A Flock of Seagulls - I Ran - Cover Part Deuce

[elfhermie]

@ToolsnFire If you seriously think a cover song should be deleted due to a guy playing it the old fashioned way without using a delay effect because he doesn't have one, then there's no sense in trying to reason with you. Anybody who wants to learn this song from this guy's videos can simply watch for the notes and chords, which are all very accurate, and then use a delay pedal on their own for the sections that call for one. Simple.

[ToolsnFire]

Dude, this is crap, to the extreme. Delete this video, and learn the song. Unbelievable. And get a delay effect, and know how to use it.

[elfhermie]

@ToolsnFire If you think guitar playing is about using pedals and effects, why not just use a keyboard to make music. This guy has no delay pedal so he improvises as best he can. The rest of the parts are great. Who but a petty fool would give a rat's behind that he's not using a delay? Learn from him and use your own delay pedal for yourself to play it more authentically if you wish. "Delete this" free video that nobody has to look at if they don't want? Man, people are tools today.

[ToolsnFire]

@elfhermie you are the epitome of supporting lameness on youtube.  Delete your account.

[Nanpiper]

damn.....you are good......LIKE!!!!

It's probably pretty simple but how do you do the "bird" sounds in the beginning of "I Ran"? What effects would I use? Can you show a short video of that? Thanks!

[KarlMarkis]

@caddood The bird sounds are created by pick scraping on different parts of the E, A, and D strings. I don't have access to a camera anymore, but there are some videos already on youtube for how to pick scrape, and once you have the technique down, just try it on different parts of the E-A-D strings near the bridge.

hey i have a line 6 spider 3 amplifier, which settings do you think i should use to get the right tone for this song?

[chillipickle3]

very very good effort,well done

[imnotrudy]

Good cover!

Just a note: I was reading some of the comments and noticed people laughing at the fake delay. I believe a good guitarist makes the best out of what they have. Heck, some of the best guitarist start off with the crappiest guitars/equipment but they turn that disadvantage into what makes their style and sound unique. Keep on playing Karl! Once again, great cover!

[KarlMarkis]

@imnotrudy thanks for the support homeboy.

[TheBushido878]

How much is this guitar Karl ??

[KarlMarkis]

@TheBushido878 I got it for $400 two years ago, but it was because of a sale and the fact strats were cheaper back then. They cost $500 today if you buy new, and I've noticed with Mexican Strats that if you buy them new rather than used, then as long as you test out 20-30 of them until you find the perfect one, they can be as solid quality as a $1000 American Strat. Go for a new Made in Mexico Strat, they are fucking awesome!

[TheBushido878]

@KarlMarkis Thank you.

[jas22]

hey - nice job! where did you get the tab or sheet music?

[KarlMarkis]

@jas22 I created a video lesson on how to play this! I learned the song by ear and watching the band play, so I don't have tabs, but my video tutorial should show you everything.

[mutantjemx]

Nice



[Horrorshow655321]

Ever heard of delay? I'll let you borrow my real Strat and Korg effects processor.

[KarlMarkis]

@Horrorshow655321 I support myself, so I don't have the leisure to waste money on guitar effects or more expensive strats. Just repeating notes to mimic delay/echo is funny and does the job, and my strat is a real strat, just a cheap one.

[sacdom1121]

@KarlMarkis

Yeah, as soon as you started the faux-delay strumming, I couldn't stop laughing. :P

[TheMoPsico]

why aren't you using an echo effect?

[KarlMarkis]

@TheMoPsico because that would cost money. Money I don't have lol.

[guitarlord61]

what kind of guitar are you using?

[KarlMarkis]

@guitarlord61 I only use the finest $400 made in mexico stratocasters lol.

[connorgow]

It's all standard tuning, right?

[KarlMarkis]

@connorgow yea the song's in standard tuning, you gunna learn the song?

[connorgow]

@KarlMarkis Yeah, I just started guitar like a few months ago. I have the intro down though. Awesome strat!

[KarlMarkis]

@connorgow yea thanks I am obsessed with red

[aflockofmusic2]

that was almost played correctly, but you can tell your really not a good guitar player yet it's really "choppy", some of the notes are off, and timing is off, but you'll get the hang of it just keep practicing. One day you'll be really good.

[KarlMarkis]

@aflockofmusic2 Thank you for telling me I am not a good guitar player yet because I play this very choppily. Thank you for your criticism of my timing. Much appreciated.

[ToolsnFire]

@KarlMarkis delete your account. You gotta accept genuine criticism constructively, or eliminate your self.

[miscreantV0n]
