[5150BALANCE]

Needs work!

[ab1274]

i LOVE that axe. i keep thinking 26 year old Eddie is going to burst out of your closet and ask for his guitar back

[SKejtzazivot]

You played it nicely. BUT! I hate that there's always a but and guys startet hated me for being real.

The guitar is out of tune and the tone on the intro is kinda crappy. But you still played it well.

[piecrust8]

Would be epic if it was in tune and there wasn't much fuzz.

[AryanScot]

Turn your volume knob on the guitar down a bit to clean up the sound. Eddie NEVER had it all the way up at 10.

[lionsfan1014]

thats pretty damn good for not using a trans trem

[Lilrocker5150]

buy a noise gate

[SoundOfAShark]

@Lilrocker5150

Or re wire the guitar properly I personally think he needs a tuner

[gblespaul]

Ouch!

[BlakeFoster050]

okay - tune your guitar- and if you don't have a trans trem, the use a capo on the 3rd fret

[codyelir]

you're right about the tuning, you HAVE to use trans trem, but at least he's trying and it's not bad, it's just not great without transtrem so everybody stop saying shit

[Lilrocker5150]

@codyelir check my version out

[indrakuda]

youve got to use transtrem...many different tuning

[Lilrocker5150]

@indrakuda no u dont, check out my version, no transtrem

[8675309mmm]

nice try but this song is impossible without transtrem cause he changes tuning like 6 times

[Lilrocker5150]

@8675309mmm no its not check out my version

[WSeamon4]

please tune your guitar!!!

[pearldrummer1]

OMG take this video off until you learn how to tune a guitar. That's step 1

[pepp5150]

keep it up!!!

[5150Alan]

just next time practice more before you ever do this again. that way you dont have so many people saying shit about how you sound

[EZShredz111]

dude seriously you should not butcher songs made by such great musicians.

[MOSKII58]

try open inversions instead of barre chords, it will open up & fill your sound,too many people overuse barre chords, or when they shouldn't be used.

mainlt on the G/A/D

[skabby101]

Eddie would probably shoot you if he heard you attempting this......

[frankenstrat25]

dude he duzny have a transtrem so he cant get the tuning that eddie has

[gotoeish]

Ahhhh Tune the damn thing

[Generalwalrus]

Good tone and tecnique, but you're wickedly out of tune.

[frankenstrat25]

it was pretty good u just need a trans trem

[putteylman]

youre great man :)

[ice9001]

Nice guitar but please tune it

[natrapsmai]

It's obvious you can play it but for the love of God tune up before you record!! Injustice has been served...

[pepp5150]

Tune it please,,,, 2nd video I've seen of you where your out!!!!  Peace,,, Tune it already!!! Nice other wize!!!!

[evh7775150]

BTW: I meant that last post in a constructive way. Glad to see kids 2day playing real music not Stink 182 type no talent crap. lol -----> Keep practicing! We all started some where. And have fun! 8>)

[evh7775150]

PLEASE TUNE THAT damn axe! Or work on holding the chords in tune better with your fingers man! Arrrrgh! Our cat ran out of the room! lol Sweet looking axe though.

[FrankieC63]

Needs tuning.

[spencer8857]

one pickup isn't enough to do that song justice.

[iownallnoobs]

it is enough

[strat002]

thats all eddie needed

[chargerman770]

hey

you'd be hard to get Eddie to do that good on short notice

totally enjoyed it mate

[tsanchez5150]

Nice job-looks tough without the transtrem.  Where did you get your guitar. On my wish list.

[Ty4755]

lol good job

[italianstallion421]

did u paint that?

[Guitarchordhelper]

MORE VIDEOS

[kelvinthornton]

You can't play this song like Ed without a Steinberger guitar and expect to hit the same notes/tabs/tuning as he is using.

[kelvinthornton]

After reading this after the post I figured I might be in for a slam with what I said so I figured I should explain myself better. Not saying anyone's attempts are bad, its just without the Trans-Trem system that the Steinberger had, you have to play weird chords that most no one will tab out, where Eddie played this with simple chords due to the system.  Nonetheless, the song is anything but simple. There, I think I explained myself better. Nice playing.

[VH5150MetallicaFan]

where can I find a guitar like that and didi you paint it your self because it looks like the real 5150 kramer email me

[stonedonrock]

what tab do you use?

[drdezz]

i don't really use a specific tab. i seem to always disagree with most of them. for this song i figured most of it out myself, save the harder parts.

[DesignRol]

@drdezz I tend to agree with you about the tab books out there. I've seen tons of tab written music and see the actual artist play it totally different. For the most part, they do help out if you get stuck on a particular lick or phrase. But the way, is that a project guitar you make yourself or a Mean Street guitar or Ed Roman kit? Looks pretty awesome!

[TNkenny]

not bad. would sound much better if your guitar was in tune. nice axe, rock on!!!!

[vanyngve]

nice work ypu played it with your fingers, like edv does it.....greetings from switzerland

[JamesLimborg]

Nice job... guitar sounds a little out of tune... wish your camera caught the audio better. The hammer-on part is all on the 'A' string starting on the 12th fret, then pulling off to the 7th, 4th, OPEN, hammering-on the 4th, 7th, 12th... repeating that again... with your right hand pointer finger hammering-on the 12th fret sliding up to the 14th fret and sliding back down to the 12th fret and pulling off to the 7th fret. Hope you get that part... good luck.

[drdezz]

wow hey thanks for that! I've always thought the way i did it sounded wrong. I'm using a digital camera for now, so sorry for the crap audio.
