It was a lot of effort for sure... Transcribing it was one thing, playing it reasonably well was another... it took most of the time. Thanks man. I'm glad you enjoyed it and best of luck to you going forward with it. 🙏🏻
🙏🙏Great technique and thank you so much for the transcription, I'll spend hours looking at this as soon as I manage to get my hands on an 8 string to learn this song
You're very welcome. I sincerely hope you get your hands on an 8-string soon. By the way, if this is the first song you learn on 8-string, we will have that in common! Best of luck.
Amazing! Could you try covering Thoughts and Prayers? Love the transcription, i’ll try the solo one day, and that thump tutorial convinced me to buy a bass haha.
Dude, I love that song! BUT I think I will take a break from whole transcription projects until at least 2023. 😆 Good shout though. And thanks for the kind words 🙏 Hope you enjoy your bass! I play a lot of 5-string for another project. What make/model did you buy? 😲
@@relaxwithriffs6682 Take as long of a break as you want, this one will keep me occupied for a while haha, and I just got a cheap Squier Classic Vibe V. You're an inspiration to many, take care!
Holy sh*. Man, I can't even imagine how challenging it was. To play and to understand each note, each sound. And beyond that, transcribint and to improve your technique to this level. Absolutely insane. Is there any strategy you could share? I'm a cellist and I'm into this kind of music, but some stuff are way divergent in idiomatic ways. I'd love a tip to understand better the guitar language and being able to approach those solos with more property.
Thank you for the kind words man 🙏🏻 That's an interesting question. If I have one tip in general, it's to understand intervals and to be able to recall their colours at will. When it's comes to guitar specifically, many ideas do not necessarily mesh well with typical harmonic analysis, but are rather specific to the instrument and the vocabulary it encourages. So the best way to transcribe a piece like this is to get to know the guitar first, how it is tuned, what kind of phrasing is possible, and the chords shapes, techniques, and patterns that are available to the player. Then, in combination with good ears and slow listening, you can begin to reconstruct what the instrument/artist has created. So much of this piece is technically driven, so this advice is not so helpful until you are already at a high level I think... but that is the unfortunate reality. I could write a lot more about the specific techniques and tonalities that have shaped this composition... but I think I would need to make another video to really say anything of value! In a nutshell, good ears + patience + deep experience of the instrument + curiosity... some combination of these produces a good transcription! Hope that helps!
@@relaxwithriffs6682 so grateful for you reply! It'll surely help. My last one is: when you talk about slow listening, you mean you literally play the tune in a slower tempo so you're able to recognize some fast passages? Or is it about patience?
@@joelonceloYou're welcome. And yes, I mean literally slowing down the track and relistening with patience over and over - it is the best way to transcribe something this detailed with high accuracy.
Unsurprisingly, Neural DSP Archetype Abasi 😀 Use the middle (the midgain one) amplifier with a little bit of reverb, and make sure you're using a split coil sound. Note that this tone is a bit different to the original track, because I wanted what I was playing to stand out from the original.
@@relaxwithriffs6682 Thank you sir. I am using the same but keep having trouble dialing in a tone for the selective picking to truly pop out… Is there a way you can send me your preset please?
