Phish - It's Ice

[dtheater14]

damn.. great job man

[rplaughl]

We should start a band together, we could rock face. Do you have any originals on here?

[Rjc0316]

NICE brotha

[tynnsey]

hell yeah man respeeeccctttt my nigga u are good i gotta learn this. i will one day. what is the hardest phish song in your opinion, i want to learn, landlady, famous mb, reba, its ice, glide, and guyute.. just learnd yem

[johnm14]

@tynnsey I think all things reconsidered is the hardest phish tune. It was the hardest for me to learn completely by ear. And the easiest for me to forget. Every fucking note..

[stagemoney]

@johnm14 thats nuts... i found all things way easier than this song to learn.. either way, well done man

[tynnsey]

how trey remembers how to play all things reconsidered i have know idea, its from a different universe. it reminds me of bach, and betovin

[desertfox202]

You show us how great Trey is. Soul Vs. Copy This will always seemed fast and pushed. A great lithograph. That being said I love you and you are one of the best.

[desertfox202]

really, really nasty. I can't wait for the M14 band.

[desertfox202]

John, regarding your reply. You know that you don't need a lot of equipment to get a good level to record. Any simple hard or software mixer will do. Blaming your equipment won't work either. You are too good for that.

[johnm14]

And I didn't have any mixer. That's a video camera.

[desertfox202]

Great player! Nice not responding to our comments... You will be the only accountant in your firm that can play this song....Good Job!

[desertfox202]

fantastic regardless........

[desertfox202]

Really great stuff! You are an fantastic player. Please learn how to record. You are RED all the time.

[johnm14]

Thanks a bunch man. It was just a video camera so it just is what it is ya know? This was a long time ago too. I was playing with stupid effects through a stupid amp and thats kind of a stupid guitar. My tone has matured immensely since then. If I had my own camera i would post videos constantly. Just jamming. But alas.. I do not.

[therealchestymclobes]

You look fucking baked. Good playing.

[johnm14]

I'm not lol.

doubt I could do that baked -_-

[tortlecone]

thats great man. chord progression?

ive been trying to learn it/

[johnm14]

Well the verse is like: Bb Bb F Eb G Bb Db B Ab B G F A E B Bb Chorus: G D Dm7 C G D F D Weird changes. But in some phishy way they seem to make it work.

[Formula405]

You've got a great ear. Needless to say, I'm more than impressed. However, recognizing your genius, I beg you to reveal the theory at work in the song and the scale and arpeggio forms being used (and how and why), espcially in the introduction and between 2:32 and around 3:50, or as much to that effect as you can.

[JizzFaceLover]

dude, jonm14, don't pay mind to the negative comments until they post themselves doing it better. tell them to post them doing the crazy arpeggio section from David Bowie better than you before they talk shit. keep it up man, very impressive

[johnm14]

Thanks a lot jizzfacelover.

I really honestly appreciate it lol.

[poopjohnson1]

That was pretty sweet. Hey is that an ibanez ajd91?

[johnm14]

Schecter C1 plus dude

[richiemabie]

PHAT ! REAL NICE TONE

[divad1818]

you're right. you don't need a metronome bc you're playing up to speed and along with the recording. awesome playing. will check out your other vids. awesome playing.

[kdeezy212]

Just remember people will always try to put down those they are jealous of. Good Job my Phish Phan.

[silverdy357]

excellent job buddy! just finished learning this myself. beautiful guitar as well, just purchased the schecter c-1 e/a semi hollow. ever make any of your own music? if you do, id love to hear it.

[bc74o7]

you really need a metronome you rush almost the entire time. no rythm either. mega props on learning it though. you do play it well you just need to work on the rushing.

[johnm14]

I don't really know what you mean..

I may have rushed some phrases, but I was playing along with the recording from Live Phish 7. So there's no reason that I would need a Metronome.

[bc74o7]

metronome so you can practice your timing and your fluidness. i saw your david bowie video you can get through the composition which is cool but if you can do a good jam o those songs its just important. you just need to practice some more. your really good for 3 years. metronome everyday will take away the sloppiness and timing issues you have. whoch there are a lot but props on learning them.

[Smurf502]

a metronome to practice you have horrible rhythm and timing is what he means. and its realy sloppy.

[achmood21]

respect. do you play out with a group?

[RebubulaXsea]

you lucky bastard!! I cant play for shit!!keep it up, the guitar work i mean, we all know you cant keep the other thing up!Peace

[justgreen33]

great job, especially on the solo. Live Phish 7, right? You must have listened to that a million times to get it down that well...

[faketrey]

nice job.

[tomkts07]

prs custom?

[johnm14]

Hah! no. schecter c-1 plus.

[tomkts07]

interesting.

[killeriller]

You really blow my mind man! Amazing how good you play this song, and can't believe you nailed that solo so accurate too... I've been trying to learn the riff, but just cant get up the speed. Any suggestions how i can learn to play it like that?

[johnm14]

Practice way more than you should.

[rsanck]

David Bowie!

[johnm14]

It's on it's way

[buckmack46]

this is sick, and if you're taking phish requests then mine is golgi apparatus. You gotta love it especially if youve seen Bittersweet Motel. They're talking to that girl in the parking lot with the golgi solo in the background. I've always been a fan of the emotional music. I am H2, fast enough for you, but there are too many to list. I've watched all of your videos and forwarded them to my sisters who toured with Phish for a year in the early 90's. Thanx and keep it up!

[jackrudra]

Rediculous...You writing songs yet? How about some originals...

[muj510]

whoa

[briguy1700]

you are the man! i'm learning YEM right now and so far I've mastered the intro. It would be nice to see someone play it as a reference though.

[sneakypower]

I was just reading John's comments and came across yours. I just posted a YEM that might be helpful if you want to check it out. Good luck.

[polishsausage]

Its good to see a sick guitarist play some Phish on youtube. Awesome playing dude. If you would be so kind to oblige, I would like to request a you enjoy myself cover. ty,
