SJP - Selkies the Endless Obsession (Cover)

[AyeEnDeeWy]

sooo damn good! i couldn't help but to laugh that your name was chin though. Classic.

[bobbyward24]

You got serious skills my friend.

[dethstarr87]

Your videos make me want to stop watching and go practice guitar, but damnit i just cant stop watching!!

[truepersian405]

fawk i wish i could play this on drums...

[theAmspir]

Hey man, what are you tuned to?? Amazing job by the way!!

[29573428937]

@theAmspir C# standard

[adj209]

@29573428937 Wrong. it's Drop C#

[29573428937]

@adj209 I can assure you, it's definitely C# standard. It may vary from time to time, and this I'm not even sure about, but for the most part, it's C# standard. Various transcriptions of their music use the standard tuning.

[svenlk]

like a BOSS

[PhyrigianFlame]

Where did you find the cheat codes to play this song so well? I figured that since you're Asian, you could tell me.

[Chin2797]

@PhyrigianFlame I was born with cheatcodes :)

P.S I'm actually a terrible gamer

[PhyrigianFlame]

@Chin2797 I put the same comment on a different video a year ago...I got over 300 likes...lol

I'm not that good at games, either. Pretty good at guitar.

[skubadoobie]

taaaabs!!



[St3v3n947]

great guitar player wow

[TheHideousRevelation]

The thing I fucking adore about this cover isn't so much your technical prowess - though that's definitely a thing - but that you've captured the soul of the song. Beautiful. Keep it up, man.

[Alouita]

Super clean, perfect tone, full with energy.

[JocelynHatesIt]

This is fucking incredible.

[dickweeddonnie1990]

very talented best cover ever keep it up yo

[jetmohsli]

Tuning?



[SFLOVER94]

@jetmohsli C# Standard mate. 

[danyoutubaccount]

Awesome song + awesome talent = awesome cover

[americaninjaX]

Those sweeps were some of the cleanest I've heard. You must be a janitor in your spare time.

[weischamp]

@americaninjaX ba dum tsh

[mso872]

So I never noticed how the synth intro of this song whizzes right to left, its fuckin trippy on 7.1 surround headphones. Sick cover!

[imonlyyoureverything]

guys, btbam always play in C# standard or drop C#.

anyway, mind blowing cover mate. do you write as well? if so, I'd love to hear it.

[dooley21988]

that was sick

[AxisofRock]

Had to be asian.

[danielxdglaciuus]

holy mother of jesus...........

thank you :D such an amazing performance of this great song

[xkiller5]

I'm in love with the sweeping at the end!!! Can you send me that tabs for that?!?! Or guitar pro?!

[iBIurr]

@xkiller5 It's on Ultimate-Guitar just search it. The guitar pro for it is perfect.

[BallBearingTurboFC3S]

DiMarzio leads with INF4 neck?

[Saintzer077]

Best Selkies cover on YouTube hands down!!!

[c0ckNockeR]

fuckin amazing, dude. that last part must have been a bitch lol

[Severusoul]

cover some Dillinger Escape Plan man.

[metalizationism]

on a lighter note, really awesome cover, awesome guitar

[metalizationism]

i cannot stand such racist bastards on here, seriously, i bet he can play circles around everybody who makes fun o f him on this video

[Panther00000]

Props for doing it right

[greenbirdd]

gg



[DrTLove09]

"Me Pray to make up for rack of rength." 

[AmericanMetalGuitar]

@DrTLove09 no, you make racist jokes to hide your insecurity.

[MrPeytonB]

Darn you ASIANSSSSS

[ShredWithMe]

it took me an hour to learn almost the first 3 minutes. i've been playing guitar for over 10 years, i've never felt so, for lack of a better word, "Unaccomplished" Nice cover man

[AxMxF151]

You should really play Altitudes by Jason becker. i havent heard anyone play those sweeps clean on youtube. you would be the perfect guy to cover that song lol

[Deathxcore18]

GOT DAMN SPIDERWALK

[pavanjared]

Am I right to conclude that you are playing in Drop D?

[kilipeti]

@pavanjared more like Drop C#, isn't it? I would be delighted if sy could tell me cause i can't figure it out well either.

[pavanjared]

@kilipeti I figured this out after my comment. BTBAM plays in C standard, so from comparing tabs to how SJP plays, he is tuned in drop D.

[kilipeti]

@pavanjared have you found any original tabs? in drop C/standard C? cause I only found drop C# and stuff, though some say BTBAM plays in standard D, some say standard C#... Confusing. And more confusing is that the fingering in the tabs are very different from tab to tab. I want to learn it but the tabs I've found have too weird fingerings, I bet it is much easier, like this guy playing it. Too lazy to transpose to other tuning and fingering from those stupid tabs.

[pavanjared]

@kilipeti I'm 100% sure they play in C standard. I play along with the song on my guitar, which is in C. One of the Guitar Pro tabs on ultimate guitar is right. I don't have the exact link, just google it.

[kilipeti]

@pavanjared I've tried all the ultimate-guitar tabs, only one was in standard C#, but it was bad. The most rated tab is in standard C# as well. I've watched the live version and I'm sure it's standard, but dunno if C or C#.

[robinjam304]

6:28 - Ho-ly-shit...

[texasboy235]

holy shit. you are really talented!

[chicksand3]

So in the sweeping solo, The only note you are tapping is the 22nd fret? please respond. Getting tripped up here learning it.

[SexualManRenob]

@chicksand3 Why would you need to tap any other fret? The corresponding following note would be the 20th fret? You can just reach that with your pinkie

[chicksand3]

@SexualManRenob Cause the tab im reading where said so. But i think that was to compensate cause in the recording he taps a 24th fret on the second sweep right after the 20th fret.

[FVWIC5150]

4:40-7:00

[MrBrutalbreakdownz]

Good shit man

[ACDCwarmachine]

i hope your school has a talent show. BLOW EVERYONE AWAY

[sk8ingrox1]

Perfect cover. Very very nice. At 6:28 or so I thought to myself notjealousnotjealousnotjealous DARN IT!

I looked at the video.

Good job bro.

[juliojrdn]

I KNEW Paul waggoner was secretly Asian!!! :D

[TheMrRye]

The 1 sweep I'm not sure how to do is the the one at 6:32. The way I've been told to do it is (in c# standard): e 17p12, b 13, g 14, b 13, e 12 17p12, b 13, g 14, d 14, a 15 12h15, d 14, g 14, b 13, e 12 17p12, b 13, g 14, b 13, e 12h17s19.

[TheMrRye]

Hey I'm looking for any help from people who can play this song and other BTBAM stuff. I'm able to play basically every part (including sweeps) except those fast picking runs like at 6:25. It's really restricting my abilities and I practice the runs every day I just can't seem to get anywhere near that speed. Please help.

[Aaron36CF]

Nailed it dude! Well done!

[Sommarkattt]

Btw, I cried tears of awesomeness and jealousy while watching this.

[Sommarkattt]

Whats the tuning?

[LINKdrkguy]

@Sommarkattt this is youtube.com not google bra =P

[Sommarkattt]

@LINKdrkguy

erm, right.

[LINKdrkguy]

@Sommarkattt u mad

[BakerMassacre]

@Sommarkattt He's tuned in Drop C#, and the original song is done in C# Standard.

[BakerMassacre]

This is an amazing cover, the only thing I don't really like about it is that you played it in a Dropped tuning. I like it better when you stay true to the nature of the song and play it in the tuning that it was created, but I can't even complain about the quality of the song.. It was just amazing.

[GSHdesign]

Ungoddamnedbelievable. That was truly inspiring. I usually only write negative things on youtube, but that was remarkable.

[eazyb33zy]

Beautiful.

[ryansiew1]

bro this is probably my favorite cover of yours!

[mikalow26]

OK BROSKIE shit is fucking sick i know everyone else has said it but JOB WELL DONE THE SOLO WAS AMAZING

[mmmFrenchToast]

Cannot stop the flow of semen.

[LINKdrkguy]

[iBIurr]

@PoopOnMyLip about 2 years.

[GarrisonSon1]

awesome bro.

[kylefromnj]

what tuning are you using

[DjentMeister]

@kylefromnj It's in C#, but I guess he's playing it in drop C#? So D# (half a step down from standard), with the bottom string dropped a step lower.

[willpumpkin]

So good man! You nailed the whole song! So cool!!

[EEEDDDIIITTT]

holy shit

[6crimson6]

FUCKING A!

What's the tuning on this one please? :)

[RockLeeSmile]

I still can't get over how good you are... any chance at doing Prequel to the Sequel?

[pbear83]

[ChablesMan]

Holy shit

[Inquisition101]

[DavidRayT]

@DavidRayT Kidding, of course. I love blues. haha

[13L4CKV]

@DavidRayT blues guitarists are bad? lol

[DavidRayT]

@13L4CKV No. Just lots of guitarists that don't have skills either say it's "blues" or "indie". XD

[dozer1196]

You make me want to stop playing and use my guitar as fire wood. Amazing cover of an amazing song.

[Kemosopy]

Love it. Man I wish i could play like this, how long have you been playing for?

[Athelian]

Please cover their EP when it comes out, I miss your videos :(

[MrRyanWelsh]

Vibratos are cool and all, but not for every sustained note there ever was. Good cover though!

[ravagetalon]

Prequel to the Sequel please!

[lethalbydefault]
