Awesome!! Good thing that guitar has that large pickguard! Sounds better than the original..

[sageguitar70]

@Earnhardt12345 No doubt about that!! It's almost speed metal at 2:07! Rock on bro! \m/

[KISS1975]

[piff235]

[sageguitar70]

@piff235 Dude that just makes me feel even older! Thanks for watching man!! \m/

[pyrogod67]

[sageguitar70]

@pyrogod67 Hey thanks for checking it out!! Rock on!!

[manchiloco]

great job alex !!! your tele sounds excellent as always and this song is a classic =)

[sageguitar70]

@manchiloco Hey thanks man!!  The Telecaster needed some work! After I get done with a few things..I want to try and do some more 90s stuff. More green Day will probably be in the mix. Rock on man!! \m/

[sageguitar70]

@MCguit88 Thanks Mike! Rock on bro! \m/

[foreverand6days]

Awesome Alex.You nailed the Humping stum.Nice tone man.This is a Warner song,and they took mine down and gave me a strike.Killer to see it played so well.Have a Brutal end to the weekend.

[sageguitar70]

@foreverand6days Hey thanks Dude! I don't know how I made it past the music cops...but I'm glad. WMG is a bunch of fucking bitches. We are promoting and paying homage to their music and this is how they respond. What a bunch of corporate fuck ups. Anyway keep rockin man!! \m/

[foreverand6days]

@sageguitar70 What tuning did you use.Looks like you stayed in E.I want to know because I will use you video to brush up,and make shure I do it right.This song must be a bore for you.It is so below your potential.

[sageguitar70]

@foreverand6days I tuned the guitar a 1/2 step down for this song. About being a bore...no way. The chords may be basic but the rhythm and feel is tough. Getting the timing down on that intro is a bitch! It is real challenge!

[cosmokramer41]

awesome job, you always have the tone down perfectly, keep it up \m/,

[sageguitar70]

@cosmokramer41 Hey thanks man!!

[fourty5mag]

Nice playin and mix as always!! What's hangin on your cutaway?

[sageguitar70]

@fourty5mag Thanks RB! Oh that is just a tie sting from my Fender strap. So yous can use it on an acoustic if you want. Cheap strap.

[skeletone111]

You Rock Bro!!! Sounds awesome... *****

[sageguitar70]

@skeletone111 Thanks a million!

[jimmymac30]

You sound great Alex, well played man!

17 years! Unbelievable!

[sageguitar70]

@jimmymac30 Thanks man!! \m/

[woodyamsterdam]

Hahaha! You beat me this time because I had Basket Case scheduled for next week!

Great cover man and the Tele sounds like the right tool for the job. Well done!

[sageguitar70]

@woodyamsterdam I have to say that you inspired me with all your other fantastic Green Day covers! Don't let me slow you down man!! Yeah the Telecaster had the right tone for this. I ran through it once with the ESP and it sounded like a metal song! My Tele missed me anyway...Thanks a million Woody!! Rock on! \m/
