  • Comment removed

  • @cisco2fun1 Diamond series, Hellraiser. Pretty solid, actually really so. I use a Soldano preset from my effects preamp in my digital 8-track. Just tweak the EQ a bit and add a bit of delay or whatever. I've gotten better tones from it but I didn't spend much on this one. Quick set-up and improv here. Thanx much!

  • Spectacular tone and control !! Awesome style !!!

  • @Hefman1999 Thanx a million sir. I appreciate the words!

  • Love this EVERY TIME , Wildly good!! ♫♥

  • @JoSieLove2Sing4u Thanx a million! I hope that all is well.

  • kickass performance buddy...

  • @PGManiac Thanx a million sir. I've been away for a while and not online much. I still check in periodically and read your cool words. I really appreciate it and you have a great 2011, as well.  ApB

  • @aaronbergAPB

    No biggie, buddy ..

    Your style and performance remind me of my bandmade,but your skill is better by miles..

    BTW, I'm bassist but I dig in a great guitar playing video like yours..

  • @PGManiac Glad to have you here. Good luck in all your endeavors. Thanx much,  ApB

  • Hey, man that rocks !!!!

    You are really great

    We wish you all the best

    REMOODS

  • @remoods Thank you very much for the kind comment. I will check out more of your channel, as well. I'm moving east in two days and may not be online for quite some time. Lots to prepare for major shows as well. I'm in transition and will be in touch once the dust settles. Hehe, all the best! apb

  • Friend, this is a killer tone! God... fat and killer! I like this, you know?! Did you recorded in line directly on your computer? What is that processor efects? Very good, really good. Thanks for this work of art. If possible, get a look at my modest videos. I greet you :-)

  • @rasocomercial Thanx much sir. My tones change a bit as I switch up recording environments, but I try to keep things pretty consistent. I usually use processor with Soldano and Matchless settings. This was done direct out of Line6 Flextone III combo. Andy James did the real work here, I just iced the cake a bit. Thank you! apb

  • Great impro man !! you got great chops !

    It's so fun to see you rockin on guitar with your woolly hat and head phones ^^

    Cheers ;)

  • @Jadguitare Thanx a million sir. I enjoyed your entry as well. You the demon face and I the wooly hat. Hehe, you have great chops sir. Very kind of you to visit, Cheers!

  • You need a "volume warning caption".. Your intense playing, combined with my bose speakers has rattled my entire pen collection off my desk.... (extra thought), Now that the great "Ronnie James Dio" has passed , maybe one would play a homage.. (Rainbow in the dark / Vivian Campbell style), perhaps ?

  • @ziggy72170 You're really cool man. I like you. Very funny! Yeah, perhaps I'll put up a caption sir. Lou wants to do something from Dio and I'm just getting over the long distance recording vibe. It's note easy collab'ing online. Kind of a mess really. When I chill back out from my other songs in the works now, I will seriously consider an homage to Dio. Lou Giannone can sing him very well. I would like to create a Dio'esque tune. I'm partner on YouTube, so vid's must be mine exclusively. ApB

  • @ziggy72170 BTW, This is not my backing track, as it's a contest that all of whom participated plays there version of solo to the same piece. This was not submitted for YouTube partnership revenue enablement. If I ever did do a cover or remake literally, I would then just not submit such for review. When folks do that? The vid' is removed. Ciao

  • wow,you really are awesome guitarist,keep it up buddy...

  • @PGManiac Very nice of you sir. Just another player here and I appreciate your view, as well. Ciao

  • excellent solo

  • @JasonVoorheesLives Thanx much young man. I appreciate that. Ciao

  • incredible - yer quite the slinger Aaron - serious chops, and with great taste

  • @VirgilGuitar Thanx much my friend. It was a good time,  Ciao

  • Great stuff Aaron I see you've really improved real clean nice choice in notes, love the alt picking and tapping best of luck man

  • @kgtbest Thanx much for the kind words. You're vastly improving, as well. That's what happens when you practice. Hehe, I liked this first taker enough to just keep it and post. I didn't plan anything, just pushed record, played the backing track ( after listening through it about 5 times ) and went for it. If I selected nice notes? Sheer luck! Lol, apb

  • Damn bro!!! you freaking rock!

  • @pollin Thanx much. Glad you're back. You rock plenty yourself. Keep it up!!! apb

  • Excuse me while I scrape my jaw off the floor.

    Just superb, APB!!! :)

  • @zeal0us I am glad you approve sir. I really appreciate the rating and the most kind words on my attempt. I'm happy to be involved and I really respect your opinion. Have an excellent weekend. Thanx brother, you rule. ApB

  • @zeal0us Thanx for the words here. I miss being here, as I've been in transition IRL. Not much internet time for me for quite some time. I hope you are well and keep shredding my friend. Ciao, back soon! ApB

  • Your shredding is at a high end my friend!! I love it when you do kind of stuff Aaron. NO more stars to give but i give you 20/5. Dave theshredmann

  • Hehe, wow, thanx a bunch man. I don't feel special or that impressive, as I've expected to be much more advanced after 27 years playing. The fact is, I can co long periods of time without guitar at all and not really miss it. Life is plenty complex and creating a regular routine or sticking to a regimen has proven fail for me, thus far. In upcoming months I will be placing myself in a position with band/albums/performance live that will probably change a lot of that love/hate dynamic. Thanx much

  • Powerful performance, I do love it.

  • Thanx a million, your channel sounds interesting. Very nice guitar stuff, as well. I'm glad you enjoyed my one taker. I appreciate kind words on my worx or attempts at such. Keep rockin sir, I'll be around there a bit more soon. ApB

  • Thanks Apb! I like very much your entry, it's a completely different approach, you improvised this without repeating anything! Great! Just like Bruce Lee, no fixed positions, eh eh! Good luck!

    Gianluca

  • @RockGian Thank you, my other reply disappeared. Hmmm, the mystery of Bruce Lee. Hehe, apb

  • Holy Sh*t...Now thats how it's done folks! ApB you really tore this up man!

    Awesome job and the best of luck to you sir!

  • Hehe, thanx man. You really got me crackin' up here. That is a great reaction. You are top notch man, really. I have so much respect for you, so when you comment as such, it's very cool of you. Thanx for the wishes of luck. I'm already there bro'. I always like posting vid's like this and meeting new players. Mission accomplished! Cheers, apb

  • *Favorite* You better win!!! You SHOULD win! Dio Santo!

  • I can promise you that I will NOT win. I didn't enter to win, but more so to share and be a part of the collective. I'm not what they are looking for. I just like doing my own thing. I spent more time downloading the track, than I did in preparation. I just rolled the camera, set the Pro-Tools on record and went. I do appreciate your wonderful support in this though. It's very sweet of you. Thanx again, apb

  • You are so damn good, love to listen and watch you play Aaron ~ amazing stuff!!

  • I love listening to you, as well. This is a simple expression for me and not a lot of time spent, of course. This is a very linear, non thematic journey of notes. No structure, and just technical displays of muscle memory mixed with some vibe. If you think I'm an actual winner? That's fantastic and I accept this. Hehe, you're way kind. apb

  • Wow ~ Awesome! ♫♥

  • Thanx much young lady. I appreciate your kindness and talents, as well.

  • Great kicking ass stuff!

  • Thanx much, I enjoyed yours, as well. Cheers and best of luck sir.  apb

  • Some great stuff here. At first I thought you could have a bit more distortion on your guitar but when you hit that run at about 47 it was really clean and showcased your impeccable technique. Great job man and good luck in the competition.

  • First off, I really liked your entry. Nice chops and biting tone. Great vibe, as I believe vibe or character to be first priority of a player. You have this and it's not common. Nice! Thanx much on the props with technique. Yeah, about my tone choices? Well, I prefer even less gain than this, as the sound of the actual instrument is then more apparent. I would have been buried in the backing mix, so I just fuzzed it up a notch or two, as to cut through. I wish you luck in this, as well. Thanx!

  • Hey aaronn I forgot to ask you what brand of guitar is that white one? Ibanez perhaps??

  • It's a gloss white Schecter Hellraiser ( Diamond Series ). A big bang for the buck. I like Caparison, Vigier, ESP, Ltd, Jackson, Fender etc., but this one just grabbed me one day at Guitar Center here. I liked the color, the inlays, the EMGs are coil tappable and it's just a beast in one's hands. It has a real girth to it, as it is neck through the body and the neck is thick, but not unfriendly to stretching. I'm using it at one tenth of it's potential with direct, processed recording for now..

  • Some really cool lines there, loved the note choice!

  • I really dug your entry, as well. I am a firm believer in spirit playing, rather than just demonstrating monster arpeggios, and straight chops. A monkey can be trained to do such, but if one can feel the music, then the dynamic chops have a personality of their own. Your spirit was undeniable and your tremendous chops were just icing on that cake. I dig that a lot! L8

  • @aaronbergAPB Totally, most of the lines you played were not the run of the mill runs and arpeggios. I know what you mean about the dynamics to the chops, Totally cool. Thanks man.

  • I enjoy seeing all kinds of players and I like the diversity. I'm the player that I am, you are the player that you are and all are the players they are. I am consistently impressed with other cats here. This is NO competition, as like snowflakes, no two players are the same. Take care sir and thanx much! L8

  • great entry aaron...., your playing us very cool......

    good luck.....

    5*

  • Your playing is fantastic. I'd remembered you from Soundtrack of Summer, I believe. Actually, I've randomly hit many of your vid's, as certain players are just linked or tagged here on YouTube, and ya'll are the kind of players that I have my eyes & ears on. I do a ton of investigating players and I love seeing the diversity of styles in seemingly similar genres. I really don't like the term genre though. It represents a label and one cannot completely label anything artistic. Thanx much! apb

  • dude, sweet and sic work on that!!! awesome as usual!!!

  • I had fun with this. That's what it's all about. I appreciate the props and I wish you a great, peaceful weekend sir. Play on, apb

  • Aaron, yet another work of art!!

  • Thanx a million man, apb

  • Damn Aaron, that was some bloody nice shredding. I think I saw smoke coming from your strings at the end =).

    Keep on rocking!

    Seb

  • Coming from an incredible player as yourself, this has much meaning to me. This was a plug in an go. I listened to the track twice, set up Pro-Tools for a mix and just played through, first take. No working out details, just letting my ear and my muscle memory to run wild. Thanx much man, it is what it is. I'm not accustomed to doing things in this matter, but what the hay. It's damn contest, not an album. Lol, apb

  • such a work of art berg thank you so much for sharing keep it up God bless!! :)

  • Thanx a million for the kindest of comments. I appreciate your compliment much. God Bless and have a great weekend.  apb

  • @aaronbergAPB No worries man. Yer the action on mine is fcked too. Its crippling my fingers. Great work

  • I have the best luthier in town. He's 50 bucks per axe and when I get them from him, they play themselves practically. I haven't visited him in three years. Time to drop them off for a couple of days, cause when I get them back they play insanely smooth. Supposed to do this every six months, but I procrastinate much. Cheers to the blisters and pain,  apb

  • Very cool man. Nicely done!

  • Tracy you rule! I love havin' you by and making vid's is a good way to welcome your kind words. Much respect and happy shreddin'. Ciao

  • Sweet!

  • @BrevSullivan Thanx Brev, Always a pleasure to get some feedback from you. You're a monster player and props from you are very special to me. apb

  • @aaronbergAPB And thank you for the video. I enjoyed what i think are 7 strings under the melody.

  • @BrevSullivan Andy James' track is thick. Low B ( minor ) chuggin'. I enjoyed the tracks without any solos.

  • Pretty blistering. Great work

  • Blistering by definition. The action on this guitar is in desperate need of a set up. Been putting it off and it's like driving a semi through the desert. Thanx for taking the time to cmment and for it to be quite pleasant is refreshing.  Cheers, apb

  • great man!!

  • Thanx much!!!

  • hey man, hope your doing great.! KILLER job smoking over this backing track....ya some Lynch, but not really, its all you man, really nice stuff, continue APB!

  • This was really off the cuff man. It was a very humbling experiment. I love the fact that I can just see all of the reliant, tried and true muscle memory stuff just overpowering my melodic sense here. I think the key will be to get further from the techniques and more into chordal/modal/wider intervallic application. I will widen my scope of understanding, the chops will grow into that. Thanx a million, you're a stellar player. L8'er

  • Cool Hard jazz feel big guy. I am watching this very carafully and it's giving me ideas for me to how improve my self on guitar. Rock on my brother

  • Hard Jazz? Hehe, I like that. I may have a future in that genre. Lol, If you can get anything from watching my stuff, then I have served my purpose. You are improving roodbrood, you rock the mayhem like nobody rocks the mayhem. Thank you for the timely response sir. apb

  • nice my friend, its all APB, great chops dude, I LOVE the improv your doing.

    Hey I havent changed strings on my axe in over a year and a half, LOLOLOL! Its all good!

  • I'm a very theme working and rock style player. One that works out the solos and spends time hashing things out BEFORE it goes to tape. Not on this one and by no means am I really as adept at improvisation, as some I've been following on this medium. It's a rebirthing for me and the sky is no limit. I have strings, I'm just thinking of playing and not tech'ing so much lately. Hehehe, Thank you!!!!!!!!!! L8

  • Sweet solo aaron, kinda sounds like mr lynch, what kind of amp are you using? Ya know when someone gives you a complement like the one I gave you that's something to think about, keep rockin dude!

  • I appreciate that my friend. I know exactly, the magnitude of the compliment. I sent this to him on myspace. He sends me a message here and there. I just used my Line6 Flextone III on this one ( direct out ). It has a Soldano type setting and I just keep it there. I may be getting the real deal, for playing shows etc. Expensive amps, but it's Soldano. Thanx for the compliment, again. I'm tryin' here sir!  apb

  • Cool,a great solo!

  • Thanx Fabiano, I like your style sir. apb

  • cool apb... been out flying kites... you've been in wood shedding buddy. Nice job!

  • Thanx much Laurie. I still have to get this guitar set up! Very hard to play, old strings, and bad action. I've been playing more, indeed. I have a mentor in mind and I will progress with time. Perhaps one day I'll have a tech again. I'll just worry about the playin' then. Hehe, apb

  • heyy .. god solo man !

  • I'm glad you can appreciate my wanking. Great solo from you, as well. The pleasure is mine. apb

  • great techniques !!!

    ,more attention to melodic direction and chords progression!!!

    Gotty

  • I hear you BIGTIME. Much work will be done, so as I can then improvise with a lot more color. I tend to just blow through all the muscle memory chops back to back. It's pretty ridiculous actually. Thanx Gotty

  • Pretty amazing skill bro!!

  • Thank you Lai, I appreciate the nice words. One day at a time here and I am working on improvement in unfamiliar territory. Cheers, apb

  • awesome take dude, some killer lines in there.

  • Thanx much sir. I saw your jam on this. Just insane stuff. I like being taken to school and watching guys with more advanced intelligence. I need to practice a routine and pay attention to certain things for alloted times.

  • love it,,got that egyption metal feel..

  • I went for a different modal approach in the beginning and the end. I enjoy eastern and different note choices at times. Thanx a million sir. I really appreciate your opinions on things.

  • cool!

    you really go for it:)

    great jam!

  • Thanx my friend. It's great to hear from you sir. Keep on shreddin'!!!

  • awesome!.... just awesome.

  • Thanx a bunch sir

  • Great riffage Aaron !!!

    Mike

  • This is very tangent playing for me. I like to rehearse and work out themes, but for a contest? Nah, I'll save my energy for an album. Hehe,  Thanx!!!

  • very nice man

  • Thanx much sir

  • Aaron...you are the man...that just left me speechless...speechless...

  • Het, you are near and dear here bro'. After your comment, I'm speechless. Cannot wait to hear more about the collab'. I did a heck of a backing vocal on that one. Hehe, thanx a trillion.

  • My god, Aaron... the speed, and feel at which you play is just always jaw-dropping. I particularly loved those finger-tapped runs - so smooth.

    Dave

  • @PDXguitarfreak71 Sweetness bro', means much comin' from you. We love to play and sometimes it feels right. This was a first taker. No plan, just jam. Completely linear, no theme, just a journey off the cuff here. I could have planned some more interesting stuff after seeing some cats already, but what the hay. Thank you! High repect!!!!!  apb

  • Some very cool note choices and slippery phrasing there - great job :)

  • Thanx much, I appreciate the response. Shred on! apb

  • hey Aaron..I dig it alot! Cool shit man!

  • Very nice of you to comment sir. Killer playin' on your end, keep it real sir and thanx a million.  apb

  • OMG uyou should be fillin 10,000 statiums easy. You are a guitar god! Put this down on cd. I would definatly buy you albums. Incredible!

  • I should be touring within the year '10. I'm putting together a project out east soon. Female singer, ala Journey/Heart but more modern applications. Lots of heavy guitars! Some solos would be nice. Don't hear those in mainstream music much anymore. I wish to change that. I truly am humbled by your comment. There's no God here, just a guy that likes to create. Cheers, apb

  • AWESOME! That Sir is how you shred =)

  • Thanx S & S!!!! Keep bringin' on the shred bruthas!!! Ya'll rock hard! L8

  • Love the Greg Howe style slides in there! Great entry =)

  • I had fun wingin' it here. My hands just spaz out sometimes. It gives me a split second more to figure out where in the heck I'm goin' next.  Thanx much buddy! apb

  • One word! AWESOME!

  • Thank you kindly sir. Very nice of you to say,

  • Nice to see ur back, but with what appears to be some killer shredding, and new camera!

  • I am back in action sir, indeed. I haven't used my HD Sony cam' for a while and a can't say I've been playin' much either. Doing some Spring cleaning on these items and a backing track is a quick fix. Hehe, Thanx much! apb

  • nice man good job ! Really like the tapping part ^^

  • Thanx much bro'. I appreciate your listen, view and the props. Keep shreddin'

  • Hello Jaque S. This was a bit of a challenge. It took the longest amount of time just to download the track. Once I got it, I set up and just tracked it. Much thanx, apb

  • Thanx PGR, I always enjoy having you by. Keep rockin'! apb

  • Thanx a billion for everything. This was fun, apb

  • Totally Killer!

  • Coolness PTT, I am way stoked that you approve of this. Keep peeling frets in Tejas mi amigo y muchas gracias tambien. apb

  • Awesome Playing & Improv Skills Aaron!

    Really enjoyed this my friend!

    Dave

    Ireland.
