Kent Carlevi ZZ Top La Grange

[Nordstrom1990]

best cover of this song ever!

[xxpepyxx]

how does he set the camera to get that view?

[luuk341]

@xxpepyxx he has it attached to the headstock i believe

[FutileScreams]

isnt the solo he plays 2:08 - 2:12 from "good times bad times" by led zeppelin?

what am i saying? of course it is....

look the song up for yourself and listen to its solo and come back to this video and tell me its not the exact same thing! lol TDDY

[peterlostig]

@FutileScreams is´s just a normal pentatonic scale playing. Basic of improvisation. So many guitarists are using that lick. But it really sounds amazing;)

[menoxmaia]

Thank you professor.

was in my college days of music in Bauru, Sao Paulo-Brazil, I had seen you play, would change everything ...

thanks for being the Angel Guitarist Internet, thanks for giving me several rings, earned, earned Kent.

Clark is not, but it's superman!

Facebook: Kaue Moraes Ferreira

Thank you.

[sde628]

Dammit ! Video is too short!!!

[Connie26031992]

What is the name, of the song he playes in the beginning? thx allot

[CatDieselPwr]

@Connie26031992 I'm guessing it is Jimi Hendrix's version of the Bob Dylan song "Like A Rolling Stone".

[MyRockTube14]

how you make to record this position in the video?

[galleon30000]

Bravo !!

[konauno]

Go look up Steve Hicks, that's a guitar player. This guy is a basement hack like the rest of us.

[bkeener86]

@konauno tranlation he's better then you so of course you'd claim you're just as good but until i see a video you can contine to spread that bullshit.

[oldVideoGamesChannel]

@konauno Steve hicks? Yeah right, a real guitar player would be someone like billy gibbons for example.

[TheKillerFabivs]

OMG this guy is great!

[mohamedsucksdick]

Son of a bitch!

[fifty1fifty74]

Dig the flurry of right hand activity at 1:07 - Volume FULL - Tone FULL - Pick up selector switch to bridge - all in the blink of an eye, and then the big power chord. Love it.

[camden199]

IM NOT WORTHY!!!!

[danijelabajalica]

thickness of strings ?

[Rideandlively]

@danijelabajalica It looks like 9s or 10s

[EKAITO1]

this asome!!! sorry i don`t write english!!!! I am a mexican-1

[TheSoundCook]

You're the only guitarist playin right through a tonelab to a computer that i like the sound of. Word

[Maratuch]

amazing job!!!!!!!!! a real pleasure to watch thanx man

[sandimastodd]

Why talk shit? Just shut the fuck up and enjoy it. Duh!!!!!

[whitbyjet65]

I've just licked a rat. It didn't taste as ratty as I expected. Infact there was a subtle hint of coffee in the flavour with perhaps a little splash of cinnamon.

[bkeener86]

wow

[karib58]

I can say that Kent Carlevi is a good guitarist, but there is some lack of "taste".

Too clean, no mean, no attitude like ZZ Tops Tush, or other ZZ Tops songs.

He could have a nice carieer in studio guitarist, thats all..

[bkeener86]

@karib58 are you high? no mean listen again man yes in begining no mean but shorty after get's mean as hell with alot of attitude oh yeah don't lie because you jealous lmfao cause i'm jealous but i'm not a damn liar.

[blackbeltkarate]

@karib58 its a cover faggot, the point of a cover is to play an awesome song, your way

[Zieglers666]

Awesome!!!

[MarineWannaBe1992]

what is the song he is playing at the very begening?

[insaneMIKY]

@MarineWannaBe1992 its kinda like "like a rolling stone - hendrix" .. ive tabbed it ;D

[sniperfire00]

I don't care if he isn't playing the song how it was recorded. He did some sick improve. It shows talent

[cotyke]

holy crap!!!Realy........can anyone touch this guy?

[Jambrek]

Now this is music, not some untalented whore with big boobs, tons of makeup, and a voice that would sound like fat bastard farting if there were no autotune

[Andreas683]

Oh man.. Ive missed this so much. thanx fo uploading. And thank you Kent Carlevi for this. ok enough, on with my headphones and kranck the shit up to 11!!

[STEVENx4554]

its that an original song you played in the beginning?

[Nudelaldente]

That´s the way how a guitar should be treated. It s simply amazing

[crazygamer4x4]

Omg, thats the pick of destiny!! I knew it!

[CvanWesley]

im sorry, but those must be the lowest gauge of strings i've ever seen..

[sincityskywalker]

@CvanWesley compared too what ? boomers? saying your sorry on youtube means nothing if you have no talent.. don't hate on the guy just because you can't even come close to this, they could be damn bass strings and he'd fucking smoke your ass ... Fuck give him 3 strings on a damn kmart guitar and He'd destroy you.. admit it

[CvanWesley]

@sincityskywalker holy shit bro, i meant nothing against him haha, i meant it in the best way possible, i have nothing against this guy, hes a god, sucks that youtube took down in acct i enjoyed his covers, btw i have no problem admiting that i have no talent lmao

so just calm your ass down hola

[MrJsp428]

HA HA I agree slydog00a

[slydog00a1]

5 tools in the world!



[slydog00a1]

Fuck, the tone Kent gets is killer

[MrJsp428]

Good job dude! I have been toying with the idea of playing guitar. It looks like so much fun.

[slydog00a1]

@MrJsp428  best thing to do with pants on ;)

[leucatines3]

Hey What's the name and the author of the single song on that vidéo , just before La grange

It(s nice and clean !!?

[ZZroko]

@leucatines3

like a rolling stone

[enrikevortex]

muy buena version

[enrikevortex]

muyyy muy buena version

[johanbiff]

he realy knows how to use that axe!

[topgunmaniac]

any idea what strings hes using?? they just seem really easy to bend, im guessing a set of 9 or 8. since billy gibbons himself uses 7's

[Gompop]

5 people made a mistake. they thought the button said dis i like

[chubberods]

thanks I wounder what happened to it great pickin

[0003rc]

Way to Cool men ! Love it !!!!  :-DDDD

[Caal76]

5 people have no musical taste

[PrOtOtypeZZZ]

does anybody know the name of the song he is playing at the start?

[majjurach]

fantastic !!!! 5 Star

[GodImHideous]

excellent technique this guy has...wish we knew more about him

[videocircus]

@GodImHideous

He only ever gave one interveiw. He gave some clues to who he might be, but not anything solid. The biggest clue he gave in the interview was that he has "10 cd's full of material out there" Many have speculated that it is indeed Eddie Van Halen just having some fun on youtube. Others have figured him to be another well knows artist.

[porkypimp06]

Does anybody know what the intro is? Love the way it sounds!!

[deltablade69]

any chance of some of your tonelab settings ?

[iamtyler4life]

fuck the 5 people who dislike this...

[Budzich]

this guy rocks!HE FUCKING ROCKS!!!!

[curlys8up]

Look at the bow in them digits. Been pressin' some strings for a loooonnnnggg time! I wanna see Kent's face. Thanks to all that are still sharing your talent through the Facebook blacklisting!!!

All the best to a guitar master!!!

[ThePsychokater]

I want to play the intro .-.

[LavAzza1982]

I can easily call him the best Guitarist on YouTube

And I have high standards, being a Petrucci fan.... :P

[katodmx007]

@LavAzza1982 this dude is great, but igor is nr1 !

[LavAzza1982]

@katodmx007 Igor plays a different style, I know him too.

[6stringhawk]

@LavAzza1982 please listen to tom shapira.

[flanagansreach]

@LavAzza1982 I would agree 100 percent.

[eliasmusic1984]

Nice quality! Very nice cover too!

[shaker5585]

why was kent's videos removed? man he's awesome!

[Irina19621962]

Умница! пальчики твои талантливые! целую твои ручки!

[Otzendoerfel]

[dickiedick1962]

HELL YEAH!

[HarleyHummer65]

[SteveGLS]

[pillroller88]

[ThePsychokater]

[rafffe]

epic....

[SpecialK490]

Some crazy fingerwork on those solos there

[woernz]

wow.... just wow. all time favourite!

[sgman310]

2 people are jealous cause they suck at guitar :)

[Psyhister]

@sgman310 I jealous, I suck at guitar. But I still thumb up, because it's really pure awesomeness.

Hell, I want play guitar like he =\

[lucrosss]

@Psyhister how long did you play guitar ?

[Psyhister]

@lucrosss i barely can say I'm playing guitar. It's more like a spending time with guitar. In this mode it lasts for 2 years, I guess.

[lucrosss]

@Psyhister hum okay i play like 6 years ago now

[andretanggaming]

most delicious covers ever. I'm straight, but I love this guy. He's so good and makes it his own.

[sachin229]

God damn.... those harmonics.

[reviewteen]

fuck the 2 people who disliked this vid

[oldVideoGamesChannel]

@reviewteen I'm willing to bet those two dislikes were on accident, I've done that before where the mouse slips while I try to click on like but it goes to dislike.

[reviewteen]

@oldVideoGamesChannel i dont see how your mouse could slip when trying to like a video such as this, it just isnt possible, for videos like this youtube should put a dislike button on it

[uvit]

dva pitomci by to zahráli líp lol

[guitardude503]

ur guitar has bite marks on it, no offence cuz if i culd hav a guitar with bite marks i would take it p.s. check out my vids even tho they arnt as good as yurs im still tryin

[reviewteen]

@guitardude503 its actually wear, its not bite marks, those marks are caused from playing the guitar alot, since the fretboard is birdseye maple, it generally dosent last awhile, if u look at any of EVH's guitars, they all have those finger marks on them because he generally uses birdseye maple fretboards

[Steacy783]

@guitardude503 Those arn't bite marks. They're wear marks. Tends to happen to the poor unfortunate dudes who LOVE to play their AXES, day in day out ! 6-thumbs up,, opps we don't do that any more here do we !!? Oh yeah, have to agree with guitar dude I guess then huh !??

[widdlemonk]

Awesomeness  Mr Carlevi. Thankyou. ;-)

[sindrerb]

Which guitar is that???



[xxxapolloxxx]

@sindrerb id have to guess a peavey wolfgang.

[MisterRafiki]

@sindrerb It's a Musicman axis.

[TheCurseOfMetal]

@sindrerb Its the EVH(Eddie Van Halen) Wolfgang guitar

[NeriusLT]

@TheCurseOfMetal youre a failure :D

[TheCurseOfMetal]

@NeriusLT Good to know.. but probably you could tell me what guitar that is then if its not the EVH Wolfgang ?

[NeriusLT]

@TheCurseOfMetal ernie ball musicman axis

[TheCurseOfMetal]

@NeriusLT Fuck..sry :P 

[Kaioken90]

@TheCurseOfMetal It´s a Ernie Ball Axis kentcarlevi. com

[SultanOfMetal]

DID YOU REALISE THAT THE INTRO IS JIMI HENDRIX' LIKE A ROLLING STONE??

[AliceOnTheWeb]

like a pro... that's was a pure treat. And I don't even know the song !!

[Krabbenbaer]

like a rolling stone!

[RockChannelEurope]

@Krabbenbaer HELL YEAH!, i just had to sing it xD,

[JulRog]

@MetalmannW Who knows... with all those J***** B***** listeners out there...

but oh yeah! They ARE retarded :D

[blutelf96]

Great sound and great playing. Thumbs up!

[dontknowanameagain]

It was removed from his profile because it was too awesome, you better watch out too!

[aleksandarfriscic]

im happy to see no dislikes...not because i care,but cause there will be no bitches bitching arround and ruining video with comments like "20 bieber accounts" ._.

[guitarmanfender]

at 2:37 at the end of the walk down. he plays the last note, and theres vibrato on it. but his fingers, or his bar move. nothing against him playing. i just wanna know how it works lol. been bothering me since i saw this video years ago

[Motor2head22]

@guitarmanfender He probably recorded the track earlier and then 'playbacked' a version to videotape.

[guitarmanfender]

@Motor2head22 thats kinda what ive been thinking. just wasnt sure if thats what the deal was or what. at least im not the only one who notices it

[Motor2head22]

@guitarmanfender It would be a smart choice though; else if you screw up the solo or one of the riffs you gotta re-record the video all over again :p

[passionguitar666]

wath the song at the begining?

[sachin229]

@passionguitar666 "Like a rolling stone"...jimi hendrix version at MOnterrey Bay

[passionguitar666]

@sachin229 tanks alot dude:)

[mUsICmAnINYoMouF]

1/3 ZZ Top+ 2/3 Van Halen= a masterpiece

[Slashatrius]

Nobody can dislike this.

[elmontez1024]

anybody have the TABS to this?? i really wanna learn to play it the way he does.

[davidcool85]

@elmontez1024 wouldn't be right to tab this one out...just play the album version til your fingers bleed, then watch a ton of live zz top, then get drunk and high, then see what happens..improv baby

[vincent649]

omg this is what i call perfect

[aflockofmusic2]

just perfect

[anvil59]

excellent !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

[PunisherBBB]

The best guitar player here on youtube for sure :D

[Mr7ification]

lo mas chingon que he visto

[thuga2]

It got bored after 3:21.

[mcrmoz]

Wow!! Great playing, makes it look so easy. Longer version would be great.

[beyondalohas]

best ive seen yet 5 stars

[nainamrof]

truly excellent

[jovima69]

I hope KentCarlevi rears the head again someday... his videos were all top notch covers.

[JulRog]

This is the first video I see with 50k views and 0 dislikes! And I think there's a good reason for that: Pure Awesomeness!

[ilykwawawiwa]

@JulRog not now there isnt hehehehehehe

[DEMONPLAYER101]

@ilykwawawiwa Dumbass you ruined it

[ramjet81]

I don´t believe why something wonderful like this gets erased by youtube.

In the near future people won´t be able to sing happy birthday because the rights belong to Paul Mcartney? Pfff...

[THEonlyZACKGORT]

@ramjet81 nah ... Michael Jackson's estate probably owns it.

[Matthijs3476]

@ramjet81

Damn right.

Music isn't about rights and money... But untalented assholes don't understand that I guess.

In the end it's just words and chords...

[Mr7ification]

simply irresistible!!!

[hubbsCFH]

this is the way this is supposed to sound. this blows the original completely out of the water

[kippdr]

DAM

[boutabeastar420]

and the dumbasses that dislike this....

[Juggalo5588]

I like this better Than the Original By ZZ Top! More Metal, Not so old, Nothing against old, but this song is suited for both, But i like this one a lot!

[SBjorstrom]

Does anyone have any clue as to what cam he using for these videos? I tried to ask him on his YouTube page, then they suspended him. Idiots!!!

[spencer8857]

@SBjorstrom probably a simple web cam that's meant for your screen but he decided to put it on the neck. Just a thought.

[SBjorstrom]

I want to know what camera setup he is using. Anyone have any idea? It is perfect.

[RadzioTheGreat]

Damm you!!! Now i must go to the school and learn how to play on guitar like that!!!

[TheJesseMusic]

Just Amazing!

[JDoubleOP]

You'r the man.........great technic

[dadszx7]

im inspired...thanks..Keep up the great work.

[DonnieCallister]

hahaha ... WHY SHOW THE NECK WHEN I CANT SEE YOUR PINKY???? STOP TORTURING ME! :-P

still ... niiiice intro. like it a lot. and the neck cam is just a sweeeet idea.

[koss746]

what type of guitar and strings do you play on??

[dein0ne]

whats the song that you are playing first?

[Bluemoon4655]

does this guy have a youtube channel?

[reefturkey]

@Bluemoon4655 He did but it disappeared.

[Rski1234]

Great stuff man !

[smithmj54]

My favorite part is this sick camera angle!!!

[zaptoopp]

this guy is amazing...talent that is truly a gift

[gerby90]

1:58 - 2:02 really gave me goosebumps... sweet jezus i love this guy's tone and playing

[liedjaeger]

thanks for uploading kencarlevi's videos again...
