[aaronb2741]

Wow dude that was freaking amazing! This might be a dumb question, but did you write that song (solo and backing track)? Keep it up man!

[tannerlong42]

unbelievable man.

[WassonasonVegeta]

Can I have the Guitar model name please :). BTW Beautiful!

[David0dbz0goku]

Freakin A Dude! You've got some skills! Very nice playing... Any tips on how you practiced to get that good?

[Antayn]

Esp Horizon, no? I am about to buy one, but just bought a marshall JCM 900, so can't afford one right now xD But i'll actually buy the red one, cuz i am in love with it xD

I am currently playing on a ESP M-II Snow white, it is great, but i want to try something different :o

[speedwellkid]

fair play

[techno1teddy]

is great, I love to listen to the guitar solo. (rock) .. yeah, it's awesome

[bobkat321]

Nice playing dude

[marshallmandan]

@bobkat321 thanks a lot mate :D appreciate it :)

[Aaarrrggghhification]

Sorry dude for not replying sooner, yeah, maybe i should try some easier songs, so i went back to playing my acoustic for a while, i know it sounds a little sad/rubbish but im learning moonlight sonata by beathoven ( think thats how its spelt?)

Anyway, what brand or models are good loop stations, and do you use an fx processer? Just wanna know if i shud buy one? Thanks once again dude.

Oh yeah i know its a bit random, but do you skate? I do.

[marshallmandan]

@Aaarrrggghhification Thats alright bro :), sorry for my delayed reply!, that sounds really good, i've been playing a lot more acoustic lately too :D I have the boss loop station (the single pedal one) and i think its really good :D, for my electric guitar i use a tc electronics g system :D if you dont have many effects ide reccomend starting off with single pedals though :) hahah no i don't, you?

[smallgiant9]

Dude! That was amazing! Why aren't you pro yet? xD and how long have you been playing?

[marshallmandan]

@smallgiant9 Heey man! thanks a lot for this comment! really appreciate it :D Ive been playing for just over 5 years now.. I really wanna become a professional player though.. Im going to the Bristol Institute for modern music next year though to study so hopefully ill improve a lot there :D and make lots of contacts and stuff :) But thanks a lot for the support it means a lot :D

[smallgiant9]

@marshallmandan It shows bro! keep playing and you'll be up there some day, I'm dead serious xDD

[marshallmandan]

@smallgiant9 Thanks soo much bro! I really appreciate it :)

[Aaarrrggghhification]

Thanks dude, i really apreciate your help. Sorry i dont live near bristol (i live in birmingham :D) but i just feel like my playing has hit a brick wall. Im trying to get some inspiration (youve helped alot!), but everything i play sounds the same still. If you could tell me what to practise for a player like you to get out of this annoooooyyyiinng rut you will be an absolute uber dude. Thanks for all your help btw. Oh yeah i checked out your band and your other vids and theyre gggrrreeeeeeeeat

[marshallmandan]

@Aaarrrggghhification Hey man.. im sorry to hear about that.. but I get in the same ruts at times too! where you have a lack of inspiration.. i mean do you learn many songs? sometimes its nice to learn a few easy songs just for pleasure and forget about the technical stuff and wanting to improve? Also.. do you have a loop station or anything? it may be good to get one and this enables you to kinda 'jam' with yourself? Im not sure if ive really answered your question.. keep asking if not :)

[stix471]

epic.

[marshallmandan]

@stix471 Thanks a lot man :D

[Aaarrrggghhification]

Thanks dude, can you help me from 0:56 to 1:22 abouts. The first real shreddy bit:) Also what amp settings and strings and picks and stuf do you use coz i love the tone youve got. Hope im not bieng too annoying, but thanks anyway for replying to my first comment (hardly anyone does!)

[marshallmandan]

@Aaarrrggghhification uuuuh im not sure how i can describe it all over here, without showing you :/ On this video i actually just used a Pod, and plugged it straight into the computer.. the pods really good for a shreddy tone so :).. I use gibson heavy picks (the big ones) ... hah its alright dude.. if you pick smaller sections ill try and explain what i did.. If not, do you live in bristol? cause i give guitar lessons.. i could teach it to you if you do hah

[Aaarrrggghhification]

Where did you learn those runs, and by the way could you tell me where to get the tabs for thoes runs & arpeggios. Youre great by the way, you have a long musical career ahead!

[marshallmandan]

@Aaarrrggghhification Hey man.. i write the guitar over the top of a backingtrack. it was for an andy james contest thing.. hah so i made up all the soloy stuff.. if you pick bits out though ill be happy to explain what i did and stuff? :)
