Hey guys, this is my cover of "The Escapist Notion" by The HAARP Machine. Amazing band, just got signed by Sumerian Records not too long ago. You can also find a better and much cleaner play through of this song by the actual guitarist, Al Mu'min, on Sumerian's YouTube channel. I also believe that this is the first cover on YouTube as well! I'm sure that eventually someone will cover this song much cleaner than me but for now I'm pretty satisfied with it.
I figured out mostly everything by ear, I believe there were two riffs that I used tabs for and I found those tabs at the sevenstring guitar forum which can be found at www(dot)sevenstring(dot)org/forum
You can also find The HAARP Machine on facebook at www(dot)facebook(dot)com/thehaarpmachine
I'm am 15 years old and I have been playing guitar for 4 years.

In this video I used:
Guitar: Schecter Hellraiser C-1
-Tuning: Drop C
-Strings: Ernie Ball Beefy Slinkies 11-54
Amp: Line 6 Spider III
Pedals: Digitech Distortion
I tried learning this song today. It's ridiculously tricky. It felt like I was re-learning to play the guitar. Very unorthodox methods of playing in some of the parts, eh?
