Info: Did this one as a request from a friend. He is Legend is a relatively unknown band, who I consider to be one of the bands involved in the rise on metalcore alongside As I Lay Dying and Killswitch Engage. They sound very different to the modern over-produced generic metalcore bands, and their dirty, raw, southern feel gives them a unique sound, not to mention their music videos being hilarious. Techniques/Tips: – Quite easy overall, uses a lot of conventional techniques such as power chords and chucking. – Be comfortable doing pinch harmonics on the lower D string, as it is repeated a lot through the verse breakdown. – Lots of quick octaves, keep right hand lose and unused strings muted with middle finger.Gear: Guitar: Ibanez RGT42DXFM – Neck pickup: Dimarzio EVO DP158 – Bridge pickup: Seymour Duncan Dimebag Darrell Strings: Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky Tuning: Drop D (DADGBE) Effects: POD X3 – Lead patch: 2001 Diamond Plate Video: Canon Legria HFR16 Audio Editing: Audacity Video Editing: Sony Vegas Pro 9 Tabs: Version 2 seems pretty much perfect on ultimate-guitar.com
