Chris Feener Hangar 18 Solo Section

[ilikGuacomole]

I like to listen to your version more than the original :P those personal touches you added in there make it sound even better.

[MrRohant]

the same song, the same guitar,the same guy.. just a new camera and new hands. heh well done mate :)

[brpadington]

Nice! Nothing tbad to say about this at all. You totally nailed it.

[ghostzapper2006]

very sweet

[petrucci619]

BLOWN away from this cover not only are u a talented musician but ur going on my list of inspirational artists / guitarists along with travis

[Puertoricansniper]

YOUR TONE IS FUCKING AMAZING!!! Really bad ass. What pedals if any, and amp are you using?

[dinos35]

is there a way to practice vibrato chris ?

[UliseX12]

hey feener! youre fucking good man!!!

[Jkv2666]

do you happen to have a tab for this ? :d

[ChrisFeener]

@Jkv2666 I did a bit too much improvisation for me to want to transcribe it, but I just used one of the higher-rated PowerTabs on Ultimate-Guitar for the core of it!

[Jkv2666]

@ChrisFeener wow, thats one hell of an improvisation :)) thanks anyway and of course awesome cover :d

[Rowsol84]

that solo is godly.

[zigen96]

SUBSCRIBE, or not to SUBSCRIBE..... !!SUBSCRIBE!!

[ChrizzleA]

Awesome rendition ! You have a very nice vibrato and overall touch. Nice bends and phrasing, i know its very hard to cover friedman AND make it sound good and you did a very good job.

I see you put Pod Xt in the tags, are you using one in this video ? If so, could you please PLEASE share the patch ? you have seemed to get a really clear and articulate tone for soloing.

[ChrisFeener]

@ChrizzleA Hey man! The USB on my PODxt's been broken forever. But I can tell you what I use! MS-Angel P-Ball, Green 25's 4x12 cab with a 57 on axis, gate with -42dB threshold, FX-Boost +EQ stomp... then EQ accordingly! For rhythms, the same with a Big Bottom instead of the Powerball.

[Irishwunder01]

You rock my Cock Socks Off !!!

[TheCFCSteve1]

Brilliant!..... just briliant....

[Warhawk666]

The 5 dislikes are because they can't play it as good as you...

[Death88X]

sweet playing bro!

[megahurtz30]

awesome!! You rock !!

[StarsVico]

incredible.... kicks ass

[comfortjjc]

perfect

[KissMeImPunk]

What are the specs for your setup?

[sfh113]

Are the tabs you used for this and you just made it sound 10x sicker or is it all by ear?

[Rectanglectum]

I like how you do some of the runs legato instead of picking every note....obviously you could....but you're mixing it up very tastefully....cheers! Any chance you'll post some tabs? lol

[1994CarlosHenrique]

congratulations man your videos are fucking awesome

[iaksba]

You're good, man.

[monkeyskins666]

lol i bet this isn't even a challenge for you seeing as its like the 3rd time youv had to upload it to youtube lol.

[faithandpractice]

Nasty

[Austrelopitecus]

James hetfield playing megadeth with exodus t shirt? AWESOME!

SO FUCKING NICE MAN \,,/

[iaksba]

@Austrelopitecus xDD

[poyse]

dude that was fucking sick

[liam2194]

Holy shit lol awesome

[cgsoloman5000]

Why the fuck are you on youtube!!?? From everything else ive seen on your channell, you should be playing with satriani and vai man!!!!!

[cgsoloman5000]

@cgsoloman5000 Wow , its been eleven months since that comment was posted D:

and look at you, you got it in with infinite guitar, as well as threat signal :)

i knew youd go places bud , it was just fate haha. SO, from one newfie to another,

congrats man, you deserve it :]

[filipi346]

you hair sucked, now is o.k. by the way, u are the best guitarrist on youtuve i've ever seen, you are good, dude.

[NixxerJixxerWixxer]

dude, you listen to thrash metal a lot???

[ChrisFeener]

Not a whole ton, but I love thrash. Exodus/Kreator/Old Megadeth is about as much as I listen to on a regular basis. And Warbringer. I think I'm a bit bias as I had the opportunity to tour with 3/4 of those bands :P

[SleepingPeace]

Seriously? Would Megadeth be 1 of the 3?

[ChrisFeener]

@SleepingPeace Nah, unfortunately, haha. Kreator/Exodus/Warbringer.

[walshy0001]

@ChrisFeener

damn you got the oppurtunity to tour with those bands? do you mind if i ask when you where offered and why you didn't accept them?

[ChrisFeener]

@walshy0001 Huh? I did accept! I played with a Minnesota-based band and toured with them last summer.

[walshy0001]

@ChrisFeener

I remember hearing about that and i knew that haha. i was referring to when you said that you where offered to play with Kreator, Exodus, and Warbringer =] did you ever tour with them?

[ChrisFeener]

@walshy0001 Nono, I didn't mean I was offered to tour as a member of those bands, I just meant the band I played with went out on tour with those other bands haha.

[walshy0001]

@ChrisFeener

ooh haha i understand now. that's still a hell of an experience though, and i think would definately give you bragging rights lol

[arnihl]

@ChrisFeener are you going to the big four?

[SleepingPeace]

@ChrisFeener You goin' to see Megadeth in July?

[UmadLoL]

@ChrisFeener Three of my favorite bands :P you are fucking amazing bro

[wolverine6511]

Good playing...but I love the Exodus shirt more!!

[normskis69]

I really like your takes on these songs you cover.  Really great mate!

[insidiousvertigo]

at 1:35, the intense finger stretching is the same pattern more or less as the outro to "the gargoyle" by pual gilbert, right?

[SubGunner]

How could you NOT rate that 5/5? jesus man that was awesome!

[Jkv2666]

man this is the SHIT !

[stickdude566]

i hate it when guitarists put in their vid description excuses on why they did poorly in the vid, even though they didn't do badly at all!

Good work man, keep it up :)

[blast3000]

"So I recorded a new one. A few mess-ups, but what the hey - haven't played it in quite a while. Atleast this one is "watchable"."

----> F**k YOU!!! THIS WAS INCREDIBLE!!! ( I'm not really insulting you, but it's my way to say that YOUR'E DAMN GOOD!!!)

[Zangetsu28]

Wow man, that was probably the best cover of those solos I've heard. Awesome job man, keep shredding!

[ibanezzer1]

Fuck Chris Broderick. You are the only one worthy to replace Sir Friedman. I hate Chris Broderick's choppy solos. I like that they aren't copied exactly. You got creative, especially on Dave's solos, which needed it anyway. 11 out of 10!!!

[soccerfreak27]

yo dude wat amp or equipment do you use on your myspace recording?!!! thnks ur awesome bro

[shuraja7x]

SICK guitar !!!!!!!!!!!

[kalfen]

WOW! truly fucking INSANE! \m/

[Telebiters]

hoooooollly fuuuuuuuuuuuck amazing O..o

[ReggieWinsor]

METAL!!!!!!!!!

[mafoie]

god!!? it's you???

[Pablito73X]

Wow!!!

[DreamyGhost1492]

Nice Exodus shirt. BONDED BY BLOOD!!!

[Telebiters]

duuuuude, youre a fucking proo xD

[JulienDAmours]

holy god...man you really have acheived the perfection on this one....truly awsome man.

[yingyang90]

yeees fucking nailed it loved 1:59 nearly jumped out of my seat lol

[yeste28]

one of my favorite megadeth song, and you just nailed the solo section.

AWESOME MEN \m/

[sufosia]

Very very nice...5*

[SatanKreator]

fucking awesome and u got long hair now

[SKiLLeDcs]

Good shit I must say.

Good backing track

Good tone

Good playing

[DaveStigs]

I like how this solo has evolved for you, when you watch your first cover of this solo, then this one it really shows how you've gone from great to remarkable. Congratulations this is a great cover, right there with your other covers.

[ShadowOfDeth1]

good job im currently learning this solo

[PancakeSaysRwar]

wow dude, amazing job. how long have you been playing?

[Drewb18c1]

it's not so much how long you've been playing, but what you've been doing with your time. I'm Feener's age and have probably been playing about as long as he has (since I was 13) but to say he's 100x better than me would be an understatement.

You've got to constantly practice and make sure you're learning new techniques and improving the techniques you already know. Music theory is also essential if you're going to be writing music.

[PancakeSaysRwar]

uh... thanks, but i just a simple question...

[wafflecushioned]

just kiddin

[wafflecushioned]

its fake!

[itsTylerandChris]

Haha, I mean those solos*. My bad!

[itsTylerandChris]

Amazing man. You nailed that solo.

[fatpeoplerule2]

Fuckin ace man!!!! i remember seeing you in minneapolis you fuckin blew my mind with your fuckin solos!! you still with epicurean?

[kemosabix8]

D'addario is the only way to go. XD Thanks again!

[kemosabix8]

Hey Chris what gauge of strings do you use? I've been curious lol.

[ChrisFeener]

If I'm in standard E tuning, I use 10's.

In D standard, 11's.

[ElliotsGuitar]

What actual strings do you use? Ernie ball? Thanks

Elliot

[ChrisFeener]

D'addario for the most part!

[viddelt]

Hi chris. What do ya do for a livin??? Do you work with music in a way, or is it just a hobby? How often do you practice??

Just askin chris, you're an amazing player

[syntheticalnothing]

Chris absolutely flawless as always!!

[JoshOfDarkness]

Yeah they are a lot more known but so what? That just means he's more popular.

He did fuck Metallica over in there early days. Thrash fucking sucks and thank god they kicked him out.

No, Vocal talent comes down to range and what you can do, dumbass.

Vocal STYLE is all about taste.

All Dave Mustaine does is fucking snarl.

I'd much rather be able to scream low/growl/screech/etc and sing then just snarl. You can do a lot more with your voice. Dave's too limited.

[TheExtremist123]

at 1:49 is your Pinky made of elastic you moved it so damn fast there Dave Mustaine ain't Got Shit on you :P

[RAZor4138]

haha love watchin ur videos man .

[campwater]

1:36 ... you just destroyed mustaine haha

[tallicafan86]

dude you're a fucken animal. next in line after broderick for sure lol

[KirkLHammett]

BRAVO !!!! if megadeth needs a new lead guitar, really i vote for you!!!!!

[Sheko1]

perfect, i love your guitar playing man im a huge fan of your tecnique, just awesome.

[mikedarrel]

perfect man

[Doomzdayxx]

Damn you for being so much better than me!...wait, actually, everyone's better than me FUCK!

[JoshOfDarkness]

Megadeths work has always been pretty mediocre.

[ChrisFeener]

Well, that's completely subjective.

I tend to think most technical death metal is god awful, but if that's what floats your boat then I won't "blanket-statement" it that way as a genre or any specific band.

[DreamEclipse]

Are you using the Pod-XT directly into your computer/recording interface here? That's some monster tone right there.

Also - Is that guitar stock or have you messed around with the pickups or something? Who knew a KoRn related signature model would sound like that, lol.

[walshy0001]

seriously i can't believe you said that, seeing how you listen to fucking all that remains and killswitch engage, the definitions of mediocre bands

[JoshOfDarkness]

You're false.

KSE actually has a vocalist that can SING. Dave is a terrible vocalist. All That Remains vocalist is alright. Guitar wise, I'd have to say Mustaine wins just because he's been around a lot longer but the guitarists in all 3 bands can play. I'm not doubting Megadeth's musicianship and skills. I'm just saying their music is fucking terrible. Thank god he didn't fuck over Metallica. He already started to with Metallica's earlier stuff.

[ChrisFeener]

Let me just say that, as a somewhat seasoned musican, I cannot believe you haven't aquired a more "subjective" mind-set thusfar. I mean, Bob Dylan "can't sing", Neil Young "can't sing", but their huge for a REASON. They can write great music, and their voices are one-of-a-kind.

"Their music is fucking terrible" - Come on, dude. There's a difference between constructive critisicm and just being a dick. Metallica/Megadeth BOTH evolved with time and with musical seniority.

[TheUltraViolence]

flawless

[bucketheadmyhero]

uhmm do you use your pink on your left hand much?

maybe it's just too fast to where i can't even see it ha

but it seems like you don't make use of it often during your solos

[lugerman]

He's using it quite a lot, for sure, when it's needed. I can certainly see it.

Not that it matters in the slightest, heh.

[ChrisFeener]

It's not that I "don't take advantage" of having that fourth usable finger, it's just, for some reason when I'm not using it, it tends to flail about making it quite noticable haha.

[bucketheadmyhero]

XP fair enough

regardless, you have a virtuosity to your playing that amazes me every time

keep it up, man

[mitchwolfs]

Flawless, I enjoy watching your vids very much.

Really like the tone too.

[ice9001]

Spectacular

[TravisSimpson]

dude fucking amazing

[raiden233]

watchable and perfect:D

[megabassmasta]

OMG...wow

[PetrucciFever]

Perfection! Your monster skills seem to increase without limit. All-time hero

[billmeedog]

That was just FU&*ING NASTY!!!

WOW!

You're probably already aware of this, but in case you're not, YOU'RE ONE BMF of a PLAYER man!

[Matt23488]

1:58 was PURE. FUCKING. EPIC. you have got mad skills, my friend.

[kirkwells101]

i agree dude , i also think he added it himself

[Kintral]

Just...amazing

[FleaFunkFan69]

the K-7 is back!! :D

[belgiumstefan]

The one that starts on 1:36 looks so crazy... Insane stretches, well done man.

[vanhalen0222]

[MichaelERutherford]

[Lotarro]

[Darkvinx88]

[Kris18kool]

[IPawnNoobs]

Awesome as always Chris.

Must say I like the new tone better.

[ComfortablyNumbed]

I think your old one was better in all honesty.

[endlessfuneral]

100 stars!

[dragonforceisfav]

YES

[thepoison1627]

fucking godly

if i didnt know better, i would say you were hacking real life

[irishdragon735]

[blissbomb1988]
