Cover of "Totla Mad" by Bulb - Fred Baty

Transcribed this today after Misha uploaded his own video of it - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Q026Wby2gqs

Awesome piece, I'm pretty happy with the video apart from one glaring mistake where I just couldn't for the life of me remember what chord to play, haha. It's fairly obvious. Really pleased with the tone, at any rate. I experimented with using a mic as well as the DI from my Pod XT Live and it sounds pretty good at the moment. Remembered to turn the backing track down this time too, haha.

tuning?

[Fredbaty]

@poiuytrewq95 Is it really SO hard to read the video description? If I've tabbed the song out, chances are you'll find the tuning out by looking at the tab. Not meaning to rag on you in particular, I'm just faintly sick of being expected to answer inane questions that you could easily answer yourself.

@Fredbaty Agreed bud nice cover....slightly sharp you should use a needled tuner....Helps alot :) Good luck playin bud I liked this cover

[Fredbaty]

@VeilOfMayaOwnsYou Cheers dude. I do actually have a proper tuner, but the original version of this song (haven't actually checked if it's different on the album version) was tuned about a quarter tone sharp of BbGCFAD for some reason, so I had to do it by ear. With hindsight, that also means that my response to poiuytrewq95 was a tiny bit dickish, but hey, I'm a dick I guess!

nice vid man, totla mad skills! ^^

Have you tabbed this out yourself by ear?

[Fredbaty]

Hey man, thanks for the comment. Yeah, I did indeed tab everything out by ear, although being able to see the positions Misha plays it in on his video certainly helped a fair amount!

ALL in the fingers? :P

[Wadeforshaw]

nice job. man, the next generation of guitar players is gonna be insane. i wish i grew up listening to periphery and sikth, and started playing guitar at age 4 lol.

[cardonaband]

tone please



[EARAEZTE]

nice... good sound quality, dude.

[nathanbeckrules]

That's a great one you got from the POD XT> i really want to find that tone!

[killer14221]

OMG that was so crispy

[xHighPotencyx]

@Fredbaty You could use an audio editing program to drop the pitch of your track down a quarter step.

*Maddd Skillzzzz* ! (:

..You're Welcomee.. :D

[billydiamond24]

Yo, nice cover dude. Now write some killer originals! What are you using for your tone? are you plugged direct into something or is that a mic'd amp?

[moyersshred]

fred is a beast!

[VeilOfMayaOwnsYou]

@Fredbaty Yea man sharps are hard to get.....Flats are easier in my opinion....Less noticable if it's off....cause you can usually just play a bit harder and it sounds fine....But I usually just keep my guitar in C.....Easy and fun....sounds good....I should learn a Periphery song tho and upload it :)....I'm think The fast ones
