YouTube channel created

I joined YouTube on Feb 13, 2006, under my own name. This was not TabCore yet: that name came in January 2024. No covers yet.

Moment

First guitar cover

The first real guitar cover upload.

Moment

Potato cam cover era

Between 2009 and 2012 I uploaded a bunch of early covers, filmed with gear that had absolutely no business being called cinematic.

Moment

Back to regular uploads

In 2013 I became more active again and started uploading more regularly.

Moment

First vocal scream cover

The channel expanded beyond guitar covers. From here on, vocal and scream covers started showing up alongside guitar uploads.

Moment

Last cover before hiatus

On Sept 3, 2015, I uploaded what would be my last cover for a long time. After this, the channel went quiet.

Moment

YouTube hiatus

A long break from uploading covers. The channel was still there, but the regular cover era was on pause.

Moment

First CKY cover

My first CKY cover on the channel. No tabs yet, but the CKY direction had officially started.

Cover

Shock and Terror

The second CKY cover soon after. Still no tabs, but clearly part of the road toward what became TabCore.

Cover

Another quiet stretch

After those first CKY covers, I disappeared from YouTube again for a bit before the next proper upload phase started.

Moment

First Nikon Z6 plus Ninja V cover

The first cover shot with the Nikon Z6 and Ninja V setup. The image quality jumped, the color grade still had some catching up to do.

Moment

Occasional cover uploads return

From this point on, covers started appearing again here and there, slowly leading toward the modern TabCore format.

Moment

Flesh Into Gear

The first CKY cover with tabs. This is where the modern TabCore format really begins.

A new name: TabCore

After years under my own name, I renamed the YouTube channel TabCore.

Moment

TabCore goes online

tabcorecovers.com launched, with memberships following around two weeks later. TabCore gradually grew beyond the covers: memberships became a way to give something back to the people supporting the project. In-depth lessons on the songs I cover followed, along with series like Unraveling the Riffs.
