American Idiot Cover

[DannyRodriguezFilms]

Nicely done, dude! Check out my creative cover of this song where I use stop motion with over 1000 cuts, play the solo with my teeth and play the drums using only an acoustic guitar! The title of the video is "Crazy American Idiot", click on my channel to see it!

[PunkRock7067]

@ Spazza42: no you're not ^^ I'm also playing them with  2 fingers.

[marianobmas13]

que navo jajaja pero suena peola,

[Toemta]

I don't care if it's sloppy, this is fun to watch!

[RedHotChiliZephyrs]

Nothin wrong with that, thats what musics about

[punkiassjunki]

sounds good..maybe a little bit heavier if possible the next time... sounds great compared to others..but the shittest quality out there lol but nice playing.. check mine out. im 12

[GMSkull]

excellent job

[Spazza42]

Am I the only person that plays a power chord with 2 fingers, everyone I know and have seen plays them with 3

[crossfire1]

Are you only playing the root and the fifth? I play them with three now because I like adding the octave. Used to play with only 2 fingers though...

[iownapolo]

not too shabby. not to shabby at all. kudos for rocking out and not looking as if there's a million other places you'd rather be.

[MusicMkePL]

GOOD JOB !!! 6/5

[BillieJoeGreenDayFan]

oooooooookey!!!!!!!

[alymarie8]

oh my gosh.. i love you curtis :)

[Toemta]

haha, really loved your movements xD

[NFSJason]

wth your like dancing around

[Da1nton]

Good Job

[PolinoL]

the clip you were playing was from Rock Am Park,right? I saw the concert on MTV

[Gibson973]

Its Bullet In A Bible dude

[ppand20]

check my cover of american idiot best vocal and sing

[mathildeandnatania]

what is it?/

[BluesTS808]

wtf are you using your super reverb?? haha i didnt know you could play punk with that thing

[crossfire1]

Haha actually I'm using my old fender cyber champ here, I didn't have my super reverb, yet. The SR can actually play punk really well. Honestly you can play almost any genre of music with it, you just have to have the right pedals and settings, etc.

[MooDogProductions]

lol awesome nice dance moves too

[cjs360]

this is awesome i giv it 5 stars!!

[toyuto]

to be honest im amazed ive seen a lot of american idiot covers and this is the best!!!!!!!!!!

5 star :)

[KriiL08]

xD cool

[ComAc2005]

very good, have a look at our cover.

[Noodlez222]

good job! 5 stars

[atgod94]

liked how you actually seem to enjoy yourself unlike other ppl who just sit in bed and play...-.-

good job

[altaccount93]

While it's not the hardest song to play(hell, even I can play it), you still did a good job of it. Also, it's nice to see that you're not afraid of being embarassed by rocking out.

BTW, why'd you use the Bullet In A Bible version and not the album version?

[crossfire1]

I just happened to be watching it, and I also liked having the visual aspect of the song there =)

[BillieBartBarbosa]

fuck

[xlaulauex]

you are good!

[Knoxus0208]

Hey, good cover. Can I just ask, when you're stood up playing, how do you only hit the correct 3 strings? Whenever I strum like you I always tend to hit the other strings by accident and it really fecks up the sound. Thanks.

[crossfire1]

It's really just a matter of practice, and it helps to anticipate it. But even if you tend to hit some of the other strings, it still sounds fine because those are just really short parts.

[ghost0127]

also, mute the other strings with the side of you index finger. then you only get the right strings

[7Jimmy7]

if your having that problem,try muting the strings you dont wanna hit with the fingers you arent using,might help.

[colt39]

use sustainer pedal at start.

[crossfire1]

Huh?

[MatPaget]

a sustainer pedal

so you can play along with the sustained part as well

[crossfire1]

I know what a sustainer pedal is, but what sustained part are you talking about?

[MisterSirKenny]

They mean some sort of EQ pedal, for the very first part at the start.

[crossfire1]

Yeah, not necessary for the song, though.

[MisterSirKenny]

Yeah, especially the BiaB version.

[UKLurker]

Great to see some energy in a performance, excellt cover.

[Ballroomxfall]

[LinkinParkTony]

I realy like the way your guitar sounds :] its way better than mine xD

anyway, pretty cool cover, but the song isn't that hard to lern...

greetings from germany ;]

[crossfire1]

Thanks! Yeah the song isn't hard to learn, but check out my cover of Couldn't Stand the Weather (a la SRV) for a more challenging song.

[11808936]

Lollies. Good Cover Though.

[11808936]

How Old Is That Computer to the left? O_O

[crossfire1]

LOL that thing is like...20 years old I think, maybe older.

[cadresde]

what guitar is that, fender srv? sick tone

[crossfire1]

It's a John Mayer strat. Looks like an SRV though, doesn't it?

[koreanboi722]

Nice Keep on Rocking~!!!!!

[c0rnball]

hey not bad man

[gumpbats2threscue]

awsome dude keep it up

[hungryhippo47]

Good job dude...what kind of guitar is that?

[crossfire1]

John Mayer strat.

[Greenromance182]

mmm when u play guitar u just moving like a crazy man, no no no no is a crazy man u r a rocker, ywah i move like you when i play the guitar, and i move like slash when he is dancing with lenny or i move like jimmy, hey hi is the best, or the god of the rck, led zeppelin

[IMLIKEHATE]

you are picking to much up n down! please do just down :) AWESOME :D

[crossfire1]

Thanks, but you're supposed to pick like that; just constantly strumming but only actually playing on the beats you're supposed to be playing on. You can even watch Green Day live, that's how they do it.

[IMLIKEHATE]

okay, its awesome!

[gumpbats2threscue]

actually to play the song properly you have to play up and down

[krull94]

si man exajeras mucho pero neta es uan cancion facil tokada bien XD sigue asi jejejeje cheka mis covers

[blazerownsyou]

wow how did you get that beautiful pitch in your guitar

[octiramone]

[ecuaboyunit]

good job

[mjdrules]

[Klodas813]

That was really great!! Are you backuping with the Bullet in a Bible concert? :)

[crossfire1]

Sure am!

[iMervyn]

Awesome vid mann What do u think of my one?

[crossfire1]

Thanks man. I like your vid, but there's still an extra note in the second powerchord (C sharp powerchord) that shouldn't be there. Cheers!

[iMervyn]

I didn't realise! thanks =)

[crossfire1]

Hey no probs!

[downsalas]

hey dude good work, nice song but try for next time to fill more like in youre room and not in a concert

[crossfire1]

What do you mean?

[nathan155555]

damn... KILLER

[m4j35k1]

haha u suck mine is 1000x better

[crossfire1]

For sure.

[blink182fanya]

good cover dude

[southpark001]

pretty damn good

[julbielski]

I Really Need To Find The Right Tuning For The Guitar And Amp . On GAIN and VOICE

[OBAGOALS91]

cool

[dirtydeeds73]

question, is that a les paul in the backround.. if so, WHY THE FUCK AREN'T YOU PLAYING THAT THING

[crossfire1]

It's a Les Paul Special (doublecut)...I'm not playing it cause I got a better sound on this guitar. The Fender is also better quality but the Gibson is nice too.

[dirtydeeds73]

yea it looked like a dc. i think strats suck, gibsons have way better sound quality. strats can go through a beating, and they last long, but i think gibsons are the best.

[crossfire1]

In no way do strats suck, but you can't really compare them to Gibsons because they're totally different. If you prefer the sound of a Gibson that's your preference, but it doesn't mean that strats suck.

[julbielski]

What Tuning Are You Using For Your Guitar

[crossfire1]

Standard tuning.

[julbielski]

ok cool thats what i have

[dirtydeeds73]

well i just think that strats suck for rock, they're more for blues if you ask me

[crossfire1]

True strats are amazing for rock, but they appear in a lot of rock bands. Look at deep purple...Ritchie Blackmore used strats extensively, and all the guitarists in Iron Maiden use strats.

[dirtydeeds73]

whatever, thats your opinion. i dont want to argue. i guess ill just comment you and say good cover.

[crossfire1]

Haha I'm not arguing, just sharing my opinion ;). Thanks for commenting, dude.

[invisicory]

wow u nailed the solo.

[rollercoaster500]

THAT IS SICK!

AWESOME!!!!

best yet

[sixkuzins]

you rock

[218nh]

dude

that sounded just like it

[jamesh13456]

matthewkwn you miss the point about playing guitar mate, its not how complicated it is, its about how good it sounds and, more importantly how much fun you have and tbh this guys acheived both pretty well :)

[crossfire1]

thank you =P

and i see that matthewkwn doesn't have any videos to back up his comment...too bad

[matthewkwn]

um... rnt u a bit too old to be playing american idiot? i could play it wen i was at da beginning of ten.

[julbielski]

I am 10 and i asked him what the guitar tuning is and im almost 11 not the beginning of 10. does make me a retard? IDIOT

[NiekRHCPNiek]

You're really good!!! Moving and playing at the same time is prety hard to do.

[KKSAR]

Is that you justin?

[crossfire1]

uhmm nope haha

[Lilinho90]

great show!! is it bullet in a bible? you're playin' very well :P

[FrontlineLunatic]

You look like my friend.

[bbilland]

good playin. u look like ur stoned when u stimble around, butits funny so its ok....lol

[dookynerd]

that is a beautiful les paul double cut, man u rule

[teddyrocks06]

cool video man, you play really well. Peace!

[goodintentions002]

DUDE! is that a billie joe armstrong signature guitar in the background? why don't you play that?

[crossfire1]

actually that's a gibson les paul special doublecut. i didn't play it cause i got a more ideal sound out of the strat with the setup i was using there, but i'll make some vids with that gibby soon!

[niki70]

lol i cant jump and play bar chords at the same time X__X nice job tho =]

[Roy0rgathe]

its not bar chords he's playing

[yorchvalensi666]

haha ur funny, this song isnt dificult

[damnnoobs]

omg awesome! I cant jump about and play the guitar like you man lol. Awesome job.

[DanielDonkey]

[gold04567]

[gold04567]

[mardybum92]

[greendaycover456]

[polardollar]

Hey, check out my shitty solo. I think I'm playing it wrong.

Hook me up brother.

Five stars anyway, 4 for sound, and one extra for unique..eh.....I-belong-on-sta­ge-itus.

[Rottweiler137]

Shit, thts good!

[bigchamp666]

dude that is awsome, very impressive

[hittbull]

Wuuuw! Perfect!!

[iMervyn]

The sound is awesome dude howd u get thta sound?

[DanielDonkey]

GOOD MAN ;)

[geebhatia]

that tone is absolutely perfect i've watched 30 seconds of this and im prepared to rate it 5 starts but first i must make sure ur solo is right! good job sofar!

[katimbau1]

tocou bem, mas seu estilo é tosco

[birdmanbrett]

i wish poser guitar players would stop playing their shitty music and putting it on youtube.. lets get real here

[crossfire1]

Personally, i don't listen to a lot of green day anymore, but why even watch this if you don't even like their music? let's get some reasoning shall we? and not to sound cocky or anything, but i wouldn't consider myself a poser guitar player. I play in a couple of bands who get regular paid gigs. I'm also willing to bet that I can play guitar better than you.

[birdmanbrett]

im not trying to attack you but the only thing im disapointed in is when i searched crazy guitar solo this came up, it angers me very much... also u might be able to play guitar better than me, but thats okay because i dont own a guitar, but ive been playing bass since i was 6, so i might have you on that hahah just playing around boi
