I've been getting tons of messages of people saying how they are not looking forward to today, because it's my last weekly cover video for a while. So I knew I had to do something big. I asked my friend Ben if he'd let me record my final cover of the year on his land. It worked out because I feel like the setting fits the song perfectly. Not only is this song one of my most requested, I feel like it fits perfectly as the final song in the year, too.
Before you say it, no this is not fake. My friends and I lugged all my guitars down to the locations, then used an adapter to plug everything in to Ben's truck. The hardest part of all was just the carrying all four guitars to different spots. The actual recording went seamlessly, strangely enough. My acoustic guitars were even able to pick up the sounds from the brook with the noise gate on since the water was really fast and loud that day. Wish I had more time to mix since I spent the weekend at Connecticon, and edited this video on the car rides. However for the most part, I feel it's a fitting close.
Thank you guys so much for sticking around this whole year. It's been hell sometimes, but amazing more often. I cannot believe the following that what I've been doing has rallied up. Also, my 10k sub special will go up today, so look out for that. I can't believe I've made it this far, and it's going to be really weird not uploading a video on Tuesday. However, I need a break so I'm going to cool off for a bit. See you guys around and hope you have had as much fun listening to my covers as I have making them! :D
Special thanks to Ben, Kriispy, and Mikey for helping me film and record this. This would be so much less epic without you guys. :)

do you program your strings with mixcraft or make a midi of them (in the form of sheet music) with a different program and import it in for mixcraft to play? I usually make a midi and import it for my covers and it seems to be much quicker. i tried to make them directly with mixcraft once and it was pretty tedious.

@TheDuckDod I do it all in mixcraft since I can hear how it sounds with the other tracks. It's tedious but I'm used to it now. :)
