Hey people! I wanted to get this one done before I say a temporary farewell to my guitars for about a year. I'm going to Japan to study, and will probably not have the means to do more songs until I'm back.
There are 4 guitar tracks in most parts of this song, and each one has a dedicated place in the window. The exception is at the very end, where sharp-eared individuals might hear two tracks I couldn't fit on the video.
I only used my Ibanez RG270DX on this one, mostly in order to show off my green strings (which didn't really show that much, but you can see them if you squint), but also since this was a bit harder than the other songs I've done, and I still play better on my Ibanez than on the Gibson.
The audio is as usual recorded through my trusty POD X3 Live. I used Cubase for the samples, the drums, while the bass and mixing was done in Sony ACID 5.0. The video editing was done in Sony Vegas 10.
The video was incredibly frustrating to record. Since I'm going away I've stowed away most off my stuff, and I accidentaly did so with my webcam. That meant the only options I had was my shit laptop cam, and my digital camera. So I used the latter, where I would have to transfer the files via memory card. And the thing runs on batteries well, so I had to recharge those when I had the chance. More than once I had to scrap a take because the battery was dead. Ugh.
I'm not including a list of what-song-starts-when, since frankly, I don't really know the names of the songs. I know the last one is the title theme, if anyone knows the names of the rest (if they have any) please tell me, and I'll update this.
This song uses standard E tuning, which for those of are you who interested but for some reason don't know is:
e
B
G
D
A
E
All in all, I'm pleased with how this one came out. It was a bit stressing to do this right before I'm off to Japan, but I really wanted it done. Big thanks to the kind reviews I've gotten for my other covers, and to those of you with suggestions: you never know if a suggestion might sway my choice for the next cover. I do take all suggestions in consideration when I choose the next song, only most suggestions usually are from myself.
