Kings of Leon - Use Somebody - Electric Guitar Cover with Solo

My version (threw in some of Jared's and Caleb's parts) of how to play a lead electric guitar cover of Use Somebody by Kings of Leon. Gibson ES-137, MXR Compressor, Fulltone OCD, Boss RV-5 Reverb, slight Korg SDD-3000 delay into a 1993 Vox AC-30 amplifier w/ blue bulldogs. Sorry bout the mistakes, Enjoy!

@MrHuntarx Thanks!!!

[ddsgolfedge]

Thanks everyone for the kind comments, y'all are too nice. A lot of people are asking for tabs - I'm sorry but I don't have any. I learned this song by listening to it and watching Matthew on live performances. My teacher always told me (and most will agree) the best way to learn a song is to take the time to figure it out yourself instead of going straight to tabs. There's just something about that process that makes you a better player. Again, sorry I don't have any!

yo that was an amazing cover. can you possibly tell me what pedals you are using? especially for the overdiven/distorted sound of matthews guitar, and is it just clean when playing calebs part? thanks alot.

[ddsgolfedge]

@greglfc123 Sorry, the overdrive is turned on in addition to the distortion for the solo.

[greglfc123]

@ddsgolfedge thanks alot mate, i'm definately going to invest in a fulltone ocd because of this. is your amp on clean with just the pedals is it?

[ddsgolfedge]

@greglfc123 You'll like the OCD for sure. Yep, the Vox AC30 has a brilliant channel but no dist. switch. The louder you turn it up, the more the sound breaks up; pretty much what Vox's are known for.

[ddsgolfedge]

@TheMaxAltitude Thanks!! Nah, it's a picture of JC :)

[BraveMavrick]

Pretty good! nice tone, and well done for by ear. If I can give you some advice, work on your timing, you were a little ahead of yourself on a few parts.

Nice guitar!

@ddsgolfedge i actually try to sound it out and i compare what i learn against tabs afterwards to see which one fits better when playing along.

[SlickNick5000]

@ddsgolfedge I know! Except I learned to play "The Immortals" when I saw them live, and it's even 10X more badass when they play "Velvet Snow" in freaking 2011 in America (never thought I'd see a YandYM song live). I was just totally focused on what Caleb was playing, because I really couldn't find any clear videos

[ListenToKimmi]

i learned to play this song off rocksmith no joke

i hoping to find some blink182 songs to learn

[terukitaa]
