Richard Somers - My Untold Story (An Original Compositional Tribute To Opeth)

[liberalmetal]

i just realized that you play an ibanez soundgear bass

same as me! but i have the six string

iibanez all the way man

you rock

[richsomers]

Haha thanks man you rock too. I actually have 2 Ibanez soundgear basses SR-500 and 400 (both 4 strings). I've been meaning to get a 5 or 6 string and it will most likely be an Ibanez . Also the guitar I use for the solo here is an Ibanez. I guess you could say Im an Ibanez guy cause its basically all I play. I just love the feel of their stuff.

[liberalmetal]

yeah i play an Sr-760 and its just amazing

everything about it is just great

[richsomers]

oh yeah I totally know what you mean fellow Ibanez brother. If you liked this video and El Taco Loco why don't you watch some of my other videos. I would suggest Longing For or I Don't Want To Go To Sleep (Without You). I'm sure you will enjoy them.

[drpurp]

that was really awesome, wish I could play like that =) well, maybe one day

[richsomers]

thanks. I took a look at your videos and you are on your way to playing like this. Just a little more practice is all you need.

[ilanzero]

damn man that was pretty cool i wish more people would find this

[richsomers]

thank you very much. I wish more people would find this too lol seeing as it doesn't have too many views, plus I am really proud of this first instrumental recording I ever did. My soloing style is nothing like Michaels but some of the backing music reminds me of Opeth so you know. Oh and feel free to send this to any of your friends who might enjoy it lol

[leonardo1480]

hey man that was pretty good, I hope you keep this music stuff up for years to come, it was pretty good sounding SWEET!

[richsomers]

thank you. I love music and I plan on playing for years to come.

[robertsutter]

Hi Rich,

This is GREAT !!!! You remind me of David Gilmour.  You have his look in your eyes. This is genius level bro!!!

[richsomers]

thank you very much. I have never had anyone tell me I sound like David Gilmour before. I guess I use a lot of pentatonic scales and bends and so does he.

[lucamadeus]

the Music flows into your veins, amazing job Richard! 10*****

[richsomers]

Thank you very much Luca. i really appreciate it.

[Gu1tarGuy18]

Way to go Richard, another fine piece. Keep it up

[richsomers]

thank you I will lol

[LillyC68]

Sounds good, Richard! Keep it up and find your way and style... best regards,

Lilly

[richsomers]

thank you. you are right to say that because I still am finding my style.

[prelevich]

You are very, very talented, Rich! This is like a mix of Satriani and Megadeth and sounds really good! I wish I could compose like you! Two thumbs up!

[richsomers]

Thank you. I am very inspired by both Joe Satriani and Dave Mustanes soloing style.

[maynard789]

It's cool! But I gotta say, it's not really my style, sounds a litte like Satriani (not the technique, but this kind of soloing from beginning to the end) or something, which is good, but it's really not my piece of cake.

Still, good composition and nice playing. Thumbs up!

[richsomers]

Thanks. If this is not your cup of tea maybe give another one of my uploads a try say El Taco Loco or Longing For... This was my first instrumental recording so I hadn't quite found myself yet. Still thanks for the comment.

[akfgirl4]

awesome :)

[richsomers]

Thanks.
