Watched almost the whole cover before noticing this wasn't a huge channel, super good production!

[@FrankAltieri]

Thank you! 🖤 I had a very talented set of people who helped me otherwise I wouldn't be able to do it as much justice! I gave them credits in the Bio. If it wasn't for them I wouldn't be able to do it as much justice! I appreciate the support 🙏

[@chriscanterburyGK]

[@garren_57]

@@FrankAltieri Thats awesome! I use the DSP Gojira too, recently upgraded to the DSP Gojira X it sounds awesome, and that guitar is so sick

[@FrankAltieri]

@@garren_57 The X came out a week later! I just used another plugin of there's with the transpose feature and bypassed everything on it before the OG Gojira! And dude... Legator knocked it out the park with this guitar! Definitely want another tbh

Ya killed it big hoss 💪

[@FrankAltieri]

Couldn't of made it possible without your hard work on this. You're the best dude. 💪

[@shilohgeorge]

Dude this is the best cover of this song. Also I’m 90% close to getting this exact guitar but can’t get over the mixed reviews I see of legator everywhere and for that price. How has yours been in terms of quality? Any slight defects?

[@FrankAltieri]

100% honesty. I'm not endorsed or affiliated. Absolutely LOVE this guitar. Quality wise is top notch. No QC issues at all. Few features I love. 1 the Richlite fretboard was new for me and where i live in NY. We have dry winters and humid summers. I also had issues with sharp frets. That's not a issue since it's not made of wood. 2.The 28 inch scale vs the usual 27 inch makes a giant difference. Especially with these low tunings. The radius is nice and flat too. Having the Evertune is a must at this point. I had a few before and I'll own nothing but evertune guitars after tbh. If you learn how to set them up. They are a god send. And yea! It looks awesome with the buckeye and all! Also fishmans are great! I know some people might not like this but I actually have a EMG 81 8 (not a 808🤢) atm and I really like it! With that said. Having active pickups the soderless ports give you options between Fishmans,Emgs and maybe even the duncan blackouts. Atm I have moderns. Tosins. A 81 and a 57. They are all awesome in there own ways! Highly recommend Legator. They are fairly new compared to alot of companies but I think they are just getting better and better.

[@FrankAltieri]

Also! Thank you for the kind words man! I wish to put out more covers soon but working 7 days a week and my buddy who did the video is a busy dude! When the time comes it will. Will be putting out something original next though I just can't gauge when!

[@darkariesprojectofficial]

Nice🎉

[@FrankAltieri]

Thank you! Sorry for the late reply I had a terrible sinus infection this week. Appreciate the support 🖤

[@darkariesprojectofficial]

@@FrankAltieri non preoccuparti

[@timgoodwintv]

Wish you played the outro! Amazing cover

[@FrankAltieri]

I'm sorry dude! I did have it tracked! I just assumed no one would want to sit through that long interlude. I'll keep in mind for the future. Thank you for the support!

[@timgoodwintv]

@@FrankAltieri No worries at all my friend! This cover was still the best one I’ve seen, I just wanted to see more that’s all haha

[@DrMurdercock]

either his hands are HUGE or Legator figured out the best way to make a 8 string neck. That neck looks about the size of my 7. Also, Leo Jaymz has a knock off, of this guitar for 300 and im so tempted

[@FrankAltieri]

Haha! My hands are pretty normal sized but I always struggled with normal sized necks. I always assumed it was the way my fingers curl into another. Longer scales were always more comfortable to me. With that said. Legator made a EXTREMELY comfortable 8 string. I'm honestly blown away how it plays. most guitars i owned kinda lost that flair over a few months. But this one I'm always happy to play! I also bought this based on its specs! The 28 inch scale and the evertune really helps these low af tunings. I still use a 85 on the Low E cause the tension makes for a better recording. All things I learned from people who's on another level than me who were more than kind enough to share their knowledge. Also! The Ritelight fretboard is a GAMECHANGER for me. I don't have the best humidity control in my room. And that leads to Sharp frets in the winter time on my other guitars. That's no issue on this. No cracked boards like ebony tends to do if not treated. I cleaned it with a paper towel and some basic house cleaner once loll!

[@romanmaster5219]

Sick cover! By the way what pickups do you have on the guitar there?

[@FrankAltieri]

@romanmaster5219 Thank you bud! In this video it's Fishman Moderns! But currently I have a EMG 81 8. (Not 808s) I still have the fishmans. I also have a Abasi set. And Emg57 and a EMG 85 8x on the way! With the actives being plug and play. Having options is pretty fun tbh. I know Fishmans are all the hype buy EMGs are still great in my opinion.

[@romanmaster5219]

@@FrankAltieri sick

[@vacn]

You made the best cover brother! 🙌🏻🎸Great performance and also your sound was perfect. Good job 🤟🏻

[@FrankAltieri]

Thank you man! I messed with alot of IRs and found a mix between a v30 and G12k100 from the GGD zilla pack sounded very similar to their sound! I appreciate the support it means alot. 🤘

[@vacn]

@@FrankAltieri WOW!! So you did a lot of hard work looking for the tone that sounds similar. I understand you, I also do covers and it is very difficult to find something that sounds similar to the original song. It is a meticulous, creative and experimental part that in my case I really enjoy because I can put my skills into practice hahaha but with a lot of time and frustration behind it. I hope to see more covers from you in the future! 🎸🤟🏻

[@FrankAltieri]

Tbh! It was a bit of a happy accident! I believe a big factor is the guitar, too. I know they use active pickups as well. Scale length and string tension is extremely important for these lower tuning. The evertune is a godsend on top of that. Otherwise, it wasn't too different from what I normally use to jam on! I have changed some things from then. Chasing guitar tones has always been a passion of mine.

[@vacn]

@@FrankAltieri That's great!! You know what you're doing, that's the key bro! I agree with you, I hope to one day get a 7 or 8 string guitar with an evertune. Beautiful guitar btw hahaha🤌🎸

[@dustinhopkins6470]

Awesome. What tuning ?

[@FrankAltieri]

Drop E Transposed a half step to Eb. Highly recommend a 27 inch scale and up for these tunings. Mine is a 28 inch with a 85 gauge string for the low E.

[@DrMurdercock]

This can't be your first YT channel man? The video production for a channel with 29 subs is insane dude. Amazing work right oout of the gate! Subbed for the hard work man, keep it up. PS your IG link is dead sir

[@FrankAltieri]

Thank you man! It is! But all credits goes too my Buddy Norr Omar and editing Goes to Anthony Spizz! If it wasn't for there talents I'd would not be able to produce the same results! I have there links in the Bio. All I done was Tracking and mixing the guitar over the Original track. And THANK YOU! I changed my Instagram name after I set up my channel which resulted in the dead link. I appreciate the feedback! I jumped on that pretty fast!

[@DrMurdercock]

Well you guys figure out how to play the algorithm game and you will make money @@FrankAltieri

[@tiagocosso4063]

can u share the tunning that u using?

[@FrankAltieri]

Hey! Drop E but I used the Transpose in the Nueral DSP plugin to drop to Eb.

[@teaguerobinson419]

So good!!! What’s the tuning and string gauges

[@FrankAltieri]

Drop E but using the Gojira Plugin I dropped it Eb. And I used a custom set from Stringjoy! 8.5 11.5. 15. 24w. 32. 42. 56. 85. It's also important to note! My guitar scale is 28 inches. I actually sized up on the bottom 3 strings recently and I like it alot. My low E is a 90. Which adds to around 20 pounds of pressure. Which is what I am for ok my wound strings.

[@kcartwright2772]

Have you shared this preset Frank ?

[@FrankAltieri]

I haven't! But I can open up the session and find my settings. Also. I didn't use the stock IRs. I believe I used GGD Zilla for the IRs

[@carljacques1253]

Great job, do you have tabs for this?

[@FrankAltieri]

Thank you! Unfortunately, I don't but there's a few here on KZbin!

[@DanCrisisAge]

Amazing cover man! Would've loved to see/hear the last sexy part of the song with you mixing. Btw, what's the tuning?

[@FrankAltieri]

Thank you! Tbh I had it tracked but I didn't think most people would want to sit through a very long interlude to get to it. I apologize about that! My guitar is tuned to Drop E. But Transposed to Drop Eb using Neural DSP Gojira X

[@didtoknan8128]

IV is tuned to EAEADGBE then pitch shift -1 semi tone.

[@FrankAltieri]

​@didtoknan8128 I didn't know that! Pretty interesting honestly. Thank you!

[@didtoknan8128]

@@FrankAltieri Yes and his 30" 6 string (ok 29.75" when he was using the Gretsch) is just EADGBE. One thing that I noticed (at least live, of course I have no idea what they did in the studio), is that IV likes to play near the nut. For example in the chorus of the summoning, he don't use the 8th string. It's - 222 / - - 355. Then - 222, - 355, - - 355.

[@marcoaraujo6328]

amazing cover and sound, but the video editing has to many camera changes! a little bit annoying.

[@FrankAltieri]

Appreciate the support regardless. But the dudes who put the editing on this I stand behind. They are incredibly talented individuals. Close your eyes if you must. ✌️peace.
