Whats the song's name that starts at 2:05 ?

[Weston1217]

@LopacoSty It's a song I made up like 4 years ago. Listening back to it now, it sounds like crap. haha

thank you soo much for uploading this ! I love this guitar but I wasnt sure if it could cope with with hard rock and metal, now I know it will ! just one question, could this guitar do any funk ? as a huge red hot chili peppers fan I really need to know :P

[Weston1217]

@iConverseMyLife I love RHCP and play them all the time on this or my Strat. Sounds great!

[Weston1217]

@01Lolocaust10 I was going to write a legitimate response but then I saw your name was a holocaust pun and I decided "fuck it".

@beebuzzleable This is the best, most level headed comment I think I've ever read on youtube. The fact that some people think there are rules(?) to music makes me think they just don't get it. To say you can't use this guitar for a genre of music is like telling an artist they can't use the color blue in a painting. If it works it works.

First of all, I'll use my guitar however the fuck I want, second it was built to play "hardcore" genres, hence the pickups that came with it

I don't know what you're using for your drive, sounds like the amps gain... but you should check out some OD pedals like a dirty little secret, ocd, tim, or even an M13 is a great multi effects unit.

Hows it stay in tune? I heard Gibson cheaped out on this one...however i love the tones.

[PUIALALI]

By the way...how much feedback can one expect from an es339 given it's smaller body size?

[PUIALALI]

did not really like the music but BIG thumbs up for not playing the standard stuff you hear when watching demos of semi-hollows. Thanks again.

[jsrnash12]

So playing Sweet home is bad and Blink 182 is good? haha sir your dum!

[Cold42Play]

awesome vid, dont get me wrong i like the blues but im sick of seeing the exact same video of some guy playing the blues on a (semi)hollowbody...i get it the guitar can play the blues, i wanna see what else it can do, thanks for the review!
