Hey Aakash! I gave a few insights as a reply to one of the comments below - and there is a video of Sean explaining his tone himself. Look it up on his channel, I'd always recommend going to the original source :) But the short version would be: Take a clean tone you like (depends a bit on your guitar and pickups, but go with something bassy), add saturation to make it thicker, then add a ton of compression, and then add reverb. In "It Ain't Weird" there is quite a bit of reverb actually :) Another very important tip is to play fingerstyle and be very careful about it. Turn it up and use the compression to make up for some of the unwanted differences in volume when playing fingerstyle. Good luck!!
Hi there, sorry for the late reply! It differs a bit from cover to cover - but an audio interface is always involved to connect your guitar to your PC/laptop. For this cover I used this chain: guitar -> Kemper Profiler -> audio interface -> DAW (digital audio workstation) I also used a MIDI keyboard to loop the kickdrum. For other covers I positioned a microphone in front of an actual amp: guitar -> amp -> microphone -> audio interface -> DAW In this chain, changing the position of the mic has a major impact on your tone! By the way, if you are interested in Sean's way of recording and getting that tone, take a look at his channel - he has uploaded a video on that some time ago. Often times, he goes with: guitar -> audio interface -> DAW That is called DI (direct injection), as in "directly into" your DAW. I hope I could help a bit. Feel free to reach out, if you have more questions! :) Cheers!

Hi Jabe, how do you record your covers?

Tabs?
I don't have any tabs, sorry!
You could change the playback speed to follow along :)
Sean Angus Watson might have it available on his patreon!
