Damien0124's guitar thread.

I have made 1 cover so far, but I can play a variety of songs.
I am planning on making a second cover soon, but I still need to practice the song a little bit more (Papa Roach - Last Resort). I'm also planning to cover some songs of Rise Against and The Offspring and more!

This is my first cover, the link is also in my sig.

Atreyu - Deanne The Arsonist
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laQdPh-kzyA

Tuning: Drop C (C G C F A D)
The quality is a bit low, since I filmed it with my phone.
It's the first cover I made, I know there are a few mistakes and the timing is a bit off since I had to turn down the volume of both my guitar and computer because else, the it would sound horrible. Please rate this video and later I will post more.


Rise Against - Gethsemane
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXJ6nXD7vQ4

Tuning: 1 step down (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb)
Quality is a bit higher, because I recorded it with alot of daylight.
It's a simple cover, yet a very nice song. The only mistake I noticed was the one where I was scratching my back. I listened to my MP3 player when I was playing it, than edited it and added the original song in Windows Movie Maker. This certainly is better than what I did with my previous cover.

 

Nice cover man, not really my type of music, but it was pretty good!
btw, is that an Ibanez?

 

Agreed. You also had Matt's old problem with counting

The idea is not to race the music. If you're going to play with it then make sure it's rhythmically aligned.

 

Thanks
Yes, that's an Ibanez (AJD71T ArtCore)

Okay, but how do I keep that rhythm than? Do I have to practice with a metronome or something?

 

Awesome, I love Ibanez.
Noodles has one

 

A metronome is definitely the way to go

 

Noodles is awesome

Cool, I could use the metronome I have on Guitar Pro, because I don't have a real one

 

http://www.metronomeonline.comit's free and should help you but yeah you did a pretty good job.

 

Good cover dude.

What else can you play?

That actually would work very well, hopefully in the future you can buy a real one but for now its good practice =p

 

Woah, alot of songs, but the problem is, I can't improvise when I want to play something for others, so it looks like I don't know that many songs. I mostly play songs by The Offspring and Rise Against.

I could buy one if I wanted, I have the money for one, but I don't really feel like buying one.

 

Yeah definitely use that metronome

I'd like to hear a few punk covers from you if you're up to it

 

Good cover, Last Resort isn't hard if you can move your fingers fast, GL with it.

 

Just uploaded a new cover, it's a very simple one, but I like the song alot.

Rise Against - Gethsemane
