So, over 60% of the voters on both Youtube and Instagram voted for "NO, don't do beginner covers". I appreciate all the comments I received on this, that was very helpful! Sometimes I'll have some good ideas, sometimes I have mediocre/bad ideas and this was one of them it seems. HOWEVER, I will do something else instead!
I recently finished covering the entire Facelift album which was one of my goals for this year.
Here are some more goals that I want to reach somewhat soon:
-MORE weekly covers!
-Still Life - Opeth (1 left)
-When the Kite Strings Pops - Acid Bath
-Pale Communion - Opeth (1 left)
-Not an album in particular, but way more System of a Down as I love their music and I like playing/covering SOAD.

My channel lacks beginner songs so I ask you: should I do beginner versions of songs I've already covered? For example, an easier version of Schism without the brutal outro and some of the overwhelming ghost notes so that beginners can work their way up to the full version. Should I do this or not?

I spent 3 evenings reading back all 18,000+ comments whilst adding every single request to a spreadsheet. These 4 are the most requested (uncovered) songs, and I will definitely cover all of them. I'm just curious which one of these gets the most votes. The winning song gets a spot in August!

I want to do one more classic Opeth song in December and you're going to decide which song it will be!
Yes, I know. Opeth released 2 new songs and I haven't covered them. I probably will at some point.

Hey everyone! I won’t be responsive for the next 2 weeks as I will be having my first proper vacation since 2017. I have scheduled the upcoming videos so there’s nothing to worry about :)

New release! This time I play bass, guitar and I sing in "This Sea", a collaboration between a very special person and myself. It's a really soft song so don't expect any sort of metal/rock like you often find on this channel. And hey, maybe you'll like it :)

New covers every Thursday and Sunday! This channel mainly focuses on Rock, Metal, Grunge, and any sort of Alternative music genre.
Also the owner of K-pop/pop bass tab channel "RED BASS".
BASSES :
-Warwick GPS Corvette 5A Ash
-ESP LTD B-105
-Fender Squier VM Precision bass
-Ibanez GSR205BWNF Walnut flat 5 strings.
-Ibanez SRF705-BBF (Fretless)
Everything you see is playback; it's not a live recording. I want to be as efficient as possible, so while I can actually play all the songs I'm covering, I can confirm that the video and audio are from two separate recordings. This allows me to cover way more songs in a month and gives me more time to figure out all the little details in every song. I NEVER use a tab from the internet, I will never lazily copy and paste riffs without checking for fills/variations, and I will never rush a transcription.
