Cowboys from Hell Solo Cover

[mrnegronis]

are you endorsed by those companies? I ask because I was wondering why you would thank them if you had to pay full freight. especially considering how expensive mcnaught's guitars are. nice playing btw. nice guitar.

[rzr77]

@mrnegronis Thanks for the comment, Man. I am absolutely NOT endorsed. I just love the guitars so much, that I thank them for having built them for me. I'm just a superfan geek when it comes to McNaught guitars.

[LycanthropicArt]

What a sexy guitar! I've only recently started hearing about McNaught guitars. How would you rate it? Thanks.

[caseyjones67]

ive never heard of splawn amps before

[mrcombichrist4life]

what guitar is that

[domusicman]

greaaaaat and sick!!!! i need to learn how to play it, have you got any tabs?! Craaaaazy playing!

[deathknowz1]

You. Are. A. God.

[BlubbCover]

man nice cover :D fuck my fingers are too short for this solo xD

[EpicSnakebites]

Are you related to dimebag in any way ? Haha .

[rzr77]

@EpicSnakebites Only in my love of music, my Friend!

[metalfiend124]

Great playing, sound and guitar. What do you think of the Mcnaught? I've been thinking of getting one, and it's nice to hear one in a metal context. I have 2 Jackson soloist neck thrus, but I've really been interested in getting a Mcnaught for metal, hard rock, blues, classical, jazz. Is it the best guitar you own and what do you think of it for metal? Did you have to change the pickups? Can you do some alan holdsworth or Randy Rhoads vidoes for us? I'll check all your videos out now.

[666blacksunday]

aweoms man nice guitar

[ibanezleoz161]

wow epic man

[HellionWildChild]

awesome job dude! nice solo!

R.I.P dime

[mulholland1985]

u are damn talented man...great playing..best cover i saw so far..keep the gud work up mate.

[JACKWRIGHTISBORED]

on the 11,12,15 riff, you pick the first 3 then hammer on the rest for each string. other wise fair good go mate

[superdanlewis]

although the timing was off at places, it was notewise perfect, so 5*

[AlexiFunny]

good keep it up

R.I.P. DIME

[NotronSkillz]

dude you have a MONSTER of a pinky! (in a good way) Great cover!

[signinname41]

It's pretty cool to see this solo performed with superior gear than it was originally recorded with.

[Guitar9117896]

Sediment man

are u picking every note during 0:8. 0:13 or are u using legato

get back 2 me

[rzr77]

I'm picking every note. Dime would pick the first 4 notes and hammer the last two, but it's easier for me to pick them all, so that's why I did it that way.

[vanquisher21312]

the way is the the 1st fast part the 11, 12,15

is like

E. 11 12 15 11h12h15

I liek the way that 1 sounds wut r is ur opinion?

also wut are good amp settigns for this song

i got spider 3, 75 watt

[liquidice64]

Nice

[in2blc]

very good

[imlucas599]

freaking amazing technique and clean. you can pick out every note, 5/5.

[flipsk8r1409]

only one legato section in this solo and you played it as legato the rest is all alternate picking good cover 5*

[ZeHetfield]

awesome man ;)

[lossmf]

you are awesome dude i sub u

[brendannelson4pm]

dude those harmonics were excellent

[Niamorg1007]

that harmonic at 0:08 made my ears bleed! and i like it

5/5 once again

[ArtificialFlavaFTB2]

Where's the CORRECT tabs for this?

[dude24122]

man im learning it right now... but im using guitar pro... ur best bet haha

[ArtificialFlavaFTB2]

K =D

[JoKeRzCaRdProDucTion]

honestly this solo isnt THAT hard to play, but its hard to play clean, i mean ive got all the notes i just cant do those wierd 20 fret to 15 fret licks cleanly

[crusha540]

Its just difficult to do the first part that goes from 11 -> 12 -> 15 on all the strings. If you have good dexterity, then this solo isn't as difficult as it seems.

[chiknzrule99]

the rhythm's kinda weird though. i got all the notes down put performing them like dime is another story.

[ZomgWtfOmg123]

This is it...

[DeadlyDonut360]

good job

[Chitarrometro]

great cover

[killingbill83]

HELLO MR.DIMEBAG!! O.O  you are amazing!is the best cover on youtube

[rzr77]

You're too kind, Bro.  Thanks.

[SuzukiRyder21911]

good but the parts that r suppose to be hammered u speed pick it

[rzr77]

Yeah, I know. I played it that way because it's more natural for me, and I like the way it sounds.

[moviemaker3000]

Who cares if he did that, he kicks ass!!

[gospels]

YEAHAH!!

[rzr77]

Cool, Man. Thanks!

[thefattcat]

F N Hell Yea Dude!

[rzr77]

:-)

[RAGETOMMORRELO]

veryy nicee dudE!!

[rzr77]

Thumbs up, Man!

[madezecke]

he didnt do it "pure" alternate picked, it was economy picking

[StevetheAppleGuy]

Wow, this is amazing. I've been working on this solo, but i have trouble at some parts. Check out my cover of the domination solo if you get a chance :)

[chrisplummer]

The only one I've ever seen pick that 11-12-15 run, and it was flawless.

[moviemaker3000]

Wow insane...

[battery956]

i like it, but i think the 11-12-15 all the way up the board isnt picked but fuck yeah man!

[rzr77]

True. The first 4 of the sextuplets is picked, and the last two notes are hammered. But I play it that way because it's more comfortable for me. I appreciate the comment!

[maestropul]

wtf

[brokenlightbulb8]

Man...you have the best covers on youtube of everything swear to god...watching you playing all these solos makes me want to play...you are going to be the reason i ever become good...not that i am bad right now...you get what i mean

[rzr77]

That's one of the nicest comments I've read. Thanks a million, Man.

[brokenlightbulb8]

no prob man...but seriously....why arent you famous...Your dean shredder entry was a monster. i was actually mad when you didnt win because yours sounded different and it even looked fun to play... there was a part in there too that i kind of thought sounded like the flying bees which was also the best cover ive seen... God darn, you can play anything....i was also wondering if you new were there are correct tabs for this and the jordan solo cover you did. Your an inspiration man, nice guitar to

[rzr77]

Man, you're pretty cool in my book! ;-)

Thanks so very much. I am honored like you wouldn't believe, Bro. But hey, I'm not looking to get famous doing any of this. I play this stuff to challenge myself and more so because I absolutely love the music. The stuff I put on here isn't all I listen to by any means, but it's the stuff that's both difficult for me to play and that really moves me.

And thanks a ton for the comment on my Dean entry. I'm glad you saw how fun it is to play. Peace!

[Guitar1hero23]

dude best on utube. man you are amazing.

[rzr77]

Thanks a million, Bro. But I've got a LONG way to go. I discovered Allan Holdsworth recently. . .needless to say guitar is a lifelong journey.

[jleclai1]

now that is a badass combination of gear my friend.

[rzr77]

Thank you, Sir!

[fadImandu]

hey man that was good

i am trying to play the solo ,,it is not very hard but the streching in :15 to : 19 is killing me!!!!

is it cuz i have short fingers or what?? :P

anyways i guess i am gona tap it haha

keep it up

[blurpy123]

1 word skill

[rzr77]

Thanks, Bud!

[CaptainCrunch243]

how much did that guitar cost?

[rzr77]

Less than many high-end U.S.A. production guitars!

[felipescalador]

hi man amazing guitar, a set-thru neck & wcr iron mans how many that cost to you?

[rzr77]

Thanks. This one actually has the Darkbursts. Let's put it this way, it cost less than most high-quality USA production guitars. ;-)

[homppeliboy]

Nice. Thats look's like so easy when you play it!

[rzr77]

I appreciate it. It's not really easy! I just practiced the hell out of it!

[metalhelmet]

ai homppeliboy vai?

[rzr77]

Huh??? Sorry, Man, I didn't understand you there!

[DudeWhereismacar]

hey dude your not suppose to tremolo pick on the beginning part of the solo man

[metalhelmet]

eh, I didn't say that to you

[XGuitarist]

Great Job, I watch this every day. Amazing.

[rzr77]

That means a lot, Man. Thanks so much.

[trend2kill]

check out my walk solo

[trend2kill]

man u got alot of different guitars

[rzr77]

Yeah, I'm a bit of a guitaraholic. :-P

The McNaughts are the best, though. I don't play anything else anymore.

[EVHisGODD93]

You inspired me to learn this solo! Your awesome, hopefully I'll be as good as you someday, I'm just gettin screwed on the part at 26 seconds where it goes, 12 14 15, then 12 on the next string really fast, when i do have it down ill post a video up and you can critisize me! lol, Rock On!

[rzr77]

I'm honored, Man.  I look forward to your video. . .please send it to me when it's done!

[deanguitars90]

damn ive seen lots of cowboys from hell covers but this is one of the best.

[rzr77]

I appreciate it. Pantera's great, and this is one of Dime's most memorable solos.

[jmustred]

Man... Dime would be proud.

Are you playing through a nitro or qr?

[rzr77]

Thanks! And it's a Quick Rod!!!

[jmustred]

Damn... I really want a QR now!

I know its voiced as a JCM on steroids, but can it do the rhythm sections of Cowboys from hell and Pantera in general?

How about Zakk Wylde, Tool, Deftones?

I'm curious because these guys use/used JCM's and quickrod's seem like the way to go if you want a high gain 800 sound

[MrGosh2]

youre fucking good

[sk8rdude777]

that was pretty great

[conor8878]

nice cover man!

[masteroz666]

man!!! r u rich or something???

[rzr77]

No, I'm not.

[Sweeper5]

Splawn!  McNaught! Man, you like that cheap stuff, don't ya! ;-) You rock dude, and you probably have the best equipment on the planet! *Sweeper5 drools...*

[rzr77]

Haha, thanks, Sweeper.

I gotta tell you, I love the McNaught and Splawn, especially together! It's like peanut butter and chocolate or peanut butter and jelly, Man!

[KielanGuitar]

Dude this this fucking rocks, you pretty much pulled it all off. Your immense.

Period

[adam12343210]

fucking amazing

[Ozcuuu]

awesome :) how do you do that slide and at which thread do u stop sliding? sounds awesome, im trying to learn that, but I am a bit too slow, only been playing for 1,5 months tho :)

5/5

[Homofob07]

if you have played for 1.5 months you can just keep dreaming you can do this solo, when you played a year you may be close.

[Ozcuuu]

3½ months now and I can do it lol

[Homofob07]

not as good as this

[devilspitcher]

i would love to see it cause i cant do it at almost nine months

[Ozcuuu]

tried recording but the file is 1 gigabyte (wtf?), will try again when I get a Dean guitar :)

[LPK000LPK]

i culd barely play icky thump in 3 1/2 months im at 11 months and i just learned to play it

[sefmm]

[mustang71517]

[megamadethica]

[rzr77]

And thanks, by the way!

[megamadethica]

[arturosaloma]

[rzr77]

[rzr77]

I've got the JJ KT77's, and I love them!

[arturosaloma]

what tubes are in your amp

[jaybuhay]

great playin! Love the tone from your Splawn amp! BTW what were your amp settings? Did you use gear 3?

[rzr77]

Hey jaybuhay, thanks for the comment! Yes, I did use third gear. I'll look up the settings (I wrote them down somewhere) and let you know.

[marquesjunior]

One more great solo of Dime!

Great playing! I like Pantera's sound a lot!

[InVaZi0n]

Love the tone from that guitar!!

[shogeal]

Way to shine!!!

[shogeal]

Wow, outstanding!!! Loved your performance!

[shogeal]

What can I say...outstanding!!! (Viewer from Rison)

[planeshift]

Great job, man, you nailed it. And the new amp sounds awesome. How's the McNaught compare to your other guitars?

[rzr77]

It is, hands down, the best guitar I've ever touched seen or laid hands on.
