Nice job man! Taproot is my favorite band, you should do some more covers by them. I struggle to figure out some of thier songs. Thier older stuff had some weird chords and odd time signatures.
Yeah, surprisingly I'm finding a lot of Taproot songs aren't that simple to pick out by ear. I tried learning Mine and the first chord took 10 minutes to figure out the shape and then I couldn't be bothered to learn the rest lol. Songs sound simple, but they're really not.
Nicely done! You cover all the songs that got me into rock/metal growing up and I love it. If you’re feeling more Taproot, you ought to give Calling a whirl!
every time I think of a great song with a killer riff to suggest, you already got it covered. what I want to know now is where can I buy your music?...you obviously have a s***load of talent.
Thanks! Definitely a yes to Switched. In fact, I was going to do Inside and then didn't for whatever reason, I don't remember. I haven't listened to Injected in forever but they're also a possibility.
What are you using to record your guitar input? Looks like you aren't using a a pedal to switch from more of the cleaner sound to distorted. It sounds really good, great stuff man!!
Awesome cover. I was wondering if you still remember the amp settings because I cannot find them anywhere since this band is practically non-existent lol.
Actually, they use a 7 string tuned to A Standard with the G string dropped a half stef to an E, as you demonstrated, it can clearly be played on a 6 string, but they use the 7 to get that specific tone, still an amazing cover as usual though!
Nah, he uses a 6-string baritone, Taproot's never used 7-strings. This is the video I remember watching to learn it where you can see, he's clearly playing a 6-string in A Standard: th-cam.com/video/WXmNYjA8qkA/w-d-xo.html
MysticGuitar77 at live shows they do, but on the original recording they used an Ibanez K7, it was the only song they ever used a 7 string on, but they only recorded it with a 7 string, they play it live with a baritone 6 string
@@matthewhale9831 Huh, never knew that. I've always ever seen him with the 6-string. Most of Welcome is in A Standard, it's a little odd that only that one they recorded with a 7-string.
I use 13-59 on this guitar. It's a 7-string set of 10's just without the high E. It's a semi-baritone though so it holds better tension. I use 12-56 on the Lowery SE but I don't go lower than Drop A# on it.
Curious about how the tuning goes? Also iv been playing this song wrong for years lol thanks for the video!!! Ive learned a bunch of songs just by watching your videos!
ADGCEA for a 6-string, ADGCFAD for a 7-string. I played it in ADGCFA which is like a hybrid of the two. It just changes the chord shape in the main riff a little bit. You can also easily play it in Drop A like most people do. For this particular song, it doesn't make a difference since it's all power chords anyway.
Where did you figure out to play it or do I gotta play song at half speed to figure it out lol there’s a few videos on TH-cam but I watched the music video closely your the only one playing it right the way the guitar player plays it.
How do you know the tuning if you learn songs by ear? I (barely) play bass and that is where i struggle....knowing when it is clearly in a different tuning and not insanely hard in standard tuning
In most cases, the lowest note/chord in the song will give away what it's tuned to or at least give you the starting point. It also helps to have some knowledge of the band and what they usually tune to. Tabs can be a good reference for this or watching live videos to see where they're fretting
@@MysticGuitar77 thank you. Your covers are great! Listen the song, called "Like" by Taproot. It has no distortion, but riff is interesting. It has the same tuning.
It's played in A Standard (ADGCEA). I played it in A Standard but as if it were on a 7-string so instead of the 2nd string being E, I tuned it to F. Just changes the shape of that one chord and other than that you don't even use the 2 high strings. You can play it in Drop A too like most people do but if you wanna play it like Taproot does, then it's in A Standard.
@@queencrimson9604 Lots of little differences. This one's a semi-baritone for lower tunings, Hellraiser has a standard 25.5" scale. Also has passive pickups as opposed to actives like the Hellraiser. Slimmer profile than the Hellraiser too.
@@tp3821 I do add some EQ, but very little. Pretty much just a low pass/high pass filter. Sometimes I don't even do that if the raw mic sounds good enough. Tube amps are like that, they sound different from day to day. I also just bought a mic mixer but I haven't really utilized it yet.
Classic song. Experimented with some new tones in this one, nothing too crazy though. Enjoy!
MysticGuitar77 you should do ‘Release Me’ next if you want to keep doing Taproot
Where do you get your tones??
The best cover of this song on YT great job!
My favorite Taproot's song! 🤘👊🏻❤
Que temazo, ya con este video podre tocarlo bien

This is one song I've been wanting to learn for a long time. You did a great job, can't wait to try and play this!!
Thanks man!
Always choose the best songs dude!
He does!! Always stuff I love.
Appreciate it!!
My friends dad was the drummer for taproot his name is jarred Montague
Awesome cover!
nice throwback !!!!
More throwbacks coming too, trust me lol.
loving this

Great song!
Indeed!
that guitar looks more beautiful every time i see it

very pleasing tone on this one, nice cover dude
Awesome covers bro. Hey if you could, cover "The Reflection by Trust Company
I'll add it to the list!
Excellent cover! Ever thought of doing something like “Inside” by Switched or “Burn It Black” by Injected?
Thanks! Definitely a yes to Switched. In fact, I was going to do Inside and then didn't for whatever reason, I don't remember. I haven't listened to Injected in forever but they're also a possibility.
Great Playing 🤘🏼
Nicely done! How about "Everything" or "Sumtimes" for the next Taproot cover? Or "Smile"?
What are you using to record your guitar input? Looks like you aren't using a a pedal to switch from more of the cleaner sound to distorted. It sounds really good, great stuff man!!
I like the computer light or whatever it is causing the blue on the bottom of the guitar
That would be the MXR 10-band EQ pedal. Them LED's are bright as hell lol.
MysticGuitar77 well it looks awesome! I wonder if something can be done in a custom guitar to have an underlaid glow.
which model is this guitar
Damn your recording equipment has gotten so much better now lol but still such a dope ass cover
Nice TraCK Nice SoUNd dude!!!
Thanks!
Very nice what’s the tuning
A Standard
That explains why I was tabbing it in drop A i was close

What gauge strings do you use? I used a 12-60 on my SE Lowery for A standard but feels a bit flimsy though😅

Hi! Which strings should I use to standard A tuning? It is on your guitar. I am looking for 13-62 strings now.
13-59. I just use a 7-string set of 10's and leave off the high E. This guitar is a baritone so it doesn't need as big of gauges to tune low.
@@MysticGuitar77 thank you. Your covers are great! Listen the song, called "Like" by Taproot. It has no distortion, but riff is interesting. It has the same tuning.
Another band I need to check out! You found a loyal subscriber from Franconia/🇩🇪!!
Face reveal @ 10k? 🤔😁
I've already kinda revealed my face many times though lol. I've got something else planned for 10k, stay tuned. ;)
All the tabs I find all say Drop A. Is the true album tuning A Standard?
You can easily play it in Drop A as well, most people do, but if you want to play it like Taproot does, it's in A Standard.
You should do Coward by Black Light Burns
Cool, pliz : a day to remember
Wut tuning u usin man ive seen like 4 diffrent tunings people used

Is that tuning in A?
A Standard, yep.
What guitar are you using?
Schecter Blackjack SLS C-1 EX-P
Thx. How different is this guitar to the hellraiser? I‘m thinking of buying the hellraiser but I‘m only 6 months in
@@queencrimson9604 Lots of little differences. This one's a semi-baritone for lower tunings, Hellraiser has a standard 25.5" scale. Also has passive pickups as opposed to actives like the Hellraiser. Slimmer profile than the Hellraiser too.
Is everything quad tracked?
I only doubletrack
MysticGuitar77 100% L and 100% R?
@@tp3821 Yep, all main rhythm tracks I hard-pan L and R and then any overdubs I usually put in at 70%.
MysticGuitar77 How do you make it sound so “full”? I’m just starting out and I was wondering if you add anything like EQ on your Guitar Tracks
@@tp3821 I do add some EQ, but very little. Pretty much just a low pass/high pass filter. Sometimes I don't even do that if the raw mic sounds good enough. Tube amps are like that, they sound different from day to day. I also just bought a mic mixer but I haven't really utilized it yet.
