A Flock of Seagulls - I Ran (So Far Away) guitar cover

[mustangsky24]

Without delay no man....

[ToolsnFire]

Dude, this seriously is crap, to the extreme. You have to use a delay pedal, in addition to playing it correctly and getting the right tone. Unbelievable you posted this. Really. Delete the vid, learn the song, if you care.

[gitano045]

...Snap.Crackle,Pop....Breakfa­st is ready !!!

[sprtn117c]

@gitano045 mmmm :3

[aznvandamm]

Good job man, I'll always loved this guitar part.  Great taste in music as well. Try The Smiths, what difference does it make..Another great 80's song.....

[EdSabbath]

Have the same guitar, but in black. Selling it actually. Got a BC Rich to replace it and have too many guitars :(

[lonneykid13]

Sick bro!! Got any tabs?

[RockGodSid]

Amazing \m/

[Innercitylightsband]

Check out our cover of this song. We rock it. Full band style. In the studio.

[FanManLover]

wow you can play like Paul Reynolds !!!

love it!!

[CausalObserver74]

Wow I know a guitar play that is going to get a blow job after the gig.

[pukarla]

nice cover bud!

do you have any notes of this song? :)

[AsphxiaFilms]

I deserve that guitar.

[sprtn117c]

Then prove it, like I did.

[AsphxiaFilms]

Considering my paycheck doesn't range 1-3k It would take some time to buy it, but you can be rest assured I've proved myself ;)

[sprtn117c]

Well good :) But this is an epiphone. I got it used for $450. A gibson sure would be in the thousands!

[AsphxiaFilms]

Guess I'll be making a few stops to Ebay.

[sprtn117c]

Haha, oh yeah.

You a NOB. Fuck rite off with all your criticism. Everyone has to start somewhere. Or did you play perfectly just by picking up a guitar??

Dick!!!!!!!!!!!!

[xMike1349x]

Shit im gonna criticize this right. No delay, No intro, Dozen of Mistakes. TERRIBLE EQ! CRAP.

[sprtn117c]

I didn't know anything about effects or pedals, I didn't know how to play the intro, and this was my first guitar cover EVER. Now, I could play the intro and use delay if i wanted to. I could play the song perfectly if I wanted too also. But I'm not going to re-do this cover, so fuck off!

[Commander297]

not too shabby still ways to go. You should meet with Reno to get that straightened out.

[sprtn117c]

not too shabby for my first guitar cover huh?

[Commander297]

nope not at all. Reno probably could teach you a trick or two.

[sprtn117c]

lol That would be awesome

[coltono100]

that was totally wicked dude....

[scatcam]

good cover but you should have used delay

[sprtn117c]

this was my very first cover and i didn't know much about effects

[esm72m]

Nice Job dude. Especially on the solo. check out my version too!. BTW, your Bon Jovi cover rocks. I like that your guitar is loud. Some folks on here hide behind the CD verses letting their own sound come through. I applaud you.

[sprtn117c]

Thanks so much!

[dave54303]

thats pretty good nice job

[mg426426426]

Nice cover! Actually, you can replicate the intro by using a boss phase shifter pedal. It's got a bunch of different effects, and with it, you can make that awesome wind effect. It's only $70, which is a great deal for all that it does. Nice performance!

[strang14]

I think someone already said what i was going to say... awesome job!!! now you need to work on the clothes and hair

[Fangg32]

sweet cover man, like the other guy said YOU ROCK!!

[0220WillHippie]

excelent man!!!

YOU ROCK!!!

[jordanthecat]

Hey, Chad! Nicely done, and I'm very glad to know that the music of the Eighties still lives on in the next generation. There was a lot of great music back then.

Five stars to you for taking me back!

[mastergiovanni321]

sorry to ask again but could i have tabs to this two

[sprtn117c]

i didn't use tabs for this one, but i think that same website has some good tabs for it. check it out

[chippy1032]

wow...that sounds really close to the real sounds good job...sounds great

[funkmachine123]

I have watched every guitar cover of this song and i have to say, this boy is the best. If i had a band and i had to pick someone to play the guitar for that song, he's the guy. "The Edge" in the making

[sprtn117c]

Thanks so much man! That means a lot!

[funkmachine123]

No problem mate, i'm a big U2 fan have you tride doing any of there stuff? Keep up the good work.

[xxLaconiicx]

No speedtrapp...he didn't use a gibson explorer. He deff used a Kramer XL5.

[meldbp]

where did you get the tabs? can you send me?

[ThePieGuyIsI]

I love how during most of the video you act so non-chalant; as if you were excerting no effort at all.

Great cover though, what guitar are you using?

[sprtn117c]

I guess I'm a great actor then! It's an Epiphone Les Paul with a flame top finish.

[bktodc]

You're pretty good, practice, practice, practice

[sprtn117c]

Thanks! I will

[AFOSChannel]

Also to make the scratching sound use a penny instead of a pick, try it really works, and is how the effect is created.

[speedtrapp28]

Yes, I also think Paul Reynolds recorded this song with a Gibson Explorer.

[AFOSChannel]

I think he said he used his Kramer.

[speedtrapp28]

In the video anyways.

[AFOSChannel]

He also used his Kramer in the video.

[AFOSChannel]

You should try using these effects, Echo pad, chorus pad, and Reverb. Those are the true effects for this song. A a wah-wah pedal is not used.

[sprtn117c]

Ok, thanks. I don't know much about that kind of stuff.

[floppydisk52]

Is it me, or do those last two comments not make any sense at all?

[sprtn117c]

Lol! It's not just you!

[davidtaylorrose]

good try, but the correct way to play it.

[spores90]

boo!!!!!!!!!.tone of the i ran so far away,

a latest electric guitar not during 80's,

and a amplifier,

what a nice guitar tone!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DarinTeven1988]

pretty impressive, how much was ure geeetar

[sprtn117c]

thanks! i bought it used, so it was about $450

[Thefilthyblood]

Amazing,dude :D

But you missed some notes :)

Anyway 5/5 ;)

[sprtn117c]

Yeah, I watched it and I was like "DOH!!!" It was my first and I was a bit nervous.

[Thefilthyblood]

Lol,don' worry,it's still great.And sounds really good.

[sprtn117c]

Thanks!

[BUTCHYKID624]

Flock of seagulls never sounded so good.....

[darkcarolineriddle]

[wisdom52]
