The Beatles "Dig A Pony" - Cover by Buddy Clontz

[sammyslo]

hi Buddy .. nice playing and understanding for Beatles music; but I'm still missing something on end of playing ... licks and solo playing without a music, so we could learn this! :) Not for beginers with talking; just a zoom of playing :)

[doubleplanet9]

Hey man. It's Chris Miller.... Remember me. Glad to see you're still playing... Awesome, dude.

[davidramone31]

Hey buddy great playing man

[BuddyClontz]

@davidramone31 Thanks!

[busteroo7]

@KingCatWolf wow random!!!

[westftballstar31]

To everybody complaining because of the "trebly" sound to it... He's not only playing Lennon's part but Harrison's lead as well, which had a very trebly sound to it. So don't forget to take that into account.

[ejb40plp]

epic

[yarnmorra]

umh, stop hording all the lovely guitars

[dani86xela]

eheheheh...i smile because i see i've just commneted this vid, but if yuo are great guitarist is not my guilt!!!ehehe......compliments again buddy....i am jealous of your fantastic sound.....i cant do it with my ampli.....

[judoguy33]

Very nice picking!!! love the tone of your guitar

[judoguy33]

Very nice picking!!! love the tone of you guitar

[BuddyClontz]

@judoguy33 Thanks!

[BEARARMZ]

@BuddyClontz nice tone what amp?

[BuddyClontz]

@BEARARMZ I used a Fender Hot Rod DeVille 4-10 on this one.

[mikinmontague]

Very nice. Made me fall in love with the song again.

[BuddyClontz]

@mikinmontague Thanks!

[wipers86]

very nice man the guitar sounds spot on in tone

[agusorbania]

Alusan aing !

[dani86xela]

another great cover.....you make it sound like the original.....wowww

[BuddyClontz]

@dani86xela Thanks!

[hawaiianrobot]

i dig the tone man, good playing! f the haters

[NeutralSnap]

great playing, but that is horribly trebly. try turning the treble down, flip to mid position using both humbuckers, or just roll off some of the tone because that is screaching tone.

[BuddyClontz]

@NeutralSnap It's exactly the tone I wanted. Thanks for watching.

[NeutralSnap]

@BuddyClontz i know what your trying to get at but thats too much treble. john lennon used more of a fuzzy treble and he had single coils on on his epiphone casino. if u have a tube amp, on the clean setting, boost the channel volume and drop back on the master volume and that might help to recreate that AC30 hot tube sound.

[BuddyClontz]

@NeutralSnap True...

[NeutralSnap]

@BuddyClontz just tryin to help out m8. once again its great playing :)

[darkcrimson23]

@NeutralSnap I think it sounds great regardless. Nice playing, Buddy!

[maxthatridealyn771]

Good job man :) + what type of drums do you havee?

[BuddyClontz]

@maxthatridealyn771 I have two sets of Pearl Drums.

[troikagirl]

Buddy..You are good....very very good!

[BuddyClontz]

@troikagirl Thank you!

[unrealxXx]

great playing!!

[raifenzen]

too much noise 

[tomizaku]

I want to be like you!

I bought a guitar some months ago, just to play beatles songs. I'm advancing very slowly.

But I will try harder!

This is inspirating.

[BuddyClontz]

@tomizaku Thanks! Just keep at it and you'll get there. I still strive to learn and I have a long way to go...but I started out playing drums.

[michael713ify]

@tomizaku sweet keep it up I am a beginer guitarist also the Beatles have inspired me so much in my life in general this is one of the greatest songs ever by the way

[7byseven]

that was awesome

[BuddyClontz]

@7byseven Thanks!

[koh3490]

yo Buddy nice cover. Im trying to learn dig a pony myself, and if you have time could you put up a how to video. thanks

[gal00li]

Excellent playing Buddy....2 requests ,perhaps you could place the camera just a little closer so we could see your fretwork a little clearer...and secondly lighten up man, you are a really great player but you look very miserable in your videos....Iknow its probably your concentration on your playing but smile man......

[deadluvva]

Nice playin indeed Buddy. Love all those little licks and that wild solo.

Nice Gibson as well.

72 Custom owner myself....... 

[BuddyClontz]

@deadluvva Thank you!

[HomerGlop]

can you give us the tab?

[BuddyClontz]

@HomerGlop I'm sorry but I don't use tabs. I play by ear.

[BuddyClontz]

@flyguy25365 Thanks! I've always been a huge fan of The Beatles.

[MrGlassman9]

Hey man, just watched this video. Excellent!!!!! You are doing what I've been trying to do with one guitar for years. If you made a how to play this song teaching video, I would buy it. Keep playing Peace and Love

[BuddyClontz]

@MrGlassman9 Thanks!

[chadpapa]

sometimes you saw the camera , that is a best part ,I think.

and you are great player also good sound.

thanks for your paformance

[fullofbl1ss]

nice

[MrGuiharr]

Great as always, Buddy but sence you have told me that you play only by ear can you play this song, Yer blues Dirty Mac

[ricardoguerlan]

Hey Buddy!... You not only play with proffesionalism, but also with great feeling!...

[ricardoguerlan]

Hey Buddy!... You not only play with proffesionalism, but also with great feeling!...

[BuddyClontz]

@ricardoguerlan Thank you!

[MrGuiharr]

Hey make me the tabs please

[Trosky2]

Hey Buddy, can you position your camera closer to your guitar and fretboard, that way we can copy your solo, for the people that is learning to play the guitar, Thanks,

[GreatBigChangeComin]

Buddy - devil music? Your thoughts...

[BuddyClontz]

No...I don't consider it to be "devil music" although I wouldn't categorize it as "Praise and Worship" music either.

[GreatBigChangeComin]

@BuddyClontz: Since the Beatles were promoters of the culture of drugs and loose living, are you not also promoting this by performing and distributing it to tens of thousands?

[BuddyClontz]

I do not condone any such behavior/lifestyle, etc. nor do I do anything that "promotes" it in my opinion, but I like the music of the Beatles and I always have. They were not perfect...I am not perfect...and no one else on this earth is perfect. It is really that simple.

[GreatBigChangeComin]

@BuddyClontz: Well you're doing a good job.

[pancakekiller91]

@GreatBigChangeComin troll got owned

[Edu2503]

Don't you have a Telecaster? it would sound better using a Tele. Anyways, great cover!

[BuddyClontz]

Thanks! No, I don't have a Tele...but I may buy one eventually.

[milan1499]

the solo is in _RITHYM ? gretting friend B.C! =)

[zaragozast]

I love this song . Awesome!!!

[AlphaPMC]

dude this is really good. you play by ear? unbelievable. thanks for keeping the beatles alive!

[schiffnhauser]

Buddy, I also play by ear,I can only read chords ,I am learning so much in such a short time on youtube,than my entire 40 years of playing. I like your purple haze and I got a feeling,awesome playing, love it!

[BuddyClontz]

Thanks!

[Escarlinhos]

You should do that for living, that was realy good!

[jrd3rd]

Awesome job! Do you know where I could find instruction on those Harrison licks?

Thanks.

[Nickdude6]

gotta slid into the the intro, thats not the way the beatles played it. probably the only constructive criticism on any of ure vids

[BuddyClontz]

I am aware that the Beatles played it that way and I play it that way as well sometimes. This clip is of a singular performance where I didn't play it that way...and I do take liberties with songs and techniques when I play sometimes. -BC

[SufjanSays]

This is a very fun song to play, in my experience. Those Harrison riffs in this song are killer - and you do them very well. Ace job, man.

[BuddyClontz]

Thank you. -BC

[Sleepyflower7]

That was really good. Very nice sound.

[BuddyClontz]

Thanks! -BC

[brosketty01]

what do you use for acustics?

[BuddyClontz]

Nothing...I just shoot the videos in my music room which is currently under expansion and renovation. -BC

[makahaLouie]

Hey Buddy... Let's get a band! Your the best lead guitarist I've heard in the longest time!

Just a note... I wonder how this song would sound with a gibson SG? It sounds greaaat! What amp are you using>??? Vox? Fender? Definitely a tube aMp!

[BuddyClontz]

Thanks! I am using a Fender Hot Rod DeVille 4-10 on this cover. It's been a while since I've been in a band but I've always liked playing live. -BC

[starwarsraul13]

Hey Buddy How are you. how much is that Gibson. Can't belive those guitars are so overpriced. By the way what does that guitar comes with.

[BuddyClontz]

Retail is about $5000-$6000 and it comes with the case and a certificate for the most part...LOL It's a Custom Historic Model from the Gibson Custom Shop ...so they are a little pricey. -BC

[mcbump]

You are really good man! I love your stuff.When I need to learn a song I'm stoppin by your channel.Iffy

[BuddyClontz]

Thank You! -BC

[swiftassassin89]

Great Great Cover my friend nailed it

[BuddyClontz]

[musicdream822]

[tubesteakbooky]

[BuddyClontz]

Retail about $4800 USD. -BC

[Kangarieux]

You're great!

Like this video, I like it when you have the song in the background.

I don't know if I ever would've stumbled upon these if I wasn't looking for a version of the Kinks' Tired of waiting 4 U.

[BuddyClontz]

Thanks! -BC

[lsdman14]

[BuddyClontz]

Thanks! I've been listening to this music since the late 1960's and I've never gotten tired of it. The Beatles were great on many levels and time has proven that out. -BC

[oglockwood]

how long have you been playing guitar? you're definitely one of the best guitarists on youtube. and you cover some kick ass songs too haha.

you should try some stuff by the smiths on one of your ricks.

[BuddyClontz]

Thanks! I might do a song or two by the Smiths before I burn out on this...LOL -BC

[xUnknownAcex]

He's got one.

Haha.

[mah38900]

The tone is perfect.

[firef516]

What amp did you use buddy? Any chance of while my guitar in the future? Can't get enough of your vids, you are very inspiring to a guitarist. Thanks

[BuddyClontz]

Thank You! Yes, I'll probably do "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" sometime. The amp on this one was a Fender Hot Rod DeVille 4-10 tube amp. -BC

Hey Buddy, I love this song. It's one of the most underrated Beatles tunes....have you done Don't Let Me Down yet?

[BuddyClontz]

I have not done "Don't Let Me Down" but I've thought about doing that one eventually. I like most everything on the "Let It Be" LP. -BC

[Asovtcev]

Thanks! -BC

[myfavoritevideoclip]

Absolutely fantastic, Buddy!

What a strange coincidence, I too haven't been posting new videos due to installing hardwood floors and painting.

Great videos!

[BuddyClontz]

Yes...I have just finished 5 weeks of painting and hardwood floor installation in the upstairs of my home mainly...and I have 2 more rooms to go...but I have to have a break...which means...new videos soon...LOL Thanks for watching! -BC

[BuddyClontz]

Thanks Ron!...14 Guitars currently. :-) -BC

[stevanivo]

Excellent, spot on. thanks for sharing. Maybe you could give "you never give me your money" a go. We'd love to hear your rendition. Thanks again.

[BuddyClontz]

Thanks! Actually, I know how to play that one and I am going to do a cover of it sometime. Right now I am into the 2nd. month of painting and putting in hardwood flooring in the 2nd. floor of my home, but in about a week, I hope I am going to have a little time to sit down and do a few more covers. -BC
