Co-wrote this one with Ty in 1986-1987 while we were roomates and KX changed it just a little and ended up using it. Those were very creative times I will always cherish...
@TheScunion I'll do a video reply someday when I stop feeling lazy and take my webcam back out. :) I like your version, though. And envious as h*ll you got your hands on a Strat Elite. They're not easy to find. I taught the song to myself 18 years ago, with the drop D, but not the drop G.
@Politcalamity You can find them all over Ebay. I find it much easier to play the song with the G dropped a half step. Just seems to make more sense in terms of phrasing the song properly, otherwise yr doing some pretty awkward fingerings especially on the 7th chord of the opening riff. However I am looking forward to seeing how it's done without retuning the G. I am always open to learning and it's what makes us all better players. Best to ya and talk to ya soon.
Still one of my very favorite KingsX songs... Will NEVER forget seeing them play this at the Limelight in NYC. Alice in Chains OPENED for them! Mindblowing night...
MY ALLTIME FAVORITE KINGS X SONG!!! AND THAT IS NOT A STATEMENT I THROW AROUND LIGHTLY.... OR EVER!!!! WHEN DOUG KILLS THAT "FAAAAAAAAAARRRRRR AWAAAAYYYYYY" SCREAM 65% OF THE TIME IT GIVES MY CHILLS,,,,, EVERYTIME!! LOL HAD TO THROW IN THE ANCHORMAN QUOTE...PS BTW PLEASE LEARN SILENT WIND!!!
Awesome as usual! Wouldn't mind knowing what effects you are playing through. I get totally inspired but trying to cop the riffs at full speed is not an easy thing. I need the "For Dummies" version.
in my video post, note i learned the riff without dropping the g.... i learned it by ear. this makes the first part of the riff look easy... two stings under a finger on the 3rd and 5th frets.... i don't think i can retrain myself to do it this way. besides detuning 2 strings is a hassle.... d is easy.....
Wow...you've got the tone & feel nailed. This is the closest I've ever heard. You're vibrato is pretty spot on too. Are you sure you're not related to Ty?
Any chance you might detail your rig setup or even possibly do a video for "Sometimes"?
Man, I love your precision with Ty's incredible playing! One of my King's X favorites!
Thanks for showing me how to jam on this one!
PS, I am a bit jealous of that there guitar! But you truly deserve to be playing it.

Dropping the G is not necessary to play this song correctly. Dropping the E is very necessary.

I have never seen anyone nail the Ty one as well as you have in this video. My hat is off to you. Is there a tab to this somewhere?
