[@jacknagiev5729]

Dude, it's amazing!) To be honest, singing is not perfect, but the whole picture is awesome! great job and greetings from Russia!)

[@darshakthakkar7686]

Woooooooooooooooooooow! Beautiful!

[@StuMckay]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@darshakthakkar7686]

@@StuMckay buddy can you please help me with the tunning of the guitar?

[@StuMckay]

@surfrusty12 Thanks, I'm quite flattered because I have never had any vocal training so I must be doing something right if it sounds like I have :D Unfortunately I cannot write music in the alt/prog sphere as much as I'd love to but thanks for your interest. You can find my originals here if you so choose to listen facebook(dot)com/nevskyprospektband

[@fuse711]

Epic! Been watching your covers all day - loving them! Will get onto your originals too soon ;)

[@StuMckay]

Thanks dude, appreciate the feedback. Be awesome if you checked out my band but no pressure haha

[@StuMckay]

Drop D standard tuning.

[@StuMckay]

Thanks guys, appreciate the kind words. Maybe you'd like my Mastodon acoustic cover too, have a gander at your leisure. youtube(dot)com/yahoorsor

[@vinchenta3325]

BRO...WOW..and this was 8 years ago...eager to hear the latest covers..Subscribed!!

[@Icescreecher]

goodness this is amazing..i am pretty sure Karnivool would love this too. Pure brilliance !

[@samvaiphei8433]

You are so effin good man. That chorus blew mw away. Bravo

[@JareTerran]

It's nice to see vocalists that can actually play the instrument they use as backing. Fantastic job, dude, this song does not go easy on your right hand but you kept the rhythm and harmony consistent.

[@StuMckay]

Haha thanks dude. I think being the guitarist and singer in a 3 piece band has really helped develop good coordination with singing and playing tricky rhythms etc. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@StuMckay]

Not too long to be honest. Once I has an idea of what chord progression to go with it kind of fell into place pretty quickly. The beauty of the song is it has such a great melody so transcribing a corresponding progression was a pleasure.

[@KONassis]

Massive Effort - Perfect

[@StuMckay]

@TheXhoobx Thanks dude appreciate it. The song is in drop D and standard tuning. I've never tabbed a song out before so if I was to it'll probably take me all year but if I do eventually tab this one out I'll let you know directly. Cheers!

[@mrgrimshaw]

Absolutely fantastic cover, well done. I prefer the guitar to the original

[@StuMckay]

mrgrimshaw Woah thanks man. That's a huge compliment. Cheers for watching. 👍

[@onebigwolfyboi]

Inspiring. Very well done.

[@StuMckay]

@pocockg Thanks man appreciate it. I have to say that it was a lot easier to translate this to acoustic than I envisioned. I think because the melody is so strong that coming up with chords/arpeggios move together quite easily. Check out my cover of Mastodon's song Oblivion, that took a bit to work out a solid structure.

[@Unanythang]

this made me cry. Goosebumps.

[@valgolovko9795]

Amazing!!

[@varvaravoinarovska3856]

everything sounds amazing! you have very nice vocal, guitar technique an guitar sound, just love your cover!

[@juliusbauder1292]

Super fucking cool version you made 🤘🤘

[@StuMckay]

@ds6011 Cheers dude glad to hear I have done the song justice in some way or another. I have to say I'm pretty lazy when it comes to tabbing songs out but I'll try my best to get one up for you.

[@someshwarbhattacharya678]

great job man....just perfect

[@ulises53027ify]

Good shit dude...I ve been learning to translate songs into acoustic forms and sing at the same time..shits tough and u did a kick ass job...suscribed!

[@bercast40]

Do you have a tab for this ? I can't find one in standard tuning, thanks !

[@Obsidianviridian]

So much skilllllllllllllzzzzzz 😱 Living 👌🏼 Central Queensland

[@StuMckay]

#Tiarahface Vantablack thanks a lot for watching. So much love for QLD! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@Trisgrand]

incredible dude well done

[@lordownanglo]

Dude fuck! That's just mind blowing. This isn't easy to play.

[@HangTheBankers1]

You're kidding! Guitar tab please...this is so good.

[@DavidDiLillo]

Excellent command of the guitar phrasing vs singing! Sweet Jesus.

[@StuMckay]

@Auwaea1 Thanks! Much appreciated.

[@Healingestures]

Love it much Love 💜

[@weepoppetxx]

I don't listen to Karnivool (heard their name in passing, but not heard THEM), but I like this! Off to find original, now! Good job, sir! *applauds*

[@BhaskarKuchimanchii]

This is pure class ! Wonderful job \,,/

[@natme7649]

WOW!! Great job! Mammoth song very well adapted. Congratulations. :)

[@StuMckay]

Thanks :D

[@Jelston17]

Props dude. Nicely done.

[@SentinelBand]

Holy shit that was very impressive. Vool is not easy on guitar or vocals, or especially doing both at once. Keep up the excellent work. I also do acoustic covers on my page if you are interested in checking any out. Cheers

[@alvinstanly]

Wow man great work

[@ds6011]

You have definitely done Justice to the song..and i think this might be one of the best covers for themata. Try covering all i know or roquefort or simple boy by the vool?? Try simple boy please.

[@SyTheMetalhead]

Immense cover version. Awesome stuff dude

[@MarjanaSemkina]

Jeez that was challenging what you just did and you nailed it! The name of the band gave me hope you're from St. Petersburg, but your english tells me you're not. :) keep up the great work!

[@GonePh1shing]

Man that was awesome! Any chance you have a tab or chord progression written down? Would love to learn this version.

[@YRUACNT]

Great cover mate! Can you tab this for me?

[@lyleleclair9037]

wicked man!!

[@supriokamal7072]

this was amazingly executed!

[@DarkestofTimes]

Excellent cover, great guitar playing and concentration. Anyone ever tell you, you look like Benjamin Burnley?

[@StuMckay]

+DarkestofTimes Thanks dude. No first time someone has likened me to him. I used to get Gerard Way a lot when I had longer hair haha

[@DarkestofTimes]

Yeah you do kind of look like Gerard Way.

[@japer2]

Dude. Well. Done!

[@StuMckay]

@cancerbotX Thanks. Appreciate it!

[@TechAndi2]

Awesome man

[@PerryDeGennaro]

NOICE!!!

[@mynamestef]

Really nice. You've got a good range there. I didn't think Themata would be a good song to cover with just guitar and vocals, I guess I was wrong.

[@ds6011]

Brilliant! As a fellow voolian...i must say..you did it perfect. *respect

[@TheDive99]

Very impressive.

Awesome cover dude Oh by the way what tuning are you in ? Standard? It would really help if you could tell

[@StuMckay]

@@StuMckay Got any tabs?:)

[@Robv93]

brilliant stuff dude! keep it up! ;)

[@surfrusty12]

You have a very good voice. It sounds like you've had vocal training. Your range is particularly impressive. If you write your own progressive stuff and you ever need a session drummer to do some percussion tracks for you, just send me a message.

[@ds6011]

could you please put up the tabs??

Great cover nailed it keep it up :D

Is this in standard tuning or Karnivool tuning?

[@StuMckay]

Haha. Let's get it on.

[@surfrusty12]

That's a shame. Your vocal range is well suited to progressive music, and you clearly have an appreciation for it. You should make some time for it in the future

That was amazing buddy! how long did it take to get it up to scratch?
