Neo-Classical Guitar

[jdschmeltz]

Nice Job!!!

[smokadagonja23]

it looks like you know the guitar pretty well if thats all improvision...im about a step below this level of playing and i consider myself a fair guitar player. trust me i know what it takes to get there all these people talking shit just came from videos with greg harrison and john pettrucci lesson vids...they probably aint got shit on you especially 3 years later!

[shanawane9109]

R u ruff?

[gacwalker]

As it stands, pretty damn good. No need to compare to anyone else or match against whatever and pick out flaws like all the nay sayers. I prefer to pick out all the good things. NIce chune

[warlockdemon18]

good job man

[MrSpecre]

Man, no offense, but, how can you have those drums and that guitar and equipment like that, and at the same time being on that level of playing which is very unsecure and unfluid, if you know what I'm sain' ... It's like you've learned that song earlier that thay, no practise taken ...

[Joshguitar8442]

@MrSpecre My Dad and my entire family are musicians. I decided to get involved with it later on. This is a very old video and I was proud of it years back but now I use it as a checkpoint to see where I've come from it.

[MrSpecre]

@Joshguitar8442 Hum, sorry than :) I realised that when I loked on your channel :)

[lespaul457]

@MrSpecre until you post a video response with a more "fluid" and "secure" you can't post comments like that. 

[IbanezDaemon]

Pretty good stuff Josh. Try to ignore the negative comments from the bitter/jealous peeps. Some nice ideas and improv??? Check out Neoclassical Metal Forums if you can. If you post your material there you'll get a good reaction. I'm ad ADMIN on that site.

[camer138]

1:30 is cool, hopefully you have vibrato down now as its almost 3 years later. rock on man!

[guitorgy]

you know if i could figure out how to send you a message i would but holy shit this is just a joy to listen to! makes my day, especially at 2 minutes holy crap LOL seriously just too good! whoever you are you rule HAHAHAH

[guitorgy]

hahaha shit dude i dig it!

[kappaman431]

Neo-classical metal, it sounds the same as metal IMHO. my first time listening to it though

[TheKobybryant24]

good but boring for me ! 

[roge69charger]

BTW: What the Hell's an "Emo?"

[Twixgtx]

@roge69charger emotional: if you go to school, look for the people who wear black all the time, have long hair, look pale(not all the time), some wear make up, most are either very rich or very poor, and bddddddddtata(drum roll) THEY CUT THEM SELVES WITH WHATEVER SHARP THING THEY CAN FIND! and they share those things, so chances are, they have diseases like HIV and they are heavily anti social. To sum up everything, they have issues they display HUGE amounts of emotion over. they cry a lot too.

[roge69charger]

@Twixgtx Thank you , I see, Always learn something everyday.

Change the subject, You recall GGAllen? I saw him the day before he passed, On Houston St, NYC, Could'n't believe it. I never saw any performer look that bad!

[roge69charger]

Nice Playing Son, I studied Classical guitar over 40 yrs ago, With the later "Albert Valdes Blaine, And, You probably know of, Leon Atkinson, When he resided in New York, Now located in Spoken. Look up "Leon" Great Player for almost 60 yrs.

[FreezeVirus]

oh hamer guitar~i thought less people use this

[Adicone16040]

maybe will be good if u cut ur hair(just suggestion)

[AnarchisticLeper]

I thought this was pretty boring; your picking could be way more accurate on the faster parts and you should work on accenting. I also thought the tone was very weak.

[aaronxrotfl]

It's really hard to find a neo-classical guitar video without some guy playing so fast you don't get a thing.

[Neomaniak93]

Dude. This is great ! Do you have tabs for this?

[someweirdkid95]

hey man dont listen to the guys that say you suck, just keep rockin, you're pretty awesome

[MrCaliforniaScum]

I love your Guitar. Fuck what everyone says but this video made my day.

[FallensBlackouts]

That was sick man. Bends sounded just fine. and the vibrato too. Loved the back track. 5 stars man.

[bad4good100]

nice job dude and you dont look emo to me who made that shit up anyway i miss the 80ds guys & girls we all had long hair riped jeans and if you asked us somthing about rap we where like get lost niggza now thers emos and elmos world lol wiggers and punks are all gone its shight point is love the music

[mitsos90]

cool job bro ;)

[davidevanescence]

That is so cool:)

[dirtydonki]

Thi is just shit. Please, please nevr post again until you can actually play something properly,

[Schatje79]

@dirtydonki

The same could be said of envious morons who can't type properly. Never post again, thanks <3

[dirtydonki]

@Schatje79 What has my typing to do with this wankers shit playing?

.

So kindly go fuck yourself with a cactus.

[Schatje79]

@dirtydonki

The fact that you're a hypocritical bitchfist but I guess putting two and two is a strain for a tub like you.

I'll keep fucking your mom's burly bush. It's close enough <3

[dirtydonki]

@Schatje79 Nothing you have stated has anything to do with the FACT that this video is a load of crap. Performed by an incompetent wannabe. I state the facts and you hurl abuse at me. You are worse than pathetic.

.

As for my mum. She died of cancer in 2002. So thanks for your kind words. I think you have a very sick mind.

[Schatje79]

@dirtydonki

You said his playing his crap and he shouldn't post till he can play. All I did was the exact same thing you did to see if you'd catch the point. You demonstrated a horrible grasp of the English language and by your logic, should shut the fuck up. I know, I shouldn't have expected much from such a moron but I took a shot.

As for your mum, her being dead explains why it feels like a cactus. So, you're quite welcome, cupcake :)

[labizzarerie]

great!!!

[The7isbest]

How do you have alternate picking down, but you can't pull off vibrato at all? No offense, it's just a question.

[Joshguitar8442]

Vibrato was very difficult me at the time for what ever reason. I dunno. No Offense taken.

[AnnaAnnaYes]

@Joshguitar8442 You have very good technique,better than Jacqueline Mannering

you're using your whole left hand,not just a few fingers i've never seen that type of

Hamer,what model is it??. KEEP PLAYIN'!!!!!!!!!!

[genuinecowhide]

@The7isbest

Vibrato and alternate picking are totally different things? it's like saying LOL HOW CUM U CAN DO HAMMER ONS, BUT NOT SWEEP?????????

[bathwhoreE]

@The7isbest I know you Meant no offense, but Can you be any More Critical Seriously???????? Show Us your pull off vibrato.No offense.

[BrutalGrindCoreMetal]

God I hate you emo's.

[Joshguitar8442]

Wow there, BrutalGrindCoreMetal!!!

I'm no emo. Judging me on hair that goes down over my ears are we? Playing classical music?

Got I hate the unintelligent.... Something that you display oh so clearly.

[BrutalGrindCoreMetal]

Its just the actual style of you hair that makes you look like an emo. But its actually hard to see. Maybe you arent an emo. I apoligise. Emo's just piss me off.

[Joshguitar8442]

They do for me as well.

I wasn't offended or anything, I just pretended to be.

[BrutalGrindCoreMetal]

Well then Hurrah and Good will to all men!!!!! (Laughs maniacally)

[AllegedNewspaper]

@BrutalGrindCoreMetal you're a fucking poser, go back to the bike shop and play with your boss ''omggg metalocalypse im t00tally metal n0w guyz its cool"

[BrutalGrindCoreMetal]

@AllegedNewspaper

Eh? In what possible way Am I a poseur. You just made a statement backed up with absoloutly fuck all. I'm a poseur because I hate emo's? lol. Retard

[keeplosingmypicks]

@BrutalGrindCoreMetal Still no need to judge

[lilwhiteguy]

@BrutalGrindCoreMetal They can annoy me too but what fucking silly comments, sorry.

[f4u2]

@BrutalGrindCoreMetal tell me what the hell is wrong with emos? yesh i am 1. and i think you ain't know what emos are so shut the fuck up

[aberrancemusic]

@f4u2 lol,

your an idiot.

[LocustClock]

@BrutalGrindCoreMetal

His hair is not emo.

also, my left ear is bleeding

[RCCola339]

@BrutalGrindCoreMetal You best be trolling.

[ChainsawVsGod]

@RCCola339

That was my old account I made that comment on. I was a dumb little tard back then. Ignore it.

[RCCola339]

@ChainsawVsGod I was talking to the other guy.

[ChainsawVsGod]

@RCCola339

Didn't you read my comment? I said that was my old account I wrote that comment on. This is that guy.

[simpkins230495]

1:37 comment s'appelle cette descente ???

[KirkcaldyCunt]

first part sounds like Invencion no.13

[maxefjesdfjhse]

great job dude i was just wondering what scale you use?

[Joshguitar8442]

@maxefjesdfjhse

I mainly just use Major in this song. For the most part in the key of E.

[arfuswrinkledinks]

I like only using my left ear

[Joshguitar8442]

Yeah, I apologize about that. I burned off the song Mono and didn't realize that it muted the right ear...

Bothers me too...

[arfuswrinkledinks]

@Joshguitar8442 teehee

[AxonKaine]

Great job, man. It's nice to see someone that realizes that this style of music doesn't need to be a million miles an hour.

[brycemusicamazing]

yea speed isn't everything, good job man

[akronicmistake]

no man, Listen to jhonas. He's just giving constructive criticism. and imo, it'd sound really kool faster. and this is also a year ago so I'm sure you're much much better.

[jhonas43]

this song is nice but you need to practice much more if you wanna be recognized because your song is so weak into the neoclassical scene i mean in the eighties the neoclassical metal was the best music into the metal strem and people like malmsteen have done a very good stuff and your song would be great only if it were realized in the 50's or 40's when the music was definitely diferent

[Joshguitar8442]

My playing is pretty sloppy and static in this I know. Sadly Practicing more doesn't change the output of a video so I guess it's time for an update...

[bobsmith]

thats true man =P i mean this is almost a year old... i couldnt sweep pick a year ago

ive learnt sooo much theory also.

so yer bring out some more vids =)

[Joshguitar8442]

I'd love to tab it out for you guys if there was a software or something that would make it easier. That and if I remember the song.

[TAK808]

i believe there is a software that will do that but it will cost you ;)

nice job btw.

see speed isn't everything.

[TheAnonymousG]

Well there is a free alternative (I'm not a spammer) to guitar Pro called TuxGuitar, works like guitar pro and reads all guitar pro files, powertab and something else xD

Good job though, although I'm not into neo-classical I quite like this =)

[CreeCore94]

@Joshguitar8442 powertab tux guitar u kno all that jazz lol

[papasmurf530]

dude can you plz tab some of that lol i want to learn the sweeps and stuff for neo classical but i cant find the tabs:(

[EnjoiSkaterChu]

yes tabs please 5* by the way

[dasn333]

Hey man, that's awesome, did you tab this on guitar pro or power tab something ?

If yes, could you send it to me ? just mail me on my youtube acount.

Keep it up.

[Tyr360]

This is very impressive!

[xiiieternal]

Great composition man. My only suggestion is it seemed like you were a little off tempo at the time, but other than that, it was great.

[RomyNator]

Awesome !!

[adddywalters]

that was sick man, killer teqnique dude

[Supermanu15]

man!u just gave me a new idea of how to compose neo-classical songs...thanks a million dude...!!

[Joshguitar8442]

I'd love to hear it when your finished.

[keenmachine80]

did u record on pod 2.0, not dissing or nothing but recording on left and right channels has a better sound ;]

[Joshguitar8442]

No I did not.

There was something I obviously did wrong that put all the audio on the left ear.

[keenmachine80]

like i said no dissing, this is reallt good playing ;]

[Joshguitar8442]

I didn't take it to offense. I just just said, "No I did not" about your question if I recorded on to a Pod.

No Offense taken.

[Cdog122993]

maybe its cause i dont play but i thought it was amazing...i wish i could do that

[marquesjunior]

good playing

[kameltoe666]

no feeling at all!!!!

[Joshguitar8442]

I know. I tend to not show feeling when it is needed... I will improve on my next vid.

[EndingEscence]

Your name is kameltoe666, why in Satan's name would you care if he played with feeling? Who gives a damn, I liked it. That's all that matters. =D

It could be a bit more melodic though, that would be pretty tits.

[guitar91guitar]

the bends i seen sucked and didnt put in much emotion at all.. but your steccato style worked pretty well for you..

that being said, i found a few good bends, however for the most part, theyre over done in sequencial order PLUS they are over stretched and off the mark for a certain note :/ but i still like this ;)

[JBPURCELL]

That was awesome!

5 stars.

[kameltoe666]

learn to fucking bend!!

[maurorock445]

not too good, but is a good job =)

[Joshguitar8442]

No thanks but thank you

[Reaperoframen]

i enjoy your wordplay sir

[jakeshred]

i guess i'm the only one that thinks it's boring.

decent playing but not very good composition.

sorry.

[Joshguitar8442]

Nice try on your vids as well Jake....shred. =/

[dudeinjeans]

some sweeps would be nice to put in here, bit this is as beautiful as it is, 5 stars

[Venture4life222]

3:05-3:15 madness!!...hela clean ass sound...sick bro..

[JezuzofDoomlolxxx]

dude this was beautiful

[respecttheskull]

lol I like how you make it look like your playing slow...I don't know how your doing it but it's real funny cuz I know that alot of that isn't exactly slow lol

[TheCanadianGuitarist]

Pull-offs

Hammer-ons

Sweeping

[Tockiro]

very good

[TamashiiNoKyo]

It's great ^-^~

so i like it really much ^-^~

one favurit more XD

[robibm2003]

Very nicely done.

[animeka]

Just read your comments :) That answered my question!

[animeka]

That's good! Your composition?

[Steveman1981]

5 Star playing!!!! But you got to tell me.... is Classical Octopus a play on the words "Classical" and "Opus"....or is just a Satriani type funny name?

[Joshguitar8442]

That Reply from Manicf123 was me. I was on my friends account and wasn't aware of it.

Just saying to clear up any confusion.
