Transatlantic Rock Guitar Ballad (music by MrLeedsman / Mike Poss)

[cynkro]

Brother !!! you are good...i am going to start working on the guitar again ...you are an amazing musician who should be on a stage in front of a huge crowd

[LaForzaMan]

Mike Poss... You are the best ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[neiveweird1]

this sounds like steve vai for the love of god

[acdcruleurmom]

sounds a bit like steve via on this song, but i love how u can play all styles u are amazing and give me something to work to :D thank you

[icanpeeyee]

sounds a lot like steve vai imo

[Potguy2]

It's a cross between the feel of 'For the love of god' with his own touch.

Nothing else to say but lovely.

[yairoka]

that's not a band.. there's missing a drummer

[RockTheOcean4me]

Excellent

[algoreisahoax]

Good stuff nice guitar

[lofofsepult]

Copy of Steve Vai.......perhaps

[neiveweird1]

@lofofsepult im agree with you its sounds like:for the love of god:

[mikeguitar630]

starting from 0:36 it sounds just like steve vai's for the love of god.

[cosmin24it]

foarte inspirat. supppppeeeeeerrrrrrr!!!!!

[hhxdog]

A good guitarist doesn't need to prove himself with crazy sweeping, (which Im sure you can do -no problem) but instead with great feeling... love the vibratos in theres and smooth bends. Great job Mike!

[josemariatena]

This is great music. I just wish i could come up with this kinds of ideas. Love the trip.

[Sheehanish]

so whats with the confederate flag on your guitar?

[PetesRG7]

Amazing...that's so tasty

[trevinor3]

badass, this is the stuff that should be on the radio instead of that katy perry crap! we need guitar heros!

[perenganitto]

increible!!!

[Desert00Storm]

luv ur style n ur guitar mike....this video is so awsome n relaxing =D

u totally rock!

[seanzxjulian]

very emotional, love it!

[Lucaryo1989]

this is great music i listen it to sleep and to dream..

your a great one !,,!

[burritojack]

THIS IS SO AWESOME!

[menkol1027]

a song from joe satriani ALWAYS WITH ME ALWAYS WITH YOU.. check out the first riff..

[freaqie]

mike i love your style. also the easy listening stuff,

you are an inspiration...

you for one do not suffer from the need for speed. i love the feel you put in, and the musicality of your freeform solo's

instead of randomness the music has a goal.

great guitaring.

also thanks for the jamtracks on your site.

please keep uploading.

[mikeposs]

Thanks for nice comment mate !

[billyb440]

LJ15 ....UNION JACK flying V???? Good gawd I bet that just made good ole General Robert E Lee turn over in his grave. The V has the Confederate Union Flag design on it. Calling it the Union Jack would be likened to saying Christ was crucified by hanging him on a clothes line.

[mikeposs]

I had this piece as my main guitar at the time when I was a member of a southern rock band (something in Lynard Skynard style). Therefore the confederate design.

[madalfred87]

wow, great song, really awesome!!!

btw, if i may ask, among pedal guitar effects , what would be a good compressor especially for hand picking?

thanks in advance,

chris

[mikeposs]

There is a difference between stomp and studio compressors. As for stomps Main Squeeze (Digitech) is not bad, or the classic - Dynacomp or Boss CS. Best way - take all 3 and compare by playing your typical style

[djachilles1993]

Why is the song so sad :( ?

[LordJesus15]

Sweet !!!!

nice union jack flying v :D

[bobwoolcock]

Really great.

[Mike4evermetal2]

Fucking sweet man...

[MrFingerguitar]

Beautiful. Great feeling. What effects are you putting this through?

[MrLeedsman]

Not sure what Mike is using but I'm using a gnx3.

[mikeposs]

I went through Engl 530 Preamp and Mesa Power Amp. Some delay added .... and that's all.

[mydzigns]

Steve Vai - For Love of God

Guitar Hero i cant even play it on my psp.

you rock

[mikeposs]

Thank you very much for comments ! Mike

[JPRBlues]

Awsome guys. It works so well great tune 10/10. jake

[TGrasu]

wooow... dudes amazing... can't possibly describe this... just the kind of music i love... great job keep it up!

[theeastside]

You look like the old guy from The Wackness.

Excellent song

[daztheman70]

Awesome

[GuillermoSmyser]

I thought it sounded like For the Love of God too.

But it's still original he just used it as inspiration.

[123tsh]

@GuillermoSmyser exactly its the sameeeeeeeeeee scale and progression

[guitarjakeo]

haha amazin love the music n u play awsome

ive watched ur telecaster blues vid n thts amazin aswell

i will SUBSCRIBE!!

[m74d3]

definitely reminds me of for the love of god by steve vai but obviously the solo is completely original so it is original. The similarity is more in the backing chords than anything.  The change from the starting chord, to the next one a half step up, then back, etc. And even that isn't a copy. Chord progressions are shared by many, many songs. He made this song his own.

[TheMGOPlayer]

im amused man

nice

[jay2ster]

Love that guitar man!

and the guitar playing!

[effects69]

Such an amazing sound guys!

[jazbii]

i love your confederate flying v, how much it is?

[mikeposs]

OMG, I do not know. It was an old worn piece. Every part comes from another guitar and was rebuilt and designed by my friend, master-builder Joe Weber. I told him I need a southern rock piece of wood and he made me this one. I think I paid something like 2 ts. USD.

[dejkola]

nice nice 5/5 which program did you use for text ?

[mikeposs]

I think it was Adobe Premier

[KRLSMLG]

yes... it sound like FOR THE LOVE OF GOD... but ALL THE TIME!!!! :P

i like your "version" but... it in't original... ;)

[kyleChall]

Just because a song uses the same modes and scales doesnt make it a copy cat,

besides this song uses different phrasing intervals

[sonicalive19]

i just love it thanx..and plzz also load some tutorial files of ur guitar and all

[VenerareOmerta3296]

Awesome stuff brother rock on !

[coolriff747]

Good Smooth articulation - Need to go off and improvise with more feeling and string bending - less finger tapping - coolriff747 - Real Nice Piece

[mikeposs]

[Comanche01]

Hey guys,

check this out: there is also a german guitar player with a real beautiful Guitar Ballad. Just tape in: "Diamond Train" or "Uwe Ulm" both will work.

It sound awesome. Like this guy here!

Enjoy

[mikeposs]

Thanks for the tip. The guy is really a very good player.

[mnunezper]

since 1:21 - 2:00 it remainds me "for the love of god - steve vai" xD

[PeterRabbit1937]

The whole song reminded me of it. To me this is blatant plagiarism.

[eddiefan36]

awsome flyin V..hells yea..once again nice playing

[legendaryRose]

superb

!!!!!

[metallicaloverfan]

very good!!!

[LouddrummerO]

I seen this collab at MrLeedsman's channel and i wanted to come over here to express to you how much i enjoyed this! Your sound is sooooo good. Keep it up!

This Favorited MetallicaTV drummer gives you a loud 5/5

[mikeposs]

Nice, thanks a lot :-)

[Bradmasta1]

very nice, but it sounds very similar to "for the love of god" by steve vai. nonetheless excellent!

[mikeposs]

You are right, some phrases have some similarity. I did not know the track well when I was recording this but I probably herd it some time ago and it might have some impact even I was not aware of that.I hope Mr.Vai will not be angry with that:-)

[Bradmasta1]

oh i doubt he will as this sounds very nice!

[Gerinos999]

1 thing that makes me shock..... with emg pickup u still can get a smooth lead guitar tone .... F%#K u ... im jelaous w/ u hahahahahahah

[lightfrets]

OMG, now that's music!

[TheBrokenLyreMusic]

sounds exactly like for the love of god by steve vai

[MrLeedsman]

Wow! That guy on rhythm ROCKS!

[mikeposs]

No wonder. That is the best player from Los Angeles ! :-)

[ampwarmers]

nice!

[jawadahmad77]

Can either one of you guys post the backing track (MrLeeds) without the solo so other guitarists can have a crack at it??

Nice confederate V btw!!!

[mikeposs]

Hi, I will send the message over to Harold. He is the author of the backing. Thanks for visiting.
