Converge - The Saddest Day Guitar Cover

A guitar cover of Converge's The Saddest Day.
This song seems like the Bohemian Rhapsody or Stairway to Heaven of metalcore or punk music. It is also is so difficult to play because the power chords go everywhere, wicked fast. I lost tempo and control of myself on many occasions. Regardless, it was very rewarding to learn the whole song from beginning to end.
Gear Used :
Daw : Logic Pro X
Guitar : Gibson SG
Amp : Lepou Hybrit
Edited in : Premiere Pro

Sat down and tried to learn this song by ear when I was about 16 on a very similar SG. Respect to you, you nailed it.

Where do you learn how to do this? Ive been trying to play like this awesome cover and i keep running into things i am unable to perform :(

[@blendernoob64]

I mostly found the song out by ear. It is a very tough song, but it’s so rewarding once you get it down. Play it in D standard, practice your tremolo picking and know some slayer licks and you should be able to play the song fine. Good luck!

@@blendernoob64 thanks bro this video will help me loads! You're a nice guitarist

Try to use Drop D tuning instead.It would be much easier for all the power chords part..

[@blendernoob64]

I think Kurt plays this in D standard. It would have made it much easier at points though.

[@abraxian7090]

I think Blender is right, Converge play in drop c now but the early days were d standard. Swapping fifths around on the bottom two strings that accurately without drop tuning is some death metal deadliness. This is a savage cover!

[@hybrid4117]

@@abraxian7090 yea... It would be hard af playing fifth that fast without drop tuning.. Blender is killin it tho

[@nodude4863]

Tuning?

[@blendernoob64]

It’s in D standard!
