The Crusade - Trivium guitar cover | All parts | Gibson Flying V 7 String & Dean MKH ML

Thanks for stopping by. Cheers for 10K subs. To celebrate we are tackling this monster of a track. Its no wonder they never perform it. All the sections are tricky and a bit out of the norm by Trivium standards.
The chuggy part with the changing chords has a mad stretchy chord that has taken me literally years to get the hang of. Same with the tapping section, its a bit flashy for my tastes but that took a long time to prepare... then I realised there's a freaking harmony layer in there. I love Paolo's cool lead bass sections so I absolutely had to add those in.

My only main gripe with playing this song is the clean section is physically impossible for me to play (personally) Matt has his index barring the 2nd fret across the strings and I can’t seem to manage it so the alternative was to use my index finger to the change root notes.

I used the Moises AI app to remove the original guitar tracks so all the guitars you hear here are all my own
