A heavy metal classic done on the ol' acoustic geetar. RIP Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul Abbott. Still remember the day I heard the news about Dime's passing, a heavy blow for sure as I was just discovering Pantera's music around that time. It's still some of my favourite heavy music ever.
"Cemetery Gates" was written by Pantera and released in 1990 on their debut album Cowboys From Hell.
*** I’m very much aware that many guitar parts and compositional elements of this arrangement are quite different from the original. I’m working from memory and my own internal relationship with the song which results in obvious differences sometimes. I improvise, change notes, section lengths, vocal parts, even lyrics sometimes and I'm not afraid to do that. I’m not learning these parts from tabs or trying to make it exact to the original, I’m interpreting and adapting the arrangement for my own purposes to create something new or to suit my performance. It’s okay if you don’t prefer it. Stating it’s wrong is such a strange concept to me though because music is never wrong. When we think music is wrong we become closed minded which is creatively regressive and ultimately unhelpful. Something to consider. Thanks for watching, liking (or disliking) and commenting!

Who else here is thankful that CZcams recommended to them this gem of a cover?!!
Me
Just got the recommendation too. Happy about it
🙋♂
Right here. Wow
The algorithm brought people together again. Howdy friends.
The difficulty to pull this off both musically and vocally is unprecedented. This guy deserves a Grammy for this IMHO.
I agree. Hopefully he never sells his soul, to a fucking record label. 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼
@@LJCountry88 sadly that's the only way he will ever get anywhere as a Musician. It's a tough business
agree
So clean. As a diehard pantera fan and bad guitarist of 30 years this blows my mind.
Spot on - this is sooo hard to do
I'm 17, my car is packed full of friends and we're riding back roads, smoking a joint, cheap beer.... this album just dropped and I bought it, we were blown away by cowboys from hell!!. Nostalgia
sounds like heaven bro
Hell yes
Lol!! I was definitely doing the same exact thing back in the 90s in another town far from yours at the same time😂😂 👍
Right there.
🔥🌲💨 🤘🤘
Holy 💩 dude. I clicked this because I’ve never seen an all acoustic version of this song done before. But I did NOT expect this level of crispyness. This was incredible my man.
In my 32 years of life and 22-23 of those being a devoted and passionate music lover and and musician myself.... I never thought in my life I would ever hear a completely acoustic version of any Pantera song... let alone Cemetery Gates. This is one hell of an amazing performance Corey! 👏 much love and respect man! This has to be honestly one of your best performances in my opinion. Your vocals are so haunting and dark over top of those killer dimebag guitar riffs... it is truly phenomenal and something otherworldly 🖤🤟😎🤘🖤
Thanks so much Worm 🙏
@@coreyheuvel Thank you for sharing 🙏 ❤️ 😊
Very unexpected which I love, shows your range and diversity. What I like most is that you illustrate how Pantera always had much more depth as songwriters beyond thrash metal. Don't get me wrong, I love their music as-is, just saying your performance gives a different window into their creativity. I'd love to hear what Phil would comment here..
Blessing u for this version...
\m/\m/ from Portugal
@@coreyheuvel how do you go from playing capricho arable to shitty sublime
One take, one camera, no cuts, no edits: the true mark of talent. 👍 A worthy tribute to the legendary song, and a job well done.
No way to know how many takes it was...
@@joelburlingame5693It is one take, meaning that it is not a composite of the best bits of many takes edited together. It is not necessarily the first take, but it is one take. 🍻
@@skriabinfly I do understand that, thanks.
@@joelburlingame5693 really out here trying to discredit a fully acoustic version of cemetery gates like it's not one of the most insane things we've ever heard 😂 this dudes a monster no matter how many trys it took ya goof
@tdogg6117 I didn't mean it that way. I was just saying that it wasn't necessarily the first take. Certainly it was an awesome piece. No need to call names.
It’s rare to find an acoustic cover of a metal song that’s 10/10 on the instrument and 10/10 on the vocal performance. I can’t criticize anything about it. It’s unique yet stays true to the original and hits the important parts with perfection. 🎉bravo dude!🎉 1:51
Acoustic covers of metal songs are great! czcams.com/video/SkMNrOsTuRU/video.htmlsi=vRaiUidUEqgF_BQS

Probably one of the best acoustic covers in history...
agree
I just finished saying basically the same thing before reading this.
Uh...no!
Are you kidding me?!?!?! I clicked this just for a general idea of how to play this song on acoustic guitar but I nearly dropped my phone. You did this song justice!
I’m a year late on this one, but in all honesty this is one of the most perfect acoustic covers of any song I’ve heard. True to the original, yet enough changes to make the arrangement fit the instrument. Vocals are excellent and carry the emotion of Phil, yet blend into an acoustic version perfectly. Truly, that was perfect
Amen.
This is incredible. I think this is the best acoustic cover of anything I have ever seen . This is brutally difficult to pull off.
Damn son, it takes massive balls to attempt a Pantera Cover at all let alone an acoustic one for two obvious reasons. 1. Phil has one of the most epic metal voices, timber and range and 2. Dimebag, i mean he's buried with a guitar Gods own priceless guitar ffs. This is AMAZING, seriously amazing and needs to be shown to the world. You have a new fan and subscriber for life.
Easily the best Pantera acoustic cover I ever listened on Internet, goddamn awesome. THANK YOU!
I agree totally
Долго думал, что написать... но у меня нет слов... одни эмоции!!! Слушаю эту акустическую версию песни группы Пантера уже второй день и не могу наслушаться!!! До того этот парень ее спел очень хорошо (и с аранжировкой поработал как надо), что аж до мурашек по коже.... теперь я даже и не знаю какая версия лучше _ оригинал или эта!!!??? Браво маэстро!!!
Про мурашки такая же фигня
I am not the biggest Pantera fan but Corey's acoustic version makes it clear how great this song is. Great job!
Corey Heuvei is not just a musician who's cracked the key to the gates, he's also a gigachad who shared the TABS!! Thank you brother and awesome cover!!
where are the TABS?
Yes……where might these tabs be?
Gigachad, stealing it! and will be looking for the TABS
Share the link to the tab please
Dudes look at the About and description of the video lol 😂
THIS MAN IS PURE TALENT!
No pure skill and passion
Wow. I couldn't help but cry listening to you perform this song. Cemetery Gates is so incredibly powerful, and you hold and capture Phil and Dime's emotions in this perfect song. Way to pay tribute and honor this song in this way. Thank you so much for this, and love to you, and PANTERA forever.
I dont have the words dude.I heard this Pantera song many years ago.And still one of the best songs for me.Your cover is a technical challenge as you nail ALL parts, but moreover it sounds good and gave me chills.So thank you🙏🙏🙏
As a huge Pantera fan, I just want to say thank you. You did this song justice times a thousand. Dime just gave devil horns and a huge smile on high. Thank you.
Can’t believe you made such a heavy song sound so good on just an acoustic guitar, even got Dimebag Darrel’s solo. Impressive!
Rarely do we see someone perform so passionately with faultess chording and timing.You have a wonderful gift.Please keep sharing.
The best thing about music, people covering, creating their own feel of a song or own music. This randomly shows up on my feed. Awesome job!
Wherever he is now.. Dimebag is surely smiling at you.. outstanding version! You are great
im sitting here for easily the 100th time watching this. goosebumps. the pick strumming on the chord fast chord progression is literally mind boggling. i can not play that.. what is this magic
Dude you knocked this out of the park. Beautiful
Ok my jaw is still on the floor. That was over the top. Total talent and dedication. Every bit of this song acoustically was well played and the singing was amazing I hope every Pantera fan out there shares this in memory of Dime and Vinnie ❤
You Rock🤘
Dude I mirror the sentiment!! Holy fuck… best cover I’ve heard and it’s even on acoustic.
I would pay good money to see this guy in concert!
Same here
We (Fan Forum) have been wanting that for a long time.
Dude... Sooooo good. I got chills, music doesn't make me do that often anymore
That was truly amazing! I'd never thought it would even be possible to make an entire acoustic version of this song, but not only did you do it, you pulled it of completely, including a proper transcription of the solo. Truly unique and beyond all measurement!! Thank you sooooo much for that!!!
This is in my top five all-time favorite songs.. never thought it would make for a good Acoustic Song.. you certainly prove that it does. FU*KING OUTSTANDING!!!
Thanks Erik 🙏
@@coreyheuvel Very good cover, man!
This is a cover masterclass. Stripped down and put together with enough original elements, yet adapted to accoustic and made your own. Brilliant.
Sole display of so much talent for straight 7 minutes !! No cuts. Just riffs and powerful vocals 💯
This is probably the best metal to acoustic cover I've ever heard. Props dude!!!
Corey, this is just what I needed today. As a Texas boy, Pantera was such a huge part of my childhood, and this was a beautiful rendition that would make Dime and Vinnie proud. RIP to the Abbott brothers, we miss you every day. I would love to see you do Floods, especially for the solo and outro, I think you would kill it, and i feel it would translate to acoustic well. Keep doing what you do.
Thanks so much Eric! Love Floods too 🤘
Representing Texas Bois too Eric, killer performance as always Corey, badass.
@@coreyheuvel this would be awesome
Holy shit !!! This is awesome
This is it. This is the cover that all covers wish they could be. Super impressed.
Agreed
You have fully made this song your own here. Honestly well done this was so enjoyable to watch.
Dude, I am just in awe at your cover of what is one of my favorite songs. You really nailed this!
I love the confidence he gives me to hit those high notes while singing with him.. alone in my car.. LMAO.. amazing job man.
Caralho.. foda demais
Eu tô com 37 anos e decidi começar aprender violão definitivamente, e quero aprender pra um dia poder fazer um dom desse, dessa qualidade.
Obrigado por compartilhar isso cara!
Wow…. Just wow. I clicked on this and was curious as to how a cover would be. The initial guitar I was hopeful and wow was I not disappointed.
Bravo ! Incredibly done! One of the best covers I’ve ever heard of any song
Man what was fantastic cover, dude. You should be proud. This is incredible and I will be listing to often from now on.
Not gunna lie, Ive been coming back to this video since its came out and ive not gotten tired of it. As a die hard Pantera fan, this has been the coolest cover I have ever heard of their songs. The fact you did a rendition of Dime's ELECTRIC GUITAR solo on a ACOUSTIC,is amazing! This will be a video people will come back to listen to for a long time. Great job dude!
I’m glad you didn’t lie
F***ing gold, man. That solo arrangement was so delightful. Amazing.
My personal favorite song of all time!
Thank you for giving it justice!
Oh my! I wasn't expecting what you did with the solo, I thought you'd jump to the next verse instead of playing it. Congratulations! Big fan of your work. Greetings from Brazil!
Incredible cover!!! Definitely didn’t expect you to do this one!
All these years later this song still gives me goosebumps when I hear it. Excellent cover, sounds great on acoustic.
Beyond words…. The best acoustic version of this tune, EVER!!! Congratulations!
I am completely impressed with this. Especially the way you translated the solo section to acoustic. Incredible.
Man, I’m speechless. This is brutal! Nicely done mate!!
What an unbelievably brilliant performance. You even nailed the final falsetto cry - I'm blown away.
This is easily one of the greatest acoustic covers of any song ever holy crap I am blown away. When the main solo reached and he outlined the melody perfectly while still playing the como chords fuck me that was great
This has got to be one of the most amazing things I have ever seen in my life. Epic! 🤘
This is hands down one of the best covers i have ever heard and seen. 🫡
Damn. This is clean af. One of the best covers I've seen of anything
Freakn’ sick, man. The voice and the guitar skill is just something to be admired.
As a huuuuuuge Pantera fan, top 3 band of mine, this was simply beautiful, your voice shocked me, brought a tear to my eye! Well done man!
If youtube recommended this to you, you're a legend. This cover is great!
It takes so much talent and dedication to achieve acoustic covers with such quality, complexity and loyalty to the original song as yours Corey. What an amazing performance! Keep up the work! We love what you do 😁
One of the best covers I've ever heard, period. Arrangement and vocals are otherworldly. At a loss for words, honestly...I'm completely blown away.
Your vocals at the end sent shivers down my spine, true music is meant to be felt!
This is by far the best I've seen. You made it your own. Dime is smiling from heaven ❤️
Absolutely killed it, brother. I've waited a lot of years for a full acoustic cover of this song. You kept it true to the original, but the acoustic rendition really brings out the beauty in the melodies and harmonies of this song.
Thank you CZcams for recommending this complete gem of a cover!! You did pantera proud with this one!
everything is good, great vocals, acoustic arrangement, no video cut or strange things and this song is so long. hats off
I keep coming back to this cover almost on a daily base.. Then I don't listen to it for some time, until I go on and just listen to music randomly on CZcams and always come across this masterpiece.. A true piece of art.
Would be so amazing if this would be on your Spotify!
I would 100% add it to some of my most played lists. It is just sooooo good!
Absolutely stunning mate. Well done. You are something special
This is the cover I didn't know I needed until now. Awesome job!
I love your attention to detail and your passion & guitar skills. Unbelievable & amazing. This is a beautiful version of a unique song. Thank you
Corey. That was effin amazeballs. That’s honestly one of the best covers of a metal song I’ve ever heard. Your voice and playing are damn near perfect. Thank you for sharing…. Sometimes I do love the algorithm… when it gives me gifts like this.
Duuude. This is just one of the best Pantera covers (and acoustic covers on overall) I've ever heard in my life. Hands down. You rule. ¡Saludos a toda la raza de Guadalajara! 🇲🇽
Hey man that was fantastic! All those little nuances you threw in. Loved it
Wow man!! I am a huge Pantera fan, even went and visit Dime and Vinnie's gravesite a couple weeks ago. Got to sit there and listen to some tunes with them. I just want to say, you absolutely rocked that cemetery gates cover. That was incredible. Thank you for that.
Corey, you’re killing it. Never would have thought an acoustic cover for this. 😮😮😮
Since this was released in your channel, I have listened to this on repeat. Obsessively. I didn’t know pantera could sound like this on an acoustic Martin. Kudos to you, you have earned yourself yet another patreon student, and a loyal admirer. I have experienced most of your stuff uploaded in CZcams, but this is the one for me. Stuff for infinite repetitions and sharing. Thanks for making this brilliant cover.
Just awestruck.
There's a lot of heart put into this performance. It's beautiful.
Bro. 👏🔥 I've watched this about 10 times now. Killer.
That pinch harmonic riff sounded pretty sick on the acoustic ngl.... you even nailed the voice ma guy🙌🏻
There are no harmonics used in the entire song?? Timestamp pls
@@arealtaldarim7048 Have you ever heard the original? The riff starting at 1:26 in Corey's version is done with pinch harmonics in the original, but Corey's on an acoustic so it's almost impossible to replicate. @Aditya Kar was just pointing out how Corey still managed to make it sound good even on acoustic.
@@Cold_Toes_ that's right
This is my favourite pantera song, I thought it was not possible to do an acoustic version of this song because the song is a liitle bit too brutal to be on acoustic, I guess I was wrong...
This version is absolutely mind blowing, you killed it, congratulations, you're a fantastic musician.
I never imagined an acoustic version of Pantera. This is freakin awesome. Much respect.
Marvellous! Can't find any other word to describe this cover. Really well done! 🤘
By far the best cover I’ve heard yet, awesome job on the guitar 👊👊👊
I have lost words to praise your abilities. Thank you for your music ❤️ If it's worth anything, yours is the only CZcams channel for which I have the bell notification on 😊
My smile just kept getting bigger and bigger as the performance went on. I didn't think it could be done this well....amazing!
so well done dude, I had to rewind the solo again and again. Beautiful rendition of cemetary gates ❤🔥
Dude... this video gave me freakin' tears in my eyes! Such a powerful performance.
Bro... lifelong Pantera fan here. This cover was awesome. I love the way you transposed the solo. Great job, man.
the solo was super epic I agree. wasn't expecting that :P
This is amazing. You took this song and made it yours. It’s one of my favorites and not many people can do Dimebag justice while making one of his masterpieces their own. Impressive. Well done.
its a really good acoustic cover but I would not say that he owns that song now
A wonderful rendition of this song. I have to admit that it brought a tear to my old eyes.
Dude! My mind is blown. You have all of my respect. Outstanding job. You have so much taste and it is very apparent that you have and enormous passion for music as a whole! This is my first impression of you as it the first video of yours that I have watch and let me tell you there is so much hunger to watch more. This makes me want to pick my guitar back up again it's been a few years. Keep inspiring and keep creating. Extremely well done brother!
Thanks so much mate 🙏
Never imagined the acoustic version of this song. You played it so smooth. Huge respect!
Absolutely amazing man. I can’t believe you got the gates part at the end.
Man, this is just awesome. I am a huge Panther fan, and seeing such cool covers is just happiness for me.
Ive been playing for around 17 years and have played and heard this song played countless times... this is my favorite version. The practice to get this right must have been absurd lol love the creativity and your talent is outrageous. Kudos man
Your exquisite guitar playing overshadows your singing sometimes. Here, your great voice really shines. Keep doing your thing man, you re awesome!
I love this! I was listening to this song earlier today. Love the acoustic sound. ☺️ great job.
I never thought in my life I'd listen to an acoustic cemetery gate. Thank you for the cover and I've followed you guys.
such a beautiful rendition, i couldn't imagine an acoustic Pantera cover that still keeps so much of the soul of the song intact, kudos!
