Between the Buried and Me "Mordecai" GUITAR COVER

The song that started it all...... I first heard this on some 5 song sampler I got with an Atreyu CD. Initially I thought it was a song called Between the Buried and Me by Atreyu and I kept wondering why it was so much better than all the songs on the actual album. After some quick research I found out it was actually a different band's name and I became interested in heavier, proggier music in general. Haven't looked back since.
Thanks BTBAM. Can't wait for an evening with you guys.

I really hope that Paul and Dusty have seen your videos because you consistently do an excellent job with their material. I’m sure they would enjoy all of your work.

Discovered this song and band the exact same way you did! Absolutely love this song and in my opinion, the gold standard of prog metal bands of this era. Super good cover dude, that lead solo at the end is perfect!

[@dcfromthev]

I heard this song on the same sample CD bro holy shit. I've been a fan ever since, saw them several times in 04/05 some of the best live shows I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing. I'm seeing them in Sac in May, I hear they're playing a lot of stuff from the early days I am beyond excited!!!!

[@diabeticmonkey]

DCfromtheV Same here! Thank you Victory samplers

[@DCRivs]

Amazing! That clean sweep you do in the solo is incredible! Thanks for sharing

[@Jasonhoods]

This guy is fucking incredible. I'm am pretty good at guitar and by pretty good I mean I'm smelly ass at it but I have learned parts of this song including the sweep and I have like 1k tries in it and have done it clean like 7 times.

[@DCRivs]

@@Jasonhoods Damn bro, that's good still. It takes an enormous amount of skill!

[@yaboyreege7158]

Wow. What a beautifully accurate cover. Incredible

[@GJM6991]

Great playing man 😈👍😎 Ur a beast x

[@blacktaxi2d]

oh shit, that was the exact sampler that got me into BTBAM as well haha. always jammed that in my friends civic in high school

[@Extolguitarest]

Nice! I figured there would be some others who shared a similar experience. Good stuff.....

[@Keiferdeifer]

Best album

[@TheGreenpig1]

Very good. Love the clean parts in this

[@ToddLoaf]

Dude this is phenomenal!

[@i528DNA]

Fantasic job on the #BTBAM Covers, you're the only guy I've seen make alot of BTBAM Cover videos! I would love to see and hear more covers from you! Much love brotha

[@wilsonkeeler5977]

The ending of this song is so beautiful

[@jessetarr2771]

Excellent guitar cover of an excellent composition...from an occasionally excellent guitar player. Great job man!!!

[@Extolguitarest]

Thanks much! This song will always be near and dear to me (first BTBAM song I heard)

[@peeweesherman]

bro, this..you..are fucking incredible. you're the best that's ever posted this BTBAM shit on KZbin.

[@mdott93]

Saw from the sky, checked your channel and there's tons of btbam. Two of my favourite bands! Def a fan of this channel now. Awesome stuff!

[@Extolguitarest]

Right on man! Glad to have you aboard. I'll definitely be doing a deep dive into BTBAM once I finish up the new Protest album. Oh and whenever Haken releases Virus too....

[@JakeSavich]

Oh yeah

[@JoeDubspit24]

Great job my friend on one of the greatest songs ever made

[@afterstars]

Damn dude.

[@jaymancurt3406]

Awesome job man!

[@crissy2628]

DID you know that the BIG riff at the end of this song was originally in the song When the Sun Kisses the Morning by Prayer for Cleansing, the band the guitarist was in before BTBAM

[@diabeticmonkey]

Tommy was in that band as well if I remember correctly

[@hai9607]

You should get some kind of foot switches or controller haha, great cover as usual man

[@Extolguitarest]

Yeah....I know, haha. I'm just so lazyyyyy

[@dcfromthev]

@@Extolguitarest Apparently money isnt an issue, judging by that beautiful Fractal you're playing through! Great job btw loved it

[@arsonne]

Love BTBAM always but I'd love for them to get some of the really dark and straight up weird riffs and sections they had on TSC. That album might not be their most consistent but it's so dark, angry and full of unique, strange parts.

[@thomasjameson5761]

i have that same sampler. changed my life!

[@SOUNDCONTROLFLA]

Paul is that you ;)

[@brianof1580]

It was a victory record's sample cd I had that shit too

[@viniciusNorris15]

that was amazing! but it still needs a footswitch haha

[@brianhollon178]

I need the tab for the solo!!

[@INSSSTINCT]

Whats your amp

[@Superdudeawesome135]

I assume you are attending the great misdirect tour?

[@Extolguitarest]

First night of the tour :) You?

[@Superdudeawesome135]

Jonathan Nyce nice, I’ll catch them in philly!

[@Extolguitarest]

@@Superdudeawesome135 Noice! Pretty excited to see two sets of the best

[@Superdudeawesome135]

Jonathan Nyce agreed. I just need to see swim to the moon and my life will be complete.

[@Extolguitarest]

@@Superdudeawesome135 haha, yup! I'm not a big mosher but I think I'll be down in the pit for that one

[@dividetheocean1381]

2:15 onwards is pure gold 🙌

[@dcfromthev]

Whole song is perfection : )

[@adaptercrash]

When I play it it's all sad, when they play it it's all boasty

[@seanandahalftv4287]

more like 0:00 and onwards lol

[@jeremymcclure3372]

Do they play in C# or drop C# ?

[@Extolguitarest]

just C#

[@dell74877]

What's the tuning??

[@diabeticmonkey]

C# standard

[@the48thvain]

God wish I could afford a guitar like that lol

[@Extolguitarest]

I found this one used online and it was significantly less than new. There was basically nothing wrong with it either besides some scratches. Keep your eyes peeled :)

[@Dannybrookdao]

Killer🤘🤘

[@Extolguitarest]

Thanks man

[@geoffreybremner6372]

AMAZING PLAYING BRO
