POLARIS - "Above My Head" | Guitar Cover

[@JacobMartin]

My initial plan was to cover something off the new Architects record over the weekend, but honestly as much as I love the new album in a musical sense, there just weren’t enough standout riffs to justify a cover IMO. So anyway here’s some more Polaris haha. Tuning is drop B. Enjoy! 🤘

[@TriggerFingerRC]

Amazing as always! And since you want riffs, you should cover veil of maya's new song. I cant stop listening to it lol

[@MikeMrqs]

I was kinda thinking the same but i still tried some songs of the new Architects album, and to be honest Goliath is pretty fun ! I'd say the main riff of Libertine is cool as well ! But i feel you man ! Incredible work anyways, this song is fire, and you're insanely good ! Wish i was as talented as you ahah

[@DrewBdo]

FINALLY! I am sooooooo happy you actually covered this! Great and tight playing as always

[@JacobMartin]

@@TriggerFingerRC I’ve had it on repeat as well man hahaha. I might cover it, we’ll see!

[@JacobMartin]

@@MikeMrqs Fully agree man, those are the two tracks I was considering learning. The libertine riff is sick, especially after that cool synthy sorta intro. But yeah I dunno, just didn’t feel motivated to learn it haha And thank you 🖤

[@scoobaseth]

Man Ryan Siew is such an amazing guitarist. I wouldn’t go as far as to say he’s underrated because he’s definitely clearly well known in the modern metal community, but he has such an incredible ability to create easily digestible lead lines that fit so well melodically into Polaris’ music but still maintain such a high standard of complexity and originality. I’m so stoked that there’s this sort of world class talent coming out of Australia

[@Jake-dy3vv]

Exactly!

[@ChromeToDaDome]

this song has the one of the best riffs of 2020

[@jonnyb2020]

Which one? This song riffs hard all the way through! The one after the post chorus (verse 2 I guess?) is my winner!

[@ChromeToDaDome]

@@jonnyb2020 that's the one 😎

[@JacobMartin]

That post chorus riff gets me every time tbh!

[@galacticjuicedaddy1305]

Post-chorus riff for me. That gave me chills and dragged me in when i first heard this song.

[@tcirello426]

the leads in this song are so fun

[@lukedownman2803]

You’ve just got the cleanest and most easy flowing technique, I’m so insanely inspired - especially since I just would love to learn this song. You in a band my dude? I’d love to hear your original works!!!

[@JacobMartin]

Thanks heaps man! Super stoked I was able to inspire you in some way. I’m not in a band as such, but I’m working on an original song that I’m hoping to get released in the coming months!

[@andrewmadar8725]

The candle, a nice touch

[@JacobMartin]

Aha thank you man!

[@blnk497]

I never post comments on youtube, but your video quality, skill and songs are awesome. You deserve much more attention. Please keep going and give us more :)

[@JacobMartin]

Ah dude thanks so much! I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon :)

[@thodsaponsriram4386]

I've always thought, ever since I've been practicing guitar for over a year, that I must be good like this. The first time I followed I say this, and if the day I play the guitar well, I'll have my brother come and see if I can do it. 💞

[@MrEGuy-mi4qk]

Another kick ass job! You are absolutely phenomenal

[@JacobMartin]

Thanks dude ❤️

[@HLBmusix]

Man, I'm really impressed by the fact, that you are able to pump out all these amazing covers. They're always right on the pocket and on point tonewise. Hell yeah man, i'm really enjoying your videos!

[@JacobMartin]

Thanks man, I always appreciate your support!

[@KeyanHoushmandLive]

Someone was looking at those Sheet Happens tabs ;) nice work dude

Perfect. I'm sure the boys from Polaris agree. Nailed it mate

[@JacobMartin]

Great minds 😏

[@JacobMartin]

Thanks dude! The Polaris bangers will never stop haha

[@PimScotney]

This might be my favorite Polaris song and of course you aced it. Also way to rub that sun burn into our northern hemisphere faces

[@JacobMartin]

Thanks man! Hahahah yeah she’s a bit warm down here at the moment 🥵

[@amarribrown2799]

The first song i fell in love with on this album❤️

[@JacobMartin]

It’s so good 😍

[@Koke_Cola]

Please make a video explaining how you get that guitar sound :(. I also have the ax8 and I can't get that sound.

[@JacobMartin]

It’s mostly in the cab IR man! I use third party cab impulses (GGD zilla cabs) and it makes the world of difference. I might make a video on it someday 😅

[@AdamsGolan]

Nice tone.. Great cover.. ^^

[@JacobMartin]

Thanks man! 🙏

[@faboo210]

I love your covers! With some songs I even listen to your cover instead of the original because its just fun to watch :)

[@JacobMartin]

That means a lot man! Thank you :)

[@adamr6811]

I asked for this song about 6 months ago man lol, glad you got to it. It’s hard to pick a favourite song off the newest album because it’s stacked, but this song is definitely a stand out for me. And fuckin hell did you do it justice, great work mate, keep em comin 🤘🤘

[@JacobMartin]

Hahahaha man I’ve been meaning to do it for ages hey! Yeah the album still gets regular spins from me, hard to pick a favourite song for sure! Thanks for watching dude 🤘🤘

[@JobsByJames]

it’s all about that post hook riff at 1:12

[@asadsheikh7179]

Tone isn’t the only thing that’s thicc here lmao good job man Check out Shadows from Sorrow to Serenity. I think you’ll love it.

[@JacobMartin]

Ahahah thank you dude

[@GarethFerguson]

Well played man

[@JacobMartin]

Thanks dude!

[@oskargotowski]

How about covering something new from Olly Steele? That would be a challenge 😄

[@JacobMartin]

A challenge indeed haha. I’ve been smashing his latest song! 😍

[@ScottClarkinCO]

GREAT cover. Song of the year 2020 for me. That post chorus riff gives me goosebumps EVERY time. Check out the new Erra album if you haven't yet. Early contender for album of the year (in a year Architects dropped a new album even!!!) for me.

[@truonggiang1718]

Wow you playing so damn good bro, can you tell me where can I have the backing track of this song tho?

[@DuskPoser]

This is so tight man. How did you get that beast tone bro?

[@joshystanton]

Fuccccck, didn’t think this one was ever going to come out after those tasty teasers in the 2020 riff-through haha *Enter beast mode* Ever thought about covering some of their older stuff from The guilt & The grief?

[@JacobMartin]

You're a mind reader hahaha I've actually been meaning to do some stuff off TG&TG. Might put up a poll soon to see what song I should do! Thanks for watching as always dude \m/
