The Contortionist - Exoplanet I: Egress (Guitar cover)

NOTE: I WILL BE RE-DOING THIS COVER AS SOON AS I GET A NEW AMP!

Me covering Exoplanet I: Egress by The Contortionist.

I covered this a month ago on my 7 string and it sounded like garbage, so I decided to re-do it on my 6. The cover is correct for the most part, however my guitar cuts out a few times at the start. Don't have a delay pedal for the intro, and yes, I'm aware that the tone kind of sucks.

Learned by ear.

Currently working on Exoplanet II: Void, Vessel, Contact and Advent, as well as some tracks from the new Neuraxis record.

My cover and Anthony's (iizanthonybuck) cover are both in A#.

Contact, Vessel, Axiom, and Exoplanet I, II, and III are all in A# standard, the rest of the album is in drop G#. I asked Robby when I saw them in March.

@SeedsofDeception6 hey man did you get a chance to ask how exactly he got hi tone? specifically how he set up his guitar for that tuning?

[SeedsofDeception6]

@MrPH03N1X666

I know that he uses the D'Addario baritone strings (13-62). He has a few effect pedals that he uses (delays, overdrive, a few others), but he plays through a Dual Rectifier.

[SeedsofDeception6]

@E7uber9000

Thanks man,

I've got a sort of half ass Guitar Pro tab I could e-mail you if you want.

It's not done but it's got most of the riffs from the song in it.
