Necrophagist - Advanced Corpse Tumor (cover)
Possibly one of the most awkward Necrophagist songs to play because of the erratic changes of position and technique, but it was worth it because of dat riff at 02:00 (well, that incarnation of the riff anyway), one of my favourite parts of the entire album! Got to love the evil chromatic minor chord progression as well, used several times throughout the song. The solo sounds a little repetitive at first but definitely gets more likeable the more you get to know it!
Youtube's downsampling from 50 fps might make the video look time-stretched - switch to the higher settings at 50 fps and it should look more natural!
It's in C-standard because it's simply too much of a hassle to go from my regular tuning, C-standard, to E-standard with all the balancing, intonation etc. that is required, just for one or two covers.
It was recorded December 7 using a Shure SM57 (angled very slightly, aimed at the center of the left bottom speaker) through an E-MU 0404 USB 2.0 audio interface.
The video was recorded using a Sony HX100V, edited using Sony Vegas Pro 13.0 x64 and rendered as a 1920x1080 50p (same as the original footage) MP4 video using 2 reference frames, "High", 14 Mbps CBR, CUDA-encoded, with 48 kHz and 384 kbps audio. In Vegas, I added some high-pass EQ to the rhythm guitars, as well as some reverb to the lead guitars.

I used the Guitar Pro tab at (it is pretty inaccurate though, so I ended up tabbing most of it myself, especially the solo):
