Thomas Leeb cover - Quicksilver

[121jigawatts]

Wonderful cover! The best guitar players in the world make "guitar faces" LOL! Watch Steve Vai dude, that guy gets downright ugly sometimes but plays like and angel. I really want to learn this song but I want to know if the G is really tuned all the way down to C? It sounds like it just stays at "G".

haha the mid percussion part was well done! ^_^ haha dont trip!

great job by the way!!!

im currently working on this one & i have a problem, its hard for me to pick the harmonics with my thumb in the beginning & im trying to do it with my index & mid finger, is it possible or should i just go with the thumb?

cuz your vid makes me want to give the thumb another shot haha, very well done!

[1990haggis]

cheers man!!

yeah it is possible to use the mid and index, i think thats the best way to do it cus it frees up the thumb for playing bass notes when needed, but i struggle that way as well so just use the thumb untill i can to it well enough with themid n index.

very nice cover! what's the tuning? what kind of material did you use for the scratch pad?

[1990haggis]

sorry for the late reply dude. The tuning is CGDCBbD and the scratchplate is made of plastic.

[moonunitenar]

the intro is Antoine Dufour piece, right?

You certainly did this justice. This is one of my favourites off the desert pirate album too. Nice ending XD

[1990haggis]

Hahaha cheers man. the intro I play is the same intro in Quiksilver, i just took that bit from a different recording cus it was better. Think some of antoine dufours songs use that wierd harmonic technique though.?

[beeechpleeez]

whats that thing taped... improvised pick guard?

[1990haggis]

home made scratch plate for parts of the percussion.

[CaelSeraphim]

next you should tackle "The Shearing"

[CaelSeraphim]

I can't seem to figure out how to get my low E string to C, my tuner isn't helping at all by the way and I got one of the ones that tune by the vibration of the guitar.

Some song for a beginner like me to start learning, right......^~^;;

[cabbagepatchkid1987]

mate....they seem to get better n better each time anova awesome tune hag love it!

[1990haggis]

Safe as houses mate cheers!

[Rael0505]

That's a really nice guitar. Was it damaged below the soundhole, though?

Excellent cover, by the way. You have great percussive technique.

[1990haggis]

Cheers man, its not damaged I just stuck on makeshift scratch plate for the percussion. It is a really nice guitar but unfortunately I may have to sell it.

[CaelSeraphim]
