Mournful Congregation "The Indwelling Ascent" - Video Demo
Today, the 23rd of March, 2018 is the worldwide release of "The Incubus of Karma" by Mournful Congregation. To mark this momentous occasion, I've decided to share a video demo of where it all began for me. On the 25th of August, 2013 I recorded a video demo for the introduction to the album, now known as "The Indwelling Ascent", which set the tone for things to come. The original working title for our 5th album was "The Rubaiyat", the title given to a collection of poetry attributed to the Astronomer-Poet of Persia, Omar Khayyam. The Rubaiyat utilized stanzas of four lines known as Quatrains. With this knowledge, I composed the 2-note melodic phrase with a delayed response to mimic the Quatrain as you hear in this demo recorded 5-years ago. The working title for the introduction was named "Proemium", which simply means a preface or introduction. It's been a long journey to arrive at The Incubus of Karma but alas, a journey worth taking. //JAH

Aphonic Threnody "Lies" - Video Demo

In this video, I recorded a demo version for the intended intro solo to the song "Lies", which I feel really captures an atmosphere that worked with the music perfectly. My guitar parts w...

Guitar Shop Demo 2 - Gibson 1957 Les Paul True Historic 2016 (Goldtop)

I decided to upload a new guitar shop demo, this time featuring a Gibson Les Paul '57 True Historic 2016 "Goldtop", which was the very first time I played a True Historic series custom shop Gibson. I was really taken back by the vintage tone and feel of this amazing Les Paul and the response to note articulation was unbelievable!

The finale on Mournful Congregation's 2005 album The Monad of Creation reveals a variety of solo parts played on no less than 3 different guitars. The epic 20-minute title track is quite dynamic and intimate at times with multiple tempo shifts and time signatures. Originally recorded on 21 November, 2003 (Distort Solo) & 7 October, 2004 (Acoustic Parts) & finally revisited again here on 25 May,...

This time I've chosen to revisit the epic doom-laden beast that is "Mother - Water, The Great Sea Wept" by Mournful Congregation.

    Beautiful piece, Justin! Been hearing you guys for a few years (you are my favorite band ever) and last year I bought a bass -- I've been learning some of your tunes (more specifically, "The Monad of Creation" and "A Slow March to the Burial"). Is there by any chance the possibility of getting the bass tabs for the "The Rubayiat"? Thank you guys for creating such beautiful works! \m/

    Now that The Monad of Creation album is completed, I will take a look into more recent material from Mournful Congregation and some of my other recordings along the way. Once again all electric guitar parts are in Ab Standard Tuning (4 Steps Down) & the acoustic is in standard tuning. Both tunings are detailed in previous videos. I hope that you are inspired by this not only as a guitarist but as a composer or song writer who wants to express something different yet striking. //JAH

    Originally recorded on 21 November, 2003 & performed at almost every Mournful Congregation show since we started playing live on the 24 January, 2009! The first melodic solo still gives me goose bumps whenever I play it due to the lilting inflections and the intensity of the moment in the song. The complex bridge section has some of the most memorable melodies I have ever recorded. The clean tone allows for dynamics & feel, which is complimented by the heavy section that follows. The final section is immensely anthemic highlighting an unabashed display of harmonized guitar interplay. This song uses the standard Mournful Congregation tuning (tuning notes can be located in the "Loveless Rain" instructional) with no added effects outside of valve amp distortion, reverb & clean channel. We used a Hughes & Kettner TriAmp I on The Monad of Creation album through a Peavey quad box for our main tone. A Jackson Kelly was the main guitar used to record also. //JAH

    Originally recorded on 7 October, 2004 & finally performed again here on 11 May, 2015 - 10 years, 7 months & 4 days later! We've never really played one of our acoustic pieces live in Mournful Congregation but if there was a choice, this would be on the top of my list. I used a Maton 6-String Acoustic for my parts, which were recorded 10½ months after the original guitar session at Mixmasters Studio in Adelaide, South Australia. This song is in standard tuning for all guitar parts throughout. The lighting was a little dull in this video due to the overcast weather we've been having. A perfect reflective day for doom! //JAH

    Originally recorded on 21 November, 2003 & finally performed again here on 7 May, 2015 - 11 years, 5 months & 16 days later! We've never performed Loveless Rain live, so there was no need to have it memorized. I had to re-learn it by transcribing my parts on Guitar Pro, practicing it on a 24-fret guitar in Ab & then finally I recorded the video before editing it for TH-cam. Apologies for the slight tuning problems, which was a result of restringing a floating bridge guitar moments before recording! Not to mention the complications of tuning down to Ab standard alone! //JAH

      Do you run into a lot of intonation issues tuning this low on standard scale guitars? It seems like it would be a challenge especially with all of the multi-guitar harmonies in your music. What string gauge to you use?
