Boston Cover - Foreplay/Long Time

[TheShockerVI]

Great job!

[MTCOWBOY711]

The hollow/echo effect is cool.

[farleycl1]

awsome

[hbrookes]

Dude, Playing along with a song is not doing a cover. Would you do this in a bar? You are practicing.....The real lead was by Barry Godreau on the studio recording.

[dragkid4545]

tabs bro??? plz

[dannyhood66]

Dude i notice your fret board ends on the 23rd fret, That makes E flat on the E strings? Be a lil confusing to me anyways?

[2012Romney]

@dannyhood66 No, it just means you don't have 2 octaves. No big deal. Basically, the only difference between a 23 fret guitar and a 24 fret guitar is that the 23 fret guitar doesn't have that highest note.

[dannyhood66]

@2012Romney No? Shit the 23rd fret on the high E string is an E flat note, Which is different to me anyways, it means something, like trying to bend up to an ear piercing F# or G note might be little too much and break string it happens.

[dannyhood66]

Good job dude! That other guitarist in Boson played some leads on this? The guy no one ever mentions?

[drew199321]

1:50 you might want to turn down your sunlamp just a little bit :P

[williamwilbur]

@drew199321 no he doesnt

[TopGun8993]

[sumvengeance]

@tonmereestgross hey i speak the truth don't get mad now.

[MrASDFSkyler]

I love the acoustic guitar parts.

[smithcory5]

OH MY GOSH. THAT SOLO.

O.O

AMAZING.

[ApeLikeCreature]

Great playing and superb tone there MisterShred! What type of Pickups do you have in your 75? I want to replace the pickups in my 79 Custom and love that warm creamy Boston tone. Thanks so much!

[rjet43]

nice job but please replace you pickup guard! it distracted me! lol

[MarioMan400]

which pick-up should u use to play this, the neck pick up or the bridge pick up?

[PocaWolfenstein7]

@MarioMan400 looks like his switch is in the "Treble" position.

[MarioMan400]

@PocaWolfenstein7 yah, i always noticed how playing on bridge pick-up always sounded better for this song

[PocaWolfenstein7]

@MarioMan400 indeed it does. i play on my macbook so it doesn't sound very full, but still pretty good.

[jlw90210]

Looks like you have a broken pickup mount

[journey6869]

[MisterShred]

@sledhead7969 I find it easier to mute the higher strings. I guess it's a bad habit that wasn't corrected.

[sledhead7969]

We all have bad habits.

[xxPSYCHO69xx]

[SDWolf364]

Great Cover!!! Killer Axe you got as well!!

[DisturbeD6699]

Sounds like shit. Also, use your pinky

[c4sb2008]

solo sounds like shit

[Enigmers]

Very nicely played, especially near the end there. Great job.

[carlosmolina1976]

How do yu do to bend the freetboard?? ;-)

seriously, great cover.

[beastandthemom]

am i the only one who attempted to do the keyboard part on guitar...?

[ameilsa2]

i play the intro a little diffrent, i play the power chords on the a string a little more than you

[lilskates3]

lol thats what makes it a cover, we wouldnt like it if it was exactly the same bud

[leafninja124]

What kind of amp did you use?

[JoeyyT20]

[19guitarplayer96]

awesome dude u have a gift

[MetallicaFan1493]

wtf 2.05 am i on acid?

[petrucciguy199]

very nice version of the main solo. Rock on!

[93harp]

great cover man, good job

[wilx218x]

Great job Mister Shred! Now let me give you all some quick facts about this song.

A reviewer stated that Tom Scholz plays on this song. Well that's correct, but he does not play the guitar, just the organ. It's Barry Goudreau who plays the lead guitar. It says so on the liner notes from the remastered "Boston" cd. I saw Boston live in June of 1986 in Dallas's Cotton Bowl. Eventhough I was stoned, I recall with clarity that Gary Phil played the lead and rhythm guitar on this song.

[clhoyt1003]

Great cover! subbed. 5/5

[chunkeymonkey100]

great song to do and good playing

[jeffreychampion1]

beautiful guitar

[Triassicc]

not very clean with the riff on

2:39-2:45

kinda ruined the video to tell you the truth

[twiggymac]

riff is the incorrect word to use, but yes it was different from the album version.

i dont see it as bad, even when scholz plays the song live he plays it differently each time, you have to let him be artistically diverse

[Bamazrollin]

did you just agree to play it better???

[steelersfan0114]

great job

[Danjones56]

Awesome vid. one question. One the album version, is the acoustic part played on a 12 string?

[MisterShred]

I'm not sure. It may have been double tracked/detuned a bit.

[twiggymac]

im pretty sure it is

[BrandonLane96]

@Danjones56 Yes, It was done on a 12 string.

[71MARTIND28]

@Danjones56 'Tis. The late Brad Delp played it on a 12-string Martin on both the studio recording and live.

[epic9233]

Damn, you got skills.

[ictman]

that was a great cover, you got some serious skills, nice, i liked it

[guilmon182]

Awesome! That a Gibson or Epiphone?

[MisterShred]

75 Gibson.

[guilmon182]

Sweet!

[skater270]

beautiful guitar i want a gibson but i cant afford :P

loving the pickups great tone !

[acalmingeffect69]

damn good job...kudos to you,,excellent

[warcraftADICT]

BEST COVER EVER! 5/5 man great job!

[InfinityDan]

this is a cool cover,good job

[lonewolf141]

my fav part is the acoustic part. idk the riff is just so awesome.

[kingofrock923]

thats the best part of the song

[goldenrod221]

your not going to believe this but i was using this video as kind of lesson and then all of the sudden it started snowing on the screen then your guitar bent. it was crazy.lol good cover dude

[wildheart1860]

same thing happened to me while watching.....bad weed?

[theonetheycallian]

you are the master of guitar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[camerabuzzer]

Thats what I called. But the soind is a little different. Anyway, thats the real one. I think you are ready for the real band

[TayTayKemp]

that was awesome!!

[scmrdo]

what is the acoustic part called i want to learn that

[goldenrod221]

i think its called the acoustic part.

[lilskates3]

NICE!

[CaterpillarD7]

Nice cover!!! Nice Les Paul!!!

[MOSKII58]

nice goldtop are those custom pups ? if so which model? thanx

i am saving for a goldtop do you think the gibson is worth the difference as compared to the epiphone??

[MisterShred]

It's a Duncan Custom in the bridge and a Duncan 59'er in the neck. I've had this guitar for many years now. If I were to buy it today I wouldn't spend the money they're asking. So no, the gibsons aren't 4 times better than the epis. BUt if you've got the money to blow do it cause the Gibsons are pretty sweet.

[FenderStratShredder]

hey moskii58 are humbuckers any good i have an epiphone les paul hnybrst omg so nice lol i was wondering if theyy are good or not

[MOSKII58]

of course they have a fuller sound than single coils, in the end its up to whatever sound you are looking for..

[knightkiller23]

may i please have tabs man cause im an amateur and plus the tabs i got are all wrong on this song!

[Inlistd]

This songs a bitch on rockband

[TheTalech]

[spleeeeeen2]

[brianmaysspawn]

you can get backing tracks that have the guitars taken out so you can put your own over the top of the bass/keys/drums/ukulele etc.

[notreallysure9]

dude, can you point me to a site from where I can get the backing tracks?

[allrightythan]

Favorited...

[AlmostMetallica]

amen

[bannanabread47]

ur bloody good

[Tubes12AX7k]

Someone on YouTube has managed to create a homemade copy of Tom Scholz's "hyperspace pedal" using an Electro Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man delay pedal and an Electro Harmonix Hot Foot pedal to change the delay time. You can see it under " HYPERSPACE PEDAL DEMO SCHOLZ BOSTON" here on YouTube. I just saw it and thought others would like to know.

[skywalk762]

O_O... mutant . guitar. 3:20

[DeathWish1331]

LOL

I was like "Why the hell is that neck bending like that?"

2:00

good job, I love it man!

[at0micl0bster]

[DeathWish1331]

I was just tripping.

[drummerofthesouth]

how long you been playin man?

[MisterShred]

20+ years. This song just happens to fit my style of pentatonics with lots of hammer ons and pulloffs.  I'm terrible at memorizing solos.

[nippyella]

this guy is good .....................

[Cgolfsoccerguy]

hey man great vid could u maybe send me a message on what settings you put your sustainor on?

[MisterShred]

It's in the description.

All settings on the sustainor were on the diamonds except I maxed the input levels and the treble trim. The rhythm was the edge setting.

[Cgolfsoccerguy]

best cover on youtube u should 100 percent make a how to on the solos it would be so great!!!! suscribing!

[uiuoiujklj]

Almost perfect!!! I think at 1:40 there should of been like a high note played like on the 13th fret or something like that. Great Job though!!! 5stars

[MisterShred]

Hmm I think you're right. Oh well.

[uiuoiujklj]

I didn't mean it in a bad way. I was just pointing that out. U still did an awesome job
