Guys, can you move this banter somewhere else? I'd appreciate it.

Thanks

[Watthiman]

If you posted for honest FB, then you should no that you've got a ways to go. The opening riff is not played with hammer ons, you have to pick each note individuality to get the phrasing and feel right. Also the opening riff is missing the F# and G notes played on the low E string .. like this, Banana na na F# na na G na na banana na na and as TatsDragon7 said, it's just bar chords not major thirds when you play the C,C#,D.

In addition you have the notes wrong. Its not D, E, D, F#. It's D,E F F#

[mpesta]

Watthiman and TatsDragon7,

I really appreciate your feedback and agree with your suggestions. I should redo this clip or maybe even take it down so others don't copy it. The only reason I don't is that your information would help people to get to the right thing.

Thanks again guys, I appreciate your expertise.

Mike

first 4 notes are wrong, it's all picked back and forth and notes 2 3 and 4 are chromatic.

[mpesta]

Thanks for your comments. I start the chromatic part the 3rd time through like Eddie does. Take a listen.

[itcantbeso]

What are the first 4 notes, I still can't tell ?

[mpesta]

D, E, D, F#.

Play it on the 4th string (D) open, 2nd, open, 4th then right into the A Maj chord.

Hope this helps,

Mike

@Watthiman man just fukk the shut up will ya goofball,this guys plays it fine and unlike you he actually post his playing<where are you guitar playing videos loser?

[SkyNett]

These guys are right - this has a bunch of mistakes and sounds lame.

[Gonz216]

While Watthiman has a rough way of saying it, what he/she speaks is the truth. You are playing the intro incorrectly. You have a good sense of rhythm, but this is not done correctly. He/she even broke down the correct notes for you. It is not pulled off until it is repeated a third time. The fourth time is picked as well. Be sure and pick those notes, guy.

Keep practicing. You are well on your way.

i agree they shud move this arguement somewhere else mpesta

[igknightus]

dought my education...then what exactly do you think? I am just some ignorant ass hole who does not know a damn thing....my spelling sucks true..i have never had good grammer..we all have our flaws...But dont be a fool and think I am not educated....I do go to college and have a good gpa.

[Watthiman]

You are a walking contradiction. You say "Education is a door to vast posibilties" and than suggest I should let him play the wrong notes in the word sequence. Do you even grasp the contradiction?

I also doubt your education as your spelling and grammar are atrocious.

[igknightus]

this being said you should be more critical of your actions not his. you are the only responsible for yourself/ not responsible for this guy/. Leave him be.

Just listen enjoy him if possible and go about yoru way...now if it were deathly out of tune or 99% wrong I would understand...but if i close my eyes, and I have verry verry good ears...I do not hear that much a difference.
