Guitar Cover Video Tutorial

[@Fr0stiX101]

Hey, Just wanted to thank you for all those great covers and tutorials like this to help us do a cover video. Cheers mate. :)

[@LambChopper678]

***** Very welcome mate, appreciated

[@PeterJohnson76]

I love your playing, setup, sounds, and guitars.. Cool stuff

[@prateekgautam5514]

Covering songs is a bit difficult task and using these software are even harder,thank you for the videos. I'm still at the start level and these things will help me a lot

[@deeforty]

Exactly what I've been looking for... I've been watching a lot of your videos lately, very impressed... I've subscribed, cheers man.

[@Thebadseed77]

Thanks for taking the time to show us all how you do your Vids . Most appreciated ! Keep the tutes coming mate .

[@losfer_astaria]

Great thanks to you for this usefull video! Nice to see four guitar lines. Your videos always been very good, it's very important to show other players not only skills to play guitar, but skills to make high quality video.

[@ericmarley6565]

Thanks a million Anthony. I'm done with 213 recording from Slayer. Tomorrow I will do the video. Right on time with this tutorial.

[@staceyh8390]

Cool video. I play a little bass and I'm wanting to make some covers for YT. I had no idea where to start but this was really helpful.

[@Rooster7six]

Thank you! Love your vids!

[@dr.tolgademir]

I am super excited towatch your videos in KZbin. Your guitar playing is amazing. Apart from that you're a fully equipped humen being who makes this world a better place. Well, @Lambchopper678 I have problem with the sync issue. I have windows platform therefore instead of garageband I use Presonus Studio One as a DAW. I'm not sure that whether it has a audio and video sync function like garageband or not. Therefore I record my audio channels and export them as mp3 files. Then sync (and also edit) them with their related video files using Adobe Premiere Elements (not pro). Sometimes this can be very time consuming and exhausting process. Because Adobe Premiere Elements don't allow to move the files freely on the timeline. Minimum moving distance is limited by the the minimum grids during maximum zoom screen (ufff). Sometimes those grid movements limits you from an exact sync procedure. Do you have any advice for me like upgrading to Premier Pro or else. Anthony, lastly I'll be very appreciate if you take the time and check some of my videos in my Chanel considering synchronization. Thank you very much

[@LambChopper678]

Totally understand your frustration with the sync. Even on full zoom in premiere it can’t line up the sync very accurately. I think you’ve got to find the right software that works for you. I’ve been using Logic Pro x or GarageBand before that for so long I don’t know what else there is. Maybe it’s time to step up to Cubase or protools, even better get a Mac. Most people talk about their favorite guitar or amp they can’t do without. Mine is the Mac with Logic, Amplitube and Bias

[@LeeronCarbuncle]

I love Dance of Death, the last four Maiden albums really hold up to the classics.

[@Descalabrox]

Saw the parrots and hit like... Watched till the end and vid still kicks ass :D

[@LambChopper678]

lol thanks mate

[@itzzFreedom]

Thanks lambchopper!

[@KeleleHead]

[@scorpiodragon999]

Lmao!! That was some funny stuff Anthony!! Thanks for uploading this brother it really helped me understand how to play through an interface.again thanks for passin down some knowledge to all of us.take it easy bud.aloha from Maui mike

[@LambChopper678]

Thanks Mike, I was in Honululu a few years ago and checked out all the guitar shops before any other sight seeing. Lol

[@BradRoberts1999]

Haha you and those parrots are hilarious

[@ESPSJ]

Very helpful, thanks!

[@Dimekaw]

thanks man! this is very helpful.

[@DaniloBenovic]

Good job mate! Your covers are amazing!! I have recently started this channel for making covers... I have one little question :) Do you record a video of your actual playing or do you record it first, and then record your self playing it afterwards? Thanks in advance! :)

[@MrRodoglez11]

I'm glad you liked it, there'll be more to come, I'm making a collab with a friend for Caught somewhere in time, and hopefully I'm doing Ancient Mariner haha :)

[@thalamusDecimation]

0:20 ...Don't interrupt me. I cracked.

[@RumpelStiltskindarkone]

hey man thanks for the great info and effort! how do you usually do the panning? do you just record on two tracks at the same time and then just switch each of them left and right or do you record each track separately?

[@richardtoth7240]

make a video tutorial aboute how to demonitize cover songs...

[@pepperiff9592]

Comunque bravissimo

[@Benp9248]

Hey dude love ya work. Mate are you still using premier cs6 too make your guitar cover videos. Im about to try my hand at it. Any advice software wise video editor wiise. Cheers man.

[@LambChopper678]

No I went to Final Cut Pro a few years ago. It’s incredible

[@Benp9248]

Thanks mate. Yeh it looks great i think i will go with that seen as i use a macbook. Have you considered doing a review on otto audio 11 11 11 guitar and bass plugin. Its really brutal. I think you would like it.

[@SultanBenjamin]

Awesome video. I have a question. Can I do the same with iRig 2 ?

[@malagutiamp7590]

cool

[@BoodaZak]

thaaaaaaaanx!!

[@jupo1388]

Are you sending the audio from the amp sim on the Mac out to speakers or monitors, what’s the setup on that. I want to have a similar setup but not have to wear headphones whenever I want to play. Thanks!

[@LambChopper678]

I prefer headphones but my interface outputs to monitors as well. It’s a matter of turning them on. I use the monitors afterwards for checking and mixing

[@benchampion1709]

such a helpful​ video! do you make the tones yourself?

[@LambChopper678]

Thanks mate, yes I make up all my tones

[@benchampion1709]

that's great, you get all your tones spot on man! was really considering getting some equipment (along the lines of yours) and recording some covers. your channel is killer, you love the bands i love so your covers are a real pleasure to watch!

[@icedragonlm]

The birds killed me. 😂😂

[@giosundance5643]

Y Tho how did you typed if they killed you?

[@Iheartdgd]

I’m thinking of grabbing myself one of these Jackson strats, how do you like it? Is it comparable to a fender Strat?

[@LambChopper678]

Very different, it sits the same but the feel is completely different. Great guitar, much prefer it over a strat any day.

[@Iheartdgd]

LambChopper678 thanks for the quick reply, I shortly realized how old this video was. My local shop has one so I’m gonna go over though and demo it for a while and see what I can get out of it. I’ve been wanting a Strat lately for the versatility, but I’m not nearly as much of a fender guy as I am for Jackson.

[@Tcrumpen]

This is more out of curiosity than anything as i'm not planning on doing this kind of thing for possibly years (if ever) but i only use a Windows PC which of course doens't have Garage Band. What software would you recommend replaces Garage Band?

[@bradjm9134]

Tcrumpen You can plug direct into audacity and use that to record, it's much less professional but still works

[@hadleymanmusic]

Ollie your a big bird show me your wings!

[@shaice17]

Please cover Revelations by Iron Maiden :)

[@oh58dplt]

I was trying to find AmpliTube in the App Store but don't see it available for Mac, just on iOS. Am I looking in the wrong place?

[@LambChopper678]

It's not an app that you get from the store. Go to ikmultimedia.com, they are the makers of amplitube. You buy it from them direct or eBay

[@reckatrem]

Are you happy with your monitors dude? I wanna buy some monitors but i cant decide what to buy. People says Those M-Audio's dont have a powerfull bass sound. I mean they say u cant hear bass well is that true

[@LambChopper678]

I have nothing to compare with. I use them to create my tones on amplitube and they seem to give a pretty clean signal. They could be lower on bass but for the money I think they're great.

[@reckatrem]

What are their exact models, and if u using t hem for those tones they're really great

[@LambChopper678]

They're M-audio BX5's, they're the best ones on the bottom of the scale for budget monitors. They do me fine, I haven't had too many complaints about the guitar tones I've created from amplitube.

[@reckatrem]

LambChopper678 . Thank you dude!

[@AquaVert34]

How much much money did this cost you, im looking into buying things like this for recording???

[@willparker547]

this is cool as shit

[@HabsFan4916]

If you don't have a Mac and Garageband, could you use Reaper to record your parts?

[@LambChopper678]

I have no idea I'm sorry mate, anybody else?

[@Descalabrox]

Yes...you can use any DAW on any OS

[@HabsFan4916]

Thanks bud ;)

[@hadleymanmusic]

Im tryin on a phone ive a micro br but only a phone service internet connection.

[@jsj01999]

how do you get rid of latency so that you can play your guitar with the effects in the software?

[@LambChopper678]

There's a few things that help with latency. The biggest one is your interface, firewire or thunderbolt are super quick at high res. USB is slow, low quality and noisy in most cases. Your project settings in preferences to set the quality at a speed your computer can handle.

[@ea-tt]

Nice wallpaper. Why dont you play something of DT? Pull me Under, Erotomania, Constant Motion or This Dying Soul (my favorite). EBMM? Amplitube? Im sure you that you are able... BTW: Why don't you use backing tracks? There are many at guitarbackingtrack.com

[@LambChopper678]

I'll go check out the backing track page. I'm a huge DT fan though, such great musicians and they gel really well together. You like the heavier ones, there's no way I could ever play This Dying Soul. I really like Scenes of a Memory and their big epic songs like Ministry of Lost Souls, Octavarium, The Best of Times and Count of Tuscany etc. I'd love to be able to play them but I didn't want to wreck it for me to listen too. Whenever I learn a song, I tend to destroy it at the same time. I don't even have Metallica, Pantera or Megadeth on my ipod anymore.

[@ea-tt]

And Fatal Tragedy or the Overture? I dont give up till you make a DT video :) (Or Liquid, like Paradigm shift or Biaxident) PD: in the page not all the songs are "pro" but for dream, megadeth, metallica, a7x, etc. theres a lot of good ones...

[@LambChopper678]

Overture - I'll have a go man. I love that

[@ea-tt]

LambChopper678 . Great song! Saludos desde Chile!

[@tonyhawklp]

I want this parrot for covering songs! coz its awesome! so...what breed is this parrot? :)

[@LambChopper678]

Ollie is an eclectus and Sid is an alexandrine. I've had Ollie for 10 years and he's quite a character, Sid is 9 and has a really placid nature. I'll have to bring them in to help on more videos.

[@tonyhawklp]

LambChopper678 . ty!

[@leotrinds]

And what about the Marshalls that are always behind you in the videos?

[@LambChopper678]

They're absolutely useless, I occasionally practice through them but sound terrible. They've been in my videos from the start and I figure they look cool so they can stay.

[@leotrinds]

LambChopper678 . And what about using only the speakers to play live or something like that at least?

[@LambChopper678]

I have some great amps and speakers, but for youtube covers I like amplitube. Unless I'm going to play live with people, all I use is my computer. Live recording is a pain and takes too much time to set up.

[@leotrinds]

What amps do you own?

[@LambChopper678]

Apart from those I have a Dime D100 and a Randall RM20 with 4 modules, Duel Rectifier, Mark V, Kerry King Beast and Kirk Hammett KH2 going into 2 -1x12 cabs with V30's It sounds very cool, it's a shame Randall don't make the MTS modules and amps anymore.

[@TomHolloway123]

hey man what settings did you use for your iron maiden tone on amplitube?

[@LambChopper678]

+Tom Holloway email me [e-mail] and I'll send it to you

[@Mrmetal73]

LOL we used to have two Alexandrines Bruce & Betty

[@horizon3279]

[@pepperiff9592]

[@Iheartdgd]

LOL

[@prateekgautam5514]

Covering songs is a bit difficult task and using these software are even harder,thank you for the videos. I'm still at the start level and these things will help me a lot
