Great cover man! Do you have a tab for Advent? I really wanna learn that one

[AnthonyBuck860]

@mario1136 Thank you, but no I don't. I learned it by ear a while ago, but I think I learned a couple parts wrong.

[mario1136]

@AnthonyBuck860 Aw man D: I have trouble mainly with the sweeping part. But my guitar teacher is getting me started on how to sweep.

[AnthonyBuck860]

@mario1136 Hmm, I found those sweeps to be on the easier side. But if you're not familiar with how to sweep, jumping into a 5 string sweep isn't the easiest. But then again it's a good scale to learn a 5 string sweep on. I found the tapping part even harder than the sweeps. So you've got yourself a challenge haha

[mario1136]

@AnthonyBuck860 Aw man. It's almost like they're trying to make their song's as hard as possible. But hey, any contortionist song is perfect for exercising your guitar skills. I can do a bit of 3 and 4 string sweeping, but not quite ready for 5 yet lol. See, I've only been playing for 3 1/2 years

[AnthonyBuck860]

@mario1136 I don't think it's that they're trying to be most technical, a lot of bands can outdo with technical skill (Necrophagist, Brain Drill, any tech death band haha). But you're right, jamming with TC is good for your playing in general. I feel it helps with playing weird rhythms with confidence. But just keep on sweeping, I've been playing for a little over 5, and I'm not the best, but I can jam them!

[mario1136]

@AnthonyBuck860 Alright man! Thanks for your advice :D Yeah, contortioinst is NOT one of those bands for beginners hahaha

[AnthonyBuck860]

@mario1136 Thank you, and no I don't. I figured it out by ear a while ago, but I feel like some parts I learned wrong.

@AnthonyBuck860 alright man, I'm working on my tab now... theres no way I'm gonna get the rhythms correct... but all the notes should be there. Let me know when your done!

[AnthonyBuck860]

@retrowheels I'm down for it! I've already started tabbing out, figured a bunch of people would like to know how to play it.
