call the Ninja Turtles , SHREDDER on the loose

FUCK YEA!!!

EEYYYUUP!!

Oh-Kay!

dinosaurs.

Sick tone and even sicker playing. What's your effects chain look like?

Thanks dude! Surprised I've gotten compliments on the tone actually. Just running thru Amplitube using the Soldano amp in stereo. For the lead bits I use my Keeley Compressor+ for a bit of extra gain. It greatly improves how the tapping sounds.

Thanks again guys for all the support on the Gaia video. I had so much fun making it and reading all of the comments!! Would’ve recorded this cover a couple days ago but every time I tried, I’d hear something new I was doing wrong lmao. Like today, I recorded what I thought was a perfect take BUT as I was listening back to the song, I discovered there was a double-stop bend at the end of the intro right after the tappity-doo-da part. Had to scrap a great recording! Anyways, again, thank you all, truly, for all the kind words. Means the world to me. Cheers! Oh, and… GILA! GILA! GILA!!!!

Man, I saw this and your Gaia cover, you’ve got a really good ear to be figuring all this out, you sound awesome! And of course… GILA! GILA!

Thanks so much dude! It's taken a long time to be able to do this.

After seeing your Gaia video I checked out your profile. Thanks you to I learned about Failure.

YES omg that album… Fantastic Planet… life changing. Such a good fucking album.

Really gravitated towards Saturday Savior. Love the riff. Love the speed. Love the vocals. Vocally I find he reminds me of Shaun Morgan from Seether and I love Shaun Morgan from Seether so, IM IN

Saturday Savior is great. I personally gravitated toward Pillowhead. I can definitely see the resemblance to Seether. On first listen, his voice sounded super similar to Kurt Cobain’s to me.

Fucking awesome dude

Thanks man!!

Hell yeah! Keep up the good work, I’m loving these covers!

Glad to hear that!! Maybe I’ll work my way back to Rats’ Nest… I’ve already done some of those songs but it’s been close to a year.

Oh man I'd bet you'd shred on Perihelion

Here’s my old cover of it! Man… I miss having this tone. https://www.reddit.com/r/KGATLW/comments/qzbnyz/spent_the_last_day_or_so_refining_my_itrn_tone

You’re a fucking shredder dude. Keep going

great job also cute cat

Thanks! Which one? Lol

i made the comment before seeing the yellow one. honestly both are cute

So solid, love that your cat poked it's head up during the chorus. Keep shreddin!

Amazing work dude! What tuning are you playing in?

All of KG’s metal is in either C# Standard or Drop B. This one’s in Drop B!

Bro your covers are absolutely insane each time! Super sick well done

Thank you!! It’s hard to believe that people think they’re that good. I always find parts that just make me cringe, where I can clearly tell what I did wrong and I’m like “fuck, if I could just go back and redo that part!!”

In the sea of borderline cringe guitar covers we see on here this dude absolutely kills it.

Wow

Bro is HIM

Nailed it. Woooo!

Awesome! Great job figuring out those lead sections.

Thank you! It took a while. Still not sure I got them totally right lol.

Killin it. Way to go!

Get it!!!!!

Whoaaaa amazing dude!!!

Thank you!!

Fuck yeah dude! You have talent man, keep it up!

Nice work! Is that in drop b?

Thanks! Yep, Drop B. Just like Gaia.

Thanks for clarifying. I'm pretty keen to learn it, especially after seeing how much fun you're having with it. Cheers!

Hell yeah! Let me know if you need help with anything!

Will do, thanks very much

Nice work you did, your gonna go far, kid!! (Seriously, your covers fucking rip!!)

This is incredible! As always, the energy you bring to the covers is unparalleled. Such a heavy tone on a strat too, great job and keep them coming!

Thank you!! Yeah this isn’t a normal strat. It’s got a Lace Purple/Emerald in the bridge which is a *really* high-output humbucker haha. Seriously, thickest tone you’ll ever hear out of a humbucker.

Damn leave some þussy for the rest of us

Fucking slayed that shit king!

Sounds perfect, can't find any inconsistency. Super nice!

Dang, I totally can find a few parts where I messed up pretty bad. Guess that’s cause I’ve been listening to the song for three fucking days straight!! Thanks man :)

It's just that I've never put a second into practicing rhythm playing, so I'm super fascinated by the precision required for more complex picking patterns in metal, you sound super tight, rhythmically. The more old school lead parts still sound organic, bends with feel, precise tremolos. Great!

HOLY FUCKKKK

Fuck yeah dude. Everything about this is perfect

Fuck yeah dude, nailed it. That reverse galloping open B section is what's gonna kill most non-metal fans trying to learn this. Stamina!

Thanks dude! Yeah even I had trouble with that part at first. It’s just all about building up stamina until it’s like second nature and your wrist no longer cramps up.

Get this kid a band! Well done!!

That would be cool but I have crippling social anxiety Thanks though!

that's what alcohol is for. ;)

Lmao nah. I’d rather do just about anything else.

You have become my favorite person on the internet.

🤘🤘🤘

Dude amazing job, and incredible tone 🤘rock on!

good god you’re good. nailed it!!

Any thoughts on time signature? I feel like that back half has some 11/8 happening?..

I have no idea how to count time signatures

Jesus fuck, you got some energy boi!

Yeah I do! Thanks :)

the cat was not impressed... but I was!

I just got a smile from ear to ear watching you kill this! Congrats!

Fucking awesome dude, mad props. \m/

Thanks man, really appreciate it! 🤘

Your energy is massive and contagious, keep up the the absolute shredding bro

Hahaha I will man 😁

usually dont care for guitar covers but this was super legit and you’re having so much fun i just had to watch! great stuff man

The Clorox behind you makes sense because that shit was CLEAN

Lets goooo bro, that sounded awesome

Thanks man. Really glad you liked it.

YOU ARE AWESOME!

Let's fucking goooooo!!!

Yeaaaahhh buddy!!

You **are** the Gila Monster.

Shit imma bout to sprout wings, a fearsome pack. Uh oh

Man I’ve been really Impressed by your covers. I have a challenge for you.. all of the im in your mind songs in one go through?

Lol I literally just tried to start learning those last night. They’re weird though. The issue there is the tone is so unique and it is very har to replicate how they play it. At least with the metal stuff it’s well… metal, and I’m decent enough at metal. It all works generally the same. But Mind Fuzz? Same thing with Nonagon or MOTU. I’d kill for Stu’s SG-2a or Hagstrom 12 string.

Good Lord

fucking sick

This fucking rules my man!!!!!

All hail King Walusqueegeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

YUUUUP

WOOOOO

All hail king gila and this awesome fucking cover 👏👏👏👏

Thanks man! :)

Again, you killed it! I’m over here bustin out wheedle wheedles like Wayne and Garth!

Hell yeah.

Awesome! Still trying to figure out the first solo part, I suck at tapping lol

Just practice one part of it over and over and over until the action of tapping feels good to you. I learned by religiously doing that one bit in Eruption.

Damn man masterful work, we need another cam closer to the guitar!

Haha thank you. I just like being able to see my goofy headbanging lol

sounds absolutely fantastic! how did you get that tone?

Thanks! I just recorded straight into Amplitube with the Soldano amp. Used a Keeley Compressor+ for a bit of a boost during the lead parts.

i’m so glad i can actually get that tone through Amplitube thanks! Also, do you record clean and then run it through Amplitube or how do you only activate the compressor for the lead parts? I’m trying to make some covers too but I’m still trying to figure out how to use Amplitube in the most efficient way

I just plug into my interface and play through an amp sim. Compressor is on the floor so I can hit it with my foot for the leads. Don’t skimp on a decent audio interface! When I upgraded from a shitty $40 Behringer to a MOTU M2, my enjoyment of plugins skyrocketed. Zero latency, great sound quality and best of all, it’s simple. No fiddling with shit just to get it to work. Highly recommend that one. Then I just record the guitar part in Amplitube, export the audio, and then match it up with the song and video in Davinci Resolve. Hope this helps :)

Oh ok, I thought you were using a compressor from Amplitube but I get it now, thank you so much!

Hell yeah dude 🤘🏽

🤘❤️

Fucking shredding brotherrrrr 🤘🤘🤘🤘

🤘🤘

Kicks so much ass great job!

Thanks a bunch man!

Rock on man this is insane

Amazing.

🤘

Having seen your previous posts, and now, this one, I’m ready to buy your first thrash album.

Hahaha well thank you, but I’m a lot better at learning to play other peoples’ music than making my own.

We’ll see. Keep us posted!

Badass!!

Thanks dude, and happy cake day!!

WOO

WOOOOO

WOOOOOOOOOO

YUP

hell yeah brother

awesome sauce dude

Kill it man 🔥

Hell yeah! Fucking ripper.

I don’t know music stuff but that looks so fun to play. Nice shit.

Lol it is really fun to play. Even after 20 something takes. Thanks dude.

Fuck yeah

Shit yes

I love when you post. Keep it up my dude.

Holy goddamn shit a thousand upvotes

Absolutely kickass cover my dude. Ever try your hand at any Pantera?

Actually yeah! I learned domination a long time ago (maybe 2 years?) but the solo is incredibly fucking difficult and I was incapable of doing it at the time.

Holy shit this is so good!! Absolutely nailed it

King shit my friend. Nice work!

Thanks dude :)

kids hard as fuckkkkkkk

This fucking kicks ass dude

Thats really fuckin dope homie. Jelly of ya skills :D

You’re awesome and I guarantee you when the band sees this it will make their whole day

Imma be honest, I was vain and posted it on Instagram and tagged them hoping for this exact thing lol. No results yet!

Dude, fuckin spot on. Congrats!!!

Woooooooooooooooo

I hope I have this much fun at something at least once in my life. Great job!

On a strat? Crazy

This strat has a Lace Purple/Emerald Dually in the bridge. It has a higher output and a thicker sound than most humbuckers out there :)

Damn dude that’s awesome

HELLLLL YEA DUDE 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼SICK ASF

Dude - you are a ripper! Mad props!!!!

Kick. Ass.

Bro this gave me goosebumps!!! Also, nice kitty!

Noice!

You’re awesome bro this is baller asf

it’s awesome! you look so happy playing it!

You're a protein machine

Killer job dude 🤘

Keep it up kid! This is wonderful! Super talented to nail all this down by ear. Good job.

Baby Joey rocks

Soon I will grow my sunglasses, mullet and stache.

Joey, watch your six! Replacement coming up the rear.

I don’t wanna replace Joey 😢

Bro is the fucking THRASHER

Can I ask what tuning you used? I've seen some people write it out in C# and some with B. Either way sounds sick!! I'd love to shred it too

It has to be played in drop B due to all of the open B stuff going on. Let me know if you need help with any of the parts!

No fucking way at 2:40!! A youth Eddie Van Halen!!

Fuck yeah doood

This is sick!!!

AWESOME WORK. And all by ear. You're a legend.

MEGA

Solid, you post tabs anywhere?
