Jackson RR5 solo i wrote for my band

[marinodanilo]

how much this guitar cost?

[milnerization]

Lovin the awesome Bodom shirt,.... oh and sweet solo man even if it is to show off lol

[TheAlexHaisting]

"Look at me, i can do a major and minor sweep!"

[GARYmetallica]

@TheAlexHaisting No minor sweeps in this video. Brush up on theory, or at least listen properly and/or open your eyes, or brush that hair out of them and forget about that fucking ego of yours because you're nothing special yourself.

[TheAlexHaisting]

@GARYmetallica is that so? or have i just not posted anything in a while maybe? maybe a i hate a fucking life and dont have the time to put shit on youtube? Maybe i could whoop your fucking ass, not only at guitar, cause thats a guarantee, but in real life to? you scrawny little fuck. So yeah, suck mu dick mutha fuckker!

[GARYmetallica]

@TheAlexHaisting You do realize that this video is three years old, so if anyone hasn't posted anything in a while it's me. Stop trying to act the hard man on the internet because you do nothing but embarrass yourself.

[bubbleheadft]

@TheAlexHaisting Even so, it's not about how hard something is to play, it's about how it sounds. And that sounded pretty damned good.

[magicthunder666]

@TheAlexHaisting fag

[TheAlexHaisting]

@magicthunder666 queer.

[stix471]

fucking nice man.. :)

[leneamber1]

Nice classic rock shredding dude :D

[Shin83320]

It's pretty cool, but it looks more like "hey, look what i can play" ^^'

But you're good though :)

[GARYmetallica]

@Shin83320 To be honest, that's more than likely what I was thinking at the time. Lol.

[Shin83320]

@GARYmetallica xD

[Mikael45831]

@GARYmetallica thank you, i'm gonna buy rr5 then, because i just love the tone of Randy Rhoads.

[krollaostmedburger]

@Mikael45831 you know that you won't get Randy Rhoads tone just because you buy a signature guitar with his name on.

[Mikael45831]

Is it easy to play v guitar while sitting?

[GARYmetallica]

@Mikael45831 Yes, very easy actually. You have to sit with the guitar in the classical position though, which is what I do anyway because it's easier to play on the higher frets

[236987451]

@Mikael45831

absolutly no.

its a torture

[smokemysausages]

iv got that guitar AND that shirt:)

[aris17561]

hey man nice solo... is this guitar neck dives ?

[OstineKim]

i love your playing

your shirt

your guitar

[lemcollins12]

real awsome man is that standard tuneing

[GARYmetallica]

@lemcollins12 It is.

[PopRocksV]

Bring up the audio, and you'll be good.

[ReaperOfMen]

Nice playing, but a suggestion from me would be

1. I enjoy fast runs as much as the next guy, but I think you may have overused some. Not a bad thing, just this feels like it could be a more "musical" solo, and different phrasing could make it sound even better .

2. The sweep arpeggios, again just my opinion, while very clean and fluid which I applaud you on, seemed to drag on for a little too long.

Your playing is great, but a few subtle changes can make it 1000 times better =)

[SharpMarksMan]

dude u are good

[MrDirectGraffiti]

how is the neck? i like a fast neck but it's a painted neck right? and my epiphone has a painted neck and it kinda feels like my hand is glued to the neck

[GARYmetallica]

@MrDirectGraffiti Yeah it is a painted neck, although it is possible to obtain one with a 'shaved' neck but it is not the genuine RR5 and it only has duncan designed pickups. The neck is really good on this guitar.

[Stashitquick]

@MrDirectGraffiti Try a Jackson RR3. Bolt on neck and a floyd rose but its got an unfinished neck.

[Sparks424]

@MrDirectGraffiti Jacksons have fast Necks Regardless something their known for ....

[wanabslash91]

is tht the japan version of tht guitar?

[GARYmetallica]

@wanabslash91 Yes

[mxr088]

nice one! :D nice guitar!

can I ask you for a massive favor? ...

could you draw me a 1:1 sketch of that V plate wing and draw dots where the holes should be.

I would be more than happy! thank you a lot!

waiting for your reply ... I'll give you my email when you'll reply

[GARYmetallica]

@mxr088 Im sorry man i have no idea how to do that Lol.

[unholypally]

@GARYmetallica

all u need to do is take it off and trace it lol

[dimebag122895]

its a badass guitar i know cos i have one fucking great but a bitch to play sitting down lol

[bodhardcore]

its a nice sounding solo i just think the sweeping bit went on a bit but sounded good due

[metalmania310]

I like the beginning but the entrance to the shredding was pretty rough.

[FireRoundTheSky]

ill put money on the table and say you took lessons.

[GARYmetallica]

You would be right, yes i did take lessons, but only for a short while.

[FireRoundTheSky]

hahah its no big deal that u did, just ever time i see someone sweep picking its bc they took lessons, i personally dont and dont want to but, there isnt anything wrong with it. keep up the great work man.

[GARYmetallica]

it was actually from a video on here that i learned sweep picking lol, but thanks man.

[chidorikakashi]

@FireRoundTheSky ik sweep picking and ive never had a lesson on sweep picking

[perfectxinsanity1]

ive never had lessons =/

[FireRoundTheSky]

is it hard to learn sweep picking? or does it just seem hard?

[GARYmetallica]

It took me ages.. like, months and months to learn 5 string sweeps but the 3 string sweeps i learned quite literally overnight lol. But aye, its hard enough.

[perfectxinsanity1]

once u get the hang of it its not that difficult but it took me a month to make it work....i can do 5 string sweeps and 5 string sweep/ tapping and i find it easyer than 3 string sweeping.

[FireRoundTheSky]

Gotya just like everything else, takes practice.

[Ibik]

hey man, i have this guitar got it yesterday!

Im trying to to restring but it has locking tuners how can i take the strings out?

[GARYmetallica]

Ahh, I don't know man, mine doesn't have locking tuners lol Sorry.

[FireRoundTheSky]

ya take an allan key and untighten it.

[lg12345lg]

I like it :)

[lespaul215]

it would be better if i could hear it

[MMFWCLICP4LIFE]

your a beast

[insatanwetrustslave]

Nice solo but it just didn't seem to fit together. Not saying it was bad I just feel solos should piece together from each stage.

I really liked it though and your technical ability is great! Awesome sweeps dude!

[rmxrider20032000]

Nice playing but would like to hear it in context when can we expect to hear the whole song?

[0SynysterBoy0]

thats a really good solo just not my type

[JoeyVFive]

It must feel so good playing on that rhoads

[NoobMaster000]

you got some serious skills

[dir45]

seriously for about just under 3 years now.

[Rykusyn]

Very nice.  Should be longer, though. :D

[Wwrath]

+1 on the lifeless sweeping, but nice shredding nonetheless

[Moparandrsfreak01]

I liked it alot, I disagree with alot of the comments about the shredding sounding lifeless or what not, I think it fitted very well and probably wouldn't recieve such a bad reception if you had a backing track to go by. Anyways 5/5.

[ernieball3645]

amazing i would like to see it with a back track but still 5 stars

[Mhyztikal]

I like the beginning but the shredding sounded so emotionless =p

[RtL594]

The beginning of it is really catchy

[taelerjo1999]

i mite get guitar like that but black or somethin cus my grampu is going to buy me any guitar

[theblisterexsists]

nice

[mikem376]

Cool. What genre is your band? I love metal instead.

[GARYmetallica]

Sadly the band i wrote this for is now broke up, only got to play this live 4 times :(

I do have a metal band though, we recently got a drummer, check us out on bebo or myspace we are called Through Blinded Eyes.

[RockGodrg666]

well...you suck

[GARYmetallica]

No, i don't suck. I watched your videos and.. your really nothing special. And by the way, your cover of the master of puppets solo was hideous.

[RockGodrg666]

hahaha i knew you would say something like that just wait for my new videos i dont have a working camera

[GARYmetallica]

Well until then, shut the fuck up.

[RockGodrg666]

im back

[JeffHardyZakkWylde]

it was a good solo. .but why do you say that you dont suck..? Do you think your an good guitarist?

[dir45]

Because i dont beleive that I suck at guitar, especially when told so from a faggot like that guy up there. Do I think im a good guitarist? no, but admitting that i suck would make me an unconfident player.

[SephiSpawn]

Its kikazz exept probably cut down on the sweep picking

[pizzowner]

Nice skills and nice guitar! But I'd say the sweep part should be shorter and the second half of it replaced with some melodic stuff

[thesystem2000]

is this guitar a good buy

[GARYmetallica]

Yes. Definately.

[thesystem2000]

ok we have it at our guitar store and im saveing for it

[MartyDoc789]

your making a mistake mate.

its a load of shite.

get a Squire Stratt

cant go wrong with them. .

[thesystem2000]

bro im getting a esp ltd v200 but squire strats in my opinion are retarted i hate fender and squire

[MartyDoc789]

haha i was only joking

haha

squires suck seirous ass

worst guitars ever created.

[bloop114]

mother fucker that was good

[metalcorefiend]

cool but to much sweeping. nice jckson.

[mschap24]

it's not the amount of sweeping, i think it's just that it's the same pattern over and over and over again. haha

[godgirlsguitars]

Ever get your RR5 set up right. mine has bad action for a guitar over a grand. if i get the strings low i get fret buzz.

[GARYmetallica]

Well I bought mine in Sam Ash, LA and I had the same problem but before i paid for it i asked the guitar tech to set up the neck so that there is no fret buzz and has good low action for playing fast and then it was fine, and now any adjustments i have to make i just raise and lower the bridge.

[MyTruthUntoldRythym]

type*

[MyTruthUntoldRythym]

Yeah the sweep section was a bit long, try moving up a couple strings to have a deeper sound, well, then again it depends on what time of band you have, other than that man you rock!

[MetalManiacA7]

was pretty good but the sweep bit was abit too long

but over all pretty good

[dir45]

thanks! yeah the sweep bit was too long, these days its shorter though with tapping and stuff instead.

[lespaulguitarman24]

focus on notes more than speed. Oh, and make sure your playing it in the same key your rythm (rythem??) guitar is playing. If you dont it will sound very bad.

[Drats1NHScrew]

rhythm (the longest word in the english language not to contain a vowel). ((that i can think of))

[hahaholiday123]

It has a "Y", which is considered a vowel when no other "normal" vowels are present. ;)

[imdashit5]

honestly, this was good, but try to keep both of your hand in sync.

[jcummi12]

cool shred stuff but it's a bit muddy which is annoying because that was shredtastic!

[m3rcuryd3ath]

your technique is bad, but it sounded alright I guess...

work on both hands..your fingers are flailing and your sweeping hand isnt very consistent.

[johnsmith175]

agreed =]

[shenmue15654]

that werent bad, u gt the techniques doownn but u need to listen what to your playin, if it down sounds melodic and memorable to u then it wont to us, in all fuckin awesome tho

[tucker5566]

good but not great

[HellRaiserSunset]

wow that was pretty sick

[justinpatadair]

hey, did you put gold pick up covers over the duncans? thatd look prtty sick i think

[GARYmetallica]

nah man im gonna leave them as they are, would make the guitar too tacky looking

[RockOnGoodPeople5394]

yes,definately better than me :(

[alejandroramos69]

cool men!
