Vildhjarta - Dagger (Guitar Cover)

Recorded with the Ibanez RG2077XL through Kemper PowerHead with SPDIF into RME HDSPe AIO. Dual tracked with 30% pan and slight additional compression and EQ in FL Studio. Played thoroughly with the stock bridge pickup (DiMarzio 7-B). The pickups aren't great but with a proper cleaning and coil adjustment they're alright. Playing with a coin pick provides some extra attack too!

Using D'Addario XL for 6 string (with 2x034): 012, 015, 020, 034, 046, 060.

Tuning is drop F with all fourths from C: F C F A# D# G# C

Filmed with Canon 750D in 720p 60fps, edited in Adobe Premiere.

Made it look like child’s play. Absolutely nailed the tone, this wasn’t a cover. It was a performance.

[Calamitous]

This is THE single best Vildhjarta cover on YouTube, from the tone, to NAILING the microtonal bends and using the lower strings for high notes - I can't believe how accurate and perfect this is, good job man

this is like the coolest style of playing a guitar. Seeing this I really can appreciate how crazy this band is

[jaroslawlukaszewicz]

This is good. I enjoy seeing you using the 24th fret on the low 7th string.

[zacharymyers]

It’s so good it makes me laugh, idk if that makes sense but props to you, amazing work

[GNYCNG]

You deserve a sub for that, bravo! Like others have pointed out already, you nailed the nuance of this song.

Drop F sounds pretty damn good on that 27 inch neck ;)

[TheLoneDerangerr]

six years later and this is still the nastiest tone

[fmilton]

The most unconventional guitar writing I have ever seen yet has so much GD attitude! I still grove side to side with a stank face at the 2:08 mark to this day. It is so brutal in its simplicity and chaos. Great cover!

[athmaid]

Your right hand technique looks so relaxed it's amazing

[KASTAWORON]

Seeing your strumming is so damn satisfying! Such precision and technicality! Almost machine-like.

[darkglass]

Unreal man, fucking love sinister, dominating sound of Vildhjarta. Great playing, production all round.

[David-rjru]

i watch this cover multiple times a day.

[tomitomescu]

OMG, how did you manage to get this tone?! This cover should be pay to watch for the quality it has!

[yvanwrc]

You just kill me with your pick. Big S/o to Switzerland 🔥🔥

[manley]

This is one of my favorite YouTube videos of all time

[ohuklsb]

this is sick man! did you add that section at 1:03? that shit grooves hard

[samirpashayev]

hats off, mate. this is an amazing effort! and that tone, my god...

[evanhoyt]

This is by far one of the hardest things I've ever tried to play for many reasons, you sir made it look like it was a beginner song. Well done.

[diabolicwaste]

amazing dude you got their playing down and that tone seems spot on for the mix killer dude
