BABYMETAL - SETLIST FORTH (guitar cover)
As a passionate guitarist and BABYMETAL fan, I find covering their songs especially thrilling due to their demanding technical riffs and energetic compositions. Using high-quality instruments such as ESP and IBANEZ guitars is essential to capture the authentic tone and sustain that the band is known for. I personally recommend experimenting with similar gear to achieve that sharp, metal sound unique to BABYMETAL’s music. When attempting to learn SETLIST FORTH, focus on precision in palm muting and alternate picking to master the fast-paced sections. Takayoshi Ohmura’s influence is evident in many guitarists inspired by BABYMETAL, as his melodic solos and aggressive rhythm parts bring a distinctive flair. Watching covers like this helps immensely in understanding the phrasing and dynamics required. Additionally, practicing along with the original track or backing tracks improves timing and allows for a deeper connection with the song structure. Recording your own version can also highlight areas that need refinement. Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, immersing yourself in BABYMETAL’s complex arrangements opens up new challenges and rewards in your guitar journey.
