@cocacolaphresh Thanks a lot. I like your username.

: ]

[akintomeatloaf]

@andreasadfaf Hey I'd basically go with any electric guitar you can find, provided it has good intonation, good action, etc.

Good distortion pedals help of course as well.

: ]

[MatthewMan1997]

That guitar solo is beast!

[akintomeatloaf]

@MatthewMan1997 Yeah, it took me a pretty long time to figure it out! It is a BEAST!

: ]

[laurencechien]

hey you should play a cover of forgiven by skillet! :) 

[akintomeatloaf]

@laurencechien Hey yeah! Great song. It's on my laundry list of covers to make!

: ]

[akintomeatloaf]

@dunce007 The tutorial is up!!!

: ]

[ap0511]

Awesome cover man!! Watched the first part of the tutorial also. Any chance at a guitar tutorial for the Comatose Comes Alive version of Last Night? Mainly the bridge and rock ending outro ;) Keep up the amazing work!

[akintomeatloaf]

@ap0511 Hey thanks! Yeah, I'm currently uploading part 2, and the rest should be up by tomorrow.

I'll definitely check out that version of "Last Night" too!

: ]

[ap0511]

@akintomeatloaf actually have an update for you. On Tuesday Skillet released an iTunes Sessions cd that has songs that sound the way they do in concert...and you don't have all the crowd noise. Last Night is one of those, and a few more. Awesome cd. Someone posted it here on youtube, and if you were gonna check out that version of Last Night this would be where to do it where you can hear everything a lot more clearly :)

[akintomeatloaf]

@ap0511 Okay sounds good!

[Franklin9416]

[makisd3]

i say only amazing because you let me speechless with the way you play the violin

[akintomeatloaf]

@makisd3 haha ok. Yeah, I've actually been playing the violin A LOT longer than I've been playing guitar...I started violin when I was in first grade (I was 7 years old), and I started guitar around...maybe 13 or 14. It's a really cool song to be able to play violin AND a sick guitar part!

Thanks for watching!

: ]

[makisd3]

yes what do you want from me

[akintomeatloaf]

@makisd3 That was a smiley face thanking you for your "amazing" comments.

[DANDAMANX5000]

what type of amp are you using and what are your settings on it?

[akintomeatloaf]

@DANDAMANX5000 I'm using a Squier SP-10, and the Bass and Treble are at level 7. I'm using the clean channel on the amp, and a GNX2 MFX processor for my pedals.

~Ken

[chilly041]

nice job

[akintomeatloaf]

@chilly041 thanks!

[dugganater]

nice save with that thorough disclaimer. ;)

[akintomeatloaf]

@dugganater Yeah dude, I'm praying and hoping that I can keep the audio on...I've done some research and a lot of people have had the same problem w/ WMG music copyright laws...Hope it stays up!!!

: ]

[dugganater]

@akintomeatloaf yeah i've seen some other skillet videos with that same thing posted in the description. btw you did an amazing job on that solo, don't know if i would be able to play it as well as that.

[akintomeatloaf]

@dugganater Haha hey it took me A loooonnnggggg time to figure out the solo and then be able to play it competently. I know that I messed up ton he first part of the solo, but I think I pretty much nailed the second part, which is the part that was giving me the most trouble. I did maybe 10-14 takes of the solo. It's an awesome solo!

...and hey, it just takes a lot of practice! I'm hoping to get a tutorial up as well, but again, school is killing me...
