  • I gave it a go. The audio is kinda all over the place and my playing could be better but what the hell. Enjoy.
    I did it with a lot of help from Boro and Vena. Their channel here: / @borovena4212

      Well, probably yes. My first big concert was their tour of the third album so it definitely has a speciál place in my heart.

      check out the version on Songsterr, it is good and I found it pretty easy to learn up to now(first day today->60% speed) even though I only play the guitar for 1.5 years

    Imo somes of those riffs should be played with the bridge pickup for more clarity. Very nice cover tho! :) Take a look at my recents cover
