Wow I'm a moron. I read the tab for this and thought, "How the fck am I supposed to stretch my fingers from the 2nd fret to the 8th?" Never occurred to me that it's a tap. 😅
Amazing cover Steve. This is one of those songs I love so much I deny myself the temptation to learn it because I never want to tire of it. So I watch this video to enjoy the experience vicariously. lolol
Excellent cover, Steve! Aside from the technique being accurate in all of your Gojira covers, the tone and sound has always been spot on. What amp/pedals, or plugins, do you use to produce to sound like them good ole French boys?
On the guitars for this one I used the TSE 808, NC-8505, NadIR loader with True North Audio impulses. Then there's some other plugins like a multipressor, SSL channel strip, JST side widener and Logic's stocked reverb and delay plugins. The bass I'm running through BIAS with a preset called 6505 "Plus" by K9 Customs and then also the same run through the Ignite Amp Emissary for some mid/high crunch.
I need some tips, exactly which fingers do you use for the intro tapping part? I tried to slow down the speed but it's hard to see exactly which fingers you use, great and awesome cover!
Since nobody is answering you. I believe he is using his middle finger. Using the middle finger has its pros, it is often stronger and also you can hold the pick between your thumb and index finger while you are tapping, makes the transition to the picking easy and fast. The index finger is not a bad choice, I define it easier to control the tapping that way, but then you have to practice tucking the pick with your thumb. Try out both, see what you feel better. You got this bb
I missed this one, my bad! Yes that's right. I'm using my middle finger for tapping and then index and thumb for the pick. Means I can switch back and forth between picking and tapping reasonably smoothly. I know some do the opposite and hold the pick with middle and thumb then tap with index too though and it works for them
I've been able to play this all the way through this entire month, but I'm still having trouble getting that clarity (that you get) with the RIGHT hand tapping. Anyone know ways to improve right hand tapping? Could you direct me to, perhaps, specific youtube tutorials that could help?
I'd say setting the feedback so you get 2 or 3 repeats and the mix so the first repeat is about is about half the volume of the initial note. Timings of repeats is kind of down to the speed of the song. 1/4 note repeat or 1/8 note repeats are common but the best thing to do is play around and see what you like really! If the delay has a tap tempo you can set the delay speed with that and experiment
To get the notes to ring out I tap and slightly flick the string towards the ground to getting it vibrating more. Don't push it too much as you'll get a wonky tapped note. To stop the other strings ringing I use the palm of the picking hand and the edges of my fingers on the fretting hand to mute them. I'd check out some of Guthrie Govan's videos - he doesn't do the flick and just slams down hard as he doesn't like the slightly bendy sound you get from flicking. Also Dr Viossy has recently put out a couple of videos about his approach to learning some advance tapping lines.
@@ShadowMantraSteve Nice one, appreciate the help. Love playing along with the track but hate when I can't keep up with the tapping lol. Any plans for a cover of Into the Storm?
Yesssss bro-seph 🖖 I know I'm late af to video and I suck but....I'll get it 🤣🤣🤣 it's a bit harder on a seven string lol damn too string messes me up lol!!!
Bro i am struggling in the tapping section because mi fingers do to much noise when sliding on the strings, any tip for me? Thank you for all your videos you are sick
If you can slightly lift your finger up on the fretting hand when moving up and down the neck it will help stop some of the noise. You want to lift it just enough so it's not touching the strings ideally.
I would use a mix of the index and middle finger on the fretting hand to lightly cover and mute the strings I don't want ringing out while pressing down on either the 5th or 6th string with the tip of the finger.
The intro is all in 4/4. Possibly the easiest place to count in the intro is when it goes to 8 7 8 7... as the first part of the riff is always the same So the first time it plays 8 7 8 7 for 6 beats, the second for 10 beats, then 6 beats, then a variation that goes to 8 5 for 6 beats Then 6 beats, 10 beats, 6 beats, and finally 14 beats On the tab one set of 8 7 8 7 would count as one beat
the transition from tapping to chugging is tough....any tips? just be fast?...also as I play along with it I noticed once I hit the chugging section my guitar is too loud...or too soft in the tapping...do you use compression?...thx for tabs!!!
Just a case of practising. I use my middle finger for tapping so the pick is ready between my index and thumb. A metronome should help you bring up the speed gradually too. The sound on this is mixed so the volumes are a bit more even. I would consider using a compressor if I was doing this live though. With the tapping I very slightly bend the string (less than a 1/4 note) as I tap with the right hand so it has a bit more tension and pings back. But you have to not bend it to much as it will sound a bit wonky. I know there are some who just slam the string really hard without having to flick it but I've never had it work that well for me.
Your covers are good but the drums sound quite badly. You should check out MT Power drumkit. It's free and sounds good. Just needs a bit of eq and reverb and it will sound great.
One thing that would make this a slightly better cover... is in the studio version/live the drummer slams the fucking shit out of his ride bell. This cut needs more Cow Bell. The bell is missing or minimal.
it is impossible to not adore the intro riff
Adoration for none
i like when that open chugging 2nd riff kicks in.
Facts
Simping for Gojira
Gladly
All day every day
Yeah I need more Gojira fanservice :c
One of my all time favourite gojira tapping riffs can’t wait to learn this song 🔥🤘
Hope the learning is going well 🤘
Is this in drop C?
C G C F A D ??
D standard for oroborus
Hell yeah! Ah I wish I could tap as gently and effortlessly as you do 😅
You might want to lower your action. Joe Duplantier has his very low. Incredible Toxic Garbage Island cover ( /cosplay lol) btw👍
Just a whole lot of practise! And congrats on your channel doing so well 🤘
Gojira is the band that inspired me to learn guitar
Wow I'm a moron. I read the tab for this and thought, "How the fck am I supposed to stretch my fingers from the 2nd fret to the 8th?" Never occurred to me that it's a tap. 😅
that breakdown is so fucking dark. masterpiece 🐋
These covers are awesome, I really like how into the songs you are when you're playing them. Shit rocks
Thank you 🤘 Can't help but have a little head bop
Best rock faces on the web
Amazing. One of my favourite Gojira tracks. Thanks for pulling this together man 🤘
You're welcome🤘
Best channel for learning songs🤘🏻could you do L’Enfant Sauvage
I'll go back over and redo a tab video for it in the future for sure!
Now i know where to go when i look for a Gojira tab and a good cover.And most importantly, an Epic Face while playing!!!! Great job man !!!
Thank you, glad the tabs are helpful!
Gotta love those Gojira riffs. Kickass as always bro! 🤘
One day soon I will nail this. Still having trouble with the tapping technique but practice will get me there. This video is perfect for that. \m/
noisegate helps
Amazing cover, I love this song but I'm still a beginner so I don't understand how to properly do tapping haha
Can’t wait to start learning this
Good luck!
Amazing cover Steve. This is one of those songs I love so much I deny myself the temptation to learn it because I never want to tire of it. So I watch this video to enjoy the experience vicariously. lolol
It is fun to play too! Once you get the tapping part down its very satisfying.
badass
Fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👹

how long have you been listening to Gorjira
im pretty new to using any delay, what would be your settings for a good delay that's not too overdone?

Whats the ending song name of the video?
Any tips on improving tapping? I can play it but my tapping is so sloppy.

Yesssss bro-seph 🖖 I know I'm late af to video and I suck but....I'll get it 🤣🤣🤣 it's a bit harder on a seven string lol damn too string messes me up lol!!!
Awesome cover! Where do you get the music with no vocals?
Thanks! I use midi drums from a guitar pro file then record the bass and guitars on top

@ShadowMantraSteve thanks!! This helps me understand it better!.
I drank alot tonight just to see this mf play this with more than one finger
before:
3:42 - ok, easy
after:
3:49 - WTF!!1?7
how can we find or buy drum and bas midi ? can you help to this ?
I use guitar pro files from ultimate guitar, correct them, then export the drums as midi
@@ShadowMantraSteve 👍👍👍👍
How do I get that tone man??
I mainly use the LePou and Ignite amps plugins with a mix of Godscab and some Diezel impulses.
What tuning
D standard
My fingers are bleeding

@@ShadowMantraSteve Semi troll comment. Your cover is great. I just need me more cowbell.
The cuts in the video make it hard to get the timing right. I'm trying to watch your fingers, not video skills.
The face is too much for playing one string… imagine if he played 2 strings
