i feel like this is something I need to get off my chest. Guitar covers on youtube are fucking terrible. Every single person who makes one plays the original song way too loud and I can't hear their version of it. I know how the original song sounds, I want to hear how it sounds when you play it. Here is an example of what I consider a good guitar cover. It's too bad this channel doesn't make videos anymore.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

I feel ya. Though, here is one that definitely doesn't suck, at least.

Here's one that definitely doesn't suck

This video is great. My main gripe is that all these people play along with the original track and play it WAYYY too loud. I know it's stupid, it just pisses me off.

I think RichaadEB a LittleVMills do a pretty good job covering songs and have great guitar work.

 

[Loke]

I prefer when people cover the entire song not just playing an instrument over the original song. It just sounds muddled.

This guy covered Meshuggah's album Chaosphere in its entirety. It's amazing.

Keytar covers are where it's at.

 

[Husky]

99.9% of all YouTube covers suck. But here's one of the goodies, also for guitar.

And that 1% is occupied by Tina S. Here she is nailing Jason Beckers' 'Altitudes'

She's 17 when she records this. Simply incredible.

 

[Blade2.0]

but not this one!

 

[TUROK]

I dunno about that, metal songs tend to have some pretty great covers.

Long fan of hers. She's awesome.
