Rocket Queen - Cover

[maci014]

You should make a tutorial how to transcribe songs like you do!

Well, after this many ppl wont buy your tabs anymore, but it would help lots of ppl :D

[gewerh44]

@maci014

you mean how to figure out songs by ear, right?

that cant be taught, you just have to use your ear.

[Abolivar320]

at 2:18 what is that thing you put on your finger called? do guitar shops sell them?

[gewerh44]

@Abolivar320

its a slide, you should find it in any guitar store.

[SamHammer91]

cual es la diferencia entre esta y la nueva version ? =)

[gewerh44]

@SamHammer91

la ecualización de las guitarras es mucho más preciso en el nuevo cover, chécalo para que te des cuenta :)

saludos!

[dandeen22]

how long did it take you to learn this song by ear?

[gewerh44]

@dandeen22

just a few days, its just it has a lot of details.

[gewerh44]

@canadianshit212

I figured it out by ear

thanks for watching!

[robban97swe]

What did the backing track costed?=) Couse I shall maybe upload a cover of the solo and can't decide if I should use free backing track or that one=P

[gewerh44]

@robban97swe

there is a free backing track available on the internet, but its really low quality and its made for the live version, which is considerable longer than the studio version.

[robban97swe]

@gewerh44 Ok:(

[GnRAlejo]

OMG!! exelente cover amigo el mejor que he visto!! suerte..

[gewerh44]

@GnRAlejo

gracias amigo!

[rxpaul]

Awesome....played with real feeling....that's how you play guitar!

[gewerh44]

@rxpaul

thanks :D

[litemc]

No fucking words. Bravo. So... rock and roll is still alive

[gewerh44]

@litemc

[xxxEnterSandmanXxX]

lol im sure yor girlfriend appreciated you saying...

"Too bad my girl couldnt help me on recording it for the cover xD... I didnt get lucky... too bad." lol!

but great cover man super job! love the sound of the slide guitar!

[gewerh44]

@xxxEnterSandmanXxX

thanks mate ;)

[MattPollitt09]

Totally lost for words, this is just brilliant.

[gewerh44]

@MattPollitt09

thanks my friend!

[ChristianND]

There is nothing that I can write you really express the admiration that I have for you.

EXCELLENT WORK!!!

[gewerh44]

@ChristianND

thanks my friend, youre very kind

[dbenmil]

HELL YEAH!!!! That's how you play guitar! Fucking brilliant!

[gewerh44]

thanks my friend!

[XxUndeniedxX]

Another friggen awesome version man, you have got skills my friend. Not only on the frets, but on the recording and mixing and the video editing also. Hope your doing something with all this talent.

One thing that youve really shown in your videos is something that Ive stated for years, as much as I love and admire Slash, Izzy Stradlin is one of the most UNDERRATED guitarists ever, hes got mad skills also.

[gewerh44]

youre right man, Izzy is one of the most underrated guitarists. Everybody looks up to Slash, but most people ignore some classic songs, riffs and some solos were Izzy's work.

[inktvip93]

This cover is really amazing!

I´m gonna cover this song with a band to.. I´m really excited of how it´s gonna work out =D

[gewerh44]

thanks my friend

have fun!

[b0nsc0ttr0ck]

sweet ending solo dude! that's what I'm trying to nail atm. One question, how did you get that awesome voice? Sounds exactly like Axl, but not exactly like the original version :P

[gewerh44]

thanks my friend

the voice is part of the backing track, I got it from rockmultitracks(dot)com

[jarek928]

cool

[gewerh44]

thanks for watching!

[Carmelableful]

damn it man, you rocked this song!

[gewerh44]

thanks mate!

[Hegonta]

Man.........i thought i knew how to play this song but i was SO WRONG. There are parts in that song i didnt even know existed. I would ask you for the tab, but i guess you probably play by ear.....Keep up the good work man, you rock

[gewerh44]

Im glad you liked it.

If you want, check out my new video about this song, its visually clearer and its got better audio.

I do play by ear and I write tabs.

Check out myspace

[candyman3108]

[DudeXMyster]

how the hell did you made the mysterious voodoo like sound in the intro O.o...the top right les paul was playing that part right?

[gewerh44]

thats right, its just delay and reverb effect working together :)

[daedgeman07]

Wow - this is easily the best cover of Rocket Queen on Youtube and one of the best out of any song. Great work mate. Love it.

[gewerh44]

thanks man, please check out my new video, an improved version of this song.

[sabbatallica]

[gewerh44]

[lpguitarsaregreat]

^^^nice LP^^^ :P

i have one just the same but with different inlays and pick-ups.

[gewerh44]

thanks man!

[narfire214]

if only you had a talkbox....

[gewerh44]

I would like to have a Talk Box effect, but I dont know why you say that.

You dont need that effect for this song.

[narfire214]

sorry for the confusion, in most live versions slash did a talkbox solo after the slide solo

[doogledrycleaners]

man your really good

[gewerh44]

thanks for watching!

[TeenageWitch13]

Sweeeet! :]

[gewerh44]

[gewerh44]

thanks man!

[ThePirateGuitar]

You are as awesome as always :D

Btw u prommised me a AcDc cover of for those about to rock earlier this year, where is it? ;(

[gewerh44]

thanks man

sorry, I have a lot of songs on my waiting list, and sadly, I cant cover them as fast as I would like :(

[smithyy01]

Can i ask if this song is hard...? I'm about to start it, but if it's too hard, I don't know whether i should do Civil War or Estranged. What is the easiest out of all of them..? I want to do Rocket Queen the most, but the other two i want to do as well.

Thanks

[gewerh44]

I think this is the easiest of these 3songs.

The only chanllenging part in this song is the fast part of the outro solo.

[fer3841]

que barbaro.. cada vez que escucho la segunda parte de lancion (3:30) se me pone la piel de gallina.. muy buen cover, felicitaciones.

[gewerh44]

a mi también me encanta la 2a parte de la canción :)

saludos!

[luizz17]

hey man can you tell me where did you get the tabs from this music, because i just can't get the fastest part from this solo, anyway good cover, you should start a band

[gewerh44]

thanks man, I figured it out by ear :)

[peku999]

Is that backing track in the right Gnr tune, so in Eb tuning? im too lazy that i'd take my guitar, so can you tell me? :) My ears tell me that youre playing in Eb, but they can be wrong too..

[gewerh44]

yes its in half step down.

thanks for watching!

[lucasparizzi]

HOLYSHIT!

Who is singing!??

[gewerh44]

thanks for watching!

I played guitars and used a Backing Track with vocals, drums and bass. I dont know the singer in the BT.

[gewerh44]

thanks, Im really glad you liked it :)

means a lot cuz this is one of the videos where I had more fun.

[Marko0190]

Where you found the singer?

He is awesome.

I can not find singer for tribute to Guns N' Roses !

[gewerh44]

thanks man, I appreciate it

but the singing is just part of the backing track. I got the backing track (drums, vocals, and bass) and I took care of the guitars.

[1MrSlash1]

oh and do you have any track of just the adriana smiths moans? cause im gonna plau this im a concert and it would be so cool to play the moans xD, if not oh hell, ill get a girl to play tha moans xD but i want them xD

[gewerh44]

no I dont have that part, I would have put that moaning in my video if I had it.

Maybe do what Axl did, get a girl and record the audio while you and she... LOL

and you'll get yourself a moaning track for your concert ;) its just an idea.

anyways, have fun! xD

[1MrSlash1]

lol you removing the slide very quickly xD

awesome cover :D

[gewerh44]

;) thanks man ;)

[jimmmy1page]

is the backing track from rock multitracks in standard like the rest?

[gewerh44]

yes, the backing track is from rockmultitracks, so my video says

the tuning is half step down

[ddsboyztwins]

[gewerh44]

haha naww I wouldnt do that xD

[ddsboyztwins]

haha jokes ;) rofl

[TeenageWitch13]

haha! this made me laugh :D

[gewerh44]

I wonder why ;)

thanks for watching!

[TeenageWitch13]

ddsboyztwins, commented and i replied to him... he said: why didnt you moan yourself. and so i said that made me laugh :D

[gewerh44]

haha now I get it ;)

[AntiRellik]

Truly awesome man... This cover is going into my cellphone so I can listen to it anytime =P Thanks! You and your videos are really appreciated!

[gewerh44]

[sixstarmw]

[gewerh44]

thanks man, youre very kind!

[cruzarcos]

Dude, seriously, I just ordered the G2.1u effects pedal because of your videos. I might be bothering a little for the next couple months! :)

[gewerh44]

no problem man, you wont regreat it.

Its the best option in its price range

[mike1235000]

What Amplifier you use ? Or what effect ?

BTW, Awesome cover, you'r realy good, i saw few vids of you.

Please reaply me, what Amplifier you use.

[gewerh44]

[mike1235000]

What Amplifier you are using ? or what effect ?

[gewerh44]

I used a Zoom G2.1u effects pedal only

thanks for watching!

[MAlshoaiby]

Put on a top-hat and form a GNR tribute band. You'd be the best for sure man! Been watching your videos all day, and I'm already learning a lot. =)

[gewerh44]

thanks man, I appreciate that ;)

[PowerfulPally]

Great video.

I'm looking for a patch similar to Slash's Appetite for Destruction sound for the Zoom g2 (songs like Rocket Queen, Nightrain, Anything Goes etc.)

You should do a cover of Anything Goes too :-)

[gewerh44]

thanks man, I will cover that one, sooner or later ;)

[DieAndThenCry]

Don't know what people will say about this but i think this is beter then the original XD

[gewerh44]

[gewerh44]

[Frasselita]

Best thing ive seen in weeks. awesome cover! good voice on the backing track too!.

BTW! how do you get that special bend-sound at the outro of the Chorus? 1:26.

It will be helpful for everyone trying to cover this as good as you

[gewerh44]

thanks, glad you liked it

thats a pinch harmonic with vibrato

check out a video lesson on pinch harmonics if you dont know the technique :)

I recommend "rockongoodpeople"'s video lesson on this subject

[Jamies2111]

[gewerh44]

thanks for watching!

[elsat90]

izzy's part are the base of this song!

[gewerh44]

you got that right, Izzy's playing stole the first middle of the song, its so cool.

[HelloMrYang]

hi,buddy,I found you always used your little finger to catch the 5 chord. Is that right ways? I think you are a great guitar player!

[gewerh44]

thanks my friend,

I learnt playing guitar watching other guitarists (page, slash, etc), and I learnt several things from them, but I also had to figure out things by myself.

I like using my guitar very low, ala Jimmy Page, and that way, its better to use the index and pinky fingers to make the 5th position chords :) I got used to that, so I always use those fingers even if Im sitting down. Besides I like grabbing the whole neck when Im playing ;)

[axeloma]

how is called the thing in your fourth finger to do the 2:17 to 2:57?

[gewerh44]

its a Slider

[aledalgogu]

oooooo myy gooooood,your perfect, that was amazing my friend,for you now i know how to play this song,thank you very much wow!!
