Augury - Skyless (Cover)

I'm finally able to cover this amazing song after all these years, even if it is a bit rough around the edges. Feels good man. The tapping melody at the start is just beautiful; it's probably my favourite non-wanky use of the technique.

Thanks to Patrick, Mathieu, Forest and the drummer whose name I can never remember (I'm usually pretty good with musicians ;_;) for the amazing music.

Trivia: I used the 2006 Promo/Demo version of the track because I like the mix better. This of course means that there are probably differences between what I'm playing and the one on the LP proper, but I reckon it's close enough.

Agile guitar, right? I know you get asked that alot probably haha But I'm looking into buying one. Recommended?

@DeathMetalTim32 Recommended if you want something half way between a Schecter and an Ibanez, and that you won't be pissed about modifying. My list of things to do to this guitar are: add a "guthrie button" (bridge pickup -> max vol into output), swap the 3 position LP-style switch for a Strat-style switch, swap the EMGs for something else (got some dimarzios from years ago but they won't fit width-wise). It's great stock, but after about a year of playing it you start to want a little bit more.

[DeathMetalTim32]

@Septicaemia loool, night owl as well? I'm trying to cut that shit out, you know, become a regular jackoff. I'll need your e-mail so I can send the files (I assume you have guitar pro 5.2 or higher). Message me that shit my friend

[Septicaemia]

@opeth223 Sounds good! It's about 4:10am here so I'll check back after I've had a few hours unconsciousness. Cheers.

@Septicaemia Alright, well i could arrange you to send the bass tabs, and I'll ask my friend for the incomplete guitar tabs as well (most of the time pat sends unfinished tabs). It'll give you a chance of correcting some parts, I'm pretty sure you're over complicating some parts :P (not a bad thing). I can't do it right now cuz there's something wrong with my wrist. I record direct cuz I don't have a good mic, I'll try to make it sound good. Nice assimilation of loomis by the way

@opeth223 Oh, I meant the audio of my guitar from this video. If you record a bass cover of it I can just cut the two together rather than having to re-record another video of me playing it. (I guess I could still do that, I used the demo version of the track after all.) I tried to correct my fretting positions by watching live videos, but I couldn't really see what Mathieu was doing in any of them (most of what I played is probably his part). Whatever I couldn't hear or couldn't see, I made up.
