[JoeCervo]

@Levi790 LOL

[detroitrockcity22]

i heard people on here say they don't sell these anymore. is that true?????????????

[JoeCervo]

@detroitrockcity22 They made them again in 2009 Im not sure if they still do. I think it was a 20 year anniversary

[mitchellvanvliet]

very cool playing L and R,

But what good does it do?

Is there a particular reason you play both?

[nicolas201014]

where is randy rhoads poster?? :(

[anime4ever2996]

Damn HELL you're good!

[GoCeltics734]

and gotta love the hurt your eyes colors of Ibanez!

my guitar is a '90 Rg570 (simply a 550 with a rosewood board) in Purple Neon

[tabotabojayar]

can ambidexterity in guitar be acquired through practice?

[AnnaAnnaYes]

@tabotabojayar Yes, but you better practice a lot!!

[tabotabojayar]

@AnnaAnnaYes that;s hell....i wish i was born a left-handed so i will be forced to use my right hand and then get used to both....i'm pretty worn out practicing a lot, almost everyday....zzzzz..

i haven't even made a single guitar video in my channel in my 3 years of playing... :DDDDDDDD

[AnnaAnnaYes]

@tabotabojayar Don't quit,none of your idols did'nt!

[XxQuadcoredxX]

waht do you prefer left or right handed

[James57433]

Is it any better or as gd as the Rg350M ?

[GoCeltics734]

@James57433

honestly, thats like asking if a Squier Strat is as good as a Gibson LP.

the 350m is a Guitar Hero controller compared to the 550.

the 550 has a far better neck and trem. it really is night and day

[AnnaAnnaYes]

I belive in one of my old Ibanez catalogs it's called Sea Salmon Pink

my brother plays Ibanezes and Fender Strats, he's a session guitarist.

[GoCeltics734]

@AnnaAnnaYes

that is a reissue 550 though. so it is definitely Road Flare Red

[AnnaAnnaYes]

@GoCeltics734 Yes it is!

[AnnaAnnaYes]

Gary Moore, Michael Angelo Batio,Rick Nielsen and even Jacqueline

Mannering were all born left-handed,but play rightie

[StaulkHolm]

a little sloppy but few improvisations arent.

[yngwue]

is that a RG550 sir??

[JoeCervo]

@yngwue yes sir!!!!!!!!!!!!

[1ryan5150]

@JoeCervo Pink?

[DYOLFMOT]

[PhreePhizz]

Would you be willing to sell that guitar?

[tabotabojayar]

[Paracoccidio]

[Pyrofreezer]

Wow! Great playing and you're ambidextrous! You need to get a MAB dual neck guitar and riff on both at the same time :D

[shytu]

why ibanez discontinued this guitar???

[JoeCervo]

special edition

[rasmus91]

@JoeCervo

I heard you played "A Change of Seasons" by Dream Theater at the start ;D nice :D

[JoeCervo]

hmm.... I dont know it. maybe it just sounded like it?

[MadBassist2]

@rasmus91 I thought the exact same thing

[itsvoogle]

@rasmus91 it did sound like it lol

[hXeDrummerBoy]

How in the hell did you learn to play L and R. unbelievable

[JoeCervo]

Practice Practice Practice

[pogg101]

you should do your Betcha can't play this videos right handed

[JoeCervo]

Yeah!!! i have been planning on that!

[Pigioto1]

how much was it? and what pickups does it have? I want a RG350 =P is the 550 better?

[SilverEraProductions]

Is an AK-47 better than a water pistol? YES!!!

[Pigioto1]

lol thx but I changed my mind about the guitar im getting =]

[dimebagharley]

rofl good luck finding one mate

[IBANEZRG320DXFMTG]

550 is much better...350 edge3 is not stable at all...

[alexfheind]

i used to think the same, and it is stable , i dont fucking like adjusting the damn thing , im just to lazy for that ):

[domonichimself]

A pig is better than a 350. Look aroubd ebay for an 87-93 model. they're cheaper and amazing

[hinotai]

hey man. i love the RG550. im getting one in yellow.

[karategrl15]

so u can play left AND right?!?!?! cool!!!!

[JoeCervo]

Yes I can!

[gusheu199]

how much would one of these 550xx's run me in canada

[JoeCervo]

well... it was 900$ US

around 850$ Canadian ???? not sure

[phenixer]

You could have bough XYPHOS !

[DuDe1040]

yes i can see it that this is new guitar..you didnt tke off the price lol

[JoeCervo]

Have Fun

[texasranga]

dude that guitar looks like its so much fun to play... anything with a maple fretboard is always my favorite.

[MusicianofStark]

same

[JoeCervo]

I don't know, I just let it go wherever...... You would have to ask a guitar tech

[ludde010]

i think that you should be fucking famous because you are a reallay fucking good guitarrist and you can play both ways so keep up the good work(Y)

[xjimmyh171x]

i love the Paginini!! 25th caprice am i right?

[naffunnel]

[jimmyh171]

[ProtestTheRomeo]

That guitar looks so awesome. My dad has that one. How long have you been playing?

[JoeCervo]

Playing right handed is just a hobby but I have been playing lefty for 7 years.

[Frankieyh]

I want that rg :O it looks so sweet. It's almost impossible to get an rg550 with a maple neck where i live:'(

[JoeCervo]

well... check ebay, they have everything on there....

[dcmack13]

where i live-you cant get it without it!

[bustapitt]

Great playing man!

what song are you playing with the strat?

[JoeCervo]

Just some lines that I made up over a backing track. I never gave it a name

[bustapitt]

thats a nice one, relly like the indian vibe there.

[poindexter3000]

The strat sounds pretty sweet.Nice one!

[JoeCervo]

thanks

[Djaevulsnallen]

[venom000012]

hey great vid, whats that song you play around 2:00?

[JoeCervo]

Just something I made up while playing

[Sasukey1445]

Hey man I can't help but be curious, you got quite the man cave [Your room]. Would you mind if I asked what you do for a living? Kickass playing by the way.

\m/

[JoeCervo]

not at all. I go to college and buy music stuff with my loan money. Next year I start music college so ill have all the gear that I will need.

[Sasukey1445]

Ohhh good luck at college man. Where are you going? I was thinking about going to Berklee, if I decide to choose music as a primary profession, and what would you be going for?

[JoeCervo]

McNally Smith in St. Paul next fall

[sicktkdchick]

awesome!I wanna go to the musician's institute in hollywood!

[Sweetking182]

solid lead brother

[Jim1490]

hang on...didnt they stop making those 550s? iv got an old 1990 one. would love a new one...where did u get it and how much? if im not being too rude. cheers :)

[JoeCervo]

Yeah they quit making then but this was a collectors edition or something. I got it from musicians friend almost 2 years ago. mine was $900. There should be some up on ebay. You will find one just check around.

[sheasmith160]

wow nice rg!!!!!!

[paketh7]

thats impresive my friend!

good shit

[albertmetal93]

What model of tremolo use this guitar?¿? How much is it?

[JoeCervo]

It is an Ibanez RG 550 it is $900 Not sure on the tremolo though. You will have to check musiciansfriend.

[psychono2]

WOW! Im gonna try and get a guitar for christmas and maybe with practice I can be half as good as you!

[JoeCervo]

alright! Do the best you can!

good luck

[ClemeXXRv]

hot axe dude!

[emosswords]

i was looking for a guotar likr that yesterday, 24 frets and whammy :/

[JoeCervo]

what...........

[jepdiniz]

what a cool room

[JoeCervo]

Thanks!

[MuvoTX]

holy crap! Ive never seen someone play both right and left handed.

I have an RG220, one of the cheaper ones. I swapped the floyd-clone for an old original I had laying around and PUs have been updated to a tone Zone + PAF.  Its a really nice playing piece.

cool tunes and nice 550 too!!

[JoeCervo]

Thanks! I have been doing that for a while now.

[cmdrchris971]

that is a bad ass room

[anutoldlegend89]

Dude that was brand new and fresh Still had the tag.

[Daaab89]

Guitar is nice, but it's color..... bleh....

[JoeCervo]

hahha Thanks! It was a different color in the magazine!

[thatguy5557123]

i lik the color

[camus1989]

me 2 ;D Great. But i want Desert Yellow. I can't get that:/

[unforgetablefrenzy]

how much is the ibanes rg550 on average joe?

[HuntersStory]

Beautyful sound!

[freezazoid]

nevermind.. i'm on drugs. I just saw a bunch of lefty guitars on the rack and didn't realize you were actually playing righty until a few seconds into your playing. what up with all the lefties?

[JoeCervo]

I'm left handed but I play both ways.

[freezazoid]

wow... you're really good right handed. I never would have guessed that that's not you're original way you learned.

[freezazoid]

it must suck being a lefty... you're at a friends house and they have some sweet guitar that you want to try out but you can't.  If from the beginning you would have just learned right handed it's not really that hard... that's what I did. Plus there's many phenom guitarists who can play both left and right handed. You should ditch the left handed guitar and learn to play right handed.

[goodguitar18]

hey dud how much do those guitars run averagly im realy intrsted in getting one where can i get one of the internet?

[JoeCervo]

900$  check ebay....

[hollseey]

ooh ok thanks :) ill defo look out for that colour :)

youre amazing on the guitar!! how long have you played for?

[hollseey]

omfgggg!! im dying for my room and guitar to be that colour! lol can u get paint that colour?

[JoeCervo]

I think you could paint it. It is Road flare red in real life but it looks hot pink in videos.

[ImQuyslamic]

dude I have an Ibanez too and im not really sure what kind. I know thats pathetic but Ibanez guitars rock!

[DazzMania619]

pink i love pink!!!!!

[negitivezero7]

What amp are you using?

[JoeCervo]

Pod line 6

[mannyichi]

Aw cool I have the same guitar clock that glows neon too!!!^_^

[killjoy350]

how long have you been playing

[JoeCervo]

2 years righty and 5 lefty at the time of the video

[negitivezero7]

So you're ambidextrous right?

[WizoTime]

this guitar I would almost chewed! Good sound i love it

[iplaymyoozik]

great playing, how much did you get this bad boy for? looking into one

[JoeCervo]

they have them all on musiciansfriend

[JoeCervo]

I dont think they have any left. It was a special edition. I think it was 900$

[iplaymyoozik]

ah, that sucks. thanks anyway though

[DROE84]

wow Ibanez are so nice and nice playing

[potpot1611]

ibanez guitars are F*cking gorgeous.. not to mention they sound great and gives the player very great comfort..

i own one too .. :D

[3510211]

id kill for a 550,570 or 770. damn i need to get my hands on one.

[peperpimenta]

Just the simple fact you can play both sides makes you a F.... Pro.

Well done keep us showing your nice stuff.

[JoeCervo]

yea!!! thanks alot!

[JessieSammler]

Not bad. The RG550 is the fucking guitar that God meant for all kids to have. Mine's fifteen years old and will never stop rocking.

[Drillsback]

Not bad.

[xMatthias]

How old are you?

[JoeCervo]

I turned 20 a few months ago.

[byahhhfoo]

u play lefty and righty?

damnnn..

ur good though

[JoeCervo]

yes I can! thanks alot

[damienravnos]

Damn that's pretty. I have the original 550 model of the same guitar, even with the same color :) I've been trying to hunt a Desert Yellow coloured for a while now. I still prefer the old 550 over my Ibanez J.Custom. And yeah, cwes7675 hits the spot, a good advice.

[ludiim0m0n]

is that the new rg550xx? it really cool.. how much did you pay for it?

[JoeCervo]

around 900$

[esp2323]

ebay?

[JoeCervo]

musicians friend

[esp2323]

do you think they might still sell it?

[JoeCervo]

Im sure they do!
