Karnivool - Themata

This is a fairly rough cover. I'm hoping to re-post it when I perfect it, because this is an attempt in standard (EADGBE) tuning. As a result, a few things don't work out so well; the riff at 0:14 can't be pedalled with the open 4th string because it now starts on the 9th fret instead of the 12th, and some parts of the main riff (0:25) should really be swept to be played effectively, as a few of the notes all run up the same fret. Also a delay pedal would have been nice for this, as it gets heavy use in the actual song. I'm switching between Drew and Hoss's guitar parts too. Still, I don't think it's too bad...so enjoy :)

Lol that first part is hammer on's dude.

Sorry but thats how it is ment to be played but you did a fucking rad job of it :D

[dragon2712]

Yeah man I know :) but because I wasn't in Karnivool tuning, if I hammer on and pull off it sounds really strange, because the open string isn't the correct tuning.

[TheWildWinds]

Oh true

Do you think you'll do another one with the right tuning?

[dragon2712]

I have several recorded haha. I'm just too damn picky and won't upload them until I feel I get them just right :D

[TheWildWinds]

Lol i really must do some myself when i get myself an electric.

I love karnivool and they have been such a huge inspiriation to me and my band :P

[dragon2712]

It's great to hear :D They're such an awesome unique band, and for sure when I go down the songwriting path they'll play probably the biggest role.
