Never heard of her, was looking around mason williams. but liked it. If the guy who wrote it, will play it with her, she must know her stuff. I can only judge by ear, but was a good version. Ill check out her other stuff in the process. The joys of music, appreciate it........ We cant all play as good as they can.
I can appreciate Zoe's performance on more than one level. Beautiful woman and beautiful music. Which is more beautiful? Who cares? I enjoyed the tune when Mason performed it a long time ago. I learned to play it on piano. Zoe proves it is still inspiring as she inspires others. I know thanks are not necessary as it it obvious you enjoy what you're doing, but THANKS ZOE!!! I'm sad that I missed you when you were in Texas earlier. I do hope to have another opportunity to hear and see you live....
Zoe: This is great. Thank you for taking a classic (no pun intended) and updating it. I will forward it to my daughter who has been studying guitar playing for over a year.
Your a fabulous gutarist. Don't worry about bad comments, people always do that type of thing!. You should post up your version of Apache too, is very good.
Listen girl, you are challenging my feelings.. there are certain things that could result in ragnarok, tsunamies and eartgquakes, if you touch them, including Classical gas, Pink floyd; The wall and futurama.. It's risky to make a cover of a composition of this, but you actually did it quite fine, i must admid:)So, an applause for the courage, and one for the cover it self!
i disagree with saying that people shouldn't post bad comments, if people don't point out what is ininspiring shite and give credit where it is not due we are all fucked
Nice job however it was not real. The parts of Mason were taken from the video recording of him 20 years after the song became big, they just mixed it in...
Way to go girl! I have played guitar for 33 years and I think you sound great! Everyone plays differently. You are doing your thing. Don't listen to negative comments posted here. They are jealous, sad little spineless lumps of flesh - they don't have the brains nor the cojones to do what you are doing.
They are insecure, bitter and empty inside, so they attack you. They are too weak, too chicken to follow their dream, or have none.
If she wasn't that good then why would Mason Williams agree to let her perform this song..with him...which was nominated for grammy by the way..I think this version ROCKS!!!
The girl is only playing single string lead. and rather badly.You know one note at a time. You know like you learn in your first month of guitar lessons.
Never realized how annoying/distracting this song sounds electrified!,..just doesnt have the same inspirational sound. (Welcome to 80's tonality).. But good job, for a female.
Zoe ! Wondeful stuff again ! I play a fair version of Classical Gas myself, but that was just a Fantastic version ! Your an amazing guitarist and I hope to hear more stuff from you, keep posting them!
Shouldn't comments on here be about this video and song not other artists. Hey at least this girl had the guts to do what she did and try. Ans for the guy who said he could play this with his penis, I would pay to see that.
ive played guitar for 15 years , i know how to play this song , and the original is way better, and btw metallica used to be good in the old days now there just a bunch of sober morons, albums like ride the lightning and and justice for all rock, everything after the self titled album was shit. as far as metal bands go sabbath is god all metal bands owe everything to sabbath
i just said i listen to scorpions, rainbow, ufo, pink floyd, so i've got a hell of better taste than urz if u worship metallica like all the other losers, what the other guy said is right, ride the lightening was ok, they had a few perfect songs like unforgivin I & II, nuthin else, fade to black, the rest was shit, ur pathetic if u think anyone who doesn't like metallica needs to get a life.
crappest music i have ever seen on youtube!!! i advise you to take this video off or look at some real music like FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE BY METALLICA ON THE ALBUM CALLED RIDE THE LIGHTNING!!! GOOD SONGS ROCK.
nO MORE CRAP zOE U R cRAPP
Zoe Listen to real music, and join the rest of us!
Campbell: I like Metallica, I love metal, especially death metal, but I can't agree with you because your post is one of the most stupid I've ever seen on youtube:) This is one of the best guitar instrumentals ever, just other version. If you'd be a guitarist, you would appreciate it.
metallica is THE most over rated band ever, they suck big time, all they have is a few gud hits and that's it, and ur a dumbass for comparing thrash to classic music, u want real metal u got iron maiden and black sabbath and bands like that, u want rock u got scorpions, aerosmith, rainbow, u name it, MeTaLlIcA SuCkS aSs.
and by the way she ruined the peice with her lead crap.
first of all ppl use abreviations online so it's GUD for me weather u like it or not, second i din't say they're not popular, so is 50 cent a great musician?
good version of this song. it sounds a little like jazz fusion or some eric johnson version (even though he is much better). still not as good as the original, but different
Hey thats pretty cool how the song is improvised, or adapted to the electric guitar, and still sounds good. Try playing the original on the electric and it sounds soooo ridiculous. Nice work, leearning the version she plays would obviously be easier, but I reckon it still sounds great
I've always liked this piece, and this is a particularly exciting version. I think it lends itself to electric interpretation very well and this is a very enjoyable rendition. I wish there were more women out there playing the electric guitar.
omg u all are wrong u dont no who zoe McCulloch is!!!! she does most backing tracks for the shadows, and if you dont know who they are u need a life!!!! shes 20x better than all of us
I have to say, this rendition of a classic piece gave me the same chills that listening to Mason Williams's original does. I'm about 98% certain that Classical Gas is one of the top 5 pieces from the 20th century, and I think this version puts an exciting new twist on a very powerful piece of music.
I agree Tommy Emmanuel plays an amazing Classical Gas. Tommy has also played on stage with Zoe many times. There is a great picture of Zoe and Tommy on stage on the Photo album at www.zoemcculloch.com
I have the Electrical Gas album of Zoe and Mason it is fabulous. Mason on the sleeve notes has lots of good things to say about Zoe. I love Zoe and Mason's duet Largo Deluxe.
Now the guitar sounds just right, and your playing is a treat for my ears. Great job !!!
