  • Hey there, I've wanted to do this song for years but I could never work it out properly and gave up. Alex and Chris do an awesome job on the solos and their playing kicks my ass, so it's not perfect and I made some mistakes. I could have sat on it longer and learnt it a bit better but It meant I'd have to wait another week to upload it. So I apologise for my impatience.
    I worked it out by ear and recorded it through my Mark V module from Jaided Faith. Please don't ask for tabs as there were none used, There's a clip of Willy playing segments on CZcams that I watched and learnt from.
    Hope you like it

    I can break down the riffs in the songs if you'd like, but please don't ask about the solos. I'd have to learn them again and they were a nightmare lol

      I notice from other covers people play this in different ways. Either way it's a difficult song and even the rhythm parts seem unorthodox if that's the right word. I'm just getting it to sound good now after about 30 accumulated hours.

      Lamb of god riffs from New American Gospel to Ashes of the Wake make me want to quit playing because they are so damn good. Hourglass and Now you’ve got something to die for are so difficult to play perfectly.

    Thanks all for your great comments, appreciated. I forgot to mention in the descriptive why I'm using the RR5 over the Dominion, thought someone would have said something. Solos are much easier on the RR, for some reason it takes less effort and I needed all the help I could get. That fast riff of Willie's was hard to get my head around, that is my vomit riff lol
