  • Hey buddy - great work. I just ordered that guitar I'll be getting it this week and can't wait. Coupla questions if u got the time.. What equipment r u using to get the most out of that tone you have? Also, I'm not a bad player, but I really wanna advance in that same style u excel in. So what advice can you offer if I'm looking to develop the kind of improv technique u have. I realise that question is broad, but I'd be grateful for your direction! What to study, how to model it etc...Cheers

  • @chaos4316 Thanks, I was playing through a hot rod deluxe amp using a boss looping pedal. I set the reverb to about 3. the bass at about 6/7 and treble/mid to 5. i use the rhythm pickup and put the tone to about 6/7 gives it a smoother tone. basically just listen to artists that you like and learn their songs/licks. for example listen to this song on where the light is and learn all the solo parts that john plays and use that when you play other songs. a good ear will help. good luck

see all

  • Wow, you are absolutely terrific, you almost have a Stevie Ray Vaughn type of style.

  • this is wicked man good job

  • one of the best covers ever!

  • @squatchy69 nice advice man !! thanks

    

  • You are great. I had a very stressful day and somehow found your videos on here and every things better now! Keep it up!

  • Good job man. Nice tone and good phrasing. I would only add that a little more space (silent) will cause the listener to enguage more. One thing I do is never play a phrase longer than you can physically yalk with out taking a breath. Let your axe breath a little. Not being critical here. I liked it and your good. One other thing that would enhance your sense of stride is to play both in front and behind a little bit to add tension/resolve. Wish we lived close to each other so we could jam :)

  • Great cover! Sick guitar! 

  • Pauly D?

  • i love this, dude! So smooth. I just bought this guitar also! Can't wait to fully break it in - the intonation needs tweaked a bit first, but other than that it sounded great right out of the box.
