Try using your whammy bar more on the solo. Like at 2:54...the D at the 12th fret would sound right if you just slowly pressed down and released the bar.
Woohoo! One of the best covers I've seen yet. Nicely done, man. It makes me really want to learn this song. BTW, it's comforting to know that I'm not the only one who mouths the words to songs when I play them. XD
@SantYVideosRecords2 haha thanks man, although in fairness this vid hasn't even been up for a year yet, and this is easily my highest viewed video (next highest one is just over 3,000 views) so with some time I'm sure I'll get those deserved amount of views :) Feel free to check out more of my videos, I have plenty.
I've been playing for 1 year and have just about finished this (playing bass for 3 years). This question may sound silly but just about how good am I if I can play this. When I tell people I play music they ask how good am I. Which I do not know how to answer. Also, adding on to that I can play The awakening by Les Claypool and the HolyMackeral on bass. Just wondering about opinions...
Very nicely played! I've been noodling with this song off and on, might have to actually learn the solos now... I have a couple of hot-rodded Strats, I'll have to use one of them for this! Good job!
dude, ur great, i wish i could play like that. just show some enthusiasm, you act like a zombie, except for the smile lol. im gonna ask for a guitar this year, what do have? recommendations? peace up the Irons
@OnlyAKnife haha I was actually a little drugged up when i made this video, i had gotten an ingrown toenail taken care of prior to the recording. I'm a fan of Ibanez guitars, that's what I play. The RG series guitars are great guitars for a great price. You just may wanna learn how to re-string them first and also realize the electronics in the guitar may need work. If not that I say go for a schecter or a jackson. Although it really depends on what kind of music you're playing. Hope this helped
@bk2421 i want to get an ibanez 1980 destroyer like the one Phil Collen (Def Leppard) played on the pyromania tour. Adrian Smith also played one on the video for this song.
Nice cover ! Playing was good and your on time. However your guitar doesn't seem really loud. Also what is that feedback at 0:42 ?... Nice solo ! But oh my God... Use your neck pick up ! This ain't an option... Also altern more picking during solo. Still sound flawless to me. Really fun song to play indeed, you should try playing it with more harmony. Add some... It's really cool !
Kinda funny that you're wearing a Megadeth shirt while playing an Iron Maiden song. :)
Badass cover. The only thing I saw that was wrong with it was that you were a little slow on the fist string of hammer-ons/pull-offs towards the beginning of the solo. Still, it's better than a lot of The Trooper guitar covers. Keep up the good work. :)
@maidenizeyou sadly, i did not :( I just found this shirt being sold at a hot topic and quickly purchased it. I do plan to see Megadeth this year at the Rockstar Mayhem Festival in Camden, and possibly at the Big Four Tour in Yankee Stadium.
@bk2421 i want to go but I dont think I can because I am already going to see Motley Crue. Hot topic doesnt deserve to hold such an awesome shirt. Mine is legit. lol
Sweet cover dude! Rock on, check out my metallica covers!
