Pearl Jam Alive Cover

[norfolkandchance]

Fuck me backwards.......with a fish fork.......with sprinkles and a cherry on top. That was the dogs bollocks. Top notch fella, i'd pay good money to see that live.

[prboyd]

@norfolkandchance Thanks for checking it out! Appreciated! My full "live" version with a proper band and singer is up as a response to this vid.

[Mothor1995]

Is that an Ibanez Destroyer DT-350 in the back? :D

[prboyd]

@Mothor1995 Dean ML-XT

[Mothor1995]

@prboyd arh damn. i thought it was an Ibanez DT-350. My bad! pretty awesome cover anyways!

[Freakystyleyme]

[TheJimbotimbo]

Looks like Patrick's channel has gone. Sad but I 'm hoping he's moved onto greater things. Boyd is the new Dwyer lol

[prboyd]

@TheJimbotimbo Boo re Patrick :(

[joe23742]

Yah, reeally good man. wish I could be singin it with you.

[adob2]

nice cover but nothing can beat the original, only shame is that it's hard to see what your playing cos of the sun reflecting off the guitar cos this is a nice version

[prboyd]

@adob2 Thank you. Agree on vs the original. My fav solo of all time. Have a full band collaboration coming out of this soon and I play the solo a lot closer. Rock on

[ItalianStallion393]

I am in absolute awe of the finish on that Les Paul.

[GuitarRiffs13]

That's great because I just put a cover of Alive on youtube too.

[DanielAndriani10]

Sick

What did you use to get the solo tone?

Amp pedals and stuff

[prboyd]

[RedrumsJB]

solo is awsome, how much did you pay for gibson pickups?

[prboyd]

@RedrumsJB Thanks man. Re pickups, they are Gibson HB-L and HB-R. From the eighties. Have a couple of sets and they go for £100+ a set on ebay if you are lucky enough to come accross any for sale.

[supersix54]

Nice.

[prboyd]

@supersix54 Thank you!

[7carpilot]

2:47 It's a Sunburst :)

[dredgfan84]

How long you been shredding?

[prboyd]

@dredgfan84 Been playing properly and practicing for about 2 years before shooting this, so 3 years now.

I am currently doing a full band cover of this with the guys I did my latest Metallica vid with. (feature video on my channel)

[kbzdita]

[ChOoBaJuDe57]

[theotherstevo]

[prboyd]

@theotherstevo Thank you. Peavey 5150 ampsim

[spfccsmft]

This is great.  Did you record all the tracks yourself?

[prboyd]

@spfccsmft Thanks man. No on the other tracks (is a backing track), but spookily enough I am in the process of doing a full band cover of this with the guys I did my latest Metallica cover video with.

[Trotro011]

Just one word: Wow! Amazing

[prboyd]

[prboyd]

@CanadianRockerEh Thanks man. Rock on!

[qwerty96347]

This is great. I always try to jam along with it, but I get confused after the 1st verse. Great cover, though.

[NapoOBrian]

One of the best and most exciting cover.

[prboyd]

@NapoOBrian Thank you! Appreciated. Rock on

[IrishBoson]

Great Cover. Just wondering did the mic on your video camera record all the audio?

[prboyd]

@IrishBoson Hi. Thank you. I recorded the guitar audio to a multitrack and then mixed it with the backing track on the PC

[shaef16]

great cover bro best i've seen so far im still on the learning path with this one lol

[prboyd]

@shaef16 Thanks man. Took me about two years to finally put in the work for the solo. Still play it once a week or so for fun!

[PennybagDarrell]

dang so the Les Paul is the key. thats why it sounds so bad on my Jazzmaster

[prboyd]

@PennybagDarrell Very very nice guitar! (Jazzmaster)

[PennybagDarrell]

@prboyd hmm its okay its the blacktop series. ive modded it a little.

[elerickkoo]

@PennybagDarrell no,

its the amplifier

[heyhowami]

@PennybagDarrell jazzmasters and jaguars. WAYYYYYY cooler then strats. sadly my jags headstock broke. ....

[aFreshStart2010]

the best cover of Alive..well done mate,,gave me chills

[prboyd]

@aFreshStart2010 Thank you! Seriously. Appreciated and glad you enjoyed!

[dudeitsHAZE]

hey man, great cover. i just was wondering what effects you used? and do you have any distortion on it ?

[prboyd]

@dudeitsHAZE Hi. No distortion (but quite a high gain amp sim). Bit of reverb.

[Warkive]

Every so often I pick a song and look for the best cover of it, or even isolate it down to just a drum solo or the guitar solo. Alive was that song today, specifically the solo at the end. I must have viewed close to 60 samples and yours was far and away the best. I know it's not a Grammy award or anything, but grats man.

[prboyd]

@Warkive Hey man. Seriously appreciate your comment and thanks for watching!

[steveoneil78]

Dude...that cover just melted my face! Nice work!

[prboyd]

@steveoneil78 Thanks Steve. Appreciated!

[Heboi2]

yea, you're right it wasn't perfect, is was beyond perfect :D

i want to learn this song now lol

[prboyd]

@Heboi2 Thank you :)

[JimShadyUK]

Every time I watch a video like this, I kick myself for not practising during all the spare time I had when I was younger.

[prboyd]

@JimShadyUK Hey fella. I was 34 before I really started to learn guitar. Never to late! Thank you by the way and rock on!

[TheBardonator]

I dunno, but for some reason this seems fake... because it is all way to clear.

[prboyd]

@TheBardonator The best compliment.

[hbs187]

such a perfect tone man.. did you record through an interface line in?

[prboyd]

@hbs187 Thank you. I used a Boss GT8 for the guitar tone, recorded into a Multitrack. I then mixed the guitar audio with the backing track.

[nicduffy911]

so good man. good pedal integration. try to tune up the hammering. great work.

[prboyd]

@nicduffy911 rOCK ON :)

[vaquero503]

[prboyd]

@kelbabii1 Thank you! Rock on :)

[Revilingfool]

good shit

[prboyd]

@Revilingfool Thank you

[jayvinsent]

What pedals are you using to get that sound? It's pretty damn close to the original, and I've been trying to find the right equipment for it.

[prboyd]

@jayvinsent Hi. I am using a Boss GT8 here on the Peavey 5150 amp sim. No distortion pedals or anything.

I also engage the wah for the solo

[jimiwho06]

good job dude keep rockin you need to do Black by Pearl Jam if you have nt already

[prboyd]

@jimiwho06 Thanks man. Good choice on Black!

[hudish22]

Is he palm muting the second part around?

[prboyd]

Hi. I am. It says to do that in the official music book I used to learn the main parts, although the fact I am using too much gain makes it stand out a little too much (in my opinion!) Rock on.
