August Burns Red - Composure (cover) RE-DO

For some reason the synchronization of the backing track and video got off, I tried fixing it but I couldn't get it right.
As you might of seen or heard, I played the harmony parts unlike the other video. I learned it all by ear so it may be wrong. and since it started going out of sync at the end where the BEST harmony part is, it may sound off. I apologize, but it's not that noticeable.
Enjoy!

[@NealHXC]

@Acebandana Thank you! I'm glad you complimented on my cover concerning on how well I played it and nothing else.

[@NealHXC]

Just was taking a deep breath after playing the best song ever.

[@NealHXC]

Thanks man, about 4 years.

[@brettlockerhead]

Another absolutely flawless guitar cover of one of the most amazing bands of all time, by an all-time favorite guitarist. :) Great job, Neal. And by the way. I'm sold on this EC-1000. :D

[@TheeDevilWearsPrada]

This song will always be ABR's best song. Composure is just amazing. Nothing can top it.

[@jro3030]

amazing cover dude. way tight. i watch this video almost everyday just because it is so fun to watch, and good enough quality to where it is way fun to listen to. keep it goin dude, i'm subscribed and i come home everyday hoping to see a new cover. I appreciate what you're doing man!

[@Nicksrgnt]

dude, you are my idol. i am going to play my guitar more often because of you

[@messiah1708]

best cover ive heard so far good job, UNEARTH!

[@NealHXC]

Thank you! I threw a bunch of tabs together and used my ear on some parts to get it to sound as close as possible to the real song.

[@vaultmiamoto000]

Dude you kickass at this song i really want to learn it and do a cover myself *headbangs*

[@NealHXC]

Best guitar ever, imo

[@xmusicxmanx1223]

most legit cover of composure ive ever seen nice man

[@paralyzingsilences]

nice cover dude. ohh and i took your advice from ages ago and listened to august burns red and i think they're awesome :]

[@keegatykeeg16]

dude. your new guitar is amazing. it sounds awesome. kick ass re-do btw.

[@NealHXC]

The neck is puny. I love it. I played my jackson the other day from not playing it for a few months and the neck on my jackson seemed absolutely enormous. The neck on the LTD is tiny and I can absolutely haul ass on it. you'll love it.

[@NealHXC]

Thanks a lot man. I made a re-do cause I thought I could play this a LOT cleaner, and I knew how to make my video a higher quality, I also had a new guitar and everything. It's my favorite song so I thought I should give it it's respect by covering it correctly :)

[@ScoobWRX04]

jeeeeze you make playing guitar easy, your fingers flow perfectly

[@brettlockerhead]

Dude, I watched this on my iPod Touch today in Panera Bread. :) It was awesome. I love this video. :D

[@NealHXC]

haha thanks man.. it's in drop c tuning. (CGCFAD)

[@mrSPUDn1ck]

if i could play like that i would be smiling through the whole cover =D

[@imachocolatekid]

reaaly clean cover

[@harbbzz]

sick cover ! easily my favourite abr song

[@brettlockerhead]

I just converted this video to an MP4 so I could put it on my iPod. :) You are holy, Neal.

[@NealHXC]

I only learned the harmonies by ear, but thanks man!

[@Arjunx1]

pretty much perfect. really nice!

[@Cornishfingers]

my favourite band, your sick dude

[@XxxscooterfortxxX]

great cover

[@NealHXC]

that's awesome dude, it looks gorgeous in vintage black too. That was my second choice. white, VB, or red. I just thought the black hardware and pearl looked best on white. the gold is still sick on the vintage, you'll love it dude.

[@tjrocks20]

thats amazing man, keep up the good work

[@ladicius]

YESSSSS. all about tone. and you are an alien re: freakishly good fretwork, son

[@NealHXC]

I talk to him online every once in a while, he recognizes me and he knows I play guitar so it's pretty cool haha. I learned this song with tabs first then fixed a few things by ear. I just play whatever I think sounds best, I sometimes never really play exactly what a tab tells me.

[@godjesusmoses]

you look really into it

[@Aexsjd]

awesome cover man keep up the good work

[@NealHXC]

Thanks a lot bro, I greatly appreciate it.

[@InZenMusicOfficial]

man those breakdowns have some difficult rhythms. great job

[@NealHXC]

Thanks! your videos are great.

[@NealHXC]

Wow that's so awesome to hear man.. you don't even understand. That inspires me so much to keep making covers. Thank you! Have you heard all of Constellations yet?

[@MGDizzleDawg]

nice recover man still got it down like a mofo i wanted that guitar for so long dude how amazing is it

[@NealHXC]

FINALLY someone who realizes that's what I was going for.

[@NealHXC]

It's incredible. The neck is very thin so it's easy to haul ass on it. Best neck I have ever played on!

[@lobster272]

awesome job man. i remember chatting with you on the abr stickam sessions.

[@Neptune0100]

I must try this...

[@666thesacman]

this is hella good man

[@osubucks2010]

nice! i cant wait to check that out. make them proud!

[@NealHXC]

In this video I was using a Line 6 Spider III 75 watter, with a Metal Master distortion pedal. that amp blew up in May of this year, so recently I've been using my first amp, a lame 10 watt Ibanez. It holds up though.

[@Dpiiiius]

so good! i want to be good at the guitar! im a singer. how long did it take you like to actually get "good" at guitar?

[@RiskKurtis]

dude good job! your have a very good guitar! im workin on gettin myself a 1000 too, i have a Viper 400 and it plays nice, great cover man.

[@awndru]

dude great re-do cover lmao. the quality is awesome bro did you get a new cam?

[@Dennis0330]

yeeeeaaaah goood breakdown finally! :)

[@Behebick87]

i stumbled upon this video while looking for ABR covers, you have no idea who i am =]

[@nickrothouse]

beast mode. ahaha best breakdowns ever

[@shrimptim]

great idea, i'll consider it

[@messiah1708]

Sick ass cover! im thinking of doing one myself...

[@TheBrownTrooper]

Dude amazing cover! How did you go about learning how to play the breakdowns? Those are the tricky parts for me in this song.

[@KippSa]

sick cover dude

[@riverkingWR5]

Your covers are sick bro. Don't listen to haters. If you can play ABR you're pretty damn good. If you haven't already, you should start up/find a band! I'd definitely listen to it.

[@7characters]

Perfection, how are you recording this man? Straight into the pc? The quality is amazing.

[@KippSa]

wow...awesome

[@JakeS909]

Awesome Job!!

[@GrandblueSkies]

I love the bass drop at 3:15

[@NealHXC]

No, I played along with it on my radio. You can tell I did this because at the end when it goes out of sync, you can kind of hear it have an echo effect, because the backing track screaming and real track screaming in the video are just a few milliseconds off.

[@NealHXC]

the EC-1000s do! it's delicious. thanks man.

[@NealHXC]

Drop C.

[@joshua103191]

cool cover!! you played really well!! hahah! if you we're here in the philippines, i'll definitely want to form a band with you. Keep doing such a good job. :) Godbless!

[@christhcore]

hye dude you guitar is amazing!!

[@Uhmsters]

What Amp are you using? I have the same guitar (Esp Ec-1000) in vintage black :)

[@NealHXC]

he's right, the only con is that it's hard to get up to higher frets. with the m-1000 that's not a problem because of the shape difference. I think the ec-1000 looked a lot cooler, and the difficulty of getting to higher frets wasn't that big of a deal to me. but of course, I would recommend the ec-1000

[@Randinator]

Wow while I was looking at the comments, I could have been seeing his guitar, I think I could get in on that...

[@AbbiGrace23]

This is awesome! How long have you been playing?

[@joshuajl69]

pretty cool

[@uhilikeslipknot]

im gettin that guitar in red

[@NealHXC]

Haha thanks man. That's what I go for, I don't like sticking to one guitar at all haha. Eclipses are a lot of money! BUt you should go for an ltd ec-1000 or ec-500. The 500 is only 600 dollars I think.

[@NealHXC]

I remember you man, I wish abr would get back on stickam just for the hell of it.

[@motionlotion97]

dude...ur amazing at guitar :D

[@NealHXC]

It's a tough song. Some really weird ass chords, but I'm definitely going for it. I wanna learn Set in Motion too.

[@NealHXC]

This guitar is great, although the toggle switch began to not function correctly, but I took it apart and cleaned it out and it was fine, so I guess some sawdust was blocking the signal. I think it was just my bad luck. All the other people I know who got this guitar absolutely LOVED it so I'm sure you will too man.

[@deathmetalglenn]

@NealHXC Sweet cover man, I've seen a few of your vids and all your ABR stuff is solid!! I have the same guitar, only difference is you play it alot better than i can! Keep it up dude :)

[@WtZuck]

Nice cover and nice axe. Which do you like better, you're EC or the Jackson you played in your other vid?

[@LifeandDeath92]

that was sick bro! like shit, i eared about half the song, but your version is so much better lmao. im gunna try and learn off this vid. thanks!

[@TwoHeadedPen]

good stuff bro. sweet guitar and finish choice. im looking into getting one either the ec 401 or 1000. on ebay i saw an ec 1000 priced at 750 new...seems risky

[@jaydogisthebest]

good job i wish i could play like u

[@brettlockerhead]

Well, it was a URL converter. It converted the URL of this video to a Flash MP4 for my iPod, but the sound didn't come with the video for some reason. :(

[@NealHXC]

I'm using a Digitech metal master distortion pedal!

[@boynamedlen]

didn't know LTD's came with that binding on the headstock... good cover

[@NealHXC]

I actually used the tab that JB, the guitarist of ABR, used

[@NealHXC]

@xXFleurdelysXx It's my favorite too man! thanks!

[@CANADAmAn85]

Awesome cover!! What amp are you running out of?

[@tdwpkillz]

what kind of amp do you play out of dude? Sick vid by the way. ive been playing for awhile but im just getting into harder stuff like ABR. they're kinda spastic in some stuff so its hard to follow along and remember everything.

[@chazm89]

i can never resist doin that headbang at 3:16 whenever i play this song

[@chefgomez]

nice nice man! it's pretty bad ass. lol how long it take u to cover it?

[@Chubypenguin]

thanks i figured out before you told me but thanks for replying man.

[@guitarmniac]

I take a piece of clothe like from a shirt or something and rip it off and then tie it around your neck tight enough to a point were it mutes your strings but doesnt act like a capo:) I use it alot when im doing stuff like sweep picking but try it cause it helps alot:)

[@BrutalScream669]

dude...that...kicked...ASSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ChrisCraneSan]

Again a Ballin vid man, chops to your new guitar!

[@itsjustjace]

every one of your videos is dead-on. i love that LTD, too... was thinking about buying one because the neck on my les paul isn't the greatest for music like this. single-cuts for the win.

[@NealHXC]

Yes, but I have a distortion pedal with it.

[@pollsf]

thanks. keep beastn that guitar

[@NealHXC]

LTD EC-1000, a bit different than a les paul. the bottom tooth is pointed instead of curved, gives it a more metal look haha.

[@NealHXC]

@SuperCrazytank Thanks a lot man. Try this song! Or maybe even Rationalist.

[@NealHXC]

Hahah that'd be awesome man. thanks a lot, take care.
