Carl: This Is a Guitar Mix! Not exactly a cover haha! :P Infected is one of my fav Psytrance or Electronic acts out there,if not my favourite!! you should check some material of them,specially the last 4 Albums!
if ya used their tune as a back--its a cover.
I did check them out though... being a big fan of electronic music i wondered why i'd not heard them ... still bored me...even more than Ozric Tentacles
BUT
i'm 44 years old and grew up listening to Electronic musics (and selling CDs of My electronic music), so our 'takes' on the genre are quite simply out of sync with each other .. but thats what makes the world go 'round aint it? i mean hell i drooled over the last Brian Eno but Tipper, Rove, etc do nothing for me, Cluster, Budd, etc etc move me but not those Mushroom folks.
so take that as opinion not as snark..i'm sure we could argue like crazed wolves about delta blues (i dont like Robert Johnson , for example) ... in the end its STILL subjective and still opinion.
and yes. when you use someone else's tune to play over its a cover, lol, and there is nothing wrong with folks playing covers, it just aint MY style dig? (but, for instance) the other guitarist in my touring band was in in a cover-band for 30+ years, LOL, i give him a LOT of guff about that but in the end i look at him as a great player, nothing more or less(other than the friendship)
SO
when i say things as have been said in this thread regarding the video i am only trying to give you->
(you=)a nice guy i've shared a few PMs w/ and have a lot of faith in his(your) growing skills etc-etc
I'm giving you my unfiltered, unabashed, HONEST opinion. I would ask the same of you were i to post these vids.
I did compliment you on the video editing and 'strat licks' etc etc (above)
I meant what i said about you having a future in A/V production (should you wish to put the time in and explore it)
what i cannot do n this forum or anywhere else is 'glad-hand' every damn thing i see and hear.
just keeping it real bro thats all
RAWK!
