Brad Paisley Cliffs Of Rock City - cover by Muris Varajic

[DaveManDude0]

@1:29 i can tell by your face your feeling it haha, nice nice work man!! I learned this from watching you. Thanks!!

[murisv]

@DaveManDude0

Glad it helped, cheers. :)

[qtipbluedog]

Awesome cover! I've started learning this song using the amazing slow downer for the fast licks. But I can't seem to hear the notes very well at 2:02 for that run that he does. What is he playing there? It looks and sounds like F# pentatonic at the beginning with chromatic notes mixed in. Great job again sir! Hope to be able to play like you someday

[murisv]

@qtipbluedog

I think it's C#m pentatonic. :)

[galleon30000]

Bravo Muki-!!! ★★★★★ guitar player!

[Mikeyo335]

That is sweetness -- Please tell me that toook more than a few days to learn that tune -- Or should I just set my guitar on fire  :)

Bravo !!

[MadTopHat1]

I literally think this is the best video of a cover instrumental on Youtube.

[jenspyck]

Dude!!! Im speechless!

[murisv]

@jenspyck

Cheers. :)

[TheLadaboyy]

i think this i just 100% perfect:D

[murisv]

@TheLadaboyy

I did my best, thanks. :)

[benjamin670]

Love the Harmony choices bro!

[neil1957johnsen]

Can you tell me how you do the sweep picking bit in the second verse section? i.e. what chords you're sweeping please if that's not too much trouble? your playing is very impressive, i am trying to learn it for a exam for my degree!

[murisv]

@neil1957johnsen

I think the chords are Aadd6, Badd9 and C#m add9 eventho I am not sure if Brad plays it with sweeping

as I never saw him playing the tune, he might be using hybrid/chicken picking for those arpeggios, cheers. :)

[darkvoid86]

What pickups are you using in that Tele? Shame the company doesn't have a website from what I can tell........

[fierceblade2]

Love that harmony part added at 1:28!

[zlajamarki]

Fantazija !!! Nadodavo si  mi nekih finti !!!

[guitarttactulear]

[psychofunksoldier02]

Very well done sir!

[murisv]

@psychofunksoldier02

Thank you!

[hitthecouch]

It sounds like Brad Paisley ripped off Eric Johnson. It's nice though.

[murisv]

@hitthecouch

This song is actually Brad's tribute to Eric Johnson. :)

[ehog]

Outstanding man. I just discovered Brad Paisley recently. I want to learn the entire Play album.

[murisv]

@ehog

Play Album is just amazing, yeah. :)

[philzeeb1]

[SokSa]

if this is your "bummer" I am dying to see your "cheer" :)) amazing job man.

[alithegreatest34]

holy crap! that was perfect!!! it's such a pity how there's such a lack of Brad Paisley guitar tabs out there. since you learned this by ear, it makes it even more impressive. this is one of my favorite instrumentals by him, along with Departure, Kim, and Throttleneck. i love this!

[gmark9393]

What is your set up? it sounds amazing

[stratcat3142]

One word-............ Phenomenal !

[MrBeachHound]

[bluesman1981]

[MrYoter]

Great job! Can you tell me the chord progression for this? Thanks!

[kestrelrace01]

dude. so good.

[TenSpeedOfCoheed]

Wow, not only was your playing spot-on, your tone was absolutely perfect. Great cover.

I agree with AugieDog6, as well. Those harmonies were badass.

[murisv]

@TenSpeedOfCoheed

Cheers!

[AugieDog6]

hotdamn some of those harmonies you threw in there sounded siiiiick

[murisv]

@AugieDog6

Thanks :)

[GuitarJacksonkvx10]

Great vid, you should totally do a lesson vid for this song, for the guitar challenged lol, like my self - stunt it!

[aldertguitarist1]

Great Cover man! Busy working on the same song. Just not playing it in same positions and stuff. Great Job!

[murisv]

@aldertguitarist1

Yeah, you can play those licks in many different positions. :)

[teddynall]

Is there any way you could tab this out, or give us a SLOW lesson on this song? Fantastic job!!!!!!!!!

[HammeredAndHorny]

A lesson would be great... Awesome cover man, I've set my sights on this song. Your video's really gonna come in handy.

[alphabetazulu]

Can I ask what pickups you're using?

[murisv]

@alphabetazulu

Pickups are from GuitarFetishdotcom

[bluesman1981]

@murisv i know that, but which ones?

[murisv]

@bluesman1981

I truly have no idea, it wasn't me who installed them but luthier. :)

[Guitarist2098]

excellent....amazing, could you tell me a bit about your sound/setup? great tone balance, what size strings?

I learnt this song back when the album came out and thought i had a good grip on it until I saw your vid, can't believe you played the Steel Guitar part SICK!!!! UBER SICK amazing.

[murisv]

@Guitarist2098

Setup was very simple, Tele into E-MU 1820m interface using GuitarRig 3,

I used Elixir 009-042 strings.

[djpotter6118]

WOW!! Awesome job it looks like you had fun with this song.

[murisv]

@djpotter6118

It's always fun, thanks tho. :)

[djpotter6118]

WOW!! Awesome job it looks like you had a lot fun with this song.

[tidesweptshore]

You're an animal. That is all.

[Mikeyo335]

Greatness !!!!

[Kishic]

predobroo svaka cast..U kojem programu koristis ove ritmove u pozadinii ?

[murisv]

@Kishic

Procitaj info text. :)

[soinyat]

incredible my man incredible

[barabbas9]

By the way folks, Muris ain't some kid with nothing to do with his time. He's a pro. Check out his website and learn about the man. Muris dot varajic dot com.

[barabbas9]

133 posts, all liked it! Duh! The violin part at 2:43 was good!

I was a "student" on GMC, where I first heard of you. Too many Wankers there. This is actually easier to play than to TAB. When I get done with it I'll post it & a link to TAB.

Lots of talent on Guitar Idol, but I thought you were best.. Jack T was good, an obvious Andy Timmons influence there, quite melodic and sultry, but you're better.

If you have stuff you want TAB'd, let me know. I've done it for others, love to do it for you.

[murisv]

@barabbas9

Sorry for delay and thanks, I'll let you know if I need something to be tabbed! :)

[teddynall]

@barabbas9 I would appreciate if you tabbed it the way Muris does it.  Even if you or ANYBODY can do a slowed down lesson of this song it would be wonderful.

[teddynall]

@barabbas9 He would LOVE for you to tab it out, just for me!!!!!!! LOL. Well, I would appreciate it, anyways. :)

[xujhad]

If you ever have extra time, you should really tab this out! i cant find tabs anywhere. ):

[xXTeneciousKXx]

Man you are an incredible guitar player. This video has helped my transcribing of this song so much. Im just now getting into the Whole Country genre. Obviously I chose Paisley as my inspiration. Any tips on how to improve my Country style playing? any particular Licks that might help?

thanks - Kyle

[VoodooMusic001]

Svaka cast Murise,najbolji si!!!! :)

[BEGuitarist777]

holy mother................TEACH ME !!!!! please

[machogriz]

what pickups do you have in this guitar?

[rgj51876]

you really looked as though you are enjoying yourself playing this!! Good pickin, sounded like brad to me!!

[OrangeAmps]

hey man any clues on to what setup you're using in guitarrig? would like to get a similar sound of my guitarrig program as well.

[murisv]

@OrangeAmps

I really don't know as I don't have favorite preset or something,

I always start from empty rack and then add pieces by taste.

[Tri3Face]

Excellent

[Timerrin]

I was enjoying that right up until you starting harmonizing and doing your own little things - that's when I starting really enjoying it. Great playing

[HDSM25]

One of my favourites of Brad Paisley's guitar songs. You play it perfectly. Thanks

[rgj51876]

GREAT job and supurb tone man!!! 5 stars on this one!!!!!

[darkokure]

volim sve dobre gitariste,al ti si mi najdrazi!

[murisv]

@darkokure

:)

[bradpaisley94]

awesome job bro what kind of guitar is that??

[murisv]

@bradpaisley94

Tele from KM Guitars, a small custom shop in Bosnia owned

by a good friend of mine, Mirza Kovacevic (MK).

Cheers. :)

[LLaurenZZ]

Great!!!!! Have you ever tabbed it?

[murisv]

@LLaurenZZ

I haven't :(

[OrangeAmps]

Awesome man, rock on! Love the tone, love the super clean playing. I'd die for a tab but I read you figured it all out by ear so I guess I've got some work to do. I would be very interested in knowing the magic behind that incredible tone though! Can you clue me in on the pickups used in the MK and perhaps the amp and recording mic? I've really been trying hard to track good country licks and any help would be great.

ROCK!

[AyanRafique]

Too me for a reason it seems like Andy Timmons drew some inspiration from this song onto his song "Resolution"

[YummyBananaFish]

Playing along to the song itself isn't a bad thing really, it's great practise for accuracy, which you have nailed I gotta say.

[murisv]

@YummyBananaFish

You have a point there in a way,

it doesn't let you improvise in any way. :)

[YummyBananaFish]

@murisv Good point man! Although good to be able to practise in both ways.

[ozricsoup]

that tele sounds amazing! once again u never fail to please.great job muris!

[kentsanders]

GREAT PLAYING! I love this song. I have two questions for you: How did you figure out the fast licks, and what effects are you using? Thanks for sharing this video.

[murisv]

@kentsanders

I used Guitar Rig 3 and I figured out parts by listening.

Thanks! :)

[AnnBright]

juat amazing man u did a great job u hit every single note that brad hit ur really talented man

[murisv]

Cheers people. :)

[norriscarolina]

man, i was hoping someone had a good video of this song on here. Looks like i found it. thanks. like the harmony

[peelopuu]

[sikkiboy]

[lstcougarlady]

Muris, awesome job my friend. Sounds great and the visual quality of your video camera is excellent as well. As always your work is most definately top-notch.

Greets from Canada

[kahall12]

[sunhouse76]

nice!!

[anthoman333]

hey wht kind of pedal or affect are u using to get tht sound

[GuillermoSmyser]

I didn't even know Brad had a song like this! You are an awesome guitar player which I already knew but you have shown me that Brad is a lot better than I thought! (and I knew he was pretty good)

[ivanguitar87sa]

amazing you're a very ver very good palyerr:D

[PdashT]

Nice sound! What pu's are you using?

[kaznerov]

Great work Muris, as always! Nice song!! I didn't know it, but now i do ;)

[conradicle22]

[bbook1997]

[aatt7]

You make difficult things look easy

Veliki talent (I hope Google's translation is correct :) )

[viddelt]

He smiles cause there is nothing more fun than playing guitar :)

[Edis90Vienna]

Mrak jarane :D

de mi reci sto nisi makar uzeo od

(Fender) Telecaster sto od MK-guitars???

hehe

[murisv]

MK je MK. ;)

[Edis90Vienna]

@murisv

hehehehe :D

ok

[alphabetazulu]

what pickups do you have in it? im building myself a tele and id love to get that sound, also what amp are u running that through?

[murisv]

There is no amp here, just Guitar Rig 3.

Not sure about pickups tho, must ask the builder,

cheers.

[dhan523]

Great man. Nice cover.

[martyr84]

That smile @ 3:19 was cuz you did the lick perfectly :P?

[murisv]

Nope, smile was at 3:12 but you tell me why. ;)

[ndzlatar]

Predobro sviranje, prelijep telecaster :)

[krokodiljasko]

hehe... tolko puta sem pogledo taj video, da čak znam šta muris misli u specifičnom dijelu muzike... evo recimo u intervalu od 3:16 - 3:21 misli u sebi (šta čak i osmijeh potvrđuje):"stvarno sam majstor, nema mi ravna do Japana..." :P

[murisv]

Greska. :D

Izgleda da ipak nisi gledao video dovoljno.

osmjeh ide na 3:12.

Zasto na 3:12?

To je pitanje za tebe. ;)

[mccask13]

Muris, great job as usual. Love the way you phrase - I can feel the emotion.

Your lessons on GMC are the best!

[schmalolz]

any advice for practicing licks like some of those chicken pickin ones you did? i have a few cool pentatonic ones down but theyre super easy. thanks - tim

[murisv]

Advice for practicing should be practicing, very logical!

But as for learning new licks, well, pretty much the same,

you have to learn new licks note wise and then practice them

in different tempos etc.

Pick any solo that you like, slow it down if needed, go note by note and them practice what you've got, best of luck. :)

[MGDizzleDawg]

I no longer think Brad Paisley is lame hahahaha.

You look awesome with the goatee btw.

[LBagoly]

Your style and your knowledge is wonderfull!!!

[6rosebudX]

prepreprezakon

[Traxid]

predivan komad teletine majstore!

svaka cast za cover... odlican izbor ;)

[murisv]

Zivio. :)

[MrVaisatchie]

amazing! nice tele, what pickups did you use?

[murisv]

Not sure of pickups, must ask the builder. :)

[dbikeguy]

and i sit here thinking of brad paisley as lame country musician. then i remembered hes the only one i really respect because regardless of his genre, hes a kick ass guitarist ha

[murisv]

He's great, yeah. :)

[icemuzic]

wow..

[Timmyr5]

Awesome job dude! really. I played this song for an audition and you killed it. nice work with the sweep and arpeggio parts especially!

[murisv]

Cheers. :)

[krokodiljasko]

mašina od čovjeka... nešto si mi smršavio murise...dal te nešto sikira?? :P

[murisv]

Ma ova recesija me slomi. :D

[Dan1loBr]

wow... telecasters look kinda ugly to me ;x

Nice song, I hadn't known the artist until now xD

The riff @ 0:50~0:57 seems quite familiar(as the one before it)...

Some parts of the solo were really interesting xD

Those pickups sound really nice, I wonder what's the difference in sound between them and a humbucking pickup...

5/5 ~

[RamiroFeichu]

Great job Muris!

[GoRdOnUE]

Nice job :)

Love the 2:45 lick

[Vizzie87]

great playing my friend :D. cool telecaster i like it :D see you Muris.

Regards,

Ekrem

[jar2089]

i haven't heard this song before...great melodies...well done Muris
