"The Lying Lies & Dirty Secrets of Miss Erica Court" from Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness

Track 10 of "Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness". A simple song to play on bass, as the focus is all on the vocal melodies. However, the interplay between bass and drums is pretty awesome, as usual for Josh and Mic.

"Mother May I" from Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness

This is track 11 from the album "Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness"
The song is actually in 4/4 throughout, even though it sounds like the time turns around a couple of times during the verses. It's a very neat trick that Josh Eppard pulls off with the drum beat.

Thanks for checking this out, let me know if there's a Coheed song you'd like me to do next!

"The Final Cut" from Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness

I'm sure you know the full title of this one is "The Willing Well IV: The Final Cut" from Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness. It is not a very complicated song, it just has 3 chords Em - C - D, but it is fun to play since it's a comfortable tempo in 6/8 time.

I couldn't help myself trying to sing along the harmonies while I was playing it, but if it bothers you you can pan the audio to the right and you won't hear my crappy singing anymore.

Check out the tab for this here.

Thanks for watching and please let me know what you would like to hear next.

"Apollo I: The Writing Writer" from Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness

Track 6 of the album and a big favorite of mine. As usual Mic Todd does a fantastic job of making the parts slightly different and keeping it very interesting in the process. I'm not much of a slapper but I gave it my best :)

"Crossing the Frame" from Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness

I had a fun time learning this song, Mic Todd plays a very melodic and funky bass line throughout. There is a lot of movement in the bass during the verses and pre-choruses, and then it all goes down to basics for the choruses, allowing the vocal melody to stand out more at that point. Another really cool track. You can find a pdf of the bass tab here.

Please let me know what song should I do next!

"Eraser" from The Color Before The Sun

This is the second song from the album The Color Before The Sun.

As is typical of Coheed songs this one is trickier than it seems. There are a lot of time signature changes, which makes the choruses in particular quite fun to play. Zach Cooper does a great job of varying all the fills so that there is nothing being repeated here.
