Another Day Dreamtheater cover by Joachim Gassmann (Full Guitar Coverversion)
All guitar tracks were re-recorded by me on a backing track from Dreamtheater. I used the Fractal FM3 for the guitar sound. I chose a mesa boogie jp-2c as the amp.

Alle Gitarren sind mit dem Fractal FM3 eingespielt auf einen Backing Track. Als AVerstärker habe ich den Mesa Boogie JP-2C im FM3 eingestellt gewählt.

Here is the backing track:

Hi,
This is my cover of one of my favorite Dream Theater songs. John Petrucci is such a a big inspiration to me and i really like Dream Theater, so i needed to cover this song. Also, this is my first video with my Mesa Boogie Mark V 25 - perfect amp and the best one i have ever used. For the rhythm i used crunch channel and for the lead i used lead channel - Mark IV mode. Settings are at the beginning of the video.

I would like to thank my girlfriend Lola for listening me practicing and playing this song over and over again :) I would also like to thank my best-man Pigo and my very good friend (and Pigo's wife:)) Tamara for helping me shooting the video in this beautiful place :)

Hope you'll enjoy it :)
