It Prevails - Defenses Down // Guitar Cover

Great song by a great band. I just started listening to them a few weeks ago. If you've never heard of them, I really recommend you look into them! Decided to show my face for a change haha, dunno if I'll keep that up or what. I was really tired when I made this, I'd been at this cover for almost 2 hours by the time I filmed this.

I learned this song entirely by ear and watching live videos of the band performing it. I spent a long time trying to make sure I include all the right notes. There is a tab over at ultimate-guitar.com if your looking to learn the song, but keep in mind that it isn't entirely accurate. You can probably compare the tab to my video to spot the differences.

This cover was shot live, hence any mistakes.

My setup

Guitar: ESP LTD EC-1000
Strings: Ernie Ball Strings (Gauges 10-52)
Amp: Line 6 Pod X3 pedal
Tuning: Drop B
Recorded with: Line 6 Pod X3 recording into Reaper
Tab: I learned by ear although I'll do my best to write a tab
Camera: Sony HDR CX-100 Video Camera

@HoRizoN2797 If I had more free time I would ! I'll be back to making covers this summer. I'll see about fitting another It Prevails cover in.

Awesome cover of an awesome song. Love that melodic breakdown, so unique. Excellent covers you have here, much better than most cover artists out there. Keep it up!

@JackMcGuitar thanks for the kind words! I really appreciate it Jack. :)

will you cover "refusing to live under tiranny of others"? :)

[tylerherod]

@crawlingdawn94 great song! I've sorta got my summer covers planned already, but beyond that I'll try my best to get to it. People seem to enjoy this cover so I'll do my best to make another It Prevails cover down the road.
