Wow, Came to you because i'm a sucker for cheap guitars. Great tone - uncomplicated settings and great playing. And probably not a real fender or gibson in sight (not that i have anything against those two, my main guitar being a gorgeous Am. Strat) But to be honest i now own a few cheap guitars that, after tweaking them a little) sound and play just as well.
awesome skills, just curious tho, r u self taught? thats a lot of progress in 4 years if u r? keep the vids coming u'r a pleasure to watch. BTW i live near cambridge, would like come hear the band, what name do you go by, have you got a website etc, cheers.
I can't see why there's such negativity on this video. Just because you're young and white. The playing is great nomatter the age or ethnicity. Who cares if he's young and has good gear. When my son is that age I'd buy him great gear too if he played half that well.
Amazing touch, tone and note choice for someone so young. Those stretch string vibratos right up there, great pitch...I was still learning scale runs when I was this age.
Looks like a nice well behaved American boy who's learnt his TAB ,so daddy bought him some good gear -Just don't get into a dirty band with some lowlife musos !
Lovely tone. I adore my Corndog :) I spent a day looking for my first real tube amp. Played everything and they all sounded hurrendous. But then someone said "Why don't you try this Cornford?". Good times.
well done, you could be the next Jonny Lang, great
timing and feel. See if you can pick up a few tips from Alberto Bonerro ¬`Night`s Soul`, he even uses your Cornford Hurricane Amp for the recording. If you want to stick to Mr Moore, blues/ rock licks have a go at long version of Empty Rooms. I`ll look forward to it!
your playing from 56 secs to 1 min 3 secs was tasteful way beyond your years, others would be reaming up and down scales or sweeping away with arpeggios , your economy and note choice in that segment was just perfect.
i admit exaggerated faces bug the hell out of me. but 1. he's not exaggerating and he really doesn't make to many. 2. he's good enough to be into his music; let's face it, he's got "it." its more annoying when people who suck make faces.
@ericprsse Yeah, like when they're doing this shitty cover off some famous rock riff (For some reason almost always one of those from Guitar Hero), on their shitty Squier Strats or whatever, and they use their cell to record. They later go and brag about it to their friends and shit.
Hey Alex, when you play your "cover" songs, are you just improvising as you go or do you have an idea as to what changes you will make before you play it? Do you write lyrics as well? If so, you are ready for the next step in your musical career...
Nice Melodies and new cadences. Have you contacted Ron Wood, or Eric Clapton, or Steve Windwood, or Jimmy Page, or Keith Moon, I mean, Robin Trower, er, I mean, Peter Townsend and asked them to play you a song? Or talk about instruments or strings?

Hope the Cornford 's a lot more reliable for you, Alex. It certainly sounds great.
At around AUD$4,700-00 street price, you've got to win Lotto to buy a Hurricane in Australia.
