What is the tuning?

[defuntoba]

@MetaltManiac Dude, gotta love this tune... You did it almost perfect, and the "not perfect" parts can't really be considered anything other than adding your own little twists to the technique... By the way, beautiful Taylor! I got one, the sound of that beauty is just wonderful! I'm trying to learn this song right now, it's nowhere near complete but I guess the worst part is getting the basics down, so I'm pretty happy... Do ya got any tips? God, i wrote too much =o Cheers man, and congrats!

[MetaltManiac]

@defuntoba Thank you for the kind words man. Your right, gotta love the way those guitars sound.

The biggest tips for learning most technical free style/classical acoustic song would be to practice the bass line alone until you get it perfect. Then learn the lead melody alone, and once you have them perfect, play the bass line very slow and begin to add the lead melody. Hope this helps man

[ChamorroBoy08]

Yes you did an awesome job on that cover!!!! That's was truly awesome....Nice Taylor by the way... You selling any guitars??

[MetaltManiac]

@ChamorroBoy08 Thank you man! I am not selling any guitars at the moment.

[ThePerceptionn]

Awesome stuff mate, great playing great sound! keep going with it your a talent. Just some questions. Firstly whats the guitar going through? whats the setup? mics? pre amps? (if any) cables and DAW (digital audio workstation) like pro tools or logic? cheers heaps. and thanks for the vid.

[MetaltManiac]

@ThePerceptionn We have an AKG mic at the sound hole, and a little kad condenser mic at the 12th fret. The pre's were just a 32 channel Beringer board, then into a digi 003, using ProTools 8. The hardware isn't too fancy, but its what we had to work with. Hope this helps man.

[mattitjahu]

You're awsome **

[theguitarchris123]

Definitely one of the best covers of this song on YouTube. What effects pedal are you using here? It sounds cool. Check my version of this song out and let me know what you think (not quite as good as yours, but I'm still perfecting it).

[trainofthought82]

[lammaking333]

Nice gear man, great cover-your harmonics are amazing! You really did this song justice.

[MsRandomhero]

hey metaltmaniac, could you tell me where you got these tabs from? did you actually buy it? and please don´t tell me you learned this song by ear...you would destroy all my hopes of ever being able to learn this beautyful masterpiece of music... cheers

[HellzAngel713]

oh CRAP,uGot it man!!! talent bro,talent. keeeep on!!! 5 stars

[moerocca]

this is the best cover of the song. i love the subtle differences from the original

[papajohns2012]

Dang man, You are an absolutely incredible artist. i love this video and seeing you play live. You have so much talent, keep it up

[autotech1011]

Electric or unplugged, your skill level is more than just a bit above mine, so I don't expect my feedback to carry much weight. Despite being all about the shredding and heavier music, I can appreciate the skill and passion it takes to produce something on this level and you've got it, that's for sure! It's also nice to see the acoustic skills on display, even though honestly...never thought I'd check it out, lol. Glad I did. Thanks for posting such good vid's!

-Peace

[testament214]

Im not gay but you just gave me a boner!!!!

[PeteColorado]

Pete

[Flickpluck]

Your left hand pull-off harmonics are just perfect :)

[rwestone]

[scouserkiller2006]

That is actually pretty amazingly beautiful. HA!

Ever listened to

Max Avery Lichenstien

there's a song called

"Tarnation"

Its got nothing to do with the style you play but its a really nice song, just letting you know.

Keep up the good work fella

[MetaltManiac]

Kool thanks for tuning! The tuning of Ashes in the sea is: Big to little : DAEFCE

Kool, you should totally learn it!

[kejetwitjewel]

fantastic!!!!!! Ur really good!

[DaleStiles]

I'm practically speechless. You have an amazing talent and I'm totally blown away. I pray you never lose the desire to play.

[ShatterBassMan]

nice dude. the video came out great. the coolest part is at 2 minutes 45 seconds.

[knot4u1]

Amazing job man, keep up the good work

[XxGlamisDunerxX]

How long did it take to learn this

[MetaltManiac]

I very long time!

[dimebagman08]

this is amazin

u should put up a vid of u playing scratch

it's alot easier than it sounds

[MetaltManiac]

Really, I never woulda thought it was easy? I love that song!!

[dimebagman08]

easy probably isnt the right word

all of antoines songs are hard to some extent

the thing with scratch is the timing

the notes arent that hard to get down

[MetaltManiac]

Kool! I'll definitely have to work on it! What tuning??

[dimebagman08]

standard tuning apart from the low e being dropped down to c

capo on the 3rd fret over all the strings except the low e

wat tuning is ashes in the sea btw?

id quite like to learn it =)

[MetaltManiac]

Sorry man I just got this! Starting from big to little: D A E F C E

[ajgibson13]

you should make an mp3 that we could download

[MetaltManiac]

Well, this is Antoine Dufour's song, that prolly wouldn't be a good idea! I wish I could

[21rush12]

Wow, FANTASTIC. Keep playing man.

[ajgibson13]

INCREDIBLE

UG FTW!
