Don't Stop Believin' (Journey Guitar Cover)

[jeffcasey1957]

what year is yours it looks exactly like my 69 custom!!!

[tpd1982]

@jeffcasey1957 It's not a 69, I know that much! Picked it up new in London about six years ago, not sure how long it had been in the store.

[rbeloruski]

Nice LP!

[TheBombo777]

God... Lame, embarrassing. Putting yourself on You-tube playing some cheese-shit from the early 80s. And adding your own relative-minor crap all over the place... Dude.....

[nascarnbafan]

what effects nd amp do u use???

[tpd1982]

@nascarnbafan On this recording I just plugged into my (now deceased) Line 6 Pod V2.0, probably on Rectified or Modern Hi-Gain with a ton of chorus and delay. My real-life amp is an Engl Powerball II, which I run with a Tube Screamer, Boss Super Chorus and Jim Dunlop Wah.

[TheEternallifeskater]

dude you make that guitar your bitch in the good way:)

[MrJwstyles1]

[MrJwstyles1]

[BURTONBOY619]

[pianoman1015]

Jon

[dubac111]

you should turn up the guitar volume, so the sound of awesomness could be heard a bit more! ^^ love your cover, dude. rock on \m/

[PJEstrada006]

muchas gracias

[seaweevil]

all the improvisations that u put in really fits the song perfectly!! I like it!!

[igotnothingman]

Les Paul Custom huh? Great playing and beautiful guitar! I have a 86 Custom and I wouldn't trade it for the world..

[Dukester362436]

[smallmanwill]

[DARRINCONNOR1]

Heyt tpd 1982 hows it goin, you are the first person I thought ov wen I discovered this new guitarist I found on U-Tube. You haf to check him out,not sure if you've heard ov him or not, his name is Andy Timmons check out pretrty much anyfukinthing he plays, just awesome totally blown away by this guy, his style is Eric Johnson meets Joe Satch. maybe chek out "Electric Gypsy" get bak to me let me know wat u think.Have you started your own band yet?? You need too!!!!

[tpd1982]

@DARRINCONNOR1 Cheers dude, I'm actually quite a big fan of Andy Timmons' old band Danger Danger - particularly a song called Don't Blame it On Love. That Electric Gypsy track is awesome, thanks for recommending. I've been in a few bands, just waiting for the right one to come along at the moment.

[DARRINCONNOR1]

@tpd1982 Oh no shit, he was the guitarist for Danger Danger.Did not no,thanx

[DARRINCONNOR1]

Dude cant even tell you how many times I've watched your vids,great stuff bro,but the one question I have is wen you cover these songs,are you improvising everytime, or do you play the song exactly the same way every time.Dude Im not blowing smoke but I'm tellin you,you have a unique melodic style-you haf to fukin no this,would like to hear the 4 dislikes opinion ov why they didnt like it.Cheers dude.Hey can you put up some more ov your band Metalworks,or anything else you have how bout a G.solo

[DARRINCONNOR1]

Are you in Drop D tuning??Absolutely awesome.Im not a good guitarist at all but can play some decent stuff but I'll tell you the solo in this song is harder than it looks ,talk about having to use feeling,wat do u think??

[tpd1982]

@DARRINCONNOR1 Nope, standard. Neal Schon is an unbelievable guitarist, a lot of his stuff is a lot harder than it looks. And the stuff that looks hard is pretty much impossible!

[DARRINCONNOR1]

@tpd1982 Dude W.T.F. I live in Detroit and Ferndale Is 1 mile north ov Detroit,and I see that Journey is playing The Magic Bag,that cant be right because thats not even a club it's a bar.These guys still fill stadiums dont they.What other guitarists are you inspired by??

[tpd1982]

@DARRINCONNOR1 Really? If that's true you should go check them out. I saw them at Wembley Arena in London this summer and they played to about 12,000 people. My other favourite guitarists...Slash, Gilmour, Sambora, Friedman, Gilbert, Petrucci, Smith & Murray from Iron Maiden among others.

[DARRINCONNOR1]

@tpd1982 Do you consider yourself a goo d guitarist?? cause I watch 100"s of guitarist on U-Tube and you definitely stick out among the flock,the feeling you put in.I was suprised you didn't list Brian May or E.V.H. I really like Gary Ricrath of R.E.O. and Neil whats his name??( Pat Benatars husband) But wasnt suprised you listed D.Gilmour or A.Smith/D.Murray

[tpd1982]

@DARRINCONNOR1 Cheers dude! I think I'm alright, but not in the same league as any of my favourites. Barely in the same sport as some of them! I love Brian May and EVH as well, not sure I know who the other two are.

[DARRINCONNOR1]

@tpd1982 Hey I went on your channell and watched your bands version ov 18 and life,is that your current band cool stuff tthe singer was really good

[tpd1982]

@DARRINCONNOR1 Cheers, nah it's not my band really; i'm one of a few people who share guitar duties. Band's called Metalworks, plays in London every Sunday night.

[DARRINCONNOR1]

@DARRINCONNOR1 Hey im thinkin about buying this "Line 6" 15 watt amp,has a couple built in effects flange,echo, for 50 dollars dont no much about amps.Wat u think,do u think if im playing mostly metal with distortion,it would be wat I need??Wat kind of amp,effects do you use.

[3PIC13378]

@DARRINCONNOR1 I'm 13 and i was playing just fine a long with the guitar solo... not very complicated at all.

[DARRINCONNOR1]

@3PIC13378 Yeah I agree thats its not complicated, but u do haf to do the string bending just right,put your version up on U-Tube would love to see it.

[3PIC13378]

@DARRINCONNOR1 ya, i agree with you, he has a very good solo, but, i have only started my guitar solo, about 3 days ago, i figured it out, so im not that good, but it's a pretty simple guitar, no very complicated, but it's more the right notes in the riht places, instead of havin a ton of shit every where, that's fancy... :p

[atvrider7]

you should do this song without the listener hearing the song as a haunting melody and I really loved what you did at the end after the song faded away, especially at 4:13,  its so beautifully haunting.

[atvrider7]

you should be playing for journey, I'd love to hear all the extra bits up on stage with them! great job.

[DTMeadows1]

but anyways an awesome sound

[DTMeadows1]

hey next time could you have a vid with the music in the background not as loud, i'd like to hear your axe some more.

[daownerulz]

Nice shirt ;P

[AlexLinville]

You improvised?! Epic.

[mrbouncy72639]

omGGG u n my friend have the same kinda fingers i cnt help noticing. so long n slender ;o

[YodaVanGrindey95]

Freaking great guitar right there!

[999caratofgold]

Oh and btw. Love the shirt :)

[999caratofgold]

did you hook up a flanger onto the amp?

[Bhksht]

tabs?

[tpd1982]

@Bhksht Sorry, I was mostly improvising. The whole song's in E major if you want to play lead over it, main chord sequence is E, B, C#m, A, E B, G#m, A for most of the song.

[johnnrzal]

nice job! : )

[Phallenmoon]

That was awesome man

[AngelsInkband]

Very nice bro

[TheKenree]

@tpd1982 what height did you set your humbuckers too? i was playing with mine and now the tone isnt what i want =/ help plz haha

[tpd1982]

@TheKenree Can't remember I'm afraid, and have actually changed the pickups since recording the vid.

[drkatel]

Great job! I really liked the harmonies in the solo--it works well!

[tpd1982]

@drkatel Thanks a lot, I love harmonies \m/

[MrCryian]

Great interpretation !! Thanks for sharing :-)

[tpd1982]

@MrCryian Cheers!

[ZeppelinClassics]

@max14sapp What's your excuse.

[max14sapp]

I've never seen a girl shred like that



[charvelgibson766]

nice tone!



[tpd1982]

@charvelgibson766 Cheers!

[McScottson]

YEEEE TOPWRAP FTW!

[guitarmaestro100]

man seriously.. that is fuckin brilliant! :D.. i tried to do a harmony like that.. it aint easy but you mastered it.. i have a jimmy paige signature les paul.. a fender stratocaster and a 2008 les paul and i cant get them near that sound.. and i have a Line 6 pod V2.0.. well done.. your really good :)

[buscemi17]

love the guitar! what year is it?

[tpd1982]

@buscemi17 Thanks dude, it's not a vintage one, think I got it about four or five years ago. It's at the studio at the moment, I'll try and find out.

[cetmarino1979]

do not try to reinvent the wheel bro...

you are not that genious on guitar.

[tpd1982]

@cetmarino1979 I'm not trying to reinvent anything dude, I was just jamming.

[eands2010]

@cetmarino1979 your not that genius at spelling

[notwfreak316]

@cetmarino1979 stop dissing. like your any better dude. anyway...great job tpd1982! i loved the extra lead breaks and harmonies on the solo! hands down one of the best covers ive seen!

[tpd1982]

@notwfreak316 Thanks man :-)

[DARRINCONNOR1]

@cetmarino1979 I think I would refer to this as improvised originality,not trying to accomplish anything else.

[jonezy124]

very nice interpretation there dude, anyone can learn the tabs and cover it note for note, i like this mixture of both your the original and your own mix.

[tpd1982]

@jonezy124 Thanks! :-)

[pumbkinpie320]

Dude u play a lot like i do. I put some harmony in my songs to make it more fun and hopefully creative.

[tpd1982]

@pumbkinpie320 Cheers dude, keep it up. Harmonies rule :-)

[tapper45]

you missed the whole lead in run to the solo at 3:05.

and what is up with the "harmony" solo?

you're playing in the wrong key.

[tpd1982]

@tapper45 Sorry dude. What key should I have been playing in? I was going for E major, which is the same key as the original. Just a bit of fun.

[tapper45]

@tpd1982

i have no idea what key it is.

your notes and the original notes playing in the background are in different octaves.

[tpd1982]

@tapper45 The harmony I tried was on a high B, three frets above the high G# on the album. Sorry you didn't like it.

[MrAdigal]

@tapper45 shut up dude he play it aswome it dosen't have to be like the song in 100 % he gam it very cool!

[tapper45]

@MrAdigal

i'm glad you liked it.

the more shitty music that exists the better my music sounds.

people like you who like shitty music are actually doing the rest of us a favor.

thanks, and keep it up.

[TheQwertyGuitars]

@tapper45 dude u're fucking stupid. He played in harmony with the other guitarist, he didn't play in the wrong key.. Learn listening

[tapper45]

@TheQwertyGuitars

learn that i don't care.

[TheQwertyGuitars]

@tapper45 what are u commenting back for then?

[tapper45]

@TheQwertyGuitars

YOU are the hack.

[SeverightSeductionn]

[arigatron7]

[Crolegend4]

THIS IS BULLSHIT! WHY IS THERE ONLY 838 VIEWS??! THIS KICKED MAJOR ASS!!

[weaponx29]

what drive are u using? are u using a delay?

[tpd1982]

@weaponx29 I think it was Brit Hi-Gain with the Delay/Compressor setting, tapped delay in time with the track.

[FOXYFOXYLOXY1234]

Very well done bud!!!!!!

[TheHellChannel1]

nice cover!!!!!!
