Rings of Saturn - Godless Times (Full Guitar Cover)

I've wanted to cover this song for a long time and I finally got around to it. I covered the sweep parts poorly on my instagram a couple of years ago and I've definitely improved since then but it was still quite the challenge.

[@LegendPoptart]

Holy shit it’s people like you that make me want to learn the guitar. I can only imagine how good that felt to nail like that good shit man.

[@RyuGuitars]

Haha thank you! You should try learning!

[@_.Rebel.exe._]

I’m glad I got this in my recommended this shit is sick as fuck, great cover bro ❤️

[@RyuGuitars]

Thank you!

[@TappingDasVein]

I’ve never heard rings of Saturn before but this makes me wanna check them out

[@RyuGuitars]

They definitely have some good music (except their latest album), should definitely look into them!

[@dontmindmeimjustthescottis1194]

sounds like if Beethoven was in a metal band

[@xmultiprogrammx]

Ah yes, especially on 2:06

[@jackinsane6928]

That's because Beethoven was the OG

[@killswitchfate]

It is 😎

[@ekojar3047]

Or ....the ancient greats from earth. was metal before it was cool 😎

[@ekojar3047]

Imagine a moshpit at a beethoven symphony! I would be shredding those fan dillys off of dudes necks brah! 😂 Curly wigs would be all over the place, like a debris cloud XD

[@angler4754]

Awesome cover! I’ve been waiting for this

[@carlchameleon9847]

Knew you would nail it. Great job, dude!

[@RyuGuitars]

I’m happy I was able to deliver. Thank you!

[@W0B0N]

Fantastic!

[@Waffle_97]

Nailed it mate, awsome job !

[@VeroGMD]

Really clean, love it

[@Unknown-Guitarist]

You are wicked dude. Is great to see ppl putting all the effort to learn this super complex structures. Top quality gear. Congratz and cheers!!

[@RyuGuitars]

Thank you!!

[@sertaysakizoglu5553]

SUPER clean my guy!!!

[@shookshaken]

This should have many more views than it does, epic guitar dude really

[@ryanmatte2710]

Amazing guitar, and amazing playing. That sounded super clean throughout

[@RyuGuitars]

Thank you!

[@MikeAngelo7604]

Woooow !!!! Amazing 🤩🤩

[@xeonpluto]

Yooo awesome cover!🤘🤘

[@fabian7463]

This is clean!

[@awguitarroom8033]

Insanity my friend. Wow. As someone that has dabbled in this song id say i know this took hella time and dedication to get down 🤘

[@RyuGuitars]

This song is definitely very hard. I learned the first half about 2 years ago and gave up on the rest. I figured I might as well fully cover it finally!

[@_yeheskel4970]

Super clean! Bro you're underrated af. Def need more subs

[@RyuGuitars]

Thank you!

[@RickHardcore]

Good job!!🎸🎸

[@futuresoldier4296]

Rad bro, Godspeed

[@JohnnySideburnsX]

Killler tone!!

[@UnstableInLINY]

Solid Solid Cover!

[@RyuGuitars]

Thank you!

[@Xaybas]

God damn that was nice

[@tarrabah5775]

Clean sweeps... and even without fret wrap

[@RyuGuitars]

A lot of the times I feel like fret wraps make it harder. It makes me have to get pretty strong attack and doesn’t allow as much legato

[@tarrabah5775]

@@RyuGuitars for me even If they Play it without picked notes decending it's Just uncomfortable cause i'm Not used to it

[@LukeDjents]

Great cover dude! Those sweeps sounded great 🔥🔥🔥

[@RyuGuitars]

Thank you!

[@miguelsalehi]

Dude I love your guitar. I had one built out very similar on the Kiesel website but I've yet to pull the trigger!

[@RyuGuitars]

I’ve made so many builds that I want to buy… until I see they’re 4k lol. The one in this video was used but I got lucky as it was almost exactly what I would’ve spec’d anyways. My latest kiesel was bought in stock and once again, near perfect specs!

[@rorydowd9462]

Wow

[@psychedelicloli]

Nice

[@kiaruna]

veryclean !!

[@RyuGuitars]

Thank you!!

[@jbill8577]

Insane talent! What gear do you use?

[@RyuGuitars]

I use my Kiesel with lithium pickups, into my focus rite 2i4, and I’ve been using NeuralDSP’s John petrucci plug-in for all of my covers since around August. I switch between presets for the different tones in the song. Thank you!

[@sami7610]

what scales is this riff made on

[@Leo._...]

I'd love to see you cover Pustules from Gidim. probably my favorite song from Rings Of Saturn

[@RyuGuitars]

I’ve already done that one!

[@phrench64]

King shit

[@justinbowen1183]

Do you have any suggestions for the 3-7 stretch?!? Iv been working this 5-3-7 pattern out for about 20 or so minutes and i have small hands like you. Do i just have to keep stretching my fingers out until they get used to it? Iv been playing for 15+ years and this is a whole new play method for me. I really dig this intro part so i wanted to get it under my belt.

[@RyuGuitars]

It’s hard to get that stretch at slower speeds I feel but as you speed it up you can pull your hand off a bit and bridge the gap without much change in sound because of how fast it is. If you’re not already, I recommend trying in classical position too. I don’t usually play in classical position but for this song and a couple others with big stretches I’ve had to.

[@justinbowen1183]

@@RyuGuitars iv played for 15 years with it sitting across my leg however I recently acquired a bc rich warlock guitar and have had it resting in-between my legs which is much more comfortable for me, a style iv never done before. Makes it much much easier to hit notes especially the higher ones it just puts the fretboard right in your face it's fantastic🤘🤘 I did notice however that I was much easier to do at a faster pace. I originally just used a metronome and practiced it at a slow speed which was really hard at first until I got around the 180 bpm measure. Thank you for the advice have a wonderful day 👍

[@RyuGuitars]

@@justinbowen1183 no problem! I don’t really slow most stuff down anymore when I’m learning it because of how different the playing can be at slow vs full speed. I only slow it down if it’s so complex that it forces me to haha.

[@justinbowen1183]

@@RyuGuitars I have the same problem I just find more technical stuff much better when sped up however I do try my best to learn it slow so I gain the middle memory however after that I jack it up lol

[@SneakyIsDead]

Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[@shannonhill3356]

Good job on your form. If you don’t anchor that picking hand with the pinky it’s likely to just fly off - this is OSHA approved picking.

[@RyuGuitars]

Haha thank you! It’s the only way to play if you ask me

[@gugalldiznii383]

Yo where did you get that guitar?

[@RyuGuitars]

I got this one used on reverb but I got my new kiesel from their in-stock section on their site!

[@skittles6682]

Where did you learned it from? and what tuning is it in?

[@RyuGuitars]

I used the tabs from ultimate guitar. It’s in EAEADGBE

[@vladpopa3266]

Thanks man. Nice covers you play insanely well gj

[@foulplayershandbookofficia4389]

lol wtf just wtf. i want to sweep like that. i'd love to see you make a video all about sweeping.

[@RyuGuitars]

I’ve thought about making a techniques video… might try to get around to that

[@Bong_Ripper]

holy shit wanna be in a band 😈

[@user-yk8ul1lb4b]

Очень не хватает сустейна

[@user-mw4kg8cx8t]

Cover some archspire bro

[@RyuGuitars]

I’ve already covered every Archspire song

[@NotPhly]

What do they feed you dude🤣

[@lgcuber597]

Clearly these times are not godless, because a god had to write it, and another god had to one take cover it.

[@RyuGuitars]

Haha thank you!!

[@konodeamerika]

dude...that's insane

[@RyuGuitars]

Thank you!
