Master of puppets (one man band) era1004 - 6,500 views - 2 weeks ago
Just got a drumset a week ago and I'm loving it! It's the Alesis USB pro kit going through Addictive drums for the sound. I played all parts to Metallica's Master of Puppets solo. This vid was looong overdue, since I actually recorded everything about 3 months ago, but never got a vid from my drummer who i was gonna collab with, so I just decided to do my own drum part. Rate, comment, subscribe!

yea Joe Satriani and Steve Vai signed my guitar :)

Paz Na Terra era1004 - 5,258 views - 3 months ago
k so basically, I listened to this awesome song called Paz Na Terra by OzielZinho and loved it. Looked around and saw that there were like not many covers, and even the original vid has little views compared to it's awesomeness, so I decided to cover it. All the parts were made/played by me and I pulled them out by ears. I also just took the main melodies and then improvised everything else up cause it was easier than learning the song note for note. Please subscribe if you liked this vid and check out my others. Thanks

lol oh yea and one of the reasons I bought my guitar, the RG350dx, was cause OzielZinho used it.

heres his video

Chinese Democracy Cover (High Quality!) - Guns N' Roses era1004 - 40,112 views - 7 months ago
This is my own cover of Guns N Roses newest single from their album just released today, Chinese Democracy. There were no backtrackings so i had to make the backing track by myself.Once again this took a LOOOONG time to do everything... Without Slash, the whole band seems completely different... If I had a killswitch, I would have loved to do Buckethead's part in the solo, but I didn't so i just improvised. I basically improvised like the whole thing since the guitar parts aren't as interesting anymore without Slash to write up some crazy guitar solo that will go down in history.... oh well.

P.S everything you hear was made by me and I do not have any tabs since none were out and I had to transcribe all the parts by ear.

using a wah is insanely addicting...

** To answer some questions or to clear up confusion, I now use my PodXT live for my effects and my toneport for a recording interface. I dont use the effects on the toneport anymore but they are like the same as the PodXT. The wah i used was the "Chrome" wah on the Pod XT live

Fuschia Kimono (composition) era1004 - 13,454 views - 1 year ago
my 3rd composition, took me a loooooong time.. this was created with the song "Isabella" by OzielZinho, a great brazilian guitarist, in mind. i had wanted to change my style and add variation to my compositions since i had the habit of being too modal in my other pieces, so i decided to incorporate some minor progressions and melodies in my composition in a new style. at thet time, i had really wanted to create a song similar to his incredible piece, so i decided to transcribe his songs by ear and compose something along the way. if you like my videos, you could help me out by pressing the yellow "subscribe" button up top, and i would greatly appreciate it. please rate and comment, and better quality mp3 can be found on my myspace link below. thanks!

About Me: *NOTE* Sorry! I get quite a few private messages everyday and I can't answer all them. I mostly have time on weekends, but I will try my best to answer. In the mean time, try looking at the FAQ down below to see if I answered your question.

Hey there! My name is Owen and I'm a 15 year old musician here on youtube. I currently attend Torrey Pines High school and I've been playing guitar since June 21st, 2007. I also have been playing violin since I was a little kiddy, and play flute and percussion as well. DRUMLINE is just friggin amazing. As for sports, I always love new challenges. I run cross country, play basketball, and also do track. I will continue to upload new videos as the times come, and try to complete my compositions. I can only dream of being in Joe Satriani or Steve Vai's shoes, and will continue working hard. I love meeting new people, and continue to make new friends. Subscribers are cool too. They are the people who keep me going even through my tough times, and what keep me still going at the guitar.
