• A guitar cover I made

[URL]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuIdEJuBM1E[/URL] I covered Faith Or Forgiveness by The Ghost Inside. Just discovered this band last week, they have some great tunes. They aren't very well known, so if you've never heard of them, they sound a lot like Parkway Drive..very hardcore-influenced. I really recommend them if you like this style of music, I'm so happy I discovered them. Also using a new tone, so love to hear some feedback on how it sounds. Any feedback is welcome, so yeah, knock yourself out if you hate the music and are determined to flame me :\
The screaming isn't very good at all although I like the guitar, nicely done. The screaming actually makes the song sound kinda dumb.
The melodic attributes of the song are quite good, just...heavy metal screaming like that just don't mix with it.
Yeah I understand completely. It's hard to listen to a band like this if you aren't used to the screaming. The melodic attributes make this band stand out from the standard hardcore/metalcore band though, at least for me. Not to mention, the lyrics are really great (I know they are hard to make out).
pretty much all heavy metal sucks, do not confuse heavy metal with music
I don't think you can play... 1.) Last time i checked you had to push down on the frets to make diff tones 2.) If you are playing lower the music volume, or turn it off 3.) Metal is not music
Too heavy for me, but good playing.

If you're going to do a shitty cover, at least do it of a good song. Or at least a well-known song.

As long as everyone else likes it, right? Please explain why it was a shitty cover, I'd love to here what you have to say. [QUOTE=Exo |POW|;22737874]I don't think you can play... 1.)

[QUOTE=NOR_92;22738189]:lol: Oh btw, cover something by The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza, please![/QUOTE] Never heard of them, but looking on youtube..they seem like a band I could see myself liking. I'll check them out.. and we'll see what happens =)
[QUOTE=LuckyLuke;22736663]The melodic attributes of the song are quite good, just...heavy metal screaming like that just don't mix with it.[/QUOTE] They're melodic hardcore. It's just part of the style. And it's very good, well done :buddy:

The only good part was the guitar
If you guys don't like the music, feel free to suggest something else for me to cover

A person likes a different genre of music than me! Lets all hate him for it :downs: [QUOTE=Exo |POW|;22737874]I don't think you can play... 3.) Metal is not music[/QUOTE] Haha, oh wow do you even know the definition of Music? [quote=Merriam Webster Dictionary] a : the science or art of ordering tones or sounds in succession, in combination, and in temporal relationships to produce a composition having unity and continuity b : vocal, instrumental, or mechanical sounds having rhythm, melody, or harmony[/quote] You could bang pots and pans in a rhythmic order with a harmony and it'd still be considered Music. Please research before you post next time. "Metal" in terms of Musical Theory is still Music. Please don't be an ignorant fool and think that just because a band contains vocals that you are not accustomed to or guitar work makes them not musical. As for the OPs video, I think you did a good job and please don't listen to these idiots who obviously don't know what they are talking about and can't get over the fact that someone is playing a genre of MUSIC that they don't like.
What's with the haters? I thought it was pretty good, didn't mind the 'screaming' at all (although I do listen to a bit of heavy stuff, so I'm used to it)! Keep it up OP! Also, awesome guitar, I love the colour.
I thought it was good. Don't play guitar myself, but I think you got it right.

One-sided pick playing sucks. You shake your hand like an idiot.
[QUOTE=supreme7;22750237]One-sided pick playing sucks. You shake your hand like an idiot.[/QUOTE] Um... He's alternative picking, I don't know what you're talking about. Also OP you hold the pick a little funky.
[QUOTE=supreme7;22750237]One-sided pick playing sucks. You shake your hand like an idiot.[/QUOTE] The hell is one sided picking? Haha I recognize I hold my pick a bit funny. I usually bridge my hand when I play (like I do at the alternate picking parts), but I can't do it while I downpick..and most of this song is downpicking. But it doesn't really matter if it gets the job done. At least I don't use 3 fingers to hold the pick anymore. And strumming like that doesn't make me look like an idiot, it's hard to strum when you use a thick pick. The motion of my hand is from playing live, where I would use my whole arm to strum.
Just wondering, would any of you guys be interested in seeing some Parkway Drive covers from their new album? The album leaked two days ago and I'm really tempted to start tabbing songs from it and making covers.
I play guitar too ,and I gotta say that was pretty good. Nice song choice.
[QUOTE=lolmart;22759952]I play guitar too ,and I gotta say that was pretty good. Nice song choice.[/QUOTE] thank you =)
Yeah man, cover some Parkway!
[QUOTE=NOR_92;22769650]Yeah man, cover some Parkway![/QUOTE] I'm thinking about doing Smoke 'em if you got 'em to warm up, and then going straight to the new album. I forgot how tough their songs can be to play =(
reminds me of Farewell to Freeway good cover, not that hard to play though
