Music To Walk Home By | Tame Impala Guitar Cover

Here's my cover of (probably) my favorite song off of Lonerism, Music to Walk Home By. I did the three main guitar parts: Kevin's main phased guitar, the synth guitar, and the ending fuzz guitar. Hope you guys dig it :)
Gear Used:

lucky bastard has all the proper tame gear… sounds great man

[@neerajchandaver113]

Your channel is a delightful rediscovery of Tame Impala! The passion and dedication you pour into each composition dissection is evident, both in terms of your time and resources. Thanks for using your craft to help us appreciate them even more. Cheers to your channel's success, bro!

[@TameTones]

that means a ton! thanks for the kind words

[@nishito1680]

These are the best covers in KZbin lol, amazing d'way that you achieve those tones man.

[@jackcollingwood5227]

We some how have the same pfp , crazy

[@morlockyn]

I've been obsessed with Kevin's tones for so long... Your channel is bliss

[@Summers22]

Dude. I can NOT belieeeve the chord tone you found. I’d call you a master of sound for getting that tone down, well done. Did it take long to figure out? I’m sure having the same gear helped!

[@TameTones]

That means a ton thanks a lot dude! It definitely took a hell of a long time to dial it all in and get a good enough pedal order to get it to sound right. Even with the gear his sound is really specific on Lonerism and even changes from song to song.

[@luk_gea]

I can listen this song a thousand times and never get bored. Great job, sounds pretty identical to the original.

[@abdulrahimmajid9612]

I totally feel the same way!

[@imawizardbaby]

this song and melody's "Some time alone, alone" are really similar... :O love it!!

[@lighthttpd]

You made me listen to the full Lonerism album. Again😅

[@landslide38]

Sounds amazing mate!

[@mabach2014]

Nice tone

[@Freudimpala]

I love it

[@VaporMario64]

Spot on dude! Are you using the lead channel on the Gazelle for the main phased guitar?

[@TameTones]

Im actually using the clean channel on this one. Most of the crunch comes from the blues driver and dyna comp going into the gazelle!

[@tateconnelley]

Awesome cover! Quick question: are you using the Fuzz Face or the Blues Driver for the ending fuzz guitar?

[@TameTones]

Thanks man, I used the BD-2!

[@gerardocortez7061]

Cool

[@Happyhomeboy8]

Love it! I noticed you used different chords at the end solo. Which one do you thinks fits the best / easiest to learn?

[@AustinMarshmallows]

Where did you find a rick with toasters and that flat plate bridge?

[@TameTones]

That Rick started life out as a normal Jetglo 330. I added the flat tailpiece. Its called the accent vibrato tailpiece from Winfield, Rickenbacker sadly doesnt make them anymore aside from the john lennon models. And the pickups were also added later, they’re Scatterwounds which are exact to vintage toasters. Took a while to get the upgrades but it was so worth it. Hope that helps man.

More of tame impala please

[@TameTones]

More coming soon🫡 Currently working on Tracks 1 and 3 of Lonerism 🤙🏼

[@TheBTSMACLVOR]

My guy what pedals/effects are you using?

[@josh05683]

Id recommend throwing some delay on the synth guitar

[@amq1996]

hey men great cover, how did you get the synth tone on the strat? which effects are you using?

[@TameTones]

Thanks! I made a video tutorial on the synth guitar. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4Had52Ep8x6pJI

[@ponch1231]

Nice cover man, you ahcieved that cool tone, do you have a tab? and did you use standard tuning or D?

[@josh05683]

You can find tabs faster by looking them up on Google. You can also look at the dude playing it in the video.

[@ponch1231]

Sure bro but not all the tabs are correct , and he’s playin in D , so there are some chords that I don’t really know

[@josh05683]

@@ponch1231 Im aware of what he’s playing, you can find the exact tabs in E standard and just take those and move up a whole step once you tune into D standard Not that hard…

[@ponch1231]

@@josh05683 bro I already told you the tabs I’ve read are not as accurate , and yes I can look to the video but I don’t know all the chords, that’s why I’m asking, If I wanted to I had already used the tabs that are aviable

[@ponben9732]

Super cool! How did you get that synth sound on the strat?

[@TameTones]

Hey sorry for the late reply but for the synth guitar I used an old Boss recorder unit that has effects (Boss BR600). Its the same one Kevin uses on the recordings!

[@TameTones]

Basically it’s a octaver with a ton of delay and reverb

[@dylanjanpierre2001]

How you get the pickguard blue like kevin parker guitar

[@TameTones]

White tape then painted that blue just like Kevin’s.

[@meredithvillavicenciomende2644]

I see that at the beginning you make a change after C, what chord are you doing there?

[@tylermerritt6370]

Where can you find the toaster pickups?

[@5weating_8ullets]

HOW DID YOU GET TOASTER PICKUPS!!!????? 😮😮😮😮😮

[@joaoalexandre9894]

your guitar looks like the same of kevin wtf

[@GrannyTrees]
