High Hopes - One for Lena

[ToriGirlytar]

It not only cheered me up but was inspirational so I subscribed!

Rock On!

[striker1CODK]

I love your stuff brother I've turned all of your song into mp3s on my iPod and listen 2 them all the time for the last year of so!!!! Keep em coming please!!!! :)

[johnnypaytonbender]

Holy mother of God! I dont need to know about what guitars...setting...strings...­.pickups...and whatever else you're doing here. Your tone..(i mean your soul) is in your hands brother! Dont ever stop! You have a new fan!

[CedricIII]

@johnnypaytonbender Don't worry, I won't stop... it's one of very few things that make me feel good... playing the guitar. Mind relieving, almost like therapy. Thanks man!

[jpdesp]

@CedricIII Better than pills :)

[roektkalkon]

Fredde, du har inget schysst tips på några sköna pedaler som man får fram ett bluesigt ljud ur?

[CedricIII]

@roektkalkon Nä, jag är rätt dålig på att använda pedaler. Kör nästan bara förstärkardist.

Fast jag har ett par overdrivepedaler. En Xotic BB Preamp och en Fulltone OCD, bägge går att få bluesljud ur. Annars har ju Boss gjort en Blues Driver pedal som är populär och dessutom skapligt billig, särskilt beggad. Kanske kan vara något?

[roektkalkon]

@CedricIII Mjoo.. Tänkte nästan köpa en Boss GT-10. Fast vet inte om det är värt pengarna.

Kanske till och med köper en Blues Driver, vem vet :)

[drewsneatlife]

sweet track&cool as **** playing

[jpdesp]

awesome feel and playing !

[CedricIII]

@jpdesp Merci beaucoup!

[pianoanders]

Awesome!!!

[YYZDRUMR]

Such a beautiful song to begin with, and your improv solos were really good.

[BOUZOUKISIGNIS]

excellent my friend and loved the sound even though i 'm not a fan of boss gts.....

[CedricIII]

@BOUZOUKISIGNIS Thanks! Well I prefer the real stuff too, but at home it's a great tool for practicing with headphones...

[TheHarmont]

I don't like long solos but I've watched this one until the end. Just beautiful.

[CedricIII]

@TheHarmont You know... it isn't exactly easy to keep people interested för over seven minutes of improvisation... I think it takes a certain kind of people to appreciate it... Your comment made me very happy! Thanks!! :)

[cloutierhaker]

ooh a Luke :) I love the guitar :) I have one myself :) Great sound good playing

[KingJosephtheMaster]

What a beautifull Song! Don't blame me for crying, Sir!

Please pray for my girl! ...

[mayro1]

@KingJosephtheMaster Hope al is ok with your Girl....

[mayro1]

It is now some time since Lena passed away.But it is still hard to know that ske died of misstreatment in Swed helthcare.And that no political people do somthing about Swed helth care problems that make over 3000 pople die of misstakes.And that numbers are many more in the dark becurse swed atohorot dont check cases that tarts for more than two years ago.Canser start often often with a misstake for over two years ago when no diagnos aredone.Lena is one that die in this way.Tobbe.Husband to Lena.

[pebj86]

Jag brukar aldrig kommentera något på nätet men nu måste jag bara säga att det är otroligt vilken känsla du spelar med, helt fantastiskt bra!

Det är inte så att du råkar bo i Göteborg och ger gitarrlektioner? ;)

[CedricIII]

@pebj86 Åhh, tack!! Vad gäller din fråga så svarar jag: varken eller, eftersom jag är 08:a och inte har en susning om vad jag håller på med på gitarren, haha. Nä, men seriöst så tänker jag inte när jag spelar, så teorin har liksom halkat efter. Blir svårt att lära ut då, speciellt när jag inte är pedagogiskt lagd och har dåligt tålamod när det kommer till sånt som att lära ut. Dottern lär sig t.ex. gitarr i musikskolan... jag hjälper henne med lite "svårare" prylar, resten får hon fixa själv...

[pebj86]

@CedricIII Själv har jag spelat i fem år men aldrig orkat ta tag i teorin, känns som att jag borde göra det för att komma framåt... Vet inte heller riktigt vad jag håller på med. Försöker spela på känsla till saker som inspirerar, vilket din video gjorde. Du har inte möjligtvis kvar backing tracken som du använder i videon som du kan dela med dig?

[CedricIII]

@pebj86 Gå in på gilmourish(dot)com, för det är där jag har hittat alla PF-backingtracksen, där finns även High Hopes! :)

[andersskanberg]

Fantastiskt bra! Love it!

[CedricIII]

@andersskanberg Tack, Anders! :)

[jojjorapp]

asgrymt!!!

[CedricIII]

@jojjorapp Tackar! :)

[Troy2029]

You're simply amazing... I don't know how many times i played again and again this video. Magnfique.

[luckluc]

Goosebumps !!! Amazing as usual...

[kleydj13]

Amazing!

[crx1vtec]

awesome playing, and beautifull tone and melody!!!

cheers ;)

[CedricIII]

@crx1vtec Thanks, man! :)

[callerz1]

I love this, I wish I could somehow associate it with a happier story. Just beautiful mate. Thanks

[CedricIII]

@callerz1 Thanks man! I'll try to post something happier next time! ;)

[JoakimBD]

Riktigt grymt! =)

[Eddog123]

Awesome job man! You can really feel the emotion coming out in your playing , it's great

[CedricIII]

@Eddog123 Thanks! :)

[chicOoOintherocks]

superbe impro et un tres bon son elle sonne cette luke

[CedricIII]

@chicOoOintherocks Merci! :)

[cy3es1]

Fantastic.

[1968BTW]

This is why you are my favorite player on YouTube brother. Fantastic job.

[CedricIII]

@1968BTW Thanks man! Really appreciate it!

[HNplaying]

respect....!



[jashobbsie]

wow, brilliant! nice job buddy! Dave would very much like this one...

cheers!

[bluesplayer51]

My complements!! Your sound is quite near David Gilmour.

I loved the swith to the humbucker!

Great playin

[CedricIII]

@bluesplayer51 Thanks alot, man! Have a nice weekend! ♪♫

[einaroneeye]

Very nice-the feel and the spirit in your playing here more than make up for any bum notes. Great work and a sweet tone on this clip. Sad story-sorry about Lena's situation-cancer has impacted probably nearly all of us at one time or another. 

[CedricIII]

@einaroneeye Thanks! :)

[sjunkbomb95]

Superbra!

[CedricIII]

@sjunkbomb95 Tack! 

[99bm]

You are really good :)

Greetings from Peru and I give you my best wishes

[CedricIII]

@99bm Thanks man!

[heomer82]

Big !!

[KillBloodRaven]

Damn man, you're so good you just make your way through to my unconcious. I dont even have to pay attention to the music for it to move me. Keep it up!

Greetings from the other corner of the planet.

[CedricIII]

@KillBloodRaven Thanks man! :)

[fredrock21]

Master , wich one like you the most ? , POD-XT or GT-10 ???

nice tone !! BT little loud but it's a minor detail , i liked the Sorrow impro too !!!

[CedricIII]

@fredrock21 It's been so long since I played the XT so I don't have the feeling fresh in my head if you know what I mean, but I think I'll get it back from the person who borrowed it from me soon, then it's easier to A/B test them.

But as far as I can remember the XT sounds better in headphones but the GT-10 sounds better through a PA system.

The reason why I bought the GT-10 was because I used it with my Marshall JVM. However, I sold the JVM and got a Mesa Lonestar with a G-system instead... :)

[Sjusovaren]

Forsman, lägg upp fler videor gubben. :) Annars kommer Gunilla med Hatten och våldgästar dig.

[jakobjonasson]

Sorglig historia bakom detta klipp. Men jag vill tacka för ännu en fantastisk video. Jag tycker du spelar fantastiskt, tekniskt duktig förstås men det som imponerar på mig är den oerhörda känsla du förmedlar genom ditt spelande. Inte många som kan det, men du tillhör den lilla skara gitarrister som jag verkligen beundrar öfr denna fantastiska känsla! Tack!

[CedricIII]

@jakobjonasson Stort tack!!

[mamollami]

Sei un grande!

[ae186k]

As always. Awesome.

[mcrmoz]

Fantastic playing!!!!, more Floyd please.

[conan2179]

wow. Can you send me a tab?conan21@inwind.it

[CedricIII]

@conan2179 No, but you can download it from gilmourish(dot)com. Thanks! ☺

[CedricIII]

@GeorgeC2009 Thanks. Well, I don't think so much when I play, but I understand what you mean. Of course you feel when it's good, but as I'm only improvising I don't really know what's coming next. But the more you put feel to it the more it touch you of cours.

Feeling is the key! ROck on!

[louieme73]

amazing! i wish i could play like you.

[CedricIII]

@mayro1 Tobbe, det var ett mycket ledsamt besked... :(

Vet inte vad jag ska skriva riktigt, det finns liksom inte ord för en sån här händelse.

Sänder er mitt djupaste medlidande och hopp om styrka, för det är inte någon lättsmält upplevelse det där. Kram / Fredric

[Alohapoisons]

please help me.where i can get soundtracks ? i want improvise,but i cant find anywhere only drums,or bass sounds.if you know what i mean.sorry for bad English speak.If you know where i can get soundtrack like that,please reply me. :)

And offcourse,dude,you play amazing!

[CedricIII]

@Alohapoisons Thanks!

I found this backingtrack at gilmourish(dot)com. There are alot of PF-BT's there... check it out! :)

[mayro1]

Lena kämpar vidare i sin kamp mot cancern. Hon är i mycket dåligt skick tyvärr.! Och är nu på ett rehabhem för att förhoppningsvis klara av att bygga upp sina krafter. Detta då hon nu inte orkar med mer behandling rent fysiskt.Vi lyssnar ofta här där du spelar för Lena och vår familj

Tack igen. Din musik är mycket uppskattad!

My wife Lena is still fighting for her life against her Cancer and her bad physical situation.So thanks again Fredric for this playing you do for Lena and our family

[CedricIII]

@mayro1 Hang in there, I know you can beat it! *kram*

[JarekMarekJan]

Lena will love it! :))) It's very, veeey nice! You keep the spirit of this song! Congratulations!

[Metallikakka]

fuckin' A! got the chills from this man!

[zenncatt]

Some really nice playing. You have a sense of melody and feel which is lacking in so many players. Keep the vides coming, man.

Best wishes.

[CedricIII]

@JrzyDevL30 Thanks man!

From the GT-10 directly to the computer and Cubase SX2.

Don't remember what preset I used, sometimes I just tweak one of the preamps until it sound like I want it to do, but I almost never save them. Can't help you there, unfortunately. Yes, I consider myself as selftaught, but of course I've done some studying, but the most important lesson has been to use my ears to copy what I liked about my favorite guitarplayers and steal the best from them... take care! / F

[teddyyed]

PERFECT MEN! i love that !!!! YOU are a killer !!!!! Musicman luke 1 red: it's my favorite guitar!!! if you sell it one day, think has me!!!!

[CedricIII]

@teddyyed Thanks teddy! I won't sell this baby...! ;)

[Folgorect]

Really nice,congrats cedric ;)

[bmp713]

To describe this masterful performance is beyond words so I will not make an attempt.

A humble request: my all time favorite song of any genre is Echoes. I know for a fact you could take this masterpiece to a level unforseen. Please do so.

[CedricIII]

@bmp713 Thanks man!

Echoes? I think I have a backing track for that too. I guess I'll have a listen to what it is.Thanks for the tip!

[bmp713]

@CedricIII It would be amazing to hear you do a cover of Echoes.

Here is some inspiration:

[piotrond1]

great !!!!!!!!!!!

[olalator]

SOOOUNNNNDDD) nice nice))

[XxLuigisMafiaxX07]

I'm Speeechless! i got hooked 30 sec. into the video and bearly blinked! I have to say man, i'm IMPRESSED! AMAZING job. I Know for a fact that im able to play just as well, only thing is that im self taught, and don't know Music Theory, so scales arent in my head yet :/ .. What key is this in? Or what scales did you use? so i can look up the scales and practice, i make youtube videos too. it'd be great if you replied!

- Luis A.

[CedricIII]

@XxLuigisMafiaxX07

Hey man. Thanks! I've been on a vacation to Cyprus, so I haven't been able to answer.... well, I think it's mostly C minor scale, but I kind of mix everything up when it comes to improvisation...

Just like you I am self taught, so I can't tell you exactly what scales I use even if I want to... sorry. Rock on! / Fredric

[vilmeri1]

Awesome!

[CedricIII]

@johnlad2751 Hey, thanks! The strings are D'addario 9-42.

This time I used my Boss GT-10 straight in to the computer and cubase sx2.

[rockmetalmachine]

Man i love all you rplaying your expression is so wonderfull, isnt the guitar the best place to get your emotions outside in a beautifull way, you did thsi extremly well if this was for sale ill buy it doesnt even need any vocals congratss mann :D

[CedricIII]

@rockmetalmachine Thanks man.

Yeah, you're absolutely right. I use the guitar a lot to clear my mind, it's pure relaxation to play the guitar. It has helped me a lot of when I had a tough time... I'm glad if something of that shines through in my playing! Take care!

[jackwoodi]

Wow, that was spectacular:) And yes you're right, you've gotta take a few chances in an 8 Minute song :P Few gigs in the UK possibly?

[ewt00b]

fabulous, mon!

[powlygon]

gives me the shivers! Man, what a tone, what a feel, someone drag this guy in a studio nearby. Wanna have an album from you!

[bjmcnamara009]

Fredric, just unbelievable yet again. I just don't know how you are not playing on the biggest stages in the world. Its not just your technical skills (there are plenty of youtube with massive skills), but you play with such feeling, for me its just a joy to listen to you. You are so good Fredric, you just blow me away.

[CedricIII]

@bjmcnamara009 I hear you...and I thank you for believing in me.

The best thing about playing the guitar is that you never get to old for it, so perhaps my time will come in the future, I don't know. In the meantime I'll just continue do what I love the most - play the guitar! Thanks again! /F

[Burynnhoss]

Beautifull

[dugless52]

always a good job you do

[Beelie06]

Some very Luke-ish solo bits, you can tell you love to play and are quite humble about it all. Keep posting.

[MGKraest]

Another awesome vid, bro! Absolutely stunning work :) I did a cover that stayed true to the original version, but yours is even better :)

Mine is at /watch?v=6RQJutF1ewI if you want to check it out :)

Mike

[TragiskMC]

Great performance as usual !!! Just love it !!!!

[sangaface]

A lot of heart and soul, i can see who you are through your playing. This is what Charlie Parker meant when he said You've got to learn your instrument. Then, you practice, practice, practice. And then, when you finally get up there on the bandstand, forget all that and just wail.

[bigrock007]

just awesome!!

[SebastianDavidMusic]

Man you have something special, a million notes played in one second can't express what you do in 1 note. Your playing and improvisation are so soulful.

My high hopes for this Lena girl as well.

Regards,

Sebastián

[steadymovingpictures]

FUCKING EPIC MAN, rock on, love your vids, keep it up

[fblitk]

lovely tone !

[needmorereality]

¡Asombroso!

[fredriksoderbaum]

fyfan vad bra!

[sssmcd]

Everyone know that you can shred the hell out of a guitar, but the BIG thing about you is that emotional tone. Makes my cry everytime. You are really spilling your heart out on this one.

Love you bro.

[Pethamx]

grymt spelat! hoppas Lena blir bra! - great played! hope Lena will be all right!

[chrhall90]

VACKERT lirat!

[mayro1]

I have call by phone to hospital and play this fore her in the phone.. Lena cant talk so much. But she can listen... And she cry.. But not sad crying. She cry of movement fore what you give her in this moment when things like this is more important than new cars or money.....

Thanks again and again from our family !...

[CedricIII]

@mayro1 @mayro1

Hej... vet inte vad jag ska skriva riktigt... jobbig situation, omänsklig skulle jag nog vilja kalla den för. Hur som helst så önskar jag er all lycka, ni behöver den verkligen!

Fint att ni tyckte om låten, jag visste inte riktigt vad jag skulle spela för något, men jag snubblade över den här låten och tyckte dessutom att titeln var passande...

Kram / Fredric

[mayro1]

Lena is today starting treatment for her tuff hard Cancer. And she have to fight for her life.. And we can only hope she is strong and win that fight. We all in family is afraid as never before... She love you guitar playing Cedric !...She was listen a lot when she was home fore some day before travel to hospital this morning..

[mayro1]

@mayro1 Our children Julia. Linnea Jenny and me Lena's husband thank you fore this playing you do for our Lena.. We all cry when we listen.From the deep of our hart.. Thanks Muse.. Thanks for tell Cedric that Lena love his playing..And Cedric... Thanks.. You cant understand how this feel to listen to this playing.... My heart cry like your guitar do..Now all we can do is pray for help from higher power...

[mayro1]

Cedric. Jag försöker skriva på Engelska. Skall lägga in mina samt vår familjs tankar om detta vackra du gör för vår Lena som slåss för sitt liv i detta nu på sjukhuset i Lund.. svår cancer är en svår motståndare...

[notpopebuthope]

WHEN Gsus (! ;-) walked on earth, people did not recognice for real what happened in front of their eyes. From top of a mountain HE preached his wisdom to people sitting on the ground, listening those holy words. AND I ask myself : What, when HE visits us this time in person of a guitar-player using name 'CedricIII' - mountain is youtube - people is me, sitting in front of my laptop - holy words coming from deep inside heart through six strings and amp to my ears?! My answer is: AMEN! HALLELUJA!

[peelopuu]

6.11 cool :D

[sssmcd]

Tack Fredric, Lena kommer att bli så glad!

Vilken ton du har mannen..jisses..

*gåspung*

[CrazyMidget01]

awesome style, awesome sound, awesome jam, awesome music man....did i say awesome?
