Agalloch - I am the Wooden Doors (All Instrument Cover w/ Vox)

Here's part 1 of a 2 part set of videos, a cover of I am the Wooden Doors from Agalloch's 2002 masterpiece album, The Mantle. This track is the heaviest on the record featuring double bass over much of the track, black metal-esque vocals and tremolo guitars, yet several very melodic acoustic guitar parts and solos. The resulting piece, despite the heavy influences, is an extremely melodic song with lush guitar density.
For tracking, I double tracked all electric guitars, which I basically was able to cover most of the instrumentation in the song that I could identify in 4 guitar parts. There were additionally three acoustic guitar parts , although I bumped one of those acoustics to electric guitar for playability reasons. Bass was tracked direct into the DAW, drums were recorded with my regular mic configuration, and all vocals (heavy and melodic) were double tracked as well.
Special thanks to Henri Aalto for filming the snowy scene at the beginning, as he's already getting fresh snow in Finland. You should check out his youtube channel as he's a fantastic guitarist!

Dude this is awesome, how did you find the time to play guitar, bass AND drums? Especially since this track doesn’t seem easy for any of the instruments tbh.

[@thesosomusician]

Cheers!! I've been playing drums in bands for about 28ish years, and I started playing guitar at about the same time, but I never played in any bands on guitar. This channel was kind of a way to force me to practice guitar and bass alot more because I always felt I should be able to play those instruments better, and putting it out on the internet definitely forces you to practice harder! I started playing keyboards for the channel too, and learning audio engineering, and it's all super fun! Glad you dug this cover! I'm always trying to put something new out a few times a month, who knows where the ceiling is?!

Tienes las notas de la parte de guitarra acústica?
