Rival Sons - Feral Roots - Guitar Cover

[@IDGAF_PLUS]

This is REALLY good man! I don't think I could get this without seeing it played and even then without tab this will be tough. But I gotta say, your cover made me hear deeper parts of the song, particularly during the chorus, that I wasn't hearing before because I was focusing on the vocals. Really, such a great job on this and thank you. I see Rival Sons for the 3rd time tomorrow night in Portland, Oregon and I can't wait to hear this one live!

[@watchmakerfs]

Thanks! This one was hard to learn, I had to see Scott's live performance to see what he was doing, and the tuning I'm using is not the same.

[@IDGAF_PLUS]

@@watchmakerfs It's just Drop D with capo at 3rd right?

[@watchmakerfs]

Yes, that's the way I play at least, but by watching the videos of the shows I think it's a little different.

[@IDGAF_PLUS]

@@watchmakerfs Well it's Jay on 6 string acoustic and Scott on a 12/6 double neck, all with capos. What you have done here with one guitar is astounding.

[@timbennett6644]

Thanks!

Ive always had a connection to this song. I was thinking of using the opening as the intro to my videos. Love the reverb you used for the intro, amazing tone! Great work!

[@watchmakerfs]

Thanks!

[@dubinek500]

Wow. Superb. Can you post the tuning please? Fantastic job. Awesome song.

[@jimboC84]

Got it DADGAG.

[@rocknanarollin]

Thanks for showing me how to play this!

[@timbennett6644]

Excellent playing dude. Love this song. HAve to tried playing in DADGAD. You might find the fingering less of a stretch at times

[@watchmakerfs]

Yeah definitelly. I learn the song by ear first, so I didn't even think about the tuning.

[@FLM29]

Great work, thank you fellow musician! I´ve learned a few very nice licks from that Video. Keep on, its awesome :)

[@watchmakerfs]

Thanks!

[@mod7666]

Love this tune, you nailed that cover top effort, my turn now...gonna be at it for weeks!!!

[@watchmakerfs]

Thanks!

[@fredericverpillat1439]

perfect ! you are amazing. Can you make a cover of "Look Away" ?

[@watchmakerfs]

Thanks! I'll cover Look Away sometime.

[@beakmann]

Perfect!

[@watchmakerfs]

Thanks!

[@RattySkankster]

Awesome🤟

[@watchmakerfs]

Thanks!

[@onsight2822]

Brilliant , note perfect to my ears anyway 👍 Could I ask what effect you use to get that sound especially at 3,50 / the solo Epic dude 🤘

[@watchmakerfs]

Thanks! About the solo, I use amplitube 4, but I don't remember the signal chain. I think it was a Fender Champion with lots of gain and a fuzz with low volume and gain.

[@fylyp]

This one's a bit tricky Amazing job you did Thanks for deciphering this great song

[@watchmakerfs]

Thanks!

[@KB5150]

This reply is ALMOST a haiku. ALMOST.

[@RafaelFilipys07]

@@watchmakerfs thanks so much dude! I'll try to play it at home! Thanks! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@lukashuebner3049]

Great job! Could you share the tabs please?

[@watchmakerfs]

Thanks! I don't have any tabs, I've learned by ear.

[@Coirman]

Hi ! Very nice video, which tuning do you use please ? Thanks !!!

[@watchmakerfs]

Drop D with a capo on the 3rd fret.

[@marco81t]

Very great video! Amazing! Could you write down some tabs for newbies like me? 😁

[@watchmakerfs]

I don't do tabs, sorry mate. You can use the slow speed mode on YT to learn the difficult parts, it helps.

[@ramsey20027]

Please tab this! Love this song

[@watchmakerfs]

Thanks, but I don't do tabs or tutorials, sorry.

[@Rocketman200mph]

Are you learning all of these via transcription? If so may I ask how long you’ve been transcribing? With your ear I would love to listen to any original content you come out with, and possibly collaborate if you have any inclination to in the future? Keep up the impressive work man.

[@watchmakerfs]

Thanks. I learn every song by ear, I've always did, can't stand tabs because I'm too lazy to read them. I've been playing guitar for 14 years now. If I can't figure it out by myself, I look for youtube videos of the live performance and just copy what the guitar player is doing. As far as original stuff, I have some material but I don't have the time to record the songs. I will sometime, and then I'll release an EP or something .

[@MonsterLp1000]

@@watchmakerfs that's what I will try to do with your Video now! Because it is an amazing close shot of the neck. Thank you man!

[@hakonhauge2509]

Fantastic job! Please make a tortourial!

Thanks, but I don't do tabs or tutorials, sorry.
