Metallica - Nothing Else Matters - Solo

[MrRhosko22]

I love rich kids.... I mean, he plays great but, its not a hard solo at all. Im not here to criticize, i got no videos myself, I got no camera. but if you cant MASTER taht solo what has an artic white les paul gold trim... come on

[supersnacke1990]

wow 

[OmgNano]

NIIIIIICE :)



[RenBowKun]

Nice playing but where's the feeling?

[Slashisthebest8]

How can u NOT like this song????!!! Please answer??

[BLACKDOGCAT1]

@Slashisthebest8 everyone who dislike doesn't play guitar ^^ thats all

[JSSO1995]

@Slashisthebest8 love the song, but the playing feels slightly off...

[rafadgm94]

argh, you just ruined NEM >.<

[yusukeupiano]

Seriously, you don't like the song? Why really cover it? Nothing Else Matters is one of the best songs in the world. And the solo is so emotional!

[cdemort]

Why learn and play a song/solo you don't even like? Well played anyway. Oh reminds me I must go learn that new Britney song cos I really HATE IT!

[xBenjaxGuitar]

It was good but please, tune you'r guitar

[kyden1000]

uh man thats my dream guitar. nice playing

[mustaine10]

this is good but i will make you a question: if you do not like this song .. why you play it?(sory for my bad english i'm argentinian)

[L4stCaress]

@mustaine10 The solo's simple and sounds good with little effort. The song is tolerable, but wayyy too cheesy. And never apologise for your English ;) Even I got the message from it :)

[mustaine10]

@L4stCaress haha ok. i realy liked your cover and your guitar!! see my covers!

[Pirjodie]

you play good but you should take to look to kobibas version.

[und3rtak3r43v3r]

lmao!

[agentennn]

Can you raise a video since this part touch??

[AcousticAmateur]

beautiful..:)

[LukzHenrike]

horrible

[kevintheonly96]

verry well played man :D

[Rotzer87]

Vintage Les Paul???

[L4stCaress]

@Rotzer87 Nope it's a Gibson, though you can hardly see it. But it is.

[Rotzer87]

@L4stCaress it looks like my vintage... ;)

[zWhu5tiFFIE]

@L4stCaress nicceee, llooks like the epiphone to me though

Considering ive got one lmao

[L4stCaress]

@zWhu5tiFFIE No bindings, so it's not. :)

[zWhu5tiFFIE]

@L4stCaress My epiphone hasn't got any bindings

I do believe you that you got a gibson but tbh, it's practically the same as the epiphone but with a different name :P

[L4stCaress]

@zWhu5tiFFIE People stick to the name on the headstock WAY too much. If I tested an Epiphone and it would turn out to be better than my Gibson - hell yeah I'd sell the Gibson and get the Epi. Moar gear for me :). But I like overall feeling on the Gibsons, e.g. the laquer they use in the Epiphones differ from the one used in the Gibsons. Also the pick-ups are better (but can be changed anyway) and I expect that the woods are better, too. Still, both are good.

And cool vids, I'm into gaming too!

[zWhu5tiFFIE]

@L4stCaress Yeah I suppose your right in a way

But I was saying that the only difference is really the brand, Mine sounds fairly similar tbh

And your a great guitarist, I'd thought Id add that lol

[L4stCaress]

@zWhu5tiFFIE The amp thingy I was using makes pretty much every guitar sound like the same (Line 6 POD), but with a real amp the differences are a bit more noticeable. However, I probably wouldn't notice the difference between Epi and Gibson if they had the same pickups, played through the POD.

And thanks, I've improved a lot but haven't made any videos for a long time, I'm such a lazy bastard :) If I only had the money and the time, I would get real recording equipment and make more vids.

[zWhu5tiFFIE]

@L4stCaress Lol you are still good

I wish I could record problem is that im cheap and I don't even practise enough

[zWhu5tiFFIE]

@L4stCaress But Yeah If i could afford a gibson, I'd definitely go for it, I'm pretty cheap haha

my epi was £250 and the schecter im getting for christmas is £350 so I am limited on cash as you can see

And yeah Gaming, I used to love it but I'm growing out of it :S

[L4stCaress]

@zWhu5tiFFIE To be honest, if you're playing on a gig, no one would give two shits about the name on the headstock :) I have a Korean made Explorer (kind of like the '84 "Hetfield" Gibson Explorer) and it's good. Not as good as my Gibson but still, very solid guitar. I guess it's the mojo that comes with the American/anything else than far east made instrument. It's cool to have good guitars, but they won't make you a better player :)

[mycrimsonregrets]

@L4stCaress yea, i agree on that one. i think that once you get up into decent quality gear, epiphone vs gibson or any other manufacturers up there, its very slight differences and mojo.

[L4stCaress]

@Rotzer87 Go see some other vids of mine, sure you'll notice it. 

[Rotzer87]

@L4stCaress yeah it´s a gibson... :P now i´ve seen it... :D

[Revenge8701]

Lol how can you not like this song? Anyways good job

[almightykings360]

dude awesome solo !!! hey what gear r u using ? damn i have to buy that guitar

[primalsandwitch]

Your tone comes from your fingers.I was told this 10 or so years ago.I thought it was bs but it turns out that how you phrase your solos and your pick angle and position over the pickup is key and vital to your tone.Kirk cold take the setup you have and it will sound almost exactly how it sounds on the recording.Great job however.I hope my perspective will help you.

[L4stCaress]

@primalsandwitch I agree. However, it was clearly too compressed and had way too much gain, therefore making such changes useless. But yeah, I totally agree. No matter how good equipment you have, all that matters is what and how you play, as in phrasing and basically all that's related to fingers.

[Zukanoff]

@primalsandwitch Of course if he did that James might wonder why Kirk was playing his solo. ;)

[Shrieken213]

Try adding some mood+tone to the solo with vibrato.

Also you're missing some notes.

Overall, good job.

[FrostBite741]

my friend has tha guitar in his collection same color everything

[o1wonderboy]

You miss some tones.

but the cover is okay.

[valenn03]

NICE MAN! YOU ROCK! :D

[alexandros03101994]

nice les paul, nice playing but i don´t like the tone..it would be better if you used effects (chorus or reverb)

[L4stCaress]

The tone sucks - I agree. That's the reason why I sold that piece of shit. But I have to disagree with you on the effects. I don't like chorus that much (even on clean setting), and phaser/flanger works over distortion in rare occasions - but if it works, it sounds nice. But the tone is way too harsh and it has waaayyy too much distortion in it. That's why it sucks.

[Devolution4Life]

I hope you didnt sell the les paul because its tone was shit through your pod? Its gonna be shit because its a small digital POS

[L4stCaress]

Nope. Instead, I bought Hughes & Kettner Edition Tube with awesome clean tones. Everyone says that this and that has good clean tones. Yet, most of them do not have good clean tone, people don't pay attention to it. This does have, and I love it. And despite the name it has a lot of gain on the dirty channel, a lot of which I don't even need.

Didn't sell the Les Paul, although I think the pups are just a lil bit too hot. And you are very true, it was shit when playing through the POD.

[djavocard]

@L4stCaress

Bastard, it's not the tone, you can't play sucker!! Don't blame the tool you m.fcker!

[Larssieyo]

nice, but what did you think. good guitar, good amp. and I hear even a good player. so, it's fantastic

[MrPalet]

I can say only one thing---> good job dude

[whyamihereyo]

That sounds great dude I dont know whats wrong with it the hammer ons sounded good and it was nice and smooth good job.

[kevblue18]

Hetfield plays this on the neck pickup. That's why it has that really smooth sound on the record. Sounded good bro, you missed a few hammer ons and pull offs but other than that it sounded great.

[L4stCaress]

True. I played it on the neck pick up as well, but it was still too harsh sound. But thanks.

[Stoplightcity]

I may be wrong, but the pick-up selector switch appears to be in the middle position. That would be both the neck and bridge pick-ups. Right?

[L4stCaress]

I really did play it on the neck pick up. I just do the video and the audio separately to get it as good as possible and as you can see, I just quickly switched the pick up and didn't notice that the toggle was in the middle. But it's true that in the middle position both pups are on.

[cherry8605]

the tone on your fade to black video sounded better. the notes are a tad harsh here. try rolling off the tone knob some and see if it helps

[L4stCaress]

Agree. This video was made 4 months ago (Fade To Black one was made couple of weeks ago), I've changed my setup a bit since then as you noticed.

[HardyBoyz99]

the sound is the same as metallica

[L4stCaress]

If you say so.. I think it sounds just too plastic, the harsh high and a bit muddy low freqs aren't too good. But if you ment the sound as it sounded correct, then I'll agree with you.

[HardyBoyz99]

i dont know why you dont think its doesnt sound like it try listening to the studio version ans then your solo and youll see

[L4stCaress]

So you ment the sound; Pocket POD, not the way I played it. Well, it sounds pretty good..

[gibsonsg127]

do you have thev vyzec  pocket pod software

[L4stCaress]

No, for some reason it doesn't work on my computer, though I would use it if possible.

[firstitgivith]

needs more feeling

[L4stCaress]

True..

[Marw93]

What sound had u on the pocket pod?

[L4stCaress]

I used the 'INSANE #4' modelling w/ Line6 INSANE amp, the heaviest sound I can get from this piece of crap.

[doge132]

rock on

[L4stCaress]

Thanks!
