The Protomen - The Stand (Man or Machine) - Guitar Cover

Well... My brother introduced me to The Protomen about half a year ago - because I loved the Megaman game series - first showing me this song. I was instantly hooked. (Thanks, Bro!) I really like this song. If you noticed, I actually was a little out of tune in the intro, so I had to quickly tune, even though EVERYTHING was out of tune the whole time. This was my second year of playing Guitar, so don't judge by this. I've been playing 5 years. I did about 8 takes on this, 7 of which I was either knocked out of tune, coughed, sneezed, or ran out of the room knocking over the camera (I was singing with my band earlier today and I think I may have popped a vain in my head, cause it's all beaty, red, swelling and hurts like crazy!) to wash off my face. OUCH!!!!! I still feel the throbbing. Well... Here it is... My strings aren't really meant to go that low, but I tuned it anyway! OH! This is probably the first time you've seen my Stratocaster. Yeah, it sucks, doesn't it, XD. And so did I on my second year of playing. I'm much better now (mainly cause I can actually tune, and my guitars don't go out of tune).

May I suggest you recording this, since you are better now? I'd love to hear how you've grown.

@blues03 Very possibly. I haven't done a video in over a year and a half. This is embarrassing as Hell compared to what I can do now (not to sound like a self-obsessed, cocky asshole). Not to mention I can tune now, hahahahahaha. I may also do other Protomen songs. I'm thinking The Will Of One, too. Light Up The Night, perhaps. Not to mention I have much better equipment now.

@CriticsConfession Will of one is also one of my favorites, due to a certain line, and some lines after. I await what you do or do not decide to to :)

[CriticsConfession]

@blues03 If by "line" you mean "lyric" than I would assume you mean the part in the bridge (the part where it's all that really sick arpeggiated synth and then vocals and a bit of guitar), than I completely agree. Especially due to the incredibly high note he hits. :D

Awesome cover dude! You're going places! By the way I love the shirt...

[masterchiefhalo1171]

God tom you are amazing at this.

@CriticsConfession Do this please, like I can't even stress how badass that would be.

[blues03]

@CriticsConfession Yeah, and no need to reply to this one. I don't want to spam your video. I know you'll read it though, you respond quickly. Thanks.

@SilentNightBand I meant to say Drop C, hahaha. C Standard is pushin' it, haha. I've tabbed before, and two things...A. It's tough. B. Sometimes they suck. C. I've found them leaked onto the internet with other people taking credit for it. Sorry. Try learning by ear. I haven't used a tab in 3 years now. That's how you develop skill. Learn by ear.

@SilentNightBand Tuned*

[SilentNightBand]

@CriticsConfession Oh, sweet! I keep one guitar runed drop C, so...close, right? I use the Not Even Slinkys, myself.

Also, could I convince you to do a tab? Tabs for this thing are damn near impossible to find.

[CriticsConfession]

@SilentNightBand C Standard. I was using crappy super slinky's for this. I changed the gauge recently to beefy slinky.
