The human abstract - Mea culpa by Koen_lespaul

[jayce1231]

@KoenLespaul where on their myspace page?

[moeforever7]

We could totally jam this cause I know how to play the other guitar for the song =)

[joshburton32]

giggity. 

[LegendofDimeBag]

good job, u can definitely play well, i noticed that at 2:57 you played exactly wat the guitar pro plays, but if u listen to the song u hear that that time when your goin thru it it goes higher and higher, and for some reason the gp version shows those last two or three runs down wat sounds like prob an octave,and i know u know wat i mean and if u listen ull hear it to, but other than that u ripped it pretty solidly.

[TheMichaelclark]

mr.sandman if sweeping different arpeggios and having clean isnt hard then wtf is, ive been sweep picking for a couple years and to get it to sound clean and accurate takes hundreds of hours of practice and major tone adjustments

[monsterofmuaythai]

cmon man hundreds of hours?

[zacdarider]

guys, u r too serious...

[ivancool3]

nice

[UnitedChickens]

Good playing but what are you playing on a 5WT amp ?

[theflavasava2]

thats nothing bad i play on a 10wt Amp too at home cause the Tower is in the House of the Drummer all time

[keiichi1]

@theflavasava2 yay im not the only lazy one

[qwerty456b]

good playing but the beginning sounds shitty without the drums and shit

[zacdarider]

whats up? ur mommy doesnt want you too loud? PLAY THE FUCK MORE LOUD ! we can even hear your strings

-_-". But, good job for the rest

[BSSBproductions]

You dropped the octave perfectly at 2:58. Nice one.

[rockndrollqueen232]

not bad, not bad at all... x x x

[Bullet4MyBinLaden]

i like it how u give us all the finger as u play

[BusherWack]

This guitar work is fucking insane.

I seriously doubt anyone under at least 7 years of practicing could be able to do this smoothly.

[MrSandman004]

Umm within 4 months i will post a video of me doing this. It will be a year then. I swear not to be arrogant.

sweeping definitely isn't the hardest thing to do, why its so overrated i don't know. Looks the coolest.....

[xspilix]

it sounds out of tune, maybe you should try a different recording method? other than that nice work =]

[titantx]

alright... good cover.. but please at least tune your guitar to the correct tuning.

and i belive the beginning is a little wrong

otherwise, great job

[patofgod]

where did u get the tabs :)

[GOOyouknit]

anyone have CORRECT tabs for this song? send em my way please.

[Own3dUpunk]

omfg dude i want to play this song so baddddddlllyyyy!!

[Valigon]

then turn on the song, grab your guitar and figure it out.. note by note.. if you stop being lazy and looking at tabs, and actualy start learning songs by ear you will start to beable to play almost anything just by hearing it

[Own3dUpunk]

im not that good yet to pick notes out of this song. thats why i said that.

[Valigon]

its not a matter of being good or not, its a matter of trying, heres what you do, you start playing the song, and as soon as you hear the first not stop the song, now sing that note to yourself, and while you are sining it play notes on your guitar till yiou find it, then tab that note down, rinse and repeat for every note in the song.

[Own3dUpunk]

um i know how to pick out notes but im not ganna try because i wont be able to play the song anyway.

[Valigon]

well thats your problem, your shafting your abilities before you even try, look, i know you may not be able to play that fast or complex stuff, but by chalanging yourself to try, and not letting your mind tell you otherwise you will improve your ability to play and your confidence. 90% of guitar is mental, the other 10% is solid practice habbits. just try it, the worst that could happen is you get your ear a little better and decide to try again later.

[Own3dUpunk]

dude just stfu your stupid haha. i cant play it. im not ganna try. ill push my self with songs over my ability...not waayyyy over my ability. you just dont get it. get a clue.

[chronicle15]

He's right though.

[xXxADIKTOxXx]

wwooww!!!

[SymphonicSix]

2:14 = SEX

[grassk33t]

Yeah usually when I make a lame attempt to play THA I don't bother downtuning.

[CWYTGHH]

throw in some reverb for the sweeps and it would be perfect. nice job

[NickaPalooooza]

I came for about the last 3:23 minutes.

[kevstew26]

Man your really good. You did such an awesome job on the prechorus. That part i find is harder than the solo and you nailed it. Check out my profile and tell me what you think of my full cover :P

[MetalMetalMike]

dude you make it look so fukn easy. lol

great job man.

[snwbrdr111]

i think it needs a tad more distortion and give it a bit more on the bass end of the tone. everything else was perfect... beautiful sweeps

[SoulCheese77]

Yes I agree practice with a metronome. And work on the timing, your a little to quick on some of the parts. Good cover tho

[eduardodiaz13]

oh shit sorry i must have been stupid lol.....it does sound the same its just the original has more like an echo'y tone in the song. sorry 6/5 :] dude put the tabs i wanna learn!!!

[eduardodiaz13]

ummm i think u need to tune it diffrently cuz it sounds diffrent from the original....like it needs to be tuned less...idk

but great song i give it a 5/5 :] your fingers are fast :D

[geebhatia]

hella good

[taddy8989]

yeah good job man

[PikeN1kes]

how bout some of you guys saying meekrab try and play it

[MANNYTHIIZZLE]

u have way to much trebla brah but overall good ass copy

[wasssabio]

Try practicing your sweeps to a metronome, They were really sloppy. But overall good job!

[el3m3ntsk8s]

i love how classical the beggining of this song sounds, AND THAT SOLO! =]

[guitargdany007]

great job on the sweeps! I cant do sweeps at all on a les paul

[murmaiderrr]

haha i learned sweeps on les pauls & its way easier on thier ecks now ;p

[kikiphallin]

compared to your vela cover this video kinda sucks... sorry dude but this is very sloppy compared to that other cover.. good job anyway

[hobo92]

those sweeps are so damn brutal!

[MariahInWonderland]

Amazing!!! I LOVE it! Mea Culpa has my all-time fave guitar solo.

[Strike93nl]

It's just kinda-creative sweeping. Nothing that special, although it does sound quite cool.

[MariahInWonderland]

Yeah, it sure does. =]

[jeff111291]

haha i meant "yo" not "you" there

sounded pretty gay

[jeff111291]

you so sweet man

i just saw them at warped and they were insane

were did u get the tab for this or do you have one??

its dead on man

[skullblader]

yer a dick... a dick that can really fuckin sweet guitar

[clinton2010]

hm, -_-

[jimdontskate]

no comprende

[kikiphallin]

se dice no comprendo :)...

[pad264]

from 1:55 until the end...I GOT GOOSEBUMPS...WOW!!! You rule!!!

[H20Dragon]

Jesus Christ, your hardcore!

[tonytrilex]

I say it more intellectual if played in dropped D

[devsternator]

marry me?

[KoenLespaul]

If you were a hot swedish chick i would have said "Yes"

[clinton2010]

ROFL

[xXxADIKTOxXx]

amen

[tonytrilex]

i would totally agree with you that this song is in dropped- D cause I was looking at the sheet music and it makes scence to be in dropped d great job btw. keep practicing seems likes it coming out good

[POOP7205]

The actual song is in C.

[med0123]

wow @ those sweeps :O

[leadshadow]

sick sweeps.

[thecr1pple]

some mistakes but amazing. way better than me

[DizzyZ]

Jesu Christo!

[chancestrozier]

not fair, if i had 8 fingers on my left hand maybe i could play it too. been playing 12 years-you are sick, i dare anyone to do better

[stratelite]

Check out mine I didn't exactly pick each note but it's pretty clean.

[stratelite]

Solo was rushed at times and you let 2+ strings ring a few times.

But, that is a very hard song that I can't play quite that well.

9/10

[leonroque]

holy jesus

[clould92]

YES we all know jesus is holy!! hahahaha =D  its a SICK solo rite?!?!?!?

[stephencore]

the solo was perfect.

incredible.

[MacabreTurtle]

There tab links all say that the file can't be found on the server... *sigh*...

[thecon8988]

that was fucking sick! i love it

[Rodriguito123456]

you're the only one that covers this song without the original music in the background. i dont care about the mystakes, you're awesome

[offal123]

wow man you are awesome!

[phatway12]

i don't care what anybody says, I've seen alot of this guys videos and he is the sickest cover guitarist EVER!!!! Nice job man

[HardcoreTriplex]

You are truly a bad ass. Great taste in music man!  -Subscribed-

[marmotamiasma]

damn dude :) thats pretty nice

[yyzny21688]

A few mistakes here and there, not saying this wasn't great because I definitely couldn't do this, I'm only comparing you to the record. So you did a great job, the only complaint is that you used the bridge pick up the WHOLE TIME even for the sweeping and that drove me nuts!! But your shit was legit dude. it was good.

[haroimdonard]

how much practice did that take?!

[lalojhogez]

am playing that solo the sweep picking is hard but not imposible only 2 months more

[dangerddrr3]

nice man...almost as good as aj used to be

[pointblank78]

oh

my

god

you are insane dude

[thepwnster]

You're really awesome at guitar

I'm learning the solo right now, any tips?

[Muse101Starlight]

OMFG thats awesome! that solos fucking insane dude

[crinnycow]

holy balls...I don't think I could remember any of that if I tried...much less be able to play it.

[DrewsephPwns2TheMax]

that's fucking crazy.

[Flackula]

HOLY FUCK!!!!!!!

[SklLLZ]

man ur left hand is a fuckin creature good shit

[Daxten]

Nothing to say u are fucking good, but can it be that you play the first riff after the intro a little bit different?

I think u change the bass note only 1 time on each part

[sen33]

eXCELLENT!just one question, when you play the triplets in the solo do u strum each note really fast or hammer them?

[KoenLespaul]

I pick each note :)

[sjorsvb]

dude, you should totally check out this band called FukFeez, they reign!

[KoenLespaul]

Kut sjors:P

[sjorsvb]

Haha nee just kiddin' :) Keep up the very nice work!

[RaginCajunRic13]

play some sikth man

[sweepdreams]

sick.

[Ibanezkid84]

BADASS BRO! Just a suggestion, when doing the outro guitar solo try playing the sweeps with your toggle switch in the middle position. It just gives it a warmer /smoother sound. Seriously though start a band, your badass!

[TehxPWNERER1337]

He does have a band! O.o

[Ibanezkid84]

do they have a web page?

[aidecloaken]

Gibsons are some of the best guitars on the planet...

[frankenstein202]

i can tell you take your guitar playing really seriously. how long have you been playing? you're really good.

[KoenLespaul]

I have been playing for 3.5 years now :)

[frankenstein202]

wow ive been playing for 3.5 too and im nowhere near as good as you

[drumgroovy]

The solo was awesomous.

[veganwarriorJR]

dude thats awesome that is some sick playing

[ddanks420]

nice but gibsons suck!

[MysteryShadow17]

wow nice man you killed the sweeping!!

[Mazsk]

nicely played

[volcanoofsushi]

anyone who doesnt think thats good is a fucking dumbass

[lartones]

deadly playing man

[californiaygurl7]

awsomme! u teach my brother guitar dude!!!!!! lol

[ESP4Metal]

great job. awesome.

[youboobzer]

Its not what your playing on its how you play it. Not a very hard concept, how long are you guys gonna argue over opinions?

[rockerchad1]

i have 2 ibanez guitars and 2 ibanez basses

there ok

[sexocidalchris]

opinions.

[rockerchad1]

gibson les pauls probably are theb est guitars i own one and it is far better than any guitar ive ever played greta for any kind of music i have a custom shoip les paul custom amazing guitars aj is an amazing guitar player and les pauls arent hard to play the are very easy unless u are messy they expose messy playing i learned that quick your amazing man

[jadefalcon5]

you dont know fast until you've played ibanez s series xD

ive got an LP

and an s470dxqm

love the lp for beast rhythm chug stuff

but ibanez dominates for speed and shred

[chris38811]

umm Darkwhite knows nothing about guitars because that is an epiphone customized. id know becuase i have the same guitar and i've have talked to koen

[KoenLespaul]

And hes right :P

[whenALLrealityFAILS]

nice fuckin sweep pickin man.

[SanCodos]

ESP Ibanez Jackson from personal experince though ironicly ibanez with emgs tend to suck even though its like a jackson and ibanez put together les pauls are overated and have horible sound for sweeps

[mynameneededtobecool]

haha man i watch this like everyday your pro

[DrMac1279]

hey do you know THA's movement from discord?if so could you make a vid of that one.plz

[Kaelan66]

A little sloppy but it is hard. Keep practicing

Gibson?

[DarkWhite25]

yeah that is a gibson, u can see by the ivory inlays.

[meddelhed]

I think, those are mother of pearl inlays

[danneu8]

extremely good

[silentcivilian55]

dude, that was fucking boss, you are most definitley the fucking man..great job 8D

[howdybillybob]

i think you did pretty good! but i dont think your amp did you much justice

[whodey0683]

Get a better guitar......Les Pauls are really fucking hard to play.....at least they are for me.

[howdybillybob]

LOL GET A BETTER GUITAR?

how about you learn to play it. les pauls are arguably the best gutars made. never settle for the epiphone, only the gibson.

[jadefalcon5]

lmao @ you saying gibson makes the best guitars...

youre shallow and narrow minded.

[howdybillybob]

maybe if you werent a fag you'd read what i said.. arguably? which means, in my opinion, top three.

who would you say makes the best guitars?? fender? roflcopters at that fuckface... ibanez? lolerskates.... i'll eat your soul.

[DarkWhite25]

howdybillybob, couldnt agree more man... Gibson's are fucking great. i dont have enough money to personally afford one, but i got a epi Thunderbird, and an SG. fuck fenders... leo fender must be turning in his grave (if he is dead) at how many retards play his guitars. haha... jackson aint that bad tho.

[darkenedelegy22]

les pauls are great but u might be able to play more comfortably on a jackson or an ibanez or an esp or a music man, which is what they use live

[Mehrtuerer]

thats very good but i think you played the other songs better than this

[KoenLespaul]

Thats what i think to :) Still thinkin about Re-Record it cause i dont really like this one but first i have to record the other ones i gues :)

[AtrumAethra]

i pretty much want to punch you in the face

cuz im 16

[but then again i've only been playing for 2 1/2 years]

[humanabstract]

that sounds and looks so sick, how long it take you to get that song down??

your sweeping is proper mesmerizing haha

sik man

[helenastarr]

damn that was FREAKIN´AWESOME!

[schmoderboat66]

wow. fantastic :)

[bikerboyjord]

you just jammed that song like you wrote it, very impressive!

[DaRockLobster]

YOU ROCK!

[lambslayer2766]

how long did it take u to learn that whole song.

[lambslayer2766]

that was so sick. u can play dude. i need to start trying some of human abstract songs for now on. 5 stars dude.

[xraycatt097]

dood. this is the best human abstract song, period. kudos to you my friend

[swimfast34]

what site did you get your tabs off of?

[DannielHateful]

frekin' awesome..teach me how to do that=(..hahah xD

[Cavio91]

You are the guitars of the human abstract?o.O xDD

[thelastvendetta]

nice man! check out my videos i have 2 of them at warped tour this year and one is just the mea culpa solo

[andreweatsairplane]

thats amazing the solo part at the end is incredible. tahnk you

[AScarlette]

YOOO seriously do I agree with tallblackpunk through me tips about sweeping... jesus christ man

[worst013]

hey bitch;)

yeah,, you sick bastard!xD *jloers*

goe man

was grappig feesje daarstrax,, ben net thuis(A)

ik verwacht binnekort n stiekske op youtube huh;)

en wel de mijne!

xTessie

[peeweesherman]

geez your sick. paid in full neeg!

[hellashes]

I'm guessing you need that 24th fret because you jumped down the octave.

[AutopsyAlert]

you need to slow down and practice your sweeps they're pretty good but alot of the arpeggios get lost in your sweeps. try practicing clean with a metronome and make sure you can hear each distinct note but nice work

[riverdragon666]

good job mate you did crossing the rubicon better tho in my opinion

[RAYxGUN]

nice frickin job... you should re-record a new one though! still 5 stars though because that was better than I could ever do.

[sifboy69]

excellant dude. you've deffinately got talent i dont know much of mea culpa but im also 15 and i have a video of crossing the rubicon on here. but keep jammin man u got a lot goin for you

[voodooxchild]

you should clean it up and re-record it. its pretty good though about 70% there

[tallblackpunk]

JEEEEZUssss dude as always i'm blow away by your skills and at your age at that matter. HOWS ABOUT THORWIN SOME SWEEPING TECHNIQUES THIS WAY HUH? sweeps are kickin my ass :(

[JudeAnaya]

dude you are amazing!!! i think you should try Nocturne.

[tyhadeed]

Great Job, you obviously have a lot of talent, disipline and practice like crazy.

[YeshuaHamashia]

holy crap dude...thats so awesome! idk if you saw my Mea Culpa solo, but you totally showed me up lol. you are definitely very talented...especially for a 15 year old...just...wow...keep up the great work...you're one of those people that motivates me to get better...so yea...keep rockin!

[sirmcalpine]

dude. what the fuck...rad.

[Jalan32]

out of tone but good playing man! keep on!

[soadguitar]

thats pretty awesome man

after vela you should do movement from discord or polaris

[casesherlock]

Hey man, ur insane...I can KINDA hear the song in it but besides the point you are insanly talented and obviously have a love for guitar and skill to back it up...Good luck with Vela, A personal favorite of mine so I expect the best,lol, but you should nail it because its not that hard.
