Sean McCabe Rocks

Добавлен 19 янв 2023
Welcome to my channel. I upload cover music videos... along with originals here and there.
DISCLAIMER: I am a HOBBYIST musician-only. I played in bands in high school and college in the '80s, and then took a 30+ year hiatus to focus on family and career. Forced early retirement at the end of 2020 thrust me back into music as a healthy hobby. In producing my covers, I use instrumental, karaoke and third-party backing tracks. If you want 100% live music, this is not your place. My covers are for entertainment purposes only. My channel is not, and never will be monetized.
FULL DISCLOSURE: As I fast-approach 60 years of age, it is getting harder to hit the high notes, not to mention play the guitar for extended periods without age-related aches and pains. I pre-record my own vocal and instrumental tracks, and fully admit to lip syncing and miming as accurately as possible to the master track for video.

Van Halen - Best of Both Worlds | 'The Best of All Worlds Tour' - It's Opening Night❗[COVER]
Sammy Hagar starts up his 'The Best of All Worlds Tour' tonight, July 13th, 2024 in West Palm Beach, FL with his longtime bandmates, Michael Anthony, Joe Satriani and Jason Bonham, along with special guests, Loverboy. To commemorate this momentous occasion, I saw it fitting to bang out a cover of 'Best of Both Worlds' in collaboration with my bro, and one of RUclips's best Van Halen drummers, Mike Conway.
"Best of Both Worlds" is a song by Van Halen on their album 5150 that was later released as a single in October 1986. A music video taken from the Live Without a Net concert video was in heavy rotation on MTV.

Van Halen - Me Wise Magic | TransTrem ❗ [Definitive FULL Cover]
Просмотров 13 тыс.5 месяцев назад
For 'Me Wise Magic', Eddie Van Halen used a Trans Trem and Sustainer. To save a few (several thousand ;-) bucks, I built my own custom "Chineberger" or "Chandberg" headless guitar, and equipped it with a modified S-Trem*. *NOTE: The S-Trem bridge does not have locking positions, so I could not nail that "F# Stop" exactly like King Edward. However, to stay as true to the original as possible, I ...
Bon Jovi - Livin' on a Prayer | Talkbox'in & Scream'in 🎤❗Cover by Sean McCabe
Просмотров 8795 месяцев назад
It was great fun breaking out the Talk Box, a la Peter Frampton. Richie Sambora owned it just as well on "Livin' on a Prayer" as Peter Frampton did on "Do You Feel like We Do"! The modulation in "Livin' on a Prayer" by Bon Jovi can be dangerous to the vocal cords. Just ask Jon Bon Jovi, who freely admits that belting out the high notes to this song concert after concert for nearly 4 decades all...
Toto - Africa | Not Another "Africa" Cover 🇿🇦 Never Gets Old! 🤟 Cover by Sean McCabe
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.5 месяцев назад
"Africa" by Toto has been covered by countless artists... and for good reason! It's simply a beautiful song - instrumentally, vocally and lyrically. Sure, you can say, "Oh great, yet another "Africa" cover. Well for me, this song never gets old, and I enjoy and respect each and every cover I come across. However, to do this song justice, you really have to listen closely! So much is going on, i...

Aerosmith - Dream On | Steven Tyler Vocal Cord Damage? ME TOO! 😜 [COVER]
Просмотров 6755 месяцев назад
The one crazy high scream in "Dream On" by Aerosmith can be dangerous to the vocal cords! Just ask Steven Tyler, who suffered vocal cord damage forcing postponement of their "Peace Out" farewell tour. Hey, he's 76 years old now, so it's amazing he can still even hit that note, let alone do his trademark screams for an entire concert! Covering this iconic rock ballad brought me back to my high s...
An In-Depth Look at my Telecaster | Danny Gatton "The Humbler"
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.6 месяцев назад
One guitar you don't see often on my channel is my "Partscaster" Telecaster Relic. In this video, I give it some of the attention it deserves. I also provide several playing demonstrations, and follow them up with a tribute to "The Humbler", Danny Gatton. Also known as "The Telemaster", Danny Gatton sadly committed suicide on October 4, 1994 by self-inflicted gunshot in his farmhouse garage, ex...

Просмотров 1756 месяцев назад
Nuno Bettencourt wrote most of "Hole Hearted" while sitting on the throne! What came out was definitely not "shite"! He had just received his first 12 string guitar. Excited, he took it into the bathroom to do his business, and came out with a soon to be Billboard No. 4 hit! In addition to the 12 string, add some bluesy slide guitar, a steady 4 on the floor kick that does not miss a beat throug...

Van Halen - Dreams | Hardest VH song to sing? [COVER]
Просмотров 2896 месяцев назад
I have made 3 different covers of "Dreams" by Van Halen, never satisfied with the final result. Every time I try to sing it, Sammy's stratospheric vocals chew me up and spit me out. I should have just lowered the key a whole step (just like Sammy does now), but his killer vocal shines its brightest in the original key. This time around was much like prior attempts, but at some point, you just h...

Gary Cherone may have had a stint with Van Halen, but he will be most remembered as the lead vocalist for Extreme... and especially for their 1991 hit song, "More Than Words". However, it's guitarist Nuno Bettencourt who really stands out on this one for me! According to Nuno, he came up with most of this song sitting on a porch, alone with his guitar. It came to him very quickly, as most of hi...
SAGA - On The Loose | Vidami YouTube Looper Pedal Intro - Cover by Sean McCabe
Просмотров 1867 месяцев назад
"On The Loose" by Saga! IMHO one of the defining songs of the 80s... This was the biggest hit for Saga, a Canadian band that incorporated elements of progressive rock into their pop sound. Lead singer Michael Sadler wrote the song with his bandmates Ian Crichton (guitar), Jim Crichton (bass), Jim Gilmour (keyboards) and Steve Negus (drums). Sadler told us: "'On the Loose' is blowing off steam. ...

I have been enjoying my hiatus from RUclips, but as any musician knows all too well, "When the music comes knocking, you have to answer the door!" I came across a RUclips video of Billy Idol guitarist, Steve Stevens showing how to play "Rebel Yell": ruclips.net/video/Fpq3YyfiJ9o/видео.html That's all it took to light the fire again. 🔥 So let's do this! 🤘 Guitar, Bass, Keyboard & Vocal by Sean M...
Van Halen - Love Walks In | Sammy Hagar abducted by Aliens! 👽 [COVER]
Просмотров 1,6 тыс.10 месяцев назад
Another great keyboard-driven rock ballad by Van Halen. This track demonstrates yet again how Eddie did not need to rely on his guitar to make musical magic. The guitar solo in "Love Walks In" is great, but it is the keyboard that drives this song home. To quote Sammy: "I'm a firm believer - have seen, have felt, have been contacted three or four different times. I have received information tha...
Van Halen - Poundcake | Makita 6012HD Cordless Drill [COVER] #Frankendrill
Просмотров 3,8 тыс.10 месяцев назад
The band was tied-up, so I played EVERYTHING myself this time... Guitar, Bass, Drums, Vocals and even a Makita Cordless Power Drill. The first guitarist to widely popularize the technique of playing guitar with a drill was Paul Gilbert. He used the drill as a pick during his time with the band Racer X in the 1980s. Eddie Van Halen did not use a cordless drill in his actual playing, but rather f...

Playing all the instruments to "You Shook Me All Night Long" by AC/DC may not be overly difficult, but capturing the energy of Angus Young is a whole different ballgame! I can almost nail his guitar licks, but playing them while doing his Duck Walk is far easier said than done. I could never do Angus proper justice, but it was fun dressing up in his schoolboy outfit and rockin' out to one of th...
