Decent job. Being helpful as the other poster says... work on your bends. You have a tendancy to over bend (beyond the note you are going for. Slow it down and practice where to stop your bends and you will get them down. Keep up the great work! :)
Yeah, your a sick guitarist, maybe try a massive harmonic at the end, and the bit before the end, try and make them more clean and it would sound radd :)
not bad dude but the second to last set of licks is all double picking - no hammers or pull offs - it sounds completely different like that - took me forever to get up to speed on that picking part!
thats exactly my point you guys arent getting what I'm saying...one dude said it was simple soloing and another guy said it was insanely amazing blah blah blah, my point is, it is insanely amazing but its played using more basic soloing scales etc, it doesnt matter how anythings played as long as it sounds good is my point.
it doesn't matter how it's played? are you insane? the way it's played makes all the difference between effort and just plain lazyness that's why some new guitarist modify their solos to sound good but it's realy bs.
this guy plays good, not insanely amaizing. he still needs more practice for his fourth finger to be better than average.
If he plays it fine without practice with his fourth finger then he does not need more practice with it. That was not the best ever, but that was better than average. Don't look at the technique. Listen...if he did that with out and fingers using his nose it would still be good.
good point, when I solo I play pretty much what I "feel", granted its in the right key etc.. but I'm not a note for note guy. I don't think it means I'm lazy. But I may interepet the song differently. And as long as the chord progression is the same people will notice the song. Play Loud/Play Proud!
sorry but is basic even zakk says that in the tutorial video, he said its just pentatonic patterns which is basic, and he also said just learn the pentatonic and you can play a damn solo hahahaha
No.. i'm saying who cares if it's a basic solo... like playing something that's basic somehow minimizes its inherent worth? No shit knowing the minor pentatonic is prerequisite to playing the guitar, I'm just annoyed by these people who try to swing by and invalidate your performances because something's not super hard to play...
You say you love angus young, damn he's one of the lazy guitarists. Ever played Thunderstruck intro? Thats 4 notes repeated several times with some shit at the end. My point is, it doesn't need to be fancy to sound good, so get over yourself and jump on i-tunes and listen to some real music.
googd job man good job but dude one ? why the hell did u change the pick up our of that guitar i mean it has gold hardware u should haveleft it alone the emgs dont look right in it active pickups r so shity
well drop c is 1 step down. so tuning 2 notes down which is 2 frets. for this song its just drop Db its half step down which is 1 note one fret and then drop the lowest string a whole step
there is a thing called feeling when u play guitar...i make the most fucked up faces when recording...i try to hide them when playing gigs but its always there..some people dont show it much though...when i video tape myself playing at home i watch it wondering if something went wrong when my mother was pregnant :]
guitarsists are shocking for "talking" what they play without realising it, i must confess a couple of times ive caught myself even stopping breathing in an effort to hit all the right notes!!!
Feeling, if you cant hum it you cant play it. If you sing the notes out loud and move while you play you loosen up your muscles and play better, if tense vibrato sucks, good job, there is no vibrato in this lead so you just play it!
There is no such thing as, "feeling." Do you really think guitarists will make such stupid fucking faces and dumb grimaces while recording? It's all an act.
Shut up no it's not. You probably don't even play so you probably don't even know what he is talking about. So unless you can play, don't be goin around telling other players that they are wrong! You must play Avril Lavign if you do play. Now THAT has no emotion! =p
Who the fuck is US?1 Your just jealous that you cant play one of the best instruments of all time! Just cuz we don't play the skin flute, doesn't give you fags a bad name!
By us I mean other guitarists. You idiot metal heads give the guitar a pitiful reputation amongst REAL instruments. Your preference in mediocrity in technique and music pales against actually serious musicians.
DUDE!!!...the licks are there,but when ya shreddin Zakk ya gotta have strong,wide Vibrato.I must agree with JoshlsNumber3.A guitar is not a violin bro.Bend those strings for vibrato man.Zakks got a post of him doin a walk through on this solo.I would suggest watchin it....Good luck
Your vibrato is really weak and thin. Instead of doing a "side to side" vibrato like a violinist, try to do more of an up and down motion and widen it up.
Hey, I'd be great if your bends wouldn't be off key :). First few were flat, then that one where the solo builds up was sharp... I wonder hoy you learn to play so "fast" parts but don't realize the bends are off... ???
I'm well aware the bends are off pitch... thanks for being like the 3948902419th to point this out, but this was recorded almost 2 years ago, and I just don't feel like re-recording it
The trapazoids come on LP Standards. This guy has a Custom. I incidentally have a Custom just like this one. I also have a '91 Standard with the trap inlays you're talking about. My Custom has the standard gold hardware and original electronics. Customs also have an ebony fret board, a harder wood than found on Standards, which use rosewood. Hardwoods make for a brighter tone, softer woods like rosewood a darker tone. I personally prefer Standards. My Standard is a cherry sunburst with EMGs...
Yep, I even faked the mistakes, I actually paid Zakk Wylde to play it slightly off so I could make it more realistic as if I had played it. Your version's much more authentic... oh wait, you have no videos... please, I don't have the need to go around misrepresenting myself on the internet, please refer to my 35 other videos and various guitar lessons on vanderbilly if you think i'm 'faking' it
Keep your bands... don't lose it to soon... it will be great... and don't forget to play the solo according to timing... great job!
