For this one, I decided to use my acoustic guitar (as well as another acoustic tuned with Nashville tuning for that pseudo-12 string effect) for a good chunk of it, but couldn't resist adding heavier guitars later on lol. I noticed that the original song reminded me a bit of Porcupine Tree, so I decided to try to further push the sound in that kind of direction (at least the not-as-heavy parts... the heavier parts ended up sounding a bit more like Dream Theater and Haken)
I also didn't use the green screen this time, since my laptop isn't good enough to edit those videos, but I am building a new desktop computer so the green scree will return after that :)

Ive been planning on doing this one for months! Im 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!
Ive 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 Sumasks help of course!)
This is the second video Ive done with my green screen, and Im still not entirely sure about whether I like it or not. Im definitely not super good at using it properly yet; theres some unavoidable artifacts in the video (mostly just small outlines and the very edges of my instruments disappearing a tiny bit), but its still very watchable. I also tried using my webcam for recording instead of my phone, although Ill probably go back to my phone because the quality is a bit better, and Ill 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 dont use green screens was also an interesting and fun challenge!
This is also the first video I made using my new computer! Its 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!
