Paco plays Rusty Cooley: "Under the Influence"

[LYTHBAND]

Good to see people trying to cover this song,the stamina required is ridiculous

[moltocaca]

Pleaaaaase, repost the backing track somewhere, the file is no longer valid and I'm desperate!...great playing by the way, keep it up...

[blacidevil]

This is hardly sloppy at all, its a bit dirty but to completely cover an entire Rusty Cooley song as well as this is ridiculous. You did a damn good job man, I am a fucking music Nazi but this came out great.

[tastytasters]

To all those concerned, how the hell is this sloppy? : \ My best guess is that the tone here doesn't have the optimal gain settings or the mid/bass is eating out the treble of his sound but any real guitarist who actually plays with ears can't possibly call this sloppy work. Perfect? no. kick-ass? absolutely. Sloppy? that's a completely misinformed and uneducated statement.

[LYTHBAND]

@tastytasters Good attempt, but its sloppy,gota give credit to him though playing this piece all the way is very demanding...

[puguhsurabaya]

great job brother,......

[riotgrrl1351]

Great job man! This is a difficult piece. Keep up the good work!

[MrNagyViktor]

Congrats! How did u get that backing track? Can u please share it with me? Thanx!

[onewingedangelhli]

@MrNagyViktor Read the description

[rustycouch]

Nice job man!!! Keep it up!!

[IsraelSilvaMonje]

ahora ESTO SI ES SEXO MUSICAL!!!!!!!!

[hahawzz]

FUCK YEA!!!!! DAMN I LOVE THIS SONG!

[johnaiton]

Is this song an homage to yngwie?

The riff and solo motifs are i'll see the light ...verbatim

[msnrc]

Great!

[emshagger222]

i think his bad tone is due to how he recorded it. even in HQ, the general quality of the video is amazing. i think someone who can play like that wont have a problem getting the tone dead on

[69Deakin]

i like the solo XD

[billface]

@69Deakin  Which one ;)

[69Deakin]

was a joke... the song is like a looooong solo

[kingjman1994]

Maidentastic ftw.

[Erakko93]

wow nice dude

[blacksebatears]

hey dude

awesome cover

can you send me the tab???

[saxzuruk]

unbelievable

[maidentastic]

A pretty good effort. I wasn't keen on your tone, and you were a bit sloppy, but a hell of a lot better than I could do! I admire your ability to play this at all :)

[Soldano88]

Holy shit! This freaking amazing!So many notes! You should jam with Rusty dude!

[ultimateRupture]

great skills.this song is tough to play but not to learn!i have a problem with the fast arpeggio section i hope i will get it right in a few days:P

[artartart]

that was sick!

[metalhead492]

Holy shit... This is fucking incredible. You had better be in a band or something dude.

[yngwiejunior]

how long did it take for you to learn this?

[krasty009]

omg! STAMINA!

[MattBrennan89]

Some of you people are douche-bags. It is not note-for-note 100% dead on, but damn it...it's still amazing and if I could play a Rusty Cooley song AT ALL much less this accurately...my life would be more than complete. Haha...

Good job man...

[Blickle71]

wow, great job man. I'm probably gonna play this for my Berklee audition. Which Ibby 7 are you playing? Because it looks similair to the older RG7321 I play... but i have 2tone green dims.

[MattBrennan89]

I can't imagine anyone ever being denied to Berklee if they can play a Rusty Cooley song. Most graduates of there still can't even play one of his songs, and his songs don't even display everything he has ability wise.

[Firefret30003]

2 words.....

AWW DAWG!!!!! @D ^___^

[Firefret30003]

very Very cool :)

[Sperzel]

Nice playing, but I hope that tone is a result of a bad recording device, cause it's awful. But your playing, as mentioned, is fucking amazing. ;)

[closedcoil]

wow. very very very fluid man i like your improvization too. id love for you to shred in my band the way to do and your compositions are complex and amazing. ill send you some of my work im no shred maniac like yu but i can write some clasiical riffs and you seem like one of the few guys who can shred over them this good.

[krazydamnklown]

You sure enjoy playing guitar haha, nice playing Paco. :)

[Jr72]

well i know paco is a great player and would say bravo! the song is fucking difficult to play. so'you can play it but it doesn't sound great and there's some wrong parts and a lot of mistakes but thats the hard part of a song (feel it)not play it! so...cool man don't give up

[closedcoil]

2:08 to 2:11 is really cool how you did that.

[olix9595]

one month later, im still jelous i will find you and remove your fingers and replace my fingers with yours

[pts2410]

holy shit...

wow man, you're insane. How long have you been playing? any advice/tips for a guitarist looking to develop some serious chops?

rock on

[olix9595]

im jealous

[olix9595]

[cybertrancer]

I have problem with sweeps... pinky start hurting...

[Maleficusgrekk]

[AngelofJeath]

those one sweeps you do really fast dont sound right because you use string skipping not sweeps, same notes but different feel. othr than that amazing, best ive seen

[htaedmetal]

[qqryq90]

[Jr72]

sorry guys but i can't listenin' the entire song without put my hands on my ears it's sounds bad the way he play that song is wrong(not what rusty do) sounds sloopy too.there's a lot of unfinishin' paternes and wrong section in arpeggios. good but (need practice)

[chucknips]

[xFlamingxGoochx]

[Shredderoftelecaster]

Paco owns most (of the guitarists out) there

[strangestories83]

[Firefret30003]

this will always kick my ass til im wearing my buttocks as a helmet! :D

[fito362]

[hellogoodbye353]

[TonskiTAS]

[onlymexicanhere]

man I hate you!! That was fuckin amazing!! i mainlt hate yor for the first sweep progression. The long ass one. I can play them at full speed but I cant play the entire thing at full speed its just too damn long! Anyways amazing cover man!!

[InShadowsCondemned]

Hey man, great job. You are truly a "Butcher" as  well. :D

[imaguy123]

Paco - It's cool to see you cover Cooley, but your writing is so much better than his. Keep up the hard work!

[Moonohol]

dagds'gadj!1?>!!? Holy fuck! You kick ass. +1,000,000 awesome points.

[TheCellarGuardian]

You are the first person I see able of covering a Rusty Cooley song!!!!!! Your sweeps are perfect. YOU ROCK.

[jobkuizenga]

nice dude!

but plz make more of your own songs.. they rock so damn hard

[MegaReece]

bloody hell, every ones arguing down here vvvvvv, just listen to the music man it's awesome!

[jonaperez]

Genial Paco!! Estas que te sales, como siempre!

[ExtremeBogom]

fucking hell m8 that was just gnarly.

[asharp12]

its a decent cover...certainly better than some of the ones ive seen.....ur sweeping is pretty sloppy though....plus ur tone really isnt that great......but other than that u have all the notes down....now u just need to clean it up lol ;)

[nezmaster1]

Try doing 7 strings sweeps yourself.

[asharp12]

rusty doesnt do 7 string sweeps......thats not what the 7th string is for anyway......rusty doesnt even use that string a lot......

and ill admit that im inexperienced with a 7 string...but that doesnt mean i cant regular 6 or 5 string sweep.....

[nezmaster1]

You can sweep on 7 strings, petrucci does it. You can complete scales with 7 strings, it's not only used for rhythm.

[asharp12]

ive HONESTLY never seen petrucci with a 7 string......well....i dont really like petrucci anyway.....dont get me wrong...hes got great skill...i just dont like his compositions....

and u CAN if u want....but thats not really what its for.....but bottom line....cooley doesnt sweep normally with the 7th string....ok? lol

[nezmaster1]

The Glass Prison, Under A Glass Moon, Dance Of Eternity... John Petrucci, 7 string... He wouldn't have a 7 string signature model if he didn't use one.

[asharp12]

im not saying he doesnt use one...im just saying that since i dont even really like petrucci ....i wasnt aware he USED a 7 string....

learn to read..

[IChinaManI]

well you haven't seen petrucci then ;)

[acideos]

wow....your too fucking accurate to be human.

[JeanJacquesMontreux]

¡Qué grande eres, Paco! Si te tomó 3 horas aprenderla y tres días perfeccionarla para grabarla de un tirón... Mis respetos, como siempre. xDDD Siempre se agradece un video tuyo. Espero ansioso ese Sevens. ^_^

[goohsm]

nice to see you here InstruMentalCase. :)

[InstruMentalCase]

MASSIVELY GREAT JOB, PACO! How long did it take you to learn this?

[PacoHRGuitar]

One morning (Monday)from 11:00 to 14:00 for the hard core job, the following evening for polishing and solidify, and another evening, 3 days later(yesterday) to revise my interpretation and finally record it. No kidding! xDD I´m very familiar with Rusty´s technique, which methe learning process a lot easier.

Next cover coming is "Sevens" by Guthrie, by the way... :-)

[InstruMentalCase]

You're a freakin' psycho man! Make sure your fingers don't fall off.

[johnaiton]

awesome :D

I've been a fan for a while Paco;

when are you getting a cd out?

I'll need to get back to the shred academy again!

[johnaiton]

you're a fucking powerhouse of a player Paco

[verdigrisband]

Felicidades porque esa cancion, si bien no es excesivamente complicada guitarristicamente para ti... en cuanto a entrenamiento de resistencia, un 10!
