[qwertpain]

Try Wyborowa vodka :) greetings from Poland :)

[trainman102]

top stuff as usual dave. mate what are you using to get those notes to hang like that>

[ebealienhead]

@trainman102 Thanks very much! Some delay, and my own finger vibrato....

[cerrhus]

Again incredible video ...and playing of course..i;m thinking of buying this Fender reissue ...can you tell me your opinion if the made in mexico would be a good buy

or should i go to the made in USA...thanks

Danny

[ebealienhead]

@cerrhus I never played the MIM but I hear they are nice and quite a bit less money. I love my USA though.

[cerrhus]

@ebealienhead .... hey thanks.. my choice went for a Fender American Std Strat.. yep... Made in USA and i love it

Cheers !

[ebealienhead]

@cerrhus Congrats! Play it well my friend!

[lesleypaul59]

unbelieveable sound, dave, you got davids style !!! greetings from germany !!! LES

[ebealienhead]

@lesleypaul59 Thanks for watching ! Glad you liked it!

[mtkk77]

sounds awesome, what settings do you use on 2120.

[ebealienhead]

@mtkk77 thanks very much! That was preset number 69 (west coast solo) and the echo thing I remember what it was...

Check out my entry in the Ernie Ball Music man Challenge!

Dave

[dlrdanny]

This really sounds great Dave, how and the heck do you get such great sustain? Great echo sound also!

Danny -- dlrdanny

[ebealienhead]

@dlrdanny thanks Danny! i just crank it up! i love the echo part too..i could listen to that kind of stuff for days!

[shartne]

Nice, I really enjoyed it. pink is so moody sounding but in very cool way. the strat is cool too.

[ebealienhead]

@shartne Thanks very much! I used the strat on my newest clip (with new Dimarzio Paul Gilbert Injector pickups)...check it out!

[shartne]

@shartne you got that strait sustaining well also. must be those pick ups.

[bigfelix223]

you sir, have effectively turned the style of one of the worlds greatest guitarists and made it your own in the most perfect way possible. the amount of emotion i saw you play with is the same as i saw with gilmour himself and i also enjoyed how you seamlessly blended in several floyd songs into one solo. i hope to one day be as good a guitarist as you. keep up the good work and keep on rockin man!

[ebealienhead]

@bigfelix223 Thanks very much! I appreciate it!

[KEMTEN]

Ok this is the 100th time watching this... I love that strat, I LOVE the clean tone! What effects are you running? Like delay and a little phaser or flange? I literally want your exact setup haha you really have so idea how jelouse I am of your tone..

Thanks again for this epic post!

[ebealienhead]

@KEMTEN Thanks for watching (again) :)

yes, some delay, reverb, some chorus...Check out my newest clip. I replaced these stock pickups for

Dimarzio Paul Gilbert Injectors (neck and bridge) and a Dimarzio Area 67 in the middle I LOVE them!

[KEMTEN]

Man you are amazing! please do tell what backing track you are using! :)

ROCK ON!

[ebealienhead]

@KEMTEN Thanks very much! It's some Floyd thing I found on a website. Freshbt.com or guitarbt.com

[thedcmule]

What pickups do you think are better, if these are weak? Thanks, and beautiful playing as always.

[ebealienhead]

@thedcmule Thanks very much! I'm thinking about the ones Paul Gilbert uses in his Ibanez Fireman...made by Dimarzio....they sound pretty hot!

[mytranslife]

IM IN LOVE WITH YOU NOW . YOU CAN JUST DO THAT ALL NITE SO PLEASE DOOOO!

[ebealienhead]

@mytranslife Love you too babe! I'll do it all night long!

[mytranslife]

@ebealienhead a big huge wet grupie kiss right at you

i feel all faint ;)

[trainman102]

Daveworthy as allways. nice work mate.

[ebealienhead]

@trainman102 Thanks very much! Glad you liked it.

check out my new Halloween clip, NIB by Sabbath!

[hdwenner]

so super geil das sich alle Haare aufstellen.Ein Musiker mit Gefühl.HAMMER !!!

[ebealienhead]

@hdwenner Thank you..

[Stevespeeze]

I seriously went out and bought a black strat yesterday lol.;

Is there anything special other than the bridge pick up done to daves guitar ?

[ebealienhead]

@Stevespeeze thanks very much! Actually this guitar is all stock...I have not changed a thing...

[Stevespeeze]

HOLY SHIT !

Sorry man thats all that came to mind lol...



[ebealienhead]

@Stevespeeze Don't apologize, lol....thanks for your honesty!

[jaw22601]

Would love to see you use the "marooned" style backing track. That was undeniably awesome

[ebealienhead]

@jaw22601 thanks much!, I'll see if it's available..

[willemkerpel1]

those freaky alien intros!

[ebealienhead]

@willemkerpel1 They are a part of me, lol...

[KimAvlastenok]

Damn that was good! You have made one of the most enjoyable guitarsolos on youtube. At least in my opinion. What band are you in? I would love to hear it.

[ebealienhead]

@KimAvlastenok Thanks very much! Not in a band right now..Just a basement guitarist having some fun!

[ThePlatinumrecords]

Are all of your tones coming from the 2120 or do you use anything else??

[ebealienhead]

@ThePlatinumrecords Hi...just the 2120...great piece of equipment!

[MatiBtodo14]

hey I dont know if to buy this guitar or the john mayer signature can you give me your opinion on the matter? I play everything srv, mayer, hendrix, David gilmour, John frusciante, radiohead etc. is this a versatile enough guitar?

[ebealienhead]

@MatiBtodo14 I love this guitar...I never played a John Mayer Sig. but personlly I think

Signature models are just over priced versions of stuff they already make...You are paying to have his name on it..just my opinion...

[MatiBtodo14]

@ebealienhead ok thanks , that helps

[Rozq87]

damn impressive, shine on!

[ebealienhead]

@Rozq87 thanks very much !

[ceskajee]

what you think Mesa Boogie 20/20 with Digitech 2120 is too loud for living room?

[ebealienhead]

Hi ceskajee! not too loud at all..you can play at any volume with it and still maintain killer tones...

[ceskajee]

thanks for an answer, and awesome guitar art!!!! i start my day with this!!

[ebealienhead]

Thanks again! Thats nice to hear!

[shredmaster100]

this guy rules ive only just found this on you tube but hes easily one of the most passionate guitarists on you tube and a flawless player

[ebealienhead]

thanks very much shredmaster100 !

I'm very flattered. I'm just a basement player who loves the sound of electric guitars. YT is a great creative outlet for me since i'm not in a band these days.

please watch and enjoy my next clip in a couple of weeks...its some of my most emotional playing I believe. thanks again!

[kostiszeppelin]

i will not play guitar for a month after this perfect my friend amazing feel hail from greece

[ebealienhead]

thanks so much kostiszeppelin !

[Killinfloor]

How are you creating these volume swells in the beginning? I don't see you using the volume control at all... Please tell me.

[ebealienhead]

hi Killinfloor ! i'm using the expression pedal (the foot controller for the Digitech 2120 processor)..its basically a volume pedal....thats it!

[DSalois1]

Damn great tone, great feel, great vid!

[ebealienhead]

thanks so much DSalois1 !

[2ndDayRiffs]

Wow that thing has sustain for days. Gilmour is by far my favorite guitar player. He plays with his soul, something shredders will never understand.

[ebealienhead]

thanks so much 2ndDayRiffs ! i agree totally...speed has it place but with no emotion or soul it all for not..

[trout5076]

i think i deciphered that as you saying speed doesn't carry emotion, i'm actually gonna i disagree w/ that just a bit, because i have seen guitarists you speed to display strong emotion, but thanks for posting your pieces are inspiring, as well as your '71 les paul lol

[ebealienhead]

Hi trout5076 ! no no, i agree with you...i meant speed "with no emotion is all for not"...speed can have plenty of emotion. i sight Steve Vai...incredibly fast and full of emotion...the same with John Petrucci...very emotional and tasteful with tons of speed. just wanted to clarify :)

[coldironhands1]

i can't even hear, when i think aloud

[ebealienhead]

thank you coldironhands1 !

[hotrod9983]

I cant get over how good that sounds...If I could get my rig to sound like that,I would never leave my basement lol

[remokicks22]

hi dave, jamie here i was jst wondering have you got any tips on keeping a fender in tune cause if i use the whammy bar a little it nocks out of tune any idea how to fix this problem if you could help it would be awsome kl vid by the way floyd rule

[ebealienhead]

thanks very much Jamie! my strat is new (American Vintage 70's series) i have not anything to it...actually it stays in tune ok as long as i dont dive bomb it....i use it for sutle accents and its fine...its my first strat so i'm not really sure what pointers to give you :(

check out the v-trem system...its a replacement bridge that locks down similar to a floyd....i hear they are GREAT

[XvXJesusXvX]

B-E-A-UUUTIFUL

[ebealienhead]

thank you XvXJesusXvX !

[hotrod9983]

that was amazing....

[ebealienhead]

thanks so much hotrod9983 !

[gilbertgodlyddd]

Talk about sustain!

This rules, reminds of the Gdansk DVD :P

[ebealienhead]

thank you gilbertgodlyddd ! yes, this guitars tone for days....i got a good one i think....

[NightScripture]

Great tune!!!!!!! I love it : )

[ebealienhead]

thanks very much NightScripture ! i appreciate it!

[diazcamille]

what pedals and amp are you using? you just about made me bleed from my ears dude. that was friggin incredible.

[ebealienhead]

thank you diazcamille ! it was Digitech 2120 processor...some delay, chorus and some reverb...glad you liked it!

[LaneKelley94]

dude awesome job i loved it!!!

[ebealienhead]

thank so much LaneKelley94 ! i appreciate it!

[Jaypeef]

I gotta start drinking glenfiddich before I practice. Apparently that is the key to awesomeness.

Thanks Dave, made my day.

[fabb91]

start with cocaine too

[ebealienhead]

been there, done that (years ago)..the road to nowhere... :)

[ebealienhead]

thank you Jaypeef ! it was just a nite out with friends that ended with me plugging in when i got home, lol..glad you liked it!

[SeeYouFoolsInHell]

wow, thats amazing!

[ebealienhead]

thank you SeeYouFoolsInHell ! glad you liked it!

[mynuko]

really awesome

5*

do you use the original backing track of shinning on you crazy diamond ?

thanks!

[ebealienhead]

thanks very much mynuko ! i'm not sure if its the original track but very close...

[mynuko]

Ok thanks ! ;-)

I'm trying to find some backing track close to that one on the internet ;-)

I love it the way you do it!

Thanks again !

and never stop making us enjoy your feelings!

[ebealienhead]

thanks again mynuko! if you'd like to have this backing send me a PM with your e-mail address and i will send it to you...

[mynuko]

Hello, i've sent you an email :)

Many thanks !

[n3osamura1]

If I may ask cause I'd really like to know. What effect did you use at the very beginning of the song. I've heard this effect several times and I must know what it is.

Is it a volume pedal with delay, or some kind of synth effect? Thanks.

[ebealienhead]

Hi n3osamura1 ! yes, exactly...its a delay with slow decay, then the volume pedal...

give it some volume and back off and let the note repeat....very cool effect....glad you liked it!

[jmgully12]

i want all 3 of those guitars rlly bad...o and nice playing xD

[ebealienhead]

thank you jmgully12 ! they are gorgeous aren't they :)

[OzzyGuy666]

[ebealienhead]

[serge933]

Ah man this is the second video I see of yours and its just incredible! You are exterelmly talanted.

I want to play so badly now but its 5am and everyones asleep xD

[ebealienhead]

[ebealienhead]

thanks very much Taylor! i love this new strat...its sounds amaziong to me...on my way to check your vids!

[firefighter5278]

Eight minutes of putting your soul in a guitar and leaving us listening to it,seeing it,touching it.This is why when fellow guitar players ask me who my favorite guitarist is,I tell them a name they've never heard before...

[ebealienhead]

Thanks so much man! i appreciate it very much...i love making these clips and watching them grow..

[petrochemicals4u]

Give us some Division Bell champ!!!

[ebealienhead]

[hairy0pothead]

I also think it's awesome that you reply to everyone's comments, that's damn cool.

[Ronvergys]

Wow thats 10 times better than my version. Its a fun beat to play around with though. Been playing for about 5 years.Check it out if you like, its the only video I have posted. Again, good job my friend.

[ebealienhead]

[ebealienhead]

thanks indeed diazcamille ! well, i'm playing to a backing track i found, but yes, this is my own jam...they are the stock pickups for the American 70's series strat..

[geraldhdez]

[ebealienhead]

thanks much geraldhdez ! i never thought i'd like a strat this much....it rocks

[pestilence]

I don´t know what happen because i don´t receive the youtube message that inform a new video. What a hell of a song Dave, so great and smoth. I think record companies have to watch you because you have great potencial my friend. Thank you so much for another great song/video.

[ebealienhead]

thanks very much pestilence! working on a new clip already...

[HaloCrysis]

I'm thinking of either buying a Les Paul Custom, Les Paul Black Beauty 3, Or Les Paul Standard, but I know for a fact I am going to buy a Les Paul.

[ebealienhead]

You won't regret it! lemme know which one you get? thanks!

[ellovy]

this is a man that really can make the guitar speak... ...good job man...!

[ebealienhead]

thanks very much ellovy !

[1ifuckedyourmother]

What kind of pedals and effects do you use?

What stack combo?

And good god, your absolutely amazing.

How many guitars do you have? what kinds?

And how long have you been playing?

Sorry bout all the questions but your undoubtedly one of the best guitarists I've seen.

[TheDacy]

I agree, good questions, I'd like to know what kinds of effects he's using, too ;)

[ebealienhead]

see my clip called 'daves tour of area 52'

it shows everything...

[ebealienhead]

thanks so much 1ifuckedyourmother ! well to start with my amp is a Digitech 2120 guitar processor, powered by a 50 watt Mesa Boogie stereo power amp, through 2 Marshall 4x12's stereo...the effects are built in...i use some delay, a little chorus, and a smooth distortion. i have about 12 guitars...3 les pauls, a new strat, a jackson soloist, 2 doublenecks, a flying V, 2 danelectos...an SG...watch my clip called 'daves tour of area of 52'....it explains most of it...playing about 30 years i guess.

[HaloCrysis]

Yes sir, all 22!

How long have you been playing? And what does it take to play as well as someone like you? Also, I wondered how often you play every day (or every other day).

And thank you for taking the time to talk with me!

[ebealienhead]

Hi HaloCrysis ! i've been playing about 30 years i guess...it takes love of the instrument, music, practice...honestly i dont play all that much...after a clip is posted i dont pick up the guitar for a week or so...then i start looking for a new backing track to muck around with...i noddle around and record the new clip..and so on.....

[ebealienhead]

cool man! i'll look into it! thanks~

[ebealienhead]

thank you whitestrattommy ! will do !

[BodyMindPower]

I have to stop by and hear you playing. This is absolutely fantastic.

Thanks Dave

Hugs

Anke

[ebealienhead]

thank you Anke! you're a sweetheart!

[seebraham]

I like how you put so much feeling into your music. It's not just churning out notes. Great stuff here and your other videos.

[ebealienhead]

thanks very much seebraham ! glad yo ulike them...i make them for people who enjoy them!

[PaperFlyPlanes]

nothing but smiles for me agin. I love watching you play. i hope I'm that good one day. But thank you, your inspiring to say the least!

[ebealienhead]

Thank you Christa! thats so nice to hear! its flattering to know i inspire...more clips coming!

[jamesbryansparks]

dave..i do have a 2120, and you wont believe what this thing can do..type in digitech 2120 patches, and click on alexplorer. download the RPEdit software, and it will let you see the configuration for a hundred different settings on the 2120...this processor is really amazing..you wont belive what it can do...james

[ebealienhead]

James! thanks so much...did you mean do a google type search and then download from a website that has it? or download it to the unit itself?

[HaloCrysis]

After watching you play in the Pink Floyd "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" video, I was absolutely stunned at how amazing you are at what you do. I took the time then to watch every one of your videos which took a long time because I played the good majority of them more than three times and each one only got better and better. I wish to some day play the guitar like you when I grow up, I'm 16 now, and hope that if you have the time some day to talk, I would really enjoy asking you some questions.

[ebealienhead]

thanks very much HaloCrysis ! you watched them all? i'm flattered! that must have taken some time..all it takes is some practice time...if you have any questions feel free to send me mail on here...i'll answer any questions you have.

[chas2599]

you are pure magician.Fantastic playing

[ebealienhead]

thanks indeed chas2599 ! glad you enjoyed it!
