    This was so sick! The grit on your voice during the chorus was 👌🏼 I think you absolutely nailed the Foo Fighters sound, style, etc. Fantastic job. I grew up listening to the Foo Fighters and they were my first concert at 12 years old so I very much enjoyed this video. I really liked the in depth look at the song. This video really exceeded my expectations.

    For what its worth, my roommate and his gf walked into the house while i had the song playing and both were convinced it was FF.

    Excellent video, mate. I absolutely loved it, and don't worry about not sounding exactly like Dave 'cause you totally nailed the style. Also, I think it's worth mentioning that the unusual chord progressions come from Dave not knowing anything about music theory, let alone keys. He just puts together the chords that sound good to him and it kinda works.

      thanks Daniel! I appreciate it. and you’re right! the funnest part about that is that I used my knowledge of music theory to replicate Dave’s lack of knowledge of music theory 🤣 really shows that you can get good results from either direction!

    If this was sung by Dave, and i had a blindfold on, I would totally think this was a foo fighters song. Love this sound

    Hi Eric, very cool song!!! I'm in the process of adding some Foo Fighters vibes to our new songs myself. May I ask if you would make the SD3 preset available to your fan community?...😁 That would be extremely cool!!!

    Great job! Such a beauty groove. To me the one thing that really defines the Foo Fighters is their use of octaves, especially from Chris and a lot of times all three of them.

    The bridge it's the only part that I didn't like much, it's the FF's style but because it's mostly a copy of Best of You. The rest of the song it's AMAZING.

    I really love this series, and I would really like if you tried making a Queens of the Stone Age, Arctic Monkeys or The Pretty Reckless song next. Also, will this song be available on Spotify like the Green Day style song?

    That was a really good!! I really enjoyed the chord modulation in the chorus (music math awesomeness), the rock and roll group fill thing 2/3rds into the song (the was so jammin) and the vox. Nice Job!

  • @sttssymbl

    Great video - I was kinda surprised about the rhythm guitar in the middle though. Wouldn't it be more typical to have the rhythm guitars panned left and right with lead guitar down the middle? (not that I'm doubting what they said on the documentary)

    • @EricAmesmusic
      @EricAmesmusic  2 года назад +3

      that definitely is more typical, but I rolled with what Dave said in the doc. but the fact that Chris and Pat are panned left and right respectively makes the mix balanced. Dave's guitar in the middle kinda acts like a second bass guitar, in my opinion. just holding down the rhythm along with the drums.

    • @jacestephenweatherall1732
