I had the morning off work so I thought i'd give this a quick go. It's only the first 2 minutes because I'm incredibly lazy (getting this far was hard enough) It's not perfect and my guitar didn't like open c tuning but it's reasonable. No keys or bass My ambition is to one day actually finish a song!

Do you want your cover to be posted on the HDR site ? We plan to open a fan covers section soon ... let me know

I think I'd better finish it first to be honest! Give me a year or so

[Blazingmonga]

Awesome work Olik! I would love to hear the whole song done in this quality.

Keep at it!

[EphelDuath666]

dude, that was good indeed! I wanna hear the whole thing too when it's done

Thanks! I've replaced the other version and redone the guitars a bit. Around 4 and a half minutes is done. Should hopefully finish the rest tonight.

That's pretty cool. You play it well! It's just the high strings that are a little out, I'm looking forward to hearing the new version.

Incidentaly, I was listening to AE for the first time in a year or so and it was up to Deadhead when I found your post, heh... Great song, one of Devin's very best.

Okie dokie, just finished the guitars and drums! Not perfect (the stretch from 3 to 8 frets not clean at all) Anyone want a go at the vocals?

Just redone a section and changed the guitar tone. I'm finished this time I swear!

Cool, I like the sound. I'm still trying to get drum sounds like that, but for me it's still midi shit.

So you really have to stretch from 3 to 8 to play this part ? Meeeh...
What if I shrink my guitar ? Will the sound be the same ? j/k
Like in that guitar video from Paul Gilbert, I think he streches from 4 to 10 or maybe 11...
And if you move the 8 to the upper string ?
E--
C-3
G--
C-3
G--
C-3

and alternate with
E--
C-2
G--
C-3
G--
C-3
it's not exactly the same sound...

And how do you play the intro ?
From the 12th fret ? The 7th ? With the strings open ?

And congrats, good job !^^

Thanks, the drums are really basic, I just made them in leaf drum and slotted them all together. I ripped the snare sound somewhere off Neurosis-Through Silver In Blood and the kick drum is a DFH sample I think.

The guitars are just lined in with my amp recorded 4 times, Amplitube used on one channel.

The intro starts off on the twelve fret on the low C. There's a powertab available on the Powertab website thats useful.

BTW 3 to 8 is not that bad but you have to barre the 3rd fret as well. Killed my hands

Is this a massive download or has my connection gone crazy, I really want to hear this

I've upped a smaller 96kbps mp3 for those with slower connections!

Is that Portsmouth UK or US?

It was obviously my connection at work...perhaps they've started limiting my bandwidth, haha

Great job

Thanks! I'm also in Portsmouth UK, studying at the university. Not there at the moment but kind of miss it.
