[Diabolik95555]

[BigCowz]

@Diabolik95555 I just played over the audio i downloaded from rob marcello's youtube video. I dont think there is a backing track available yet.

[jimmyleppard6]

[slipknotpapamaiden]

greaaaat cover!!! please tell me how can i get that rob's tone!!!! i have a BOSS GT-10....

[BigCowz]

@slipknotpapamaiden eRm.. just listen to his tone and try and emulate it but first learn about tone shaping. (i recorded this with a Pod xt live)

-Vic

[catshumpcats3]

@slipknotpapamaiden slipk not really papa "cock roach and then iron fucking maiden \m/ only for maiden

[vheadfacelegs]

definitely either pre recorded or fake

[Midnight11Mayhem]

Jesus christ ur insane!

[Utubesuxmycock]

fake

he wouldnt ever have the discipline to play this song

let alone learn the technique

[Gnomercii718]

kid u have wayy too much time on your hands that was..wow..as a guitarist i think i might just quit..well if ive been playing for 2 years nd i can nail king diamond and death solos is that good progression?asking bigcowz directly.

[BigCowz]

@Gnomercii718 Well in this video i was 16 and have been playing for 2 years or so.. so i guess you could make an assumption from that, however music isnt about comparing your skill to someone else.

-Victor

[LedZeppelinFanGirl]

I could play that aswell D:.. Nah. Victor rocks. :D

[TheNachoFox]

mira para lo dificl q es lo isiste re sarpado

[nukedapanda]

Wow. you took a hard song and made it look harder xD

Seriously, Rob somehow makes the song look. You make it look real.

5/5 (even if i can hear your mistakes lol)

[sunnyjim98]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

your awesome playing has earned the very first rating i ever gave to ANY video!!!

And it was 1 star!!!! MWUAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!

just kidding lol 5 stars!!!!!!!

[BigCowz]

Lmao, cruel words... oh wait 5 stars cheers :)

[ferociouspokemachine]

I don't know why this video is rated 4 stars on average....

[Leit0]

@ferociouspokemachine its kinda out of time sometimes, it would be cool to hear it w/o the backing of the actual song, some mistakes... bleh

i loved it anyway!

[ferociouspokemachine]

He's a human being, there are always little mistakes here and there. You can't ask for more than this, it's a complete shredfest by frickin Rob Marcello, shred God.

[Leit0]

@ferociouspokemachine and i cant do this good either, but it was just my take on why he's 4 stars. hope u understand!

[joeybones4]

how could someone 20x better than Jimi Hendrix not see his unworthiness? you're wicked good, how long have you been playing for?

[BigCowz]

Jimi hendrix has no chance of being as good as me for a start he died decades ago and there wasnt the resources available that there our today... like i said stop comparing guitarists from different era's in time.

[joeybones4]

you're comparing them too,

you are the one who posted the forum

ya hypocrite

obviously, I know that he couldn't be cuz of the time period. The point is that YNGWIE IS A LOT BETTER THAN HENDRIX, so I'm right.

I really don't understand everyone's obsession with Hendrix.

Sure he invented new methods and pushed influence on to others,

but so did Chuck Berry, Bob Dylan, Eddie Van Halen, Beethoven, Mozart, etc.

so what makes hendrix special?

[BigCowz]

Ok your statements completely contradict what you said before, so im just gunna end it on this.... you will never know how hendrix is special because you dont have the mind in which to do so, also ive gathered that you just like to flame about people who you think are "overated" as it says on your channel description, it sounds like you are trying to make some kind of cult, i know there are many people that are un-fairly overated but Hendrix BY FAR isnt one of them!

[joeybones4]

you aren't getting the last word in this yet,

how do my statements contradict what I said before? I'm pretty sure that I stuck to what I said throughout this.

[BigCowz]

You are comparing guitarists, it doesnt matter how good or fast someone can play.... but especially when comparing guitarists from different era's you have to take into account which decade or era they are from. you might wanna check back at some of the comments on the forum aswell, anyone in the right mind has to think your a hypocrite.

[joeybones4]

how the hell does that make me a hypocrite? and how the fuck am I contradicting myself?

I stuck to what I said and I never said otherwise, by mentioning different eras you are just making another point which I never disagreed with

[almostam97]

pwnd

[SPAZTIK1494]

dude if u have the time can u put up a tutorial or sumthin coz there are no good tutorials anywhere.... ps u r fkn amazing

\,,/(0.o)\,,/

ROCK ON!!!

[liverspreader]

great dude 5/5

[rebrules]

damn i guess no matter how good you get you always gotta put in time haha

[BigCowz]

No shortcuts my friend.

[BigCowz]

But now i think about it, 45 hours is probably max i spent not average, average would probably be 20 hours a week.

[rebrules]

so would you say 2-3 hours a day would be good? ya im not sure if im good enough. but maybe its just time i need and not more technical skills.

[BigCowz]

Yeh that would be good enough, i learnt sweep tapping whilst learning this song.

[rebrules]

well then i should have a little bit of a head start. ive been learning sweep tapping things since 2 yrs ago. i guarantee it wont be easy though lol

[rebrules]

you said it took a month. how often did you practice it through that month?

[BigCowz]

not sure... about 45 hours a week probably

[vaffangaul]

Great job dude!...but....BE QUIET!! you're fster than rob!!! XD it's a paradox!1 :P

[MusicMan2295]

Hey dude thats amazing, whats the program your recording into?

[BigCowz]

I cant remember that programme, but i now use reaper, its free and it can do basically everything if you want to just record guitar.

[MusicMan2295]

Sickk howd you get it for free, it says after 30 days you have to get a license

[BigCowz]

Nah even though it says that its still free, you just have to wait 5 seconds everytime you load it unless u buy a license. The evaluation time is unlimited on it.

[MusicMan2295]

Ohh ok thanks dude :]

[danboyguitar94]

best cover on you tube hands down :)

[Newmicon]

Well done!

[BigCowz]

Ty :)

[Newmicon]

That looks insance

[corratecxverts01]

fake...

[BigCowz]

Lol i cant believe you think its fake, thanks for inflating my ego :)

[CircleOfFifz]

this is definitely not fake. it you hear closely, he's not exactly in sync with Rob's playing on a few parts.

and to the uploader of this vid: good job.

[theperfectcell6]

can i ask where u got the mp3?

[BigCowz]

Just "ripped" it from the original video by rob marcello :)

Thanks.

[theperfectcell6]

ohhh okayyy

yeah good job forgot to mentionn haha :D

[iTzMattz]

Nice! You may want to re-record it using Guitar Pro as the backing track.

[2JOEROSS]

were can i found the backing tracks. want to learn it

[BigCowz]

I didnt use a backing track cause there wasnt one at the time... maybe there is now?

[MastaHedgehog]

this is bob copy and paste bob and he will soon take over youtube

[schecterman123]

not all 110% there, but probably better than i could do so :P

[cdfcore]

good fuckin cover man u nailed that

[yoeasypunk]

I guess you had to sell your soul to get those skills huh? This is an amazing cover. Not many players go above and beyond with their playing like this.

[Malevolus68]

sorry but you like quite gay on this video, maybe that crossed legs do part of it:)

[RoGuExXxAsSaSiN]

well if havent noticed Rob Marcello plays seated with his legs crossed and no one calls him gay so whats the big deal huh

[LarsJohann]

wow, you just slaughtered an amazing song. Nice work.

[miguell2106]

nice cover

[BigCowz]

Thanks dude :)

[simonpvo2]

dude i most say your amazing i started playing guitar 3 months ago ive already nailed some sick solo but nothin compared to this. Tell me did your guitar skills got improved after learning this song?

[BigCowz]

Well you dont realy notice improvement until you look back at how you've played before, learning is in very slow stages and theres segments where you realise you play better.

-Victor

[simonpvo2]

how long time have u played for before you was trying this crazy song?

[simonh2k7]

fuckin hell it pisses me off when people accuse..great cover man it is a really difficult song to learn ;) well done

[XGr69locki]

You are cheating 2 much notes dude!!!!

Everybody can hear it.............

[BigCowz]

Im not cheating, i learnt this song note by note.

[tkhrmiz2010]

stop using your computer for playing guitar that will be explose your sound card. anyway you play great i like it; and that a great song from rbert marcello. good luck and stay metal

[notuern]

The video feels really sped up.

Not saying that you are cheating, its just the way the video feels.

[BigCowz]

The video is not sped up one bit.

[notuern]

Didnt mean that either. :P

It just looks sped up, but if it was, the guitar would have sounded like shit.

Pretty nice, but you still need some practice. ;P

[BigCowz]

Thanks for your understanding but when writing comments please dont accuse someone of speeding up a video.

[notuern]

I never did.

I said that it felt like you had, not that you did.

A matter of interperating my comment.

[XGr69locki]

Is that a Ibanez RG 1570???

[BigCowz]

Ibanez RG2620E CBK Prestige

[segiperkasa]

I think this song is about 10 times harder than cannon.. So much sweeping, tapping, key variations diminishing tone and everything...

I must respect who can cover this song...

[metalhead77479]

could be a little better but this is a pretty good considering how hard the song is

good job

[PowerMetalCore]

It's because I have it too!!!!!!!!

[Anarchaoticstem]

Great job! Now for Insomnia ;P

[PowerMetalCore]

I see you have cool edit pro....ahahahahahah

[BigCowz]

I also have adobe audition, unfortunatley i cant get it working with my pod xt :( But thanks for the comment ! :D

[FenderCustomShop]

wow a month to learn? ive been trying for a month just to get the first lick. how long u been playing?

[TruNikkaz]

you're even crossing your legs like marcello

lol, not perfect but i gave it 5 stars

[BigCowz]

Yeh its ''easier'' to play whilst crossing ur legs :D

[TruNikkaz]

indeed

this is prolly the best marcello cover on the net

most people fail at it

[catpry]

Very true, to play neoclassical metal you need to cross your legs for optimum speed

you won't learn that from any tab

[malmsuite1001]

Great Job!!! by the way can you send me your tab of Cannon Rock?? I love that cover of yours

[14Jordan1994]

WOW That was so amazon 5/5

[BigCowz]

Thanks for the comment :D
