Hotel California (Solo)

[genxvoice24]

Great job! Check out my vid if you get a chance to. Not as good as this , but not bad.

[thebrknc]

more distortion less glasses :D

[Hallootjesful]

You are AWESOME!



[jussi41077]

scusa ma con una gibson puoi fare di meglio

[OKUplay]

i think i'd rather hear it with a backing track... however simple. on the other hand... i wish i could play that well.

[LazBro123]

YOUR SUNGLASSES ARE AWESOME...... GREAT JOB :D

[roykejanssen]

nice wallpaper. nice guitarplay !

[HananEafergan]

Great Job:)

[m4rio0710]

What pick ups are those?

[P8Dealer]

Awesome, you made it with sunglasses. ^^

[jumpabcdef]

nice sound

[elcuate500]

Hey man, awesome Job

[MatDamon2010]

Not bad! Well, tbh it would be very good with backing track

[CovoDiChopperfield]

joe satriani!!!

[McJeyd]

being able to rock out without the song playing, with a gibson, and with shades.........truely awesome

[shareliszz]

nice shades lol

[motokev]

not easy to play any solo without backing.... soooo NICE JOB

lose the sunglasses and try some buddy holly shades

[cousinx]

@motokev Thanks for the kind words, Buddy Holly huh? I'll take a look. Take care and keep on rockin bro!

[KIOLAable]

[njay94j]

[chrisfender76]

joe satriani you ressemnble has

[MiKeLbass10vng]

How many guitars do you have?

[wuksad]

lil' to high sound :) but still awesome.

[grover511]

Maybe less mid would sound good. I liked it though.

[cousinx]

@grover511 Thanks bro! I'm still trying to get that perfect tone. Keep on rockin' - James

[driftpick1125]

beautiful guitar man, love the burst, I actually took time to put this video on top of the real song, very nice

[Merovamal]

some parts your were playing kinda too fast . besides this there were a few very small mistakes but your plaing very good and i like the sound :)

what guitar is that ? and wat amp were you using in this video ? :X

[Tapiola2007]

Overall - nice job, but a work in progress.

Less distortion will give you a slightly cleaner and smoother tone.

Also, play less with your fingers and think more about the feel of the solo: it's one of the all time classic classic rock solos and needs to be felt as much as played.

Oh, and lose the glasses, mate - there's only one Satch ;)

All the best!

[TylerGGrinstead]

Tone, but overall very good.

[cousinx]

@TylerGGrinstead thanks bro! I'm still looking for the settings to get a really smooth tone! Let me know if you have some pointers. Thanks - James.

[shanec2008]

wat les paul is that??? i think i can c studio but im not sure????

[cousinx]

Hi shane, this is a 1960 Gibson Les Paul Classic. (The 1960 has a slim taper neck, while the 1950's style is a fatter neck.) It is pretty much a LP Standard but, different pickups. Hope this helps. - James

[skatman108]

[cousinx]

Hi Alan, thanks for the kind words. Hang in there, I started on a 'Sears Special' and worked my way up. Take care and keep on rockin' - James

[EpiphoneLESPAULgod]

Wut kind of guitar is that? Standard?

[cousinx]

Hey, this is a Gibson Les Paul Classic. Thanks for watching - James

[MartaineJr]

it's a classic? I thought it's a standard that had her pickups switched, doesn't a classic have a symbol of a "sliced" diamond shape on it's headstock?

it doesn't really matter though, it sounds sweet.

[cousinx]

Hey Martaine, Yep, it's a Classic, a lot of people draw the same conclusion you did though. The LP with the 'sliced' diamond is a Custom. Thanks again, bro! - James

[almor619]
