  • dude your shirt is like 1/3 the width of your body..

  • Its not as bad as everyone makes it sound like.

    Sure it could still use work but its good and everyone is bad before they are good.

  • Your name is "Brad" huh?

  • more impressed by the arms and pecs. but still decent.

  • this is pretty bad lol

  • tocas mal y no te hagas el canchero

  • Comment removed

  • It would really be nice to read some comments by musicians that actually support one another! Great Job dude! Keep it up, you'll get that shit down.

  • Vibrato needs some practice, sweeps aren't too bad though

  • You are raping the vibrato, and not in a good way, hell its a guitar, not a clitoris. You also took the liberty of adding your own shit all over the place, and it sounds awful. You have talent, don't get me wrong. but you are using the talent you have in about the worst way possible.

  • vibrato is bad, hell is everything is bad except from the sweeps. it's not even correct

  • not bad, the sweeep section was definately the best

  • I know im not one to talk, but that needs maybe a bit of clean up work...

  • just a little constructive criticism, work on the vibrato, it'll make it sound much better if played without excessive vibrato. there's no doubt that you can play, i would suggest working with a metronome, and just cleaning up a lil bit. it'll come off better

  • You might want to get your hand checked out. the excessive shaking is a bit concerning.

  • That was pretty damn great.

  • Good job dude, Not bad at all. Don't listen to anyone who talks shit on this cover.

  • i love how everyones trashin this kid cause of his vibrato. yes, it was a bit too much but i dont think people realize that he just attempted the selkies solo

  • @plap111 Hahaha, was about to say exactly that.

  • nice fucking elbow picking, come at me bro

  • @Bempley

    lol i'd say something but you're so huge that i'm afraid that you might crawl out from behind your keyboard and beat me up..

  • @Bempley it was a joke. i don't sit at home and work out you faggot. i sit at home and play guitar.

  • @Bempley  lol

  • @jakeshred maybe you should do the same...

  • @Bempley

    lol maybe you should do some pushups or leave your basement and get a tan.

  • @jakeshred there's more important things in life than being a faggot ass guido with no talent.

  • @Bempley

    lol everyon'es big behind a keyboard.

  • @jakeshred just because i'm at home, on my computer doesn't mean i wouldn't shit to you in person. you're obviously an insecure bitch if you can't take criticism.

  • @Bempley

    "nice fucking elbow picking, come at me bro" - that's criticsm?

    and no, you wouldn't say a word to me if you saw me in person, you'd just stare with your mouth open from far away. obviously you're a little insecure for talking shit to me for no reason and feeling the need to respond to me when i said simply "lol". you're not gonna win. you're gonna frustratingly sit in your basement wearing your tie dye shirt and come up with some 7th grade comeback. "come at me bro"

  • @jakeshred lol

  • @Bempley

    lol everyone's big behind a keyboard

  • 1. new strings

    2. better effects

    3. new amp settings

    honestly you can only play so good with a crappy sound.. when you have something clean and crisp sound you just get more encouraged and courageous in your playing.. and you spend alot more time play and the feel is completely different :)

    your picking too had in some spots too.. remember hold close to tip of pick. not really tight but ALMOST relaxed iunno it worked for me. follow these and you should be good :p

  • dude your good.. just shitty amp settings.. turn up the mids :)

  • muscle milk!

  • No.

  • keep practicing, and relax when you play, just leave the vabrato it doesn't really matter that much, and you did a fairly good good on the sweeps.

  • C'mon, we all know this isn't the best attempt ever, but it's pretty damn good. Keep practicing bro you'll get it one day and show all these haters what's up, I'm sure. :]

  • lmfao jersey shore meets btbam!

  • nice attempt at the solo. wasnt amazing but it wasnt bad. at least you can play guitar unlike most of these trolling douche bags. just practice it more before you post it on youtube...

  • for fuck sakes, if you cant play it dont put it on you tube! you took this classic btbam solo and drove it 6 feet into the fucking ground.

  • damn bro, your guitar playing is almost, im saying almost as bad as your bench form hahahahaaaha oh yeah 350? badassssss! hahahahaha get a life kook

  • Jock cough cough Joke sorry

  • i think you could play it if you learned it correctly the sweeping was probably one of the best of all the covers.

  • Your ripped, Dont listen to the dumb bastards about the tshirt. Your a beginner at the solo, learn it before you record it bro.

  • I like how you got the sweeps almost perfect but the beginning solo sucked ass.

     Are you trolling us or what?

  • Nice shirt

  • thanks for putting that link in the description, it made me feel better after watching this crap

  • ok 3 things to tell ... 1. i like your playing it' s pretty great, i can't play that fast

    2. the "guy " from the description named paul gilbert ( guitar god ) wears no shirt at all, if you would do that it would probably look better too and will keep guys from talkin trash on your vids, just an friendly advise :)

    3. i haven't got such an amazing body type so keep on training ;D

  • is there any way to unwatch this. totally killed my BTBAM buzz, Arnold.

  • Very very

    Good. Don't know why people are hating. Sweeps were fantastic. Just needs cleaned up a bit and it'd be perfect.

  • watching u do this solo makes me wanna quit playing guitar.... TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE !!!!!!!!!!

  • @METALLMAN1000

    lol coming from the ugly bastard who can't even play simple songs on bass correctly.

  • @jakeshred My brother wrote that rude comment , not me i think it sounds great so bitch at him dude keep rocking

  • Sweaty ball sack

  • the sweeps were suprisingly good. just get a better amp, replace the strings and play it more clean. but idk why everyone is acting like they can do so much better? doubt 85% of them can even get on your level!

  • lmfao what the fuck is this

    

  • Comment removed

  • The biggest problem with this video is the timing. All over the place. You obviously have good technique, I would just study the source material a bit more. hahah

  • Actually learn the song. That's some GREAT advise-----

  • Not a bad attempt. It was really nervous sounding, that could be due to your vibrato though. Just calm down either way, you looked really tense

  • Good job, man. You did a great job on the sweeps

  • very nice i like

  • this video has given me aids

  • really bad

  • BEEF CAKE!!

  • holy shit ! your the guitarist from Hunab Ku !

    Greetings from NZ !

  • you may be a hench mutha fucker but this is maybe a little out of your skill range

  • Nice shirt. You look like a tool. And you messed up. You disgrace BTBAM.

  • @FoamRisen Why is this +2?

    I'm totally baffled. Someone took a band they like and attempted to play the song to the best of their ability. He's not asking you to care. Some parts were bad, some parts were excellent. Who cares what style he *WEARS*, he's playing guitar, not walking down a runway.

    You are a judgmental prick. I hope you keep making yourself unhappy.

  • hey that was a pretty good job, i sure as hell cant play that.

    although i do agree with some of the people that you shouldnt do as much vibrato. it is more tasteful that way and then it doesnt make you look like some add kid who always has to have his hands moving constantly cuz im sure youre not lol.

    anyways, keep up the good work.

  • why did you think this was a good idea?

  • dude, RGA121, best guitar I ever played, besides my parker fly, lol thats why I own one

  • What the fuck was with the the constant vibratos? Some notes are just meant to naturally ring out, not sound like a fucking strobe light.

    Additionally, I think you need new string or something. Your strings sound like a tin can being kicked into a cheap $50 practice amp.

  • @FallOfHumanity

    well if you would have read the description you would have seen that i was playing through the distortion channel of a microcube

  • @jakeshred

    I understand that you're using a crappy amp, but the strings themselves need to be replaced. Strings are supposed to sound like they have some "life" where as these sound flat and very "twangy", which is a sign that they need to be replaced.

    By the way, I have a Mesa Express 5:25 I use for practice. It's a small 1x10 combo, but it doesn't sound anything like that. The size doesn't matter, it's all about the tonal control of your guitar and how you play.

  • @FallOfHumanity

    it probably could have used some new strings, but i was playing through a distortion channel the whole time, so naturally the clean part's gonna sound shitty. it really is a decent amp, i just wasn't using it right.

  • fairly good i mean covering btbam is no easy thing :/

  • Youtube needs to strengthen its douchebag filter lol

  • IS THAT AN RGA121?!

  • @Ty2052

    yes.

  • stick to bench pressing. youre terrible

  • Timing is off, too much vibrato... BUT I respect you for covering a BtBaM song, and you don't like shit music... plus the sweeps were good

  • You're really good how long you been playing?

  • Nice, it was clean. I'd recommend you'll improvise less, I think it didn't fit with the rest of the song. Try to slow down your vibrato, and feel it with the tempo, instead of moving your finger up and down as fast as possible. But your sweeps were very clean, and I liked the tone. Keep up the good work! (:

  • why the hell do u say shit about this guy??he will practive and play it better.and probably most of u are jealous of his body.instead of encouraging him to try u say u suck pff.get into a real life ffs...

  • god why is everybody so gay... why dont u all just chill seriously... why do u guyz have to be such bitches... dude no offense u fucked up on some parts but it was bad at all.. u gotta work on vibrato but it really wasnt bad at all... and u guys needa stfu u gay ass punks... cuz if u wouldnt say it to his face if u actually saw him then just keep it to urself man...

  • lol dude you suck, take off the hat when your inside fag

  • @Phen0men0nz

    "lol" how do you know it wasn't really cold inside bitch??!

  • @jakeshred you're wearing a tank top, OUTPLAYED!

  • @jakeshred because ur wearing this tiny "shirt"

    btw: practise with a metronome, u have like the worst timing ever

  • Shit. Complete and utter

  • "and i realize i need to work on my vibrato."

    dude, you need to work on your guitar playing skills in general. don't post a video of an extremely hard solo if you can't NAIL it 100%

  • awful.

  • That shaky vibrato is very distracting. Try to work on that my man. It just makes the attempt that much worse

  • good shit man... If I could offer up one piece of advice though I would like to say that your right hand is a little stiff... you have the talent you just need to relax a little, otherwise great work man.

  • Jealousy is an ugly thing. Good job on the solo, man.

  • @EricMLopez lol, you lying son of a bitch

  • @Buhzie15 Riiiight......

  • Lol unless its perfect, youtube will hate it XD And whoever is calling this guy shit or telling him he sucks you must be retarded, those sweeps are VERY HARD (even if they're not 100% thats still impressive.) I guess these haters just seem to be jealous?

  • Lol unless its perfect, youtube will hate it XD And whoever is calling this guy shit or telling him he sucks you must be retarded, those sweeps are VERY HARD (even if they're not 100% thats still impressive.) I guess these haters just seem to be jealous?

  • My impression of this video "AHH SHIT I DONT KNOW HOW TO PLAY THE SOLO SO I'LL JUST ADD IN RANDOM PARTS AND DO SHITTY VIBRATO. MAYBE IF I BUILD MORE MUSCLE PEOPLE WILL STOP MAKING FUN OF ME"

  • @lettucehead999

    lol nice.

    youtube's the only place where you can find scrawny dudes making fun of people that are bigger than them.

  • @jakeshred

    Your defensiveness just makes me ever surer of your insecurity. How are you so sure that I'm scrawny, hm? Or are you just insulting me because you're a little bit sad that someone questioned your obviously godlike muisicianship?

  • @lettucehead999

    the fact that you feel the need to comment other peoples videos acting like a little bitch shows that you're probably a scrawny little punk.

  • Yeah why is everyone hating on this dood cause hes in shape? hes obviously not bad at guitar soooo get the fuck off his nuts and stop being little bitchs

  • way less concerned about your lack of shirt than your lack of ability to play this solo correctly.

  • your sweeping is beasty cool ^^

  • Should spend less time curling and more time learning how to play guitar. Faggot.

  • @Onuund

    lol it must suck to be you.

  • @jakeshred Kinda.

  • @Onuund what a faggot troll maybe u should learn to sweep that shits Extreamly HARD idk how to even start to learn how to do it and he jakeshred didnt even fuck up that solo so wtf is ur problem haha just mad cuz he got the body ya want.. lmao i think it was bad ass cover dude! u kick ass

  • Muscle Milk!!!

  • sloppiest selkies cover I've heard yet but. its better than nothing. you just needed more practice. and maybe a better sounding amp. sweeps were good though.

  • wow that was so awful

  • how come you can play the shredding parts and the sweeps decently, but the rest sucks complete ass?

  • You fucking blow.

  • bro is that you?

  • @gooddudeandy

    yes?

  • No offence...but you could make a "BTBAM SHREDS" video with this...

  • @SoSoSpaced holy tone deaf wtf are you doing??

  • Damn that sucked.

  • bullshit motherfucker it didn't take u no damn 2 hours. more like 2 months maybe. i call shenanigans

  • @mcfloogan123

    lol k

  • @jakeshred Omg! Haha, I'm sorry this was one of my friends on my account. i'm sorry!

  • good cover, you just look a little stiff dude. I FUCKING LOVE YOUR GUITAR THOUGH

  • nice attempt bro. keep working on those biceps lol and yes, too much vibrato sometimes. just a little constructive criticism, it couldnt hurt.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • dad... i am football team

  • Nice job on the sweeps.

  • Ok for the record i'm NOT trolling!

    Gotta say bro not the best vid of this solo i've seen. Don't get me wrong its a decent effort and a fuckin hard solo to master. But overal you weren't very fluid and accurate in the legato and alternate picking parts, your bends and slides were off and your guitar tone was trerrible.

    Looking at your last comment, fair enough for posting this like 2 hours after learning it but i suggest you prepare more before posting more.

    Still not an entirely bad effort.

  • you can play deff but i don't anybody should post unless its near perfect

  • Dude, how long did it take for you to learn it? and how long have you been playing?

  • @xftsttg

    i'd learned it like 2 hours before i recorded it and i'd been playing for like 3 years i think.

  • @jakeshred sick man, i want to play it for some of my exmas but the sweeeping is really annoying right now lol

  • @jakeshred You learned that entire solo in two hours?...questionable....

  • @Insanatey

    technically, this isn't a very hard solo at all.

  • Wow, now that was cool. 5 stars.

  • the beginning sucked, but the sweeps were good

    tool

  • @atreyurocks2534

    lol you're tryin to talk shit on the internet, who's the real tool?

  • this coming from an atreyu fan who probably just started listening to them. atreyu's dead whatever they wrote after their first full length is shit.

  • First off, great sweeps and overall better than what I can do right now on electric. But hahah it was really funny and I don't mean that in a way to be an asshole but like when you were struggling at 0:30 I couldn't even contain myself. were the vibrato's all side effects of those roids man? haahah okay I'm done good job =)

  • way better than what I could do. You can obviously shred man, and the sloppy parts, well you can tell you know what your doing enough to improvise. The thing is, a solo like that is perfect to begin with, and cant be made better. Good job though brother.

  • Terrible. Lay off the roids and quit shaving your pits you fucking homo. Learn how to vibrato better. And try to tune your guitar.

  • @ch847

    lol 1: why do i have to be taking steroids just because i'm not scrawny?

    2: i wasn't away that i shaved my arm pits?

    i know it must suck that you're fat and try to play shitty metal on an SG, but you don't have to take that frustration out on me, how about you take it out on your body and you go running?

  • wow dood you suck,, tool

  • cock boy your shit at guitar and your inside there is no need for a toque

  • cock boy? lol

    and what the hell's a toque?

    oh, and your not chopping wood in your video so there's no need for a flannel shirt.

  • not the worst

    i'd leave the improvising to paul waggoner though

  • ROIDSSSSS!!!!.....Nice job though.Sounds good!

  • good job man :)

    personally the only thing id say is dont be so violent on the vibrato.

    sweeps sounded sick :)

  • i postulate that all the shit talkers are doing so to hop onto the bandwagon of such.

    personally i enjoyed it, well aware that i will most likely get shit on for my comment but whatever, such is life, or maybe not considering that this is indeed youtube where queers become hardasses through the course of a minute and a half to post a comment.

    HAVE AT IT PEOPLE!!!

  • why is this a two stars??? i mean you messed up a few times but it wasnt that bad...it should be a three and a half...

  • He's got huge muscles, AND can shred guitar really well, I think you guys are all jealous because he can get more chicks than you guys can! Rock on man, you fucking rule!!!

  • @DevanTheMan

    Yep, that's definitely what it is; jealously of his physical appearance.

    Disregard the fact that he consistently misses notes left right and centre, plays out of key, plays something completely different at about 1:23, has a right hand technique that's painful to watch and vibratos everything for no reason. Sloppy would be an understatement.

  • I am just saying he doesn't need all this god damn criticism. I bet you're not a perfect guitar player, and if you think you are, I bet you're a pretty cocky guy. Sure he needs to work on it a little more, but its not that can't be touched up.

  • Firstly, why is everyone on youtube so god damn aggressive? Honestly it's like the place is populated with hormonal teenage boys.

  • Second, this is a lesson for all of youtube: Nothing is above criticism, regardless of whether or not I can do it. A restaurant critic probably can'y cook a brilliant soufflé, but they know what a good one tastes like. A book critic probably can't write a great novel, but they know what a great novel reads like. I can't play as fast as this guy yet, but I know what the solo is supposed to sound like and I know what is and isn't a good cover version.

  • Honestly, I see so many of these "WELL YOU CAN'T DO IT SO SHUT UP" comments, it's ridiculous.

    I'm no where near a perfect guitar player, and the only way I'm going to get better is by practising and through constructive criticism. So stop acting like this guy needs defending from anything; if he didn't play it particularly great, simply showering him with praise isn't going to achieve anything.

  • no one has showered me with any praise.

    i've only been showered with insult and people telling me to buy a shirt.. what exactly has that achieved?

  • I can one guy on the first page giving you a 5 star rating, not because of the quality of your video, but because other people are criticising you. Look, I don't care what shirt you're wearing and the people that comment about it are probably pre-pubescent kids with nothing better to do, which is typical of all of youtube, but the fact is, your cover had some major flaws.

  • Sure you've got some speed, and the sweeping sections weren't bad, but like so many other players it seems you've neglected so many other facets of your playing in order to focus on being faster. The slower sections at the beginning were quite out of time, there were quite a few missed notes and quite a few notes that were just wrong. What I recommend is that you practice those sections with a metronome, concentration on hitting the right note at the right time.

  • I know it sounds basic but that's what it takes. Being a fast player is great but it isn't everything. The very foundations of your playing should be your timing and your ability to play cleanly. Then you can factor these into your fast playing.

  • alright i'm about to just take down this video. it's getting reallly annoying.

    this is no where near an accurate representation of my playing. i'm not a btbam fan but i heard this solo and decided to learn it. it took me like 2 hours to learn and i posted it shortly afterward. i know i missed notes and made some up, i just didn't care. i didn't think people would be acting like this. i've seen far worse videos get nothing but positive feedback.

  • You did a good job man. SBT, I never seen someone so stubborn and post a bunch of bullshit like that. Like wow, I am appauled at what you said, like wow. He even just said he only played it for like 2 hours, there yah go, thats better than I can do in two hours, and better than most people commmenting on this.

  • Appalled? At what? My constructive criticism? My explanation of why I even bothered posting? Of all the crap this guy got for his shirt or whatever it was you're appalled by the one guy who tried to add a little perspective and constructive criticism?

  • If he's only practised it for two hours, fair enough. But maybe instead of weathering a barrage of insults about his shirt and getting cranky when his video doesn't get universal praise he should either state that it's rough and he only practised it for two hours at the start, or just not post the video up at all. And all this from the guy who's only comment was that he had huge muscles (irrelevant), shreds really well (debatable) and could pick up more chicks (incredibly childish).

  • dont do it...people get jealous...they expect perfection..they want it to be exactly like paul waggoner...

  • If he didn't want comments or criticism why post it up? If he doesn't like it when he gets negative comments (even helpful ones like I was trying to make), then don't post it up.

    This is why the youtube community is widely regarded as the most infantile hub of users on the internet. When you all grow up and stop patting yourselves on the back for applauding mediocrity I hope you can understand where I'm coming from.

  • alright bro, i uploaded this video to simply share it. even if i wanted criticism, telling me that i need to wear a shirt and saying that "YOU SUCK" doesn't help me in any way. and don't be trying to make it sound like everyone on youtube is so infantile and you're so mature. regardless of if you're responding with reason and civility or not, you're still responding. i know i wouldn't feel compelled to justify my actions to a bunch of children... so maybe you too have some growing up to do?

  • Perhaps so, there is a sort of inherent irony in the situation. But nevertheless, I have no gripe with you for uploading the video or for anything you've said; in fact you seem to be the only person with any sense about them. This is my first and last debate on a youtube comments page. I'd hoped that there could be at the very least a civil debate involvi
