Metallica Cover – The Day That Never Comes

September 12th, 2008 by PhilthBot69

That’s right folks, today marks the release of a Metallica album that does not suck and so to celebrate what myself and John have decided should be named “Metallica Day” I decided to pick up the guitar and learn one of the new songs.

There are frankly a lot of very cool songs on the album but the one that instantly resonated with me was The Day That Never Comes, and so I set to work late at night transcribing like crazy. And whilst I don’t have all of the song down (I’m still working on the main solo) I wanted to get something out on this glorious day. So please feel free to watch this video of me late at night, wearing sunglasses when I clearly shouldn’t be and making what I hope is a half-decent first try of this awesome song.

Because I’m me, I’ve taken a few creative liberties in some areas so this isn’t an exact transcription…

Love

Philthy

Final Fantasy V’s Gilgamesh Theme on the Guitar

August 18th, 2008 by PhilthBot69

Okay folks, so it seems that at least one person and potentially the PanicBot5000 (it’s never easy to read his emotions at the best of times) kinda liked the F-Zero Guitar vid I recently posted. In order for my ego to get at least partially satisfied I’m gonna give you lot some more.

So the track this time is the Gilgamesh Theme from Final Fantasy V as arranged by the Black Mages, titled “Clash on the Big Bridge”

Yes I’m wearing sunglasses indoors. Not just to fend off the bright light but also to make me look more cool. Rather than playing over the main melody, I added a lower octave harmony part to thicken up the sound. That and I couldn’t resist playing the keyboard solo which almost kinda works. Mostly.

So I made probably a whole deal of mistakes and stuff which is normal, but given that I look so damned cool in those sunglasses I’m sure you’ll all cope.

As you can tell by the amount of sunlight (and my lack of hair), this was not filmed in the last couple of weeks. Right now there’s more chance on me surviving on a diet of pins than there is chance that sunshine will rear it’s head in the UK during ‘summer-time’.

I have several more of these vids in the works and may consider doing requests if you desire. Especially if there is bribary or money involved. For all you guitarists out there, I may even consider a small video lesson or two…

Peace, Love and Good Happiness Stuff,

Philthy
