Zoe McCulloch & Mason Williams - Electrical Gas

[Niller1955]

Now the guitar sounds just right, and your playing is a treat for my ears. Great job !!!

[Elaphae]

Discovered you today, subscribed - great talent.

[themerseyshadow]

sounds like staus quo playing the shadows

[rgpoindexter]

pish!

[Dan1loBr]

1am I the only one who hates the bridge @ 1:20 oO

I think it goes totally off of the song... I heard the original album version and find it more attractive, without that bridge ;o

[mrsky1962]

Brilliant Zoe.

[franknblunt]

Very entertaining and historic.

[brawls10]

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.

[beachbum77979]

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....

[fluffythecat2]

Awesome. Good for her.

Not Claptonesque in my opinion. but nice

[fdiminished]

Great Stuff - and your more recent work is even more so. Thanks for sharing.......sad how lads who can't play guitar criticise women who can !!!

[Th1sWasATriumph]

Oh, I remember you now! Your phrasing and bends . . . need work.

[foodtekie]

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.

[klotzstang]

This is how Clapton would have played it, if he ever did. So far, he never recorded "Gas".

[keropiboy]

this is awesome... long time i haven't heard the 'classical gas' played so nicely

[klf5191]

Very, Very cool ! Beautiful ! the song and you ! Smile! Have Fun !!!

[ludwigvan17]

Good work. Fantastic arrangement.

[AwesomeSecretChannel]

Amazing

[mara235]

I liked this

[JOHNDEEBANK]

This 61 yr. old says way to go!  Love these classics! You did great! Please keep it up.

[rubber731]

oh i'n not going to lie to you this is a crackin job! tidy

[Shnobster]

its pretty good, i must say, but i think the song is more suited to the acoustic guitar

[3d141592]

Shnobster, listen to vanessa maes version and vote again

greets

andreas

[Shnobster]

i stand by my point, you cant get the same effect on the violin, with all the chords and you cant play a bass on it

[triggerboy33]

really good, but on sme of the slower parts for the electric the classical should've been turned up so it doesnt sound so off rhythm

[petesahot666]

elegantly awesome

5/5

[Ibik]

nice

[wezza69]

omg!!! u live at the bottom of my street!!

[charliedrakes]

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.

[vsldk]

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!

[guitargrade8]

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

[guitargrade8]

this is complete shit, who let this idiot kill one of the best guitar pieces ever written. She gives female musicians a bad name.

[bunniescankill]

well you sir, can go fuck yourself

[TheOrganHero]

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...

[moonchild365]

nice job :D

[Burnswa]

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.

[ventues97]

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!!!

[artdever]

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.

[stratuser54]

and how many notes can you play at one time when it comes to lead playing then

[michaelcrosa]

Girls & Guitars???

Gimme some Beano.

[alezlesbleus]

To be honest, this version is really bad... How come women can'T play guitar like men, i mean... we both have ten fingers!

[thomasw25]

It's because their brains are one third the size of a man's. That's science!

[Imnerzia]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHA

Too funny man...i gave you a plus and plan to every day for the rest of my life

[079186]

How many records have you made then?

[bunniescankill]

-_-, its nice of you to make an idiot of yourself on the internet so we can all laugh at you

[randytoma]

You are right! They all look like they're playing with 2 left hands.

[Ambercase]

After playing for such a long time, she should have a better technique. My pupils play better after 3 years of practicing.

No feeling and lots of mistakes.

[ZIPPTPH77]

You can keep it!

[Napco205]

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.

[dodgerfanatico]

it was good, very good, but mason is the best

[Shadowcat19uk]

I saw her looking at stalls at Birmingham NEC Music Live once...

[bholepoop]

Is that Mason Williams with the electric with her right after they show them together playing in the classical guitar style?

[cwmiller2006]

ok so who is this chick ??? shes kinda cute and plays pretty good too eh ?

[jpcbrice]

quel intérêt à transformer la brillante composition de

M.W en cette bouillie indigeste et prétentieuse?

[hurricanehamster]

wooo hooo

this is why i luv music!

if only i could play this on clarinet.......

[paintballingjoe101]

very good. I loved it.

[MidnightMinstrel]

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!

[annagreen05]

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.

[fungoidmass]

Make it stop. STFU and turn Mason up.

[letyoursondrink]

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

[monkeyjoe666]

I think they ruined the song it sounded so much better with just mason williams and without all the corny the corny electric guitar.

Oh and death666wish, if you think metallica suck then please get a life. (and a taste for good music)

[Death666wish]

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.

[markwinnington]

i could play that with my penis if i tried hard enough

(:

[fashionable5consumer]

And by the way... This version is INCREDIBLE

[c05campbellc]

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!

the world hate you

[fashionable5consumer]

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.

[c05campbellc]

it is a very good guitar instrumental in the origional but i dont think this is good cover

[Death666wish]

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.

[gamz0r]

What more than a few good (yes, two O's NOT a U) hits should a band have to be popular in your mind?

And i think this a good modern cover of the song

[Death666wish]

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?

[FLOYDIAN111]

awesome covering :D, and that 50 cent and the ppl like him are all one big piece of shit

[Death666wish]

umm, nice way to put it...

[ajasanar]

Awesome rendition -- loved it

[justadreem]

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

[carlidomin]

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

[hjbpnb]

This lady is GOOD ! She not only plays the piece VERY WELL, but above all she has got SOUL !

Those who say things against her interpretation are just green with envy.

ZOE, ALTHOUGH I HAVE THE SAME FEELING FOR MUSIC AS YOU,

I'LL ADMIT I CAN'T PLAY ONE TENTH AS WEEL AS YOU.

C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S ! ! !

[oklabo]

Who is Zoe and why is she butchering this great song by mason Williams?

[Pirpirate]

langweilig... boring... gähn.

[Thresherman]

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.

[eldedor]

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

[zaprowzdower110]

Not bad but by no means a guitar virtuoso.

Mason Williams, naturally, did the best version.

[stabitas]

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.

[GeorgeClapton]

Go girl. Give it your twist. (Bollox34 put your classical version up)

[FLOYDIAN111]

to the idiots ((bollox34 , Knuckleschaotix , SpACatta)) ,, she is awesome guitar player ,, could play like her ????

[bollox34]

She can't play shit. It's completely crap. Sounds like a 4 year old playing an out of tune guitar. Get a grip.

[merloon]

Mmmmmmmm.... twangy.

[FLOYDIAN111]

can i get the tab ??

[FLOYDIAN111]

you are a virtuoso :D

[Knuckleschaotix]

Shes ia absolutely useless!REAL BAD GUITARIST!

jUST CUASE SHES BLONDE?

shite! NO FEEL ETC..

[terrett58]

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

[pjvenner]

Pretty Cool. I stumbled on this looking for a solo electric rendition of classical gas.

[terrett58]

You should check out www.electricalgas.com there are extracts from the album that Zoe and Mason made together there.

[ESharpe]

Check out Tommy Emmanuels acoustic version of classical gas Amazzzzzzzzing.

[Interior21]

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.
