DESCRIPTION:
I guess this is one of their more accessible songs. The solo is more challenging than it sounds since it's basically composed of a large number of kind of incoherent phrases, so you have to switch positions and style a lot. Also it's very hard to hear what's being played, and in some places I had to basically come up with something myself. Still I love the chord progression and it's one of the more memorable solos of theirs.

Youtube's downsampling from 50 fps might make the video look time-stretched - switch to the higher settings at 50 fps and it should look more natural!

It's in C-standard because it's simply too much of a hassle to go from my regular tuning, C-standard, to E-standard with all the balancing, intonation etc. that is required, just for one or two covers.

It was recorded January 30 using a Shure SM57 (angled very slightly, aimed at the center of the left bottom speaker) through an E-MU 0404 USB 2.0 audio interface.

The video was recorded using a Sony HX100V, edited using Sony Vegas Pro 13.0 x64 and rendered as a 1920x1080 50p (same as the original footage) MP4 video using 2 reference frames, "High", 14 Mbps CBR, CUDA-encoded, with 48 kHz and 384 kbps audio. In Vegas, I added some high-pass EQ to the rhythm guitars, as well as some reverb to the lead guitars.

I used the Guitar Pro tab at (but I had to figure out most of the solo myself):
