Gimme Three Steps ☠ Lynyrd Skynyrd ☚ Cover

[karkjones]

where did you get the backing tracks?

[Thelonesniper101]

Great job but i hate the backing track vocals

[MrShredify]

Awesome tone brother, keep it up.

[thepinkfloydsound73]

dud ur sick. right on man

[ashley86697]

Just hit the site there, I like it, I like it a lot. If it's cool with you I'll be passing this one along to my brothers and sisters out here on the West Coast as a good site to visit and maintain an ongoing relation too (with, whatever the proper grammer would be). Anyways thanks for the site as well, cheers mate, later.

[ashley86697]

So it's not a copy? not that there are not top of line so called knock offs, not that I'm saying this beautiful instrument is, whatever it is , it is one stellar looking and sounding apparently that I have to ask, just what are the particular of your guitar. The whole thing is beyond cool it's bloody impressive as is the playing I would like to add. Cheers mate , you've got the sound and the look all in one package my friend. Go for it sir!

[BRD85]

ghost arms

[sixstringfretter]

I have seen and heard many a cover, and I bow in the presence of a Master. Just badass. This is badassery (I know it's not a word, but it fits) at its finest. The way you blacked out everything but your guitar is quite nice. You can really see what's going on.

[dosgoat]

DUDE!!!!



[tomstrat1]

Love the Black Background effect. Great job playing that song :-)

[electron115]

Aside from your wonderful talent, I like the way you light your videos. The guitar is nicely lit and the fact you are wearing black so you blend in with dark (black) background focuses all eyes on your guitar playing (there no background viewable distractions.) Very smart. I should also point out the songs I've watched you play offer every little character note the original artists' play that many other tutorial or covers on YT do not, and for that I commend you. Thank you!

[Morrelz]

I this the common tone u get out of a maple board -tele? Im seekin' for more twangy, Skynyrdish sound and I don't want that dark LP sound.. skynyrd's LP sounds great tho... but, if I would found, let's say, maple boarded used stock American Tele from Fender, would I get a skynyrdish sound with bugera v22?

[PrairieNightMoon]

How can one pair of hands and a single guitar have such stage presence? They mesmerize me for hours!

[JKBPP]

Yeah... who needs a body as long as you have: Your arms, your guitar and your amazing talent.

[sixstringer94]

Lol

you can't see your shirt so it just looks like floating arms.

[EternalAwait]

I love it, all your videos are great!

I was wondering if you could give me some tips on how to get a good crunch sound.

I mostly play heavy metal, so I don't really know how much gain to use to get that sweet crunch sound you got going on there.

Anyway, great videos!

[s0uthernchik]

WOW............ great....... love it!!!!!!

[upnorthbacon]

Ladies and Gentleman behold the amazing guitar playing floating arms! Great job.

[DoubleDown778]

Fantastic job on that. No question the best on youtube.

[335bt]

this guy is one hell of a player.my hats off to you my friend.

[victor222444]

man this guitar brings sad memories.my giutar teacher had that guitar and he was also one of james brown's backing band.and he also died around october this year

[treblejunkie]

So that's how a Tely should sound eh? Nice job.

[amandalively1]

this dude knows his stuff! i see why the views are high.there is a lot of skill, heart, performace and x factor going on here!

[Utuber426]

nice tone!

[62burst]

I'm speechless! Sounds amazing! This is how you play guitar my firends!

What kind of pickups are in that Tele?

[MyTwangyGuitar]

@62burst - Hi, I use Lindy Fralin 'Stock Tele' pickups.

[NathanRyanAllen]

Ive heard this song a million times. MyTwangyGuitar is definitely the one playing this. Good job man.

[act318]

what a beautiful song. it always puts me in a good mood whenever i hear it!

[mikespeed100]

it sounds a little different because it sounds like he is playing it like the original version of the song which was tuned down a half step, the one you normally hear is is regular tuning

[mikespeed100]

jamesburton u r an idiot its plain to see he is making all the correct fingerings for every note that you hear. hmmm i guess he just did this video for a video making excercise what a moron

[VoxRox1]

NIce job! I heard this song many times over the years,and thought to myself "I am going to look on youtube for this cover to learn".Thanks for the upload.

[3atwaffl3s]

Ahhhhhh so soothing to the ears!! :D u rock

[ledzepphead1]

this looks like a pretty simple, but fun song to play.. thanks to you im going to go learn it now. =)



[chevellejack]

Man You jam!!!!!

When I am looking at guitar videos on here and see that Telecaster of yours I always click on the video. Even if it is a song that isn't one of my favorites, I know that you will play it better than the album.

Thanks for sharing with us.

[Spencerianism]

A guitar never had it so good. A real pleasure to watch.

[Trendynails12]

great, my favorite! Gimme Three Licks, Mister 

[tj2214]

@Trendynails12 wow. that sounds SO wrong.

[bloodhoun138]

BADASS! Best playing I have ever seen!

[rennieallen]

Great playing, and that's a lovely tele!

[idae432]

great cover, loving the tone. but seriously, do you greenscreen the rest of your body or something?

[zXGuitarXzGod607]

i love how absolutely nothing shows but his forearms hands and guitar lol

[rcflybry]

Tabs! Who asks for tabs? It's right there in front of your face!

Twangy.. If you're looking for another one to do from Skynyrd.. "Call Me The Breeze!" Merely a suggestion. Ok.. maybe a bit more. LOL!

[MrGuitarplayer3]

kann you send me the tabs please? its so good! you are the best!!!!

[911urded]

nice

[XiLavaXi]

floating arms!

[dumapies]

magic hands coming out of darkness jamming on a tele.....whoa this is some good weed

[spekulatius90]

@dumapies i thought the same bro xDDDD happy 420

[rosederek88]

Finally somebody got it right f****in FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!...Good job bro keep it up. I,d also like to make a request of more SKYNYRD if you could do it  thanks

[erlsv]

I agree, I'm generally VERY critical of any covers of Skynyrd's music, but this is absolutely awesome! It is right on.......Very well done.......

[Smithwrtw]

Best cover ive seen

[WUZIGULUHU]

to bad dont have a telicaster guess i cant learn it bi

[rcflybry]

@WUZIGULUHU That's funny because the original was played on a Gibson Les Paul! Yes you can learn it!

[WUZIGULUHU]

@rcflybry how u know i hav a les paul and i did learn it haha

[rcflybry]

@WUZIGULUHU Then rock on you renegade!

[WUZIGULUHU]

@rcflybry haha ok!

[redcop123456789]

5 people didnt ask for 3 steps

[THEfbplayer]

hmm wheres his pick? i mean hes just puttin his fingers together, and wheres the singer the base and the drum commin from?

[1994aharris]

@THEfbplayer

Well, hes probably either playing along with the song, or has a backing track of the song. :) But everything he's playing is correct.

[dalstar925]

@1994aharris def a back track or something he put together himself...i'm impressed w/ the guitar though...gary plays a LP for this song...and this tele is every bit as hot as one of those...MMM MMM!

[licksnkicks]

Perfection! It looks like your guitar is floating because of the black background and your black T-shirt!

[treunlneiss]

i love the coloring on that guitar.. and the creme binding is awesome.



[sangurucuari]

che magnifico stumento la chitarra

[Circasurvivor92]

looks like that missy elliot video

[weardalrocks4]

magical floating arms and guitar!!!! Great cover

[BlakeJob9]

Wow, are you sure that's not the real song? Huge props

[bugwit]

@waffles: crank it up!

[getsomewaffles]

hey i cant get y amp to sound like this  i have a fender hot rod delux so i bet it can sound like this can anybody help

[GuitarSlinger2112]

@getsomewaffles Probably your guitar? Single coil helps this sound. I have a strat and hot rod 410 and I get awesome skynyrd tones

[AlecL15]

all your videos look like there are two floating arms playing a floating guitar.

[busterboypk]

Don't look now, but you're listening to Slash play Gimme Three Steps!

[DistortionCrazy]

@busterboypk what, your retarted

[militarymomridenour]

very very good i am going to a concert from a band that can sing and play anything and i love listening to you play you are an amazing player.. thanks for sharing...

[Rocky169]

Awesome job!

Thanks!

[Buckhead1959]

A PERFECT RENDITION my friend. What are you running you Tele through and any effects ?

[rami939]

Man,you're a pro at this !

[sniperfxxx]

nice, man!!!

[WhiteChocolate5424]

what amp are you using?



[Mrbigg272727]

smoooooooooothhhhhhhh

[xraytech2011]

In 1985 when I met my wife Linda, I started calling her Linda Lou. When we got married, she didnt have a middle name so she added LOU as her middle name when she changed her last name to mine. What a girl, ( by the way, I DID kiss her ! ).

[NeilFraudstrong]

@xraytech2011

Fun fact:

Ronnie used to add, "Wait a minute mister/I didn't even stick her." in concert.

[verlew]

I've played many of these songs hundreds of times live, but learn new nuances on every vid you post.

[piratesbelay]

Osama Bin Laden's last words !!

[RickyRocker821]

you make it seem so easy

[RickyRocker821]

did anybody notice his arms were floting in mid air!

[frogman957]

:21 1:21 2:27 3:43  Times for the four lead lines...four variants...

Thanks for the GREAT lesson!

[216inka]

this is a great job! 

[VigilantOutlaw]

Great Video!!!

It does make me wonder what was going through the four dissenters mind. I guess maybe they just don't appreciate jamming Southern Rock!

[bassbeasty]

@VigilantOutlaw You are absolutely correct........probably missed thier karaoke night!!....also, you are assuming they actually have a mind

[MultiBaldEagle]

Eat your heart out, Gary Rossington!

[MultiBaldEagle]

First of all, being from the south in the 1970s, I LOVE Skynyrd and second, this is outstanding, my man!!!!!!

[tombuttner]

Oh my god, the arms are not attached to a body!!!

[xingzix]

amazing!!!!!!!!!

Im Japanese girl and love Lynerd Skynerd!!

I want to play my guitar like you!!!

[leskat87]

Just amazing, like all your work! Could you do a cover of "that smell"? I try to play it the best I can but you always plays some chords or some riffs that I didn't realize. Greetings from Spain!

[WhatTheDeuce100]

AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!! FLOATING ARMS ARE REAAALY GOOD AT GUITAR!!!!!!

[edcrabb]

Rossington & Collins would be proud to play with you.

[davis279]

[peepff]

[deeznuttz315]

[timbonjovi]

Great job!, I actually was playing most of this song right after all, thanks for confirming this. Now as far as your other songs, I've been playing alot of them all wrong, Im slowly figuring out how you do it (the right way). You've made guitar playing fun for me again. Thank you.

[MPpeppusz]

[guitarbob58]

Nobody is a Great player!

[shirty19]

Pure Legend Spot On Fella Nice 1 For Sharing Job Well Done

[z26o]

@MyTwangyGuitar Thank GOD your guitar survived!

[squierplayer]

@MyTwangyGuitar funniest comment I have ever seen on YouTube haha

[shjhdhah]

Hi MTG, just some positive feedback, even though jamming is always fun, your time and energy to post these is well appreciated!

It has been about 35 years that I been waiting to learn some of these.

Beside the RnR, keep up the rockabilly and 50's.....these are fun to learn.

[ericjc17]

what kind of camcorder/ microphone are you using good sound and picture quality also good cover

[Harddrivinman]

I love your vids, and your playing is top notch. I've been playing for 30 years , and every time I watch you play I learn so much......Thanks for that.

[Harddrivinman]

I love your vids, and your playing is top notch. I've been playin' for 30 years, and every time I watch you I learn so much....Thanks for that.

[classiclistener01]

Are you Keith Richards, Joe Perry, Jimmy Page or Eric Clapton messin' with us? You're "Right On" and NEVER MISS A NOTE!!! I just love watching and listening as you play that guitar(s)! :) If you're not famous - you should be!

[classiclistener01]

I really hope there is some way you can soon re-post your version of "Midnight Rambler!" Although EVERYTHING you do is GREAT, to me, that is the best! :)

[1996Prashant]

WHERE IS YOUR BODY??

[self312]

Awesome job!

[rockitmn]

still lovin your stuff Sam, I'm still alive and well. Two years off work now, been tough at my age. I want your CCR DVD soon a s I can save some pennies. Always loved the groove to three steps. Listen to the bass line during the break on Lovin Spoonful's 60's hit "Jugband Music". Sounds like Skynard lifted it directly, I'm not criticizin 'em, we all do it. Blues and R&R is one big stew lol. I really love the low down run in "Jugband", Another great job on three steps Sam!!!

[ViniciusMaffei]

GREAT job on this song man! You sure got to do more Lynyrd's and other southern stuff. What about Allman Brothers?

Your channel rocks.... I was missing a good classic rock guitar channel on YouTube. Yours kicks ass!

[TheDrumChannel]

I love southern rock - We should do some. Great job as usual.

[fenorboi]

Fantastic rhythm

You are incredible

[AHS8494]

Thank you for this video. The sound is very very good. Are you using amp? To be able to see the lesson of this song would be marvellous.

[ElectricHellfire001]

@AHS8494 the lessons right there just watch it

[SuperArtDeco]

Smokin'!

[mudducks10801]

Thanks for all you do. you save me lots of time and give me inspiration. Just wanted to let you know I appreciate it.

[trackocean]

does anyone know what tele this dude plays?

[VBSouthpaw]

@trackocean It's a home-brew thing he built himself. Sounds sick!

[Antani695]

Really good marshally tone.

[maderman101]

if your ever up to it i can see you doing an awsome jungle love cover! your awsome.

[bigsbychick]

one of my favs :)

[seg333]

i'm just speechless. by the way did you enter that AC/DC cover contest a few months ago? I'd be surprised to hear you didn't do well if you did.

[seg333]

@seg333 a few insults? that is pure BS. be content in knowing that you are doing more good here than you know. screw 'em.

[n97223]

@seg333 AMEN! I Agree!

[icitnow]

One of my favorite Skynard songs! Very nice! As always-I love your playing!
