  • Really cool guitar! But you're playing the riff like a spaz :/

  • All that technology and the sound quality is still poor. Skill comes from the player, not from the instrument.

  • Guitar ain't that advanced and it looks gay, it looks like you glued tin foil to your guitar

  • You couldn't tell that you're playing the riff wrong?

  • how could you butcher this song and have a guitar that cool..? needs work.. a lot of work.

  • I'm sure the guitar is good, but I am not impressed :( I don't like the sound

  • this actually hurts my ears

  • proper cover! keep it up!

  • would still say not as advanced as kaoss mansons lol, however being a goood guitarist isnt always about the guitars ;)

  • if i got a custom it would look like that with an ebony fingerboard, a different shape, dimarzio evolutions and a big sticker on the headstock saying "CrIsPyToEnAiLzz!"

  • This guitar is advanced but not as advanced as Matt's guitar.

  • F.C.G. (Fuckin' Cool Guitar)

  • Manson did not make this guitar dont relate it to manson because it has a mirror and the guy is playing a muse song.

  • Manson all the way!!!!!!!!!

  • Manson guitar is more advanced

  • why didnt you play with the fuzz?

  • sounds awesome , dont listen to these loser assholes.

  • even matt has to strum for the intro

  • @kleptopalub

    who dosent have 2?

    O.o

  • @Leafhenkon watch, he doesn't strum on the intro

  • @kleptopalub Oh sry i skipped to the solo XD.

    but well i can promise that matt can play the intro without looking.

    hm to be honest "banshee" i think you are playing the verse wrong but still a good cover :)

  • gay....XD manson all the way!!

  • i don't like the sound

    with my fender strato this so so much better

    how much cost it?

  • These kinds of videos need to be made a bit more interesting to watch. You should try jumping around a bit. Go mad like Martt does when he's on stage! I know I would if I could play the guitar.

  • Have a look at my other vid then.... the Improvised Live Solo (Full Version)

  • Its extremely hard to play a song on guitar while jumping about like matt, thats why muse are so good live as they just own the stage.

  • @rik102 Whos Martt?

  • This song is mainly guitar walls... boring to play as hell

  • lol, i said dimebag was better, but Alexi's a way better guitarist than you're giving him credit for

  • for me matt is the best......these days he is the only one who doing many solos than any other bands in the world....

    Matt rock!!!!

  • dude u have a mesa and some kind of crazy space age guitar - i would of thought you would of got a much better sound from that rig.

  • Sounds fine at this end thanks ... maybe some new speakers for your PC would help?

  • i would of thought my 7.1 surround sound and your videos 3* rating speaks for itself? anyways the verses sound good but the intro riff needs to be picked and not hammered on. i gave it 4*

  • i meant decade !

  • I'm sorry, but that is invalid. Though he is the best musician of this decade, people like Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix are better guitarists than him. Don't get me wrong, obsessive Muse fans, I also love Muse with all my heart, but thinking that he is the best guitarist ever (because 100 years ago there were barely any guitarists) is just plain stupid.

  • Just because they're the old, classic guitarists, they're automatically the best? They ARE great artists, but saying they're the best because they're older is very narrow minded. Just because Matt came along after Hendrix, Clapton, Page, and is less famous, he can't be as good, if not better than them?

  • No, I'm not saying that. Matthew Bellamy is original, but not revolutionary like Hendrix was. Clapton is a blues guitarist and Page is as well, a blues guitarist who along with Iommi started to set standards for Heavy Metal. If Matt will start to set standards for Space Rock Opera music, then I will reconsider what I said. It is an undeniable fact that even Clapton is a better guitarist than Matt.

  • however not necessarily a better musician. popularity is mainly luck and people you know not musical talent alone.

  • what its the price of this guitar¿?

  • HOLYSHIT did someone just diss matt bellamy? they have to deal with ME!!!! lol.

  • Someones under 13 years old.

  • sounds so clean.

  • ur playin the intro wrong

  • Whoa guys chill, this video is mostly about showing the cool custom guitar, so let's try not getting carried away debating if muse sucks or not. People have different tastes in music so muse is not always everyones favorite.

  • but muse is amazing, just to put an end to this debate.

  • hehe, although personally muse is my most favorite band. CONCLUTION, end of conversation. happy? =D

  • i am very happy :)

  • As Basil once memorably observed, "It'd be easier to train a chimpanzee!"

  • IDK, personally you could never get me to like this guitar. I appreciate how much time would have went into it, but I just don't like it.

    Just my opinion.

  • You're calling Muse noise???? Heathen.

  • What Commandodudes is saying is that 'technically' its all one solo because you cant see a drummer and bassist playing with him. That also means that 'technically' the guitarist has no head and is missing the bottom half of both of his legs. Most interesting.

  • by gosh the intro sounds awful

  • No. All of the effects are built into this custom guitar. It also has a MiDi output for piano sound etc.

  • chords are good but intro needs to be picked for the open strings

  • fair enough if that's your way of playing it. but its lame. the solo needs to be tremolo picked atleast

  • hahahaha... "solo".

  • You know nothing about guitar.

    This song consists of:

    A riff,

    Chords,

    and a solo.

    The whole thing isn't a solo...

  • that is all obvious, but technically, this whole thing is a solo, because he is playing alone... do you see a drummer or singer, no. There is only the guitarist in this video, which is the purpose, to show off the guitar. If you don't know, the defininition of the word Solo is: to act alone, which he is making the Whole video, a solo. Now you can go screw you mom happily and lose your virginity to a prostitute.

  • just admit youre wrong man. its a cover. i know what you are saying and i get your logic. but you and i both know what people mean when they refer to a solo. NO ONE that actually plays and loves guitar would call this a solo, at all. look up the word pedantic, i think you will find it amusing. maybe not as much as me though hahaha also look up irony, there is a little here as well. maybe you can spot it hahaha lame

  • who are you? Did I ask for your opinion? no, yes I know what everyone means for the umpteenth time! I SAID FOR THE LAST TIME: Technically, notice I said TECHNICALLY, it's a solo because he's playing by HIMSELF,there is noone else in the video! So TECHNICALLY I'm right, it depends how you look at it, now Drop it!

  • 1. i am above you 2. you didnt need to... you dont take looking like an idiot well do you. so your definition of a solo, 'technically' speaking, is a person playing by his/herself. the band is usually playing while a solo is in progress. by the way, technically speaking a solo is a point during a song/instrumental where a certain instrument is highlighted. so again, this isnt a solo in ANY way. moron. ooooh im good :D... douche

  • If it was "techincally" a solo in YOUR definition, then he wouldn't have a backing track with bass and drums playing.

    Retarrrrrd.

    And obviously why the hell would any guitarist refer to this as a solo, if you wana laugh at moominking13, don't make an ass of yourself while doing it.

    You got schooled by inpsychotive

  • listen jackass, I said fukin drop it, I think I konow there's a backtrack fagget, the drummer and bassist arent physically there. Actually I just schooled the inpsychotive.

  • You only want to drop it since you don't want to admit that you're wrong.

  • how am I wrong, you all must be blind then! do you see multiple people in the video? no, yes I know he means solo as in the part where he plays a faster and harder part, but LITERALLY it is a solo because SOLO means ALONE / SINGLE / BY ONE'S SELF you name it! and he is alone, and I know theres drums and bass, but there arent actual people in the video behind him playing, so stay out of it and leave me alone for GODS SAKE. DROP IT because I'm sick of explaining it to FUCKS like you!go eat a shit

  • yeah. people know what solo means in the dictionary you wannabe pedant. the use of it in music is clear. you are wrong and evidently a musical rebel lol idiot

  • hahaha ouch lol

  • actually the whole song isn't a solo, and the solo isn't much of a solo. but epic song none the less

  • that a sweet ass guitar

  • good job mate, dont care if anyone says it crap. its not :) well done

  • Nice guitar..

    But ur playing the song with the wrong tabs

  • Thanks, but I'm just fooling around playing it my way - not your way, not anybody else's way.

  • not about how you lay it, but your kinda faking it because the trick is also to play the riff with your right hand in the righttiming, just tapping can be done by any 8 year old...

  • When you have a fernandes sustainer in your guitar like matt does for this song, you don't need to pick during the intro.

  • ... uhm you do need to pick it :') not picking it only shows you are a nub who relies on the guitar not on your own skills...

    the whole trick of SS riff is as i said before, to be able to tap the right speed while strumming the string in the right timing, those 2 apart (like he does only tapping) are way too easy and not the correct sound.

  • He's just demonstrating the guitar. Yes you CAN pick it, no you don't HAVE to. We all know that you're just jealous that while you're playing Warrock (whatever the hell that is), this guy has this cool guitar and nice amp. And has skills.

  • yes you HAVE to, or otherwise it just sounds shit and shows you are a nub, and no i haven't played warrock in 6 months....

    + skills? were? i dont see the skills he has :S offcoarse here its about that banshee (which i think is pretty ugly) and he shows what he can do, but why use a sustainer on a fast riff, that just doesnt connect...

    ah i se, you are america, yeah americans always seem to pick on the people themselves and not on what they say (thats exactly what you just did)

  • 1) I don't really see how tapping is noobish or sounds bad, and since when is picking a requirement?

    2) It's a demo of the guitar, not his skill. I was talking about in his other videos by the way.

    3) Great job stereotyping 2 continents.

  • haha you are so stupid, i explain it several times and you still don't understand my point, and again you attack me in person, great job to fit in the stereotype person i created.

    1) I don't really see how tapping is noobish or sounds bad, and since when is picking a requirement?

    i diodnt say tapping wa noobish, but it IS when you play this song.. and if you don't hear the difference then this discussion is over as you don't know enough about this stuff.

  • Thanks man. The vid is about the guitar, not about me.

  • dude whats a termin and like whats the deal with how u controll ur fuzz? i mean do u push the "horn" to controll the fuzz? anyways thats a sweet guitar

  • was that the fuzz factory? what settings?

  • Great Guitar.

    great song.

    well played.

    Yeah!

  • it probably costs less than half of the Gibson les paul's i've seen out there

  • well looks like i'll just pass up my college education and buy one of those.

  • mo dude.. school fisrt then this. ull get 10+ more

  • of course i will. i'm just joking.

  • hell yes!

    but can you say "life savings"?

  • give me

  • hey..

    why don't you make a competition that the 1st price is The Banshee..

    i'm the 1st one who register for the competition

  • It's nice, but I'd never play anything that techonologically advanced, just give me some stompboxes and a sweet amp ;)

  • its a really nice guitar live in the uk and i want one custom made

  • Trust me, it sounds just fine through a Mesa 4 x 12 cab. Speakers on a PC don't do the tone justice.

  • stfu... look at the other videos of this guitar... the player is excellent

  • So, where the hell do you pick one of these up and how much do they cost?

  • This is a one-off custom made for me, it isn't sold anywhere. Took about US$3,000 in parts and 300 hours in labour to make it.

  • Is there a web-site or anything, or do you have to call the factory? Cuz I have 2 guitars but if thats my third I'd say thats the last one I'd ever need.....

  • Go to w w w . guitareasy . c o m (I've spaced that out so that Youtube doesn't reject it). Its an ebay store but on the left margin halfway down the page there is a link to Custom Guitars. Click on that link and you will see how much work went into it, and why this may stay the only one of its kind.

  • Thanx man :) Now I just need like 4 grand lol

  • man, I don't know if this is the real tone or not, but you sure rock! I wish I could play like you. maybe one day ahah

  • Awesome guitar

    how much does that thing weigh?!

  • Just a tad more than a Les Paul.

  • "just a tad more than a Les Paul"??! those things are fuck heavy!you must be using strap locks then!

  • Why so angry man? What's your problem?

  • y would u want a guitar thats heavier then a les paul

  • Don't know about you, but I choose my guitars for tone, playability and features. I don't take a set of scales to the guitar store.

  • hahahaha

    this guitar is insaneeeeeeee

    your mad good too man

    that mustve cost a fortune

    idk but right now my dream guitar is the m1d1

  • if it cost ya 3 grand, why not have made it a 7-string?!

  • Because I only wanted a 6 string ....

  • i guess there's nothing wrong with that. it's just with a 7 you would have so much more of a window of opurtunity

  • dude muse is awesome

  • Wasn't this a one-of-a-kind, custom made guitar? Who the hell is everyone?

  • Beautifull Warmoth Z Body and really interesting guitar... =)

  • this guitar is bitchen but it seems to have a lot of useless shit on it

    but i do suppose thats the point

    i love the Theremin control, thats really brilliant actually.

    how did you wire that portion?

  • The copper sheet on the upper horn of the body is an RF antenna which has its own PCB behind (embedded in the body). When its switched on, waving your hand in front interferes with the antenna signal which then changes the compression setting on the inbuilt fuzz effect - so the pitch/comp changes according to how much you "interfere" with the antenna signal (with your hand).

  • right.

    i love theremin's, and i know you're not the first to mount one, but goddamn thats cool

  • put a swiss army knife in it as well as a bottle opener, while your at it maybe you could have sat nav in it as well..so you can find your way home.

  • you should make one of those things out of a Bo Diddley box guitar so you could put more stuff in it

  • the intro insn't hammer on's its tremolo picking playing a note but having the low d in between each note

  • Thanks, but I do know how Matt plays it, and this time round I played it different. Cheers.

  • well to be picky ( excuse the pun ) it's not tremolo picked. its 16 beats per bar. if you tremolo pick it sounds rurrbish. :P

  • owned? haha

  • ???? Care to clarify?

  • its good....really good....plus the argument with the hammer ons instead of picking was good...so you owned...

  • It simply sounds really awesome.

    Even if I don't know that song, I liked it.

    For me, this guitar seems to me one BIG monster. Not because of the guitar size, but for the Sound. :)

  • yup its nothing compared to bellamy's guitars without a kaoss pad.

  • Fine, but there is only so much you can fit in one guitar. That's why Matt has several ....

  • no he has several because he plays different styles thus different pickups. Most of his guitars have the same shit in it.

  • Agreed. But "most" is not all. Some of his guitars have the same pickups but different effects/features ... quite possibly because he can't fit it all in one guitar (my first point)

  • ok fair point, i think im valid for both of us when i say we both have correct knowledge :P

  • cos'è sta roba!!!?

    ma dai....

  • I think this Italian translates to :

    What is stuff?

    But by .... .... which I do not understand.

  • I wish I had that amp..

  • It was good.

    but dont hammer on the main riff.

    you'll just have to strum quite fast:D

    appart from that. s'all good.

  • beautiful guitar...

  • The guitar is amazing.

    You could do something better as player, how can you stay quiet playing this song???

  • Nice guitat.. But u r playing main riff is totally wrong and sounds awful.

  • Different? Yes. Wrong? Well if my name was Matt, then, probably yes again. I like to fool around and play this several ways and this video shows one of those ways. Thanks for your interest - I look forward to seeing your video of this.

  • I didn't say u r bad guitar player ) If it's the way u wanted to play, then it's ok, I misunderstood. I don't have any videos of me playing guitar, but I have some mp3 samples :)

  • Almost all of the song was played differently to how matt bellamy plays it, but it still sounded awesome so whats the problem?

  • so did you make that guitar yourself then??

  • No. A close friend made it for me.

  • HAha let me get this "friend's" number. Lol.

  • I think you should try covering a song entirely using your guitar...well..except for the drums, unless you manage to make it so each string plays a different drum part?

    Idk..just an idea. If you do, totally put it up on youtube! :D

  • Actually, when you select drums each string defaults to being a different piece of drum kit automatically, so you can play the whole drum kit at once. Interesting, but near impossible to play properly. I'll stick with the guitar pieces thanks !!

  • Up to you, but it'd probably be a lot easier if you fingerpicked each string.

    So..maybe that way would be a bit more practical useage of the drum kit sound?

  • Hey, I'm a guitar player not a drummer. If I REALLY wanted to play drums I would go buy a drum kit.

  • Hey. Don't get me wrong. I get what you're saying and I understand it crystal clear.

    I'm just throwing some ideas into the wind.

  • OK. Cheers.

  • ll your advatising a pritty cool guitar though a legendery amp but u just need some one with some skill to play it then u will get some people buying it

  • Advertising? Not sure where you got that one .... no one here is selling a guitar. Since I'm not selling a guitar or a music DVD I thought it was OK to just have some fun. Fair enough? If I was trying to sell something then I would sure try a bit harder, but then I wouldn't do that through Youtube.

  • I got a question, ehmm is the finish a mirror or something? What does it consist of?

  • The pickguard is made from 1mm thick steel sheet which has been hand cut to shape and then chrome plated and polished. It adds a bit of weight to the guitar (because it is also larger than the average pickguard) but not too much to worry about. The rest of the body (except for the copper RF antenna on the opper horn) is professionally painted in Glasurit metallic silver with clear coats over.

  • How can I get a custom guitar like this or with a Kaoss pad!?

    Sounds great

  • Thanks. Manson Guitars in the UK may do a Kaoss pad for you.

  • Lol at alyssa. Hypocrite.

    Can't take criticism yourself eh?

  • i guess tone really is in the finger, sorry bit harsh...im not digging the tone...maybe because its a webcam or something.

    Dont you alternate pick that begining riff,it will sound alot cleaner

  • all of it's played with picking, no hammer ons.

  • Thanks - I agree that's the way most play it. But just for the heck of it I did something different.

  • Thanks. I don't have the tabs for this - I have a backing CD and worked out the guitar by ear. You can find some tabs through google. I have plans for a Kaoss pad for the next guitar - thought about it for this one but there's just not enough room for a Kaoss AND the other effects already in there.

  • you have an amazing guitar and skills :D why the fuck is this 2 stars? definitely deserves 5 stars imo. jealous pricks.

  • the intro has been butchered (same with the solo)--it doesn't sound any better, or serve any purpose to play it with one hand. other wise the rest is okay.

    and the backing track your using... the drums are completely wrong! where'd you get it?

  • Thanks for feedback. Criticism duly noted. Got CD backing track from a friend.

  • I'm fairly sure all these people who are rating you 2 stars don't play guitar. :S

    It's not terrible playing, not fantastic, but not 2 stars only.

  • Thanks & cheers.

  • Agreed about the intro. Play it however you like. Not like we need anymore Matt Bellamy clones in the world.

    Btw how does kmadox know you're blonde lol?
