For sure! Is it just me, or is drop F# like THE NEW BIG THING? Between this and the new Erra album, there's been some seriously good riffs written for this tuning lately lol
It’s insane how difficult that clean part looks, but when you listen to the song you just take it for granted how crazy that part is. That’s why I love Spiritbox, the guitar playing doesn’t come off as show off-y. It all is in service of the song.
I thought it sounded harder than it is. It's still pretty tricky. It's mostly hammer-ons and slides. If you have big hands it's easier. Regardless, Idk how the hell Joao figured out the tab for it. It's borderline identical to the song, if not 100% accurate.
@@joaoldmedeiros I think this is the first video of yours where I genuinely prefer the production of certain parts of the track over the original song, which is an achievement considering the fact that « Secret Garden » is very well mixed imo. But the tone of the guitars and piano are just awesome mate congrats.
The Piano parts are delicious! Did you find the clean parts hard to play or was it just me? Haha I was hoping for your version of the ending part, would have been great 👀✨ Anyway, awesome one 🙌🏻
I'm trying to learn the song, and I can not for the life of me figure out a proper time signature with that part! I always end up playing it too fast 😂
I was surprised to see some people on the metalcore Reddit saying their new material was sounding generic. I think their new material is extremely catchy and the songs are so well written. I can wait until they come back to ATL. I haven't gotten a chance to see them live yet.
Majestic cover as always. Honestly I just love the chord progression chosen for the chorus. Props to Spiritbox for always being genius writers, and to you for always making them justice with your amazing performances :) ah and btw, I really appreciate all the details you put in your videos. In this case, the green light representing the word "garden" and the blue one representing the album title. Don't know if it was deliberate, but if it was then I'm living for it, totally
@@joaoldmedeiros on that topic, what lights do you use to get that effect? Love your videos, amigo! Some of the best production of any on RUclips right now. Keep it up 🤟
You know what I would love to see? Mike and the gang deciding to add a second guitarist into the band and seeing João offered the role. The accuracy of your covers are astounding, your technical playing ability equally so.
god this song makes me so emotional. when i saw them live and that intro riff came in, i just wailed and burst into tears, i was so happy. absolutely their most beautiful song in my opinion, it radiates springtime like crazy to me.
Sorry for leaving another comment but i'm feeling talkative today. As I mentioned i'm in absolute love with the chord progression in the chorus and that's all because of that Ab minor at the very beginning. I love the heartbreaking vibe that this degree of the minor scale, the chord built on the fourth degree, has. In this case, Ab minor in the key of Eb minor. I'm such a sucker for this chord
That clean riff is so cool. I thought it was tapped before I saw the live cover. It's a little subdued in the actual song, especially the 2nd half of the riff, so idk how tf you figured out a perfect tab of it. You're insane.
I am just grateful that there are people like you out there, whos musical understandig is just mind expanding for me, by making clear, how complex and intelligent music especially in this genre can be. Its Art
Thank you for continuing to inspire us all bro. Watching your covers actually made me trade in my video games console to focus more on my music, and I've been playing guitar for nearly 20 years. And that's a testament to how incredibly talented you are mate. May you continue to amaze us with your covers!
This is the correct response to seeing such a confluence of pure energy and talent. The "Well I'm never playing guitar again" responses always get me because imo it's like "I'm literally inspired to pick it up right now" lol.
This is one of my favorite mixes of yours. Right off the bat, no doubt about it! Everything just sits so nicely - nothing is overpowering, it's just one well polished ensemble. Those piano parts are *sublime* 😍 Edit: Is that a little bit of ping-pong on the clean guitar? I love it
Mannnnnnnn thank any deity that you exist - I don't think I've seen someone with work ethic like you. You're truly an inspiration in our community and we hope that you given the credit and bare the fruits that you deserve. Much appreciation, -AK
One of my faves from the album for sure. Love that chorus and the lyrics and whole mood of the song. A really fun to one to practice singing to. The ambient piano adds so much to the song for me too.
Your covers and production are just on point and are consistently so. Appreciate ya, and I also can't wait for the full album release. Honestly the most excited I've been about a release in a long time.
I always love watching you play songs with really technical parts. After hearing this song I was waiting for your cover and you didn't disappoint! Amazing job as always!
No matter how strange it may sound, I never once notice that cool guitarists of high quality like you and others like you play the guitar with a yellow pick!
Love it when the guitar chops are disguised in a great song. The song is great because it is great not because the guitar parts are a pissing contest. Sometimes the simple is hard and sometimes the hard looks/sounds simple/good. Great job João.
The quality your videos have reached is unbelievable man, this is in my opinion by FAR the best guitar content there is right now. Thank you João! PS you should check out some headcave, think you might like them :)

🎸 Guitar tuning: Drop F#
Who else is excited for the SPIRITBOX ALBUM? 😍
►► Watch me mix this cover: patreon.com/joaoldmedeiros
Can’t help but be excited for the album. It drops on my birthday! 😊
For sure! Is it just me, or is drop F# like THE NEW BIG THING? Between this and the new Erra album, there's been some seriously good riffs written for this tuning lately lol
Can't wait..
Everyone else points out how good the mix is so I’ll point out João is dressed like his guitar lol
HEHEHE he noticed!!!
I like his aesthetics
Stone washed shirt for the stone guitar.
THATS how good the mix is
It’s insane how difficult that clean part looks, but when you listen to the song you just take it for granted how crazy that part is. That’s why I love Spiritbox, the guitar playing doesn’t come off as show off-y. It all is in service of the song.
I aboslutely agree Noe!

1.6k likes & zero dislikes. This thing you don't see everyday. Production quality as well as playing 10/10
Thank you bery much man!
The level of quality is just incredible seriously it's incredible
Wow thanks man! I've been trying to step it up every day 🙌
@@joaoldmedeiros I think this is the first video of yours where I genuinely prefer the production of certain parts of the track over the original song, which is an achievement considering the fact that « Secret Garden » is very well mixed imo.

The accuracy is unreal. Absolutely love your work.
Thank you so very much Johnny 💗💗💗💗💗
If anyone has ever perfected the "RUclips Cover" it is definitely João. Another amazing video!
Hehehe thank you very much Dan!
The Piano parts are delicious! Did you find the clean parts hard to play or was it just me? Haha
I was hoping for your version of the ending part, would have been great 👀✨ Anyway, awesome one 🙌🏻
VERY hard 🤓 oh trust me that idea sounded better on stream hahaha it sadly didn't work as well as we thought! All the love man 😌💙
BIG ABASI VIBES
I'm trying to learn the song, and I can not for the life of me figure out a proper time signature with that part! I always end up playing it too fast 😂
Spiritbox should get João to be their second guitarist. João and Mike would create the craziest songs together.
Not gonna lie, we would (he'd write it all and I'd be like "yeah, that")
Sitting here watching 0:39 like “You what now? Huh?” 😂
That part is something else!
this really is outstanding. i hope you’re proud, because you deserve to be.
Awww thanks Mike!
I was surprised to see some people on the metalcore Reddit saying their new material was sounding generic. I think their new material is extremely catchy and the songs are so well written. I can wait until they come back to ATL. I haven't gotten a chance to see them live yet.
If you like it that's all that matters!!!
So good, man! Fucking love their guitarist's riffs. He definitely has his own unique style that I haven't seen in any other band.
Absolutely so Tom!
Majestic cover as always. Honestly I just love the chord progression chosen for the chorus.

This song is special indeed Jake!
Man, that pre-chorus riff was on fire 🔥
It's super sick man!
The album is gonna be truly epic. Have you checked out the new Caskets songs, "Lost in Echoes" and "Glass Heart"? Their debut album drops in August.
Yes it will Kazuki! I haven't no!
@@joaoldmedeiros You should definitely listen to them! A really solid band with ch0nky riffs and soaring vocals!
Dude thank you for turning me onto them, their lead singer is absolutely incredible, thank again good sir. 🙌🙏🤘
The Prechorus is just *chef's kiss*, and the ambience is literal goosebumps... Beautiful cover man as always
Super good writing Omar, thank you once again!

It hits in a very specific way Riccardo! I feel it too
hells yeah! I'm a sucker for this sound too lol
I'm Here Early from the Noti gang woooooo im Extremely Impressed
Notif gang Suraj!!! Thanks for the support man!
@@joaoldmedeiros Anyday man!!!!
That clean riff is so cool. I thought it was tapped before I saw the live cover. It's a little subdued in the actual song, especially the 2nd half of the riff, so idk how tf you figured out a perfect tab of it. You're insane.
There's a video of Mike playing this on Instagram!!! Else I would have never managed indeed ahahahaha! Thank you for the love Dennis 🙏
Love all the atmosphere in the last chorus!
Big vibes all around my friend!

Never I admired a clean part on metal track more than this one
Fair! It rocks
2:35 is real reason i am here that riff❤️❤️
Ahhh it's too good Sameer!
I love how Mike reimagined the Belcarra riff for this. It's so amazing. Spiritbox is insane. What a spectacular cover, as always.
Yeah sounds like it almost! They are!!!
This is one of my favorite mixes of yours. Right off the bat, no doubt about it! Everything just sits so nicely - nothing is overpowering, it's just one well polished ensemble.
Those piano parts are *sublime* 😍
Edit: Is that a little bit of ping-pong on the clean guitar? I love it
Thank you ALWAYS man glad you appreciate this one! It's just reverb

Those clean parts are nuts.

Simply the best of the best. Enough said.

Damn man I don't really think so but thank you for the praise!

Hey Joao, thank you for the cover :) The mix is on point as usual, it's nuts how consistently the quality of your sound is!
oh and did you change your right hand technique? it seems like your only resting position is at the edge of the guitar.
Thank you friend! Not consciously no
Joao you're amazing. I was on the live stream watching you learning the song. Can't believe how good is the mix!
Thanks so much Luis glad you liked it!
YES!!!!!
Love it when the guitar chops are disguised in a great song. The song is great because it is great not because the guitar parts are a pissing contest. Sometimes the simple is hard and sometimes the hard looks/sounds simple/good. Great job João.
