Lamb of God - Redneck Guitar Cover HD

Info:
Santa gave me a brand new Legria HFR16 high definition video camera for Christmas, and I thought what better way to show off my new toy than do another Lamb of God cover, seeing as the other ones were so popular. It took me a long time to figure out the optimal settings for importing the HD video into Sony Vegas, and I had to do a lot of rendering, because I was getting weird lag and blurring of the image, but I eventually found the right options. I have figured out a new process for rendering the audio, so the sounds a hell of a lot better too. Just recently I also changed the strings on my guitar, as well as cleaned up the fretboard and applied some lemon oil, so the Ibanez is in good shape at the moment. Finally, I upgraded my version of Sony Vegas from 8 to 9, not that it makes much difference. Enjoy :)

Techniques/Tips:
- Its very easy to play this song sloppy, so make sure your really paying attention to timing and articulating every note.
- The harmonic bend is supposed to be played on the 10th fret of the lower D string (the way Mark Mortan plays it). This harmonic wasnt clear on my guitar, so pinch harmonic-ed the 3rd fret of the A string to recreate the same sound.
- In the breakdown, pick every note, dont try to do hammer ons because it will make you lose your timing.
- In the quick riff played in the intro and the chorus, its a good idea to try and stretch your second finger over 2 frets. The reasoning behind this is that it allows your fourth finger to hit the 7th fret, so a slide isn't necessary. Its how Mark Mortan plays it.
