DEAFHEAVEN - Baby Blue (Full Guitar Cover)

[@akaalexanderking]

Thanks @Mendel Spalter for the request, had an amazing time covering this one! As you can see, I do touch on the requests you send me, so keep them coming! Rock On

[@mendelspalter282]

You actually did it! Thanks so much! Awesome cover!

[@akaalexanderking]

Happy you enjoyed! It's my favorite one from New Bermuda, I love this song 😍

[@loril4391]

Please do more Deafheaven cover!!! I would like to have The Pecan Tree!😍

[@akaalexanderking]

I'll definitely be doing more Deafheaven in the near future, these covers are by far the most satisfying ones 😉

[@fatalrecordings]

I like drumming along to your video because the drums/album track are quiet in your mix. Good playing, dude! I would have so much fun playing this tune with other musicians IRL

[@akaalexanderking]

Glad it helps man! Absolutely, playing this live is incredible, such a dynamic track

[@alexanderfranzen5058]

Yo know this is an old video. You shred and this song looks like so much fun to play 🤘

[@akaalexanderking]

Appreciate it man, glad you enjoyed!

[@RavencoarEDM]

yeah, that's it, subscribed to the channel around the half minute mark. amazing stuff mate

[@akaalexanderking]

Thanks a million man, appreciate it

[@RavencoarEDM]

@@akaalexanderking thank you for the content! i'm eager to try my luck witht the song now, even though i've only been playing for a little less than 6 months hahah

[@akaalexanderking]

Let me know how you get on with it!

[@RedMachineKieran]

Great to see a fellow Irishman rock some Deafheaven songs 🖤🖤

[@akaalexanderking]

Now we only need them to come over to Ireland for a proper gig

[@RedMachineKieran]

@@akaalexanderking have you not seen them live before man?

[@akaalexanderking]

Unfortunately not, they surely are very high in my list of bands to see as soon as possible

[@RedMachineKieran]

@@akaalexanderking I seen them in Glasgow and in Belfast. Met them in Glasgow and had beers and smokes with Kerry and George after the gig. They are absolute gentlemen 🤘

[@TheShaker95]

Great job dude the sound is perfect ☄☄

[@akaalexanderking]

Thanks a lot man. I wish I could say that after 4 Deafheaven covers I found the magic formula, but every single time the set-up is different. Always tricky but so rewarding

[@TheShaker95]

@@akaalexanderking I agree with you, Deafheaven sound is awesome and it's always a pleasure to cover their songs

[@akaalexanderking]

Definitely, looking forward to catching them live as soon as things will start rolling again

[@mendelspalter282]

@@akaalexanderking I had a ticket to their concert in Brooklyn and then corona happened

[@krisdatta6081]

Sick cover man!

[@akaalexanderking]

Thanks Kris 🤘🏻

[@diamartin6865]

great cover!

[@akaalexanderking]

Thanks a lot!

[@rayclardy]

Man I wish you did tabs for these

[@akaalexanderking]

Man, I wish I did as well, so many people reached out to ask for them. But I have to be honest with myself: I'm just too lazy

[@rayclardy]

@@akaalexanderking I can’t blame you. You must have a good ear though! Impressive stuff (to me).

[@akaalexanderking]

Thanks Ray, appreciate it!

[@orkidemoonlit8845]

Man i wish you had solo lesson

[@akaalexanderking]

As in teaching how to play the solo or as in 1o1 lessons? I have neither, but one would be easier ahahah

[@erikdale3775]

Been trying to figure out that first 5 seconds of the solo right after those bends. I see you're using alternate picking, do you also use pull offs? If you have a tab you went off for the solo, can you send along the link? Thanks!

[@akaalexanderking]

I didn't have a tab unfortunately, I tend to always play by ear. But I'll rewatch the video and let you know :)

[@akaalexanderking]

Hey Erik, I went back and played that, I can confirm the first descending part is all alternate picking without pull offs (while I clearly go for hammer ons in the ascending part). It's pretty much a standard pentatonic rundown, lots of 14th and 12th frets ;)

[@akaalexanderking]

Glad you enjoyed 🤘

[@fauzanmuhammad5697]

@@akaalexanderking as always dude

[@meiyor_tom]

Nice!, standard tuning?

[@akaalexanderking]

Yep :) and thanks for watching

[@christmasham4312]

No tab?

[@akaalexanderking]

I never use tabs man, sorry

[@MK-oz2lf]

I see you used chorus instead of phaser

[@akaalexanderking]

A combination of both actually. You think the original is more of the phaser side of things?

[@MK-oz2lf]

@@akaalexanderking Yeah I'd say the studio version is using phaser because even with the doubling I don't hear chorus happening. This still sounds good though.
