Unfortunately once again Youtube has blocked the video in France thinking it’s the original master. I’ll try to get it unblocked!
Je m’excuse auprès de mes téléspectateurs français, Youtube a bloqué la vidéo.
I had to come back to Flying Whales eventually! There’s a few differences from my original cover that I picked up from various live performances of Gojira so this should now be pretty accurate. Most of the time both guitars are playing the same thing but there is the occasional harmony in 3rds.
There’s a few small details which are up for debate as how they play it live is very slightly different to the album version, for example the gallop section sounds and looks like single notes on live performances but sounds like 4ths/inverted power chords on the album version.
Of course I had to add some whale sounds for the intro too
Need 8 hours of whale sounds?
Huge shoutout to @DreaddyMills for providing the killer drums! Check out his channel for more drum videos and keep an eye out for the guitar bass a drum video I’ll be putting out soon!
Bass tabs and a guitar/bass/drum video will be up soon too.
