Photograph - Def Leppard cover

[Gibsonnroses]

Best cover of this i have ever seen!, check out my videos, i will upload alot of def leppard covers too, i subscribed to you!

[MajesticMega]

AWESOME!

Any chance you can do a tutorial on how to do the intro riff?

[MisterMontage85]

well done, Phil.

[gunznrozes69]

did u tune down for this video?

[trailbikerharo]

missin one thing dude.. def leppard shirt. now that'd be cool.

[missashley8]

awesome! :)

[purpletiger18]

Pretty close, but as a tip, the chords beginning with "oh ho, look at what you've done to this rockin roll clown" are: C, C/B, D, A,G,A. You are missing that "C/B" chord which is played like a regular C chord but with a B root note, leaving the rest the same. Other than that, looks spot on.

[covingtonjoe]

OMG finally a guitarist that does not make your ears melt listening to him. very well done. if you don't know what i am talking about just take a second and listen to the morons trying to cover pour some sugar on me. just make sure you turn the sound down or it will hurt.

[1999svtcobra]

You are awesome!!! I could see you up there playing with the Leppard boys! keep the videos coming!

[vatapa10]

gracias!!! me hiciste emocionar...

[shoopa25]

dude tht Jackson sounds so bad ass. Keep rockin bro

[sayingXsorry91]

You are an outstanding guitarist. Your sound is amazing and I am in awe. Also you couldn't have picked a more amazing band to cover, Def Leppard is hands down my favorite band. Keep it up I enjoy listening =)

[lh536]

Hammer!!!

[beginningOfCreationR]

your a god man!!!!!!

[Makivoi]

dude...would you by chance have tabs?? the tabs i have are in standard tuning

[chrisfoster4]

ok yeah...deffinatlly no where close to VAI lol i didnt know what i was saying back then. lol excuse me! :)

[chrisfoster4]

ok maybe not steve vai, but slash is just a shedder, and thats amounts to nothing except fast fingers. And viv campbell isnt good, at all in my personal opinion!

[alextylerrr]

Holy fuck, you're the greatest.

[rochefortmark]

uuummm...

THAT

WAS

AWESOME!!!

[fucia11]

its wierd because live Phil never retunes and he doesnt switch guitars with this song... do you know if they play it a half step down live... thats what it looked like

[liljimi321]

whats the action? i want more sustain on my fender strat. are there any other ways like raising action?

[thunderingrick]

wow !!!!!! congratulations !!!! what a great playing

[YourSelfDefenseShop]

YES!!

[superfan77]

Nice Phil would be proud

[ThatGroupOfKids]

Wondeful,may i ask where the fingers are placed in the intro

? just wondering because i was doing it in chords but it doesnt sound as well as you and its a little different

[Altex666]

@ThatGroupOfKids index finger on the 8th fret middle and ring finger on 9th fret, on the 9th fret you overlap your finger position on the second stroke you lift your ring finger! your next move is index finger on the D string on the 8th fret and your ring finger on the 9 fret then bar the 8th fret, it's real easy..good luck

[deflep4evr]

You deserve more views

[deflep4evr]

Your a freakin amazing guitar player!

[deflep4evr]

Your a freakin amazing guitar player! Keep on rockin!

[mxbykr99]

how the hell did you tune down a 1\4 step???? Im confused now hahaha

[TheJerryludlow]

I've been a Leppard fan for over twenty years and I've never heard a better cover. Such a good tone; spot on playing.

[preston6671]

should have turned the camera so could see

[fabionovasouza]

Great man

[gotgiants]

hey steve, I was able to locate a lefty red rum pc1...wow!!! what an awsome guitar... the sustainer/harmonizer is amazing... thanks for the incredible videos....def leppard was/is an great band....my request would be for you to do a cover of switch 625...love that song....thanks...

[guitarist6787]

how much do they cost m8

[gotgiants2000]

Hey Steve, big fan of your def leppard covers. love your jackson pc-1. im left-handed and have been unable to locate one. have you seen one around?? thanks. When's your next cover coming out? thanks.

[chrisfoster4]

U are one of the most amazing guitar players i have evr seen!! no joke...if u say this guy sucks, u must be on CRACK!!! hes better than Slash (he sucks) Vivian campbell and Steve Vai combined!!

[Speates]

How did you learn to play this?!? Where did you find it?!? I would love to know!! By the way, nice job!!!

[SnavenPoo]

I think it's really Phil. I really do. this "Steve04050" character never shows his face...or does he?

Phil, you've been discovered. Now come hang out with me, I have a couple guitars.

[FKrgrNMES3]

This guy plays so good that I almost want to send him money!

[zachOSX]

your solos are fantastic

[05221956js]

I hate you!! You are bad!!! I'm so frickin' jealous of your skills.

[vanhalenrox78]

Dude I love your Tone. What are you running just out of curiosity

[STEVE04050]

ART SGX, straight out

[vanhalenrox78]

Dude lol I just had to look your amp up. Ive never heard of them before. Nice tone. What does one of those run?

[vulcanguitar]

the best cover of this song.. good job man!

[mtlnascarfan]

I'm telling you man...

Should ANYTHING happen to Phil Collen (god forbid) I'm giving Def Leppard your YouTube address!

You could fill in for him EASY!

[darakii]

What amp and effects pedals are you using?

Great vid

[kdenn71]

Great cover!! Love the solos!!

[JERRYR708]

[thebrewerspone888]

i did u get tthe singer into a lower tune?

[jerryludlow]

That's what zeff used to sound like in the earlier days.  They were serious contenders back then in NWOBHM, following bands like Maiden, Sabbath...

[thebrewerspone888]

ya, but how did he get it intoa lower tune

[rdeco73]

prob turned the bpm down between 2 or 4

[darakii]

what pedals/amp are you using?

[bobosharkey]

I love the new life the people who post covers breathe into the old songs. Keep it up!

[atanimation]

you kick ass, buddy!

[playit00]

WOW!! Sounds like I'm back in 83' listening to the original!!! Hey Steve, What happened to the tutorial for this tune? Could you do another one please!!! I cant get the solo darnit!!!

This is really really good! Great authentic sound, and chording! Good job and "anti-improviser without video evidence of own talent guy" can STFU!

[DavisBluesBoy]

Great video, great song. I can't wait to see Def Leppard on Sept 3 in Sacramento.

[OnTaRiOkId123]

[ronnol14]

"Def Leppard", just making a correction on how to spell it

[pischh]

Where have you bought this guitare? I like it (l), You are awesone 5*

[rickallenthundergd]

@ ImprovisorsSuck...u do realize everyone hates u right and ur only making a bigger fool of yourself whenever u comment...so stop bullshitting on steve and start listening to his kickass playing

[buckeyeman61]

Nice cover!!! Wish the camera angle was pretty straight on. though.

[carling476]

[rollinjukebox]

Dude, I see a kick ass top shelf guitar and pretty good player but to see that Peavey behind you kind of dissapointed me.

[defleppfan4ever]

Hes not pretty good... HES EXCELLENT

[bestestguitarplayer]

[WORMNY77]

you have better tabs then me man I bought the book but yours sound better. it sounds fuller

[rollinjukebox]

Because he's probably not using a book. He looks good enough to be able to figure it out himself without a crutch.

[coeurvaillan2470]

Good work! Is it the real tabs? Thanks.

[coeurvaillan2470]

Very good sound. What's the setting (ampl, pedal...)? Thanks

[ice9001]

Great playing man and even better sound how did you get it what did you use and what setting is on the chorus tis rocks mate great job .

[stangposse]

Dude....you rule! Thats the best I've heard.

You could have easily beat out Vivian Cambpell!

[n0cturnalsurfer]

fuck yeah man, this rocks!!

[XxblackxmaidenxX]

[defleppfan4ever]

[roosterrocks]

[guitardudejosh19]

From a fellow guitarist, that is a great cover, bro!

[Ayumiscar]

[Che4pB4s74rd]

never get tired of listenin to this man

[joseclarkos]

[seagul35]

This is my all time favourite song, and im learning to play it, just wish i could play as good as you! Top stuff mate keep it up

[guitargalmoo7293]

really good

tabb????

thx

=]

[MateosGR]

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wessyweezy09]

shoot, improvising or not this cover is like the best thing ever forreal. i do have one request steve, i know you did a how to on the solo, but im havin trouble with the little solo at the end. i was wondering if you could help me out some how since your like the only one in the worlld besides phil who can do it flawless. lol cant wait to hear some more covers dude. and i seen the drum covers, lol you just do it all. great job!

[George656]

I did not hear any mistakes at all either. Don't listen to ImprovisorsSuck. He thinks that improvising kills the song when in fact it actually makes the song fresh and exciting rather than always playing the same solo exactly like the way it was written. Most guitarists improvise to keep their solo interesting during live performances. It does not mean that they can plsy the solo exacty the way they played it on the album. It just means that they want to add something new to their solos.

[STEVE04050]

I agree one hundo percent, but I didn't improvise this solo, I play it the same every time. Certain solos, like Rock Rock til you Drop I did, only because I'm not as familiar with it. All in all, he couldn't do it any better.

[Erkengelxx]

I agree as well. It does make things feel fresh when they're played, it's better than doing the same exact thing every single time amirite?

[George656]

Awesome video man. This is one of my favourite songs. How much do you practice a day?

[AxeGrindinLefty]

this frickin rocked! awesome job! killer job!!!!!!

[musicandbeasts]

Steve. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with the rest of us. I can't believe anyone would post a critical comment re your playing skills on any of your vids. Your interpretation of these DL songs are fantastic. Keep up the great work and thanks again for these vids. A more straight on camera angle would help me learn from you if you don't mind as I'm a beginner who could only hope to perform these hits near as well as you do. You are an awesome guitarist!!!

[topwaterrocks]

great solo 2 thumbs up

[Starbuckfsd]

You are fucking SICK! I didn't hear ONE mistake! I just may have to tackle this song. I always thought it would be too hard but now seeing you and how it's done....time to hunt the tabs!

[OnTaRiOkId123]

ur a dickhead... improvisorssuck your pathetic man i bet you made that username just to post on this video... and if not you made it to but other people down why dont you fuk off and get a life buddy.

[Bigschwang]

This guy got skills!

[Che4pB4s74rd]

now this is ure best 1 stevo this is fkin outstandin well done

[guitardudejosh19]

sounds great, man.
