@ginokid 86 Stagemaster, Line 6 pod xt

[LOMAZ5150]

on every cover of this song not one person adds the harmonics on the riffs

[starbucksguitar]

Hey Man Excellent playing. I was just wondering about the tone. Are you going direct in to pc with a sound card and effects. and what pedals are you using? The tone is so dead on killer!!

[Craigman65]

@starbucksguitar Thanks. Line 6 POD XT. All effects are built in. Running right into the line in of the pc.

[bigrigJim]

[BigTroubles]

[woi2ld]

man , i wore my kramers frets out flat as a kid......love that binding around the neck.......want my kramer back now

[Rymo18]

it seems too fast to me. especially the first riff after the intro

[frankenstrat25]

if you have ever played this song and played that riff even i cant hold myself back from trying to play it lightning fast

[metaloutlander]

nice job man

[MityMitch]

do you have the tabs for the part that starts at 2:10??? 5 starsss absolutely flawless.

[LWRCftw]

pause at 0:46...??? American Idol? why?...

[Craigman65]

The backing track just started there so I could never sync myself with the intro close enough. Just made 2 vids and spliced Ashley there haha

[myautomobilefunk]

wtf 0 : 46

[foreveralive]

Are you asking the question as to whether your backing track is Voodoo Queen, Craigman?

I've actually got Voodoo Queen on an old cd, and it smokes...it may be that it should've been recorded the way Ed initially wrote the tune. It rocks in it's own unique way, but the arrangement is a lot different than how it was recorded.

If you haven't heard Voodoo Queen, you owe it to yourself to get your hands on a copy of it from somewhere.

[Craigman65]

@foreveralive Since the backing track had no vocals, I thought maybe it could be either. There is another demo he did with that breakdown phaser part... can't remember the name.

[Craigman65]

'She's the Woman' is the other one. 1:20. From the Gene Simmons demos, good tune too.

[tzotzo]

I think the first few bars of the opening could be a bit closer to the real deal. But I think you capture the heck out of evh feel. great job. wish I could take lessons!

[RexVonDemon]

SIck man!!

[frankenstrat25]

whats the setting on the pod dude

[mmllgg2471]

Craigman you rock! Thanks for posting.

[AngeloGrazianoo]

Dude what are you using to get your town, it's amazing!

[Craigman65]

[druribe]

KILLER JOB BRO!!!!

[cq5150]

Good Job! Looks like a custom built axe, what's the pickup in there?

[MrCrued]

[GuitarCrazyManiac]

[sjpurdy1]

Rock on Craigman

[theratfarmer]

step on my face if you want to. the tuning sounds off to me. 1/4 or half step too high. maybe that was your point? (not VH). ok.

[Craigman65]

I just tuned to the bass line...

[kissrocks45]

sounds sweet !whats amp and effects are you using?

[woodsracing]

Damn thats sweet. " Keep doing the vids . Dirty Movies next would be KOOL !

[Craigman65]

Yes it would! wait, how about Would?

Seeing as you take requests.. Dirty movies? :)

[stratplayor]

My favorite VH song, you did an incredible job on this. 10 stars

[spenzor33]

WTF the girl at 0:45

[videotaker4356]

And now a comment from the man who ask you to play this song. First of all: Thankyou ! second: Very very good ! I'm impressed. That's maybe one of the best Van Halen song you play. You should be proud after lots of practicing and learning to, at least, play it so good.

[Craigman65]

It's all 'cause of your request dude!

[videotaker4356]

Happy to know that !

Thankyou !

Continue the good work with practice and learning of such interesting material.

[carriedaway]

Kick. Ass.

Nice job, man.

[LagiT3ch]

Hey babe.

Could you tell me your POD settings, because I'm in love with your sound .

Thx

[izable]

That outro is one bad mofo. I could listen to that alone for at least a half an hour.

[Craigman65]

Cool

[satchbooggy]

is that a little bottle of finger ease i spy in the backround? haha no wonder you slide so smooth lol

[Craigman65]

Like a mazola party!

[satchbooggy]

dude you are the owner of the best fair warning covers to be found anywhere. they are bordering on f...king amazing man

[Craigman65]

I say this with the utmost staunchness of heterosexuality, ... I love you man!

[jimwgt]

Really well done!

[Craigman65]

thanks Jim

[frankenstrat25]

lol pause at 0:46 youll probably have to pause then scroll around to get a good look

[PDXguitarfreak]

Awesome man - one of my faves! I really want to learn that intro but I'm a little intimidated by it LOL

[Craigman65]

PDX is back!!!

[mymassivehead]

Great job man. Well played. Fair Warning is my favorite VH album.  Darker and angrier. Great stuff.

[Craigman65]

Grunge VH style

[elec123]

Groovy stuff.. Well played!

[Craigman65]

thanks man

[Crewdog77]
