REFUSED (SAMURAI) - "Archangel" Guitar Cover

Since I'm from Poland, I like rock music and the Phantom Liberty DLC for CP77 had just been released, to commemorate this I've painted the repaired Epiphone SG with a BIG red Cyberpunk 2077 SAMURAI logo and decided to play some preem tune from the band REFUSED. Johnny would be proud.
P.S Rodacy ! Zmiłujcie się z tymi wymaganiami po patch'u 2.0 bo w takim tempie nie wyrobie na upgrade kompa (ʘ‿ʘ)

I love the Guitar! you did such a fantastic job

[@RentonGrey]

Happy to hear it ! I repair guitars as a hobby from time to time. I've set myself three conditions when I decided to repair this guitar: 1). Do as much work done as I can in my room. 2). Do it using only basic, commonly available tools as much as possible. 3). Not to spend more on things needed for repair than I spent on the guitar itself - Which was a ridiculously small amount, like 25% market price of the new guitar. And welp, I've meet somewhere around 80% of these conditions :D

dude do you have a tiktok, I think content like that would blow up their.@@RentonGrey

[@RentonGrey]

Nope I don't have acc there, not really my turf ;) But thx for good word.

[@Ilovespriteandbass]

No way this is the epiphone from BEFORE, the repaired version looks beautiful

[@acmaiden5236]

Came here for the cover, stayed for the guitar build. Preem work man! 🤘

[@RentonGrey]

Thanks choom ! I really didn't expect so many people would like this guitar. Now I wonder what to do next 🤔

[@acmaiden5236]

@@RentonGrey Maybe I'm biased but I think you can't go wrong with another Samurai song 😉

[@FilthyCoytote]

highly underrated vidoe and channel amazing work mate !

[@RentonGrey]

Thanks for kind words ! "It's ain't much, but it's honest work" 😁

[@Wagoo]

Preem work, choom!

[@RentonGrey]

Thank you !

Dobre, więcej takich klimatów 😊

Zależy kiedy przejdę Widmo Wolności. A Baldur jeszcze czeka niedokończony🤪

[@normified]

build is fucking sweet bro I hope one day I have the technical skill to make something as awesome as that

[@RentonGrey]

Thank You a lot ! I will always support anyone who wants to create stuff. My advice is, start with some small projects. Buy some cheapest possible guitar, one that you won't be afraid to break and tinker with it. I can fullheartly recommend a @stewmac YT channel, I've learned a lot from there. I live in an apartment, and when I start to repair guitars, my room allways look like a workstation 😅

[@normified]

I'll definitely check them out! @@RentonGrey

[@user-rn8qu6jx3z]

гитара очень красивая !

[@RentonGrey]

Сначала хотел заклеить переднюю часть осколками разбитого зеркала, но это оказалось слишком сложно. Извините, если это звучит странно, я использовал Google Translate :D

[@clouder1337]

Nice cover bro! And damn, such a great axe you have!

[@RentonGrey]

Thanks :) At first i wanted to fill the top with broken mirror shards, and then paint the Samurai logo but it was too difficult for me to do.

[@noradrumojisan9602]

かっこいいな！ 修復過程が見られるのも面白い👍

[@RentonGrey]

それもすべてあなたの励ましのおかげです 😁 時々、自分はギターを弾くよりも修理する方が得意だと思うことがあります🎸

[@michalmatuszak1688]

Nagrywaj dalej super robota :)

[@RentonGrey]

OuKej !

[@dogeking007]

Nice cover! Love the guitar, keep it up!

[@RentonGrey]

THX ! I cant't promise vids will be regular, but I'll do my best 😅

[@MrLittleObama]

Well done, mate! Where did you get backing track?

[@RentonGrey]

I've made it using AI algorytm that split the song into 4 separate tracks. Vocal/Drums/Bass and Guitar. Guitar is always in stereo, so then I split it too into PL/PR to hear the guitars only and learn how to play since I always learn songs by ear. Then I throw all the files into a DAW and mix without guitars. There is some mixing involved since the tracks are not perfect. Some frequencies are cut, some are left from other tracks. Hope this helps, cheers !

[@MrLittleObama]

@@RentonGrey Thanks! I will try)

[@LiamCarter-tx8dy]

Damnit now I have to buy another SG

[@RentonGrey]

Don't do it ! It's a damn big rabbit hole !! :D :D Cheers !

[@GUITAR_NUT]

How did you get that tone? Was it the built in effects of tour amp? Or maybe the BD-2 or DS-1, Were they stacked?

[@RentonGrey]

You almost guessed it :D I've used the built-in virtual BD-2 from BOSS Katana MKII, using the amp's crunch channel. If I remember correctly I've slightly boosted 2 and 4 kHz in the global EQ GE-10 too.

[@GUITAR_NUT]

Cheers!

[@edwardpetterson3321]

Amazing!!!

[@RentonGrey]

Thx ! It means a lot to me that you liked the vid :)

[@majsterf120rc6]

Piękna gitara

[@RentonGrey]

Dzięki ! Sądzę że z wiekiem i każdą nową rysą będzie wyglądać jeszcze lepiej 😁

[@Szymon-er3yz]

Nice, ogólnie pewnie niezbyt dużo zrobione przy dźwięku ale całość kręcona na katanie?

[@RentonGrey]

Zgadza się. Ale nie ukrywam że jeżeli chodzi o nagrywanie coraz bardziej myślę nad przesiadką na wtyczki Neurala. Łatwiej potem miksować sam sygnał niż przesterowane nagranie z Katany.

[@Szymon-er3yz]

@@RentonGrey na pewno wygodniej. Z ciekawości jakie ustawienia na katanie?

[@RentonGrey]

​@@Szymon-er3yz Nie zapisałem liveset'u 😅 Poszedłem na żywioł więc konkretnej "gałkometrii" nie odtworzę. Na pewno booster to blues drive na kanale crunch + trochę podbite 2 i 4 kHz w globalnym EQ GE-10. Chyba na input. Z miksu kompletnie wyciąłem jedną z oryginalnych ścieżek gitary, drugą (bo są dwie) przerzuciłem na lewy kanał i zmniejszyłem głośność. Z jedną gitarą brzmiało trochę pusto. Więcej grzechów nie pamiętam :)

[@31rdy]

Amazing cover! Where did you get the bridge for the guitar?

[@RentonGrey]

I haven't found such a bridge on the Polish market so I've made it from scratch using aluminium, same as the truss rod cover and the electronic chamber cover at the back 😁 That's why I was using a file in the vid - To make the top arch, and then polish it till it was looking good. I based it on a Gretsch V Chevron bridge, but I've got info that some Chinese company "Guyker" offer a similar bridge on the Internet, if that helps.
