BODOM AFTER MIDNIGHT - Paint The Sky With Blood - Guitar Cover (Alexi Laiho's track + both solos)

Rest in peace. It's quite evident that he had much more to give. There's not many artists that have this kind of unique touch to their work. Nor the attention to detail that's not only in this song, but all his songs. This is some beautiful stuff, reminiscent of early CoB but still fresh. Looking forward to the other tracks on the EP!
This is recorded in 3 segments, before solo, solo, after the solo. Everything is recorded live. I panned the song itself a bit to the right, and myself a bit to the left. LEARNT BY EAR, I DO NOT HAVE ANY TABS.

Alexi would be proud that's coming from someone who's followed from beginning to end

[@darkchild_13]

Awesome work! I hope to learn it as soon as possible... in this song there is everything that Alexi is... The greatest of all time !!! ❤️🇫🇮

nailed it bro! greetings from Chile!

Thank you 😎🤘

That chord the song hits at 1:50 is fantastic.

Thanks for this Cover 🤟 R.I.P. Alexi 😭

[@sebastianlopetegui2545]

Excellent cover man!

[@AAB4ttery]

Aye man, thanks for this cover! It actually made it easier for me to listen and play the intro riff since it was kinda drowned in the original mix.

[@JesperEkstal]

Yeah it's kinda hard to hear. I'm not too sure about the first 4 notes in every bar (of the intro riff), but other than that it should be pretty damn accurate.

[@AAB4ttery]

@@JesperEkstal Yeah I actually listened after slowing down the way you play it and learning it that way. It sounds pretty accurate now that I’m listening to the original guitar.

[@JesperEkstal]

Thanks man!

[@progactif]

Very nice! So sad we won't have music like this anymore, I wasnt fan of most ep songs from latest albums but this one was a banger.

[@JesperEkstal]

thanks bro. I feel the exact same way. This sounds so much more vital than the last CoB albums. Maybe it was the new lineup, maybe he wanted to prove he could do it "on his own". Maybe he kinda knew where he was heading and gave it his absolute all? We'll never know, I suppose. It's extremely admirable either way.

[@oneriffaday6162]

damn !! 🤟

[@Repousserleslimiteslepodcast]

Very solid brother!!!! 🤟

[@metal_moonlighter9235]

Wow you have clearly worked really hard on this in such a short time, incredible! Also would love to know what that random star and that hamer are in the background!

[@JesperEkstal]

Thanks. I have developed quite a good ear through the years. But yeah still a lot of work, but it's easier when you really love the song! The hamer is a chinese fake replica of glenn tiptons guitar. Horrible quality, but it's fully playable and looks killer of course. I'm a huge judas priest fan. The star is a ran guitars custom shop. just as the hamer I got it for the looks, I'm shallow like that haha 🤣 Very, very nice build quality though, and it's totally unique. There's a jason becker - altitudes cover on my channel were you can see it a little more clearly.

[@metal_moonlighter9235]

@@JesperEkstal thanks for the reply I’ll check it out! Ran guitars are cool, first saw one at a Vader show and love the pointyness.

Great work! This definitely kicks ass!

what amp do you use it sounds so good? and you nailed the song, im gonna use this video to learn this song. much respect 🙏 thank you.

[@JesperEkstal]

I use the kemper. Evh profile (edvaha )

[@EmpyreanLightASMR]

Kind of a stupid question but is this song full of syncopation or something? For the whole thing I feel like the guitars are playing off beat so slightly and it's the coolest effect. Watching you play, I still can't figure it out.

[@danielsantiagosoto9639]

i have dreamed about having a guitar just like yours! is it custom? Awesome cover!

[@JesperEkstal]

Nope, it's not custom. it's a jackson rrx24!
