[NoNutella4you]

Well you can play the notes of the song correctly but this doesnt even sound close to the song. It's funny that you think that others don't know what they're talking about but you seem to know nothing about music at all ;)

[TREWBLUE2004]

@NoNutella4you : I dont mind constructive criticism, but saying that it sounds nothing like the original is dumb. I invite you to show us all how it is done so we can all learn something. Unless you are one of those 'coach but dont play' sorts. Remember, just because you point out faults of others doesnt make you omnipotent, it merely portrays you as an arrogant person. Michael Jordan doesnt go around criticizing high school kids by telling them they dont know how to play, he shows them.

[JohnDietz]

@NoNutella4you Why don't you post a video and show us how it's done and what he's doing wrong??

[blazeabla]

@NoNutella4you the only reson y it might not sound right is cuz its not tuned right in the song it was a lil deeper.

[XxConnyKingxX]

wheres the intonation? Especially this song deserves more feeling... work on that!

[TREWBLUE2004]

@XxConnyKingxX : Intonation? Um...I play it pretty much spot on compared to the song. You dont know what you are talking about. Ps: I heard your song on your page...yaaaa...lots of feeling in the retro, overly synthesized, Nintendo 64 style overly repetitive bore-fest you have there. Work on that.

[XxConnyKingxX]

@TREWBLUE2004

but turning back again to some constructive feedback and not polemic crap, what I´d say is turn down amp gain and bass and heightening the treble. Do you use EMG pickups? They sound like some but I´d say it doesnt fit to Van Halen style (I mean im not critizising u there its just analysing from what I hear). At the bends, I would slant the pick slightly and "dig" into the strings. Furthermore, I would take a few breaks inbetween the song parts to create a more genuine atmosphere

[TREWBLUE2004]

@XxConnyKingxX . Its not meant to have the 'van halen' sound out of my amp...this is strictly a lesson to learn how to play it. It isnt meant as a 'look how perfect I play it' demonstration. You have to keep in mind its being recorded on a digital camera...not a mic'd digital recorder. Of coarse the sound quality is going to suck. Again...that is not the point....the point is to demonstrate the song and show how to play it step by step. Your comment about 'taking breaks' makes no sense.

[XxConnyKingxX]

@TREWBLUE2004 Fine but I strongly defend the belief that, quote: "How to play" , is far more than just knowing the notes.

Sound quality... whatever. I cant judge that.

I don´t know if you have ever of a musical caesura... but thats what I´m talking about and for any musician that studied music it should make sense.

[TREWBLUE2004]

@XxConnyKingxX : Try listening to the real song...which I doubt you have because there are no 'musical breaks'...Im playing it exactly how the song goes. This is why people get turned off of musical knowledge because high-ons like you love showcasing what you have read in a book to make others feel less studied. Music comes from the heart and is far more than throwing the term musical Caesura around...which proves you are an arrogant person for attempting to trump others knowledge levels.

[Rsaucido]

[TREWBLUE2004]

Perhaps...pretty darn close though for not having a drum track to play along with. Thanks though!

[PlanetSushi8995]

only complaint is that some of the finger tapped pull offs were slightly off beat, but i mess up the same way you do, so it's all good :P
