Hey everyone, first post here so hope its a good one for you!

 

Totally blown away by this tune. Been waiting a long time for muse to release their next album so this came as a really nice surprise when i heard it out of the blue. In fact i liked it so much i HAD to do a guitar tutorial so people can play this at their next party and thought you guys might like to grab that axe and learn it!

 

I have done an in depth guitar lesson on the chords and solo for people interested in learning this one and impressing their mates and thought it would make a nice share on these here forums im sure a few of you are guitar nuts!

 

Its going live in about an hour (just uploading at the moment) so if you got a guitar and you love the song like me! then I look forward to teaching you it.

 

Thank you MUSE for re-introducing some proper rock for us guitarists to get our teeth into this year!

 

Rex

I accidentally posted my cover on the wrong thread at first so I'm just going to copy the post here:

 

 

OK, so I finally got the courage to upload my cover...I'm not sure if it should be on this thread or the Horrible Covers Thread, you'll be the judge of that :p But I decided to sing "Unintended" mainly because it's the only song I can play on guitar (I suck on guitar, I really do. I can't play a shit) But anyway, here it is:

This isn't bad at all. Maybe better recording quality is all we need for this to be a hit.

Here is my guitar cover of Survival! Hope you like it!

 

0Suu36L2T2U

Whoa, I think it's just the angle of the camera lens, but that makes it look like your guitar neck is curved!

 

 

Alright, like I said I would do a week or two ago, here's my full cover of Keane's 'Bend & Break':

 

[soundcloud]http://soundcloud.com/rayfan9876-absolution/keane-bend-break-full-cover[/soundcloud]

All parts and mixing/producing by me blablablah made in Logic Pro blablah.

 

I didn't upload it to YouTube because, even though the song is in E, I decided to put it in F just because I could. I can hit the high Bb (originally A), just not as well as I'd like, and I usually only put my best stuff on YouTube. I wanted to push myself, even though those higher notes are a bit shaky - ahah, lets just say I'm being Keane on their early live performances. I'm not referring to the first chorus though, since I did that in falsetto. The rest of the song is normal.

 

I also apologise, the vocals I also couldn't get fitting in the mix properly, so they might 'stand out,' or so to say. The instrumental mix though I think is my best yet (look at that sexy tight waveform)!

 

EDIT:

 

WHAT THE FUCK did Soundcloud do to my high frequencies? They sound all garbled and they lost their sacred glossiness. Bah. If you want to hear the proper mix, you can download a 320kbs version here, instead of the dreaded 128kbs Soundcloud version: http://www.mediafire.com/?94jlk2dqosg4kos

Haha you make it sound like I'm famous, thanks man. That means a lot to me.

 

Philam, your survival cover is excellent. I would say though that sometimes your tone can sound a liiitle 'fake'... What do you use amps and fx wise?

Well, I use Line 6 gear, which probably explains that haha. My Line 6 Spider III 75 is where the bulk of my tone comes from.

 

 

 

This should be the final reupload: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wskkLGAsu8Y

Why so many reuploads?

 

I was always dissatisfied.

 

Is cool, but why'd you have to do seperate takes for the solo?

 

I liked the way it sounded better. I had to toggle the whammy for the octave effect also and I thought it'd be easier overall. I think Matt does it all on one track for the actual song.

But it's not that hard to turn a Whammy on and off :erm: Was a good cover but I thought doing that was just taking the easy way out

I see what you mean. In the original song, if you listen to the first phrase after the Ab octave riff, the last note ends on the same beat where you would slide down for the start of the riff. Without having an actual bass player, this means I have to either slide from the top note the solo - which sounds awful - or skip the first note of the riff. This causes a really awkward sound gap that would've made me reupload even more :)

I have a quick question for you guys. I will be uploading drum covers soon, but I have no idea what editing software to use. It would be great to have it for free. What programs to you use to edit/sync audio and video.

 

Audacity is free and works really well for audio stuff (it doesn't have any effects you can apply to the track though) As for video and such, Imovie is a good bet if you've got a mac
