Cover of "Owner of a Lonely Heart" by Yes - Fred Baty

[SlasherMiniFilms]

Does your Kramer have a Floyd Rose tuning system?

[Fredbaty]

@SlasherMiniFilms If you mean a Floyd Rose trem, then yup! It's got a Floyd Rose Pro - the low-profile version of an OFR.

Great sound, very nice video. I like youre video's thanks!!! Can you send me where i can find the right tab? I can't find the right one on the net.

Thanks.

[Ungary2]

great cover! love your videos

[macaulaymcculkin]

That Kramer is freaking awesome. What model?

[Fredbaty]

@macaulaymcculkin It really is rather awesome! It's a Nightswan II - the HSS version of Viv Campbell's signature model (Def Leppard guitarist).

[misticalodin]

DUDE!!!! what happened to ur hair!!!! 

[sleepmakeswavesband]

So fresh, so clean, so colour co-ordinated! Love this song, you did an awesome job.

[REKrauser42]

when i see you in my sub box i am so overjoyed because I never know what to expect...and it is always so good...thank you, and awesome cover (but also i would like to hear more originals, they are my fav)

[gotnoodle]

i love how you make it very interesting by your presence... not to mention your playing ;) and how you put effort into making the video editing interesting, keep it up.

one of my favourite youtube guitarists for sure.

[sesspleftocore]

faved! Very good , i realy like this one

[mcchuff]

woooow! I just noticed your inlays! That is such a simple idea but it works so well! that's so cool!

[Fredbaty]

@superpumpernickel Cheers man! Never heard that song (bizarre name for a band, too) but it's pretty sweet. Not a huge fan of the vocals, but I've heard worse and there's some very nice guitar work going on. Thanks very much for the suggestion, will definitely consider it.

[arrighiclay]

Excellent color! You're guitar is gorgeous... Another success Fred!

[darknature79]

fred iam a metal head but i seen eagles play hotel califonia live on tv with like 6 guys playing guitar that would be some seriously cool shit to see u do with 3 or 4 over dubbed audio and video of u doin that

[Fredbaty]

@darknature79 Thanks very much for the awesome suggestion man, it would certainly give me an excuse to buy a 12-string if nothing else!

[kman278]

Glad to see your enjoying it :D

[SeanDuffyProductions]

Awesome Fred, excellent choice for a cover song, I love Yes! You ever considered covering anything else of theirs? Heart of The Sunrise or Yours Is No Disgrace or anything?

[Fredbaty]

@SeanDuffyProductions Cheers Sean, would definitely love to do some proper old-school Yes if I ever have the time to learn an 18 minute epic!

[TheBlackwaterDemon]

Ha! Fucking awesome, man. Great choice for a cover - totally left-field.

[abysslord16]

the newest the human abstract is pretty killer, if you could cover anything from that, but this 80's stuff is too awesome, keep it up!

[Fredbaty]

@abysslord16 Heard the name but never listened to them before - thanks for that! Will definitely check out more of their stuff, what I've heard so far sounds pretty awesome apart from the occasional arbitrary breakdown.

[abysslord16]

@Fredbaty yeah they've got some, but their technical aspects totally drown them out.

[bakedbean1232]

Giggidy

[tommie997]

I like the stuff you're doing at the moment but what about some dream theater? I am aware that the guitar is quite technical but I'm sure you could do some of their songs so yeah, just a suggestion.

[Fredbaty]

@tommie997 I've never really been a DT fan, myself - they're all very obviously phenomenal musicians, but I find it quite hard to get past the vocals, as well as the fact that the sheer clinical precision of their stuff makes it all sounds somewhat artificial to me. Really appreciate the suggestion, though, and you never know - it took me an age to get into stuff like Protest the Hero, so maybe DT just need a little more time!

[adamjohnlowe]

Absolutely amazing.

[ZeroSwitch]

Hey man, I really dug Ocean Coil. If you have any more ambient type stuff sitting around, that would be neat.

And I always love metal. :D

I mean, your acoustic is cool too.

Really, just keep uploading videos, it can't go wrong. :P

[Fredbaty]

@ZeroSwitch Haha, thanks very much man. I'd love to get more stuff out like Ocean Coil, but my writing process is incredibly slow at the moment, so it might be a while yet! I do plan on at least trying to get an EP's worth of that kind of stuff together in the not-too-distant future, though, so keep an eye out.

[MattPlaysDrums187]

YES!

[Curbst0mped]

wordddd fred upload some more heavy stuff again perhaps some of the new BOO?

[Fredbaty]

@Curbst0mped Cheers man, I must admit I've never got into BoO. Have heard vast quantities of good stuff about them, though, so will definitely give them another chance!

[Fredbaty]

Forgot to say - if anyone has any suggestions for what they'd like to see more or less of on my channel, please leave a comment or send a message! Whether it's very specific (particular songs, etc.) or very vague ("music lol", etc.), it'd be good to know what people want to watch. My 50th video is coming up, and I'm pretty sure I know what it's going to be (as a clue, a trip back to my roots), but there's not much point having 50 videos online if I'm missing the point of what people want!

[DarthNader11]

@Fredbaty You like to play alot of ambient stuff, Would you play Prelude/Bombfare/Victory Fanfare from Final Fantasy 7? Its playable on a 7 string I think and I would really like to have someone I could watch play it while I learn it. Thanks :)

[Fredbaty]

@DarthNader11 Cheers for the suggestion mate. I slightly missed out on the FF games, but from the hype around them and their soundtrack, I should probably spend the time to get acquainted with them. I don't actually have a (functional) 7-string at the moment,but listening to the song it sounds like an arrangement could be possible. Either way, hugely appreciate the input!

[i8i7]

@Fredbaty just cover as much ground as possible, i enjoy all your videos!

[weskos]

classic. nostalgic. impeccable. appreciated.

[Mufewsa]

I love how you get into it xD lol but yes very good

[A1ex1sBB]

u'r amazing ! awesome playing!
