Megaman X5 - Izzy Glow Shred Cover

tabs (not including solo), mp3, (backing track coming soon)
www.dietzshred....
I've got a TON of musical stuff going on at the moment, but I feel like it's been forever since I uploaded a video. This one was a nice quick one: I arranged it monday, recorded it tuesday, and am uploading it today :) . Hope you enjoy!
Oh! And this is my new Ibanez S-Series. I've already replaced the stock pickups with Dimarzio Steve Morse (bridge) and Evolution (neck) pickups. I love the tone coming out of this thing. What do you think?
Thanks for watching/subscribing/simply being a friend!
Original Song by
Naoto Tanaka
Naoya Kamisaka
Takuya Miyawaki

this guy adds the sauce and the spices to something great to make it LEGENDARY the mattrex one is OUTSTANDING!!!

[@fhatsk8er]

@@johnnyesleo thank you so much! Yeah the original tracks are so awesome it’s easy to sprinkle just a little zest and have fun with it

[@AbsurdToastling]

Mega Man X5 was the first X game I played, so it's really stuck with me and remained one of my favorites, despite the generally mixed reception it's had amongst fans and critics alike. I wouldn't say it had the best soundtrack of the all the X games, but it had its gems and this song is definitely one of them. You more than did it justice. *This* is why I subscribed. You, my friend, are amazing.

[@SaitoGaming]

Instant classic. How did I miss this one? 🎸🔥

[@Sean-Ax]

Absolutely badass. The guitar tone's perfect.

[@chanceman9307]

yeah he got it right with that

[@fhatsk8er]

Yep! Yes, I still plan on doing some recording tutorials. Thank you!

[@ulvinheim2720]

Yo felt like I was listening to Paul gilbert for a minute love it bro

[@inaminute1826]

God tier cover

[@Aaronmac404]

Dude! I've been playing an Ibanez s420 for about 4 months now and I'm loving it! It's definitely cool to hear that you like the S-series as much as I do! Also, the video freaking rocked, as always! :D

[@neozzickmixes3987]

Been enjoying Mr Dietz for many years now. Always revisiting when I need a pick me up \m/

[@shana09923]

5 years ago when i discovered this vid when i was listening to izzy glows theme glad to say when i miss izzy glows theme i always come back here instead on the original + the dance always me chuckle

[@malveous]

the disliker never passed the first stage of Megaman X5 in super easy mode. You rock my friend, keep on, I like all your videos, all of them are amazing!

[@fhatsk8er]

Thanks! The whammy bar isn't really a new thing to me, but I did a lot more with it in this video than I normally do

[@Jesusjoy99]

Awesome video, man. Greetings from Venezuela. Great talent! :-D

[@MrZarupta]

I come back to this video all the time man. It's so good.

[@fhatsk8er]

Sweet! Don't worry about blazing it haha, just have fun with it

[@boopization]

Dude you don't cease to amaze me!

[@CallumKennedyTuberzMcGeeMusic]

Dude. You took my favourite Maverick theme and made it better. THIS is why I love you dude.

[@LoneTaurus82]

Somehow I missed this on my birthday 3 years ago! lol. Wish I had heard it then. Good stuff.

[@HeroicJei]

Still slaps.

[@fhatsk8er]

I'll be sure to take all of those tracks into consideration

[@anthonygonsalves8600]

HELZ TO THE YES!!! My favorite song from X5, you just made it 1000000000x better!

[@indestri]

incredible

[@fhatsk8er]

This is actually an Ibanez s-series, but it's got a blue quilted top like many PRS do. I wish I could afford a nice PRS haha

[@fhatsk8er]

Thanks! Gilbert was a big influence on that passage haha

[@fhatsk8er]

indeed :)

[@edge3220]

Damn that opener was so on point, I thought I was listening to the original track! Then you kick it up! Good work!

[@samuelvincemadrid3125]

yeah chuck you are awesome and you like megaman x soundtracks

[@fhatsk8er]

Thanks! Mattrex would be great

[@HighZ]

That was absolutely incredible! Killer tone, sick playing, and Technical Difficulties was the icing on the cake. Good job!

[@fhatsk8er]

Thank you!

[@fhatsk8er]

no problem :) thanks for watching! \m/

[@fhatsk8er]

Thank you!

[@bayyab235]

I CANNOT get over how kickass this song sounds with you playing it!!

[@Neil_Lee]

2:19 Amazing!

[@fhatsk8er]

Thanks!

[@fhatsk8er]

Thank you very much! That's true I can't really promise requests (thanks for understanding), but I always enjoy hearing ideas. That track is fast, powerful, and would make a great rock cover. Awesome suggestion!

[@fhatsk8er]

Thanks so much!

[@jude_210]

He's alive

[@bobbyfranco6820]

How did you mute the lead guitar part to overdub your own solo? Or did you completely re-record the entire track from scratch? It's amazing my dude!

[@fhatsk8er]

A year late in my reply 😂 but I recorded the track from scratch! I learned the individual parts by ear, then MIDI programmed the drums and bass, recorded the rhythm guitar parts, then finally played/recorded the lead track in sync with the video. I tried to get the mix to sound close to the original. Thank you so much!

[@fhatsk8er]

thanks!

[@iudexe3103]

Amazing solo dude!!!!

[@caal15]

great disco lights, by the way jajaja, keep up the videos, i think i have all your megaman related videos on my favorites :D

[@fhatsk8er]

Thanks! And I'll try to fit in the zero cover somewhere

[@fhatsk8er]

thank you very much :)

[@fhatsk8er]

Thanks! I'm using all guitar plugins for this. The rhythms are using free plugins (search "lepou plugins"), and my lead tone is using "guitar rig" and modeling a mesa-boogie-like tone

[@haraikiri]

AMAZING ARRANGEMENT!!! especially when you put the 'Technical Difficulties' Riff to the solo on 2:35 ! that is epic!!

[@Math1ussss]

I cant find a single word to describe how amazing is this cover, you're the best!

[@fhatsk8er]

Thanks! I think it's a ZR1 bridge, but I don't know for sure. This guitar is actually an older model than my black ibanez

[@jonathansulca7201]

This video deserves way more views!! Awesome cover!!

[@iudexe3103]

wow,i'llbe waiting dude,thanks!

[@LeonKrilangi]

Thank you for blessing our ears with this crazy rendition of a catchy tune.

[@andrewpreston4500]

Pure awesomeness!

[@ZatotheFiend]

you are an amazing guitarist, my respects

[@fhatsk8er]

Thanks! That would be a great rock tune to do--very focused around guitars

[@brpadington]

Great guitar tone and playing.

[@AngelRoseQueen]

You are AMAZING. Oh god, if you get the backtracking up too that would be so much appreciated by all your fans here. Keep doing what you're doing. Because Megaman kicks sooo much ass and you're so bloody talented.

[@chennymen]

READY

[@fhatsk8er]

lol, well I'm glad to know that the songs sounds that good haha

[@fhatsk8er]

no problem, and thank you!

[@fhatsk8er]

That's on the list :) Not sure when, but that's one I want to do

[@HikoSakeArchives]

I respect you Highly because you are a fan of Megaman and also have great shreading talents

[@bzimusicprod6894]

Totally epic , you are full of talent Chuck, i'm totally fan of your products! A Paul Gilbert with Technical difficulties is hidden at 2.35 no :D ?

[@fhatsk8er]

Thank you very much! I just got the backing track up :)

[@VladimirIsmaenkAnzorkovich]

the only theme song in Megaman X 5 I Loved and awesome dude!!

[@fhatsk8er]

This is a s470dxqm, one of the older s-series models. That's awesome, you've got one of the prestige ones then, I bet it sounds really good. And thanks!

[@Wappachuckit]

Hey been a while since I saw new video of yours. :D I love this stage's music and probably my absolute favorite in the X5 game. Fantastic job. ;)

[@MrZark]

Did I see a little bit of Racer X in there? Great work, mr. Chuck!

[@TheMisterTJK]

Awesome as usual !!!

[@Accelerator26]

Smooth!

[@fhatsk8er]

Awesome, sounds good! Thanks :)

[@drewmaster10]

I've followed your music for about half a year or so now, and your skills are certainly coming along quite nicely. I'm not necessarily making this a request, but speaking of Megaman X5 music, one song in particular I think would be very challenging to do any real justice to would be Mattrex's stage theme, the big flaming T-Rex. I want to try it myself, but I have no experience with guitars. If you try it, I suggest that you challenge yourself rather than take it as a request.

[@JonIsFrench]

Awesome work man! I remember hearing this song and thinking man this is so rockin and has that cool jazz feel to it! But i remember thinking those are some fast chord movements! You nailed it! :D Also loved that little Technical Difficulties moment! :D

[@fhatsk8er]

I learn the whole song by ear (drums, guitars, bass, synth), then program/record an arrangement. There's an old trick I used to do-- try downloading "TuxGuitar" and importing a song of your choice in MIDI format. I downloaded MIDI tracks from the "VGMusic" website when I started out. The positions aren't perfect, but it gives you an idea of the notes to play. Hope that helps!

[@Alanezzzz]

Amazing Cover!!!!

[@MajinTB]

Or everyone just loves your music, keep on rockin'! We always crave more!

[@Beltrantilli]

Rock on Chuck!!!!!!! I really enjoy this vid, as always great job, great music, great solos, great faces jajaja keep it that way!!!!!!!!! I'm with drewmaster10 Mattrex's stage theme is one of my favourites and I still got a looong way to do my solo, it will be very challenging. Keep on rocking!!!!!!!

[@larrygarrido9000]

Stop. Liked. Comment. Continued. Eargasm. Motherof F***. i love this man, this is great! im glad you posted up a new video!

[@brainmccarty5416]

You are incredible!

[@speedy2davey]

I fuckin' LOVE Izzy Glow's theme! Thank you for doing this, lifted my spirits after not having an Izzy Glow remix in Maverick Rising. Rock on buddy, rock on >.

[@alexandroaguayosoriano6193]

Rock it dude!

[@fhatsk8er]

yay, that means that 0 people became mavericks, or 0 people died on izzy glow's stage, or sigma didn't even dislike it :)

[@ZetArtj]

holy shiet dude you just hit my taste 100%

[@travisbrantner8071]

This...was freakin...AWESOME!

[@deminieymayoku1428]

Wooooooow!I like it more in this Verison,blessed with great talent onestly❤❤❤❤😭😭

[@vempramarte]

Thanks for the information. I wish afford a PRS too but first i'm saving money for a Gibson Flying V.

[@fhatsk8er]

Thanks! Yes, that's inspired by paul gilbert :)

[@jamelmoore4356]

Dude this is phenomenal! Another stellar guitar cover by the best, in my opinion! And by far!!! I know you don't like to take requests, but as a suggestion I'd love to hear your take on the Counter Hunter Stage 1 from X2! The ones that are available are great but I believe you'll do it the most justice! Thanks!:-)

[@SoDoM17]

Totally eargasm

[@WhyGuy2387]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Jayplay17]

dude that is freaking badasssssss

[@Upchucka]

that..... was.... righteous!

[@caal15]

Awesome!, everything fits together ral nicely, you're kinda new to the tremolo bar though aren't you?, anyway doesn't matter 5 out 5 :D

[@arnornight]

Best Song of X5

[@Megaman8707]

Agreed

[@victorgmz9]

hombre este cover es muy genial, me encantó. Man this cover is very cool, i liked'it

[@MusicKohl]

awesome man !!!! I Love this soundtrack !

[@Anasthera]

When I actually have more computer access again and finish a mix I'm doing as a collab, I'd love the chance to help compose that Launch Octopus mix. Might be a while though, so don't let it stop you from doing your own :D.

[@fhatsk8er]

I use a PreSonus fp10 and record into sonar x1

[@sapphirevaltiel]

As of now, maybe Sigma probably stopped liking it :P - Anyway, great rendition man, this is one of my favorite tunes from X5 and you did it justice :)

[@OFFP88]

this is the shit that gets me up in the morning
