A Lot Like Birds - Truly Random Code (Guitar Cover + Tutorial)
"Well, I've never learned a lesson that I didn't teach myself.
I may have lost my shot at heaven, but I bored myself with hell.
My thoughts on Mother Nature? Hurt her every chance you get.
I've really come to hate her. Let's cross her off the list!"
Installation three of eleven of covers + tutorials of A Lot Like Birds. I plan on 'covering' the whole album in this manner and posting it here on this YouTube page, so please subscribe if you enjoy them and check out my band "Even the Trees" while you're on this channel! :D
Here's a link to Michael Franzino himself teaching the Intro guitar part: • A Lot Like Birds Guitar Tutorial Part Two
This song (at least the intro) IS TOUGH, and I'm not very good at finger picking, so my timing is shaky. Also it's hard tracking without a click track!
Tuning is E Standard and now I'm mic'ing my Sunn Model T playing through an Avatar 2x12 Cab Loaded with Celestion V30's with a Shure SM57
I also realize at the end I forgot to insert a tab into the video when I said I would, I shall upload an image to the tab (here) very soon! Sorry about that!
ALL of the guitar heard in these videos are of me playing. I have the stems for the album (from the Conversation Piece remix contest), so I simply remove their guitar tracks and replace them with my own renditions and recordings. Having the stems helped me learn the parts thoroughly!
A Lot Like Birds had a tab book for sale (not sure if it still is), if it's not I'll look into seeing if they mind me posting tabs as I work them out! In the mean time, support A Lot Like Birds if you like what you hear in this video by buying Conversation Piece here: http://alotlikebirds.bandcamp.com/
