I know I've been doing a lot more reaction/personality based content and I wanted to use that to evolve my OG cover series. Comment your thoughts below and smash like if you dig it! Tabs on my Patreon: www.patreon.com/NikNocturnal

This video is actively helping me learn this song. Thank you so much.❤

This was great - I like the Learn Along format, for sure, and you adding a bit of your own imprint was awesome. MOAR

Ola Englund make one of these series, hits like godzilla in a pit, love it Keep it up Nik

[@sim1youmightknow-sport]

Amazing new series, could you do the fight within by Memphis may fire, that song is a strange one to figure out. It is in drop C# I believe.

[@MorganFuse]

Wow, that’s super cool. I always forget that Nik is actually a musician 😂

Isn’t he a professional tiktok reactor?

Me learning from tabs only and he's just casually finding it without barely hearing it lol.

[@Dr.Rosenbaum]

Kinda a dick thing to say. Did we forget that he would cover new songs hours after they dropped?

[@Glttrblvd]

This guy was famous for being the fastest cover guitarist on youtube. Whenever a band dropped a new song, the guitar cover will be on this channel immediately after. He even used to cover the whole album of Slipknot within less than a day. Seeing him back to "Guitar Cover Nik" makes me feel happy.

Back when they were awesome, young and hungry. Now, they make mainstream music for casuals.

[@JakeDenning]

The guitar tone on this album is EVERYTHING. GOAT tier. I wish more and more bands ran with that.

[@cazza710]

Its a basic 5150 mid scoop with a screamer over it its not exactly unique, every metalcore band in the 2010s used the exact same setup but with more mids because it wasnt good

[@R-SXX]

@@cazza710 yeha but it sounds cool, cheap tech can sound fitting in your style, even compliment it.

[@MadDjentah]

@@cazza710 there was no 5150. Lee told they've used Boss DA2 as a screamer pedal for Marshall JCM800. Adaptive Distortion pedal worked extremely well with lower tunings. They've also used quad guitars for that record. Guitar strings were custom made Ernie Ball 80's, like modern day 8string set with red label (there wasn't one back then) used on Gibson. This recipe results chunky chuggy djenty tone.

[@jKriest]

wish they still **consistently** played this song live, easily one of their best songs. dope cover 🤘

[@ghosface353]

Don't they still occasionally play it? I know they played it last year in Malta with Courtney from Spiritbox.

[@tonylarsson2619]

They play it

[@thedarkcosmos4633]

@@ghosface353 when they do throwback shows like that festival in malta, yeah, they play it… but I’m just talking full tours… heaviest they’ve been going recently is stuff off of Sempiternal. I would think it’s to protect Oli’s voice… however Diamonds Aren’t Forever did make a few appearances with Knocked Loose’s Brian Garris last year 👀

[@thedarkcosmos4633]

@@tonylarsson2619 not consistently on tour setlists, they’ve been separating more and more from their older stuff. Theyve basically abandoned all of CYB (not a bad thing though, I enjoy all of their discography).

[@kameronpan2939]

@@thedarkcosmos4633 yeah, this tracks. I went to their set at Good Things Fest 2022 in December and the only song they did that was older than TTS was Shadow Moses, everything else was TTS and amo with a couple songs from PH:SH. It was fun, but I was really hanging out for them to do Chelsea Smile, as that's my #1 fave of theirs

[@cristianbam]

Dude, if it's not *too* much work, showing a glimpse into the learning process was definitely a neat component of this format. Definitely go for it!!

[@332wildcat]

NIK, BRO...that little solo followed by the chugs had me head banging harder to this song than I have in a number of years! Great addition to an amazing song. Keep up the great work mang!

[@sawyerwelden7929]

same, it worked way too well

[@spicybbqchicken]

A solo could definitely have fit as part of the real song

[@marcfalzon2065]

Great cover, love the new format!

[@LiterallyJustA357]

I've wanted to try to learn this for a while now, lets hope this helps haha Also, yes, this should be the new format for your covers

[@lealandkeith7388]

I really love how you showed the process you went through while learning the song as well as keeping the tabs in at the end

[@akr.1]

I remember you doing these on your live streams where you de-construct and learn new songs as soon as they launched and making the covers! It's so freaking impressive that you are able to do this on technical songs that get tricky at some parts + you actually showing us how you do it is just such a blessing for newbie/beginner/intermediate/non-professional guitarists/musicians like myself. I dont know anybody else that does these. Seriously man, I've learned the most from your tutorial videos because coincidently or not but they're exactly what I needed when I got stuck at some points (eg. Writing riffs in drop tuning, writing metal chorus/verse, writing metal intros, learning songs etc.) Your videos are so to the point and the most important thing that I felt was you genuinly wanted to impart these knowledge, tips and tricks; not everyone does this, a lot of these online tutorial guys hold so much back when teaching almost like they don't want us to learn these tricks xD. You're a true teacher man! I play some stuff heare and there and a lot has been thanks to you my guy! You're awesome! Looking forward to more of your content! \m/

[@TheAceOfOnes]

Forgot how much of a banger this song is, thanks for the throwback and the sick cover!

[@PunkMarioBros]

8:08 that jumpscare gave me the fright of my life

[@comewither]

I’ve always wondered how you learn these songs so quickly, so seeing the process was exciting! I hope to see more of these, especially when it comes to more complicated songs and how you go about learning/tabbing it :)

[@itzDrexzyyy]

Elevated the song in 2 seconds just by adding that lil improv solo 😂 love it

[@thronosstudios]

Mad respects to your musical skills. You're usually a goofball but I didn't know you had such a fast ear and sick soloing skills. Noice

[@yash9410503314]

You're new to the channel

[@joshpeterson2203]

It’s nice to see you figuring it out like that. I like the addition of that personally

[@snuggienutz801]

My boy had an experience during the "why would he believe in me" section.

[@OxTheHerdzz]

I love how he makes learning a new song seem as easy as taking your pen apart when you were bored in class. Really cool format, would love to see more!

[@coreyw5981]

I find it crazy how cover artists can hear over everything like vocals. Forr bands like dance gavin dance, who release instrumental versions of their songs, i can hear so much of what the guitars are doing that i didn't notice when vocals were laid over

[@Langtw]

Really, really cool to watch someone learning a song by ear. I've always just relied on tabs other people have written, but I've wanted to learn how to figure music out myself. Having a video of someone just going through and doing exactly that is actually really helpful.

[@HighZ]

Really enjoyed the breakdown of the song you did. Yes pun absolutely intended

[@bdelsouza]

this format is PERFECT, my dude. "how to play" videos are life-savers for guitar players from all levels

[@phillipmorales8213]

This bastard did it in one take... I'm way too impressed

[@lan260]

Thanks I can finally play a realistic cover of Chelsea Smile on my very much existing air guitar

Reminds me of those videos Dean Lamb does occasionally. Watching very talented people making errors is so validating and reassuring

[@anxious.skeletons]

the solo blew me away!! amazing work and still one of my favorite BMTH songs. also really enjoying the new format 👌🏼

[@careever1988]

This man is truly possesed when he plays the guitar possessed by the badassness of Metal. Watch his eyes in the back of his head while he plays all the time. Keep up the awesome work man

[@linda-brookethompson5345]

Nik! I love the darkness around ur eyes. Like the dark circles, for lack of a better description. But I think it's really cool and attractive :-)

[@antoinecarrier5278]

i love your new way of doing cover with the ''how you arrived there''

[@MobiusGuitars]

Dude, this was fantastic. I legit thought you only did reaction vids & didn't even realize you played guitar. I build guitars but haven't played in months. I'm legit gonna learn this & write my own take on the solo now. Very inspiring, keep it up!

[@Deejy1]

Glad to see covers are back! Also love the idea of actually incorporating your personality into it

[@thelegallyblindg]

Hey Nik! Just wanted to let you know that I am the guitarist I am today because of you and these videos you’ve been posting forever. I owe a lot of my skill to you! Just wanted to take the time to thank you for your hard work and great content! Also, love that you’re taking the time to show people a little bit of the work that goes into learning a song!
