Epica - Kingdom Of Heaven Guitar Cover, part 1 - LRRG [HD]

Symphonic metal usually isn't all that interesting guitar-wise...except when it is. I started out just learning the solo, and one thing led to another and pretty soon I had 13 minutes of, if you'll excuse a lame pun, epicness.

The death grunt vocal parts of this song are pretty simple, so I did a little bit of experimentation here with recording vocals and guitar at the same time, using a bedside lamp as a mic stand (another exercise in recording using extremely jury rigged equipment). After a bit of mixing, it came out sounding OK, so I went with it.

Figured it out by ear, and there's a lot of parts that are really hard to hear under all the orchestras and choirs, so I'm sorry for parts that aren't right.

In my opinion, part 2 is a bit more interesting, since it has the solo, some acoustic playing, and a special guest appearance by Luke Skywalker, so check it out. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtypuJ48FVQ )

great song! hey... you're amazing playing the guitar... playing the best song by epica!!

Congratulations... tell me... have you ever been in an epica's concert?

[ZombieNixon3000]

@onsalyer No, I have not, but I nearly peed myself when I found out about their November tour with Scar Symmetry. Totally going to that.

[FoaL1991]

For the love of God, and all that is Holy; tab this. Please. I can figure out the patterns and crap if you just put 7 (or 6 if you like, I do have a 7-string) lines with numbers on them. I cannot for the life of me find a tab for this or Unleashed, and I've been dying to play them both, but I'm no good at figuring them out by ear :c

[ZombieNixon3000]

@FoaL1991 Well, I really don't have time to just sit down and bang out 13 mins worth of tabs. Maybe it'll happen eventually, but I can't say when. However, here's the beginning to help you out:

(On the low B, I assume you can figure out the rhythms):

-000000000-0-0-0-000000000-0-0­-0-000000000-0-0-0-00003333222­25555-

I also have tabs for the acoustic part and the solo. Message me your e-mail if you want 'em.

lol i thought this said "kindom hearts guitar cover"

great cover sounds amazing!

[ZombieNixon3000]

@iamowe92 Well, I record one video, then the other and make sure they're both synchronized correctly with the backing track. I do this using iMovie. Then I lay them out against the background using QuickTime 7 Pro and then import the result of that back into iMovie to add titles and such.
