  • what tab do you use?

  • i don't really use a specific tab. i seem to always disagree with most of them. for this song i figured most of it out myself, save the harder parts.

  • Nice job... guitar sounds a little out of tune... wish your camera caught the audio better. The hammer-on part is all on the 'A' string starting on the 12th fret, then pulling off to the 7th, 4th, OPEN, hammering-on the 4th, 7th, 12th... repeating that again... with your right hand pointer finger hammering-on the 12th fret sliding up to the 14th fret and sliding back down to the 12th fret and pulling off to the 7th fret. Hope you get that part... good luck.

  • wow hey thanks for that! I've always thought the way i did it sounded wrong. I'm using a digital camera for now, so sorry for the crap audio.

  • It's obvious you can play it but for the love of God tune up before you record!! Injustice has been served...

  • Nice guitar but please tune it

  • how long have u had this for, if u want to sell this guitar just let me know?

    cheers

  • @drdezz I tend to agree with you about the tab books out there. I've seen tons of tab written music and see the actual artist play it totally different. For the most part, they do help out if you get stuck on a particular lick or phrase. But the way, is that a project guitar you make yourself or a Mean Street guitar or Ed Roman kit? Looks pretty awesome!

  • Needs work!

  • i LOVE that axe. i keep thinking 26 year old Eddie is going to burst out of your closet and ask for his guitar back

  • You played it nicely. BUT! I hate that there's always a but and guys startet hated me for being real.

    The guitar is out of tune and the tone on the intro is kinda crappy. But you still played it well.

  • Would be epic if it was in tune and there wasn't much fuzz.

  • Turn your volume knob on the guitar down a bit to clean up the sound. Eddie NEVER had it all the way up at 10.

  • @Lilrocker5150

    Or re wire the guitar properly I personally think he needs a tuner

  • thats pretty damn good for not using a trans trem

  • buy a noise gate
