8-string Cover of "Aspiration" by After The Burial - Fred Baty

EDIT: This will most probably be my one and only 8-string video, as I've now sold it!
ORIGINAL COMMENT: I've had my 8-string for about 4-5 months now but have only just worked out which song I wanted to cover with it. For those interested, it's a custom Agile 8-string and the specs are:
Body wood - ash
Scale length - 30"
Neck wood - 5-piece maple/walnut
Neck type - bolt-on
Frets - 27
Fretboard wood - ebony
Radius - 16"
Width at nut - 2.25"
Pups - Agile passives
Hardware - black (two volumes, graphite nut, hipshot bridge)
But yeah, love this tune and am fairly happy with the video bar the occasional bit of sloppiness!

@Fredbaty I'm the bassist in the band of the guy who you sold this guitar to...and I have to say that it's a bonecrusher of a great instrument! Thank you for the opportunity to try it! :D And keep up the amazing acoustic stuff! And for maybe the 8th time - great cover! Cheers from Bulgaria!

This video is what got me into ATB and djent

[@lobyte]

xD that poke at 2:43 This is one of the tightest cover i've seen of all cover videos, not just for this song. Great job

[@AndreasLiveForMusic]

Fuckin' genius man. you did an ace job on one of my favorite ATB songs. I'm glad you used the first version and not the re-release version of this song.

[@proggod876]

the best cover on this song is this one this is probably the best kind of cover i have ever seen do more please

[@tailtaptailtap]

Fred's Humble Smile at 2:56. I love that part too!!

[@ScottBowman1]

AWESOME job man! you got the syncopations PERFECT around 1:40 that part to me is the hardest as there is virtually no pattern. Cool effects too! Keep rockin with that sick lookin guitar man I want that thing. Monster tone too. Definitely best ATB cover ive seen on youtube.

[@kitonpyh]

This is one of the most amazing things ever. sooo creative and awesome guitar work. ATB would be proud.

[@xXxXBornOfOsirisXxXx]

Just as beautiful as the original.

[@darmstrongx92]

That tone is beastly.

[@wahkilla]

was stoked for the recorder solo

[@Cephalotripsy1992]

heavy,groovy,melodic and emotional sick ass song

[@CommunalRhythm]

well, first of all, this is an amaaazing cover. you did a wonderful job! and that part with the little flute or whatever that is is hilarious. haha.

[@hawaii1revenge]

Nicely done man excellent tone and amazing editing well done

[@JensGDrums]

awesome cover and awesome tone! quality!!!

[@johntudisca5]

That guitar sounds absolutely beautiful ❤️✌️

[@Hrimhjarta]

municipal waste ftw! awesome playing, and BEAUTIFUL guitar

[@WidekMusic]

Awesome sound , one of the best 8 string I've ever heard ;)

[@MichaelAbramo]

I can't wait to pick up an Intrepid 8. I'm looking to fool around with some extended range Jazz and Metal. Once again, amazing cover.

[@GtoTheUITAR]

What a beautiful guitar. Sounds awesome man. Bravo!

[@enriktigsvensson]

You freakin rock dude! the part with the flute, LOL! ^^

[@HELacey]

Coming back to this years later. Still good.

[@shakunkadunk]

love how you have a chris broderic look as if to say 'yeah ill keep a straight face cause i know im badass but ill nod slightly because i fucking enjoy being so badass!' hahaha great cover of an epic song!

[@zerofreak098]

Badass dude! The editing is perfect!!

[@psalm6teen]

bad ass!! u sound amazing dude i love the audio quality. this is my favorite of all songs by after the burial!

[@R0BB091]

12 dislikes? 12 people that were amazingly jealous of this guys skill? I think so.

[@KozacraS]

I like it dude. Well done. As laid back as it is, this is one of my favorite ATB songs. It just gives me happy thoughts. Keep it up. :)

[@Whitechapelification]

impressive man. especially with the solo! nice! keep it up dude

[@DarkGuido]

Crazy solo at the end, no problem i got this.

[@StevenStormTrooper]

you deserve triple views... I wish this genre of music was more popular lol

[@ArrhythmicPulse]

SOOOOOOOOOOOOO DOPE One of the most groovin songs ever created.

[@Gecc]

Nice job dude! I am planning on buying an agile 7 string, or maybe 8, so it is nice to see that sort of stuff :)

[@SBSexpress]

I actually like this more than the Actual song. So good!

[@LouBitchtits]

Great cover & nice 8string man!

[@AnTastySammich]

oh my god the flute. I love it

[@1155media]

@Fredbaty That's true. I'm only asking because the Douglas 7-strings are mostly under $200 before shipping.

[@hollywoodvtv]

You did a great job, killed it!

[@xandykx]

This is epic. Great job!

[@DressLikeAGuitarget]

My only advice would be, during the break down, its a pre-bend release rather than just a bend. sick as video though :D, favorite song ever!

[@Bikerboi13]

incredible cover, very VERY nice. 5 stars.

[@DaTr1Xa]

many thanks for this, in my opinion, beautiful cover!

[@Fletchyy]

the way you put this vid together is fucken awesome bro do more

[@Talon_ACA]

Nice! All guitar parts!

[@blaxk]

i watch this shit religiously, amazing cover man.

[@Crypt0nite88]

sick cover man! I love how you're wearing a different tshirt in each clip lol, it took me like 2mins in to notice

[@THISiSHOWIFOUNDER]

AMAAAAAZING JOB MAN!!!!

[@JonesJr_art]

great stuff... keep up the good work!

[@Kronikman07]

bro seriously? Only 88k? I watched this shit such a long time ago, it's amazing. this sucks to see. the video is better than the views say it is

[@Kronikman07]

that sucks that you sold the 8 string, you were immaculate at it, you could've made it far with those skills you got there boyo

[@pstlpwn]

@Fredbaty thanks dude your a life saver.

[@pstlpwn]

@Fredbaty thanks for the response, so i have my line 6 stack, it just so happens that i LOVE the sound that comes out of it when i plug in my pod, i assume i could just run another cable out of the pod into my interface then into the computer? i have the usb for it and everything.

[@harrymanbach]

nice guitar, uber nice cover,i got the Ibanez 8 string RG a year ago,i gotta say 8 is certainly more interesting than 6 or even 7

[@edmonguy]

You're entirely awesome!

[@Anight7mareX]

Great job man.

[@NYNmetal]

Awesome cover, one very slight problem is that you aren't getting the 'djents' i.e the palm mutes in the verse exactly right. You're muting the entire note, but you're supposed to play it open then immediately mute it. Still, that's a very minor nitpick and most people don't even realize the difference. 5 stars, keep being awesome!

[@energysage9774]

That cover was ridiculously clean and accurate. You really need to start writing your own music. Seriously, even if you can't find great players to work with you should just program some drums and release a solo album like tosin abasi did with animals as leaders, or chimp spanner, or keith merrow, or cloudkicker, or like Bulb used to do, etc..

[@xkatrinxuc]

Nice cover :) Nice production jejeje

[@HowardJonesOfficial]

great job man

pretty nice video dude!

[@nologantogive]

this is "prolly" one of the coolest covers ive seen. you did such a beast ass job on it. what editing software did you use to get them to sync up so well????

[@_Strez]

I'll bet you hate listening to these songs now xD great vid

[@RyanCmetal]

AMAZING man

[@JessicaLyseyko]

You blew my mind

[@countskippy]

Only gripe I have about this cover is the ending bends are pre-bent and let down (a la "Walk") instead of bent up...otherwise, absolutely solid cover of one of my favorite songs.

[@fr618]

Love the flute man at 2:33 lol

[@SUBLIMEDUDESTP]

@Fredbaty Looks very simular to the new 8 string tosin from aal is playing. his is semi cut away but its got that same beautiful wood finish

[@TakiCyke]

Nice tone.

[@R0BB091]

I love the epic bend at 1:55 :D

[@ZeroSwitch]

Description to the rescue! Body wood - ash Scale length - 30" Neck wood - 5-piece maple/walnut Neck type - bolt-on Frets - 27 Fretboard wood - ebony Radius - 16" Width at nut - 2.25" +++Pups - Agile passives+++ Hardware - black (two volumes, graphite nut, hipshot bridge)

[@ThisWouldBeMike]

Amazing.

[@jordanseah]

Ok...Tone sounds great. 3 things: What wood: What pickups: and what tone on the amp:

[@AlucardXIX]

The bend in the breakdown is on the first fret, and it's basically a pre-bend. Other than that awesome job dude. Did you record each part on a different day or something? haha

[@ladicius]

WELL DONE

[@del_84]

Hope you get back into this genre of music

[@SUBLIMEDUDESTP]

@Fredbaty Your 8 string looks very simular to the one Tosin from AAL is playing. his is semi cut away but it has that same beautiful wood finish

[@iizanthonybuck]

I love this video! I subbed, I vote more ATB videos, I'd love to see Cursing Akenaten.

[@eddie7314]

massively huge dude, nice leather jacket !!!!

[@MichaelAbramo]

I'm looking to buy this guitar but, instead, the model with Floyd Rose. What gauge strings are you using? I was going to do .11-.68 with a B-standard tuning with the extra A. (BEADGBEA) Great playing too! I love your originals as well.

[@LukeCassidy]

oof. so good dude, so good.

[@cote006]

i think ATB is one of the only bands who can get away with having the bass guitar louder than the other guitars.

[@TyPursell]

you seriously need to do a meshuggah cover, PLEASE!!

[@Synthpoptroubadour]

dude you got really cool hair... nice vid, btw

[@JayFFAFAlesanaES]

Nice work dude! What was the recorder about ? ahaha I swear after you got up it looked like someones was taking loads of pictures. Anyway, really awesome cover :)

[@AlucardXIX]

Hahahaha. Well I just bend on the first fret, it sounds right to me. The transition is right though. I noticed a lot of people got that part wrong. They would just keep jammin the first fret when its open.

[@OneisneO]

wondering what tuning are you using... it gets pretty extreme, it's one whole octave added if u drop the 8th, no more bassist needed ... just lovely 8strings XD

[@jumatm]

u learned both guitars, awesome

[@vikingwizardeyes2121]

@dantendo1212 haha yeah but you could tell he felt the groove by the quick grin he had.

[@admireinspire]

lmao the flute thing made me lol pretty hard. wtf is the blue thing on your guitar?is it a pinwheel? is it a capo? is it a gift bow? i cant figure it out.

[@rabbit221]

@Fredbaty So that's just a half step down from normal 8-string tuning right? I can't wait to get mine.

[@pstlpwn]

@Fredbaty question about the pod, i have a pocket pod, could i use that into ableton live by chance? if you could tell me how you even do it with a pod thatd be really helpful.

[@brettlingle]

That's a nice looking guitar man is the body of that guitar smaller than the Intrepid style?

[@74Scar]

Nice!

[@blastbeatdown]

did you find the 30" scale easy to get used to? i'm probably getting the 28" just cause 30 might be overkill lol.. i won't really know til i try one though.

[@Ty2052]

nice dude!

[@ZombiePenguinStudios]

i am currently trippin balls i didnt know u in this video and the video of eboney coast idk how to spell it i didnt know both were u! u look like a completely different person kinda but yea man i just had to say it lol

[@TheMidst]

You look like Mario of Chon. Great cover btw

[@isaaccapwill]

EMOTION!

[@lankeysob]

hey man you should post a cover of a vicious reforming of features or ometh

[@pstlpwn]

@Fredbaty pod -> amp -> Comp. my only issue is quality. is it possible to run it pod -> amp -> interface -> computer? or is the pod basically an interface.

[@skykill3R]

hey good cover and good job. i would like to ask why did you sell the agile 8-string guitar.
