Bro, I was thinking pf buying a 8 strings and after seeing your playing I never felt so inspired of exploring new musical genres and styles, this was beautiful and badass as heck dude, the clean part gives me chills, you did amazing!!!
Cleanest/classiest RGD7421 ive ever seen. I would choose nealry every aesthetic youve made if it were my own i do believe my friend. Not to take away from the chefs kiss choices you made. Kmow this is old but damn, id love to find an old RGD7421. Gave up last year when every seach for almost an entire year only yieled results coming outta Japan. Even on eBay lol. Maybe one day. Great cover here as well dude. Kinda expected as much when i immediately saw this elegant ass Ibby dude
Thanks for converting this to 7 strings or thanks to whoever bloodlustx36 is. I thought for sure this would have been recorded with 7 strings but after buying the official tabs I was let down learning that it was done with 6 strings in drop Ab which is insane.
@@Nrthrn I think they recorded the album with a 6 string then later started using 7 strings after and reformatted the song to fit a 7. Off their intro page in their tab book - "We used Ibanez 6-string guitars in standard and dropped-D tuning; however, we tuned the strings down 3 whole steps. We used 13-56 gauge string sets with a wound 3rd for this tuning to accommodate for the low tuning." Which is basically G#-D#-G#-C#-F-A# tuning. On their Intrinsic tab book they say they used a 7 string RG1527 and only tuned down half a step.
@@Nrthrn I play a 7 string myself still kind of new but been wanting to learn this song for a long time it's amazing great cover! last thing I wanted to ask you was how you got the tabs for a 7 string I've only seen 6 strings tabs so far unfortunately.
@@braxtonortegon5361 hey! Thanks so much. It was a challenge for me but I’m glad I spent 2 weeks practicing it everyday before I had the courage to shoot this video and share it here. I believe the tab is on a link in the description but I found it on that Ultimatetabs website or something like that

The guitar tone is legit. Sounds exactly like the original. Cheers
thanks so much! glad you like it
I thought buying an Ibanez 7 String would instantly make me learn any Contortionist song. Goddammit, I was so wrong...
hahaha give it a shot! I thought I was never going to learn that song. But I put in the work and it paid off!
I fell into that trap too.
Also fell in that trap. Their time signatures are insane
one of the best albums
1sheldon yes indeed!
I still get goosebumps every time I hear that build up/solo or whatever you call it. So fucking epic
Me too man!
Hell yes. Can’t believe this is over ten years old now...
Right? Such a great album that was
@@Nrthrn one of the few bands to incorporate djent into a "dead space" theme and it works perfectly the tones are a masterpiece
Incredible job! Such a great song
thanks man!
You fucking killed it man. Hope to see you doing big things with music. Oh the place you go and the people you will meet
thanks so much! I appreciate it
@@Nrthrn yessirski

Man such a great guitar! It’s a shame I had to sell it a couple of years ago
Absolutely amazing cover, 1:1. Perfection in that tone.
thanks so much!
Fantastic cover! This deserves way more views!
Andrew Hole thanks so much! 🙌🏼
Imagine writing music in this band.......... WELL DONE BRO!!!
Aaron Wright thanks man!
@@Nrthrn Dude, this band is nuts.
That guitar is beautiful and so is this cover!
Thank you!
I thought.. wait this guy looks familiar… then I saw your name and was like „yo dooood!“ greetings from your IG Fan :P
Haha that’s awesome! This is a little bit different from what I post on IG eh?
@@Nrthrn I'm a huge The Contortionist fan and Flourish is next to Oscillator my favorite track!
Beautiful playing. Such an awesome cover man.
HELLBOY thanks for the kind words! It’s very encouraging 🙌🏼

I’ve thought this song was done with a 7 string. I’ve seen them live playing it on 7s 🙌🏼

@@incongruous4 oh wow! Didn’t know that
Bro you covered this! Hell yes
thanks man!

thank you!
Amazing. Congratulations
Thank you!
Awesome cover man, love this song 🙏
Pasha Oganyan thanks so much!
incredible
Nick Coffeen thank you!
is it possible get the solo playing on acoustic guitar?
I think so!
Do you have their official tab book? Can you play the riff at the end of light its probably my favorite on the CD
Hey! No don’t have it. That album is one of my favs of all time
What Ibanez is this it’s a beaut!! Great cover dude!!
Jake Hughes thanks! It’s a RGD that I customized with Bare Knuckle pickups and Hipshot Hardware 👊🏻
eita música casca da preula! Pesado cachorro!
valeu mano!
Video and Audio dont sound in sync? Did you overlay the guitar audio over the video?
How did you get that tone so dead on?!?!?! Is it an amp or somthing on the computer?
Thanks man! I used a Helix LT. Just tried my best to match the overall eq and tone. Glad you dig it!
