I know that this guy is not exactly flavour of the month at the moment but in the words of Andy Gray..."OOOHH What a beauty... take a bow son... you fully deserve it!!"
Serious Kudos for this..... Amazing guitar work :-)
@frannyp46 Cheers Franny, I need all the support I can get. I nailed the chords but come the trip down the neck my fingers seem to have a sort of epileptic fit. No offence to epilepsy sufferers, you could probably all play this better than I ever could......
Exelent. Just one small miss. After you do the intro hammer on from the fifth to seventh fret on the D with the open A a couple of times theres a quick hammer on, pull of on the G string from the 5 to 6th fret then back to the D string 7th fret before you go to the G, D, A. Repeat this 3 times instead of 2 and thats your intro
This is by far the best version on you tube., im well impressed. (this coming from a sound engineer for various famous musicians) Can you do any more good covers?
One of the best pieces ever written for guitar! You're fingering is really good man! Great stuff. This has to be 2nd place out of all the youtube videos. I think iwantogotoriu does best version of it :D
That is awesome, Any chance you could let me know were you got the tabs from? I've seached the web and can't find anything similar to how you play it.
Perfect except I wish you'd have got the neck of the guitar in, and you play A with one finger on 3 strings which is weird to me (I use 3 fingers on each) - This is IMHO the most authentic version that I've seen on YOUTUBE, now teach the rest of us how to play it :o) !!
You're the only one with a proper ear for music. All other attempts on here don't come close. That's almost exactly how it sounds on tv. You're a genius. It's (almost) perfect! I have an ear for music too, unfortunately i haven't started learning to play yet. bravo!
that was brilliant! well done mate. put it on mp3 or something, its really very good! keep up the good work, try and do some other theme tunes and songs and stuff!
yeah dude! thats the best vid out of the lot for the snooker song, sounds exactly the same as the original, well played mate! I've been playing for 9 years and i wish i could play like that...
Absolute quality, well done.
