This is such a bad ass song.. I like the D standard version off of First Strike is Deadly better than original version. I can kinda hear the mistakes on the solo but other than that everything sounded pretty bad ass!
Thanks but I learned the song by ear (I never use tab). I know it's not perfect and I found lots of mistakes after I recorded it. I can probably play it better now. Amazing song, amazing band.
regardless, you did a pretty decent job. I could hear the mistakes in the solo, but it wasn't that you were messing up, it's just that you learned it different.
I like your tone alot though, you should put up more vids : )
very good........it´s not easy ....for evrybody saying shit, please, do a video, then speack.. your fucking pieces of shit....unbalivable,probably cant play the first riff and are constantly badmouthing others one........go eat horse shit.
its so fuckin' exciting to see people playing like you, people who feel metal in their veins.. fuck yeah! what a good song, metal get together son many cultures that is fuckin' awesome, once again grettings from Chile and Latinamerica!
nice coverjob and you´ve got really a great tone. what a pity that i´m from germany and seeking for a new guitarist to reform my old band... you would perfectly fit on it!
btw: great stuff that i could hear from "bet the devil".
As the intro says... Line 6 POD XT plugged directly into my computer's audio. That's all I used to record this (The POD is an amp model emulator - don't remember which amp sound I was using when I recorded it though). However, I now use a Mesa Triple Rectifier + Laney 4x12 Cab when I play live shows with my new band.. BET THE DEVIL - the sound is heavy as balls.
holy shit!! that was awesome!! How long did it take you to learn that song? I'm working on the new order now and am having some trouble with it! tough song!
Thanks man. Tough to say how long it took to learn it. But I've been listening/jamming Testament for the last 15 years. Practice makes perfect. Now I should re-record this song because I found about 20 mistakes since I recorded this. If you like Testament, you should check out some of my new Metal band's vids on my channel. BET THE DEVIL. We just got started but it's sounding pretty sick so far. Thanks.
Thanks bro, yeah I'm really stoked about this new band. It's coming together so fast. I've been in a number of bands in the past couple years - mostly punk rock & hardcore which I love playing but my roots are METAL all the way. It's nice to be a little more "technical" and heavier again. Stay tuned on my channel for more. I'm sure I'll be posting more vids in the future.... peace
oh my fucking god!!!!!!!!!!!!! that was the best fucking cover fucking ever!!!!!!!!!!! i thought you would play the studio version but you played the live version and it sounded fucking perfect dude!!!!!!!!!!!!! bad ass fucking guitar dude.....bad ass.... i wish i could play like that
Wow, thanks for the compliment! Actually that was a studio version of the song. Testament released an album in 2001 called "First Strike is Deadly" that is all remakes/re-records of songs from their first 2 albums - The Legacy and The New Order. I highly recommend it. These are my 2 favorite albums and the remake in 2001 with better recording & mastering sounds incredible (and tighter than the old versions). I know i make mistakes in this song but I did my best at the time. Thanks again...
the remake has way better sound quality, but they slowed down some of the songs that were meant to be played as fast as possible, the title track for example. nice cover btw
FINALLY! someone that has a video that can play the solo correctly... everyone just half asses the diminished run right after the harmonized part and just tremolo picks and throws a pinch harmonic... You did it right though. Im impressed. Great job
Thanks man! I know it's not perfect, but I'm an old metal schooler and wish I had more time to practice like in the old days. Thanks for the kudos. That song & Testament itself was a huge influence for me growing up and learning guitar.
Thanks man. I know it's not perfect but NO ONE will ever perfectly match Alex Skolnick! I never use tab and only learn by ear so I know my shit's not perfect but I give my best shot. OLD Testament is a huge inspiration for me and such good challenge to learn. Best of luck to you and I look forward to watching your vids too. Peace...
I've already told you how awesome you are so I won't go into that. You know I love TestAmenT... you got me into them in 7th grade! Thanx for everything! PEACE!!!
