Playing "United States" - "The Smashing Pumpkins" Zeitgeist

[etgregoire]

i'm only hearing lounge music too. this is all kind of hilarious... 

[thedeadserv]

@etgregoire yah. sadly, youtube's to blame.

[willmasahiro]

All I hear is lobby-style music. somewhat surreal.

[thedeadserv]

@willmasahiro it's just here to have people pissed at YT for taking this off.

[Paulaum1]

Fokin Google screwed up with Youtube when they bought it. When those chinese ppl owned it videos where never fucked bc of labels faggots

[gffrycole]

dooode this is sooo badass! :D

[thedeadserv]

uh, dude, how so???

[gffrycole]

think about it...it replaced the sound of the song with jazzy stuff >:]

[Carnane]

Is it weird that I'm getting Lounge Music instead?

[thedeadserv]

there should be an info somewhere related on how their label is such a bitch that they didn't allow this video to be up ....

[lethe2008]

the atmosphere inside this room is just great...

[thedeadserv]

yes it is! hehe!

[Dohdk]

I like it, very good... and what a sweet song!:)

[thedeadserv]

oh, sorry for the late reply! glad you liked it! thanks!

[snafuedem]

oh yeah I cannot figure out the end, so if you decide to post a lesson GO OVER THE END!!! Keep rocking. I hope your neighbors like smashing pumpkins.

[thedeadserv]

Oh, lol. They don't like TSP. They're mostly african to the core, unlike me... lol!

Luckly, I don't give a ratz ass!LOL! I just rock on and getz my groove on!

Thanks for the comment, and make sure you share your progress on the guitar with us! I'd like to see you rock this out!

Best of luck learning this and ROCK ON!!!

[snafuedem]

Well I would have watched that even if you were nakad.....ok maybe not nakad, but god damn you killed it man. Finally someone who covered the song and put some soul into it. I just started playing guitar a few months ago and learned this song on an acoustic. Yeah I know its not as badass, but it's still fun to play. You do the intro completely different than anyone else or tabs Ive seen. Could you post a lesson on the song. PAPAPAPA PLEAAAASE! GREAT JOB!

[thedeadserv]

Okay, first of all, LMAO!

I'm glad you liked it. And dude, acoustic or whatever, this song simply kicks ass!

It's not surprising that mine's different cuz I don't use tabs. I ripp by ear. And considering this (like 90% of TSP songs) has a two guitar arrangement. So I kinda play bits of both guitars, and sometimes try to do both at the same time heheh!

I'd like to do the lesson, but I can barely spend time on this. The little I have is for the requests I get. sorry but it's not likely.

[Sharpster7]

i, for one, am glad you are not wearing a shirt.

[thedeadserv]

LOl! Dude... that's a bit disturbing coming from a guy... lol! Flattering, but still... yeah disturbing. LMAO!

Well, I hope you liked the playing too!!

BTW, kewl videos on your channel! You play and sing real good! Keep it up!

Thanks for commenting! ROCK ON!!!

[crashcarstar]

Put on an effin' shirt.

[thedeadserv]

shit man! it was hot!!! LOL! you may not see up close but I was sweating like shit! LOL! it was still summer here and it was night....

so, shirtless dude apart, you like thiz or whah?

[08L1V10N]

nice looking/sounding guitar! How much did it cost?

[thedeadserv]

thnkx.

huh.. dunno... I bought it from a friend.

I think it goes around 500/700€(aprox the same in dls).

I honestly don't recommend it for a beginner. its quite hard to play cuz it has a crazy ballance and its heavy as hell. still, I'm quite fond of it.

ya like the vid?

[Sharpster7]

I WANT THAT GUITAR!!!!!

[lefty5496]

thx bro......

SP for life

[thedeadserv]

thnkx!

[stevemv69]

your neighbours must love you!

where did you ge the tab?

[thedeadserv]

heheheh! you're the second guy that says that to me lol! or is this the second time you say this? lol! can't tell with all the comments on my vids lol!

I didn't get the tabs. I only used tabs in like, the first year I was learning guitar. From that point on I learned things on my own, my way.

Anywho. use the vid as a reference.

Thnkx for commenting and ROCK ON!!!

[stevemv69]

how do you play the outro section i can't seem to get tit right

[thedeadserv]

hm... it ain't like I got it tabbed down... sorry... its quite simple. mostly octaves, and good timing.

The video and this is the best I can do for you. I'd record a learnable version but I don't have my gear with me. Good luck and ROCK ON!!!

[Sharpster7]

awesome. BTW, if I didn't say that in any of my other comments.

[thedeadserv]

LOL! Now I read this... glad you liked it!!! Again, thnks for commenting!!!

[methxc]

good job man.

[thedeadserv]

thnx man!

[J0NNO]

hey hey.

the guitar you're playing this on, I'm thinking is the Gibson X-plorer, the guitar I'm wanting to get as my second electric, and in that colour, good choice. was just wondering, how does this handle tuning like this and lower? because it sounded really good here. what do you think of it? think it'd be a good choice?

[J0NNO]

and great playing by the way, nice touch with the harmonics at the end

[thedeadserv]

thnkx dood! LOL! in the end they felt kinda weird. I only liked the last harmonic... lol.

thnkx for commenting.

good luck on your new guitar. xplorer is a good choice if you're used to handling them.

ROCK ON!!!

[thedeadserv]

hey yourself. hehe.

hm... she's a good companion, no doubt there. I love its sound cuz it feels nothing like a caster(wich I kinda hate). but... the guitar is massive. at the begining its hard to play cuz the weight isn't very balanced and the arm tends to aim down. if you let go of the arm, it'll aim down like 45 degrees. In order to get a good sound In lower tunings ticker settings will do, as they did here. oh. the Gothic model of Explorer is way cooler I think.

[moeller2010]

nice job

[thedeadserv]

heh. thnkx dood!
