Andy McKee - Ebon Coast cover

Ebon Coast by Andy McKee. A short cover this time - I actually never learned the last bit of the song so I just ended it there. Might put up a longer cover sometime.

Love the two hand tapping section, by the way.

Okay, I've been playing for a few years and I've always noticed people putting things under the strings behind the nut. What is the purpose of this?

[Rael0505]

@Logantheburninator Sometimes the vibration of the guitar causes the strings to ring past the nut, resulting in a "eeeeee" sound whenever you play the guitar or drum on the guitar. It it especially noticeable when you play loudly and then mute the strings - instead of the sound cutting off, the strings are still ringing past the nut. This just mutes them. Antoine Dufour uses fancy scarves, but here I used the less classy folded up burger king napkin :)

Thanks for watching!

@Logantheburninator haha thank you man! I had Craig D'Andrea as my teacher for a few months this summer which was pretty awesome. I think i've improved a little through him. I want to put up more videos sooon haha

@Rael0505 Really man? That's pretty freakin' sweet. I really dig his tunes as well. And I look forward to the uploads. :D

[Logantheburninator]

@Rael0505 Ah...Makes sense. I guess I never really payed attention to that. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks. Ha ha.

And hey, there's nothing wrong with a BK napkin. xD

@Rael0505 I totally agree with you dude, your cover needs more time to come to maturity.
