This is my track for the Pixel Mixers Indie Album. I have wanted to do this track since I heard it but I was convinced I wasn't capable of playing the leads. When the Indie album was announced and It was offered to me I jumped at it but then the dread started to set in that I would mess this up. It took me quite a while to get round to attempting the guitar parts as I was worried I would try and not be able to do it and would just ruin the song.
Anyway I completely shredded my finger tips getting this song down to the point I couldn’t carry plates properly at work the next day. Im really happy with how this one turned, I think it may be my best cover yet.
So I put some game footage in the video. I like it being there and want to keep using it. But what do you all think? Does it add to the video or does it distract from the music/footage?
Thanks everyone. If you enjoyed this please share it about for me. Oh and let me know what you think in the comments section.

Hey Everyone So yesterday I woke up and went to download Shredders Revenge but for some reason it wasn't available yet in the UK. I did manage to find the Incredible soundtrack though so I had a listen and decided while I wait for the game I would start a cover. I then got completely side-tracked and completed the cover in 7 hours which is a massive record for me. So yea I haven't played the game but I got a video done. Hope you all enjoy it. Oh yea due to the space in my flat I'm going to be moving away from performance videos and just have some game footage up instead. This is temporary but in the mean time I will try get better with photo shop to make the videos more interesting.

Hey Everyone This cover is Part of the Subliminal Verse: A Tribute to Joey Jordison. Myself and a bunch of musician’s way more talented than me have covered 12 tracks from the first 4 slipknot albums. All profits are going to the two charities linked above. All of this has been made possible by Allen Brasch, the man behind GameGrooves who has organised the whole thing and done all the hard work for us. Check out the album please, I’m really happy to have been part of it. Also, I’m not a vocalist but I felt as it was for charity, I would give it ago and even though this is probably the dumbest video I have made it definitely was one of the most fun to do. Anyway, if you enjoyed this, please share it about for me and let me know what you think in the comments section.

Hey Everyone I’m proud to say that this track is part of the Hollow knight Tribute album by Pixel Mixers. I know say this a lot on these videos, but I think this may be my best work tried out a lot of new things on this from new choir VSTs to blast beats. The Hollow knight album this is on is incredible by the way and highly recommend you give it a listen. There are a tons of awesome Hollow knight tracks arranged and performed by incredible musicians. I was completely blown away when I listened to it. Link to the download for the album is above. When I first started work on this album, I had only played a little bit of hollow knight. I think I made it to the Mantis lords battle before I gave up. I decided as I was covering a track for the album, I needed to give it another go and I’m so glad I did. It’s such a great game, the soundtrack, art style and characters are perfect and completely immerse you in this dark world of sad bugs. The Grimm troupe section I thought was really enjoyable I thought provided a nice change of pace giving you little side quests, a new buddy and an awesome boss battle, although I must admit I didn’t beat nightmare King. So happy I got to cover this track for the album. Anyway, if you enjoyed this, please share it about for me and let me know what you think in the comments section. Cheers

Hey Everyone So I think for now my little journey through the Final Fantasy 7 Remake soundtrack has come to an end……. for now. I wanted to do one of the battle themes and I really enjoyed the Reno battle theme as it incorporates several other themes and also has that sick heavy break bit in the middle. I think this track may have some of the best heavy guitar riffs that I have put into a cover. The rhythms are really fun to play in this song. I really wanted this track to be the best work I have done to date so everything in this video from guitar playing through to the lighting in the video and I couldn’t be happier with how this one has turned out. Which leads me on to the special guest in this video. Ro Panuganti has been helping me out with my mixing for years now. The sound of my covers has massively improved directly due to his help. When I decided I wanted to have a guest solo in the cover he was my first and only choice and I am so happy that firstly he agreed, and his solo is sick. If some how you are watching my video and haven’t already heard of Ro, please check out his channel here youtube.com/user/Swiggles1987

I hadn’t really picked up on how awesome this track is until I heard Project genesis ‘s cover in his FF7 Remake medley. Hearing his version, I realised how epic it was. I duno I guess when I was playing the game, I always got too caught up in what was happening on screen. Any way I wanted to try recreate the whole orchestra effect on e multiple guitars but after recording multiple tracks for it, I felt it was getting very messy, so I dialled it back a bit for less is more approach. Had some more technical issues due to me not knowing how to use my equipment again which resulted in half the track needing to be re recorded as well, but at least now I know so I don’t make the same mistake again. I carried on trying out new lighting ideas in this one that I’m really happy about and I think I can improve on this more in the future. Messed up some camera angles again though oops. Overall, I’m really happy with how this track turned out. I think I have one more FF7 remake cover left in me, after that I think it’s time I delved into some different game OSTs. I’m not saying I wont return as there are still loads of awesome tracks in FF7 Remake but I want to do them justice and I’m not ready for them just yet. Anyway, if you enjoyed this, please share it about for me and let me know what you think in the comments section. Cheers

So, this isn’t the track I said I would be covering back in July, it’s not the second track I started working on. It’s not the third of the fourth either. A lot has changed since July due to numerous lockdowns and pandemic related things that I’m sure we are all going through. One of these things for me was a constant start/stop schedule that eventually led to a complete lack of motivation to be productive on my behalf. Hopefully, we are all getting through the worst of this and can push forward together. I decided to ease myself back in with a less complicated track. I didn’t realise how much I liked the Shinra theme until I started really listening to the entire OST and picked up on the shinra theme being scattered across the entire soundtrack. The cover did take me a couple weeks longer than I wanted but I wasn’t expecting to be doubting myself so much through this process. As I worked my way through this track, I felt my confidence returning and I’m very happy with the end result. I even tried some new lighting ideas with the video but I’m not sure my iphone camera liked the darker room.
Anyway, if you enjoyed this, please share it about for me and let me know what you think in the comments section. Cheers

So it took me a little longer than I had planned to get this done. Work has been a lot more demanding than I expected and I haven't really had the time to work on music as much as I would like. I tried using some more midi instruments for this one adding some Timpani and tubular bells in to the mix. I felt I couldn't really leave them out of this one as they add so much to the original track. I also tried out something with my phone that I used to use and now I remember why I dont use it. The front facing camera! Yea, I was running out of time to get the last bits filmed and quickly set up the phone that way to save time. I was curious to see if the quality difference would be noticeable. Turns out it was massive and I wont be doing it again. In other news I picked up a few plugins from Neural DSP and while they are not present in this track (except the solo), they will be used for all my covers from now on. Speaking of which, my next cover is from a game series that I have loved from the instant it came out, I have always wanted to do this cover since I started the channel but it was too much for me. That should hopefully be ready in a couple weeks Anyway, if you enjoyed this, please share it about for me and let me know what you think in the comments section. Cheers

I was a little unsure of how this would turn out when I first started it and I think my self doubt held me back a little towards the beginning of this cover. I nearly stopped working on it twice while programming the drums. I'm glad I stuck with it though as I'm really happy with how this one turned out. Took me awhile to get the video done as while I was mixing the cover I went out side for a couple hours and my pale skin couldn't handle it. I was so sun burnt that I couldn't do the video hah.
On a more serious note this video will be the last of my weekly covers and I will be moving to a fortnightly schedule for the foreseeable future. I would love to keep this weekly streak up (8 weeks in a row) but I'm finally able to go back to work next week and I know i wont be able to keep up weekly videos while working full time.
Dont worry though I'm not going to disappear again, currently have two tracks nearly finished. Which ever one is done first will be up in two weeks time. Anyway, if you enjoyed this, please share it about for me and let me know what you think in the comments section. Cheers

I wasn't really planning on covering this track but as my girlfriend has been singing the chocobo theme constantly I thought I would give it ago as its stuck in my head anyway. I did this quite a few weeks ago at the beginning of the lock down but held it back as I was more excited about other tracks I was working on. When I started the cover I wasn't sure which version of the chocobo theme to go for. So I had a listen to all of them and went with the final fantasy 3 version as I felt it the most easily recognisable version of it. I'm probably wrong and should of gone for one of the FF7 version but it is what it is. Anyway, if you enjoyed this, please share it about for me and let me know what you think in the comments section. Cheers

I didn't even pick up on this track until my third play-through of the game. I mainly noticed it becuase of the guitar solo. So I sat down to learn the guitar solo and figured as I think Johnny is one of the funniest characters in the game he deserved a full cover. I decided to keep it pretty close to the original as I haven't really done that much blues and have never attempted to record it. Im pretty happy with the results. Also yea I didn't realise how big that T shirt is on me until I watched this hah Anyway, if you enjoyed this, please share it about for me and let me know what you think in the comments section.

Hey Everyone Got another Final Fantasy 7 Remake cover for you all. I really enjoyed this section of the game (except for the giant hand puzzles, 4 play throughs and they get dull fast) even though you are in a combat section the area is more focused on the character development of Cloud and Aerith. Its one of what I feel is a happier section of the game. To represent this the music is very upbeat in comparison to the sector 5 slums theme. I actually feel its quite unique within the sound track and I wanted to try capture some of the ambient vibe but still keep the track within the realms of metal. Going to be changing the tone a bit next week for one of my favourite characters themes from the remake.
Anyway, if you enjoyed this, please share it about for me and let me know what you think in the comments section. Cheers

Hey Everyone The Final Fantasy 7 Remake hit me so hard. I dont think i have ever been effected by video game characters like this before but even more so the soundtrack is incredible. While playing i was getting lots of ideas of what tracks to have a go at and then the sector 5 slums theme started playing and I had to stop and start the cover right there and then. It took a little longer than I had planned to get this one done but I'm so happy with the results. I managed to get a few extra themes in there so let me know if you pick up on them. Also I had nearly finished the cover and just had to record the solo when I finished the game and heard the Full band version of Hollow so I added part of the vocal line and the solo to mine. I have 4 more final Fantasy 7 covers coming up soon at least so check back next week for more.

Hey Everyone I decided that i would upload a few days early as I prefer uploading on a Saturday and didn't want to wait nearly nearly weeks between uploads. I had a lot of fun recording the guitar parts fro this one. Mick Gordons riffs are real heavy. I spent along time trying to get the drums as close to the original. Probably the longest i have ever spent on programming drums. Now the Doom soundtrack has a lot of ambient effects on it and I'm a pretty basic guy when it comes to music, just plug in and riff away. I had to learn a lot of new techniques for this one like automating pitch shifts and eq sweeps, manipulating white noise, side chaining etc. Most of it the effect I wanted I didn't know what it was called so I couldn't look up a tutorials either. Yea i think i spent 8 hours on this alone just trying to make weird noises. Its all good in the end though as its good to learn new things, even if i did go about it the long way. Next week I have a Final fantasy cover for you. Anyway, if you enjoyed this, please share it about for me and let me know what you think in the comments section. Cheers

Hey Everyone Got some big news for you all. I have 6 more covers on the way at least. Going to have weekly uploads for the time being as well. I have wanted to do some tracks from the Doom 2016 soundtrack for awhile and i decided that this track would be a good motivator for me to keep going due to its length. I've been having trouble getting video footage off of my Iphone and on to my PC. Keeps saying Device not recognised even when its currently showing on Itunes. If any one knows how to fix that please let me know as constantly plugging in my phone over an over again till it works is dull.

Hey Everyone Going back to the Shovel Knight soundtrack again today because its incredible. Even managed to get a friend of mine to play a bad ass solo on it. Kamil is an incredible guitarist so go check out his band. I put a link above.
I’m really happy with how this track turned out. I have been planning it in my head for ages and I think I over thought some parts as it came together a lot easier than I expected. Except for that delay part which for some reason I couldn’t play properly when it came to recording it. But got there in the end.
My only regret with this is rushing recording the video. I have a limited amount of time to work on this channel and on the day, I wanted to record the video footage I was unwell so I think I’ve come across grumpier than normal in this one. I swear I do smile in real life……..some times.

Wasn’t sure if I was going to get this one done in time as I left till yesterday before I started recording anything. Definitely the fastest I have got a video together. Had a ton of issues trying to get my new camera and lights working eventually had to turn half the lights off and get my phone back out as I forgot to check if the camera was charged. My bad.
Anyway its not the most technical cover I have done but it was fun. Have a spooky weekend everyone.

Hey Everyone So I started this cover two years ago and well………. It nearly Killed my channel. I have had so many issues with this cover. When I first started it, I struggled getting the riffs to sound how I wanted, so I took a break from it. Then when I worked it out, I realised I couldn’t play the leads at all which knocked my confidence so much that I didn’t want to keep trying. On top of all this my laptop was breaking down fast so I had to retire it. After that I just gave up on it and in a way I gave up on the channel. Flash forward to the present and having got myself back into the habit of playing again I decided it was time to tackle it again but this time I wasn’t going to just half ass it. I re-recorded everything and when it came to the leads, I tabbed it all out sat down and practised it until I was happy with it. Irritatingly when I copied the drums over they brought with them some glitches which I guess was a compatibility issue between old and new software but other than slowing me down a bit it wasn’t too bad. This cover caused me so many issues over the past two years that it eventually got to the point where I had to say Its done. Am I completely happy with it? No, definitely not. I’m not saying I hate it and want to burn my computer down to erase it, there are parts of this I’m proud of and parts I think could be better but its got to the point where I just had to finish it and be done with it. This track has been a massive learning experience for me even if it hasn’t turned out the way I wanted. If you have read all this rambling thank you. I do hope you enjoy it and stick around for my next shovel knight cover in a couple weeks.

Hey Everyone Ages ago I wanted to make a Sonic 2 Album and cover every levels track as the OST is one of my favourites. Reality kicked in a while back and I realised that the chances of this happening are slim due to the amount of free time I have. So, I thought another medley was the way to go. This came together really well (for me anyway), some of the transitions are a bit rough but I’m happy with it. Plus, I got to use a ton of guitars on this, most of them have not been used on this channel before. I also really enjoyed applying metal to all the different styles of music in this game. Had quite a lot of issues trying to film this one though. My iPhone is having issues sending files to my pc and my editing software doesn’t seem to like too many iPhone files being used at once, so I had to do half the video, render it and then carry on with the rendered file. Wasted quite a few hours working that out. Anyway, I have a different camera I’m going to try out soon and if anyone knows of a better alternative (free preferably) to Sony Music studio, please let me know. These video issues will carry over to at least the next two covers I do as guess what….
I HAVE 2 MORE VIDEOS READY TO GO.
The next video will be up in 2 weeks (might try squeeze another one in for Halloween) and I will try stay at 2 weeks for as long I can.

So I guess that semi regular posting schedule I was talking about 2 years ago didn’t pan out hah. Yea my life has had a fair bit going on to be perfectly honest I became overwhelmed and couldn’t put the amount of time I wanted into this channel and because of that I became frustrated that I couldn’t get anything done. It became a bit of a mental block stopping me from finishing tracks.
Well that was until today cause yea this track is finished. I originally started arranging this for Halloween and kept on putting it off. Magfest came around and I realised how much I missed making music. It gave me that final bit of encouragement to just push through any walls that were in front of me and get this out.
As far as the track goes my aim was to just get it out regardless of if I thought it was good or not but thankfully, I’m really happy with this. I’ve struggled with my guitar skills having slacked on practise while I have been in active and I completely forgot how to mix, master and edit videos. I’m also using my new computer so had to re build any pre-sets or make new ones.
Oh yea, and I bought a new guitar a while back. Its pretty sick, makes me happy.
As for the next video, I’m not setting a schedule. Ideally, I will get a video out every month but don’t hold me to it. Just know I’m in a good place, happy and motivated to make some more covers. Thanks for watching

CheersMagfest 2019 Day 1Hekdar Thunderfist2019-01-11 | Honestly can not describe how much fun I had at Magfest so i thought i would would just put up all my footage so you can see at least 10% of what i got to see. Links to all below
I've got more footage coming from days 2 and 3 so keep an eye out for that and if things go well should have a new cover up in before next Wednesday................maybe.
So I don’t normally do requests. In fact I don’t think I ever have done one but CasAvena asked if I could do this track and I had a listen and while I wasn’t sure what to do with it, I liked the track so put it on my to do list (its a long list).
I quickly realized that the track isn’t that long and I would have to mess about with it a lot to keep things interesting. So I chucked some harmonies in there and came up with some little riffs and licks to keep it going.
When it came to the solo I had this grand plan for a twin harmony solo that was mainly melody driven buuuuuut I then spotted my wah pedal that I have owned for a year but not really ever used and went nuts with it haha.
Anyway the track turned out better than I had first thought so im happy. Sorry its not that long I have been pretty busy and wanted to get this out. Once my routine is back in order I can hopefully be more consistent.
Thanks everyone.

Yea ive been gone a while but im back my little studio up and running again and better than before. Thanks IKEA.
So i have only got about 5-6 hours in to this game and never played it when i was younger. Those of you who have been following me for awhile might remember that i havent played that much FF at all. But i really like this song I heard it a couple years ago for the first time and really liked it. So much that i started arranging a cover in my head. I had the idea of the riff pretty early on and over the course of a year i came up with how i wanted the rest to sound. I did all this with out touching my guitar so i had to adapt some things when i realised they didnt work but yea arranging was pretty painless

A while ago i submitted a song for this pokemon tribute album and its finally out. You can down load the whole thing for free here and it full of great tracks and has so many talented musicians who are way better than me so check them all out. Click here to download the album http://www.mediafire.com/file/3qy9o9eobhrk84f/Pixel+Mixers+-+Catch+This%21.rar
We do not own any of those songs, all were composed by Junichi Masuda for the original Pokémon games.
So while im sorting a few things out you can all listen to this album of Indie game music thats just come. Its got a ton of crazy good musicians in it so yea just watch the video and download the album and enjoy it. Oh yea I am on it as well.
Hey everyone so after watching a few entries i figured why not give it ago. I looked and saw that the tempo was 189 and i cant play 16th notes that fast so I figured there was no chance of any shred from me.
This is one of my tracks for the Pixel Mixers Indie Album. So due to personal life and a hand injury I couldnt make the last deadline.....or the one after that. But I wanted to make sure that I didnt just rush out a cover and half ass it. So here it is.
I really struggled with this one lots of stuff going on in the original track. I was recently told that some of my covers have a bit too much happening so it tried to simplify the arrangement for this one.
Anyway Im really happy with how it all turned out in the end and I would like to thank Ro and the many other people who gave me mixing advice for this.

Hey Everyone
So I went to see the World of Warcraft movie a few weeks ago. I thought it was alright but could have been better. Strangely though as soon as I left I couldn’t stop thinking about the game and ending up getting back into it. I then thought it would be cool to do a track from the game as well. Originally I was going to do Thunderbluff but I couldn’t think of a decent arrangement so went for this epic track called Nightsong.
I didn’t realize at first but the entire intro is almost in free time so I had to move chord timings about so that it kinda made sense when playing over the top. Unfortunately I forgot what I recorded when it came to doing the footage so it goes way out of sync for a second. Sorry
Im really happy with the 2nd half of the track. The riffs are quite simple but it came out really heavy so me im happy with that.
Originally there was going to be a guest solo but unfortunately it didn’t happen so I did it. The solo was recorded last minute so I didn’t feel like getting the lights out.
On a separate note my life started to fall apart so if I miss a deadline just bear with me. I will keep going but I have to take care of things first.
Anyway Thanks everyone. If you enjoyed this please share it about for me. Oh and let me know what you think in the comments section.

[CHALLENGER APPROACHING GUIDELINES] 1)mail Allen at gamelarkremixes@gmail.com and inform him that you would like to be a part of the series.
2) Videos must be at least 1 minute long and no more than 5 minutes long (I would recommend 2 to 3 minutes)
3) The video must start with your music (this is so that viewers can decide immediately if they want to keep watching. For instance, say a person does metal remixes. If they talk for the first two minutes of their video, then play their music at the end, the viewer will have wasted their time if they aren't a fan of metal music.)
4) Include video footage from your channel or if you don't record yourself playing instruments, record a video of yourself talking. In other words, no videos with just a static picture in the background.
5) You have to make sure to reference GameLark Remixes and the Challenger Approaching play listUndertale Battle Themes Metal Guitar MedleyHekdar Thunderfist2016-06-23 | Please Please Please Like and share if you enjoy this video. It really helps me out.

Hey Everybody
So I kinda got bit by the undertale bug and wanted to do some more. As I hadn’t touched upon the battle themes I thought it would be fun to give some of them ago for the Pixel Mixers contest recently.
I had a fair bit of trouble working out out some of the harmonies to this. Especially Bonetrousle gave me a bit of a head ache And spear of justice was way way way faster than I had realized so took a long time to get a decent take on that as well. Needless to say I ruined another set of strings sweating all over them hah.
For some reason I decided to do death by glamor faster than the original to make a transition smoother. I decided as everyone else was dressing up for Death By Glamor I would as well. I was considering dressing up for each theme but then I realized I don’t have enough money for props hah.

Hey Everybody So I decided to give Undertale a go. I already knew I liked the music but having only played the first 5 mins of the game I wasn’t really sure if I would enjoy it but I decided that as I had a 10 hour train journey it would pass the time nicely. Fast forward 5 hours and I am staring at my computer screen wondering how I became such a horrible person. I couldn’t stop thinking about it for the next few days so I followed the flowers advise and played it again to get a ending I could live with. This game really is incredible and deserves all the hype.
Now as for this cover I was planning on just not doing any Undertale songs but after playing it I felt I had to so I started work on one of two(potentially three) medleys. This first one is based on all the area themes and tracks from the game that I just enjoyed (Battle themes will come at a later date). I also put loads of effort in to gettign better angles and just in general improving the video quality. Took a long ass time to film all the footage but I am so happy with this medley. I think its the best thing i have done. My favorite track in the whole game is core. I found the bridge seen where your getting constantly attacked to be so epic (no matter what way I was playing the game).
I tried to incorporate a few different styles into this one rather than my standard metal transition into metal medleys hah. I have very much enjoyed analyzing the music from this game the leitmotifs are so well done and fit perfectly.

Video quality will improve for next video. As for next weeks video im really excited about it so check back next Thursday for an epic 9 minute medley. Thanks everyone.

Hey Everybody So a year ago i entered my first Gametabs mini challenge with a Battletoads medley. Its only fitting that nearly a year later I enter a Pixel Mixers challenge with the second half of this medley.
This medley was originally much longer but some of the tracks I wanted in it did not fit or I couldn't think of away to do them justice so maybe there will be a part 3 one day. I think this is one of the heaviest things I have done. At first I thought i was going to have to scrap it as I couldn't here exactly how it was going to sound in my head but I am pretty happy with the end result. Also apologies about any out of sync or off screen footage I'm still trying to sort out my phone camera properly and my ancient lap top seems to have a melt down when I put hd footage in to it. As always I will learn from the mistakes and try to improve for the next video. If you enjoyed this please share it about for me .

Hey Everybody So firstly I made a facebook and twitter for the page and I sorted out my Soundcloud so thats up todate now as well. So follow me and i can keep you uptodate with my stuff and jokes and yea.............Internet.
Anyway I record most of this at my parents house on the Isle of Skye. Was a nice week week weather wasnt that terrible (some of the time) but all the rain allowed me to use my Dads guitars So for all of the Clean leads I got to use his Telecaster and I used his Les Paul for all the high gain leads. Wasnt able to record it with those guitars as i didnt have any of filming it properly. .
This medley was alot of fun with some classic tunes in it. Even got to be a little jazzy for the intro hah. Oh and i just thought i should mention the drums over the Bowser theme are LIKE & SUBSCRIBE Thanks for watching. Cheers

So ever since I did my first Pokemon medley I felt that I had barely scratched the surface of this ost and I really wanted to do more. With the Pixel Mixers tribute albums 2nd disc basically giving me free reign to do what ever I wanted I decided to chuck another medley together and get some more of the darker themes in there like Veridian forest and Lavender town. I really struggled with the battle theme at first and had to tab out a rough version of it and just keep pumping the tempo up so I could play it. Anyway I am really happy with how this one turned out and I hope you enjoy it too. LIKE COMMENT SUBSCRIBE :) :) :) :) :) :) Thanks for watching. Cheers

Hi Everyone This track is part of the upcoming Pixel Mixers Pokemon tribute album. I got to the party a little late and there were only a few tracks left and i couldn't think of what to do and then I realized that Professor Oak needed a metal overhaul so i set about coming up with silly riffs to put over this overly happy theme. Any way it was fun to do and jump around in my room too. Sorry its not very long but i didn't think i could keep it interesting much longer. Also still working on improving the video quality so i messed about with color settings (which i did wrong) and recorded in a dark room with a single light (my phone didn't like that). Oh well I will learn from my mistakes/ Hope you enjoy it. LIKE COMMENT SUBSCRIBE :) :) :) :) :) :) Thanks for watching. Cheers

Hi Everyone When i first started this cover i wasn't sure if i was going to upload it as I really like the song and there are already so many good versions of it. The reason i did start it was to have a go at recording Ocarina tracks which is something i have never done before. In the end i enjoyed it so much i decided to do the whole song. I have to admit i was heavily influenced by Toxicxeternity's version of the song as it was is so good i couldn't get my brain away from it. Any with regards to the video im trying to get better picture quality now that im not using the green screen. So apologies for any camera fails while I get through this. I find shooting the video hard. Anywaysssssssssssssss LIKE COMMENT SUBSCRIBE :) :) :) :) :) :) Thanks for watching. Cheers

Hey Everyone. Its been a while since my last proper video but I'm back and I should have at least 2 months worth of weekly video for you. This wasn't supposed to be the first video that I uploaded but when SwigglesRP announced this contest i knew it would be a fun way to get back in to things. I had never really played a Metroid game until after starting work on this cover but music like Brinstar always stood out as one of the top video game tracks in my opinion so i hope we did it justice.
Having watched Matthews Videos for a year (i think its a year) now I was extremely pleased when he agreed to work on this song. His lead work is incredible and he deserves way more subscribers so check out his channel here. youtube.com/channel/UCN3rI3CPFpKsBBBFN2h6klw
Matthew Beckhams Comments "Thanks to Hekdar for wanting to work with me on this! I've never collaborated before and was a little nervous about how the whole process would go, but due to his awesome nature and patience with me, It went quite smoothly. He killed it on rhythm/bass/drums and I did my best to do them/the songs justice with my leads/video editing, and I think the end result is pretty awesome! Was a pleasure working with you, would gladly do so again in the future!

CheersNazgul Sentient Vs Duncan Designed ComparisonHekdar Thunderfist2016-01-30 | (Listen to with head phones or on decent speaker. You will not really hear a difference on your phone) Hi everyone So firstly I just wanted to say that no I am not back yet. I still need to get some things sorted before I can do covers again. Secondly no this is not a video game cover. I just got the pickups replaced on my schecter and did this compare the tones and commemorate this big event in my guitars life. I wasn't planning on doing the video at first and just have a background screen instead but I quickly recorded it before I took the guitar in to the shop so there are a few sync errors. Let me know what you think. Having messed around with it a lot I know what the main differences are and the effect it has had on the sound wave but it would be cool to hear your thoughts.
So im taking a break and have done this talking video. Im not that great at this stuff so its a little clunk. Also i forgot to use a mic and just went off my phone audio so it might be a bit quiet. and im a terrible cameraman. There was a bunch of stuff i forgot to say but you will find out soon enough. Any way cheers for watching and commenting on my videos these last 17 months.
