Top Gun Anthem (Attempt)

[cabbitsd]

If I'm to remain true to the constructive crit I give everyone else on this website, I HAVE to agree with what Nova780 is saying. Your verses and your little outro are SICK to the NINES. The solo in the middle improvised as it may be... is completely out of key. It almost sounds like you're using a B Pentatonic scale over a song in C. You really should consider cleaning that up and doing a repost.

[Evilstruck03]

Awesome!......I like the picture on the wall :D

[Nova780]

Have you even listen to it yourself? The verse is alright but solo is in a complete other tune than background. Are you def?

[killanata]

dude u fuckin rock and ik how it feels to be called shit for having long hair being a guy.nice pic in the background too fuckin beast u need to keep makin vids like dis and idk if u have posted 1 but u should do a tutorial for this and if u do 1 can u please send me a message to let me know

[jasonkutchma]

[VetteBoy2488]

Hella good man im in mr. Lorentz beginner class and you should stop by dude your freaking amazing love all the videos.

[theevhdisciple]

haha! awesome Lorentz was and still is an awesome teacher you are very lucky to have him!

I might be coming in soon actually What period and what your name bro?

[randomdude10010]

Well done...some places that need timing work, and the solo felt a bit off, and a few octave problems here and there...but overall I liked the other little bits you added....please practice and upload a new video, I'd really like to hear you master this!!! 5 star!

[phileustace]

I agree with Sebbo. You're too self depreciating man. you rock the house down !! This is one

of the best guitar covers of this song that I have ever heard. Well done you fucking rock !!

[sebbbo77]

"Attempt"????

Man, you are a MAESTRO !!

[vandpiben]

Hey m8 when u go to the "solo" u play it in the wrong key

[rustlervxldude98]

hell yea

[bakwerdcurrint]

ok. you did a great job oplaying the song but u are a complete fag for ur long hair. luckily i like the poster in the background so i wont count it against you.

[theevhdisciple]

lol ur calling me a fag just because i had long hair? not surprised by that comment coming from a person who covers acoustic non talent needing religious songs. seriously that's pretty weak. you obviously are an insecure homophobic vote yes on prop 8 gay hating douche bag. dude i may look like a "fag" to you and I greatly assure you I'm straight, but the fact you chose to call me a fag just shows your still in the closet.

[fillthemurder123]

hey nice covers all that u say about the homophobic bakwardcurrint wich is a stupid user name is true ....keep rocking men

[Thomas99Anderson]

@bakwerdcurrint A fag for having long hair? Dude, have you seen the majoirty of heavy metal musicians? About 90% of heavy metal musicians have long hair. Are you gonna call all them fags too? Sheesh...you're an idiot.

[KreatorOfDeath1985]

you look like the Gieco Caveman, RIGHT ON

[FirstBase2004]

keep practise and dont take that staff again:-)))

[archangel670]

man up to 2:45 secs this was a bad ass cover!!!! but the solo was really rough i listened to it all the way through... but at 3:38 it got awesome again... at 3:56 where you tried to do your own thing again was kinda cool in away... but really annoying in another. stick to the original its a classic. Its really kinda cool when people stray from the original to see what kind of creatiivity they come up with. occasionly their covers are better than what your paying homage too.

[ivanjairala]

jajaja gordo freak!!

[theevhdisciple]

¡Usted bitch estúpida esto es un video viejo! ¡Usted chupa! ¡Vaya aprenda a jugar guitarra!

[BrAnDoNdUtToLiO1991]

@theevhdisciple faggot

[theevhdisciple]

@BrAnDoNdUtToLiO1991 fuck you too?

[alexdb95]

pretty good cover but you need a little less overdrive

[gekstek]

Great job! 5/5

[xVxful]

is that a charvin?

[TheCrowther09]

not bad at beginning but the rocky solo part was improvised badly id stick to the original mate and maybe tweak sum of the bits and use the whammy bar for gentle vibrato rather than your fingers it sounds more fluent and joe like!!!

[PADRES294]

xenu(dot)net

[KageNinja16]

not even close

[overexert]

Olha, gostei muito até a hr do solo. Aí no solo você improvisou e não ficou bom, pois o solo é o clímax desta múscia, por isso dou 3 estrelas...

abrax

[Dannos8]

AWESOME very nice

[YukinoandArima]

Awesome dude! Perfect!!!

[thedeem0N]

I think Stevie Steven's originally played to top gun anthem there....

[butt4245]

[mikenally101]

[pitbikeexport168]

[ar10eagleshot]

Hey man, don't listen to people who are just gonna run ya down. You did a great job, I play guitar too, nicely done bro. Keep rockin on, post some more stuff man you play good and clean. Peace

[theevhdisciple]

Haha it's cool bro i'm not trippin cause this vid was so long ago and back then i wasn't even anything great now i've gotten a lot better and a few days ago i've learned sweeps and have practiced my music theory! The next vid i upload is gonna be the solo from the song "Lines In the Sand" by Dream Theater.

[AK47cowboy]

[simow7911]

[aresenic14]

[jodielarae1990]

I think itss SOO hot when guys can play guitar... u sure can play. nice job!!

[mattym27]

nice job man

[paskin36]

this dude is awesome nuff said

[WoodsballCOH]

Lol at the solo it just seemed like you said...... fuck this...... and went for your own style, it was different, but still cool, good job bro, i wish i had an electric guitar, but dont oyu have to practice at like 7 years old to be super good lol, im only 16 btw

[Mongoelg]

If you practice right and enough you can become pretty decent technically within 1-2 years.

[nemesisrogue]

You couldn't last 2 weeks without crying. No surprise. Not even when my last messages answered your q and were quite nice in tone. Encouraging, even.

Everything is true. Choose to accept and critique your play or get defensive and continue to sound like an orang utan with broken fingers.

Your call. Whining at me ain't gonna make you play better.

[theevhdisciple]

dude wtf?! i havn't even said shit to you bro wtf are you jupin on my ass for? "metallicafan05" is the one saying shit lmao

[nemesisrogue]

You replied to me and I got a message saying I was a fucking liar.

Good to see you weren't crying after all.

[theevhdisciple]

nah dude that wasn't me replying to you it was him replying to you through my vid... it'll say it's from me though cause it's my video

[masato20000]

very good!!

[roccvince]

very good

[nemesisrogue]

Why do so man fuck up such an easy song? Not seen a good vid yet! Dude, your timing is all over the place and your clangs and VHisms stink to high heaven.

And WTF was that at 2.48?

As for the solo - were you even trying to stay in key?

FUCK!

[theevhdisciple]

all i'm going to say is that dude seriously this vid was over a year ago lol that i at the time had no idea how to really play guitar, that i've actually learned how to play in key and that i'm planning on placing a new vid up... the timing for the solo is fucked up but for the ret of the song i have no idea what you're talking about.. and if it's so easy plz put up a vid of yourself playing it for comparison...

[nemesisrogue]

No idea what I mean? Check out teh string clangs, the misplaced and ill thought out Van Halen style harmonic squeals.

And you challenge everyone who dares criticise you? C'mon...

Been playing 18 years, been a pro guitarist & teacher and am beyond the need to post videos of myself.

[theevhdisciple]

I'm not challenging your criticism i'm asking honestly where i have made mistakes to improve myself.

yes i'm very aware that i could not play more than a year ago. My explanation is that i was not at all knowing what music theory was at the time i had been playing a little over 2 years at that point not even begun to think about lessons because i did not have money to take them.

[nemesisrogue]

Dude, check out my criticism and see why it's made. Music theory (or lack of) has nothing to do with timing, with VH divebombs when inappropriate and bad sense of melody.

2 years is a long time. I was playing Eruption after 18 months.

I am not criticising difficult stuff but easy stuff. If you can take this criticism then you will get better and can record another version.

I think that's fair comment. Don't you?

[theevhdisciple]

yes thank you for finally being positive sir!

like i previously mentioned i plan on already making a new vid to replace all the previous ones

[nemesisrogue]

Good.

Listen to the original and see how Steve Stevens gets more aggressive with each rendition of the theme but doesn't go the whole hog with the 2nd fret pinched harmonics with a trem dive? It's because that would be too much and spoil the mood.

Good luck and, watch the timing and hope to see it soon.

[nemesisrogue]

As you have no idea what I am talking about:

pure noise at 1.27 - 1.30, 2.16, 2.35 - 2.40, 2.48

Timing errors at 0.25, 0.35 (these are repeated a few times throughout).

Terrible improv/solo writing skills.

Playing out of key.

Would still sound terrible it it was in key.

Bad playing aside, my initial comment was strong becuase you;res was the 8th vid I had seen where no onn could even play it properly.

Anyway, congrats on not being a coward and deleting the comments.

[ben5234]

5 stars from me couldn't fault you =]

[gobuxx20101]

That's an attempt? Wow that's real good.

[muhkuh224]

this guy is racist

[theevhdisciple]

ok dude first of all fuck you! second i am not fucking racist i won that dumbass poster a long ass time ago at a fucking fair because when i was young chick posters were cool. I could care less about being racist i have better things to do than be an ignorant fucking redneck KKK faggot. If you think i'm racist then fuck you.

[muhkuh224]

MY bad my bad I thought you were someone else just forget that comment.sorry about that it wont happen again

[theevhdisciple]

i appreciate that and greatly respect you apologizing thank you

[cheesey505]

you have A LOT of tallent. very good 5 stars.

[Cashpa24]

[ShredWithMe]

cool vid and great playing but i was more focused on the rebel flag to the left

[theevhdisciple]

not racist lol when i was young the chick posters in ur room was cool but i've grown out of that now and have actually thrown them away...

[SammyTC1320]

i like it!!!! good job!

[6xSnake6x]

[carguy12345678910]

[theevhdisciple]

lmao you're an idiot i bet you can't even play guitar. I did not fake this second that guitar is not crappy. go play w/ ur other faggot 12 year old friends little guy. lmao

[carguy12345678910]

It does not look like u are playing because it sounds like it in the movie? What Kind of guitar is this then??

[carguy12345678910]

look at me play ill post a video response smart ass

[hondoVH5150]

Looks like an Ernie Ball you FN moron. And yeah, he's actually playing.....fuckwad.

[Vanhalen1014]

yea...thats an EVH Ernie Ball/Music Man...the farthest thing from a crappy guitar there is...dickhead.

[theevhdisciple]

actually it's an OLP MM1 W/ Flyd Rose but same design as Ernie Ball

[williamhtrice]

yeah, seriously. YOU CAN'T CHANGE KEY RANDOMLY just because it's easier..! It's so painful to my ears once you've been locked into such a clear key for several minutes. Other than that, really not bad.

[eddiefan36]
