Bad Religion - You (guitar cover)

[molequeiro]

nice!

[KingOfParrots]

awesome, a real punk rocker playing it too :-)

[redprojet]

So what's you secret to the "Bad Religion sound?" I just bought a limited edition Gibson Les Paul Jr. and I want to get as close to the Bad Religion sound as I can get. Any specific pedals or pick-ups? I've been looking at a Dimarzio Super Distortion pick-up that seems pretty close but I figured you will have a better input than me. lol

[woodyamsterdam]

@redprojet

I know that Brian Baker uses a Dimarzio S.D. in his Les Paul but I'm not really a Bad Religion specialist... Just crank up that amp with the right amount of overdrive hehehe!

[redprojet]

@woodyamsterdam Ha ha very true. Thanks! :)

[TheKiriinow10]

Hey dude, you're so fucking good, every Ramones song that I can play on guitar I learned by watching your videos & now you're giving to me (as usual) a perfect cover of this awesome song, just wanna say THANKS A LOT, greetings from México.!

Punk is not dead.! lml

[woodyamsterdam]

@TheKiriinow10

[Disgnacio]

Woody, you're great, me and my friends are always watching our favourite songs played by you. We all play guitar, but seeing passionate people playing it is fucking great.

Greetings from Chile ! (and sorry for the bad language, we are latinamerican!)

[woodyamsterdam]

@Disgnacio

Hey thanks a lot for your kind words! Don't worry about your English, it's way better than my Spanish:)

Thank you!

[imaboi88]

Dude you're amazing . How long have you been playing and did you attend guitar lessons or did u learnt guitar by yourself ?

[woodyamsterdam]

@imaboi88

Thanks man. I'm playing (on and off) for approx 40 years, and considering that length of time, I still suck more or less;)

Never took lessons. Bought myself a chords book somewhere in 1972 and started practicing.

[imaboi88]

Nice . Hmm 40 years , I bet your age is about 50+ by now . I just started picking up the electric guitar 4 months ago . Yeap i suck but i started out with tabs .

[woodyamsterdam]

@imaboi88

Make that 55;) I started to play punk rock (in a band) in 1978. Before that I was deep into Folk music lol!

[imaboi88]

Lols folk music . Was your band famous in that time ?

[woodyamsterdam]

@imaboi88 Let's say we were well known locally and to some extend also nationally, but 'famous' would be an exaggeration;)

[imaboi88]

Okay so your band was something less than famous

[woodyamsterdam]

@imaboi88

That would be a correct description.

[8gedion8]

echt perfect! bad religion FTW!

[woodyamsterdam]

@8gedion8

Top band zondermeer!

[kkuba196]

[woodyamsterdam]

One of my favorites for personal yet very sad reasons...

[richi902]

[woodyamsterdam]

One of the greatest 2nd wave punk bands!

[fredyshred]

[Calypsol86]

[woodyamsterdam]

More B.R. to come.

[jimmd23]

[woodyamsterdam]

Thanks a lot! I'm working on a few other songs.

I want to conquer the World is one of them.

[woodyamsterdam]

They are a great band to explore. Good music, fast, good lyrics.

[ChineseR0ck]

up and downstrokes?

Keep rockin

[woodyamsterdam]

Mainly downstrokes with an occasional upstroke thrown in. (I really have to adjust my playing style for B.R. ;))

[Nimrod7994]

Bad Religion kick's ass!! Cool man!

[woodyamsterdam]

Thanks! They are an awesome band.

[oompaloompaman5]

[deezol]

lol omgosh! I'm listening to this song right! What a coincidence you post this video while I'm listening to it. lol

Great playing man, more videos!! :D

Btw, could I request a song if its allowed? :o

[woodyamsterdam]

Thanks, and I'm planning to do more. You can make a request as long as it's suitable to cover. (read: not beyond my skills as a guitar player;))

[marcoufologist]

Bad Religion ........

Hummmm..... hammmm ........

I would like to see you play Sex Pistols.

However, it is a song much more work and his talent is more.

So be it.

Marco.

[woodyamsterdam]

Sometimes I am in my Sex Pistols mood so who knows I'll do some more in the future:)

[mymassivehead]

Great cover man. Love some Bad Religion. Great job.

[woodyamsterdam]

Thank you!

[DakotaSkids]

wow i was not expecting this, but i like, awesome job

my favorite album by them is Against the Grain, and No Control

could you cover Unacceptable

im thinking ill put up Big Bang

[woodyamsterdam]

Surprise! I'm slowly running out of Ramones songs so It became time to start looking for a new project.

I have Against the Grain, Suffer and No Control. I'll probably download New Maps of Hell. That will keep me busy for a while;) Next one will probably be 'Billy'.

And thanks for your comment!

[DakotaSkids]

i have some bands for you to cover for example

The Vindictives, Zeke. just look these bands on iTunes

wow i have not heard that album

[walrussalad]

beautiful, bad religion was my favorite band before :D

[woodyamsterdam]

Not anymore? ;)

[walrussalad]

well, i guess i've gone more metal nowadays ;p

[antiflag85]

Awesome cover. I love Bad Religion.

[woodyamsterdam]

Thanks. They are an awesome band. Very consistent and great lyrics.

[KMJKAlfa]

I was playing Ventures and Joe Satriani today. Nothing beats playing Ramones and your own random beats though.

[KMJKAlfa]

Great.

[woodyamsterdam]

Thanks. It's good to play some other great music once in a while.

[1234567890ad45]

[woodyamsterdam]

Thank you!

[Jbrain95]

You have to do Big Bang next!

[woodyamsterdam]

I think it gonna be 'Billy'.

[ejcAsUalTieSxD]
