[videos027]

[Fischauto]

maybe not a Pop punk solo ...

but who cares

good Improv ;)

[doobiescoo1]

This is Journey with a backbeat,........not punk. Listen to more Clash and the Libertines,...good skill though, wish I could play as good..

[machogriz]

@doobiescoo1 Thanks.....I agree, though....I don't feel its pop punk. I just titled it that because thats what the backing track was called when I downloaded it

[piume13]

Nice, but practice thats vibrato

[Adrian6222]

Hey , Justin Biber called and he wants his hairs back ! ;D

[psycho21r]

This thing made my day!

[BrokenError10]

[stormyRPG]

@BrokenError10 Easy there champ. Don't go using your whole vocabulary.

[nachowill95]

This is not punk... and its not pop... and this ain't pop punk... maybe some best seller shit

[edward3191]

@nachowill95 yes mabe it isnt pop punk but his good at guitar solo

[nachowill95]

@edward3191 he plays fine but... if somebody call this punk is becouse he have any knowns of music

[GusMOfficialChannel]

WTF haircut

[sgplayer1987]

soundsl like a 90's sitcom intro, very good though

[punkingwithChrist]

nice. it does kinda remind me of lincoln brewster and Hawk Nelson put together. ;P

(saw the tags)

[machogriz]

@punkingwithChrist Hahaha! Thanks and good eye on the tags!

[goldenwaysband]

THat's not pop punk (i hate pop punk) but i like it :-).

[fullers123321]

@goldenwaysband then whyd u type in pop punk solo?

[sanmurai83]

how can you do it? i write songs with may friends but i cant write a solo

[machogriz]

@sanmurai83 scales are my best friend. This solo is mostly just the major scale played all over the neck.

[azeeger]

@sanmurai83

Just listen to the music

for example u can download this song

and jam something.

often is cames something like a solo out ouf it :D

Like by myself

sry for bad english

[xXbhenzXx]

sounds like animal mechanical theme song! hahaha XD

[mrcrimp988]

liked the begining but went down hill after. still good though

[azeeger]

Great improvisation

i love it ^^

very creativ

[stormyRPG]

1:31 ...staring into my soul

haha, but seriously great playing.

[LongviewGD182]

How is that pop - punk?!?

Maybe try speeding it up x5, 3 power chords and a 5 sec solo?

Still rad tough

[xXbmxbradXx]

May not be pop-punk, but it's still rad!

[kiloelo]

looks like a punk ass version of steve buscemi

[BeestM0DE]

who cares if it's not exactly POP-PUNK?!?! VVVV

I thought music is supposed to be whatever you like and feel? everyone is getting so technical of what genre, but who really cares, if its good it's good. Nice job man :]

[Gersard14]

master :alaba:

[VivaLaMac666]

wow dude one of the best clips ive seen in a long time :)

[Thenukeone]

This doesn't sound like pop-punk.

[flamedudeNL]

No pop punk man, pop punk is much and much faster

[SirBurnsicus]

so when you say improvised, do you mean thought up on the spot, or just made up by you previously.

[machogriz]

@SirBurnsicus completely thought up on the spot

[Heikoman90]

awesome solo

[stormyRPG]

Title is kinda an inherent contradiction. Pop Punk doesn't have solos...

[iShinnnn]

he kinda looks like my math teacher : D

[machogriz]

@iShinnnn You got a good looking math teacher then! Haha.

[Rushisftw]

Sounds like Journey.

[machogriz]

@Rushisftw thanks!

[cervenak7]

such great maan!!!

[NJDizzle1]

to many haters out there man that was good!!

[machogriz]

@NJDizzle1 thanks!

[TheGeneLightShow]

how long have you been playing?

[machogriz]

@TheGeneLightShow About 15 years now

[dentpopcan]

you look like donny from the big lebowski,

i hope you die!

:)

[machogriz]

@dentpopcan oh wow! I guess this donny guy isn't a nice guy? I've never seen the movie.

[frankzy89]

it sound like rock solo... ?not pop punk solo..

[Deltron7]

Booooo!

[Anight7mareX]

this is most definately not pop punk.

[grassvalleystudios]

@Anight7mareX Punk is anything you want it be. The pop is just for the upbeat tone.

[Anight7mareX]

@grassvalleystudios

So...ZZ top is pop punk?

Guns N Roses is pop punk?

You're a moron.

[grassvalleystudios]

@Anight7mareX No you're the moron. Punk does have a certain sound, though it's not the genre of the music that makes it punk. It's the meaning of the song. Pop punk is just the elements of punk rock mixed with the upbeat tones of pop.

In itself, punk is not something you can define because it's an idea and a mentality. So stop arguing about crap you don't know about.

[Anight7mareX]

@grassvalleystudios

You never answered my question.

[grassvalleystudios]

@Anight7mareX It depends on the idea of the song. It can be if you want it to be.

[Anight7mareX]

@grassvalleystudios

lmao So you're saying if I want a song to be pop-punk, it can be pop-punk just because I said so?

[grassvalleystudios]

@Anight7mareX *facepalm*

Forget it

[Anight7mareX]

@grassvalleystudios

Exactly.

[1FattyMatt]

@grassvalleystudios you said punk does have a certain sound, but it's not a genre...it's the meaning of the song. Just an FYI - meaning is not translated in sound, and this horseshit is closer to the 90210 theme song than the Ramones, Screeching Weasel, or the Vindictives. Bottom line...this song doesn't even get a whiff of pop punk's ass...

[grassvalleystudios]

@1FattyMatt Never said this was pop punk. Cause it's far from it. Just saying Punk is an Ideal in which Punk rock music branched from.

[thatdudethomasx92]

incredible, dude

[sephy1397]

dude awesome solo but show some more emotion when you play, ur obviously really good but show some enthusiasm when you play =)

[xe989]

he looks like he's going to cry

[sephy1397]

nah i just think when your more enthusiastic and you have more feeling atm, your solos sound so much better =)

[artifact26]

awesome man , really great solo .

[mcrpatdrockr]

this aint pop punk...

[aGame284]

what scale do you use for this?

[machogriz]

G Major

[faydedbassplayer]

dude nice solo. i wanna learn that niw :)

[miker12892]

if you know pop punk for real then youd know that most of the guitarist would be lucky to be this good. plus ive never listened to a punk song, period, with a solo that slow paced anyway. pretty weak. this is just bluesy rock soloing from someone who doesnt listen to punk playing to a backing track made by fags who think pop punk is much simpler than it generally is.

[machogriz]

out of curiosity, what would be a pop punk song you approve of?

[miker12892]

well not approve of but that might represent it better would be anything between blink 182 (no matter how cliche that sounds) to something like turncoat by anti-flag to back to oregon by broadway calls to seventy times seven by brand new. the songs are simple but the beats arent just hi hat snare and bass with a repetitive power chord formation. i just hate backing track is what im getting at i suppose.

[machogriz]

cool, thanks for the info

[Leidgam17]

1:20 Uppps

[forigen86]

u call this solo??? every idiot who knows scales can do this ...

[myroyaldie2]

at 3:56 who is that? on the computer screen

[traildigger911]

god u look like a stoner u realy enjoy it dnt you

[berhack]

Hi, can you please tell me what audio set up you have? I would like to record videos similar as you, but I don't knwo what mic to buy. Nothing professional, just for my own interest.... Would it plug right into the HF200?

[machogriz]

my setup is this: my guitar is plugged into a line 6 ux2 studio which goes straight into my computer and I use Garageband to record the audio. After recording the video, I line up the Garageband audio with the video camera's audio. If you are looking at buying a mic, I would suggest either a shure sm57 or a sennheiser e609. You could probably get an adapter or 2 to be able to run it straight into your video camera

[lincolnchannel]

Booah !!!! I luv this kind of music !!!

you're sooo awsome !!!

[DuhSeth]

great solo

[FranciscoSCarvalho]

Thank you very much!

[idksomename]

This is GREAT, 100% love it, i watch this vid a lot now, thnx!!!

[machogriz]

Thanks! I've got a number of other videos with similar guitar styles in them. Check them out, too!

[FranciscoSCarvalho]

Can you tell me your amp settings, pls?

Thanks. Great solo!

[machogriz]

I used line6's version of a Vox AC-30 and a tube screamer. Here are the settings for them: Amp: Drive - 4 o'clock Bass - 2 o'clock Cut (Mid) - 1 o'clock Treble - 2 o'clock Presence - 1 o'clock Volume - 4 o'clock Tube Screamer: Drive - 2 o'clock Gain - 12 o'clock Tone - 4 o'clock Hope this helps!

[lneme]

FANTASTIC TONE, IMAGE AND TASTE!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

How did you get this image high quality, dude??

[machogriz]

Thanks! From using a Canon Vixia HF200 video camera. It records in HD. Then used Sony Vegas 8 to render it to 1280x720 HD for upload to youtube.

[JustWrongStudios]

Very nice solo, great playing. Good job!

[sumzebra99]

nice job, keep up the good work. Btw, what scales did you use?

[machogriz]

Thanks! Most of it was G major, a few runs in G major pentatonic, and I think one or two quick spots in G minor pentatonic.

[GuitarRocks23455]

Nice man!, and sweet tone
