Me playing The Sidewinder sleeps tonight

[IncendioGlobal]

Well done kido

[wesmatron]

~Ignore the idiots buddy. You're on your way on a great journey. All you need is a tune-up. Your strumming is nice and fluid for someone your age.

Stick at it and live the dream.

[Lizardmanification]

cool kid :) + sweet guitar

[stetsongray1975]

nice work!

[Fender1976uk]

Don't listen to those who say your not worthy :) the fact is that you are playing, you like it! your having fun and owning a vinatge Marauder at your age is very very cool :) better than those modern chinese guitars

[initiald31]

ppl give u shit. of course ur not tht great, youre young and i bet ur still learning. im glad u got a marauder, ur a lucky fella im trying to buy myself one

[Fender1976uk]

Nice guitars those Gibson Marauder :) I have a 1977 version and its one of those guitars that gives you a very nice range of tone! for those who want something abit different

[roostatronic]

good stuff big man

[cheeseppuff]

good job and all, but i just wanna say if thats the 1974 marauder i would never use it, because there was only one marauder produced and shipped in 1974, you look like u got ur self a 75

[309502854]

you're so out of tune, you're like fergie on crack

[3bertface01]

awesome man this R.E.M song is a really underrated i reckon.

[joeyjokester]

@3bertface01 its prolly because michael hates it, and refuses to do it live.

[Jayrbf13]

Very Good Man, Way better than I could do. Thanks for the post.

[Crazyworld1975]

Great Job!!! Way more then I could do!!!

Thanks for posting!

[pplrmean]

where did you find that guitar?

[neox100]

Awesome!

[TheWalkerS04]

Come on...He`s propably only 10-12 so what do you want??? For that age its really good.

Can it be that your Guitar is a little bit out of tune???

[qprdude]

i cant beliv people think this guy is good

[TheSmashedPumpkin]

I know right?

so out of tune, it sounds terrible to me =/

all the commentors must be friends and relatives, or sympathetic to his youth

[surfwaxafghani]

i think they're responding to how cool it is that he likes REM you fucking assholes

[TheSmashedPumpkin]

really do you?

No, I don't.

I think they're commenting on his guitar skills.

[a4apple06]

if you dont like then keep your mouth shut you mong at least hes trying. your watchin it. and hes good anyway

[greatwhitehopes]

1974? There was only 1 shipped in '74. I think that's a '75...

[RAPIDEYEMOVEMENT358]

one word, AWESOME

[picassoui]

you are absolutely awesome mickey

[bazfanv2]

thats really good, keep it up kid, and you wont be a social security tax fiddling insurance screwing loser, like most of the kids today.

[luvuall07]

A clever rendition of a much-loved song. I wonder what it may sound like on a Spanish Guitar? Any offers?

[tanyaj24]

I see another Peter Buck coming along! LOL WONDERFUL!!!

[jpg0572]

wow - what chords are those?

[GibsonGuitarsForever]

Your guitar?

[Airgutarman]

Man, your parents must be proud.

[marokokisetter]

1) Props for playing R.E.M - the younger kids gotta listen to genuine solid bands like them

2) Slow Down and feel the song

3) Make sure to tune your guitar.. its off

thanks for sharing dude.

[metallkylling]

what THE H*** did you tune your guitar to? it might sound better if you use a tuner and turn some distortion and higher volume.

[psychonaut33]

hey if you ever use distortion, try turning the tone knob all the way down, much better sound, kind of annoying though if your switching through parts of the song though

[PBuckFan]

è bill kaulitz da piccolo !!

[trogdorsmaster]

no offence you playing is awesome but they make these things called hair brushes...use one

[TallyHo22]

lmao. who cares though? doesn't need to brush his hair. looks funny though xD

[glamLizzie]

Wow fantasctico!!!!..un futuro Peter Buck!!!

[coulsonsam87]

[ministerofpuppets]

[RokDAWG1]

I agree!! Keep up the good work!!

[fernandopipe2004]

[jonnda]

Nice axe kid, keep rockin out.

[planetrocker1]

Your doin' great kid, keep it up and don't listen to the idiot comments left on here...

[idanl5]

hey greendayluverchebug..but after thinking about that its quite hard to sing that song like Michael stipe..and i think mikey plays it even faster than the original.

[Bizzy49565]

[Greendayluverchebug]

I know thats what i have been telling him to do! SING MIKEY SING!

[idanl5]

[samshark1978]

[sirvegeta]

Okay kid. I am the very proud owner of one of the RARE Marauders...and lemme tell you..I learned how to make it sound good before even picking it up with another guitar. YOU ARE NOT WORTHY!

[mistermikey123]

How the hell you get that guitar ?!?! It's soooo freaking rare, so sad that Gibson discontinued it :( . Oh well keep it up lil guy

[dalodeper]

that's a really cool guitar. Where'd a little guy like you get that?

[Levesque999]

Where'd you get that?

[jvmalum]

Just bought a abaco burst custom marauder and I love it, Great sounding and playing guitar. you sounds great to. Don't get rid of that guitar it might be worth a lot of money some day. Unless you want to sell to me then, by all means sell it :-)

[tungaspunkrock]

thats a really nice marauder, i also have one, but its natural color, where did you get it?

[mistermikey123]

Thanks everyone and Drnobe I'm thirteen and have been playing nine months.

[joeyjokester]

@mistermikey123 ok this sounds really screechy can you please delete this video and repost. I understand its an older video, and so you are better now, but put up a version we can all enjoy listening to.

Btw, intro/chorus is D D/F# D D/F# G Cadd9 G Am... then to end out the intro/chorus you do a C (strum once then pluck high E and then B strings) then Em (strum once then pluck high E and then B strings)

and please please play slower. too fast, wrong strum pattern. But a good effort.

[drnobe]

Very good! Keep on practicing. Maybe you can earn your college with your guitar. But definiately you've got enough talent to play in a band some time. May i ask how old you are?

[bettiethebadger]

it could be any song with a guitar

[jamiechef1979]

way to go mate!!!! you are ace!!! i was singing the whole way!!

[tomdude182]

dude i love your guitar, where did you get it??

[danophile07]

its a little off.... but u can tell its from that song, nice-ish guitar as well

[Yuyo1977]

damn nice u boy!
