Hey Everyone
So I started this cover two years ago and well………. It nearly Killed my channel.
I have had so many issues with this cover. When I first started it, I struggled getting the riffs to sound how I wanted, so I took a break from it. Then when I worked it out, I realised I couldn’t play the leads at all which knocked my confidence so much that I didn’t want to keep trying. On top of all this my laptop was breaking down fast so I had to retire it. After that I just gave up on it and in a way I gave up on the channel.
Flash forward to the present and having got myself back into the habit of playing again I decided it was time to tackle it again but this time I wasn’t going to just half ass it. I re-recorded everything and when it came to the leads, I tabbed it all out sat down and practised it until I was happy with it.
Irritatingly when I copied the drums over they brought with them some glitches which I guess was a compatibility issue between old and new software but other than slowing me down a bit it wasn’t too bad.
This cover caused me so many issues over the past two years that it eventually got to the point where I had to say Its done. Am I completely happy with it? No, definitely not. I’m not saying I hate it and want to burn my computer down to erase it, there are parts of this I’m proud of and parts I think could be better but its got to the point where I just had to finish it and be done with it.
This track has been a massive learning experience for me even if it hasn’t turned out the way I wanted.
If you have read all this rambling thank you. I do hope you enjoy it and stick around for my next shovel knight cover in a couple weeks.
