Sepultura - Altered State - Guitar Cover w/Solo (+Tabs)

Almost a year since my cover of Arise, we are going back to this monumental album with Altered State. This song is not the fastest nor the most complicated, but it captures some of Sepultura’s finest work, both in terms of arrangement and groove.
It took about 10 separate guitar tracks to fully capture each detail of the song, from the harmonised break and solo (1 tone down FYI) to the little pick scrapes and random noise at the end. However, I am really pleased with what is my most ambitious project to date, both in terms of sound and accuracy!
Once again, I used a preset on the ToneCloud called "Sepultura-Arise AmpMatch" which, as the name suggests, has been matched with the isolated guitar track and sounds ridiculously close to the original! Thanks Paco Romero if you ever see this vid for making it!
The intro features footage from Sepultura’s Live in Barcelona DVD, here’s the link to the video: • Sepultura - Altered St...

that intro of the song has a very strong mortal kombat vibe

[@TbombGuitar]

Yeah I see what you mean, the somber background riff with the erratic leads on top

[@Bioxidus85]

@@lentesecliques its not about what came first, its about the vibe i get from it

[@Bioxidus85]

@@TbombGuitar yeah

[@quack_meister3355]

INCREDIBLE tone oh my

[@TbombGuitar]

Yeh this is pretty damn close!

[@DeathCovers]

Phenomenal playing. Tone is absolutely spot on. And a fantastic t shirt to boot! I give this a 9 out of 7!

[@TbombGuitar]

Thanks a lot man!

[@jacobfrueh8779]

So fucking sick, you deserve way more credit for your work on youtube and on soundslice, you've helped me learn multiple songs! Good shit brother

[@TbombGuitar]

Thanks a lot my guy! I'm glad that I could help you learn songs, your comment means a lot!

[@ibexthadevil3533]

Great job...tone is on point

[@TbombGuitar]

Thanks a lot dude!

[@j.m.m726]

one of the best covers I've ever seen dude. Awesome tone. Dope ass t-shirt🤘

[@TbombGuitar]

Thanks a lot man, this song is often overlooked even though it's one of the strongest tracks in the album ! I had to wear the appropriate tee for it too !

[@qlexmqx]

Amazing cover , bro ! I think this song is pretty underrated , glad you covered it! \m/

[@TbombGuitar]

Sooooo underrated but a personal fave of mine! There's more coming from Arise!

[@maximediastore]

This is why ARISE get more and more attention with the time, awesome album and so many great thrash songs and this is one of them! great job man!

[@calebo56]

absolutely killed this cover. sounds just like the original, and that solo is CRISP. love the part when it sounds really high at 4:00, easily one of my favorite parts in any Sepultura song

[@kevinberstler]

Nice way to include the intro. Sometimes, I just skip the intro and get straight to the “song,” but I feel a little bad for not including it. Haha great job, homie!

[@TbombGuitar]

Yeah I prefer to keep intros as they really build up the tension and are part of the songs anyways! Thanks for the kind words as always man!

[@YeOldeGuitarDude]

Nailed the tones! Great cover. And now I know how to play it too ;) Thanks!

[@TbombGuitar]

Thanks dude! The tab will be up soon that should make your life easier!

[@craigcarroll3333]

This is spectacular. You are helping me I'm not a natural guitarist.(I was supposed to be a drummer) but that's expensive and loud so I'm determined to learn guitar. This is so cool you helping us play our favorite old school metal. Thank again. You did a great job\,,/

[@TbombGuitar]

Thank you so much for the kind words my friend! My aim is to rectify a lot of tabs that are wrong, so I am really glad I could help you learn this song!

[@nicolasbum]

Great performance! Sepultura Rules!

[@TbombGuitar]

Thanks boss, I love old Sepultura and this is their best work!

[@nicolasbum]

@@TbombGuitar Don't forget to mention Septic Schizo. Probably my personal favourite! :)

[@TbombGuitar]

That's the album that made me discover them, then came Chaos AD and then Arise to top them all off

[@nicolasbum]

@@TbombGuitar Cool, Schizophrenia is brutal! Overall they have solid records! But Beneath the Remains beats them all, for me. :) Lobotomy is a true masterpiece. Can't wait to see it on your channel someday!

[@UnFun--_--]

Dude. I've got to hand it you 👏

[@MetalDeathHead]

What did you use to get that guitar tone? its exactly like the album

[@TFOB86]

do you have any amp settings for that tone

[@TbombGuitar]

I used a preset from Bias FX's tone cloud, it should be in the description I think
