GUITAR TAB: www.mediafire.com/file/yfzona7833fcut0/_Helena_+MCR+Guitar+Tab.pdf Thanks again for everyone's support! My instagram is: instagram.com/rodfraser118
I just want to thank everyone for their continued support! Comparing this cover to my old "Helena" cover, I've come a long way and it's all thanks to all of you! For the bridge I re-created the backing effect which consisted of about 5 guitars with heavy reverb. I only showed one guitar playing one note from it; this note is my favourite since it really compliments Ray and Frank's part in the bridge. It sounds like something from a horror movie when its listened to by itself. Two guitars were just me scratching and rubbing the strings for a background noise. I hope you all enjoy this cover as it was highly requested!
Rod Fraser Soooooo great!!! first MCR song I’ve heard 12 years ago... ohhhh... so nostalgic!!! great job as always!!! I think one day I will hear your version of “You Know What They Do...”!!! Rock on!!!
Frank and Ray were (are) a match made in heaven. They probably influenced my playing more than any other guitarist. Those chord combos are so fuckin sick.
Hayley Young sorry I’m a year late lol but I think it’s by a blues driver effect pedal, cause that’s the pedal frank used for his distortion. Again I’m not sure cause I’m a bass player but yea pretty sure that’ll help :)
If he hasn't created it himself, he might be making use of the Line6 pedals - I have the Amplifi FX100 and they have A LOT of crowdsourced tones. Some are almost a perfect match to the original track
Your attention to detail is phenomenal! I was just listening to the stems for this song last night because I'm going to cover it myself and I can't believe how closely you replicated every single part, well done!
Want to sing? Heres the lyrics. Long ago Just like the Hearse you die to get in again We are so far from you Burning on Just like the match you strike to incinerate The lives of everyone you know And what's the worst you take From every heart you break And like the blade you'll stain Well I've been holding on tonight What's the worst that I can say? Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight Came a time When every star fall Brought you to tears again We are the very hurt you sold And what's the worst you take From every heart you break And like the blade you'll stain Well I've been holding on tonight What's the worst that I can say? Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight Well, if you carry on this way Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight Can you hear me? Are you near me? Can we pretend to leave and then We'll meet again When both our cars collide What's the worst that I can say? Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight And if you carry on this way Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight

It's annoying that you only have 6.4k subs at the moment but at that kind of skill and editing, you deserve far more. I CAN HEAR GERARD WAY'S VOICE INSIDE MY HEAD WHILE LISTENING TO THIS GOD DAMN IT!
It’s cool to see both parts being played together :) I’m trying to work on making my own songs but I struggle to create rhythm parts for all my lead but this gives me a clearer idea . Also love this song and your cover :)
This is giving me intense nostalgia, you've come a long way dude. Perfect tone, precise covers, amazing editing. You are definitely my favorite guitarist on RU-vid doing covers. Keep playing man!
By the way, your finger placements are amazing! It looks like your just sliding all over the fretboard. I've always tried to do that but I can't seem to place my ring finger beside my middle finger when I'm playing octaves.
I literally just this morning finally pulled the trigger on buy a used Gibson LP Studio that looks almost identical to this LPJ (same finish, same inlays, although with a black pickguard and the traditional colored tuners), and this video pops up in my recommended feed. Coincidence? I think not!
