Try singing in a lower octave coz I kinda find from 2:21 onwards, you're trying to emulate Kiefer's voice - that won't do. Kiefer, Lani Jane & especially Sebastian Bach are a no-no to try. They're legends coz it's 2nd nature to them! You can do it! Just be yourself & sing with soul, like the intro & you'll ace it! Salute your guitar-playing man! Peace!

One thing nobody realizes is that I was *not* using my falsetto, either here or on the Skid Row. That was the problem, actually. I was trying to hit the part with my real voice and that's why it didn't work. I can actually hit those notes very easily if I did use my falsetto, which can reach soprano ranges (see "The Phantom of the Opera").

I'll give you a constructive criticism - you're no Kiefer, but well @ least you're original. Thumbs up! Really, that's good enough to melt any girl, seriously man.

But about not taking negative criticism... well, you snap back like a raging dragon! Chill, amigo - Rock'n'Roll is all about ATTITUDE. Be hot, but not hot-headed. I'm Asian bro, so this ain't some racist attack. CHILL man! Keep rockin'!!!

There is a major difference between constructive criticism and plain old trolling. I don't mind reasonable statements like yours. I mind when people put down ignorant statements like "All vibrato sucks" or criticize anything that didn't sound like the original recording (eg. when I changed the riff to "Gimme Shelter").

Hey Derek..Good Job.....umm..I got a question on the intro...First..wow..I've never seen it being played without the pointer finger..interesting...is it more comfortable? Also, the tail end of the intro where there is that last high note on the first string..I've seen some examples where they actually play it on the first string 4th fret..I can't see where you play it, but I would rather play your version...could you tell me or show me or send me a message for the intro tab?

[derekmok]

@lordweird If you want to sound like the record, this video isn't the way to play it. I had transcribed it with a 6-string acoustic, so I hadn't realized the droning high strings were often the B and G octaves from a 12-string. The real chord shapes should be: G - 300033 Cadd9 - x32033 Dsus2/F# - 2x0230 Pick this pattern on all chords, shifting the bassline: ________x_______ __________x_____ ____x___________ __x___x_________ ________________ b___________b_b_

Nice guitar playin' but singing is very William Hung style...

[BalladOfLAGuns]

Great job, man! Check out my cover of this song...not nearly as good as yours. I can't sing as well as you can. You're not Kiefer, but you made it your own, and the guitar playing is tight. Keep rockin', brother!

what a wierd left hand style ^^
