Got that eg112 for a cheap price, so i'm just curious that did you do something to your guitar, like put your strings higher, adjust something or something like that to get to play songs like that with it. I mean, it's not the best guitar there is :D

[rckrdude07]

haha yea but the guitar was just stock. For strings, I used 9' ernie ball slinkys. Also I lowered the tension a little bit to make it easier to play. Its really not a bad guitar though except for the two single coil pickups which are noisy as hell (the humbucker is good though and is the only one I use) and next to no sustain.

Rckrdude...First of all, kudos on your playing. I'm 51, and I have rheumatoid arthritis...but I promised myself that I would learn to play before this bitch of a disease kills me. I have the same guitar, I put Ernie Ball 2223 Super Slinky's on it to make it easier on my fingers. I'm picking with Fender mediums and scored an String Master Robotic tuner...you have inspired me to continue. I do a music show on Ubroadcast...perhaps I can have you co-host with me sometime...keep up the great play'n!

WoW thanks man. Inspiring someone with my videos means a lot to me. Great to hear ur keeping at it regardless of your physical condition. That's a good beginner's guitar and it seems ur well on your to playing. Hit me up if u need some help with playing or the Ubroadcast thing. I'd be glad to work with you.

In my opninion a stunning performance! Not really the van halen tone, but you played greatly!

i have an eg112 just like that. but mine broke, the input jack snapped from the wires. this is the 2nd time to but this time wasn't an accident. first time i just left the patch in and the guitar fell over and broke cost $30 to fix. this time i looked inside and they weren't torn they were cut with wire cutters, i can tell. and since i just moved to a new city i have no idea were the nearest music store is, so im gonna buy a soldering iron and put it back me self.

really kick ass cover with the backing track, gives better representation of your guitar skills if you were actually playing with a live drummer

[projector7676]

nice work,but from 0:38 guitar is out of tune and it is hard to listen.Next time use better guitar with decent trem system;)

Гитара расстроеная, а так прикольно сыграно.
