  • A guitar cover The Heaviest Matter of the Universe with tab, originally by Gojira.
    Tuning - D Standard
    By popular vote here is a redo of my previous Heaviest Matter cover. Enjoy!
    The verse can be tricky to get clean so pay attention to muting the open chord stabs with your palms before playing the tremolo phrases between them.
    I went for a triple tracked guitar - left, centre, right - just to fill in the middle where the vocals should be a bit.

    Signal chain for those interested, it's all in the box.
    The left and right guitar, DI guitar - TSE 808 - Noise Gate - Le456 amp sim on low gain channel - LeCab2 with a combination of a 57 impulse from GodsCab and a Diezel impulse from Ownhammer - a small touch of 1/8 note delay
    Centre guitar - same as above but high gain channel
    Guitar buss - a multipressor to keep the palm mutes in check - EQ to clean up - SSL channel strip mainly for air - a tiny amount of reverb.

    For those curious - video and audio are recorded separately, it results in a better video for everyone 🤘

    Hey man, can I just say that your videos are literally perfect? Like, nothing is missing from them that anyone could even hope for. I know that, since it's basically free for viewers, you're not held to any specific set of requirements and nobody has any "right" to demand that you do everything possible, but it's immensely refreshing to see someone put something out into the world which isn't itself about as much work for me to figure out and correct as it would've been for me to just do it on my own from the start. I really appreciate this

    Picked up playing guitar just a hair over 6 months ago, and having spent most of that on a classical I’m pretty proud to say I’ve now learned this whole thing, I’m certainly not great at it (that main triplet-barre-triplet riff is brutal for me) but that’s a pretty damn good feeling!

    • @ShadowMantraSteve
      @ShadowMantraSteve  Před 2 lety

      I've found 11-48 good - been using power slinkies for some time. I'm currently trying out some string source 11-54 and finding the top strings can be pretty hard for bending but the low strings are good. I wouldn't go anything heavier than 11 on top for D standard personally.

    It always seems a little bit confusing to me on how to do the pick scrape riffs. Are you doing some natural harmonics or why you move the fret hand during that part?

    • @ShadowMantraSteve
      @ShadowMantraSteve  Před 4 lety +3

      It's a mix of things. The picking hand is playing pinch harmonics. The fretting hand isn't pressing down so you get a mix of natural harmonics and also string noise as you move your hand.

      Normally I double, but for this I tripled tracked. One left, one right then one centre as there's no vocals. The centre has a slightly different settings and as stereo widener just to stop it being mono in the middle.

      Use a metronome to build speed up gradually. If you're struggling at a certain speed slow it down a bit and take a break after some practise. I find over several days my muscle memory starts kicking in and the speed gradually picks up.

Is this a computer program like pro logic or something? I’m locked up in an apartment with a bunch of guitars and nothing to do. Please, will someone please tell me what I need to acquire to do this with other songs? I’m so desperate to learn or understand that I’ll literally pay someone to explain how people do this. I see countless videos of guys playing along to their favorite jams.... HOW? Please, please someone explain it to me? I will be forever grateful

    • @ShadowMantraSteve
      @ShadowMantraSteve  Před 3 lety +1

      Hi, here's a brief explanation. The way I do it is find a guitar pro file that has drums included then export only the drums as a midi file. I then import it to logic and use the Steven Slate drums plugin for the drum sounds. The bass is then recorded DI, but it can also be done as a midi track like the bass. The guitars are also DI. I use amp sim plugins and impulse loaders for tones on both the bass and the guitars.
