Megadeth - In My Darkest Hour (cover) (old)

I've put a lot of work into this, and it was very hard to get the timing decent. I recorded everything separately (you can see that my jeans changed color, and that I accidentally had my Machine Head t-shirt when I recorded the solos) and put them all together with the song afterwards, so I hope you enjoy it!

Recorded the 15-19th of March 2009 using a Pentax Optio M30 regular digital camera. Edited using Magix Music Maker 10 Deluxe (originally a music program but works as a video editor too, even better than other video editing software in my opinion!) and streamed as a 640x480 resolution Windows Media Video with 25 fps.

Guitar: Washburn X16 G13 (with EMG 81/85).
Amplifier: Peavey 6505+ and an Ashdown Peacemaker 412A cabinet (rare) with Celestion G12E-50 speakers.

Settings:
Pre: 7,5
Low: 6
Mid: 1
High: 9
Post: 0.9
Resonance: 10
Presence: 10

Strings: D'Addario Prosteels .009-.042
Pick: Dunlop Jazz III

Don't scoop the mids.. Sounds awful and too harsh

[SwedishBerzerker]

@DaredDann3 I didn't know crap about EQ back then. Check my new cover, sounds much better!

[Slipknothing2717361]

[SwedishBerzerker]

[BeyondCocytus]

phenomenal job. one of megadeth's best songs. definitely doesn't get enough attention. your hard work paid off because this is one of the best guitar covers of any song i've seen on youtube. keep rockin

[SwedishBerzerker]

@BeyondCocytus Thanks man! But why do people never see the annotation in the beginning? :S

@jimihendrixnslash I'm playing all parts, that I'm aware of.

[ChoppaHed760]

no one ever shows any emotion in there playing, thats what sets the difference in us from them. its one thing to know all the notes and the timing. but the only way to get the tone you need is to play with the feeling and emotion of the music pumping through your vains.

WOW! Amazing

[MasterExploderXXIV]
