Very cool. I need to look into mimicking guitar sounds since I don't do it nearly enough. Really liked how 5:13, 10:06, and 10:14 sounds Always flattering that people want to play my songs. 🙂
Yay! I think your songs are better with the synth sound rather than fake guitar sounds though; those usually sound like a MIDI file being played back by Windows
Well they aren't "fake" guitar sounds. I'm running real guitar sounds through an amp (RealStrat through Amplitube 3) but I don't play real guitar so I'm not really experienced on how to make it sound "proper". The only song I can think of where I really use this though is Amalgamation. Most of my songs are pure synth as you said.
As someone who plays guitar I'd honestly say that FCing something like Soulless 4 might actually be harder in GH3 than on a real guitar, because on GH3 you have to be literally perfect, whereas this cover is really far from perfect, its just that it's close to the point where almost no one woukd ever be able to pick up the occasional missed notes
HalfDuck .....If you make Soulless 2 listenable....you will be forever hailed as a god among men. EDIT: Wait, Dragonforce edition? That is NOT what the comment said before. What are you planning?......Dis gon be good.
I only heard hollow for the first time 2 months after duck posted his soulless 3 cover and I’ve never been more upset I didn’t vote for it before listening
As a guitar player, I believe this proves the opposite. I'm pretty sure he's playing less notes at least on some of the parts and sometimes playing the notes not exactly as charted. Not that it takes away from the song. It still sounds good.
@PS3Harrison, I got a few questions but I'll just bring a specific example up. So 9:35 is charted correctly to the FL Studio file? The orange and blue notes seem similar to the green drone note that each note returns to in the Through the Fire and Flames intro that isn't really there but it's charted for lols.
Jesus Christ I wonder! Check this video out, it shows S3 isn't overcharted: th-cam.com/video/TnIXY0iLwf8/w-d-xo.html That part is really the most confusing for me, the chart is still killer imo
@@jesuschrist5417 I know this comment thread is super fucking old but yeah it's blatantly obvious that what's being played on the guitar does not correspond to the ingame chart. Look at 9:51, yeah, I'm sure the rapid tremolo picking in the chart is exactly the same as the tapping he's doing on the real guitar. I swear people are either deaf or know nothing about real guitar/music theory when they adamantly maintain "See, that was exactly as the chart was!"
I love the genre blend that's happening here. Sometimes you're DragonForce, sometimes you're Metallica, sometimes you're that one rock band that sounded really really cool in 7th grade, and sometimes you're "Epic Castlevania Guitar Medley". Good stuff.
100K Views! That's crazy, I never expected that many :) And comments from Acai and exile! Something about Soulless 4 is really addicting.. Anyway, I made my first actual original custom GH song, check it out if you like (I hope to just get better at it in the future) - th-cam.com/video/D7FbR_1Wf54/w-d-xo.html
if you look closely you can see that around 9:40 the footage is actually spliced, meaning this FC is null and void. i can point out these things because I'm really really smart
They say that Megapeng started playing real guitar, it all makes sense now... Seriously though, great job dude! Looking forward for possible Soulless 2 cover. Also one great GH custom that would be neat on real guitar would be Victory Solo X, hope to see that some day :D
I know this is super late but there's a guitar tab on Ultimate Guitar. Good luck though as that one is not remotely "Undercharted" and some of the licks in that are impossible to even read let alone play.
I really don't understand how it's possible not to like this. It's absolutely fucking amazing. I didn't know your channel but I'm really without words, particularly for this video. Congratulations 🙇

Idk why but I always personally liked the part at 2:01 it’s just cool and to hear it on a real guitar is so so so awesome, massive props to you for making it happen!
Bruh this song couldn’t be anything except final boss music in some fantasy rpg game. I could not stop envisioning some insane final boss fight while listening to this.
Holy FUCK dude this is so perfect. Your playing is also flawless. I never thought someone would be so out of his mind to actually transcribe this to a real guitar lol
Man this was dope. Listened to the whole thing at least four or five times now. I am really curious to know your rig and your setup used in this video!
Now the ultimate meme would be porting this over to Rocksmith and having Halsb FC it before anyone can FC it on Guitar Hero. That would be the ultimate meme.
honestly. I suppose you learned to play this by ear. and it's... well, pretty long y'know? 12 minutes it's a lot of things to learn... i've been playing guitar for about 7 years I think, and I don't think I can learn rn a 12 minutes song without losing my mind so yeah, aside from the amazing cover, 100% respect for your consistency
Thank you :) I got lazy with some parts and kinda played my own thing instead of learning it. Soulless 5 is 18 minutes long and I did that one pretty much note for note almost haha
I can make it in rocksmith if i get tabs and a mp3, im not gonna tab it out myself from the video, i used to make a lot of songs on customforge and some of the highly rated once
ACAI FC'D IT
OH YEAH BOIS
After 1 year... this is amazing.
YEAAAAAAHHHHH
Nerves = imagined
quality content
LMFAO THE INTRO
wassup brown man
It's the most difficult part
HalfDuck do you play gh? lol. by the way this is insane man
He nailed machinations A and the breaker solo transition in the same run...
I loaded up GH1 last month and 5 starred all the songs, I think that's as far as my abilities go lol
Very cool. I need to look into mimicking guitar sounds since I don't do it nearly enough. Really liked how 5:13, 10:06, and 10:14 sounds
Always flattering that people want to play my songs. 🙂
Yay! I think your songs are better with the synth sound rather than fake guitar sounds though; those usually sound like a MIDI file being played back by Windows
Soulless 4 remastered confirmed lmao
ExileLord x HalfDuck collab?
Well they aren't "fake" guitar sounds. I'm running real guitar sounds through an amp (RealStrat through Amplitube 3) but I don't play real guitar so I'm not really experienced on how to make it sound "proper". The only song I can think of where I really use this though is Amalgamation. Most of my songs are pure synth as you said.
Do that for soulless 5
Now I can feel justified when I'm at a concert, and I yell to the band "PLAY SOULLESS 4"
Hakuna Matata lmao
It would require at least 2 guitarists live
Don't give DragonForce any ideas 😂
Lmao I would do this 100%

Nerves have been imagined.
When Guitar Hero got so hard that real guitar is more easily FC'able.
dunno, maybe
Wrong. The intro is harder in real life trust me.
This dude has probably been playing guitar for 10+ years.
In what way is this easier?
Zack nah
Acai said this is not fcable. Someone is lying here.
Everything is fcable..
BUT...ACAI SAID...
Acai did -10 he lied when he said cant FC
As someone who plays guitar I'd honestly say that FCing something like Soulless 4 might actually be harder in GH3 than on a real guitar, because on GH3 you have to be literally perfect, whereas this cover is really far from perfect, its just that it's close to the point where almost no one woukd ever be able to pick up the occasional missed notes
Also it looks like he did this in multiple takes spliced together
People are gonna say he used a bot...
i know
For the gameplay? Or real life
he fingered the bot, picked on the bot, pulled and hammered the bot bro
He didn’t use a bot...he IS the bot
no, he was splicing
SOULLESS 5 IS IN THE WORKS YO BOIIIIII.
Edit: It's here - th-cam.com/video/hB8mOIEXhpU/w-d-xo.html

HalfDuck next mission aquired
GET ON THAT SHIT B

Omg that's gonna be insane
Holy shit! They made guitar hero into a real thing?!

_wooosh_
Jacob Saur yeah called rocksmith dumbass
McKale Dean r/wooosh
So much wooosh in this comment chain
LonttuGamer r/whooooash
Now you just need The8BitDrummer's isolated track and someone to play it on bass for a proper metal cover lmao
Jerod really needs to get in on this!
And then get Miscellany to chart it
Davie504?
Could get Jason to play bass...
NightmareSnake But Jason adamantly refuses to play bleep bloop songs :^)
If Buckethead Wrote Soulless 4
I'm halfway done with Soulless 2: DragonForce edition, and it's sounding utterly ridiculous #realmusic
HalfDuck Tabs when?
HalfDuck .....If you make Soulless 2 listenable....you will be forever hailed as a god among men.

What about soulless 3
It'll be up either tomorrow or the day after
Awesome

Nice pic
I kept repeating, "this is so cool" throughout the entire video
FC'ed. 😮
Footage by helgabot ^^
Not only did you make a cover of soulless 4, you made it sound EPIC. Especially Fatalism. Wow.
DragonForce tapping patterns are my favourite :P
When does the Fatalism part come in?
ZeldaACFan17 3:26
Yo I was thinking about making a bass cover to this song so I guess I don’t have an excuse not too now
Do it, thensomeoe will make s drum part , then a piano part THEN WE MIX ALL THE PARTS AND GET AN AMAZING COVER
No i
no
bet
I DO DRUMS
I know why I like this so much better than the original, you gave the souless a soul. Something about real electric guitar that just gives it life.
soulful 1
There are stems now. Go ahead lol
@MageBurger Wouldnt it be Soul 4?
Hollow would be sick.
MistaTwoJeffreyTwenty Yaay omg that end strumming would be fucking insane lol
Or Misadventure, they're both really good
I only heard hollow for the first time 2 months after duck posted his soulless 3 cover and I’ve never been more upset I didn’t vote for it before listening
Pretty sure this proves anyone who thinks the gh song is overcharted is wrong. This song is insanely hard to play irl. Props man, Loved the song
As a guitar player, I believe this proves the opposite. I'm pretty sure he's playing less notes at least on some of the parts and sometimes playing the notes not exactly as charted. Not that it takes away from the song. It still sounds good.
I mean hes playing less notes/not playing exactly as charted because this song "wasnt intended to be played by humans" - ExileLord2018
@PS3Harrison, I got a few questions but I'll just bring a specific example up. So 9:35 is charted correctly to the FL Studio file? The orange and blue notes seem similar to the green drone note that each note returns to in the Through the Fire and Flames intro that isn't really there but it's charted for lols.
Jesus Christ
I wonder! Check this video out, it shows S3 isn't overcharted: th-cam.com/video/TnIXY0iLwf8/w-d-xo.html
That part is really the most confusing for me, the chart is still killer imo
@@jesuschrist5417 I know this comment thread is super fucking old but yeah it's blatantly obvious that what's being played on the guitar does not correspond to the ingame chart. Look at 9:51, yeah, I'm sure the rapid tremolo picking in the chart is exactly the same as the tapping he's doing on the real guitar.
I swear people are either deaf or know nothing about real guitar/music theory when they adamantly maintain "See, that was exactly as the chart was!"
I have something special planned for this if I get around to it. ;)
Ooooh
Do I smell a chart coming for this?
Uninvited Guest Someone needs to make a guitar cover of the chart of the guitar cover (if that's what it is)
something a bit better :P
Get better at THPSU2 first
I love the genre blend that's happening here. Sometimes you're DragonForce, sometimes you're Metallica, sometimes you're that one rock band that sounded really really cool in 7th grade, and sometimes you're "Epic Castlevania Guitar Medley". Good stuff.

HalfDuck you deserve more subs and views, your content is enjoyable and amazing
i bet half of them are me! XD
could you post tabs for this please
Great vid man! But i just noticed that you played a couple of sections wrong but.....ahhh small details
Lol yeah, it'd be cool to do a 100% accurate version one day, this one was rushed
Nice elbow strum at 5:12
2:46 the tapping for this section looks almost identical to how you would tap it on guitar hero, it's nice to see that the chart is accurate
No head. Epic guitar skills. The Dooo has a brother 🤤🤤
This is awesome though dude😏
WeirdyBeardy Stuff u cant compare him to TheDooo
if you look closely you can see that around 9:40 the footage is actually spliced, meaning this FC is null and void. i can point out these things because I'm really really smart
bellusdaisy also look at 12:42
@@genericthepyromain1745 i fell for it XD
s2 when
In a few weeks I thiink. People suggested a bunch of different customs so I put a poll at the end of the vid. But probably Soulless 2.
hell yea
HalfDuck yeah soulless 2 would be awesome, that would be my pick
Beeeew
This is unreal. Probably the best video I’ve seen in a very very long time. Awesome stuff man 1+ sub

VICTORY SOLO X OMG WHOEVER SAID THAT, YES I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT ONE DAY!!!
strangely enough, this puts a great perespective on just how brutal steping solo B is
can we start a petition to replace Soulless 4 with this?
They say that Megapeng started playing real guitar, it all makes sense now...
Seriously though, great job dude! Looking forward for possible Soulless 2 cover. Also one great GH custom that would be neat on real guitar would be Victory Solo X, hope to see that some day :D
Yeah VSX! Maybe it'll even bring back Schmutz06.
Can we get some tabs? >.>
I'm making a tab for Soulless 2 as I'm learning it, with the aim of making it somewhat playable in one take :)
HalfDuck GOAT
I know this is super late but there's a guitar tab on Ultimate Guitar. Good luck though as that one is not remotely "Undercharted" and some of the licks in that are impossible to even read let alone play.
This is masterful in so many ways, you sir have so much skills on this instrument. I am looking forward to more revisions like this!
Is it bad that I've listened to this twice a day for the past month? probably
not
A few suggestions:
Ode to insanity
Battle Storm
Universes
Great job, dude!
Thanks, I didn't realise there were so many :P
UNIVERSES PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEEEEE
HalfDuck Heroes of War please
OMG, he better do Ode to Insanity
Omnispace16 boy do i second heroes of war
1:45-2:30 will always be my favorite part of this song
8:17 the slide, what a legend
This was so satisfying to watch and the distortion for this is perfect, would love to see more from you man keep up the fine guitaring! \m/
3:56 TTFAF intro?
X5ync how the hell is that ttfaf it sounds nothing like that
Inceptionz just think it as an acoustic/clean sound then it would sound pretty much like it.
X5ync hmm I guess your right
ExileLord, was that intentional?
BluCoolKnux In the oringinal, it didnt sound like that.
HD added it in.
I really don't understand how it's possible not to like this. It's absolutely fucking amazing. I didn't know your channel but I'm really without words, particularly for this video. Congratulations 🙇
Thank you a lot :) I guess the guitar tone could be a little bit better haha, I've been working on it recently
Omg he hit stepping solo b to breaker transition!!!
Damn.. I really thought one million was possible :(
basically FC in Rocksmith 2014
btw, great guitar play. In freaking dying look how awesome is this
I really need an tab from 1:45, sounds so sick
Its right there though??
the way the guitar syncs with the throwback section is beautiful
This is amazing! I love how it just goes with it! You should definitely try Soulless 2! :)

I can't remember if I said it previously, but holy balls Fatalism A and B sound SO GOOD on actual guitar.
At the gym listening to this. What has my life become. So sick man, love every bit of this!!!
Woah, that's actually a cool idea lol. Most intense workout song
Idk why but I always personally liked the part at 2:01 it’s just cool and to hear it on a real guitar is so so so awesome, massive props to you for making it happen!
Rock band 3 : Soulless 4 FC pro guitar
Synthetic verse has got to be one of the best parts of this cover, amazing job
Thanks, yup it's very synthetic
only a tech FC Kappa
(gg tho absolutely amazing)
was looking for this comment
This is a great track. Epic and filthy. A lot of Rammstein feel to it in places, and Dragon Force, and Power Metal in general.
Imagine the nerves.
Woah, guitar hero invented an instrument! That’s insane what guitar hero was able to do during its lifespan
most underrated gh player ever tbh Kappa
table
HalfDuck now I hate you Kappa
It's damn well fitting that STepping Solo B is the angriest sounding part of this song on a guitar. Great shit.
I'm actually really happy you have video for the whole song this time :D
Bruh this song couldn’t be anything except final boss music in some fantasy rpg game. I could not stop envisioning some insane final boss fight while listening to this.
THERE ARE NO WORDS ON GOD’S GREEN EARTH THAT CAN EXPLAIN HOW SPECTACULARLY ERECT I AM
Holy FUCK dude this is so perfect. Your playing is also flawless. I never thought someone would be so out of his mind to actually transcribe this to a real guitar lol
Damn you should have just kept playing your real guitar like the beginning 0:10
this is so impressive man thank you so much I’ve always wondered what this would sound like. You’re insanely talented bro
This is so accurate its scary.... your a god dude
Somebody NEEDS to make a chart of this!!! This is the best sounding version of Soulless 4 by far!!
Plumato made one, and thanks
I found it. I will download it later.
This is goals.
0:17 don't mind me, just leaving this here so I can loop this video forever
How long did it take you to figure out how to convert this from bleep bloop to actual guitar? It must've been hellish
Not super long, just a case of figuring out the patterns, then finding a way to make it playable enough to record
Id bet. Shits crazy, well done
VeMM0 yeah he probably went through exile's hell to get this lol get it?
Jabooty247 Eyyyyyyyyyyy fingerguns
VeMM0 lol
Amazing work. You made the Stepping B/Breaker transition (9:25-9:35) look like nothing.
No random strums required + a much larger timing window makes it a lot easier :P
You just made Soulless 4 a million times better. I'm actually so fucking impressed.
Thanks :) If I knew it was gonna get this much attention, I'd have spent a little more time getting the mix right, the guitar could be a bit louder
HalfDuck I actually agree with increasing the volume.
Imagine the nerves, fc’ing past machinations a
0:04 same
yep very
Such a variety of tones yet so clean. You are amazing
The synth doubling everything I play kinda hides the sloppiness a bit :p
Man this was dope. Listened to the whole thing at least four or five times now. I am really curious to know your rig and your setup used in this video!
This is still one of the most incredible covers I’ve ever seen
Shady cicada intro hahaha
'How to make a GH bleep bloop song in 5 minutes or less'
Now the ultimate meme would be porting this over to Rocksmith and having Halsb FC it before anyone can FC it on Guitar Hero. That would be the ultimate meme.
OI M8 U GOTTA LOICENSE FOR THAT GUITAR SOLO?
Now to get a guitar battle going. HalfDuck vs TheDooo
2X speed
honestly.
I suppose you learned to play this by ear.
and it's... well, pretty long y'know? 12 minutes it's a lot of things to learn...
i've been playing guitar for about 7 years I think, and I don't think I can learn rn a 12 minutes song without losing my mind
so yeah, aside from the amazing cover, 100% respect for your consistency
Thank you :) I got lazy with some parts and kinda played my own thing instead of learning it. Soulless 5 is 18 minutes long and I did that one pretty much note for note almost haha
Now it's time for the ultimate challenge Souless 4 Rocksmith edition you up for that Halfduck
This would be cool as fuck, doable too
Someone make a rocksmith edition please
Make it for guitar on Rocksmith...
Then transpose it for bass.
and make different difficulties so 99% of us can actually play it on like 5% difficulty kthx
I can make it in rocksmith if i get tabs and a mp3, im not gonna tab it out myself from the video, i used to make a lot of songs on customforge and some of the highly rated once
3:25 is my favorite part
Thanks :)
Is very nice
Fatalism is a banger🥶🥶🥶
You know what this would be great with? *MOAR BASS*
this ain't an fc, he spliced it
Shut the fuck up
lol
Seeing this makes me think that the Soulless series should be on Rocksmith if it isn't already
nice meme
will do memes 4 viewz
That stepping to breaker transition was beautiful
im trying so hard not to look those long peace of shits aka your uncutted guitar string thats discusting but fucking cool at the same time
Unclipped strings and hands the size of Australian spiders.....the signs of a true shred god.
LOVED the mercy segment! Especially when it gets to the higher tone!
Welp I have found an end goal for learning gutair, let's get this bread boys start small end souless
this is how Soulless 4 would be in a Guitar Hero Official Game, or Rock Band Expert Pro Guitar Song
