You know I never thought to do that with this one for some reason. Might have to though but I'd like to develop it a bit more. Thanks!

@@ryandavismusic1794 I really enjoy this so much and would love to be able to take it with me on the go. If there is a way I could do that and help support you, let me know.

Those are the grand tetons

7734: Fighting in the dark 7734 (acoustic): Moving on from the darkness into the light

Aquaria is the game that made me realize that indie games had a lot of what has been missing from modern games and I really enjoyed it. Felt an instant connection to the OST and I never stopped enjoying it. This year it was tough to do my annual playthrough since I had not played it since Alec was lost. Nevertheless it's a great game and if Derek ever showed interest in making a sequel I'd be all over it. Thanks for the kind words!

Thanks bud! If you are into european metal and dense walls of noise then you might want to check out my other channel too. ruclips.net/user/Garpocalypse

Thanks! Full EP is up on my site now and I'm posting another track from it in another day or two.

Thanks. I wasn't originally going for such a softer interpretation of the song but as time went on it started to come out that way. Probably going to revisit this and do another cover of it at some point. Btw, got to see Sabaton live in my hometown a short time ago. Awesome show.

RyanDavis Music it's still soft and it's nice to hear. You mean that you saw them on the last tour. I had them at Antwerp, you?

It's an awesome image. I took a few minutes to look for it again but wasn't able to find a direct link to it. I was searching for images under "abstrat heaven" and the like. Honestly though i'm not crazy about these videos being a bunch of still images and i plan to do a new version of this cover and do an actual music video for it eventually.

@@ryandavismusic1794 Any news for the new version of this cover?

@@olivermoran9319 strange I didn't get notified about this comment. No new version of this one coming just yet but I am currently working on a new acoustic metal cover from one of my favorite bands. Been awhile but more will be coming.

+Michal Koubek thanks! Right now I'm looking for ways to improve my YT channel. How to videos are certainly a possibility though I gotta admit my video editing skills are abysmal.

+Michael Davidog Jeremy Soule is the composer for The Elder Scrolls games, Skyrim being the most recent one. By layering several instances of reverb he can make one instrument sound like it's coming from everywhere. For this I used about 7 seperate reverb instances to represent various distances then mixed them all together. I would recommend Epic Verb from Variety of Sound I use that one all of the time.

RyanDavis Music Hello! Thank you very much for reply! One instrument (cello for example) send to 7 separate reverbs (using 7 return tracks in ableton)? How to mix them together? And how to set various distances? Thank you!

Michael Davidog Think of reverbs as mic positions and you'll get it. The wetter the reverb the more distant it sounds and if you combine that with gentle lpf'ing you can give the give the impression that sound is being captured from several distances at once between the dry signal and the fake mic's. You can mix it all easily if you use auxes/buses for the reverb and post fader sends to control the level.

+Marko Perosevic thanks. I definitely need to get on a better release schedule but more will be coming soon! I'm also hoping to get this acoustic metal cover album I've been working on out before the end of the year.

+Roything707 Thanks brother! I have been meaning to get more stuff on this YT channel. I am currently working on an acoustic power metal cover album that I hope to get out soon. As far as tips go i'm really no virtuoso. Play everything that you hear and don't overdo it or you'll end up with several overuse injuries like I did! Good luck!

+RyanDavis Music Do you ever think you would ever make guide videos on how to play your covers?

I'm looking for ways to improve my youtube channel so it's possible. Originally I wanted these covers to be more audio production demonstrations than playing videos but honestly even i'm getting bored with putting up videos of stills. I'll keep your idea in mind!

yea i've really got to get on a better release schedule. Once every four months is not going to work. :)

Thanks a ton! I really enjoy doing these acoustic arrangements.

​@@ryandavismusic1794 then do more!! these are fucking brilliant dude! don't be so selfish to keep them to yourself :P

I'm really glad I was able to find a great Uilleann Pipe sample in East West's RA. That's been an instrument i've been wanting to use for a long time!

RyanDavis Music I had to share it on my Sonata Arctica related page. Well done man.

Tiziano I. Can you provide the link to your SA page? I'd like to see it!

there you go. It's the official italian page about SA. facebook.com/SonataArcticaItaly

When I listen to this version, i see in my imagination, big green field, with flowers and laughing children... In original version i see some kind of hellish battlefield... My imagination is not original (at least in this part). :D

What you realized is a huge goal of mine by doing these acoustic covers. There is a lot of metal out there that is much more musically mature than people give it credit for. Once someone hears a guitar with high gain, aggressive drumming or intense vocals they immediately relegate it to being a lesser art for some reason. Acoustic reinterpretations like this prevent the non-initiated from being scared off and allow them to hear the music in metal.

RyanDavis Music So, what's your next acoustic project? If I would you suggest something, well... Acoustic version of Night Witches made also by Sabaton, or Neon Knights by Dio would be great... Also obligatory... WHY IT AIN'T GOT MORE VIEWS?

:) Right now I have a few more from Sabaton i'm working on, one from Sonata Arctica and another from Equilibrium.

Nice. You deserve a greater recognition, cuz your covers are awesome. Period.

every song in world can be played brutal, soft, groovie ect ect... it's all about arrangement, instrument you use and tempo and feeling you chose. You can go on Kana-Ayano channel and see 3 acoustic covers of Sabaton, Alestorm and Firewind songs (same like this one, but diff.songs)... and you can go on Bliix chanell and hear some pop songs in rock/metal sound. It's just about what you want, the notes are same in every music genre, only the colours of the instruments and playing styles are different.

Your right brow

@@markandrew207 you're* my right eyebrow agrees tho

more coming! :)
