The kramer models we used for all test are kramer striker custom fr 424 cm. And the kramer striker 211 custom. And all test were based on tone/tone versatilty/feel and sustain.
Earlier we put the same kramer models against a jackson RR3 and a jackson soloist. The kramers won that battle 6 to 2. Now the ibanezs it was a little differnt out of the 8 guitarist voteing 4 went with the kramers. 3 went with the ibanezs and 1liked both
Heres some guitar news for all the ibanez jem and ibanez joe satch guitars. Not to long ago at my local GUITAR CENTER we had some fun we blind folded 8 pro guitarist we wanted to know witch guitars sounded and played better. Jacksons/ibanez or kramer.
I'd have to agree with cmstricker67, even though I've been playing guitar for about 2 years now, I still suck. You can play a guitar, and you rock at this song. Keep practicing, you'll be close to perfect someday, you're already close.
BRAVO!!! You played the hell out of that tune bro. As well as you play, it doesn't need to be perfect. I don't think Chris himself has ever re-played that song note for note. Awesome rendition of an awesome song!
great job ! I like it alot ... tone would be close to perfect if your lead p/u was a single, but hey ... awesome !!! great performance & recording sound is great as well. 5 *****
This was one of my favorite pieces on that album and one of my favorite remakes of ALL TIME. You, my friend, did an amazing job, mistakes or no. Hands down on of my favorite guitar covers on YouTube by an unsigned artist. Make no mistake, you are an artist and don't let anyone attempt to convince you otherwise.
Well..... you got nothing but a thumbs up from me. I'm glad you decided to upload this video. I would gladly pay the price of a ticket to hear you play.
nice chops! ...fyi, they just started a video contest at fyeguy.com looking for vids of songs featured on the show Glee... they did this song on one ep - so you could totally enter this video in that contest!! Prize is a $500 fye gift card.
Do you play John Petrucci material? JESUS. It sure seems like it. Your alternate picking is INSANE. The legato could be more fluid, but thats not the purpose here. The vibrato here is shaky, but I think thats on purpose do to the nature of the song. Im thinking and hoping thats not your most disciplined form.
Endeed... @emancomeith ... Its brilliant, the sound is just right, the playing, is great, the feel is amazing... just work on the tapping part, but overall i give it 9/10... andtrust me it means a lot
I remember when this song first came out.It is just as incredible today as it was then.A little mistake on this song just makes it sound cooler.This is by far the best version of this on Youtube.Great job
I cant even watch this, tooo good, im too jealous, wish i could play like you. dammit LOL and the sound is amazing btw, just sounds soo melodic and right, if you know what i meean
Guys, I have a challenge question here. What pickups should I use to get a swampash body guitar with an ebony fingerboard to sound exactly like the Jem7v, especially at the neck. Please help me here. Thanks.
@unincorporated1 maybe Chris Impeliterry would think this is good too (Somewhere Over The Rainbow song # 4 on Stand In Line CD by Chris Impeliterry). Jesus is Lord. I love the sound on the way you're playing this magni. Keep playing man.
