[finnfan2201]

sounds great!!!!!!!

[skinheadvn800]

well done!

[macaronieandsteeze]

hey awesome video ive been usin this to learn the song what do you play at 1:00 after you play the 4th fret 4th string is that the a cord?

[1125112511251125]

toughsong to play eh just such trippy riffs in it i find, good job thou man

[PicciProductions]

I can never get the solo down, and I doubt that guy who said it's not hard even plays the guitar. Mike Campbell is the most underrated guitarist ever

[philadendron]

@ch3rrysunbur5t I'd be interested to see your version. You should post it when you finish it.

[andyt9002]

I like it a lot, especially that ending solo

[WhatProductionsGames]

FAKE.

[philadendron]

@WhatProductionsGames That is the funniest comment I've gotten in awhile. I guess maybe I should be flattered. Thanks!

[WhatProductionsGames]

@philadendron man, the sound its very good to be real, so perfect to hear

[axeman7000]

@WhatProductionsGames ...Just stick to the video games and let the real guitar players rock......fake=LMAO

[bigbboy12]

dude you're sick! :P... how long did you take learning this song?

[llanelliboi69]

Nailed it!!! 5 stars :]

legend!

[GuitarManCN]

idk why people are hating on this. but it's really good.

[utesman67]

To thegenral07, I know what you mean. I was workin on the solo to the waiting and I thought it sounded good but it just isn't like mikes. He must be a magic man. I can NEVER get his sound. By the way good job to the video. Sounds good.

[jerejohn]

LAME!!!

[skunkey12345]

dang dude! you sound like the real guitarist!!

[BrucePetty]

can you put up a tutorial on the "oh yeah, all right" part? or just any part.

[Bulldogs74840]

the chords are the barred versions of G7, A7, and D7

[MrBlackNC]

did you just buy the guitar looks like a tag

[fullermt0705]

Very nice dude! Great cover!! Keep it up!!

[mtrawczy]

Good job dude one of the few covers on youtube that comes close to the right rhythm

[maco258]

bravo

[thegeneral07]

does anyone have a tab or any idea of what mike campbell plays on the live version to finish the song? i have some idea but i can never get it to sound like mikes lol

[freeocean3]

Lo quieres hacer tan bien que se te va la mano............PRACTICA!!!

[freeocean3]

saca la etiqueta de la guitarraaa.....

[bonjovilvr3]

great job!!

were'd u get the tab??

been trying to play this song forever

[pheadrus77]

awesome, great job

[djoe1961]

Nice job! Very lyrical presentation. I liked the price tag, too bad you didn't keep it on. Novel idea. You have nice tone, a great ear and thanks for sharing. Keep playing.

[PunkRnR13]

That solo at the end is a bitch for me dood lol

[philadendron]

I kinda faked it. I'm pretty sure it's much faster triplets, instead of what I played.

[PunkRnR13]

Oh hell ya it is lmao

My hand cramps when I get into it.

I play like half of it and I end up grabbing my hand cuz it hurts ha XD

[luiscile]

....amazing....

[deweypug]

Nice job - cool guitar sound - ya' still 'av thee ole' taggah on it...

[BlueBaboon481]

i love the bridge <3

[BNSFuzz]

i can dig it. those 50th An. strats are beautiful!

[JackoTheMonkey]

hah you walk around when you play

i do that with guitar hero

[jh1597]

haha i can't stay still when i'm playing either

[stormthorgerson]

guitar still has a tag on it?

[philadendron]

Haha, yeah. I'm weird like that. I took it off not long after that.

[Graham60543]

The best cover of lead guitar ever

[DontGiveHimTheStick]

I subscribed to because of this video!

Please make more!

[prettycountrysong]

great!

[JeffehMT]

Excellent

[ForThoseAboutToRok]

you wouldnt happen to have a tab for that would you

[philadendron]

No, sorry. I usually learn from tabs, but I just sounded this one out. That's probably why what I'm playing here is a combination of the lead and rhythm parts.

[JackoTheMonkey]

a great sounding guitar.

you played it well.

5 stars.

[DontGiveHimTheStick]

I did some research: that 50th Anniversary American Stratocaster cost nearly $6,000!

[philadendron]

Haha, I wish I owned a guitar that expensive. It's not the Custom Shop version, which costs 3 grand more. The Custom Shop version has nicer pickups and a is custom-aged.

The difference between mine and a Standard American strat is that mine has the replica 1959 pickups, plus a custom insignia on the back of the guitar. Mine only costs about 1200.

[closertotheheart]

I almost got this song down for my band's cover version but I can't get those damn arpeggios right. I don't normally play like that but this song really made me want to learn how! :) Great video dude, that was spot on.

[DontGiveHimTheStick]

I love the way you play...perfectly!

Sick Strat

[deepesh911]

that was amazing...love the sound of your fender

[scubakid]

That was an awesome cover! Played so nicely!

You're cute too. :)

[DontGiveHimTheStick]

perfect!

[delvin51286]

good stuff good stuff do walls free fallin and others next time man!

[CrazyMixx]

Nice! Not just your average youtube music vid...

[makiyama29]

where'd you get the music

[philadendron]

ripped the song off of the CD

[makiyama29]

what about the tabs/ sheet music?

[philadendron]

Hmm...I've been playing it for years every now and then. I think I just figured it out. The only part I looked up was the chorus progression. I just googled american girl tab.

[giovanni424]

lol dude that was cool cause u played the lead guitar for that song so while i was watching this i played the rythm for the song(what petty plays) we sounded pretty good lol

[philadendron]

It's a great two-guitar song that sounds great on Strats. You should post your version.

[Trombonestar]

That was a great cover. Tom Petty is just the best Musician alive.

[daviemcf]

You've nailed this one Phil,great tone again!

[philadendron]

Thanks, in hindsight I think I mixed the volume of my playing a little bit too high in comparison to that of the song. You live and learn.
