You´re my idol not only to play this amazing song so good also because yo play this song amazing in a strat, dude...you rock!!!! (sorry about the bad english)
@nugeforprez Thanks! Yes, it's a Fender Stratocaster Deluxe HSS. I think for this song, I was using my Digitech GNX2 through the clean channel on my Marshall TSL100, but I can't remember for sure. It's not the setup I'm using anymore. :P
duuude i bet if they;d let u do the whole song people wouldve gone crazy over your performance! im playing this masterpiece with my friends this weekend both friday and saturday..its gonna be crazyy
I agree :) Sometimes, though, if you don't have a good grip on the string and can't adjust your finger, it's easier to do vibrato with the whammy. I've improved a ton since this video, too! :)
@Shackett88 You cannot lower the note with finger vibrato, and you can with whammy. Two different tricks for two different things. They both look, and sounds cool. Cheers though, dude. Badass playing!
I'm performing this song next week and we had to chop it to 4 minutes, I did it a little differently though. We chopped the bit after the first solo and went straight to the slow part which leaves some room for improvising, and then to the ending riff after a few bars. I play it without the sweep as well, it's just unnecessary.
sweep = not necessary. petrucci doesn't do it in the demonstration if you watch it. i'm not trying to say that sweeping doesn't take skill, it does, but after you know how to do it, it's just another trick.
it's not just a trick it's a technique that is just one of many weapons in a shredders arsenal petrucci is good at it even though he doesn't use it much batio for instance is known for his insanely clean sweeps
Yeah, dude. There's no short-cut. You just have to work through it. But..everytime you make it to the end of a show without being heckled or bludgened with vegetables you get a little braver.
mmmm Yes. I DLed a tab that had you play it up at the fifth fret, but i find it easier (which is saying alot) up at where Genmills is playing it. especially reaching that high C sharp.
What the hell is wrong with smiling? Hes showing that hes enjoying himself, and isn't just playing like robot like most people I see on youtube. Don't tell him to change his look either, he'll look how the fuck he wants.
Great playing Genmills. I'm learning this song myself, it's a real tough one!
Quick question... When you decided "Im going to learn this song right now.." How long did it take you to learn the main opening riff? And by learn I mean memorize the notes that are supposed to be hit, not how long it took to play it perfectly. Just curious because I am trying to learn this song.
It doesn't take more than a couple minutes to memorized the first short lick, but it takes some time to get it up to speed, and even longer to tweak it to sound just right.
DUDE!! I love the versitlity of the TSL.I traded mine in for the JVM.What an absolute disappointment!!!To make a long story short.I play through a JCM900SL-X. Not TSL.But Still a Marshall.
yay!! ^_^ darn you for making it look so easy!! XP lol but you did a really good job on this cover and it's also easier to follow 'cause you close up on the frets :) haha at first i didn't even notice it was you cuz you cut your hair :P
Second, I think its like so superbadass rockstar of you to go back and review the comments and questions left by your viewers and fans . Rock on!!!!!!!!
this is great! one of the coolest songs however is freebird. I've seen some good videos here, and some pretty bad ones. i believe you can make an awesome cover.
You´re my idol not only to play this amazing song so good also because yo play this song amazing in a strat, dude...you rock!!!! (sorry about the bad english)
