Ewan Dobson - Paganini's Hip Cover

This is my cover of Ewan Dobson's "Paganini's Hip"! This song was a real strain on my abilities to play guitar because Ewan Dobson has just amazing technique and complex playing. I absolutely adore this song for its incredible speed and use of new techniques. I bought the tabs off of Candyrat.com and I feel that they were worth every penny! Please enjoy and as always, constructive criticism is welcome!

P.S. I apologize for the crappy video quality and the sound only coming out of the left speaker. I've been having a lot of problems with both my webcam and my microphone and I can't seem to get those fixed.

how many and what kind of finger picks are you using ?

[runlulurun]

@jacecrawford I'm only using a Dunlop large thumbpick. The rest of my fingers have the nails grown out.

Wonderful cover - And I especially like the 'Break' at 0:25, very stylish :-) By the way, have you tried playing 6am? Another fantastic piece from Ewans Selection.

Keep it up, all the best!

[runlulurun]

@shwiing89 Ah yeah...hehe, my head was itchy. So I figured I had about a half beat to take care of it or else it would've driven me crazy for the rest of the song. I haven't actually tried 6am yet. Been rather busy as of late.

Thanks for watching.

that was a really good take, I bet your glad you dont have to do it again xD

[runlulurun]

Heh thank you. To be honest I really like playing this song. Now, one song that I never ever want to have to film again is Don Alder's "Dr Dr". Now that is surprisingly hard to play.

Thanks for watching!

[davemustaine87]

wow man, just a great cover!

for how long did you practice until you were able to play this song?

[thejakeyboi]

Very well played man! This song is really difficult to play.

[gunderconk]

keep playin dude... thats freakin awesome... :D

[gerithebiker]

hey man, you should record it again with a well working equipment, because it is freakin' awesome! 

[GarretsShadow]

Considering how difficult Ewan's pieces are, you did a pretty amazing job on this. Definatly keep at it

Do you have that tab for this piece? If so I would be happy to exchange it for a tab that I have. I have Time and I Know Your Pain. Also Norym and Ziur by Maneli Jamal. I also have a few Antoine Dufour tabs (that can't be found anywhere online unless you buy them from candyrat)
