Devil #39;s Island - Architects - Guitar Cover!
A friend of mine asked me to make a cover of this Architects song so here it is! Done in two days! It #39;s more like a playalong as I think some of the riffs are not exactly as the record. I play it on my 7 strings Mayones Setius but it #39;s originally played on a 6 strings. I play over the original track, I EQed it a bit to give my guitar a bit more room. Enjoy!From:FearOfDeadwingViews:6 2ratingsTime:04:07More inMusic
