  • yeah this 1 year jazz is total bullshit. dont believe it. even if he has been playing bass before, it takes so long to get to know the neck and get your bends sounding hot. its not even about natural ability. its just a lot to take in. even if he is just copying the studio version.

  • hehe nice bro, Freddy an Stevie 'ed be proud

  • You're excellent and I like your version but I don't belive you learn guitar in a year! If it's true, you're better than SRV... Think about it!

  • Well...if i hadn't played anything before then yeah :P But as i think i mentioned before; i played the bass for a few years before this!

  • Continu with the guitar man you got it! Wich kind of amp did U use?

  • Not sure actually...it was a students night for the shop where i had lessons and the amps were provided by the venue! Gutting as that's the best tone i've had!

  • this sounds more srv than ferddy king?

  • Very good playing***** Guitaryoyo

  • he does a really good job, im at like 10 months... everybody thinks that i'm learning exceptionally fast and i'm almost done with the clapton version so it's cool that he fuckin mastered the fk version in one year

  • Nice to hear a slower tempo! Well done!

  • get rid of that Strat if you wanna play this song right!

  • SRV made a superb cover of this song,,,,,he uses a strat......

  • personally i think SRV took all the Funkyness out of Hideaway! it was supposed to be a song you could dance to, but SRV made it to querky and rocky. Freddie King plays it a million times better than SRV!

  • wow,isn't freedom of speech a great thing...?:P

  • yes it is!

  • You're totally right, it's about what kind of guitar you play, that's all that raelly matters.

  • Great job, even if you played for twenty years! Reaading things here, imagine if Youtube was filled with people who supported hard work and effort, instead of criticizing. I mean, what good comes of shutting someone down or making them want to quit? You get better? No, life goes on, you continue to suck or not, and the only thing that changes is maybe you smashed someone's hopes/hobby/dream/ego.

  • Wow all the people dissing are absolutely fucking losers its a joke seriously go to Canada or shut the fuck up good god.. Dude solid show man, solid playing, and for a first time performance its not bad, showmanship comes later.

  • This guy has been playing for only a year. This is good, and pretty smart too put Freddy King as the title, he got a lot more people watching him that way. Good effort!

  • Some spoiled rich kid playing a guitar his mother bought him...

  • Yeah thats why the guitar is a Jim Deacon imitation Strat...what we all dream of having. Jackass.

    To be honest, if i was rich i'd set up a far more interesting show than this (you know: Light shows, clowns, hell, why not call in a few of daddy's favours and play with Clapton?) and hire a propper camera man who knew how to focus.

  • You just look silly thats all..

  • And only rich people look silly? Im quite sure that lack of sanity is somthing that is not exclusive to the rich and in future if you are going to insult somone try and have a better reason than "you look silly". And yes: i do look silly. But i couldn't give a flying wombat testicle if i do or not and as such i'm free to do whatever the hell i like:

    May wild elephants bugger you while you sleep sir!

  • Hey jerk..You look silly" MEANS" you do not belong up there playing the Blues ..you are not that good a player ...PLUS you look like a spoiled rich kid with his new toy..

  • I'd rather look at him play his guitar than your fucking stupid gay Howdy "Dooty" videos you retard.

  • Since when has the blues been about superficial looks??? Blues is about the feeling behind the music you twunt! And yes i know I'm not that great a player but this was filmed 3 years ago when i started playing, i have improved. And what the hell do you mean about "belonging" up there? This was a night for music students to play at a local club: not a fucking concert.

  • It looks like you're having fun and playing good guitar with feeling, it comes off that way as a listener.

    Guitar geeks get lost on technical tangents and argue for days about it...while everyone else is enjoying real music.

  • p.s. Despite what i say i really love your "acting": It' so hard to portray proper emotion when you're hand is penetrating a 8 inch high wooden doll while dressing it up as a cowboy. Not that I'm implying you have any deep rooted psychological issues to deal with of course.

  • This ranks as one of the stupidest comments on youtube. Regardless of how he looks, (if it mattered you'd have issues yourself) he plays a million times better than you. You have too many effects, your timing is mechanical and, at times, clumsy and the fingerwork is sloppy. And don't come back saying that my clips are shit because I already know that. Bottom line? The kid plays well, he's got rockin' tone and you clearly can´t handle it. Stop mouthing off and get practising.

  • hey scumpy .this kid was playing in a band ..I was just fooling around playing obviously.but If you think this kid has feel ? then I understand you lack of musical insight..and you should not talk the way you can't play.

  • Q. How many guitar players does it take to chnage a light bulb?

    A. 100, one to actually do it and 99 to say they would have done it with "more feeling!"

    HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

    Hey, for what it's worth, I've been in bands for thirty years and the kid does a great job..........as a matter of fact, I think when he says he's only been playing for ONE YEAR, I think he's bullshitting!!!

  • I have effects ??? do you not hear effects on this kids guitar ? and listen to the tempo he is all over the place.

  • Better then me man lol.. anyone have an accurate tab for this?!

  • learn to play it by ear. May take longer but it's needed if you want to get good.

  • top effort cuz :-)

  • There are some barstards on youtube, don't listen to them this video is awesome. The tempo works because you made it your own, good stuff.

  • Nothing wrong with this tempo. These kids don't sound like they are on speed. I particularly like the rhythm section and the mix.

  • hey brother let me tell you you did a wonderful job learning and playing the song...seems you really worked hard on this because this is a hard song to do....but you have to be careful about changing the song up too much because to me you almost butchered the song with so many breaks and changes in feel...be careful about that...overall a pretty good job

  • Ignore the knockers, sminez. They're just jelluss.

    Great video.

  • Hey man, I think it was pretty good. Rather have it groove at a slow tempo and have it sound good than most players just jerking off real fast and off time. Real good job.

  • Gad this sucks! Hideaway is supposed to be played like lightening.

  • Oh yeah? Who says it is supposed to be played that way? Who sets the rules on speed? I would tell you to grow up but from your homepage I see that it is already too late.

  • You mean there's only ONE WAY to play it? Thanks for letting me know that!! Duh!

  • Yes, it could be played faster, but it is very nice, it only needs some more feeling. Good job.

  • I know but bearing in mind that i learnt how to bend a note only a few weeks before this was shot i think you can cut me some slack :P

  • You're a liar. You've probably been playing guitar for a few years. Nobody takes a year to learn how to bend. Don't make excuses for no reason, the video isn't bad.

  • Im not lying, i played bass beforehand but i had lteraly been playing guitar for a year when this was recorded

  • how long did it take you to learn just this piece, cuz I gotta tell ya your band makes the slower tempo awesome.

  • Okay that's a bit different. It's a lot different when you pick up a guitar understanding music already. If you just had picked up a guitar and learned improvsation blues instantly in a year, you'd be ridiculous. BTW, theres a girl on Youtube who plays this better than you ;) No offense, yours is great though

  • Sminez don't worry, OnSugarHill is not necessarily right about this, if it is the same girl I have seen on YouTube, she plays it very well but like a computer. Yours is much better keep at it.

  • I don't believe you either!! You play too fucking good to only have been at it a year!!

    :)

  • Cool. Freddie King was the KING! nice playing, just a bit slow tempo.. :D
