Avenged Sevenfold - EXIST (FULL INSTRUMENTAL COVER)

BOOM. After 7 project files, 17GB of footage and all together 2 months of work, The full cover from scratch of Avenged Sevenfold's "Exist" is done!
This was in all honesty an absolute blast to learn, play and record. The guys in A7X truly outdid themselves with this monster of a song imo.
I hope you guys enjoy it as much as i did making it!

Describing you as a great guitar player would be an understatement.

By the way, im sorry. I totally meant to shave before the video but i forgot. Didn’t mean to make you all so jealous of my magnificent beard!

Keep the magnificent beard ! 😂

[@snjr3642]

No shave november brother

[@martinronningyt]

As i stated in the description, this took aaalot of work from start to finish, so i would be eternally grateful if you guys would drop a like and share it with everyone from your friends to your pet turtle🐢 Hell, send it to Syn and A7X on insta, maybe they’ll see it! In other news, i’ll be releasing the guitar track for this song! I think listening to it, especially slowed down, is a great way to learn it and well, it sounds cool ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Stay safe, guys!✌🏻 BTW, all the tones i used in this video are on Positive Grid's ToneCloud! Look up "Martin Ronning"!

[@Cpt_Quack]

Sooooo dam good Martin! Good work!

[@betraid]

Good job man, im sure band see this, and they will like this for sure, you did amazing job.

[@costin8085]

Amazing work brother, just WOW! You took a masterful piece of Syn's work and made it even better! 👍👍🔥

[@RuiPalmeira]

the solo you did on 12:52 is just DAMN PRETTY

[@MR_MIRTH]

I see some parts have changed,

[@jcmartinez4450]

a7x DEFINITELY needs to see this especially syn

[@jcmartinez4450]

@Zenevo Game totally agree

[@AKHalex]

I feel like this is one of the cleanest, best, most accurate and most impressive guitar covers of any song I have ever seen.

[@TheRedAnvil40]

Most amazing part is that it's not just a playthrough. He actually produced it.

[@Muchlason1965]

[@xGuitarInFlamesx]

I never thought I would see such a clean cover of this song. Amazing job bro, i'm sure every second dedicated to this video was totally worth it

[@martinronningyt]

Thank you, man!🙏 And yes, it absolutely was😁

Hey man just dropping in to say that 13:13 is fucking INSANE. so simple but with the double kick it works so well. Love your stuff man!

Imagine putting this tguy and syn writing something together, holy shit

[@konjfful2963]

I love avenged sevenfold so much, I wouldn't be playing guitar today if it wasn't for them. You transformed this song dude. Actually made me cry towards the end I can seriously tell how much effort and care went into this. Incredible man. Let's hope their next album brings even more incredible music!!

[@martinronningyt]

Wow thank you so much! Really means alot!😁 And yeah, hoping for another 15 min song haha!

[@francescobarsotti8469]

it did! the album was great!

[@Lajnusch]

My expectations were really high for this cover, and you still managed to blow them out the window! Absolutely insane dude, never stop what you’re doing.

[@metalhead2536]

14:03 seems very similar to the end of cosmic's solo, pretty cool

[@SimonEichingerGuitarist]

Outstanding job, absolutely impeccable!! I don‘t wanna know how many hours of production went into this...

Thanks alot!🙏💥 Too many man, too many😂

@@lvhruaia6865 is that to say Zacky Vengeance isnt good? He is playing the same difficult sequence as Gates in the beginning, just in a different octave.

[@nikitaprosin4993]

@@martinronningyt how dare you use an Ernie Ball guitar instead of Zacky's signature? Lol jk Amazing playing and video...truly.

I dont know there is someone EXIST in this world can cover this epic song. You are the next level guitarist brother 🤟

[@JamesChampionshipWrestling]

It sounds so accurate you got a copyright claim lol

[@ignaciogarcia6585]

Well, I think this is the best Avenged Sevenfold cover in the whole internet. You should be proud, this is what perfect execution looks like!

[@urboi2252]

This deserves so many more likes. Recreating every part is insane

[@frankensteinandctulhu7389]

God damn brother, this is far beyond the best cover I’ve seen of any song.

[@slushpuppydevil]

Wow. That was hands down the best cover I've ever seen, when the "vocals" started I was moved nearly to tears, never though an instrumental cover on KZbin would do that. Congratulations now get some hard earned rest!

[@andras.89]

13:12 that impro though, nice touch. (This whole video is a superb work of art. Thank You for this!)

[@cubano85]

What a masterpiece this cover!!!! The ending is stunning. Congrats.

[@triboremenendez1681]

Never imagined a great cover like this exists

[@TheSaksutin]

Brother. The solos at the end just melted this drummers heart.

[@xX0T1Xx]

This is beyond impressive, this is so fucking amazing, the fact that this video has ANY dislikes at all is mind blowing, this is phenomenal dude

[@martinronningyt]

Thank you so much, man!

[@Alpom]

That was very delicious for my ears :D Epic cover!

[@rizhaction]

man your mastering skills are near producer levels

[@OmnivoraMan1981]

This cover deserves 10M++ views!!!

[@enri.santos]

I always come back to both of Martin's Exist covers, because of how much I love his ending solos, it sounds so good. I'll be getting my vacations soon and I'll be covering both of his solos, combined into one with my favorite parts of both, this guy is just amazing! Much love, man, I'll never forget some years back when you gave me tips for playing fast and I never believed I would ever make it.

[@martinronningyt]

That truly means so much to me, thank you!!

[@TheRedAnvil40]

This is literally the only cover I can find on KZbin because of how crazy the guitar is in this.

[@SyahrulVEVO]

I’m so proud of you. The amount of effort to nail this was incredibly magnificent. The drum bass frequencies, the bassline, perfect guitar tones... you’re wonderful man! Ah what an eargasm 🤤 6:44 I smiled when I see your face

[@nungshilong7982]

This cover deserves million views... So underrated... Greta job

[@jesseang9186]

You deserve more recognition dude! Your dedication to going as really close to the original. Not only the guitar but that start surprised me! GREAT WORK

[@mohamedzakhwan1243]

Every now and then I would watch the previous cover, and think how amazing that one already is. Then you came up with this masterpiece and truly outdid yourself here Martin. Glad to see you safe and healthy during these times, and we look forward to hearing more of your awesome projects in the near future.

[@m4x_129]

Such a song played with such perfection...

[@JuanMartinez-ik9ee]

This just doesn't seize to amaze me, the added solos at the end are just a fantastic touch. Again, great work!!

[@tylerotis6209]

You are officially my second favorite guitarist (behind Syn, of course lol ). Dude, I’ve been watching your videos for a long time, and I’m always impressed. It’s been great watching you improve over the years and see where you are today. I’ve talked with you a bit on some comments from other videos and a little bit on insta as well and man I can truly say I aspire to be even half the guitarist you are. To be able to learn this song, presumably by ear, and play it well, let alone accurately, really shows your skills and dedication to the hobby. Well done!!!

[@jhout8152]

Breathless, this was 15 minutes of pure epicness.

[@btdoubles4859]

How am I just now seeing this, this is the best cover I've probably ever seen...of an entire 15 minute song that is, holy shit you nailed it for only 2 months

[@blackenblue2450]

So i clicked this video while walking to the gym to listen to it for the first time, locked my phone and put it in my pocket (have YT premium) As soon as I heard the arpeggiated synths in the intro, I went "NO WAY, this guy actually went the extra mile to make the intro himself 💪" I knew that meant you actually put lotsa time into this and so should i, so i took my phone back out, and spent the next 15 mins watching this on the curb Bravo, man! Good fucking shit

[@martinronningyt]

Hahah thanks so much man! That’s awesome to read!

[@alejandrocabrera6646]

I love the little twist in the end ,it should be in the original song 🎈, nice job man,the solos , the chords, the production, it's so amazing to see how far You have evolved as a guitar player since i saw one of your first covers of planets.. compare it to this ,and it's crazy.

[@Raydia]

This song is by far one of the best songs of the entire decade and you did a god damn amazing job covering it!

[@Minecol5]

This is my favorite A7X song, and probably the hardest to play on guitar. You nailed it and made it very cool to watch! Thank you!

[@SynysterShadow]

Absolutely insane how fucking great this cover is!!! Dude I'm blown away how clean and perfect the sound was, and how you threw your own spin on it toward the end there, that shredding was amazing!!! 10/10 cover for sure bro, excellent job!!! :D

[@jernbean7856]

Smartie cover brought me to tears. I love this version. I'm playing this at my funeral for my black part of my family to show the real me
