Thomas Leeb cover - Quicksilver

Its a tune and a half, and I hope I've done it justice. The intro is added from another recording. The crazy percussion bit in the middle I think could have been better. Try to ignore the guitar faces lol!!!!

haha the mid percussion part was well done! ^_^ haha dont trip!

great job by the way!!!

im currently working on this one & i have a problem, its hard for me to pick the harmonics with my thumb in the beginning & im trying to do it with my index & mid finger, is it possible or should i just go with the thumb?

cuz your vid makes me want to give the thumb another shot haha, very well done!

cheers man!!

yeah it is possible to use the mid and index, i think thats the best way to do it cus it frees up the thumb for playing bass notes when needed, but i struggle that way as well so just use the thumb untill i can to it well enough with themid n index.

very nice cover! what's the tuning? what kind of material did you use for the scratch pad?

[1990haggis]

sorry for the late reply dude. The tuning is CGDCBbD and the scratchplate is made of plastic.

the intro is Antoine Dufour piece, right?

You certainly did this justice. This is one of my favourites off the desert pirate album too. Nice ending XD

[1990haggis]

Hahaha cheers man. the intro I play is the same intro in Quiksilver, i just took that bit from a different recording cus it was better. Think some of antoine dufours songs use that wierd harmonic technique though.?

Wonderful cover! The best guitar players in the world make "guitar faces" LOL! Watch Steve Vai dude, that guy gets downright ugly sometimes but plays like and angel. I really want to learn this song but I want to know if the G is really tuned all the way down to C? It sounds like it just stays at "G".

home made scratch plate for parts of the percussion.

[beeechpleeez]

whats that thing taped... improvised pick guard?

[1990haggis]

Safe as houses mate cheers!
