Paul Gilbert - "Screamin' Blues O'Mania" (REH Video ending credits play along)
Yet another Gilbertian piece of genius, straight from the ending of "Intense Rock II" REH video. You can say I like Paul's playing quite a bit.
As a late teenager I remember being blown away by this little tune from the ending credits, and here I am, more than 20 years later, trying to play over that same clip in one take over Paul's lines, without editing or punching-in. I must be mental, but despite all the little imperfections and nuances... hey, close enough!!!
Chek out Paul Gilbert's instructional videos, as those are a wonderful source of shred guitar knowledge. I'd say the "Intense Rock" series are a complete must.
Tried my best... Hope you like it!!

Metal Against Coronavirus - "Point Nemo" (Guitar Playthrough)
Переглядів 2296 місяців тому
FREE TAB, link below!! During the COVID pandemic I was involved in a really nice project called Metal Against Coronavirus, which reunited Metal musicians all around the world to create some art and hopefully raise some funds destined to cope with all the bad stuff that was happening during 2020. I teamed up with a bunch of wholesome dudes from many different countries and released a little tune...
Paul Gilbert - "Return To Castle Dragon" (Guitar cover)
Переглядів 2039 місяців тому
You know I love Paul's playing, so I couldn't resist to give this one a try. In a bit of a rush, as I was recording the same day I had to leave for Freak Guitar Camp 2023, I managed to pull three complete takes of the full song. Two of them proved to be surprisingly consistent and I could pan them left and right without making a complete mess... except for the fast picking marathon in the solo,...
Morbid Angel - "God Of Emptiness" (FRETLESS Guitar Cover)
Переглядів 1,1 тис.2 роки тому
One of the tunes that best incarnate Morbid Angel's sick and twisted sound. I thought a fretless version could give it an even sicker twist. Lots of "rough edges" in the intonation of the notes, the mix and a bit of awkward dragging time feel between both guitars, but I think it fits the vibe perfectly. Top guitar (view from headstock) is in the left channel, and the one from the front is what ...
Exodus - "As It Was, As It Soon Shall Be" (Guitar Cover)
Переглядів 2702 роки тому
A mid-paced angry track from what I think is an underestimated album from the almighty Exodus. Just RHYTHM guitar playing, because there's nothing like beating the strings as if there's no tomorrow. Soloing can wait... A tiny little sample of "Scary Gary" Holt, the evil riff master himself. Enjoy!

It's not my favourite video format, but as I've had a fair amount of positive feedback over some other social media I thought somebody could enjoy this shorter type of clips instead letting this channel "starve...

Yet another strange wonderful tune from the Guru, Mattias 'IA' Eklundh, recorded and edited just for fun in a couple of hours, my record time for this kind of stuff. Just two continuous guitar takes, with all their little imperfections, stereo panned left and right with minimal edition and a bit of EQ. You can hear the video take panned in right channel.

Racer X - King of the monsters (Guitar cover)

Yet another crash course in shred by the awesome Paul Gilbert and his former band, Racer X. It's not an easy task playing over Pablo's crazy lines in just one take and not making a complete mess, but I tried my best. I hope you like this kind of "old school shred" vibe!

Mattias 'IA' Eklundh - "Rabbit Hole Shuffle" (Guitar cover)
Переглядів 7385 років тому
Another bizarre tune from IA, the one and only Guru. Just one 8 minute guitar take over the stripped backing track, including 3 improvisations, raw and unedited, with all its little noises and goofy notes trying to sound somewhat human playing such an alien tune. First track I record with my not so new setup. Guitar signal is presented "as is", the exact way it hits my audio interface, even wit...

Переглядів 9096 років тому
Last year I had a great masterclass with Psycroptic's guitar player, Joe Haley (Nice dude, monster player!), so covering this tune was kind of mandatory for me. No solos this time, but a deceptively difficult song to play because of the frantic riffing. You'll hear two takes panned L&R, continuous and unedited, no punch-ins. Video corresponds to the track in the Left channel. You can check Psyc...
Mattias 'IA' Eklundh - "Off" (From Freak Guitar Camp 2016 - Guitar cover)

This is a _huge single 20 minute raw unedited take_ of this weird song from Freak Guitar Camp 2016, a complete "tour de force" in rhythmic displacement, odd groupings, tapping, a bit of improvisation and specially... endurance. I felt like I was running the equivalent of a marathon in modern electric guitar, so despite all the sloppy playing I feel really proud for taking such a challenge and s...

Cacophony - The Ninja (Guitar cover)
Переглядів 54 тис.7 років тому
A song from a staple band of what ended up being called "shred guitar", composed by two of my biggest influences in guitar playing: Jason Becker and Marty Friedman. Arrangement for one guitar only. The same line is played twice in continuous, one take recordings (L & R), and one of those tracks is what is shown on the video. There are some minor flaws, but it's not easy keeping everything 100% ...

      Definitely one of my personal favourites from Alex, too... Had to rearrange some notes on my own from the transcriptions I have ever seen (not tapping the first descending run made a difference!!) and not 100% perfect, but I think it was a take good enough to keep. Thanks for your comment!!

    on the chorus are you sliding from 1 to 3 or 1 to 4 "fret" (on the 7 fat A# string)? Thanks

    • @nicohdeth
      @nicohdeth Рік тому

      Good question!! I think it was "somewhere in the middle", on purpose... Somehow the original tune called for that inside my brain, as if they were playing with thin strings and pressing too hard and messing the intonation. I guess you could achieve that sliding to the 3rd fret and then doing a little 1/4 step bend. Just "yank" the string a bit downwards. Or just play the 3rd fret if that sounds better to you, of course.

    • @nicohdeth
      @nicohdeth Рік тому

      I'm glad you liked it... I would advice you to try a fretless instrument before attempting any major "surgery" in an existing one. There are some major issues to be dealt with, apart from intonation, I'd say mainly lack of sustain. Thank you for your comment!!
