was that actually you playing? i couldent tell ... i dont mean to be a jerk but either that was the actual song playing or you are just a god at guitar
Hey thats really cool how you hold your pick under your middle finger, thats exactly how I do it. I even use that exact same fender guitar strap.!.!.!
lots of people say this song isn't rock. they only think that besuase oft he subjest and the lyrics. i say to all those people, just listne to the guitar track on it's own (especially opening and solo0 and you'll relaise this is
Good work man! This is still one of the best songs ever written for the guitar. Keep it up! Everyone else talking shit can respond with their own rendition. If not then you haven't got fuck all to say amigos!
i totally agree with belmont. if ur not already in a band u must start or join one and write epic amazing and insane songs. with god as my witness i vow to buy all your albums
great job, and yeah like the comment under me just forget those ppl, i dont even play guitar but i can imagine how hard that must be and even if u did miss a few notes which u didnt everything sounded perfect to me, ppl should just shut up cuz their probly just jealous
wow youre good lol you nailed those solos almost perfectly, you are one, if not the best guitarist ive seen on youtube so far, you should really start a band and play lead cause damn man it sounded fucking awesome
wow man. you're really good. amazing timing by the way. you sure you aren't a drummer? haha. just one tip for you. take the beginning at double time by adding a couple more reps of each hammer on then it would absolutely killer! keep on rockin! sweet solo by the way. dead on!
Wow, you know what, I thought that I was the only one that hits the G on the low E string on the verse and chorus (the fifth or sixth note played in the chorus)
It's actually not on the recording, but it just seems like it should be, so I play it that way - great minds think alike yo
eddie mike and alex split on charone, mike and sammy are playing on an island in the middle of no where, eddie found out he had cancer, he went to rehab, got out introduced a new line of insturments and amps with fender (5150 III + frankenstrat replica) the orginal van halen minus mike got back together w/ ed's son on bass they starteda a reunion tour and now ed's cancer might be back so the last three shows have been delayed.
Mockingbird is a body style. The most prominent maker of it right now is BC Rich, but others make it as well. I know Warmoth made some of the bodies for their custom stuff, but their page doesn't have any now. Burny, who's parent company is Fernandes, released some in Japan, but I don't know if they still do.
The video looks to feature a BC Rich one, judging by the headstock.
im not sure but i think eddie is touring with his son i dont know but if your new to van halen listen to jump panama eruption common songs to begin with
where is the mesa? and what do you mean with " I use the original effect rack systems " you say that in every post you make, it doesn't make any sense
That by far has to be the most idiotic comment I have ever seen on a youtube page. Do you even know what head room is? There is absolutely nothing wrong with B.C. Rich guitars either.
was that actually you playing? i couldent tell ... i dont mean to be a jerk but either that was the actual song playing or you are just a god at guitar
