A Song For The Dead - QOTSA guitar cover
Wasn't a proper one of these on youtube, so I thought i would record it.
It sounds like people are washing dishes in the background, because they are (use the effing dishwasher) and I told myself one take was all I was gonna do. Some parts a little sketchy but all in all, good enough for people see where the right notes are played. Damn my head and its shadow too.
Enjoy

  • @Whisp360 Hey dude, Awesome cover.. If I may ask, How did you cope with C Standard tuning? Did you just get a fresh set of thicker gauge strings and get a special bridge set up to deal with the intonation? Or did you not do jack shit other than drop it 4 frets and deal with the slack?

  • @GuitarJonnie Hey man, I use Ernie Balls Beefy Slinky strings. They're 54-11. I also raise my bridge. Gives it a very nice acoustic sound and a lot of room to strum. Makes it pretty hard to tap. But that's not my thing anyway.

  • @Whisp360 Yeah, tapping isn't my thing either.. although I have a long way to go, I've only played for 2 years :) .. Thanks alot for your reply, I was using 54-11's on one of my guitasr anyway.. But I still had intonation problems.. My only other alternative was to use a Baritone guitar.. But my hands arn't exactly big enough and they're not so common. (A guitar with a 27 inch scaling, built for really low tunings) But yeah, awesome. And is that axe Epiphone yeah?

  • @GuitarJonnie Ahh I see. It's an epiphone yeah. Looking back on it some of the fills/start of solo could have been done better. When I buy some new strings I might re do it and eliminate background noise, and do it closer to the camera.

  • @Whisp360 Yeah, alright.. Nice one man. I'm gonna start learning it soon, I have the tablature book.. but I havn't tackled this song yet. I've got so many QOTSA covers I need to find time to upload, My covers so far are just half-baked and not that great. (:

  • Awesome!

    This song is just amazing! :D
