Living Colour – Cult of Personality | GUITAR COVER

  By , ,

Hey everyone, welcome back to the studio! It’s another Friday, so once again we’re ripping through another cover video. Today we’re playing another classic of times gone by, Cult of Personality by Living Colour. Admittedly, I don’t know too much music from these guys, but I’m sure we’ve all heard this one before. That main riff is truly iconic, and I don’t know about you guys but it definitely triggers the feeling of an era… Continue reading

Children Of Bodom – Not My Funeral | GUITAR COVER

  By , ,

Hey everyone! We’re back at the studio for another cover video, this time we’re ripping through another Children of Bodom song called Not My Funeral. I did this cover once about 12 years ago, before I had much knowledge on how to make recordings, you know, not sound like crap. I figured it would be a decent idea to redo this track having a bit more experience under the belt. But even though I learned… Continue reading

Gojira – Oroborus | GUITAR COVER

  By , ,

Hey everyone! We’re back at Okzygen again for our weekly video thing, rocking a Gojira cover of Oroborus. I really don’t give these guys enough listening time, as they’re fantastically heavy and destructive with their riffs. If you’ve never heard of these guys before, then prepare to be sonically delighted by some of the heaviest music of 2008. I remember hearing Gojira for the first time back then (in particular the song we’re playing today),… Continue reading

Joe Satriani – Always With Me, Always With You | GUITAR COVER

  By , ,

Hey everyone, it’s time for another video! It’s been just over a year since I rebooted the YouTube channel, and even though I’ve only been doing the regular upload things for the last three months, I wanted to mark the year with another Joe Satriani cover. So today we’re running through the track Always With Me, Always With You. I had this track figured out a few years back and played it during one of… Continue reading

Justin Strode – We Take The Grave | GUITAR PLAYTHROUGH

  By , ,

Hello everyone, and happy Friday! It’s been a bit since I’ve done one of my own tunes, so today we’re ripping through We Take The Grave, off the 2018 release Megalomaniac. This album was part of the Record Production Month challenge, when one records an albums worth of stuff in the 4 weeks of February. I took it a little bit further and wrote all the music as well during this time, because I like… Continue reading

Iron Maiden – Hallowed Be Thy Name | GUITAR COVER

  By , ,

Hey Everyone! We’re turning the clocks back a bit further than normal today and jamming out to Hallowed Be Thy Name, by Iron Maiden. This group definitely got me started on this guitar journey and this path down the dark side of metal. I remember finding this record among my parents collection and essentially annexing it as my own, spending hours on end flipping this record over and over again while hiding in my room.… Continue reading

Lamb Of God – Laid To Rest | GUITAR COVER

  By , ,

Hey everyone! We’re back in the studio at Okzygen with a new cover video, this time it’s Laid To Rest by Lamb Of God. For those of us who got thrown into the metal scene of the early 2000’s, this song was definitely one of the biggest hits of the time, and helped turn a whole new generation into the world of metal. And as you can probably tell by now (with this being my… Continue reading

Tool – Right In Two | GUITAR COVER

  By , ,

Hey everyone! We’re doing another cover video today, and a long one at that with Right In Two by Tool. This band became a very important part of my musical influence long ago after being introduced to them by my buddy Alex, with masterful control over experimental time signatures, poly-rhythms, atmosphere, and of course the fantastic drumming of Danny Carey. But we’re not drumming today, we’re focusing on Adam Jones and all his little nuances… Continue reading

Justin Strode – Forever Out of Time | GUITAR PLAYTHROUGH

  By , ,

Hello you beautiful people! We’re back again playing an original song called Forever Out of Time, taken off the album Burn. This is one of my favourite tunes to play, and when I was playing live gigs I would normally close out the set with this song. There’s something uplifting and energetic about it that just sits right in the ears and the mind that makes it really difficult to stand still. Hell, it was… Continue reading

Arch Enemy – Ravenous | GUITAR COVER

  By , ,

 Hello you beautiful people! Today we’re ripping through the song Ravenous, by Arch Enemy. This group definitely pushed me into the heavier regions of metal back in the day, along with groups like Death and Children of Bodom. I’ve always preferred the arrangement with Angela Gossow on vocals, but to be honest I just haven’t bothered listening to much of the new stuff with Alissa White-Gluz. Might have to dive into their stuff again… Continue reading
