Love Somebody (Rick Springfield with me playing guitar)

[2eelShmeal]

YEAH

Rick SpringShmeal ....

You go girl ... lol just kiddin I remember this shit.. I'd say 1981. ... Yep around then.

[lorryjay2009]

lol.....no other tabs on the song in google.........I'm trying to figure out the lead solo from watching your hands.......any chance of the tabs on just the lead solo, dude....

[TruthSurge]

@lorryjay2009 Well, I could tab it out but I'm busy working on some stuff. Gimme $10 and I'll make a vid just for you and slow down the solo reaaaal slow so you can see it. ? Reason is, I'm rather broke right now and I gotta be working on some paying stuff right now. If not, that's cool.  It's just the F shape then move that up 2 frets back and forth then the next position is the A bar shape across D, G and B strings.

[lorryjay2009]

Got any Tabs for the song, dude?

[TruthSurge]

@lorryjay2009 sorry. I don't use tabs. I just listen and figure it out. :( Maybe do a google search. I tuned my top string down a step and my whole guitar down a step so I'm playing it weird anyway.

[grandmajestic101]

Holly cow that was absolutely AMAZINGGGGGGG!!!!

[TruthSurge]

@grandmajestic101 thank ya!  I want to do some more guitar vids but just busy surviving.

[MetalCanyon]

Wonderful song and wonderful play of the guitar! Thanks for brightening up my day and keep it up!

[TruthSurge]

@MetalCanyon  thanks!

[Mikeg73070]

GREAT job....the solo rocked too!!

[TruthSurge]

@Mikeg73070  thank ya! I have some other tunes on here. some from my CD, some cover solos.

[Orthokevin]

One of the coolest unsung solos ever! I have tried forever to get that quick run down and your vid went a long way to helping me see it right. Thanks so much and great job!

[TruthSurge]

@Orthokevin thanks. yeah, Tim Pierce was just a melodic rock solo monster. The thing is actually easy except for the chicken pickin part at the very end. I still didn't nail it. :)

[TruthSurge]

@Orthokevin if you know anyone wanting to pay $ for any lessons or ideas, tell me! hahah not sure if it works over the net due to lag but anyway.

[CRAIGARRR]

Nice job!!

Awesome solo!!

[TruthSurge]

@CRAIGARRR thank ya!

Two thousand years of blind denial. You are following pale illusions. As you listen to the false preachers. You delight in this ignorant slavery. The enslavery that is chist. He is the ultimate deception of life. Adorning his empty words. Drown your mind his weakened holiness. The parasite of arrogance. Satan appears to halt this endless folly. Open your eyes and see the dark master. As he crushes your savior into the ground. The blood of christ washes along the shores of hell.

[abcabc1415]

@RobertBaral365 u scary motherfucker

[sp4zzer]

I strongly suggest you should consider edirol stuff instaed of the cheap m-audios. If you get the hi end Ms, thsta cool.

[TruthSurge]

@sp4zzer I can check it out. Just sort of broke w/o any real income right now so I may have to wait anyway. thanks for the tip.

[brianthemayan]

oh, very sweet man! Looks kinda like a Big Apple strat you are playing, but with different switching system... I can't tell... what's the axe?

[TruthSurge]

@brianthemayan thank ya. Around 1983 I put this together with EMG pickups. DiMarzio body, warmoth solid rosewood neck, floyd rose (original). Several years back I put DiMarzio pickups in and really like them. The EMGs had less 60 cycle hum but MORE high end noise. These are your standard dbl coils I wired with switches to get dbl, single and parallel modes for each plus a les paul type toggle switch. It's not a bad ride but not my dream axe by far. thank ya

[drunkasssteve]

@TeesByTruthSurge Actually, the only track I have up is just regular metal. I have a few death metal tracks, but the majority of my writing is just straight metal. I'll send it to the TruthSurge account in a few minutes.

[drunkasssteve]

@TeesByTruthSurge Agreed, and others tend to really like what I do, they just don't want to spend time learning it. I could send you a link to what little I have available online if interested.

[drunkasssteve]

@TeesByTruthSurge That is an issue I have with a lot of grindcore bands is the complete lack of musicianship. I took a year of music theory in college and it did wonders to my songwriting. Many musicians I've played with don't like to learn my songs because they are too complex (not hard, just a ton to remember). They'd often tell me horseshit like "it's not 'true' if you design a song like that" and "it's gotta come from the heart, not the mind" showing they don't understand the point.

[drunkasssteve]

@TeesByTruthSurge No longer in a band so I don't play very frequently anymore, sadly. I did pick up my guitar yesterday for the first time in months and I played with little struggle, so that's a good sign.

I read about your fingerpads a while back, that sucks ass. I was actually in a large anhydrous ammonia spill a while back and can no longer regain my calluses on my fingertips no matter how much I play. Thankfully it doesn't hurt playing like it did when I first started out.

[saxmanchiro]

Very nice, Truth. I was envisioning playing some nasty alto sax in the background but I was wearing a nice Hawaiian flower shirt with shades on. If you can't picture that image, it's understandable. peace my nondelusional compadre.

[AGodlessHeathen]

your a very talented person i have much respect for you stuff like this makes me miss my days working in the recording studio keep up the good work

[RayzerAtheistX2]

Where's my muscle shirt? Oh and my black parachute pants with all the zippers.

Rock on man.

[VCMates]

Rock N Roll never dies..

[PostSurgeOperative]

Man, you never fail to impress. You set a high standard, and you exceed it every time.

At first I was like, "yeah, I suppose this is cool," and then when you got to the solo I was like, "dude, that's some pretty sweet shred."

So do you play in a band that specializes in '80 dance music?

[kegs666]

Now, if only you would post a cover of dying fetus :) .... huzzah.

[TruthSurge]

@kegs666 is that a band? hehe I made up a good band name looong ago called Aborted Festus. That's a cool name. heheh Not sure what tune I'd like ta do next. Get A Job? hahahah

[drunkasssteve]

@TruthSurge Dying Fetus is good shit, technical death metal (arpeggio heavy). My death metal band in ND about a decade ago did have a song called Fetal Frenzy.

[TruthSurge]

@kegs666 How about "Your Treachery Will Die With You"? :) Although I prob couldn't pull off the arpeggio sweeps in there due to my finger problems. :( But man, those sweeps are clean.

[drunkasssteve]

@TruthSurge Origin has some killer arpeggios as well. The most recent album I have (my band actually opened for them as well a few years back) is Echoes of Decimation. It's crazy watching them playing fast low notes and then going immediately to higher placed arpeggios.

[ubuibiok]

great, thx...

[TruthSurge]

@ubuibiok thank ya
