Guitar Idol 2008 Entry

[0kill13]

You are a lot better than that jaqualine girl, did she win? Hopefully not cuz half of the time she solos she doesn't know what she's playing

[jakecarriere19]

@0kill13 Thanks! No she didn't win, it was a Brazilian named Gustavo Guerra (look him up). My skills don't even compare to his haha, thanks for watching!

[sco1403]

damn jake that sounded great what did u place in guitar idol

[jakecarriere19]

@sco1403 Thanks man! Ended up placing top 50 out of about 750 competitors.

[sco1403]

@jakecarriere19 thats awesome man i gotta jam with you someday but i gotta get better first lol

[thor0407]

is the guitar a gretch or a gibson just curious

[jakecarriere19]

@thor0407 Neither, it's an Ibanez ArtCore.

[thor0407]

@jakecarriere19 thanks guy. very nice playing buy the way, you quite the talent

[jakecarriere19]

@thor0407 Thanks!

[Brittoization]

that would be the one. ahaha

[Brittoization]

HOLY FUCK JAKE IS A YOUTUBE CELEBRITYYY! hahah. its Brittany btw

[jakecarriere19]

Brittany who? just making sure haha Mcleod?

[FOWLMUSIC]

Hey this is great Jake! I especially love how you end this piece. Let me know if you play any shows around here in the future! Sorry I was too wasted by the time you guys played to make any comment!

[jakecarriere19]

Thanks man! Haha no problem thanks for coming

[liljrodguitarboy27]

I agree with Ridvan. It has a certain Zakk feel about it.

[RidvanDuzey]

Very nice ! I liked the way you played a solo over this, reminded me in the solo section of Zakk Wylde !

[jakecarriere19]

Thanks a lot! I'm a big Zakk Wylde fan so that's a nice compliment haha thanks for the friend invite!

[Jim22insano]

haha Guerra é o cara!

O CARA!

[rohan23496]

nice 5 star.

[jakecarriere19]

thanks!

[umairnadeem786]

amazing!!! vibrato is very strong and unique and is awesome for metal!

btw what key and which scale did you use? thanks!

[jakecarriere19]

Thanks a lot for the comment!

It's in the key of Em, and I basically just improvised around the pentatonic scales.

Take it easy ;)

[MetallicaMillionaire]

this is pretty good man. i do have to agree though that your vibrato is a pinch too fast. but i shouldn't be talking, i'd have done the same thing. :D

I'm 14 an i've been playing for two years(not as good as you).

listening to someone like you reminded me that you can say more with five notes than with fity sometimes

[jakecarriere19]

thanks a lot for the comment man! I'm sure you'll smoke me in no time lol..I also agree that my vibrato was way too fast, but in my defence, this was over a year ago haha.

Keep playing bro, and take care!

[TheDude1016]

Some very good musicianship here. The only suggestion I can think of is you should work on your transitions when you switch between the different modes. Other then that, great!

[jakecarriere19]

Agreed! Thanks a lot for the comment man, I appreciate it ;)

Take care.

[ML120374]

I hope you are not offended, but that´s my opinion and this should only be a constructive criticism.

I also hope you understand what i mean, because my english is not the best ;-)

[jakecarriere19]

I'm not offended at all man..this was a while ago so I've improved since then..thanks for the comment bro

[ML120374]

Sorry if i´ve been missunderstood, but i did not speak about your sound separate your tone, which comes from your vibrato. In my opinion it´s too fast and not wide enough. Also you should take care, that it´s in time/tempo with the song, a slower vibrato helps in it too. Also to me has struck, that your vibrato some times let the tone sounds too high, because you did´nt hit the target note on the low end of the vibrato.

[ML120374]

Pretty nice, but your tone needs some work.

[jakecarriere19]

thanks. I agree, but in my defence, I was playing on a 20-watt amp haha

[tejadam868]

niceeeeeee. you must be my mentor! lol. keep that good work up. you have a nice variety of playing styles from what i see

[jakecarriere19]

thanks very much for the comment man I appreciate it! take care my friend

[Lotion5150]

your vibrato could use some work...it sounds like a buzzing bee and isnt in tempo with the song

[jakecarriere19]

i agree man..this was a while ago so since then i have been working on it..nice playing at your channel by the way keep it up bro

[rupdog1220]

prefer this to shred anyday.

give me creamy tone, melodies, and great phrasing and I'm happy.

Great job mate.

[jakecarriere19]

thank you very much for the nice comment man. Made my day haha. take care!

Jake

[Lotion5150]

creamy tone melodies and great phrasing still exists in shred though as long as you arent listening to crappy shred guitarists...

[MaRa37Uchiha]

incredible, i think is one of the best videos of the contest i saw, i hope you'll win

[jakecarriere19]

thanks a lot that really means a lot to me. I hope I can count on your vote for this competition, I will be posting up my video as soon as I can and will definitely let you know. Thanks for subscribing:)

Take care

Jake

[jakecarriere19]

will do man

[ecsentrik]

from 2.20 and onwards the soloing is perfection bro, really emotional and warm.  i thank u!

[jakecarriere19]

thanks bro!

[jakecarriere19]

Tell me somthing I don't know man haha. No seriously I know exactly what you mean, but I am not going to change my style just for a competition that I don't even expect to come close to winning. Thanks for the concern but its okay. Thanks for the comment bro

take care

[DevilDepBezNicka]

Now I know how would PGM with real f holes look!

[ducky811]

Very tasteful and lots of different textures to your playing that avoids it being repetative and not saying anything. I absolutely enjoyed this piece. That is one fantastic tone you are displaying also. Best wishes and continued wonderful playing.

[jakecarriere19]

thank you very much..glad you enjoyed it:P

[darkblackhalo37]

Very nice man. I got a bit of a Zakk Wylde vibe along with a touch of Santana. I've been playing for a little over two years now and you're way better than I hope to be next year. The hollow body was a very nice choice for the tune, tottaly carried the feeling with it. Keep cranking out the good stuff man.

[jakecarriere19]

thanks a lot for your comment man..you seem to know your stuff, and keep up the guitar man, u'll never regret it. keep practicing and you'll be way better than i am..take care bro

Jake

[darkblackhalo37]

I got a question for you.... what kind of gear are you using besides the Ibanez? I'm trying to put a wish list together for the holidays and looking for some good pedals.

[jakecarriere19]

for this video im using the Boss Micro BR recorder effects..other than that i have an Ibanez Dealy, Dunlop Wah pedal, Ibanez Chorus pedal, an MXR noise gate and a Fender Tuner pedal

[johnysuperfly]

very nice playing best opening ive seen for this tune yet

[jakecarriere19]

thanks a lot man i appreciate your comment

[mindfulmusic78]

Man,that was REally cool!

[jakecarriere19]

thanks a lot bro!

[katseazzz]

cool playing...what guitar is it?

[jakecarriere19]

thanks a lot..its an Ibanez Semi Hollow-Body

[VolumenTone]

I like the way you've focused on precision in bends and all round clarity, at 17 thats something lol so many people around that age just want SPEEEED (not all) and completely forget about everything else. Nice little piece. Do you get lessons at all or just self taught? :o

[jakecarriere19]

thanks for the kind words man..I've been self-taught for most of my playing career and have had a few lessons this year..only for a week tho

thanks again for the comment bro

Jake

[dannyjm1]

dude this is amazing, how long have you been playing?? hope im this good one day :) beautiful playing, keep it up man

[jakecarriere19]

thank you very much my friend! ive been playing for a little over 3 years. All you need to do is practice man, and youll be better than me in no time. Thanks again for the comment

Jake

[Hwarrang123]

Thank you

Jake

[zarkaba]

Alors je parle pas beaucoup anglais, alors tu vas parler et je te repond en français. Si j'ai bien compris tu m'as demandè quelle video j'aimerais que tu interpretes ?

[jakecarriere19]

ce que j'ai dit était "s'il vous plaît vous abonner à mes chaînes si vous aimez ce que vous voyez. Et je serai détachement Van Halen vidéos dès que mon frère me montre comment éditer des vidéos.

I hope that makes sense haha
