I've been playing this song for YEARS but never got the clean parts in the verses totally figured out (how did you figure that out by ear?!!)... also thanks for showing me where the harmonics are! I think the one at :24 is a pinch harmonic as opposed to a (what do you call them?) natural harmonic.
Totally amazing!!! Very nice work. You are a natural if you had just learned this song!
@TheNicoli12345 called harmonics. two types of harmonics, pinch harmonics and natural harmonics. natural harmonics are the ones you are referring to. at every interval of the string, you can find a harmonic area where you can rest your finger on the string (over the bar), but not fret down, pluck and let go at the same time, and you will get a nice chime called a harmonic.
Nice job man.All by ear.That is the best way to do it in my opinion.If you play enough guitar you will start to recognize certain chords and notes immediatly.I have been playing for 25 years and still do it by ear.Rock on!!!!!!!
great jobs! i'm still on guitar hero but my girlfriends brother is going to teach me to play a real guitar and hopfully with enough practice I'll be able to burn it down like that! keep it up.
ok, powersslave,\props stewie shirt! look, you're a talented guitarist but...watch the jet city woman video, chris de garmo has feel and soul while playing, stop staring at the guitar, you know the finger placement, move around, feel the song and solo!
you my freind, suffer from the guitar school of england, europe, great technical playing but little soul...watch steve clark/def leppard, he had soul... rock on
Please don't tell me you just started playing last year and that you drink beers with Chis DeGarmo, I just couldn't live another day! What would be the point?
100% possible to learn songs like these by ear. Play long enough and you know what's going on in most songs just by hearing them. there are tons of commonly used solo fingering patterns and you know them just by hearing them..
stfu, there is alot of technical things in the song which makes it impossible to learn just by ear...but i still give him props for learning it....and about the tabs i talked to micheal wilton himself and he told me he has never found any correct tabs for any of his songs.
What's up powerslave....thank you for the section tab on Walk In The Shadows. Waiting for you to post The Mission or Spreading the Disease...love to see it!
Awsome work! You're right, theres not a lot of QR covers on here...(the few that exist are recorded badley...or just suck)
Seems like your Gibson isn't holding the sustain as well as it could...just an observation...is that perhaps due to a pedal? Anyhow, I look forward to more QR stuff from you! I'm subscribing to you for that purpose. And your talent by ear is amazing!
What I appreciate the most about your work is that you have covered all the fillers, all the small arpeggios, slurs, the small stuff that fills out the song, instead of just focusing on the flashy parts...AWESOME job and a Joy to watch and listen to.
Now if only DiGarmo would get sick of driving planes!!
I am 33 years old, and have been playing guitar since I was 12. I must say....DAMN. I play songs only by ear and this one was always a tough one. Glad I can pick up some ideas from you. P.S. It sucks that I now am the old dog, learning new tricks. Loved It.
If it wasn't perfect I wouldn't know the difference. It sounded great to me! I'll show this to my son and see what he says....he's the guitar player in the family.
WOW.that was the best copy of anything ive seen on youtube.most ppl suck when they do a song.smoked on the solo,would blow mike stone away,and the fool before mike stone as well.good job,AND ON A LES PAUL?wow!
hey mate! Long time no speak - uni starts in 11 days for me :) Nah I didnt post anything for the compotition - there are too many people who beat the shit outta me lol! :S Hows you been mate? PM back cause I wann keep the comments uncluttered lol :)
wow! clean part was tight very accuary, riffs were tight too, solos were amazing, didn't miss a note mate. 5* it was awesome ! you better start thinking on recording directly ! you could sound much better ! i mean playing can't get anybetter, but sound can :) so rock on mate !
Nice playing. u ever think about putting a bit of this clip up on AmIaGoodMusician dotcom as well? You would rank highly..it's right up your alley. Check it, you'll see...
