This song live is EPIC, I still having goosebumps

[@asdf9890]

It is amazing live! Best song of the night when I saw them.

[@DrScottzy]

Muse was a blur of epic, start to finish, when I saw them in 2017.

The last few years using the "man with a harmonica" from Once Upon a Time in the West makes this song one of the best live concert moments since Van Halen or Queen

It's so ironic that you hasn't a tremolo, and your cover is the best around KZbin.

Howay the lads!

[@Childofbhaal]

This is sick man. It always blew me away thinking of how Matt Bellamy can write and perform such masterful music. I mean the part where he’s harmonizing his voice along with the guitar is just insane.

[@michaelthelen7505]

finally someone who gets the positioning in the riff at 3:58 correct!

[@ApatheticallyPleasing]

As long as the notes are correct, I don't really see why the position matters.

[@fanieldox]

Baka Makes a difference in sound depending on what strings you’re playing. So if he played this riff on the 19th fret but played all the correct notes you’d see no problem with it???

[@ApatheticallyPleasing]

@@fanieldox Well, then it'd make a difference because that'd be a whole octave higher. However, sometimes a riff that's played on the low E string can also be played on the A string. I've seen people flip out about that before.

[@aqimjulayhi8798]

On some covers people just use the usual tabs where the hand doesn't move at all. To me it sounds sloppy and doesn't have that 'pull-off' sound. Plus, pulling off the right notes actually looks cool, appearance wise.

[@ewnope5280]

@@aqimjulayhi8798 True.

[@montserratefete]

Wow!!! 🤯 That tremolo... and that extra fast picking at 3:30 are crazy!!! 👌

[@bryantwiltrout5492]

The intro to this song is absolutely amazing. It’s one of my favorites from any band. It’s the reason I became a muse fan to begin with.

[@MaybeGodwillsaveMe]

I saw the guitar and I was like, great let's see how this is gonna sound. Then this guy pulls out natural tremolo without the bar and it is better than any cover on KZbin even with a bar. Nice job, bud.

[@borinightmare]

This is by far the most epic guitar cover by the Muse I have ever seen! It's my favorite track on the album. Thank you for sharing this bro!

[@da_Yizzus]

1:17 Bro , llore de la emoción. La interpretación hace que la guitarra adquiera una especie de sentimiento y personalidad. No se que fue lo que sentí pero ,te puedo decir que fue fuera de este mundo . La música tiene un poder a nivel espiritual muy potente .

Amazing cover!!

[@sidney001]

My one criticism is the constant jumping between camera angles, which I know is the current school of thought in media schools as they think the average viewer gets bored with the same view after 3 seconds, but this is an instructional video and I would have quite happily watched the entire video from the third camera angle (the one from the pickups looking up the fret board) as this gives the viewer the best view of where the fingers are placed.

the skills required to play these bits individually actually aren't that complicated, by far the hardest part as with any song though is putting this all together and being able to switch between them fluently and get the song done without fucking up, which brings the difficult up from fairly easy to really quite difficult
