i was about to rant about yet another obscure yet expensive handbuilt humbucker guitar with no discernible soul but that one actually has real character!
@whynottalklikeapirat I actually paid $400 for it. Raven West are very pretty guitars which give the illusion that they're pricey, but they're really affordable. ravenwestguitars . com
@rrescozoo5 Hah, thats funny. Well - coming from my ridiculous mac built-ins i liked the sound. I've had much more expensive instruments sound a lot crappier so i guess frequencies count for a lot with crap speakers. But even taking the price difference between europe and the states into consideration i'm amazed its possible to do decoration like that and still make it sound original as well within the price range. You happy with it?
@whynottalklikeapirat It was a great deal. The feel is amazing and it has a really smooth clean tone. I have been a bad guitar owner and still haven't upgraded pick ups from stock (it's been 3 years!) but overall it was well worth the money. I don't really see myself getting a new axe anytime soon, but I do need to find some new pick ups :)
@Yoshi17th Honestly, it was money... I had my heart set on Berklee, but when I couldn't even qualify for a loan big enough to go... I had to prioritize. I'm still doing music!
@rubenzall Thank you. I took more of a "showcase" approach than a "song" approach. Going back, I probably should have done the latter... but you live and you learn :)
@YanmingYuMusic My name is Sam Friedman :) There are links to check out / download my music for free in the video description. Thanks for listening and for the kind words. I really appreciate it!
You are really great man ever though about doing Berklee Online and just taking longer to get your degree I mean in reality you will probably not learn that much it sounds like you have pretty good style of your own going. godspeed man great stuff
I'm just wondering what the goal of that piece was like what style you were going for... it was good, but to me it just seemed like a bunch of random notes... good job though.
lot of notes but not sens....But very good technique.....
For my point of view this is just arpegios with reverb with that good technique u have you should try to say somthing with your heart and close your eyes.....
such lovely playing and tone man, wishing you the best of luck...those harmonies until somewhat 2:30 were gorgeous...the rest was a bit too much for me, but your abilities are great :) thanks for sharing
although it looks like 6 different songs compiled, you have an amazing sense of music and technique... Your band is amazing too! I checked it out... Keep the new things coming, but work them out in a solid way.. i think you are on the right track!! cheers from portugal mate
Awesome song. I am also to berklee next semester (guitar major) and just needed a little advice on which kind of song to play. Can anyone tell me if you think giant steps by coltrane is good enough to get in?
Awesome song. I am applying to berklee next semester and just needed a little advice on which kind of song to play. Can anyone tell me if you think giant steps by coltrane is good enough to get in?
You should play whatever you feel shows off your playing-style the most. Berklee is looking for people who have originality, creativity, and talent. Not just people who can play difficult music pieces. :)
@l2udolph I completely agree. I did this audition when I was 17... I was a bit preoccupied with showcasing my technical ability and got a bit lost... I hope others don't make the same mistake as me. I got in, yes... but I could have gotten in with a nice scholarship perhaps if my piece was more expressive and melodic with maybe a dash of technicality. It's over now, but all in all... I say play what you love and what makes you yourself, not something impressive.
Watching this video, all I could think is this dude likes him some Phish, and then you bust out YEM, great stuff man, you're hella good, good luck on whatever it is you aspire to do musically
BRAVO!!!! that was an audition of auditions and berkley will surely be fortunate to have you..i know you have gotten many comments and critiques on this but i guarantee this will get you into Berkley. it had everything one should have in audition and thats everytihng you got!! you showed skills in all areas of playing including a vast repertoire of chordal knowledge and theory as well as a myriad of technical skills most only wish for. they are lookiing for a diamond in the rough and u r a 50ct
sounds good man! congrats! (: hey one question! /: do they let you play with amplifiers, and... distortion pedals and stuff? (sounds stupid) but i'd like to know please! (: and backing tracks? jejeje any way thanks! and once again! Congratulations! \m/
@afroconnor117 I never went... I received a pretty nice grant of 20k, but even with that I couldn't make up the rest. Berklee is about 60k a year... so I'm just making my own stuff around town now hoping to get my way to a big city / music school.
@rrescozoo5 Dude im practicing for berklee to but as u said its really expensive. i recommande you check out schools in Austria vienna. the edjucation is great and i heard some of the schools are even 1-5 k a year .. and i heard it was better tha nberklee because in berklee they give you a computer and u learn from therre. in vienna teacher teaches u everythhing .
All that great technique is wasted. You are saying absolutely nothing. When you do get into College you will learn to harmonize. I don't mean that you can't play chords or runs arps. But the continuity is missing. I look forward to hearing what you sound like once you learn to put melodic content into your playing. Good luck!
Just picked up a used RG450... mostly based on this video; I saw one for sale, and then scoured youtube for a review or video. I'm not much of a jazz player, though I love the genre and have to applaud your playing...
On mine, I installed a set of Dirty Fingers pickups... it's rock machine now!
is that a schector or a PRS? looks kinda like a languedoc but i know paul doesn't use those venires and the sounds way too bassy to be one, enlighten me :)
@rrescozoo5 i have some questions that i would appreciate you answering: are all of the guitarist as good or better than you, what style of music do they focus on most, how do you get in?
First off man, killer guitar. I mean its possibly the most beautiful guitar I've ever seen. Great technicality man, just a bit over the top with it though.
@hollowtones13 Thanks man... Looking back I would have done things entirely different. I was really worried about getting in so I tried to throw in as many styles as possible and display the most technical skill... to be blunt, I was naive and just trying to wow them. If you look at my other videos or check out my band, I write a lot of music with more simplicity and structure, but a year ago it didn't click with me to play that. Anyways... glad you like the guitar. It's a Raven West RG450 :)
I think you're a great player, but it dosent seem like you've every played with a band or anyone else. If you honed your skills and learned how to put a song together, you would be golden. Congrats on getting into berkley tho.
i think if this where slowed down and a good bass track and drums where behind it it would sound great! also if that all happened then alot of dynamics and phrasing would make this peice sound great
ok anyone interested in auditioning for Berklee: your audition does not have to be complicated and complex like this! They are looking for talent, not "omg look what this kid is doing with a guitar! wtf!". This guy is doing his own thing, and i respect that. but it might discourage some people. I just got accepted for Spring 2011 and i audition with good old "Blue Bossa". instead of crazy shreding, i put "feeling". Its the "feeling" that will get you into Berklee.
which of the songs did you play for the audition? If you played both, which would you say was more significant to get you in, the cover or the original?
keep things simple dude, u got way to much goin on, more notes with fast speed does not make you a better player. you can definitely play but i would tone it down a bit
easy on the delay-lay-lay-lay-lay-lay-ay-ay-ay-ay...
and make sure that before being musically complex, it's nice to listen to, I'm not gonna listen to music just because it's complicated. if it sounds good, I don't care if it's only 2 notes.
@PoposNewGuitarChan if this is an audition piece then showing skill could be more important than being "good to listen to", even "if its only 2 notes".
HOLY SHIT!!! I wanna know how he plays now :P

They are looking for talent, not "omg look what this kid is doing with a guitar! wtf!". This guy is doing his own thing, and i respect that. but it might discourage some people. I just got accepted for Spring 2011 and i audition with good old "Blue Bossa". instead of crazy shreding, i put "feeling". Its the "feeling" that will get you into Berklee.

which of the songs did you play for the audition? If you played both, which would you say was more significant to get you in, the cover or the original?

I love it. It's like a journey.
For everybody that is commenting on this not being "music", welcome to the world of not-pop. Meet Art Music.

keep things simple dude, u got way to much goin on, more notes with fast speed does not make you a better player. you can definitely play but i would tone it down a bit

@bimwopbarn Since when do musical notes on a guitar not constitute a song?

@bimwopbarn who are you to say what a song is or isn't?

@08theWilderness He is a listener and a listener can have his/her opinion. There's no point in making music if nobody listens to it.

easy on the delay-lay-lay-lay-lay-lay-ay-ay-ay-ay...
and make sure that before being musically complex, it's nice to listen to, I'm not gonna listen to music just because it's complicated. if it sounds good, I don't care if it's only 2 notes.

@PoposNewGuitarChan if this is an audition piece then showing skill could be more important than being "good to listen to", even "if its only 2 notes".
