[dpnose]

is hard to learn this ?

[GlitchMasterz]

may i haz ur hands and guitar pleaz?:D

did u learn by ear or tabs?? i'm gonna learn that - it's one o my life goals that i've gotta achieve before death!!!!

[stanejug]

Good.

[dsargent724]

Excellent job man. Nuno has impeccable rhythm even on runs like that and you nailed it. Wish you would have included the clean tapping at the very beginning! Try learning the tap section to "Too much of a good thing (wheres the hook?) by nuno.

[ArKaNgEl7734]

Try Van Halen?

[Guitarmajster]

very VERY NICE!

i enjoy the tone and that you played the tapping part so tight!

[skullplayer]

Work on that bar flutter part and I'll give you ten stars! Fantastic job on learning that you have very clean technique. 5 stars and who ever votes otherwise is just jealous, heck I'm jealous cause you got some fast chops. ;)

[tacoshoes]

holy shit!

[theEVHfan]

SICK PLAYING MAN!!! five fuckin stars dude rock on!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[soldano72]

Hi Ian! What about swedish guitarist John Norum. For e.g Eternal flame from his solo album Total Control .. I would be mighty impressed if you can do that one..

Mike

[Muton0]

Dude thats awesome!

Plus, it looks like you have Steve Vai's guitar!

[iamttam]

OMFG!!!!!!!More Than Words

[xermen]

Wow, thats pretty insane. Could you add in the acoustic intro as well?

[ivorlongshot]

Love the beginning, kudos for leaving it in mate. Sweet shred, just as good as Nuno plays it Live.

[dneconchasumadre]

PERFECT MAN , PERFECT , GREAT JOB !

[eddybaby167]

That is amazing. I've loved extreme since day one.

[GoodSpeedRocks]

f'n awesome! great job :)

[dikinuface]

nice

[Toolshed76]

It's those Evo pick-ups, they got some killer output!

[danjoob10]

easily the best version of this on youtube.

[kie993]

How are you doin the openin dive bomb type thing?

[b0Re]

harmonic + disto + whammy

[al337h4x]

Where's the harmonic at though?

[MattMozart]

pinch harmonic im guessin.. 8th fret

[Toolshed76]

look up "harmonic sqeels by dimebag darrel". He was a master and gives a lesson here on youtube

[komoru]

that was killer, bro

[iGuitarWith]

I really am loving the sound of this, Great Job Ian.

[fretworx]

Best I've seen on this solo - great job!

[19lionheart90]

congratulations,really

[pjc5150]

Love the intro, Hahaha!

Amazing Ian. You make it look easy.

[GutyGuitar]

Fantastic!!!

[LANX93]

Wow, fantastic.

[acgorospe17]

how about speed lives by michael angelo batio... just a suggestion

[Manchild006]

jackass, thats too much for almost anyone to play. your just mean.

and jealous, maybe?

im kidding

[acgorospe17]

haha well obviously he's good enough to play it.

[Manchild006]

damn, that was almost a year ago.

I sucked at guitar back then

Hell I can play most of THAT now.

I'm sure he can destroy that song.

[Hatschibu15]

Ohoh very good sound .. :)

[Kanesconscience]

Most impressive young man! Great tone, clean and precise. What kind of wah pedal are you using?

[ianlaird]

Its a morley wah pedal. Actually the full name is a morley bad horsie 2 wah pedal. The Steve Vai signature one. Its great!!

[tyrone171174]

fucking speechless...brilliant!...

[emanuelmiglio]

In the first part do you legato or alternate pick? because it's too hard for me to alternate pick on a two note per string pattern. Is that a Jem Jr?

Dude you rock, keep it on

[ianlaird]

Its kind of mainly legato, its hard to say exactly which notes are picked but don't worry, I definately don't pick every single note, so you can relax

:)

Ian

[imbetterthanyou07]

Very Nice.

Extreme is so brutal.

[BCVMetal316]

That was definitely insane!! Love the guitar, and your tone is totally awesome. Incredible playing dude, keep it up!

[rockandrolleveryday]

you should DEFINITELY play "he man woman hater." that would be bad ass.

[ianlaird]

[ianlaird]

I honestly don't have time dude, but I just typed in "Extreme mutha Transcription" into google and it came up with at least 4 so check them out.

Rock on

[MATTMANX1987]

aight man thnx. this is my favorite song. at least by extreme.is it hard. ive ovly been playin 4 months. i can finger tap really good though. idk im ok. definatly not as good as u lol.

[mroskams]

that was awesome nice one. just out of interest are you picking the first bit (after the tremolo / feedback) or hammering and pulling?

[ianlaird]

mostly hammer ons and pull offs, if you use plenty of gain, and the right amount of treble and presence you'll get that wonderful percussive sound, just like Nuno, as though you are picking every note

Rock On

[Poldo77miticu]

Great job!!! you'r sound is very good...could you tell me something abaunt your setup?

[ianlaird]

Yeah sure its pretty simple, all sounds come from a Line6 Pod XT. This is rounted straight into the pc and recorded.

#:)

[gasman5150]

that was great mate, thats one of my all time favorite intros and you nailed it !!

[Explosive184]

thats awesome dude you should really try on the flight of the wounded bumblebee( its the intro to the he man woman hater song)

[YTubeAdmin01]

[g15rage]

[soxeyer]

[ianlaird]

Hey folks, glad you are all liking this!! More Extreme coming very soon!!

Rock on:)

[mr6uldv8]

cool. wounded bee!! BTW, loved your Christmas song. awesome.

[EdibleApeMan0790]

Dude, you are by far the greatest guitarist I have ever seen (aside from Nuno lol). I LOVE your style, it just amazes me how cleanly you play everything. You got it note for note. How'd you learn it? I'm dying to learn it, but I cant find any good tabs. Thanks, and keep postin' those vids! Rock on!

[ianlaird]

Thanks again dude

Peace

:)

[ianlaird]

Oh, I think I orignally learnt it from a magazine. Guitar techniques perhaps. Can't really remember. Might post it played very slow so people can learn it.

[spicy321]

If you're still looking, look for the Jan '90 issue of Guitar For the Practicing Musician on Ebay. It has the whole thing.

[Bigo383]

Finally!!! You messed up!LOL Maybe you are human afterall. Great playing man. I've been checking out your vids, and besides loving your playing, I'm also diggin the Pod! Christmas just around the corner........Hmmmmm

[DavidGerd]

Nuno is my favorite player, and I have seen all of your videos and I just have to say you are fantastic. Keep up the great work. Extreme have a new album in 08 if you didn't know.

[ianlaird]

Thanks a lot. yeah I've been on their myspace site and sure enough, it says new album 08! Fantastic!!!

Rock on

[nunonair]

awesome!!

[CarmenLaMime]

wuuoooooo bestial!

[enzothescorpion]

fucking awesome ! please accept my freind invite !

[koakid58]

check out... nuno betencourt mutha intro

hes got you note for note by your sound is PERFECT! So good to hear!

[koakid58]

Sooooo dope !!!! I will sing and drum it! Lets get a band together.

[sprintjumper]

Mate you are great at guitar. Is that a steve vai guitar? (message me)

[iwantagoodnameplease]

Excellent stuff!

It's a pity you didn't play the next riff after that, it's a great one!

[ianlaird]

You mean the drop D main riff? Yeah its cool!

:)

[komoru]

Jesus that is one killer job man!

[ianlaird]

Thanks buddy

:)

[BillyWolfman]

amazing dude!! Well done.

[misterscary505]

Awesome job Ian! It's so cool to see young guys still shredding the good stuff. Question: your sound was perfect Nuno ... what preamp and processors are you using (ADA MP-1? .. what delay?) .. it sounded sweet!

[ianlaird]

Thanks mate. Lots of people ask about the sound. Everything you hear comes entirely from a line 6 pod xt. No amp, just the guitar straight into the pod, and straight into my PC. simple as that. It does the rest. Well worth buying. They're not too expensive these days either.

Rock on

[ianlaird]

Thanks for the comments everybody! Glad you are liking this!

[Estepistheman]

That's fucking wicked...nice JEM by the way.

[madmatt6891]

sick

[Coerlin]

Holy sh!t man, that's like listening to the original!

[ice9001]

Do the whole song man . love that opening drop d riff . Nice playing again mate .

[416street]

dude ibanez jem

nice

i wanted to get the restige

[ianlaird]

Yeah i've got a prestige, rg 2550e its great. I actually like it better than this one. Rock on

[METMAN92towhoknows]

thats what i want but the most money ive ever seen at one time is 600 and that gets you no where in the guitar world... unless you buy an ltd WHICH I WONT

[troyponce]

I still say that nobody other than Vai himself should be playing a JEM, as a matter of principle. Sick vid though.

[nsen74]

Wow, kids these days.

[puponhaporra]

Great job, man!

[soulfullsolos]

awesome can u do midnight express n he man woman hater?

[ianlaird]

Yeah, midnight express is on my list as a few people have already asked! I love that tune!! It will be on here soon! Peace

[soulfullsolos]

on this intro is there feedback involved as well as the wammy bar

[ianlaird]

yes on the original, lots of it! but not here on my version, just loads of gain and then a natural harmonic played on the G string at the 5th fret if I remember right.

[sebarasco]

perfect, good work

[IdigN1]

Like I said to user bluenuno as he played this, you gotta have the crying baby there too! But well done even without it, really well!

[ianlaird]

yeah true, more authentic! : )

[aiggis]

not bad, lord knows I can't do it.

[mifski]

very cool man. please tell me what effect ur using. is it wah??

[ianlaird]

it sure is it's a morley bad horsie2 using the contour setting.

[n4cern4cer]

Very nice. Great stuff. Look forward to more Extreme stuff!

[baeld004]

that's excellent playing man, nice guitar too by the way! keep up the good work!

[dockan77]

kick ass! Can't wait until you do "money in god we trust" by extreme! good job!
