[MaxREINL]

hey steve can you post a video teaching how to play we three king?

[roxaskeybladebearer]

what i wouldn't give to have u as my guitar teacher :)

[theyarefollowingme]

All my friends that I hang out with frequently, we all play guitar. One of them only started recently, though. Anyway, we're all pretty rubbish at guitar Hero, it's way harder than learning real guitar.

[CajunCrazyChiz]

HOLY SHIT!

[GirlPlayer96]

OMG you are a god



[XXZOMBIESSUCKXX]

You vs Joe Perry,hm you two would not lose it would be like you two are my favorite best guitar players though I probably have more fvorite guitar players but I haven't seen them yet.You and Joe Perry are so far my favorite guitar players,wish you were in a band with Joe Perry then if you were you guys would have the best guitar sounds EVER.

[MultiMegadante]

steve where can i found the tabs?

[KornGP47]

Oh, GOD. This is my favourite song! This is fkn epic and so is the solo!

Recently been trying to do the solo and still practicing it. Cx

[MySwagIsNerdy]

Bro, you are such an inspiration to me. You, in my opinion, are the best guitar player out there.

[GabrielDosSantos98]

Quem acha que o Steve Ouimette é o melhor do mundo dá um jóia.

[Kenit3]

damn dude your a god this is amazing haha

[homerata92]

Steve, tell me. You are so good, but why are you not in a band? It would be fantastic if you will play in a rock band and show all that you can do ;)

[justinbisar71]

now thats a real guitar heroo!!!!

[HellOnEarth090903]

How long did it take you to compose this cover?

[XXZOMBIESSUCKXX]

Now I can enjoy this song with out any mess ups thank god because I really like this song.

[scottslayer2]

who can dislike this????

19 people!

[IthinkitsaDanny]

Looks like he has

*Sunglasses*

Sleight Of Hand

[ClaudioProductionsX]

steve, who was your inspiration?

[SteveOuimette]

@ClaudioProductionsX Early on it was Ace Frehley, Van Halen, Randy Rhoads. After that it was Yngwie and a variety of other shredders. After that I got into completely different, non-guitar composers like Bartok, Beethoven, etc. Varied for sure

[mrbullettothebrains]

how long did it take you to get so good im getting gutar lessons for a year and i can only play like 9 songs and most are greenday lol

[Wongasm]

@mrbullettothebrains It takes a while man, I've been playing for 6 years and I'm no-where near this guy

[MixTheMetal]

Love the Fretwork.

[MrDragon1324]

I Wonder How Chuck Norris Would Cover That.....LMAO

You Play Brilliantly BTW....Terrific Job

[vallkornrunnings]

[DfromtheSCC]

You sir, are a god among men. I would love to see/hear a rocked out version of the themes to either star wars or lotr from you or something like that... Please?

[ticonskiracer781]

hey steve, who is your biggest influence?

[Flametalon163]

* FAVES *

[ArseNick5]

[TheDroidKing]

Hey Steve, how many guitar hero's have you recorded songs for? :3

[pigeonhawkTV]

HOW DO YOU PLAY THE SOLO ON THIS SONG!!!! i have figured out most of the song but at the solo im like :O ...... any pointers you can give me to figure it out??? it would help alot:O

[xAOxAtomicxbobxlive]

dude can you do a tutorial on just the first part my dad wold sing that and it would mean alot bro

[Team7Fallen]

When was thelast moment of me being clueless about real guitar playing was about 3:38 seconds ago xD

[Orrin29]

all GH3 players: Learn to play real guitar and support metal/rock world! don't just sit and watch! take guitar and roll like this awesome man!

[gilgz]

Hey steve rhino u can hook me up with the taba got this song the obra online dont seem to sound as good

[blitzguitar]

i slow down my sweeping and i try to look at my hands... but it still doesn't seem to make a difference i guess i'll never be able to sweep pick like steve :(

[joshzelmer]

2:32 is just AMAZING! Great vid Steve!

[prettytaru]

i wonder.... is it harder to play with a real guitar, or to play with the guitars of GH? lol =X When i see this video, it looks easier with a real one lol =3

[SteveOuimette]

@prettytaru Opposite for me! The guitar is easier than the controller...but then again I haven't spent 32 years practicing on the buttons:-)

[prettytaru]

@SteveOuimette Ahah i see ^^ thanks :)

[Asian1122334455]

@SteveOuimette it took me me couple minutes to get use to the buttons lol

[XXZOMBIESSUCKXX]

@SteveOuimette You spent 32 years practicing the notes,wow thats a long time.

[123runaround]

@prettytaru It's DEFINITELY harder on real guitar, his annotation of notes, cleanness, accuracy. All things that take years to to master to produce the note from the guitar perfectly. All you do with guitar hero is just hold down a button and all of that is done for you.

[uy342]

@123runaround but, bots can't even do it on GH3

[Matt14H]

Steve you are so awesome :D

[Alejandrodemontana]

you sir are a legend

[Epikcs]

does anyone kow the fist muted chord of the song... its on acoustic and i cant figure it out....

[djmintyfreshful]

This was the first song I got on my iPod... I love this song. Thank you GH3 DLC.

[fcasdfful]

this song is bad to the fuckin bone man



[dungtom26]

damn I love THIS song... So Good

[mlmiraglia99]

I only got to 0:28 xD

[jannajaytee]

Somehow, this song makes me cry. I get so emo listening to this. Seriously

[MrPyroguy1]

You are so fucking awesome dude!

[8Fsanabria8]

silly little plastic guitars are for children.. load up the six string.. let's get this over with

[Scooter4105]

Mind fucked

[ThatOneCrazyDude02]

dude!!! i have that same guitar, well at least it looks like it! Squire Bullet by Fender?

[Reiyichi]

also, yes, that song WOULD be impossible on a GH controller, as buttons are a very poor substitute of strings, if you were to use one of those new STRINGED controllers that they got coming out with it, and were oh say, Steve Ouimette himself then yes, it would be much easier...

[Reiyichi]

okay, I searched this after I saw that kid try to play the "worlds most impossible song on GH3" totally thinking that kid just put some random notes in over a real song on a custom program that adds notes to GH, so I start watching this and think to myself at the beginning, yup, totally embellished, then the song picked up and I saw Steve's fingers just dance on that fretboard and had my mind blown... you sir, are a God of Guitar Gods... and I cannot believe I have never heard of you till now...

[mitkof13]

Hi Steve! I have a question for you-how long did it take you to learn guitar? Were you like a prodegy? Did you teach yourself? Did you take lessons? I think you're just amazing, and my guitar teacher is teaching me by ear and not by music sheets, how do you play? By instinct? Do you write your own stuff?

Sorry on the overload of questions....I guess it was more than one lol (;

Love you playing your guitar you super human, you! ;D

[GuitarzeroX7]

please make a tutorial for this...or at least put tabs for this

[Pancakez4every1]

2:05 yikes



[ISerialComix]

steve ouimette vs slash = win steve ouimette

[linus573]

Just came to say...I discovered that specific tune from GH3 videos really recently and finally found out who you were.You're just too awesome, and this leaves me speechless. ahoy a legend!

With all the admiration from a new fan.

[Sandrainvento]

Steve please play The Devil When Dow To Georgia (put a clip of u)

[hooligun76]

hey i like to buy guitar and start learning . which should i choose ? is there a type of guitar good for beginners ?

[ShadowsOfLite]

Silly Steve your fingers are way to fast for your camera

[MckeeAlex]

steve i want to know if you could give me a spread sheet for this song

[AJs209TV]

Did you do The devil went down to georgia?? On GH3

[SteveOuimette]

@AJs209TV I did, yep.

[AJs209TV]

Are you the guy that did devil went down to georgia on GUITAR HERO 3?

[MegaSquadala]

so Steve, have you ever got 100% on your own song, on the highest difficulty? if so, how long did it take? ^-^

[SteveOuimette]

@MegaSquadala No never! I'm terrible at Guitar Hero and it's always embarrassing when I try to play against anyone. The buttons vs strings and frets is hard for me to work out. Sad truth...

[NateZebraManDingoC]

@SteveOuimette lol i have the same problem my brain tries to relate the colors to strings that arent there as they move left to right, its utterly confusing when i try, however given some time, practice and ALOT of nasty distortion i could probably fake my way through most of this arrangement lmao, GREAT work man this is really rather impressive, you rip bro!

[Ausaini17]

It's like your pinky is possessed!

[asia45429]

That part at 1:53 was sick!

[Bottleshark01]

so you are the mastermind behind this song? its fucking amazing, you are very talented, but i guess you knew that already. Thank you for this music.

[FlorianTotal]

:O Holy shit

[ChrisHansenPlague]

When did Jesus Christ come back?

[jesterjunkdog]

[mjhe23de]

[youdontmeswitdazohan]

[rammsteinTOtheMAX]

[WolfyPaaaul]

[connieb48]

how are you not rich and famous?

[rockstix]

legend, I wish steve was in my band

[Hello199809]

Hey Steve, I got a question.

So i'm trying to play this song, but how do I switch strings while speed picking?

I mean starting at 0:28 , how you speed pick then switch strings really fast?

Every time I try to do that, I end up picking the string im trying to switch from.

plz help?

[SteveOuimette]

@Hello199809 Hey there, good question. It's all about slowing your playing WAY down and working on the picking from string to string. Worst thing you can do is try to play faster than your hands want to. Slow it down and watch your picking hand and see what movement works best, then practice it and slowly speed up. It takes time to get accuracy like that but patience is your friend!

[mjhe23de]

@Hello199809 dude try learing hop to sweep pick much more easier

[JoshyMaxwell]

Chuck Norris plays this as a lullaby for his kids.

[harrysad1]

i found this so amazing.. i made my own bass tune up just 4 this song

[NintendoLenka]

[MrSlimchips]

[effoff456]

TABS PLEASE!!!!!!!!

[niback28]

@SteveOuimette with all of your guitar playing, do the neighbors ever complain?

[Destroyed666Doom]

He's so fast we can't even see his fingers o.0

[KyogresWrath]

Brilliant, but the longer i play my guitar the less this amazes me and becomes more just like theory in my head :P When i get better at theory and my fretboard, i will be doing this too. Thats the dream anyway :)

[SteveOuimette]

@KyogresWrath Good for you man, I hear you. As we learn more about the instrument and get more proficient things of a technical nature become more normal. At that point it has to be about the music, which is the point in the first place. Speed is just one tool. Kinda like a magician. If he saws the lady in half to start the show, where does he go from there? Has to be an all-inclusive deal. Nice observation.

[KyogresWrath]

@SteveOuimette One day, Steve, I will be as known as you.. And we will have a guitar battle! Hahaha

[MoneyOvaBitchezzzz]

@SteveOuimette Man i love ur guitar playin, i try myself, and im like ,ERRRRRR i cant get rite lol, any advice?

[vdsy75]

[SteveOuimette]

@vdsy75 I do still endorse Godin guitars. This video was made previous to the endorsement but I still do have a lot of other guitars that I use.

[jaw2floor]

You are a God
