GMC - RacerX: Viking Kong

[brando18guitarplyr]

NEEDS MOAR FUZZ

[Madgreenguy]

The playing is great, but it just didn't sound powerful enough compared to the studio version. Would've been perfect if you added a lot of reverb with the drive and volume cranked.

[alxnek]

Awesome.

[zakkattack99]

great playign shit vibrato, but great playing

[filipmajstorovic]

@zakkattack99 dont be stupid. his vibrato is perfectly fine. check out his zakk wylde video for some real shit

[zakkattack99]

@filipmajstorovic no thanks

[stainlesskiller]

And i thought my finger cramped up from playing guitar hero....

[Zaruhl]

Dude, very nice playing and very good technique, greetings from ecuador

[doom666kratos]

Man, I playing this, sounding like a Death Metal! hahaha very clean sound ...

[alone66666]

lol, so clean, wish i could play like you.

[FRINGEPROMOS]

Love your guitar playing. What recording software do you use?

[williambecic]

why aren't you using EMGs? just curious

[MeltdownNuclear]

You're Great.. ESP Horizon FR II ... The best Guitar! I Love my ESP.

[guitarsender]

u got skill bro, try to lay some more feeling in it!

[Derenthir]

Does someone have the exact tab of what he's playing please ? :p

[DemoniqueTrance]

@MrFrancescosmusic

D# is a hybrid of a dominant's dominant (B7), without root and fifth, and with maj7. And it sounds good, with the correct tone. It's a guitarist's way to do a quick modulation to the dominant. Got any problem with it?

[trinoply]

Sounds really good, But I hate that guitar tone. >.<

[sanjinator17]

check out my cover, i added fun things, because im cool and want to get views on my videos so i can own the Indie kids

[DBZKRN]

@sanjinator17 ..what?

[sanjinator17]

@DBZKRN dont worry about, just eat your cereal

[DBZKRN]

@sanjinator17 not everybody in this country is a bollyfreak.single minded over his head indie guitarist.typical.

[sanjinator17]

@DBZKRN what are you talking about now?

[DBZKRN]

@sanjinator17 ..nevermind.

[eden1955]

dude!!! that was awesome!!!

[ralphy193]

the best cover i have never seen

[bubble0doom]

I'm surprised, viking kongs solo is the only thing of gilberts I've seen removed due to copyright. He must have some real love for that thing.

[TrippyTro]

could have used a little more effects in my opinion, and it sounded like you were killing the sound with a heavy noise gate. otherwise, played spot on

[manemustaine]

awesome!!!!!

[BreakingBenniBoyA7x]

amazing cover btw!!!

[BreakingBenniBoyA7x]

aaaahhh i just don't get the tapping part, it's fricken awkward, any suggestions?

[Prenner111]

LIfeless playing

[silentscope1234]

1:44 to 1:55 ... gets me every freaking time.

[PerpetualMoon]

WHAT! i wanted to learn this on GMC but now its removed from copyright issues. WHy! it doesnt make sense

[untilseventytimes07]

what effects do u use?

[Ectotherm]

thumbs up!!!

[WarriorArrow]

Why are you selling it?

How much?

[Kandurananda]

@WarriorArrow 1800 USD-s but I've reconcidered it, so I won't sell it :P

[PentaStreak]

@Kandurananda Put dimarzio evos in it. best choice of my life.

[theunitedspeed]

@Kandurananda I got your guitar but in blue with a string thru bridge

IT IS A BEAST GUITAR

[Heineken1712]

@Kandurananda i had one but i sold it. because i discovered vintage kramer guitars! :D

[E4ZYTEE]

Love the horse squeal at 3:28

[bflodude007]

where did you get the tabs for this song? i cant find one that is the same as the way you do it

[wayprotein]

fantastic picking, very very very precise, almost as Paul Gilbert's. Man, do you have a band?

[sausagefinger1]

I love my ESP. I want yours.

[Kandurananda]

@sausagefinger1 XD well, it's for sale, contact me if you want it :)

[whitelotus808]

[Kandurananda]

[darknature79]

[MrEllinaras]

incredible playing.Almost like the studio version.

Very professional job!!!

[nikkolightcrips19]

[265008888]

[tropics1020]

very nice cover, you are the man!

[crovian1985]

[Fr3derick]

Fantastic!!! Love it. Thanks for posting:)

Grandma mary

[crovian1985]

does this guitar compare to a jackson soloist?

[Kandurananda]

@crovian1985 Never tried one.

[icemanbenito]

you know.. buckethead songs could bring a LOT of people to the website..

[Kawboy718]

I was fairly happy with the lessons on this site, but very disappointed when I found out they auto-renewed my subscription (without warning) and REFUSED to provide a prompt refund when requested on the same day of the renewal. I am unemployed and couldn't afford the extra year of service, so the $90 was very important.

I had planned on joining again when I get back to work, but after this experience, they will never get another dime of my money.

[Kandurananda]

@Kawboy718 I think there was some kind of mistake, Kris would never do such a thing. Do you want me to contact him on this matter?

[azrock1984]

FOUND! a proper learning channel! thank you GMC!

[Slither512]

@azrock1984 hey GMc does hav this as a lesson anymore. do u hav tabs or something for this song if so could u sent me them or something. thanks

[whitelotus808]

you are one clean player dude. im only missing the part from 3:13 to 3:20 but this close up of playing the song helped a lot with the confusing parts. thanks for uploading it.

[alexmusic310]

great player

[alexmusic310]

thank for the video

[kundruvv]

nice cover..

[AntonJamtander]

what pups are you playing mate?

[MattBoy16]

Awesome playing and tone, man. What amp are you using?

[stath0stef]

I have a question......Can i play same things(sweep,tapping,shred) in esp horizon fr II???its the same guitar but this one has emg......thanxxxxx

[suloman123]

@stath0stef Of course :) It doesnt which you guitar you have but its going to be difficult to perform such things as well as this player does.Get ready!!! :)

[binrdow]

In the chorus (bar 10-17), what is that tapping? Is it a quick tap an octave up (19th for fist tap?) and then pulling off and letting the note an octave lower (7th) ring out? I have been trying to figure that out, but I'm not sure...

[MariosGuy]

@binrdow its just a quick tabbing of the harmonic on the higher octave of the note u have fretted(12 notes up). just hit the string on the harmonic and it should ring out.

[Lockey2ska]

can i get this

backing track

^^

[GitarenEnBananen]

he plays it very clean but he should maybe use some more gain for this song

[fyrefish42]

this is awesome man

and lol you have two of the same 'isms that I have,

anchoring and a flying pinky.

but its good to see that crazy speed is still possible with those!

gives me motivation

[PowerpickerDave]

key was high... notice not usingthe d tuning.. but its fine.. u rock

[Lockey2ska]

hello

where can i get this backing track

^^

[911RiOt]

haha, i figured. but thank you for the response

[911RiOt]

You are such an amazing player, i would really appreciate if you could make the other parts of the lessons available to me as I cant afford guitarmasterclass sites.

[Kandurananda]

I'm really sorry to hear that. Unfortunately I have signed a contract with a company that doesn't allow me to do such things...

[asdfero]

@Kandurananda you sold your soul to the devil :Q

jk ...

but srsly.... WUT?

[whitelotus808]

@Kandurananda

sup dude, how you doing again? so im finally gonna get the horizon!!! :D but anyway, since youre also a fan of paul gilberts work could you possibly consider covering his song "curse of castle dragon"? there are a few good guitar pro files that ive learned part of it from. you could probably play it in your sleep, but it would be a pretty damn cool song to cover and teach. I know your busy with the band and the classes and all, but I thought it would be a cool idea.

[Kandurananda]

@whitelotus808 Great news, man! Will you post a video of you playing your new axe? :)

About the Gilbert transcription, actually I'm planning to do lots of them, and I will do "Curse..." as well! :) Right now I'm working on few Metallica solos, some Pantera, and I'm also working on Gilbert's "Technical Difficulties" and "Metal Dog"

[whitelotus808]

@Kandurananda

yes, ill post a video of me plaing it for sure. id say it'll a littlw while before i get it, but once I do, itll be my first upload on my channel.

And thats great to hear. Im a big metallica fan also and ive learned a lot of their solos (whiskey in the jar [also in d standard], dont tread on me etc.) but as far as pantera and gilbert go, i only know a few of their songs, so doing these videos will defineteley help me to learn them. cant wait to see the new videos. :)

[angelicamacky]

is it drop D tuning???

[Kandurananda]

Originally the composition is in D tuning, however for the sake of the lesson, I played it in E tuning. Gilbert also plays it on E tuning on his gigs, and iprovises a lot wherever he can. No drop tuning.

[Lockey2ska]

how to play

that intro

when i try to play

it sound very awful

????

[Kandurananda]

Try it harder :D

Eventually you will succeede!

[prenton11]

@Lockey2ska palm muting...........

[Lockey2ska]

@prenton11 haha~ thanks ^^

[retroboss]

i always plant, 2 reasons my entire right hand had got 3rd degree burns so in general i lost some feeling so planting helps me stay where i need to be and the 2nd reason is planting for me feels more solid and the 2 types of stringing movement- loose wrist movement or stiffened wrist movement i play stiff so planting also keeps me in my range of movement.

[GerMaj7th]

If I may ask, are you anchoring your right hand there with the 4th finger? I ask because I stopped doing that when people told me it would hinder my playing, but you just proved them wrong here!

[Kandurananda]

Do you feel comfortable while anchoring your hand? That is the only question you want to ask yourself. I do. And noone can prove me wrong. There are a lots of guitarists who are doing the same thing and guess what, they are still amongst the best...be yourself.

[GerMaj7th]

Thats good advice there, thank you :)

[SurTensionMusic]

Are you using an effect pedal ? Thanks for you video man.

[Kandurananda]

No, the entire song has been played with a Line 6 Toneport UX 1 through my PC.

[drawnacrol]

are you using pod farm for the tone??? it sounds incredible

[Kandurananda]

No, just the Toneport...

[alsem333]

A lesson from for Mr Scary from George lybch would me awesome:)

[Kandurananda]

I just love that song...nothing's imposible tho... :)

[zeezrocks]

just forget about it sorry because my english is bad

[zeezrocks]

sorry i mean how the sound goes long?

[Kandurananda]

I don't quite understand this, can you please tell me the exact time in the video when that sound happens?

[zeezrocks]

how do you make long sound like 4 beat?using effect?or something?,btw 5 star

[Kandurananda]

Thank you!

What dou you mean by that?

[Kandurananda]

In the solo section you can use the E phrygian dominant and later the F# blues, F# minor, and again the E phrygian dominant.

[alsem333]

Thank you :)

[alsem333]

What scale is this song playd in?,If we were gonna improvise on the solo what scales should we imrpovise in?Thank youuuuuu

[justinisasurfer]

awesome

[MxMorningstarXx]

wow.. unbelievably clean

what tuning is this?

[Kandurananda]

For the purpose of the lesson, the tuning's on E. However Paul plays it in D tuning on his record. On his gigs, he usually plays it in E.

[MaxWGuitar91]

AMAZING performance Zsolt!! FLAWLESS! Can't wait to see this published on GMC :D

/Dexxter

[Kandurananda]

An octave higher than the original fretted note. It's a natural harmonic.

[atilagornrocks]

hey men the tappings from the chorus on wich fret did you play'em?
