[aaronbergAPB]

Very nice entry!

[PauloCesarSchervinsk]

[rickybinta]

Nice Tone,Nice soul...Good Job :-)

[noteworker1971]

He is stoned by the joy of making great music as a creative artist. Not stoned by chemicals :)

Tebrikler Uğur kardeş, bütün çalışmalarını çok beğendim. Alanında en yüksek mertebelere çıkman ve bol bol enstrumantal gitar albümleri yapman dileğiyle sana yürekten başarılar diliyorum.

Ayrica Vai, Satriani vs. taklidi filan da değilsin. Etkilenmek ve örnek almak başka şey, kopyacılık bambaşka bir şey. Mesele bu farkı idrak etmekte. Bu tip eleştirileri önemseme, kendi yolunda aynen devam et.

[boombleh88]

he is so stoned lol

[qaqa404]

deniz demirözün aynı videosunu izlemeye davet ediyorum...

[guitarwyly]

he looks soo stoned lol

thats probly the secret

[shravanrulez]

Your playing and hair are both beautiful.

[Dukebox69]

Just like vai!

[TheSonsofHorusx]

this song made my prostate wiggle

[debbieluvsibanez]

amazing guitar solo!!!! :D

[Vaicount]

Ekipmanların nelerdir? Paylaşırsan sevinirim.

[UgurDariveren]

@Vaicount Carvin Legacy klonu amfi, Robert Keeley Mod. Ds-1.

[1K4MIL1]

man, name this song and make yours, why are you wasting this masterpiece :)

[mattemusic90]

The mode change from 1:18 is brilliant! Surely one of the most original entries of the contest, it's a pleasure to listen it again and again.

[Dukebox69]

What a great solo! Loved the scale choice! Phrygian worked a treat! The tone was amazing also, It sounded great! Love the rg350, own 1 myself

[Botdra]

Sick job on this track man!! I was just wondering, I have an RG350DX (no longer my main axe) and was wondering if that tape is there to hold the kleenex/paper towel in from that trick I heard from Vai and Satch, also wondering how you did it and if it works well? Again very cool stuff, and awesome tone.

[nine9live5]

its always a pleasure to watch you play.... such a clean tone!! whats ur gear man?!

[12345678926389]

in the last you you play just with 2 notes but you gar to play with a lot

[12345678926389]

ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya

[seth3556r]

Why did you tape your neck humbucker? :/

[johnduss]

@seth3556r Probably cause Dimebag did..it keeps the stings from catching on his pickup during a divebomb....

[seth3556r]

@johnduss Cool story........

[JaxTheBear]

i love the whammy sound you make at the start, sounds great

[Jareholm]

Nice solo! And as a Dream Theater fan I think the ending was really nice ;)

[xPanterAx666]

its not everything in guitar and amp

[Aaarrrggghhification]

He looked stoned

[elgrande1987]

@Aaarrrggghhification jajaja totally agree

[ZLATANGULEC]

Tebrikler Uğur harika bir kompozisyon...

[thegumgum]

1:00 sanki Erkan Oğur'un "Dünya" eserinden esintiler var gibi. Ama gerçekten çok güzel olmuş.

[MrTeddy236]

great solo man

[SERLITZ]

Very Vai-ish! Really nice! :)

[singinboyjon]

i like his experimental-chill style itz very different

[ZOMBIELANDakaUSA]

@singinboyjon

like he was 'makin love' to his guitar, lol

great stuff

[ThePreciousguitar87]

Great tone!

[tc0nk]

Sir, who makes that Legacy clone?

[UgurDariveren]

@tc0nk My dad :)

[rap4xd]

bro, really like your tone.

very similar to Vai.

nice job!

[MParseface38]

man, you totally deserve a prestige-model! 

[ivanforcex]

when END the contest?

[ivanforcex]

when END the contest?

[BETAsin]

It's not fair, Steve Vai should not be allowed to compete. :3

[chillichomper]

I thought this was excellent. Very Vai-ish which is ok plus some original stuff too. Nice

[slitherlock]

very nice. and thank you so much for not playing a bunch of scales at lightning speed. what you just did is extremely technical and had tons of raw feel to it. you play at the level where the metronome goes in the dresser drawer and you just play the fucking thing. the solo was a journey and fun to listen to ....just like what steve vai, and joe satch do but it was very much you too.

[konst1989]

damn that´s nice

you have some cool and unique licks in that solo

[BullseyeLes]

Steve VAI ! Im not hating the vid :)

[glubibobi]

thats kick ass, one question, why the tape on the neck pup?

[indrajem7vwh]

very satch n vai which i love!!! but i think it doesnt sound quite right at certain parts of the songs. shld put more emphasis on some parts of the song. but i love ur vai-like technique coz i love him!

[JTNorquay]

Dude, did you seriously record this with that Behringer amp? I have a behringer solid state stack, and honestly, I haven't found a tube amp under $1000 that matches it.

[UgurDariveren]

@JTNorquay It's a Carvin Legacy (clone).

[iSometimesWriteMusic]

1:00 was awesome beyond words!

[Lunaspice]

Oh so...so many awesome Satrianiriffs...beautifully played mate! I love the Dream Theater - Lie touch at the end. :)

[frantic29]

Very Vai like. Very Nice

[simplyguys]

Nice



[aamvb]

[brownshit1]

[TimDovey]

[MaxBGuitar]

[YogSothothOfGuitars]

Nice playing, but why do you copy Vai?

[jack8element]

i don't think this is a Steve Vai kind of a song at all ... but he has a similar tone.... nice playing btw :D

[YogSothothOfGuitars]

I meant his playing is pretty similar to that of vai!

[Overture2152]

@YogSothothOfGuitars maybe because he's influenced by vai? ever think of that?

[felipemp93]

[Carlosdamiano]

[Xalthos]

Absolutely fantastic bro. You definately need to post more often :]
