You Give Love a Bad Name solo

[80slover93]

which model is that

[stateofmindrocks]

@80slover93 It's an "OLD" Harmony guitar. I'm not sure which model though. It has a great sound that seems very balanced. I'm just running it through a Roland MicroCube amp with the gain and the tone knobs cranked, and a bit of reverb to round it out. Nice and simple. :)

[MidiJet72]

Cool !!!

As for the tapping part, actually it is hammering with just a pick sliding and afterwards some wammy bar added... Check for videos from 2011 live performances of BJ !

[stateofmindrocks]

@MidiJet72 Your so right. The whammy on that guitar is a bit messed up so I had to improvise.

[NukleheadMcSpazatron]

i think sambora writes the best solos ever

[stateofmindrocks]

@NukleheadMcSpazatron Me to. You can pretty much sing all of his solos by heart they are so good.

[MrCedrick212]

ang pangit

[jaca6614]

Wow, nice job! Odd, I thought the tapping part was supposed to be played on the B-string, but I guess it doesn't really matter.

[perseusbeatkraken]

What the heck!!! Fail but I still give you five stars lol it's a bit different but the only dude that can play richies solos and not fail is well richie that's just what I think I mean I'm still gonna fail at learning and playing them but he's just the sambora solo machine king

[MrWoodoop]

microcube ftw

[001katana]

wow! how did you do that? 00:16 - 00:18

can you tab it? or do you have any tab posted?

response pleasse... by the way what a distortion/drive!? it rocks

[stateofmindrocks]

@001katana You can just leave your first finger on the 12th fret and then hammer on and tap both on the 15th fret. While your doing this slide your tapping finger up the neck. Good Luck!

[mickzster]

that was AWESOME :) gd work man

[davizin1]

great even without the harmonic in the beginning!

[chessbond13]

excelent perfomance i almost can play it but on the part of the chords before the slide part i have some problems on the strumming pattern can you help me :D

[lancer47n]

tapping was slightly too fast

[sonicaidan37]

K you've gotta show us how to do that!

[sonicaidan37]

Wow...

[highlander101279]

crap

[beano1eye]

@highlander101279 film a video response if you think you can do better DICKHEAD

[beano1eye]

@highlander101279 Like your shitty version of Sweet Child O Mine, that's all out of time???? lmao

[KirkevoldJR]

tror ikke du klarer den William

[yz250ToNy]

sick as sound mate what guitar are you using can you send me the tabss this rockss

[ruidml]

0:21 what efect do you use? that sounds like an elephant its amazing!

[nizamnavigator]

Get the tremolo bar my friend. Good job!

[StuS153]

at the start i thought this is gonna be crap but that solo does kick ass and that guy lol

[Chanak02]

y only 4 stars? the world is fucked up. 5/5

[moyyaj]

hey this man is Wow !!

[SumitNotHuman123]

Awesome!

[MAIDEN2]

Good!

[AHG94]

Cool!!!

[herogodman76]

amazing

[supermarshmellow95]

If I could ask a request, could you do a lesson on this solo. All I need is the solo, and people keep doing solos, but I need to learn how to do it in a lesson form. Help would be greatly appreciated. Awesome guitar solo. Bon Jovi would be proud.

[Yanksfan2344]

not to say this is bad because its not, but richie didn't tap when he did it, the sliding sound is from the pick not his finger

[lambosnicko]

haha i tried this today and sliced my finger open doing the taping slide thing :/

[l0ney45]

careful dude.

[TheLimo64]

@lambosnicko OOOOH ouch :/ did that the first time i ever tried tapping, sliced my entire index finger down the middle :/ couldn't use it for weeks! XD

[Skimotaje]

tu si que suenas mal, el solo esta de puta madre

[luquitaslati]

no te das cuenta que suena mal!!!? no tenes oido mogolico

[19900723]

the idea is good by adding a R&B feel to it

but its too much offbeat when you are tapping and scraping~ try practicing while tapping your foot first~

good guitar btw...

[empoleon948]

cool!

[ESPLTDSA2]

Good job!! Watch my attempt if you're interested...

[crazykoshi]

this is really good.. :D

[andrewd556]

i thought that was pro ...should do another one with the rest of the music going would sound great

[jonbonjovi321]

u are amazing you shood relly do a lesson n the hole song u are gr8

and wat amperfywer settings do u use

[kalevala1317]

awesome! you should play the hole song!

[hernancornejo01]

dude, you sound great!!! what type of distortion/drive are you using to sound like that?

[stateofmindrocks]

Your gonna laugh man, It's just a Roland Micro Cube on the Rectifier setting. I'm glad you like it, I think it sounds awesome to.

[keola310]

@stateofmindrocks where you get tabs for song? the site I'm using says the solo is hammer on pull of on tabs 8 and 11 so. 8-11-8-11-8-11

[juandela]

not bad, just make sure you staccato palm-mute that last run, brotherman.

[123789h]

not so bad

[thepottyfan1]

cool

[pablitoTV]

great solo man.. i wonder what notes do u tap on the tapping part???

[stateofmindrocks]

You can just leave your first finger on the 12th fret and then hammer on and tap both on the 15th fret. While your doing this slide your tapping finger up the neck.

[misterjustincool]

hey can you send me those tabs

[stateofmindrocks]

Pretty soon I'm hoping to put them online so people can check them out.

[myalxaccount2]

i like tabs too, send it to me plz, and try play iron man, by black sabbath, it is easy and sound grate.

[steveo198632]

sorry but that was really poor

[stateofmindrocks]

I don't think that you are sorry steveo15682436. I think your name is pretty poor.

[tzacguitarhero]

ha u dissed him!

[JokerAgentOfChaos]

I'm trying to play this solo, but when I pick each note, it doesn't sound right. Thoughts?

[stateofmindrocks]

Do you mean all the notes at the end? If so then try to use hammer on and pull offs where you can. See if that works. Good Luck :)

[memyselfenderest]

I'm working on the solo too and came across comments from brad666guitarist a few times. And I have to say: man stop commenting others, I've checked your personal page and your guitarplaying is really bad. But I'm not surprised, people who can bearely play have often the biggest mouth.

[superandi91]

pretty much mistakes

[stateofmindrocks]

Much Pretty Mistakes

[samuraijackson]

where did u get the tab 4 this? good cover.

[Lara0003]

this is a good cover ;)

[randomsonggenerator]

Thanks man that's really nice. I want to put another Sambora solo up here but I'm not sure which one to do.

[mulvey92]

This is gd man and u play the tappin part really well n i like the pinch at the end nice stuff!!

[brad666guitarist]

dude sorry to say this that sucked look at guitaristjesse2442's videos

[randomsonggenerator]

turd.

[trueblue902]

good job dude keep it up

[dimarzioooo]

Nice Ex , what is your gear , your tone pretty awosome

[stateofmindrocks]

Thanks man. It's an old Harmony guitar thru a Roland Micro Cube with all the knobs turned up to 11 :) I think that the Micro Cube is the best thing to happen to guitar since sliced bread.

[guguglu69]

This definately the most helpful solo video for learning the solo. Thanks for posting it! [2]

[GuitaristJesse2442]

wrong but it sounded kool any way

[DJ80s]

This definately the most helpful solo video for learning the solo. Thanks for posting it!

[baloo1975]

I'm just about to learn this solo, and been browsing through the videos here... I can say this is far the best of all! Respect for playin' it like that! You ROCK dude!

[stateofmindrocks]

Thanks! I was hoping that putting these solos up here would help someone out. Good luck with the solo :) you ROCK!

[griffcore]

hey nice job. im not trying to be an arsehole, but the first divebomb is meant to be a pinch harmonic, and also after each swiped tap there is a dip on the whammy bar also, have the bar set so its stiff pointing towards the neck to make it easier. its super quick but if you listen real hard its definately in there. nice job though

[stateofmindrocks]

Ok Thanks.

[GuitaristJesse2442]

nice job

well played

hope you can look at my version in the video responses

with the red strat

jesse.

[Irfro]

this is how a person should show off their solo online. no backtracks

[joejoyce2011]

dude play ur amp louder i could here u picking

its kinda distracrting otherwise good job

[ffx93]

it wasn't as good as thelordofthestrings1991 but still good

[stateofmindrocks]

Uhh Thanks? I think. I like Richie Sambora's the best though.

[Museownz]

O.o

[stateofmindrocks]

I like Muse.

[Museownz]

Great! ;D I Loooove Them.. Best Ever

[pregobc]

nice

[reahb]
