My cover of "Embryo"

[Josef_K]

Man... there are LOTS of covers of this great song out there on youtube. 100% were guitar covers. Not anymore!

I kind of liked my version, but I'm a bit out of time on some notes ^^. I slowed it down to 83 BPM (from 90), but I still think it sounds a bit too fast for the delay-drenched atmospheric keyboard sound I use... Anyway, I think it's a cool song to play, it sounds really good on keyboards as well if you ask me.

Lead & intro: Moog Synthesizer
Bass chords: Rhodes Piano
High-pitched "Echoes" rip-off sounding keyboard: Clavinet

Sounds pretty cool man, I did my own version a year or two ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGARF8GK-mc
I like the use of keyboards in yours.

Thanks for listening, glad you liked it! Listening to your version right now, how come you start with the beginning of "Orchid"? Was it a mistake or did you intend it that way? :D Anyway, your playing is great, have you done any other Sabbath instrumentals? The whole of "Orchid" maybe?

Very cool, Enjoyed both Embryo covers! I liked the way you re-invented and made it your own Josef, and the note for note perfection of your version Snow!! Cheers guys.

I put the Orchid in the beginning on purpose. I should really learn how to play that entirely....

Hehe :D this is why I eventually bought one instead of some other synth that seemed more price-worth on paper. A Moog is not only a synth, it is a Moog damnit! It cannot be underestimated ^^ Glad you liked my cover, I promise songs to come in the first half of 2012 from my band with more Moog in it, probably a Moog solo for example and some Moog bass and effects etc. That is, if things work out with the new singer we have :D

Hi, sorry for not replying to you earlier, I forgot ^^. I listened to your cover, you are good for being only a beginner man, and frankly the song is harder on guitar since you have to play two notes at the same time, on the keyboards I layered three tracks instead, only playing one note at a time on the moog (duh... it's a monophonic synth ^^). Anyway, the strength in my cover lies in the soundscape and tweaking of the effects, not in the technical skill. To play the song on guitar, you need more technical practice, I wish you good luck in further developing your guitar playing, hope you learn more of Tony Iommi's instrumentals, they are great and fun to play, but hard at times ^^
