@@That_one_guy8764 I agree. I liked their new song a lot. Though not sure how I feel about them playing older songs Chester sang. Either way, you’re absolutely right. They clearly got someone very different from Chester which seems like they’re not trying to copy or replace him. They’re just moving on to a new era and we’ll see in time how we like it. Personally I’m hopeful for their future as a band. Though I found out their drummer left and their guitarist will be involved in the studio but not tour with them live.

Thanks brother! Excited to do more songs with this. 😁

@@JMTrucking1417 You can tell me I’m playing it too slow, it’s possible I am since I played without a backing track or metronome (though idk how you could definitively determine that without a metronome to compare side by side) but age has literally nothing to do with speed…that’s just nonsensical. James Hetfield isn’t young but he’s got plenty of metal speed output.

Thanks, I listened to another cover and could prob improve on it. I learned this on request from a follower but only had about half hour to learn it so did my own take on it I suppose. :)

@@rocktorrocks you missed a couple of chords in one part and seriously need to speed up your down picking. Especially if you're trying to cover the Metallica version....

@@kabal6331 Thanks! Good eye! Yup, I got to see them with Motley Crue in Boston. It was one of the last shows before Mick retired from touring so I was glad I got to see them.

Thanks brother! From the old tiktok days haha.

@@salferreira7994 Thanks man! I’ll have to give that a listen! I didn’t know a lot of their stuff but was impressed by this. Some cool guitar stuff in their songs.

@@LOVENISH10 Indeed! One of my favorite sounds.

@@up_and_comeing_music_artist Thanks! 🤘😁

@@fedir_sh My pleasure! Really glad you liked it and appreciate you watching. Cheers! 🤘

Thanks! Indeed! It’s a lifelong addiction. 😎

@@rocktorrocks Good to see you using the middle position on pickup selector.. Most get it wrong and use the Bridge pickup...At Madison Square in 1973, Rock and Roll has a different tonal balance to Celebration Day . R&R= middle... Celebration Day= Bridge pickup.

Thanks so much! Glad you liked it!

Thank you so much! Appreciate the kind words and support as always. Cheers!

@@dantonio1 Bass is a guitar. 😉 J/k I tried tagging Alex too but no tags popped up for him.

@@pompei.musicteacher Haha well said man! If I given the option, I think most of us would choose a Gibson. However, I still adore my Epiphones and truly enjoy them. Your Epiphone sounds amazing in your videos.

Indeed! I got to try the player II strat the other day and man it was tempting to bring it home haha. Lots of Fender excitement!

Wow! The early 70s ones seem even more rare these days. Glad to hear it’s still with you after all these years. Always more valuable when you put the hours and work in to get the guitar too.

@@hushpuppykl Nice! And what a cool memory with Slash! If it’s easy to swap back, might be worth trying out the 57 classics. I feel like Gibson doesn’t make a lot of guitars with the 57 classics these days so it’s nice to see them get used.

@@rocktorrocks … Slash is not the same off stage, he’s pleasant and soft spoken. No cussing even. 🤣😂

Haha good call man, I should totally sport one. I just got a Marshall guitar stool to sit & play on. 😅

@@yellowcat1310 I think I usually prefer warmer pickups too. Thanks for watching!

For sure! I had all their albums growing up when I was learning to play. The variety of musical styles, emotion, and skill level that not just one but all four members could produce was truly something special. Jimmy Page was a huge influence for me as a guitarist too.

Wow! Thanks so much! Truly appreciate the kind words. Happy I could do such an awesome riff justice. Cheers! 🤘

Hey! Apologies for the late reply. Can I ask which time in the video you saw the extra note? I can double check. Best advice I have is to break down the solo into very small sections and learn it that way. If one part is difficult, break it down into an even smaller part and go from there. Hope that helps!

Thanks so much! Glad you liked the video. Yup! Since the Les Paul studio has the 498T/490R pickups which are the very same pickups in current Les Paul Customs I feel they are tonally similar. The ebony fretboard further adds to the Les Paul Custom feel and aesthetics. Though there are still differences like the body being slightly thinner I feel like they’re quite similar. In terms of woods, rumor on forums I’ve read mentioned the early 90s models had maple necks much like the 70s Norlin Les Paul Customs too though this isn’t something I’ve officially seen confirmed.

​@@rocktorrocks ... my '91 definitely has a mahogany neck. A bit of the paint got worn from hanging it up.

Congrats and happy new guitar day! I couldn’t agree more! 😎

Not really. Most of the details and specs I went over apply to all the recent models just the same and the few differences (e.g. CTS pots on current Epiphones & IBG CS models having one piece necks & Gibson pickups) I made a point to mention. If you noticed any incorrect specs or something I got wrong in the video certainly let me know. I also intentionally kept many of the comparisons more generalized since specs vary not just by year but also by model. This way what I went over should apply to most Epiphones over multiple years.

Happy to share! Appreciate your kind words as always and thank you for checking it out. You’ve been a great support from the start. 😎

@@rocktorrocks Thank you so much friend❗❗👍👍 本当にありがとうございます😍😍

Thanks! Rock on friend! 🤘😁

Thanks brother! 🤘😎

You're welcome!

Hey! Thanks so much! Glad you liked it. Yup! A Les Paul standard 60s in triburst. I believe mine is a 2020 model.

Hey! I got these from a Fender event at one of my local music stores. If you see any Fender sales events that mention some giveaways they might have these.

Haha right?! I feel like G is the problem child among the 6 guitar strings. 😅

Well said! I couldn’t agree more! I feel like the Norlins got an unnecessarily bad rep just because they were so different from their 50s predecessors. Yet, as you said so many legendary artists rocked Norlin Les Paul Customs and they are amazing for hard rock. I’ll add Randy Rhoades and Mick Mars to the list as well. I can’t name many iconic 50s Les Paul Custom players but I feel like there are so many famous musicians who rocked a 70s Les Paul Custom. You’re right these are the iconic Les Paul Customs. As an old school hard rock and metal aficionado, the 70s Les Paul Custom is my guitar of choice. I’ve got a nice collection and like all my guitars but if I could only keep one it would be my Norlin. It just has the right sound and feel for the genres I like. Congrats on your 1979 and happy new guitar day! Hope it serves you well and rocks hard. 🤘

Hey! Thanks so much! Glad you liked it! Unfortunately my laptop I did this video and recording on has been dead for some time and I lost my isolated recording with it. If I can manage to get it working though I’ll definitely post it. I might even re-record it without the music. Will let you know if I’m able to do that.

@@rocktorrocks Thanks! If you could rerecord it even if its a hassle i would appreciate it tremendously, your the only person cool enough to tab neo tokyo

@@rocktorrocks hey man! any luck with finding the isolated solo?

@@ZEUZ119 Hey! Sorry I didn’t get back. Been going through some stuff and really busy. I’m embarrassed to admit I have to relearn the solo but will try to learn and record if I get some down time. If you don’t hear back send me another message or comment in a week just in case I forget.

@@ZEUZ119 Hey! I just spent the weekend relearning and recording it with and without music so I’ll post the isolated guitar very shortly. If you haven’t already would appreciate a sub with notifications. That way you won’t miss when I post it. Cheers! 🤘

Thanks! Glad you like it! That’s awesome you’ll be getting one soon. Hope it brings you years of joyous jamming. Nothing else sounds like a good classic tele and this particular model seems to nail that beefy powerful but still clear tele sound.

@@rocktorrocksthanks I’m really looking for to getting my hands on it

Good thought! I see the Riviera is under $1K which is already pretty good, especially considering it’s a signature guitar which usually commands slightly higher price. Glad to hear both your LPs are serving you well! After all these years I still enjoy playing my 2005 LP. The older Epiphones seem to have been forgotten but they can be great instruments, especially with the right upgrades.

Thanks so much! Glad you like it! It’s quickly become one of my favorite guitars to play. I haven’t measured to confirm but the frets seem similar on both my 58 and triburst in terms of size. However the overall set up of the 58 feels a little better in my hands. I got it used so the prior owner might have given it a better set up than my triburst has, but the action on the 58 is nice and low and the frets nicely polished. It just feels more premium as a result I think. What surprised me most is despite the 58 having a thicker neck and thicker 10 gauge strings which I’m usually not a fan of (I prefer slimmer necks & 9 gauge) the 58 still feels very easy to play. Overall I think with custom shop there’s better odds of getting a good guitar but Phillip McKnight of Knowyourgear youtube channel ordered a custom shop les paul and it had issues…so I don’t think even custom shop guarantees something great, which is messed up considering the prices they go for new. I got my 58 used at a good price (it’s a 2016 model) and I was able to try it out before buying so I felt more comfortable taking the leap and getting it. I’d still say if you can try before buying or order from a place that has good return policy, that would still be worth it. Hope that helps a little!

Thanks for watching! And appreciate the advice! I think part of it may be that the phone camera didn’t capture the in room amp sound well as it sounds pretty good in person to me but not sure the phone camera captured that properly. My THU amp sim & digital micro mustang headphone amp I can directly record in with usually sound better on videos I think.
