here and with everyone!!!

Keep rockin!!!

[Baronvon]

Superb! I'll have to learn sometime.

[thedeadserv]

Don't think it's quite up to the same standards as yours though!

ROCK ON!!!

[skinonskin13]

Great vid and really good tone. 5 stars for you sir!

[thedeadserv]

Thankzies!!! Glad you liked it!!!

[ShagHank]

Nice vids man ! I also wanna record this song, but my sound quality sucks big time, how did you get it this good?

[thedeadserv]

thanks man! I've got the guitar connected to the pc. Recording stereo mix. Recorded vid with a cheap web cam. LOL!

Good luck with yours!!! Make sure you spam it over here when you upload yours!!!!

5 Stars as usual for you mate, learned the song in 15 mins thanks to your vid.

[thedeadserv]

NICE! REALLY NICE!

I'm really glad you liked it, and even more glad it helped you out!

Just notice one thing. I don't think that this is the right way to play the song. I play it in dropped D but I believe I've seen them do regular power chords on this song. Just be aware of that. Anyway! GOOD JOB BRO! ROCK ON!!!

[Batesyboy07]

Coon

[thedeadserv]

hm... ehn.... is that a good or a bad thing? LOL!

[GarrethJohnson]

Congratulations man that was really cool.

Hey dude can you tell me what tuning this song is in? (I dont know many Porcupine Tree songs but I like this one and would love to learn it)

[thedeadserv]

Hey! I'm glad you liked it dood!

The tuning on this one is dropped D.

Good luck on learning this stuff! and if you can, make sure to post a video of you playing it so we can all see it!

good luck again and ROCK ON!!!!

[Priyesh0804]

VERY NICELY DONE!!

i must confess that to me (and 13 yr old daughter) the best part of this incredible song starts at 6:00 min in the 6/8. Love it... thanks again

[thedeadserv]

hahah! thanks! and yer daughter too!

I'm glad you liked it! Though I like the whole thing! heheheh!

If you liked this check out my Anesthetized vid. I like it waaay better and I think you will too! got it in 3 parts here, and full at GoogleVideo hehehe.

Enjoy!

[tutacom]

You got what it takes, greetings from Brazil.

Nice Explorer.

[thedeadserv]

[tutacom]

And the drumline? What do you use for it?

hope you liked it!

[Mark89Poland]

[thedeadserv]

[Mark89Poland]

nice, it has taken you 3 minutes to response. impressive

[thedeadserv]

oh. it took me less. but I got interrupted. lol...!

[GabooN]

[HATECREWrulz123]

I'm not sure but isn't this supposed to be on an acoustic? Good job anyway though.
