SOUL DESPAIR - Return To Gold (One-Take Cover) + TAB

[@joaoldmedeiros]

...and the drums are even harder than the guitar. Come watch me drum for Soul Despair: ► Lisboa, 16 Jan 2025 - tickets.tokyo.com.pt/events/141 ► Porto, 17 Jan 2025 - ticketline.sapo.pt/evento/soul-despair-orquidea-missigno-88722

[@rain_kd_kd1]

Adding the tabs on screen is a great decision!

[@joaoldmedeiros]

I thought it made it more entertaining considering I only had one camera angle. Glad you appreciate the call man!

[@NickSlipnir]

So true!

[@cr0wguitar]

When you cover a song but on a different instrument then you play for the band... You are a machine, my dude.

[@joaoldmedeiros]

Appreciate that a lot man. I take for granted a lot of stuff, so I'm glad you point out some of the cool shit I can do. Really

[@cr0wguitar]

@@joaoldmedeiros I can appreciate that sentiment. It's nice to see comments work as intended, eh? Hahaha, keep on rockin bro! \m/

[@souldespairband]

6 years ago I discovered your channel and started to being a loyal fan of your content. You were my biggest inspiration to my guitar playing and I watched your videos all the time to learn my favorite songs. Since I met you my life changed. It was the best thing that could've happen to me. Thank you for being my best friend and for all the moments we cherished. It is really a dream come true to see a song I wrote being played by you on your channel. Love you forever friend. Pedro 💟

[@joaoldmedeiros]

Love you friend. Beyond words! ❤

[@MannyMo_]

Hey Joao, you probably don’t remember me but I’ve been a long time supporter for years, probably since your Garden of Sankhara cover. I was around 13 years old at the time. I’ve been watching you since I was 13, now I am 21 years old and you’re pretty much the reason why I started playing guitar and writing music, or at least try to. I have a few okay-ish songs on my channel, but I’m all new to it and still learning. I’ve been busy with college but this video just motivated me to write a song, thank you Joao!

[@joaoldmedeiros]

Hey Manny. I do remember, but you might have switched accounts during all that time. Am I right? I think it's beautiful that you have somehow "grown up" with my videos, and that they have brought you to create something that enriches your life. Always keep this up, besides college, work, and whatever else life throws at you. That's my only advice! Thank YOU for sharing and for the support throughout all this time! ❤

[@MannyMo_]

@@joaoldmedeiros I’ve had a lot of KZbin accounts growing up haha! Thank you for taking the time to read and respond to my comment!

[@yeserguitar]

Bro unlocked all of the skill tree.. Wonderful song dude, it would be nice to see you nailing the drums!!! Enjoy 🖤

I am genuinely so happy for you and the boys. Soul Despair really have come a long way, and I’m excited for what’s to come. Unfortunately, I am no longer living in Portugal so I won’t be able to attend. However, I send you all big hugs and kisses, and I know it’s gonna be a blast! I miss you all to death. Pollo 👍🏻

[@joaoldmedeiros]

You will be present still, not only in spirit, but even physically: through your bass tracks on the self-titled. Sending love my guy 👍🏻 POLLO

From the bottom of my heart bro

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

You are a monster! Please do some drum cam videos of the set! Didn't know you played drums as well

[@joaoldmedeiros]

Cheers Brandon that's really kind of you! Yeah I've had my lil bro's kit at home from a young age, and ended up being the one who played the most while he invested his time into other crazier percussion instruments. We'll definitely try to record something at the show!

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

@ that’s cool as hell man! What did you pick up first between drums and guitar?

[@kenzenlee]

Holy crap! Its so awesome that you are joining a band for drums! Its crazy how hardworking and talented you are in so many fields. I'm absolutely mindblown that you managed to play this in one take and made it sound so tight. Absolutely monstrous!

[@joaoldmedeiros]

I'm really glad you appreciate that Lee. I've been working hard at the drums, I even joined a gym again so I could get in shape to play a 45 minute set properly! Thank you for your support always ❤️

Nice as always, very happy for you for those 2 dates. Btw, adding tabs on screen is THE best idea, it makes asymmetric mesures and other tricky stuffs easier to catch on 1st listen
