Guitar Practice - Blue Collar Man - STYX

[t3hPoundcake]

Thats a cool tone.

[mcconnachiea]

Wooooo!! 3 years of youtube vids ^^

Congrats mate :D

[haltrman93]

Little bit of Loverboy there in the beginning lol. But seriously that was just what i was looking for. At 1:07, 1:25, 1:55 and 3:10, I have no clue what you're playing but I can't seem to find anywhere (on the internet) those parts of the song. Most Blue Collar Man tabs are shit but this was perfect dude. If you found any of this on a tab please tell me. I've been dying to finish this entire song. Great job btw =D

[spiddlestix]

i love those little tastefull harmonics - not over dome just frickin' tastefull - you have a really nice smooth style -

[Sheogorath2008]

Sorry for my english, I am not good as englishman

[Sheogorath2008]

Telecaster sounds muuuuuch better

[creepingnet]

Of course it does, this was one of my first videos I ever made for youtube. I had a crappier camera, slower PC, less as quality software.....my how far I've come.

[Sheogorath2008]

No no, I am not that dumb for listening guitar by videos! I tested it by myself, it sounds great, but not that great like Telecaster (Highway). It loss sustaine and mids, which are so need in blues and jazz. Yeah, jag stang made for jazz, but telecaster highway much better

[ten8goa]

im pattin' myself on the back :)

[ten8goa]

Turn Me Loose at the beginning?

[creepingnet]

And I thought I was the only one to get that. Back then I had a SoundBlaster 128 sound card in my computer, which allowed me to record guitar and music cd's simultaneously using the Windows mixer, and I had to select tracks using the play button on my DVD-ROM drive. I had Turn Me Loose on there, but I never got around to making a video of me playing it, except a few short excripts in my Loverboy/Homebrew Strat video.

[kensamuel]

you're alright with me bro. the tapping is cool. can you do the solo on reo's " back on the road again" plllllllllllllllllllllllllllll­lleeeeeze !!!!

[fly124]

creepingnet, I have been trying to post a video response to this all week, and they keep getting rejected. Why? Are you that afraid to let these people see someone else do this song? Grow some balls!

[creepingnet]

Oops, my bad, turns out the notification was in my spam folder, which I don't understand since youtube e-mails are NOT on my Yahoo spam list, go figure...

[fly124]

I have a video that IS in sync with the song..please watch. And it should be a video response.

[szily12]

he isn't playing, he is slower than the music, so its not so cool ^^

[fenderwatkins1992]

he might not be playing but he's got the right chords

[pntbllwiz21]

i dont think hes really playing

[j202020]

u should be practicing harder guitar riffs

[creepingnet]

Actually, I play other stuff, when this was recorded, I was only working with backing tracks. Check out my other vids.

[RomancingXaga]

good job, you deserve the honor of me commenting you.

[alexkerhead]

Sounds good!

It doesn't matter if it is out of sync, anyone who knows anything about music can watch your hands and know your are playing.

[clippord]

Is that guitar pro in tha background? ha

[creepingnet]

Naw, Midi File transformed in MP3, then re-recorded onto a CD-R as a music cd, and played back via the play button on my DVD-ROM Drive.

[clippord]

oh, ic. cool, and nice job

[mak1965]

Can't you play something original STOP COPYING SHIT

[renocalifornia]

creepingnet rox!!!

[microkoe]

Nice listen

[noobzrule]

i know your not really playing so give it up okay...nice guitar tho but u cannot get sound like that from those pick up on a jag stang...this is pure les paul baby!

[creepingnet]

It's not the guitar, it's the one playing it and how proficient they are at dialing in a good sound. Besides, I don't see how that tone sounds like a Les Paul, a Les paul has more upper midrange, unless you have a Zakk Wylde style Paul (EMG setup too), it sounds close, but the Jag-Stang lacks some of the upper mids the Les Paul has due to a shorter 24" scale.

[creepingnet]

Oh, and I forgot to add, some harmonic content IS lost when using certain video formats, because of compression, and youtube vids can never have the quality of an old analog tape or whatever because whatever re-encodes your video into flash video format (*.FLV) both messes up the synch of some videos (see a few Beavis and Butthead episodes on here and you'll see what I mean). Not like it really matters, but I just have wanted to throw that little bit of technical information out there.

[renocalifornia]

you're damn right cre-net, but what the fuck can we do? do we have to use dvd camcorders? i am discusted by the lack of sync on youtube.  buy the way, you kill on the 6 string. do you know any montrose? space station #5 is a song i think you could work with. rock on my brother!!!!!

[CliffsofDover]

I want your guitar to have my children!

[jimmyq888]

[dunxy]
