Hi there, welcome to my channel! I'm Dave, from Thailand. This is where I share my guitar covers of the songs I love, mainly from alternative rock, post-rock, indie rock, shoegaze, and so on depending on my random taste in music.
I make these videos in my free time since I play guitar as a hobby so there might be a big gap between each video. I welcome any feedback and comments, as they will help me improve my skills. I would love to hear from you, so don't hesitate to let me know if there's anything behind my covers that you would like to know :)
Nice tone keep it up I just covered Head In The Ceiling Fan on my channel Check it out if you want Tell me what you think ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_O_mnaMyMZY.htmlsi=A026PFaxIntfrFkA
Hey Dean I'm glad you like it! 😊 I wish I had the tabs for you, but I usually figure out songs by ear and by watching live performances. I only write tabs when a song is too complex to remember (sadly Grey Garden isn’t one of them 🥲). I think this song isn't too tough to write in tabs so if you can wait, I’ll try to write it out and let you know when it's done my friend🤘🏽
Heyy, thanks for the compliment! It's been a while since I did this cover so I might not remember everything perfectly 🤣. But I’m pretty sure I used a ProCo Rat2 for both lead and rhythm guitar. For the lead part, I added lots of modulated reverb from a Boss RV-6, some delay from a Zoom MS-50G (around 3XX ms delay time with a long feedback setting), and a JHS 3 Series Chorus (low rate and low depth). If you have a reverb pedal with a mix/blend knob, turn it to around 80%-90% and it will work just fine for most of Slowdive's lead part. Hope that helps!
It's a bootleg shirt I'm not sure where it was originally sold but I got it from a 2nd hand t-shirt shop on Instagram (The shop's name "klassshirts" and based in Thailand, I'm not sure if they ship overseas or not but you can try your luck)
Thank you so much! I've usually used 10-46's for my Jazzmaster, including in this cover. However, I recently switched to 10-54's for a thicker low end.
this is AMAZING! i've tried so hard to recreate this song and all its parts on my guitar and i know how tricky it can be, so for your cover to sound this good is so cool. to say im impressed is an understatement! :D
Thank you so much! Your kind words mean a lot, my friend🙏😊 This song is indeed a tricky one if you want to capture all of the guitar tracks that blend together on the original track (I want to recreate all its parts too that I tried deep listening to all the details but ended up giving up since I couldn't hear some tracks properly LoL)
Thanks a lot! I'm not sure about the chord names since this song uses a very weird tuning. However, please try searching for another cover of this song. There will be a cover that includes tabs in the description (The channel name is Matt).
Nice! Any ideas on how to get closer to that warbly/twangy tone for that first note in the actual track? (bottom guitar in your in vid). It’s not phaser. Hmmm. But maybe I’ll just stick with phaser anyway.
Thank you! I actually spent a lot of time experimenting to get as close as possible to that warbly/twangy tone you mentioned (yes, I failed in the end)🤣. To me, that tone in the actual track almost sounds like a sitar, so I tried to replicate that sitar-like on my guitar. I came across a tutorial video on how to create a Sitar sound using a Zoom G1xon. In the video, the creator stacked a flanger with a pitch shifter, by keeping the flanger at a very low rate and the pitch shifter set to 1 octave up. While this did produce a sitar-like sound, it still didn't sound like that warbly tone in the actual track. So in the end, I went with a mix of flanger and tape delay instead, as you can see in the video description (it still doesn't sound close to the actual track but it sits better in the mix compared with using the pitch shifter). Maybe if you can find a better way to fine-tune the sitar sound it might get you close to that tone.
