What an education YouTube can be. I was a big Zappa fan as a teenager and recognize lots of players that have been with him, but had not idea Vinnie played drums for him. I would never have recognized him either, but when you check his style, it's clear not many drummers alive today has his rep...

My goodness!! Wish I could have seen them live. Either one of them could melt your face off in their hey day - what a band of musicians.

YIKES!! A music A&R person's dream come true. What a package of beauty and talent. Good luck ladies - I'm a fan already.

Yeah, I suppose he's an "alright" guitar player - kidding. This guy can melt the face off just about anyone. I'm surprised he doesn't hurt himself with some of those licks - yikes!!!

Gianni looks bored! He needs an instrument to beat on. Now that he has his record deal I'm sure we won't be seeing a whole lot of "balcony sessions".

Wow! Linkin Park covering Adele - who would have thought. The power of great songwriting when a died-in-the-wool rock band covers a flash-in-the-pan pop artist. Good for Linkin Park - shows their range .....

New record deal with Columbia - good for Mr. Luminatti and company. Very talented group of musicians. You make us Canadians very proud. BTW, you can call Sarah "drop dead gorgeous" or whatever you want, but in the end, she's mostly a talented musician.

Really?? The song is not even strummed - it's finger picked! Where's the slide portion after the first verse? Where's the 7th notes of the first two chords of the verse? Where's the hammer ons and pull offs throughout? Try using a metronome for timing. Sure his songs are fairly easy to play,...

Try using your pinky for the 7th notes of the first two chords of the verse - makes the song sound much fuller (and it's the correct chords). The song is NOT strummed, but I guess you know that. Most folks strum this song because of their own limitations regarding finger-picking - and that's fi...

You need to use all four of your fingers for the chording - the pinky plays the 7th notes of the chords. At least you included "some" of the hammer ons and pull offs, as well as the slide portion - which most covers don't ever bother to include.

Your missing the 7th notes of the chords, as well as the hammer ons and pull offs. But your finger picking is pretty good though - and you actually hit the slide portion (which most covers don't bother to try - even though it's not that difficult). Vox is strong and thankfully in key. Well don...

Throw away the pick for Dallas Green songs, otherwise you'll never achieve the hammer ons and pull offs he uses in his tunes. Where's the slide portion after the first verse? No amount of vocal processing will help this cover if you don't sing the damn thing in key.

The song is originally done with capo at 2nd. Not sure why you're using capo at 3rd cause your vox is straining to keep up with the pitch. Moreover this is NOT a strumming song - it's finger picked and it's not that difficult (including the slide part). You have a good voice, try singing/playin...

Yikes, your tutorial is quite simplistic. All of Dallas Green's song are not at all difficult to play and this song is not different. If you want to play the song exactly like the original you need to practice lots of hammer ons on pull offs - Dallas is fairly clever at this. The slide part at...

Greetings from Canada by the way.

James Hetfield (of Metallica - for the few on the planet who don't know who he is) is said to have one of the most enviable right hand techniques for a guitar player. I say Mr. Hetfield has nothing on this woman. I'm surprised her right arm doesn't look like Popeye. I play a little (very little...

Talented AND creatively clever - deadly combination.

Interesting right hand technique, not sure if I've seen something like it before. Whatever works for you man - fantastic musicianship.

Yeah for sure, that door does not belong in this interview - very annoying. Very pretty girl, sounds like she's quite switched on.

OMG my pee pee just shrunk!! This guy is right up there with some of the best guitarists on the planet today - damn I wish I could catch this guy in concert.

Too funny - the proud papa showing off. I have one of these machines too (without the fancy joystick or electric start) and after years of using crappy equipment, this was some of the best money I ever spent. Hondas are expensive, but they are by far the best snowblowers you can buy.

Acoustically, the bathroom is best place in the house to record. Not sure what all the haters of this version are thinking. I played Tommy's version at a solo gig the other night and the crowd went nuts (I dunno, perhaps they were all nuts then). When I play this with the band and we have a bas...

Simon Phillips is as solid a drummer as there is in the biz right now. Tremendous musicianship between him and Pino.

I'm a guitar player and not a bass player, but even guitar players know Mr. Paladino. His credentials are beyond reproach - simply check out his resume. As bass players go, he is definitely the sh*t.
