Children Of Bodom - Kissing The Shadows | GUITAR COVER

RIP Alexi Laiho
Apparently I filmed this cover over two years ago, and then promptly lost it in the deluge of other unfinished videos and projects. Definitely got into a Children Of Bodom kick after the untimely death of Laiho, someone I considered the epitome of talent and skill on the guitar, and someone I looked up to for almost all of my musical journey.
I'm still not over it. But the least I can do is pay tribute by playing my favourite song in their catalogue, Kissing The Shadows, off their album Follow The Reaper. If you haven't heard it (which, what the hell, why the fuck haven't you listened to it yet?) you can check out the full album below.

You sir can take a victory lap on the highway of guitar gods.

[@valinhorn42]

Very nicely played! I appreciate the mixing on this, it's much easier to tell the two guitar voices apart. I'll use this to learn the song myself :)
Oh, and I like how you played it standing up, and with emotion. That's not something you see from most UA-cam guitarists. Great job!

[@TonyTombstone]

Hell yeah! love this cover! RIP. Alexi!

BC RICH NJ Beast 앉아서 치면 갈비뼈와 허벅지가 찢엊는 고통이 오죠

[@TheStrode]

I can confirm, The Beast has bitten people before. It's gotten me a few times as well, all those sharp edges can be hard to play around. But it's so awesome, I have to forgive the odd cut and bruise.

[@1stvn1]

little out of tune

[@jamespeace2984]

Sloppy. Off time. Missed notes... Just lame man
...
... Is how I would play it. If even that
You sir nailed it. Rock on. Keep it metal.
