Gojira are the masters of simplicity. In a genre where players are trying to play as fast as possible or tie their fingers in a knot, Gojira is killing it with things that mere mortals can play.
@@infernalsquid yea so true. It might seem easy to play Gojira songs with your left hand, but your picking hand is what it’s all about. songs like “Esoteric surgery” and “wolf down the earth” will challenge you’re picking hand.
this is one of their most underrated songs. a lot of people dont like fortitude because its not as heavy as their other albums but songs like sphinx and amazonia are among their best songs imo
Great cover of my favorite single from Fortitude, thank you! I flew to their concert in Idaho and saw the live audience debut of this song. It was amazing.
Hell yeah mate!! Sounds so damn good!. One of my favourite off the latest album. Your guitar tone is great!. Nailed it as always!. You never fail so sound awesome. Straight into the playlist haha. Keep it up mate!
Greetings from Colombia, thanks for making this video, since you do it completely with tablatures, especially the solo with pinch harmonics, so that other guitarists can learn it.
Call upon the wise one to remember the chords The truth buried alive since the dawn of time Was it all for nothing? Great watcher of the soul Rid the world of its blindfold, make us real again Carved in limestone That's all there is, facing the lion Become one You stand still, the voice of silence Remain one Express your will, you will be rewarded For all thoughts become reality May we learn from the old one Standing tall in the sand Witness erosion, the rise and fall of men Carved in limestone That's all there is, facing the lion Become one You stand still, the voice of silence Remain one Become one Ah, the savior has arrived Ah, the savior has a name Carved in limestone You become one Facing the lion You become one
I watch it everyday. Currently hyper focusing on refining this one. Any tips for getting that little melody you play in the pinch harmonics? Thank you for the video from Seattle ❤️
Really good cover! The part that confuses me is the up stroke harmonic pick on the 5th fret in the main riff (done in two parts of the song but can be heard at @0:15). I've seen the actual guitarist do it by moving his hand up the fretboard and sliding down it in the music video which is how you're playing it, but your tab reads it differently and is the way I'd expect to play it to be honest, so I really don't know therefore how the recorded version is being played?
Yeah the tab is kinda incorrect, it shows a muting up pick but I guess it’s supposed to be a harmonic like he does in the video. I personally think in the recorded song it sounds like a harmonic pick slide. Gojira does a lot of mysterious harmonics like in the middle section of their song clone, I believe they use a pinch harmonic and a pitch pedal but I use thumb harmonic and whammy bar.
Sorry for the slow reply. It's a mix of pinch harmonics while raking across the strings more than natural harmonics. I've not found a good way to notate it on tab as it's not really played on a specific fret. I have a video up on Gojira pick scrapes ua-cam.com/video/OQ1sgde3Tnw/v-deo.html As mentioned in the first comment on my video there's an interview with Joe and the fretting hand is more for visual effect than doing anything special - even I got caught out by it when explaining in my video ua-cam.com/video/6LuEH9OCnFg/v-deo.html
@@ShadowMantraSteve I managed to work it out in the end. From what I can see in live performances, it's an upstroke on the 9th fret (harmonic) straight to the E minor power chord (tuned down, so a D). Looks like a slide but it's not which is what confused me.
Have been enjoying Fortitude a lot recently. If you could play Grind or Born For One Thing, I would be very impressed by it. Do you plan on uploading more Fortitude covers in the future?
I will be doing a few more at some point in the future yes. I did a cover of born for one thing earlier this year, enjoy! ua-cam.com/video/GeC9AxlAEeU/v-deo.html
I typically still use the Le456 plugin from LePou, or ignite amps emissary sim with a combination of impulse responses. Often use the TSE 808 too as a tube screamer replacement and to tighten up the low end. Then it's quite a few stock plugins like compression and EQ. I do use a Waves SSLchannel strip a fair bit to add in a bit of top end and also use JST side widener and clip. Drums are midi from a guitar pro file and then run through Steven Slate Drums.

Guitar wise, yes. This doesn't apply for the drums though. xD
@@lewy_g_official You are right. The drummer is bad ass. I tend to look at things through a guitar player lens because that's my instrument.
@@lewy_g_official very subdued on this song...somehow it makes that snare fill all the more crushing...
tbf, some of their earlier songs are stamina tests, especially like Where Dragons Dwell and Backbone

The most underrated one, definetly.
Joe Duplantier said in grammy, their last album not too heavy because they getting older.
this is the song that I wanted to learn, thanks so much!!
It's a fun one, there's a lot of groove in the main riff to get behind
00:22 Great stuff!

I'm back and I finally have that pick scrape down. The scrape itself is no problem, but damn it's hard keeping the tempo right after the scrape. WIP.

Thank you as always 🤘😎🤘

Call upon the wise one to remember the chords
The truth buried alive since the dawn of time
Was it all for nothing? Great watcher of the soul
Rid the world of its blindfold, make us real again
Carved in limestone
That's all there is, facing the lion
Become one
You stand still, the voice of silence
Remain one
Express your will, you will be rewarded
For all thoughts become reality
May we learn from the old one
Standing tall in the sand
Witness erosion, the rise and fall of men
Carved in limestone
That's all there is, facing the lion
Become one
You stand still, the voice of silence
Remain one
Become one
Ah, the savior has arrived
Ah, the savior has a name
Carved in limestone
You become one
Facing the lion
You become one
как всегда все качественно 😀
большое спасибо

Could to cover The Chant with tabs please!

@@ShadowMantraSteve Wow, incredible stuff! Your chugging in the bridge section is very very good. Thanks for the content! 😀
Excellent. What effects and signal chain are you using in your Logic for this tone? Also, how are you mixing this and programming your drums mate?
