If I could Fly Joe Satriani

[salmonfishandships]

hey man ! very nicely done , just a pitty we cannot see better your playing ...

I am just learning this song actually.

[jonahmoffatt]

nice sound . well done !

[Hardrod2]

You probably would sound a lot better with a GT-10 and add a noise suppressor

[xxRockst4r]

@Hardrod2 Multieffectprocessors sucks deepshit

[InFlam3sW3Trust]

Great job man! Best cover I've seen so far and I'm betting the best I will see.

[lle7]

is it me or the strings action seems to be incredibly low, how do you do that without string buzz?

[daveef1965]

hi dude... you're right the string action is really low... i adjusted the bridge on purpose... you can not hear any string buzz because i'm used to touch the strings very gently and you can see that in the video....

anyhow thnaks for the comment...

PS: I use d'Addario strings 0.09 to 0.42

keeep on rocking

[lle7]

with that string size, the tone sound good and thick. What kind of guitar and effects are you using to get that nice satch tone?

[daveef1965]

in that song i used Ibanez RG450 KORG MULTIEFFECTS AX300G - DIXON COMPRESSOR SUSTAINER.

But i was focused in distortion parameters and mid tones to get a satch-like sound...

Due to the gears i used that's the best i got...

keep in touch

[xxRockst4r]

string thickness has nothing to do with a thick sound

[ATRzakky]

i like ur cam but good work on the song im still workin on masterin my version

well done;]

[daveef1965]

[xGuitarplyr915]

Hey man I want to play this piece for the school talent show. What do you recommend for tone? I was told a compressor/sustainer. Anything else?

And what do you use for tone?

[RockstarEnergy37]

is there a camera mounted to the headstock?

[daveef1965]

yep

[RockstarEnergy37]

how? what kind of cam do you need?

[daveef1965]

I simply fixed it on the headstock .. it's a normal webcam... so no hi-tech is involved in... just pay attention at the focus and point of view... that's all

[Greenday134]

I heard about the law suit, viva la vida does sound very similar to this!

[megrox196]

[gasparmc]

it's good to see people studying hard on satch songs and doing great job. the tone you used just fits very well in the higher frets! congrats
