The Phalanx - Trivium guitar cover (NEW SONG 2021)| Epiphone MKH Les Paul & Chapman MLV 

True! The KG inspired riff is probably a product of this originally being a scrapped Shogun song

I ain’t going to be sleeping properly the following days after the release that’s for sure 🤯

Two legends in a comment

It was mesmerising watching my own bloody fingers move like that. Goddamn I was glad when I finished that part.

@@curtiswardley6312 😂 I can only imagine! It's insane how quickly you get these covers up. Keep up all the great work man. Can't wait to see more covers when their album drops next week.

This is a rewritten song from the shogun era they didn't use. Check Corey's Twitter, he confirmed it.

Congrats King, hope all is well on your end. Take care God Bless

@@curtiswardley6312 go to bed

Goddamn it

@@curtiswardley6312 One day we’ll master those sweeps

Nice sound by the way 🤙🏻

Not as many as Skylines Severance a week or so again. The weird diminished/chromatic riff after the solos would be the hardest part. The solos are tricky but not the absolute hardest on their discography

What is thy question King?

@@curtiswardley6312 I asked you on insta once but you never saw it haha, but i wanna play incineration the broken world for my last school performance, but I can't figure out wtf Corey does as his last lick in his solo That like dimished sweepy tappy thing? What is that haha

Oh shit, It may be buried somewhere in the insta dms requests, I don’t always check those. Yeah it’s a diminished sweep tappy thing, that’s how I would explain it too. I really fluked that solo when I recorded that video in 2018 so I can’t quite remember exacty what I played 😂 I know they played it on one of the Deepest Cuts streams but you can’t accurately see what Corey’s playing due to the camera angle. That song is on the list of songs to rerecord in the next couple weeks.

@@curtiswardley6312 haha surely lemme ask what it is when you reupload it haha I just had trouble tryna figure out like which arpeggios and tapped notes coz it's so fast I have no clue how you manage to do all this by ear, you're an actual god mate Great cover BTW this song slaps too fucken hard

Trivium’s (and most metal bands) will have at least two rhythm guitars tracked, usually one panned Left speaker and one Right speaker which is how you get that “wide wall of guitars sound” metal is known to have. Sometimes they will be playing different parts like harmonies. Some of the leads you’ll hear on Trivium’s studio albums will have a lower or higher octave or a harmony tracked and blended in the mix as well, it helps the leads sound fuller and the overall production sound bigger. In a studio situation you afford to layer numerous guitar parts and harmonies together. Obviously live you can’t do that so they simplify the arrangements and play the most important crucial parts. In a live situation Corey will play the main lead melodies when required (usually just the lower octave or harmony) and also his respective rhythm parts which will sometimes differ from Matt’s. I try to recreate all the studio recorded parts hence why there are multiple guitars playing it the same time.

@@curtiswardley6312 that's really interesting thank you for the insight. I've heard about this before about layered tracks, but wasn't sure how pulled it off live. It's amazing that they can adapt the songs to be able to play it live. They were due to play in the UK but it got postponed, I was gutted. Keep up the awesome work 👍

I don’t have to play Torn Between anymore? Phew good I’ve forgotten how to play that mf

Most guys who do covers don't play in one-take. It's all pre-recorded and patched together piece by piece through editing. That's how they get studio perfect takes. All the big cover channels do it, there are little to no exceptions. If you want the best quality, that's how you have to do it so I'm not blaming them. The only ones doing live takes these days are the guys still recording covers with their phone cameras propped up against a water bottle lol. You know for sure those guys are playing live. Everybody else with the super crisp and clear guitar audio that's been clearly mixed and EQ'ed and perfect execution of every single note and chord in the song no matter how complex with not a single instance of unwanted string noise or feedback at any point? Almost surely pre-recorded.

@@losferwords100 don’t get me wrong mate please don’t I’m not saying it’s bad in any way. Your a excellent player. Most covers I do I try to do them in one take. Well when I used to do covers. (Not on this channel) Doesn’t matter what other people are doing. What’s more impressive is when you can finish it and say fuck me I nailed that. If your happy doing it your way though. Crack on. As I said no disrespect at all. Was going to make one of this song as it’s a belter.

do you think the original was one take lol

NO FUCJING WAY

@@curtiswardley6312 yeah bro you should check them out. 🤘🏼

Bophades

Bophades nuts

@@curtiswardley6312 hahaha gottem!! anw sweet cover dude. cheers from singapore!

Bless you King I’ve been waiting for an opportunity for a bophades meme for a long time

Sorry mate, distortion is thick plus being heavily palm muted it was difficult to hear what was going on.

Bloody hell I just looked up a MKH playthrough of it he must have put out and wtf he does play something extra in there.

@@curtiswardley6312 Funny you bring that up, I feel the same way about that riff in the song. Sorry if it seemed a little nasty, text doesn't do tone well.

wot? What kind of person goes "ah this takes away from the original creator"? Anyone who watches this has already listened to the song and is looking for EXTRA CONTENT. Nobody is going "man can't wait to give this guy my 0.0001c instead of Heafy. Anyone listening to covers already supports the band. Everyone who watches Curtis slap out a cover within a day is here to appreciate how quickly Curtis learned it by ear and appreciate the complexity and skill within that. I myself don't cover songs but check out my channel for videos on why you should check yourself.

Don’t like it, don’t watch. Like when me and you mum are together

You’re right mate. This silly little video showing all the different guitar parts is surely stealing the limelight away from the original song release.. Trivium who? I hardly know her Matt Heafy is sitting there on his Twitch cursing my name because I dared to learn the song that same day it released and it’s ruined his bands success.

What the hell are you talking about? Curtis literally did the same thing the same day ITCOTD came out. And Matt reacted to it on his twitch channel and gave him a shout out! Clearly he’s fine with it lol

Tell me you don’t watch Matt Heafy’s videos without telling me you don’t want Matt Heafy’s videos. You’re an absolute joke an embarrassment trying to comment like you know anything about RU-vid or music revenue or Matt Heafy loving Curtis’ immediate covers. (Your covers are most certainly trash and they would be an embarrassment).
