In A Gadda Da Vida - Iron Butterfly

[russiantoughguy]

wait a minute, this sounds like Rock and/or Roll

[extinctpunisher]

Lol I had that guitar! Good times... good times...

[sqwuade]

Nice! Sounds real authentic. What effects box(es) are using to get that sound?

[Fretfeeler]

Not bad! I'm posting my version since noone seems to do the chorus part right!

[kiraichizerokun]

Variax?

[omgitzruffles]

damn just like it what do you use to get that effect?

[imitator365]

I really like the way you play the song my lead guitarist need help on the parts of the song right after the beginning we have a band called the ultimate dominion we prophetic rock ,is your guitar tune down or at the right pitch . get back with us thats John and Jerry

[Fretfeeler]

@ - it is in D minor, standard tuning, but there are some weird parts in there.

[brandontylerkaiser]

alot of half steps

[Gibsonrocker15]

haha nice guitar..... im kidding

[vanharvey003]

this song only takes like 5 min to learn i did last night

[randomboiis]

i do from the simpsons lol Awsome song

[jgstargazer]

If the neighbors are about 60 years old they are probably bobbing their heads to the music. Groovy, light a match for an encore!

[chrisXDfull]

lol 17mmin version idk he'll last that long standing up

[progjazzfusion]

you're not playing the right notes except for the first few of the main riff...i learned this song at your age so it's not that hard to get it right

[bassmatters]

Happy to see a younger generation playing this good music. Also check the Van Beukenstein version of this song here on YouTube. Great band! Excellent sound quality!

[scort8888]

You're way too sober and clean cut. Grow long hair and a beard and don't shower for a couple of weeks.

[jasonmildward34]

5 STARS AWSOME JOB!!!!!!!

[Nassam01]

Nice, I'm attempting to learn it..

[wertiscool1]

Play the 17min version lol!

[sendanor]

Woaw!!!! TheiSixthSide, I am very glad that someone of your generation also still gets moved by the IB tunes!! I was born in the year of this hit album, so too late too alas but I am glad the IB fan front still attracts new members!!!! Keep up the good music man!

[maseram1234]

i listen to it. and i played it on bass and drums

[santan25]

nice!

[amathyst8]

killer ^^

[commentingaccount101]

Originally it was "in the garden of eden"

but he was literally too high to pronounce the syllables correctly when he wrote it, so the band just decided to stick with "in a gadda da vida"

[TheFire9595]

great job

[drzfynest65]

Wonderful job! Is that a First Act Double Cutaway, btw? She's a beauty! ^_^

[detekteideutschland]

[residentevilwiihelp]

first act lol

[beat68]

Good job! I heard this song for the first time two days ago and liked it very much, so I wanted to learn it on guitar, next day I found the song in a guitar book I just had bought, and I didn't know it was in there lol. Good video anyway ;] 60's music ftw!

[tracker001]

Good cover.

It just maybe the recording, but just a tad more bottom to the tone. (More growl ,if you know what I mean)

[HippyLaken]

Hey Can you give me tabs for this song man? Thanks.

[bacofishtaco]

Yea me too!

[juanitobanana5]

DISNEYFAN sucks

[XxXGuitarPickXxX]

i listen to in a gadda de vida when im stoned to be honest with you...

[adozenlies97]

[chazverado]

Nice job. Thanks for sharing.

[cattymanly]

6th Side,

Damned good job. Keep up the good work.

[xBlake4]

Lol, I have the same guitar as you

[TheSixthSide]

Haha thats hilarious. I gave this guitar to my cousin awhile back. It sucked... although the crate amp I have now like makes it sound really good haha. Too bad that guitar looses its tune so easily. I would have kept it.

[skaterdude67323]

nice cover note for note

[vanuaturocks]

Another good song to do is "sunshine of your love", good cover

[FIXed2]

Sweet! Keep it up!

[LoverzCry]

3 things.... 1: Plz perfect before fiming...

2: You screwed up on the intro, fix that and 3: Check texas... i dont know why, but alot of texans listen to Iron Butterfly... go figure.

[Nevermore2007]

im texan and we dont listen to them

[makeupmystique]

He is atleast doing it. What are you doing?

[LoverzCry]

Not wasting my time trying to learn my grandfathers song, and trying to write my own shit you noob...

[me5g435rg]

your grandfather has a better taste in music than you do

[vanuaturocks]

look guitar is a hard instrument, lets see you do better

[xoxabiibaxox]

isn't it in the garden of eden ???

anyway great playin

[TheSixthSide]

There is a few stories behind it. The one I know of is they played the song drunk and he slurred his words so bad that, thats how it came out and they changed it to that. But it's defintely In A Gadda Da Vida

[me5g435rg]

thats probably true

[me5g435rg]

(in a garden of eden) i think its what sixth side said or they just wanted it to fuck with people

[robocop1993]

no in the studio they were so fucked up on acid it came out "in a gadda da vida" im sure the intention was in a garden of eden

[yrod6]

man that was really good. you think i can get the guitar tabs for it?

[CIAGuitar]

NICE!! REALLY NICE!!! :)

[timkim72]

GOOD JOB!! KEEP IT UP!!

[mad87645]

[ziock3]

[kevindjbardoe]

Very cool man :)

[ibkod]

In A Gadda Da Dumbass

[TheSixthSide]

I have about 70 other people that would say the opposite of what you said. So go listen to some Emo music, loser.

[ibkod]

Hahaha is that directed at me?

[TheSixthSide]

Of course not ibkod it's directed at all the other people who said they liked the video.

[Disneyfan73]

pussy. Emo shit. Listen to real music

[JoeyForonda]

dude this song was written in like '68, emo is all the crap on the radio today...pussy

[Disneyfan73]

lol i know dude calm down... XD I was talking to the other guy who posted some shit about this song. This song rules. I replied this comment to the fag earlier who posted some shit about this. Classic rock is the all time best.

[ETONG426]

I agree fuck the shit the rest of my generation listens to, it's complete bullshit

[1atlanta1]

yea dude disneyfan73 is gay as hell just look t his name disneyfan what a fag

[ETONG426]

stop acting like you know what you're talking about

[Disneyfan73]

me?!?

[1atlanta1]

you fucking fag, dont look at this videos if ur ganna talk shit about it

[lpjammin]

Disneyfan: You're gonna talk that shit about Iron Butterfly... but your name is DISNEYFAN!

I'm sure we could all take lessons from you about "real" music. Maybe the theme from Cinderella would be better??

[Disneyfan73]

DAMMIT! I WAS NOT TALKING ABOUT THIS SONG!!!! FUCK! I'm tired of you pricks "telling me off". I was talking about this emo kid who commented earlier and said that this music is shit. I fucking love this song. So Fuck off and Read all the comments before looking like a Cunt

[Jreynolds9592]

That wasn't in Beauty and the Beast

POSER DISNEY FAN!

[KingPurers]

He's OKAY I guess...

[CDX825]

Nice!! Great song and sounds like you hit it dead on to me! You could show all these people who think that riff starts out on an open D a lesson! BTW did you post that on any tab sites?

[TheSixthSide]

Actually I got it from Ultimate-Guitar Haha. You know when I first made this video I figured I would only get maybe 1-2 comments and it's actually been my most popular.

[NIRVANA4evr]

WOW ur pretty good

[thebandit70]

Very good just need to be a little bit heavyer

[sha4096]

well done, LSD is not always necessary :)

[xvampbeautyx]

welle veryone starts somewhere, though keep it up, adn youll be doing some lgato soon, ubless you do already, idk how old this video is atm

[tcn2341]

what is this!

[TheSixthSide]

huh?

[dirtymexican863]

If your going to take the time to post a video, make sure it isn't of something any guitar player could figure out by ear. Go play in traffic...

[TheSixthSide]

Haha, you can figure any song out by ear. =P

DUH.

[sweetendday]

dude who cant play it by ear im sure he did to he just wanted to show i guess

[SenfD]

nice man 5stars

[dan1taylor]

demagosthene (3 days ago) Marked as spam

you're such a fake! this is not a guitar melody that your playing it's most like a bass line you can't put any chords in your version is that too difficult! , r u stupid ...... have u even heard the song?

[WanderingReina]

Woops, me Gadda-Da-Vida, me bads!!

[WanderingReina]

Wow it's awesome that you can play guitar, none the less, " In the Gadda La Vida Baby " Nice skills :D

[demagosthene]

you're such a fake! this is not a guitar melody that your playing it's most like a bass line you can't put any chords in your version is that too difficult!

[TheSixthSide]

have you ever heard the song? =\

[thomasvsspy]

nice, dude. the camera's sound isn't the best, i can tell your tone is pretty close!!

*****

[yamilzzzz]

Cool

[TuneInTurnOnDropOut]

Nice job, don't stop but make sure you grow your hair longer and wear paisley shirts. Keep the spirit alive!

[connorbowles]

your good but the song is repetitive, its the same notes... put something on here to impress me

[Syldrinha]

I loved it

[Fenderkid67]

cool...im in a band....been playing for two years......so ya im pretty good. i gues...i also sing....so ya were pretty good dont have any vids yet

[TheSixthSide]

hope to see some soon, be sure to drop me a line if you get em up.

[HardworkingAmerican]

Excellent playing. Stay with it kid. I like to see the younger generation appreciate the classic rock and roll music that I grew up with.

[ClassicRocker623]

rock n roll will never die!!! yay

[FloydIV]

Easy song, but who cares its kickass.

[TheSixthSide]

Yeah, I figured everyone would say it was easy and flame me. So far everyone likes it. =)

[Fenderkid67]

what kind of guitar is it?

[TheSixthSide]

It was a First Act guitar bought at wal-mart lol. Used on a Peavey Rage 15 watt. Horrible amp and guitar, but it sounded pretty good. That guitar man was down right horrible just plucking a string a few times throws it out of tune, but it was my first guitar and I didn't know what I was getting into. ;)

[Fenderkid67]

i at the moment have a telecaster....i love it alot...feels great to me....i want ur ultra....like how good is It? like are you in any bands?

[TheSixthSide]

not in a band. only been playing a year. it's a nice guitar, play it before you buy it. the neck is so smooth and quick it's insane. anyways be sure to play one first!

[benjimamacutious]

Thats really kool! mY band is trying 2 remake this song. I can play it on piano and my friend cand do the guitar My other friend is tryng 2 learn the drum part

[TheSixthSide]

nice good luck dude!

[fatcatbuzz]

I still listen to this shit. 60s and 70s music is better than the shit out today. None of it's got any soul. Rock 'n roll is the blues not some whiny fucking suburban asshole that bitches about his friend in every other song. Keep listening to the classics my man.

[Sonja2451]

I still listen to it every once in a while because I happen to think it's one of the best pieces of music to come out of the 60s. In fact, I plan on having it played - in its entirety - at my memorial service! And I think you play it very well.

[xaviervonrottie]

Great job! Keep it up. :)

[ClassicRocker623]

wow ur guitar really sucks!

well it was really alright playing. if u do the epiphone it will be better!

[mastermindsith]

the main riff has more sustain than that. try speeding up the music and playing along to that. that will help you learn how the notes run in to each other.

[Billykid514]

great dude the only real music

[avonlope33]

thats frickin awesome i luv it u need a dif guitar tho

[TheSixthSide]

I have an epiphone les paul ultra now so maybe i'll do a redo of this video. although a lot of people really dig it.

[devilworshiper06]

and im assuming you got urself a new DIFFRENT guitar?

[TheSixthSide]

yes Epi LP Ultra I have more videos then this one just click on my name.

[devilworshiper06]

what kind of guitar is that?

[TheSixthSide]

It was a cheap first act. Like 100 dollars.

[mattisprettycool]

good job!

[Fixa46]

Nas uses this melody on Hip Hop Is Dead.

[Sideler74]

you must be a teenager...

[TheSixthSide]

Yeah I'm 18??

[Sideler74]

I was responding to the comment that "Fixa46" left. The "you must be a teenager" comment wasn't for you. sorry bro, anyway... good job on the tune

[Ronnie7311]

sweet :)

[PaganHun]

I always think people are getting smashed when I hear this song

[meddetect10]

We did.

[stratfret]

i'm 52, and this was unbelievably cool when i was a kid. delighted to see a young dude also digs what i dug back then. i took up guitar last year- i may fav your vid,kid.

best of luck to you.

[kremer87]

i still listen to in-a-gadda-da-vida on the Vynal it takes up like 1 full side.

[stayfree079]

Sounds almost flawless to me. Awesome job.

[fabalooo]

nice ma nigga

[rwsmith29456]

I can't believe this song is still around. One hit wonders!

[weeterdog]

Kick ass Dude, but don't forget the Whammy bar stuff. I really need that for my spazz attack.

[RobertMathews]

Great stuff! Keep on playing! It's always good to get inspiration from the good ol' stuff.

[tsf4ever]

awesome

[elainedills]

Great guitar playing! Great to see this song lives on!

Rock on!!

[Efrasnel]

Dude, you're brilliant. Here I am 38, and picking up the guitar again after 15 years. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[nightblader1]

dude, you just went off the charts on my cool scale. 10/10

[xaviervonrottie]

Great job!

[blacksabbathalex]

iron butterfly es de los mejores grupos de los 60 y sobre todo esta cancion que es tan larga y psicodelica con un riff tan sencillo y pegajoso que fue de las primeras canciones que aprendi a tocar. bien tocado chavo

[TheSixthSide]

muchos gracias.

[DeathmatchTeen]

Damn that was great its really simple but yet i sucketh

[57goldtoplespaul]

well done what kind of guitar is that

[TheSixthSide]

First Act guitar, just like a starter guitar. I never thought i'd play guitar very much. I played that song with the First Act guitar and a Peavey Rage 158 transtube (15 watts). Now I have a Les Paul Ultra with a 65watt Crate.

[scanners1]

excellent song. An absolute classic and really well played.

[scanners1]

excellent stuff. It's an absolute classic

[dimehammett]

well done but i prefer slayers version =]

[nicola24]

That was amazing! I love this song... =D

[RileyCross]

Nice playing! The only thing that would be greater is nailing the drum solo in the studio cut!

[csetzer]

I gotta take guitar lessons! Good job!!

[TheSixthSide]

thanks for the comment and i've taught myself so im sure you can too.

[Nicles]

well played kid

[Sirbacon47]

Well Done :) Excellent song. 17 minutes of psychadelic joy lol One of the great guitar riffs of the drug era rock!!!

[Allmanfan456]

I KNOW THIS!! I love this song!!
