I've been planning on doing this one for months! I'm glad I finally got a chance to do it, and I also got my friends DisposedHeroVGM and Sumask to lend their talents for it, so special thanks to them for doing some excellent shredding on this one!

I've had the idea for how I wanted to arrange this cover for a few months, so that part went by pretty quickly. The main part I knew I wanted to do for sure is the long ending part, that is really just the riff from the last section of the original song, but slowed down and transposed down from B minor to F# minor. I based that whole section on the end of a couple Dream Theater songs (namely The Dark Eternal Night and S2N) that have this sludgy riff going by with a keyboard solo on top. This one ended up being some keyboard and guitar, but I think I still pulled off that kind of vibe pretty well (with Sumask's help of course!)

This is the second video I've done with my green screen, and I'm still not entirely sure about whether I like it or not. I'm definitely not super good at using it properly yet; there's some unavoidable artifacts in the video (mostly just small outlines and the very edges of my instruments disappearing a tiny bit), but it's still very watchable. I also tried using my webcam for recording instead of my phone, although I'll probably go back to my phone because the quality is a bit better, and I'll probably have better results with the green screen now that I know how to film it better than the first time. Trying to edit myself into the rooms of my contributors who don't use green screens was also an interesting and fun challenge!

This is also the first video I made using my new computer! It's been amazing so far, with very few of the hiccups, lag, and general slowness of my previous laptop. I was actually able to watch the preview of my video in the video editor!
