This is a video of me practicing before the big day

In this video I go through all the elements in my instrumental cover of Running up that Hill by Kate Bush. The video is very in depth and goes into detail of every aspect of the track, so it ended up being really long. Time stamps: Intro - 00:00 Organization & Workflow - 00:30 Drums & Percussion - 04:53 Guitar & Bass - 24:01 Keyboard - 32:05 Pads - 50:39 Sweeps - 52:15 Saving a Template - 55:58 Master Chain - 56:59 A/B Referencing - 01:01:54 Exporting - 01:12:29 Outro - 01:13:25 As always, thanks for watching!

In this video I show you how to play the instrumental parts of this cover. I also show some of the processing that I did, but not in as much detail as my first video. In my first "How Its Made" video I explain why I do what I do and what each little processing tool is doing. In this video I do show what I did to the mix, but if you want the how/why of each step - I would point you to the first video. Having said all that, I do show how to play the bass line, rhythm guitar parts, keyboard, and lead guitar for my cover of this song. Time Stamps: Intro: 00:00 How to play the bass line: 05:12 How to play the rhythm guitar: 16:26 How to play the lead guitar: 29:40 There is much more information than just the "how to play" parts, but here are some timestamps for those that just want that.

I came up with this bass line while doing some pentatonic riffing on another project. I liked the way it sounded and it inspired me to pause work on the other project and start a new one. I started with the bass line, then added percussion, and finally added guitar. This was a fun spur of the moment project and I thought the entire time it would sound great with some vocals over the drums and bass. In my imagination I see some Zach de la Rocha type vocals on this track, but I would be interested to see what anyone can come up with for this track. Thanks for watching!

This song has been a favorite of mine for a long time. It has been on my list of covers to do, so I am glad that I took some time recently and recorded it. This is also my first recording done with my new Fender Stratocaster in Polar White. I had to sell my last Strat, which was my favorite guitar, to afford rent when I was much younger. Now that I have one again it feels like being home and I couldn't wait to get to recording. I labeled each section of this video with the part that I was playing (guitar chords, lead guitar, arpeggio, organ, & bass). I know musicians will already know what I am doing based on the area of guitar I am playing and what notes I am hitting, but I thought for the non musicians among us it would be nice to add little titles so they would also know what part is being played on screen. As always, Thanks for watching!

Here is my cover of Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush. Like many people, I heard this song for the first time on the 4th season of Stranger Things. I think its a really cool song and immediately wanted to do a cover of it. In this video I played piano for most of the track, but also added some guitar, bass, shaker, and midi samples via the keyboard. Overall I am very happy with it and hope that you enjoy it! Thanks for watching.
