  • Hey, check it out, I got a new guitar lol
    I'm back with more Theocracy! This time I'm covering the masterpiece known as "I Am" off of their album "As The World Bleeds" (The greatest album of all time fyi)
    This is probably the hardest song that I know how to play (It's surely the most technical solo I know) so it's a little sloppy in some places. Please understand.

    Wanted to ask if you've heard Blind Guardian's "And Then There Was Silence" and whether you would do a guitar cover for it, because I've searched everywhere for one, but no good results and I also found a new band I'll be looking into! (Theocracy, that is. xD)
    AND I LOVE THE NEW GUITAR, TOO!!!

    flawless cover. where did you learn the song? I can't find tabs or anything anywhere.

    • @KyleScottMusic
      @KyleScottMusic  Рік тому

      Thank you! There was a video that Matt had uploaded playing all of the rhythm parts that I referenced ( ua-cam.com/video/kzyF3WYKFGg/v-deo.html ). The first solo I had to learn by ear and then the second solo I believe I did find tabs for somewhere, although I didn't play it exact to the tabs (the tapping part was wrong if I remember correctly. The sweeping was a little different than how I played it as well)

  • @mithecai
    @mithecai 6 років тому +1

    Dude, this is really cool. I've watched it several times. I've gotta ask though... How many hours did you have to practice to get this down? I get the feeling it's a *lot*. (Not a knock on you at all, this is a very difficult song.)

    • @KyleScottMusic
      @KyleScottMusic  6 років тому

      Thanks! While practicing I'd usually play the solo over and over again for about 30 minutes straight, then play through the whole song 5 or 6 times. I did this every single day for like three months before I finally covered it. I'm not sure how many hours I spent practicing exactly, but yeah, it was definitely a lot lol

    • @mithecai
      @mithecai 6 років тому +1

      30m - Solo, for 3 months (90 days) = 45 hours
      Whole song every day 5-6 times, 1 hour a day = 90 hours
      So... assuming you never practiced *more* than 5-6 times (Which I'm going to hypothetically say you probably did a few times?) you spent at least 135 hours learning this song.
      DANG. That's intense. But tbh this may be my favorite guitar cover I've ever seen.

    • @KyleScottMusic
      @KyleScottMusic  6 років тому +2

      +Mithecai Geez, I was too lazy to do the math but that is a lot more time than I thought it would be haha
      Yeah I definitely practiced more than 5-6 times on some days, and other days I practiced less. I was more trying to guess the average. I should also mention that I already knew how to play the whole song when I began practicing for the cover, so counting the time I actually spent learning the song would make that number *much* higher lol
      I didn't learn it all at once though. I started with just the intro, then a few weeks later I learned the chorus, then came back and learned the verse a few months after that, and so on. I'd say overall from the time I started learning to the time I finished was probably a span of about two years. The solo I learned last, and right after I finished learning it I immediately began practicing everything all together for the cover

    • @KyleScottMusic
      @KyleScottMusic  7 років тому +1

      While I would like to have a huge collection of guitars someday, that's not the only reason I bought it. The biggest reason I bought it was because It has a Floyd Rose locking tremolo (something I've wanted for a while now) But it's also just an overall higher quality instrument than the other two that I own.

    • @cutlass206

      I'm probably not the best person to ask as I haven't played many guitars outside of the ones that I own.
      I've never played a Jackson but I know that they're pretty popular and, from what I hear, they make quality instruments. It'll probably be an upgrade compared to the Squier, at least.

      @KyleScottMusic  6 років тому

      Some of it. Matt Smith (Theocracy's singer) has a couple videos showing how to play most of the rhythm riffs, so that's where I learned those. I learned all of the cleans during the verse by ear, as well the first solo at 3:20 and any riffs/chord progressions that Matt didn't teach. I had originally tried to learn the main solo from a tab, but the tab was a bit inaccurate (Specifically the sweeping and tapping from 7:24 to 7:32. So I learned that by ear). I used the tab to learn everything from 7:32 to 7:52 and then I learned the rest of the solo by ear.
