Shogun - Trivium guitar cover (All guitar parts) | Epiphone MKH Les Paul & Dean MKH

[@curtiswardley6312]

This was a big one, I planned to have it out 2 months ago but I kind of exhausted myself mentally trying to manage of the stuff going on in this track as putting these videos together is already a task, plus some frustrations with working the camera (the main rhythm guitars shot as a really high exposure again for some reason and I nearly scrapped everything and fiddled with adjusting the colour to make it not so blinding bright. Upon numerous remixes I finally found something I’m happy to show t you. The way some of the parts are played live is different to how they were recorded and I tried to showcase both ways where possible. Specifically the verse sections where Matt plays octave chords over the main rhythm riff. He has stated in a tutorial that there's a lot of layering in that section and plays a simpler version of it live. The first verse showcases my recreation of those layered parts (0:57 - 1:10) and the second verse has the way Matt plays it live (2:08-2:22) Cheers for checking it out I hope I did this epic track justice and the Trivium boys dig it if they ever stumble upon it. Cheers Kings

Brother… you’re INSANE. The amount of work this must’ve been is crazy. Awesome as always 🫡

[@andresberrelleza9813]

0:28 I believe the riff here is just one stroke on B string and followed by just hammer-on. Like a legatto. It doesn't sound bad but feels weird imo.

[@iLoveBakedBeans]

The way its been 3 weeks and I'm STILL coming back to watch it again. How does this not have more views?

[@jeremyeisenmnn7681]

We are holding out until he does torn.

[@БорисСтегнин]

Офигенно исполнение, особенно соло😍

[@parrydox.gaming]

First four lines are so perfect for setting up this entire song. Epic.

[@nikverschuren4291]

One of these best songs, along with when all light dies.

[@Bryan06106]

THE KING IS BACK 🔥🙏

[@e-train765]

I have been waiting VERY patiently for this one. WELL DONE SIR!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘 I was lucky enough to see them play this live when they were on the Deadmen & Dragons Tour last year, and it was an ABSOLUTE treat. My gateway Trivium album, one of my favorite metal albums of all time. It was a pleasure to watch you do this cover 😌👏🤘 Again WELL DONE!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 I cannot imagine all the effort that went into making this. Make sure to rest dude, you've definitely earned a break after this masterpiece cover of a masterpiece song 🤘🤘🤘🤘

Thanks, Bro!!! Missed your videos with Trivium)

[@LoneNinja321]

For that octave part at 2:09, the chords that sound the closest to me are E|---------------- B|----------------- G|---------------- D|-9-----11----12---11---9---11---12---12---12---11 A|-9-----9------10----7----9----9-----7-----9-----9---9 E|-7-----7-------7-----7----7----7-----7-----7-----7---7 B|----------------

Ok king, I see you with the 15 year anniversary big boy track. Love it. The last solo Matt plays is by far my favorite in all of trivium. It’s so simple yet fast and in your face. Time off well deserved for sure. But the biggest question no one is asking here, where’s the hair tutorial and vocal covers!? Any thoughts on picking up a new MKH? Nothing against the old one! Curious if the thought comes across? Love mine and would sound killer with the Fishman on this track. Maybe a Corey sig?

[@AdamSelene_]

Welcome back sir, the cover is fire!

[@kas4106]

Curtis I was watching the old one and i was about to go to sleep when I saw the new one.... LET ME SLEEP xD . A-M-A-Z-I-N-G

One of my favorite songs of all time!!! Thank you for posting this, (again) great work! Your covers are top notch man! 🤘🏻🎸🎶🔥

[@CameronPennefather]

It's been said before but I'm saying it again. This song is a damn masterpiece. How you managed to cover it, blows my mind.

[@getaround1]

THE KING IS BACK!!! And what better song to comeback with than Shogun? Great cover too!!! (😒 Torn Between Scylla and Charybdis where?)

[@gerrybbadd]

Amazing stuff again brother. You just continue to level up!

[@Szmoguch]

An absolutely monumental effort!! What a play through. Nailed it.

[@Buckers2202]

The amount of work you must put in is insane! Amazing stuff man 🔥

[@SirMrBerk]

hell yeah brother

[@enrisantos6704]

This is amazing Curtis, you already had the best Shogun cover on KZbin (especially the solo and acoustic parts), so to beat it with another cover yourself is very impressive and quite an exhaustive task I'd imagine hahaha I'd say it was worth it, as it sounds almost 1/1 with the studio version, it's very nice to see you stepping up your music. Congratulations and God bless you, bro!

[@siobhanmurray1081]

EPIC!! YOU BLOODY LEGEND!

[@doc25000]

Nice work, killer video too!

[@driscollmach1219]

Sick that u did it on his two signature guitars !!

[@jordanstickl2295]

Yes man!! 10/10

[@abysscreaturekatsu3443]

Months ago, I tried the Shogun album and didn't quite like it at first due to preference of clean vocals, And then i got hooked recently.

[@MartinMD69]

Great cover my king

[@linker94]

what that sound/noise at 8:13 if I may ask?

[@watson3501]

It’s a pinch harmonic

[@AIRANPBGTRA]

amazing!

[@oldbianchismooth9459]

God dammit I love that riff after the first solo

[@NJRiffGuitarist]

Incredible cover, and it's definitely incredible to see how much progress you've made since the last take of this song! 🎸🔥🤘

[@mauro1427]

i still need torn between but i loved this cover, nice job bro

[@SavinovFilms]

Some epic stuff, don't understand how you learned all that crazy parts😮

[@IAmUBoy]

Clean as always !

[@nestorsevi3757]

Bro 😢 thanks for this

[@tobiass1603]

Great cover and great sound! This song is a beast! 🤘

[@wormwza8788]

I love you. Anyways how hard were the ending solos, I can play the rhythm and wanted to attempt the solos. Awesome cover as always!🤘

[@curtiswardley6312]

Matt’s was pretty easy but Corey’s are always tricky to get going but definitely not his hardest from a technical approach. You’ll get there!

[@nicholasromano9609]

amazing!!

[@Greg_Notte]

another great cover 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@ancientgalaxy7697]

How do you get that amazing tone man? Great cover!🤘🎸

[@TONY-gc5ey]

Sounds different when you pick instead of hammering on on the verses. Didn’t realize that’s how Matt does it live haha

[@widel_guitar1928]

Insane work🤘🤘Cheers

This is a fucking sick cover dude.

the day curtis upload torn will be the day my life will be completed 😂😂 (nice cover tho 🔥🔥🔥)

[@sophisticatedgentleman1920]

Never been this early 😘🤘

[@stavros2656]

Easily the best trivium song. For your next trivium cover, Pain should be a great choice.

[@saintmanuel]

And in my opinion still their overall best album to this day.

[@emmanuelcaliso3725]

Hey Mate, do you still have your Guitar stems for this cover?

[@VapidDillon]

The amount of work you put into your covers is inspiring to me! Would love to work with you if you’d want to collab with other creators

[@merrittboydston7569]

Open chested Curtis isn't even his final form!
