Kalmah-One of Fail (guitar cover)

Here is my attempt at playing "One of Fail" by my favorite band in the world, Kalmah, from my favorite album of theirs, 12 Gauge. You should go out and buy it!

This is one of the more challenging songs I have attempted to cover. It's not a super hard song but I'm not a very clean player! I guessed on some parts because I'm still not very good at figuring things out by ear. This is noticeable especially in the solo. I used the 2 live videos on here as a guide and I did my best to remember how Antti played it when I saw them in Canada. Despite all that, I'm sure some parts are wrong and in the end this cover might be "one of fail". My guitar went a bit out of tune during the process so I'm sorry about that. All that said, this is a very fun song.

I don't know why the video looks a bit "glitchy" or why the quality looks like crap. It might be the software I'm using. If you have any suggestions for good video editing software, please let me know!

I didn't use any tabs, nor did I make any. If you want to learn this song, use this video as a guide.
Please rate and comment! (constructive criticism is always welcome as well)

Sick Cover dude! I'm hoping for a Kalmah/Wintersun North American Tour someday! Well at least over here in cali lol

[melodicmetal83]

@Knives4Breakfast Thanks, man! I would kill to see a tour like that! Sadly, I don't think Kalmah will come until some promoter has balls to book them. Since they don't make music for a living, they only play shows/tours if they get offers. Whomever books that Finnish Metal Tour should have a part 3 and have Kalmah on it!

@melodicmetal83 Awesome! That's exactly how I feel about Kalmah as well. There is simply nothing out there that compares to them.

[melodicmetal83]

@valkiris Fuck yeah! I FUCKING LOVE KALMAH! They have been my favorite band for about 7 years. The last time they went to Canada, I was too young to go and see them. This time, I was old enough and saved as much money as I could so I was on my way. Since they will probably never visit the US (until I get rich and book them ;) I can't wait for them to go back to Canada!

[valkiris]

@melodicmetal83 Holy crap!! Now that's dedication! :P

[melodicmetal83]

@valkiris Maybe you did see me. I was front row the whole time. I went to the Hamilton show the day after ;)

Yeah, I'm in a band. That would still be cool, though! The only problem is that I live in California haha I flew to Canada just to see Kalmah! \m/

[valkiris]

@melodicmetal83 I might've seen ya there, now that you mentioned it. Best show ever :)

BTW, do you play in a band? If not, maybe we can form a Kalmah tribute band or something lol. Would be sweet!

[melodicmetal83]

@valkiris Thanks, man! Btw, looks like we were both at the Toronto show last year ;)

Cheers!
