Man, it takes some serious balls to cover that one. You did it well. That's my favourite LP song by any artist. Kick ass!

[PILLOWofECHOES]

Great singing and playing

[simonsmanor]

Hey man great playing. you should grow the beard and do a tribute act! I'd pay to see that!

[bluesuburban]

hey don't know if you can get over there know you are a gibson man but loads of my friends (well 4) have bought the Vitntage V1oo peter green lemon drop retails at aoiut £250 GBP has out of phase wiring and the reports are oustanding have you played one yet??

[eddielang2]

Good job Dan.  It's nice to hear heart and soul coming from a guitarist!

[Paul6550]

Great! Look, could you do I've just got back from Baby's? Love that song!

[winnardairshows]

Sweet! I think my next amp is gonna be a 2204.

I passed one up a couple of years ago, been kicking myself since.

[jimmypage4mayor]

as always just great playing, great tone, and great gear

so good

[rnrhc10]

Hi Dan, what an incredible sound you make with your gear. I've got exactly the same Les Paul as you've got, but in combination with my 30 Watt Marshall DFX I can't get that FAT tone you make.

Maybe I've got to use the knobs on my Amp more often. I just plug in and play. Mike, my son, a much better player than me, knows all the sounds he can get out of his Marshall 100 DFX.

Best wishes to you and your family and have a great 2009.

Greetingzzz

[skydog46]

Thanks very much Rob!! That's very nice of you to say and I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and New Years holiday!!!

[fretboarder]

@rnrhc10 get your self a all valve amp and youl get that fuller tone i used to have a marshall solid state with my r8 infact 2 of them then i ogt a marshall valve i havent looked back..

[fretboarder]

@rnrhc10 the problem you have is with the amp i used to have one solid stae amps are thin sounding compared to all tube,plus the sixe of the speaker he's using in the video helps..

tube amps just sound so much thicker than solid state.. a good tube amp is a marshall dsl401 can be found on ebay for good prices..

[StowBurst]

Whats up dude!! Sounds great..your the main youtube rocker man! We were chatting about you in the pub the other night.

[skydog46]

Wow...nothing good I hope! LOL!!!

[guitargonzo]

Wow... Dan Brown Sugar is by far my favorite ZZ Top piece!! You really nailed it! Too bad you shaved your beard off :-))))

And the slide play was really sweet... maybe you can do a slide lessons for your fans out there?

Really enjoyed this one! Greetz...

[CarlosPinto88]

Great tone.

As always. Peace CP

[antei1237]

Great stuff as always bro!

[hardrockerdave94]

Just wondering, are you into Joe Bonamassa at all? If you haven't heard anything by him, listen to bridge to better days and one of these days.

[skydog46]

I think Joe is an incredible talent....I wish he'd slow down a little...not just his playing either...he's so good that he is in danger of becoming a "swiss army knife" type player....I wish he'd just concentrate on some good rock blues and leave the Eric Johnson stuff alone. Just my opinion of course.

[titok49]

great tone...ever played a vintage modern marshall?

[skydog46]

No I haven't. Do you like them?

[Zztop128]

Great playing! What are the settings? any pedal?

Peace

[skydog46]

We don need no stinkin pedals mang!!! ha!!

Seriously..thanks. No pedals. Presence on 6, Bass on 3, mid on 7, treble on 9, master on 3, pre on 7.

[Zztop128]

Ha lol ;-)

Thanks for the settings ;-)

[heartofsoul]

Don't forget all NOS Mullards makes a Big Difference in the Tone.

Plus being talented helps.

You sound Killer,Some people have it, some don't.

I'll keep dreaming :)

[Yozo84]

Hey Dan great song. Was jammin 2 that song at work on my Mp3. Make Billy G. proud.Nice tone

[skydog46]

A how, how, how...or is it haugh, haugh, haugh?? LOL!!! Thanks.

[altadena57]

Hi Dan; Thanks for continuing to showcase the great classic tones you get from your gear. I enjoyed the clean "pinch harmonics" or whatever you call them, that you were getting.

Could you do a close up of your pick hand getting the harmonics??

I've watch other videos, and I imagine you're using basically the same technique, but I'm always interested in watching how others get those great squealy tones. (just a request, if you want to)

[skydog46]

Thanks man...there's a node (a place along the fingerboard where harmonics naturally come out) a node just beyond the pole pieces of the neck pickup as you're moving towards the rear pickup....this is where you need to pick. You grab the pick way down low and when you pick the notes you make sure to pinch the strings a little with the fleshy part of thumb and or forefinger as you pick!!

Thanks for listening!!

[dcooper830]

Hey Dan. I've been enjoying your videos for close to 2 years now. I always pull 'em up when I need to hear great Les Paul tone through a nice Fender or Marshall. Nice slide playing too!! Keep up the great work and Happy Holidays!

[skydog46]

Thanks my friend. Merry Christmas!!!! Happy Holidays to you too!!

[bugabutu]

man you have good gear, someday I will buy marshalls and gibsons

[skydog46]

It's all about the gear....or is it????? Thanks.

[leftystrat62]

With the kind of feedback you were getting I don't think you were playing too quiet,lol. Someone's going to want to open up a can of woopass on you.

[skydog46]

Whodat???

[SoloBen247]

screw the kids! if i had that amp I'd crank that sweet tube tone all day til i got it tooken away by the police!

[skydog46]

No....jail sucks!!!

[SoloBen247]

the tone of it cranked to 10 is worth a life sentance! \m/

[Noitpure]

Sweet tone! I say turn it up! The kids need a break.  Sounds great Dan!

[stoneyblues]

Sweet tone, Rev Billy would be proud. I get a similar tone from my Metro JTM 45. Nothing like a vintage Marshall amp
