Root beer rag on guitar by Cheezie

[jasonminier82]

This kicks! You are a prodigy!

[LaPavoniMac]

Dude this is so awesome! I love the sound you've got coming out of your guitar! What kind is it? Looks like a Les Paul and a Jazz Master mixed kinda. :P haha

[caulinrocker1]

show me tabs PLEEEEASE!! ive not been playing long but i REEALLY wanna learn to do that

[FinkChrist]

As a fellow guitar player, I have to tell you that you've blown my fucking mind! This is so cool!!

[MrBeaufingers]

I'm playing this for my piano exam... I thought I was doing well until I heard this :(

[maxayr]

Francamente..... Increible !!!!! Te Felicito !!!!!

[FanTCband]

Amazing!

I played that song many years ago on piano, did't know it was possible to play on guitar, till now. Sounds great, could you play the intro an octave higher with your left hand ? If that's possible it sounds even better, i think. How long did it took you to play this? I also play a little bit guitar so I know what I'm talking about.

[eehaweehaw]

Absolutely brilliant, well done!

[tomc9963]

Dude, the way you play root beer rag is unbelievably amazing. i've been playing guitar for about 20 years and wouldn't be able to even come close to that. its absolutely incredible, keep up the good work and post some more soon!!!!

[Cheezie01]

@tomc9963

Thankx, for your kind words ;-)

[thegermx18]

wow i am truely impressed and if you read these comments ever please make an instructional video as to how to play this

[maphi913]

jou are great

[jgelhaar]

Sounds great! Never heard this on guitar... (Grew up playing this on piano). What's your connection to "Steve Lukather"? - i.e. you have it listed it in the tags and have the poster behind you. I played a gig with a guitarist at the Greeley Stampede on July 4th who is friends with him...

[Cheezie01]

@jgelhaar

When I was a kid, I saw the Video "Toto live in Paris", where he played

Little Wing. That changed my life. From that day on I am a fan.

Regards Cheezie

[AlligatorJack01]

[TheGiantPony1]

Damn! I'm a HUGE Billy Joel fan, and you rocked that song!

[Cheezie01]

@TheGiantPony1

Thanks! ;-)

[jasonminier82]

That is quite nice. never heard it done this way. You definitely owned it!

[churkepurche]

briliant! quite hard to figure out the notes, aye? :)

[owlet1963]

FIVE hard earned stars! Ok. the sound IS subject to mprovement, BUT... This piece of music is a real challenge on the piano already, let alone on the guitar, PLUS, I normally am no fan of THIS kind of guitars. you managed to do a really fine job , respect!

[jacky99td]

I do think he meant Billy Joel, not just some random guy called Billy from YT.

Awesome job man! I wish I could play that as good as you.

[Cheezie01]

HI, its the only Billy Joel Song I play. I did it because, as far as I know nobody else did it before on guitar. My f***ing camera is just recording 3 min, so I played till the end

but its not recorded.

I will make a CD this summer where you can find the whole song.

Regards

Cheezie
