[SuperSherbo]

[BlackLabelForLife]

Yay you did a very good job and finally someone did the second solo

[TheKABE09]

Wow! Man!

You f*cking Rock,,, if you challenge to Tremonti you'll won!

I'm Sure,,! Sorry for my Bad English

[fastnfurious87x]

That was amazing! Your really good!

[HookzyBLUESNO1]

Fucking excellent!

The best rendition of this solo I've seen. Amazing.

[VinnieG690]

Fantastic job mate.

[27Seth27]

só achei que distorção ta meio estranha.

mas ta bom sim xDD

[jonezell]

really good, you're a half step up from what they play the solo in, it but you transposed it perfectly - I'm guessing you learned this by ear. very solid.

[KyogresWrath]

did you use tabs? or not?

if you did can you link me to them? i've been trying to get this solo forever

[MidwayThroughHell]

Wow!

[TheLespaulsforlife]

this is a awsome job matey! just ignore the idiots who listen to it to nit-pick! its a great cover! keep up the work!

[FINCHster]

i seriously love your guitar... wish ibanez still made them. good playing btw dude

[stratblk1]

Sounds really great!! It's the best cover of this nice solo so far I've ever seen on You tube. Keep it up.

[HOMICIDEZM4]

Good job! that was sweet

[ThePlague89]

AWESOME!!!

[thenewbikers]

good job man!

[gitarrenvogel]

4/5 for your playing - 5/5 for the most bored face, while playing guitar ... ever! ;)

[Mutantbunnies]

you're horribly out of time, i dont think you hit a single correct note and you're an embarrasment to anybody who plays guitar....

...is what i'd say if i was lying

you are fucking EPIC!! nicely done man :)

[josspretty]

get over yourself

[generockify]

@Mutantbunnies you're no diffrent to justin beiber fans out there

...... is wad ill say if i was lying!

XD

[ReasonofHaste]

yeah man, mark would be proud

[brownbeaverboy10]

dude best cover on here!

[chrisso485]

what's up man. i think you're rendition of this solo is the best i've seen so far. congrats. i'm not big on nit-picking like most fuckheads on this thing. "you're bends were off" "you're tuning was flat" etc. etc. they probably can't even play guitar to begin with. good job, man. keep it up.

[aytch4687]

@chrisso485 You my friend are a genuine fan of music! Which is the way it should be! Thanks a lot for the comment buddy!! I'm working on the first record with my band so haven't been all that active on making more of these videos but will get back to it sometime soon!!!

[tcastro68]

amazing!!! u should learn white knukles because u can play man!!! post more

[paulyboy911]

Blackbird is a much harder song to play than White Knuckles

[patfix]

@paulyboy911

You are correct sir!

[xehanort21]

is it standard tuning? great job btw ^^

[Issens]

Eb :) Half stepdown =)

[xehanort21]

@Issens thx ^^

[TDBmusic1]

But, technically it'd still be a standard tuning. So, therefore xehanort21 is correct.

[sabuomarrr1]

sure that you didn't do that? thought what you did was stupid and you're blaming it on me?

[lizisbearycute]

Awesomeness!

[pawanwwefan]

Well done!

[samblobloves]

:o I love this song, it's such an emotive solo. and lovely hair also :) like mine :D

[sabuomarrr1]

sucks

[kooooooosas]

muy vergas haslo tuu!! :@

[lizisbearycute]

@sabuomarrr1 You must've been looking in the mirror when you wrote that comment.

[Llib4e]

beautiful solo

=)

[DLOMBA]

You sound great! I have this guitar also. Do you have problems with the neck dipping down when playing? How do you prevent that?

[lvr4ever]

u waked up from bed ,, and u started playing immediatly ,,, ^^ I love that , and god job :)

[aytch4687]

Hehe..sorta!!

Thanks!!!

[theonlykickasskid]

@lvr4ever

the word is woke! he WOKE up from bed, you illiterate fool! jesus fucking christ! waked up....how old are you 6? my 3 year old neice has more linguistic skill than you, "waked" isn't a word!!!! you utter utter stupid dick!

[taddy666333]

is this the ibanez AJD91VLS?

[jhosery]

dud ... do you have a foto of the zoom gfx 4? the sound is good

[uglyguitarman]

I have the same guitar. I love it. It's awesome.

[AlterBridge1706]

much good!!

[xxmetalingusxx]

epic performance...5/5

[FrancisTheGook]

So you say this guitar is really versatile? It's 150 dollars over my price range, but if it's that good then I may get it. The other guitars I was looking at was the Epiphone Dot and the Ibanez AS73. Something that can play smooth warm jazz but then do some metallica and other hardcore stuff

[aytch4687]

It's quite versatile and the most comfortable neck/fretboard I've played. It's got an insane finish - you could look at it for hours and hours hehe. It's got a great warm sound and works great for Jazz and really heavy stuff - I play in a prog/death metal band and it's my main axe! I also use it for all my solo recordings (We are currently in the studio, I'll post things as they become ready!)

[FrancisTheGook]

Thanks man I'll check out my Guitar Center and see if they have it and try it out

[MetallicBlack86]

looks abit like the Ibanez SZR eh?....only that this one's with the hollow body

[kingsaulthetenth]

awesome!!!very close to perfect. awesome tone, also very very close to tremontis. is that marty friedmans guitar?

[paulyboy911]

The first 22 seconds are amazing...after that there are a few sour notes and it lost a little bit of feeling. but over all this was really

[gibsonabcd]

all good up to the end. its 32 notes all picked instead of hammer ons and pull offs

[aytch4687]

Hehe ur English is just fine my friend. To be honest with you I don't think of it as a jazz, blues, or metal guitar, this guitar feels great and it's got 22 frets so I'll use those to the maximum =D.

It's a beautiful guitar and i'm always inspired playing it...it's got the best fingerboard I've ever used

[aytch4687]

This is a great guitar man, it's got the jazz tone on cleans as it is a semi hollow but it's pretty damn heavy too!!

I use it on my progressive band's works, Benevolent, we are working on our album right now.

[DVpk47]

just to echo twisted1986 if u could would you please e-mail me the tabs for these solos, i love this song and tremonti is my biggest guitar inspiration

[aytch4687]

Hey man

Problem is I'm really not all that good with using tabs and all that, I learnt this half off a tab and the other half by ear I think...I don't quite remember right now hehe

[twisted1986]

do u have the tabs for these solos. if u do, that wud be great, dude. thanx. great plating by the way

[zai8izzuddin]

hey..how much does this guitar cost.??

[Issens]

awesome! i just learned Myles solo, but Mark's solo is HARD xD

[Bradbssargdons]

great job!

[GGGEC101]

that was awesome! xD

you have great taste, alter bridge are number 1 woooo!!!!!

where did you learn because all the alter bridge tabs ive found have been soo wrong, i have the one day remains book so they are all right but i cant find blackbird tabs no matter where i look :(

[TheMeloncholyOfKahn]

omfg that is some sweet playing!! great job!

[ILLRICARDO]

are you using the built in pre-sets...or is this a custom preset???

[aytch4687]

Hey man

Custom presets.

[Guitarherochamp123]

Whats the name on your guitar?

[guzmansoriano]

nice playing dude how much did the ibanez cost and overall what do think of that guitar

[aytch4687]

Hey man

Thanks buddy

I got it as a graduation gift so I am not quite sure how much it cost but I think it's a beautiful guitar, looks very inspiring and plays very very smoothly and sounds AMAZING!!! very warm tones come out of this thing and it plays very heavy music.

Plus it is ultra light, there's not much weight on it!

I have been very busy so I wasn't able to put together a review video but I will sometime in the near future once I get time!

[guzmansoriano]

thats cool i think i'm gonna get one i need a guitar that can go from a smooth tone to an aggressive sound

[IanKusekSoloArtist]

What grade did u grad. from?? im gonna b in highschool next year, w/ the exception of summer school (bummer)... but that guitar cost about 400-550-low 600's.... so not ma, i may get either an artcore, this one, or a JEM. I love Ibanez guitars, esspecialy the Ibanez SAGE acoustic steel string dreadnought..

[liamjaeger]

great playing man. as others have posted, i would also love to see a review video about the ajd, looking into that guitar lately. more of a clean funk/blues/jam band player myself.

[aytch4687]

Thanks man!

I will try and put a video of that sort together in the near future! I am extremely busy right now =(

Thanks a lot for your interest!

[audio454]

Great Job. I was hopeing to find additional info on the Ibanez AJD and found your video. I see a prior post asked for your opinion about the AJD. I've been thinking about another guitar and nows the time to buy. I like the AJD and the Ibanez AG95. Both cost the same. Any thought would be GREAT ! Cheers

[aytch4687]

Thanks!!

Honestly I haven't tried the Ibanez AG95 but I can tell you AJD is just incredible, plays heavy and soft! The stock pickups are great too!!

It has a very comfortable bridge system. It took me a little while to get used to it because I was used to floyd rose but I played around with the action on the AJD to get the closest feel to my previous guitar and I can play both very comfortably. I personally would buy another AJD (Possibly with the whammy) for different tunings, pickups, etc.

[atomicslug86]

Stunning. One day...

[MeyerFilms]

Damn...that's the best attempt I've seen at that solo.

[aytch4687]

Hey man, clicked on the "Poor Comment" button on your comment by mistake, any idea how I can fix that? hehe

Thanks for the comment!

[MeyerFilms]

You could just click the "good comment" button tomorrow.

No problem, though.

[zile20584]

OK!You could show all the features,but I want to her clean mod rather then a dist mode,because I play funk/blues...Tnx in advance!:-)

[zile20584]

Hello!Please could you put the preview video for that Ibanez AJD guitar,on YouTube.I thinking of buying that guitar,and every experience,and opinion will be useful to me.

Tnx in advance!

[aytch4687]

Hey man! I think you should go for it!! So you want me to make a video showing all the features, pros and cons, and possibilities in this guitar??

I am out of town now but will be back home in a couple of days - I can try and put something together over the weekend! What about the guitar do you care most for so I can cover that?

Thank you for the comment!

[zile20584]

Thank you man!I appreciate that!:-)

[XxDariax]

cute and talented!

Loving your feel here

This song is so fucking epic!! Alter Bridge rule =D

[aytch4687]

Hehe Thank you!!!

Alter Bridge all the way!!!!

[discoinferno1892]

if mark hasnt seen this, he should, because hed be pleased that someone could nail such an awesome song :) its my favorite from them and should be played on the radio more often!! >:O

[aytch4687]

Thank you so much!!!

Blackbird has my favorite solo on the album, it's an epic piece through and through!

We don't have much rock airplay out here where I am but got it all on my iPod so that solves the problem!

Thanks again for your comment!

[jonjack17]

Dude, this is just awesome, its practically indistinguishable from the real thing! Great job, you should give Mark Tremonti a call and show him haha

[aytch4687]

Haha..very nice of you to say man appreciate it!! =D

[doobieman24]

you're and insane guitarist man! nice job!

[aytch4687]

Thanks buddy, appreciate it!

[wildfirelettuce]

Great job!

[OOFERDOOFER]

Sorry I meant 'Brand new start' not day DOH!

[aytch4687]

You know what I love that track, I'm going to give that a try over the next while!

Thanks again for the comments buddy!!!

[phgab18]

awesome, dude.

[OOFERDOOFER]

Good job man...its a nice solo.......have you tried 'brand new day'?....thats a very satisfying song to play too.

[aytch4687]

Not really man. I haven't heard the track yet, I did't delve into "One Day Remains" as much as "Blackbird". If the song hits me hard I may attempt the solo.

Thank you for commenting!

- Hadi

[keegancooke]

you obviously have the same taste in guitr style as me. im just a year into guitar but really catching onto tremontis stuff, especially after i got his dvd. anyways very good

[ein3738]

how is that ibanez AJD??

is it good for jazz

[aytch4687]

It's a great guitar, you could definitely put it into jazz use but that all comes down to the amp and cab that you're using.

[ein3738]

thanks, well, im thinking that im gonna get a roland 60 or the wait for the new roland 80x.

have you had any problems with it.

like feedback?

[aytch4687]

I used the Roland 60 on gigs before and I suffered from no feedback issues when using the sounds within the amp itself, get a footswitch with it that would make ur life easy. But when you plug a pedal into it it might have feedback depending ur settings (I used a pedal processor with it once but the feedback wasn't hard to deal with).

My suggestion? POD X3, it's the best out there for everything. You can plug straight into the mixer with an XLR cable and use the cabs on the POD.

[ein3738]

thanks man.

[ein3738]

do you mean the X3 or X3 live

[aytch4687]

X3 Live

[aele]

man this was so fucking great the best one on youtube

[MysteriousWonders]

amazing

[dalidada]

thanks a lot

im useing guitar rig (its a computer amp)

[dalidada]

ur welcome (ofcurse i rate 5 :)

and realy thank you for working for tabbing

[RandyOrtonRK0]

great job man could u sent me the coards for this solo please? thanks

[aytch4687]

Thanks buddy!! I would love to man but I tabbed it by ear and I'm really caught up with school stuff now but I will try my best to tab it out soon!

Thanks for the comments and ratings everyone!

[Eklarion]

I just got GFX4 can you send some patches for ZOOM??

[aytch4687]

Hey man sorry I've been swamped, I'm not home now but I will be around later, what kind of sounds are you looking for?

[Eklarion]

I got many complains from bass player, he is in my band and he don't like my distortion, cause it's metal distortion, and i really tried to make simple distorion for simple rock style and he is never satisfied...that's whole story! I need something like slash dist from guns and roses or richie blackmores dist!!! thnx, btw you play nice...

[aytch4687]

Ahh..I feel you man..tell you what, I'll create a distortion that sounds like what you are looking for and I'll send you the specs very soon!!

What amp are you using??

[Eklarion]

I don't have amp home, i have one in studio where i practise with band...it's called CRATE!!!

[iamnbr14ever]

damn. thats all i got to say, aha.

[bmax89]

Awesome, this is a fuckin' great job! 5 stars!

[aytch4687]

Thanks man! Yea I agree, a few bits here and there came out a tad bit sloppy. A few bits were changed in Mark's solo part(Mostly in the pentatonic lick).

Well hey! May be I'll do another take sometime!

Thanks for the comments!

[unccharris]

probably the best ive seen someone else do myles' solo... seems few others do the bends or the vibrato or the other subtle stuff right, but you basically nailed it.

mark's solo was good too, but it was a bit sloppier. its a harder solo though (i didn't even try it)!

[XXXHardStephXXX]

Greattttttttttt !!!! very very niceee !!!5/5

[FeetInTheWater]

Great job!

[aytch4687]

Thanks!

[kalabuwarda]

awesome!!!

[AlterMonte]

Great job, man! Keep on rocking!
