Lol, I get that. 😂 I do honestly appreciate the "A for effort" though, and glad you tuned in!

You bet!

Thank you! I feel the same. 🎸 Glad you're here! 🤘

I really appreciate that!! You gotta work with what you got. 🤘😂

@@TheStrugglingGuitarist Indeed we do!

Of course, thank you!

The video is fantastic! Sigh, I wish I had seen this earlier, but better late than never I guess. I appreciate you posting it!

I know... Usually my tempo is the strongest part of my musical abilities,, but when struggling to play stuff really fast, it often it goes right out the window. 🪟😂

🤩.Sweet, I really appreciate it!! 🤘

And ty back for the amazing guitar transitions!

Now don't get me wrong, but I'm glad I'm not the only one! 😂 Intellectually I know that it happens to everyone, but sometimes it feels like an island. I appreciate the commiseration! 🤘

In terms of my ability level? I wish! This is the real me. lol

Always and forever!

I agree. I've had a couple recommendations now to add the tabs but I'm usually finishing these with my hair on fire! LOL

Crazy, I completely missed that! I'll have to add it to the description. Much appreciated!

Truthfully, it's because I'm a n00b, and when I find a setting I like, I'm reluctant to play with it too much. 😂 However, I will add that whoever modded the guitar before I bought it, didn't hook up the switch right. It has 5 positions, two of which don't work, and the others feel off. I keep meaning to take it in one of these days but never get around to it.

@@TheStrugglingGuitarist Its a matter of preference ,u do u..hey, btw i think u r covring the fall out boy version.good version for beginner to cover play along with.

I appreciate it! It's super easy to just get stuck in a rut when thinking about all the moving pieces. Oooo, great idea. I'll check out the tab immediately for Fallout!

Thanks so much!! I really appreciate you taking the time to leave both the humbling compliment and excellent suggestions! I know the riff to Iron Man (who doesn't lol), but I never have looked into N.I.B. I'll check it out asap. Seek & Destroy is fantastic stuff! I thought about it but there are a lot of different parts in that 7 minute song. I didn't know where to start or how long a video people would sit through. lol Believe it or not, I haven't tried Enter Sandman. It's added to my soon to learn list. And Poison by Alice Cooper - Hell yeah, I know that one! Thanks for the awesome reminder! Added to the short list.

@@TheStrugglingGuitarist yeah seek and destroy long version lol been to a few Metallica shows lol.

I'm super jealous, I've never seen them live! 😭

@@TheStrugglingGuitarist still time. Awesome shows. And seek n destroy chorus is a lot like War Pigs with faster tempo. That is just my opinion lol

Lol, I never thought of the two like that. I agree!

Oh no! You are absolutely right! 😳😂 Learning something new every day. And thanks! Great idea for Smooth Criminal, I'll check it out. 🤘

It's a 2005 Standard Stratocaster FMT; however the hardware has been replaced with a Babicz bridge, Lace pickups, and Kluson tuning pegs. I bought it from Craigslist, so I don't know the story behind it.

@@TheStrugglingGuitarist is that the babicz with rounded saddles? I have the gold one on my black Strat

Yes, I believe they are. However, I will admit that I didn't know this was a thing and had to research it! DOH. I love learning new stuff like this. And the gold on a black guitar would be gorgeous!

@@TheStrugglingGuitarist I never really paid attention to the bridge and how my hand rested on it until I got the rounded saddles

Interesting! I had no idea that those little details could make such a big difference.

LOL, thanks. I usually just try and think of the most ridiculous thing I can. That one was a blast to photoshop (badly). 😂

@@TheStrugglingGuitarist got to lure them in, they say don’t judge a book by its cover….except on RUclips then yes lol judge

Hahaha, you nailed it!

DOH, sorry to disappoint! Yeah, I wish I could have. It's above my ability level and no way I could teach it. Lol

Awesome, I'm glad you enjoyed it! And I bet your guitar just pops with the gold hardware. I'm jealous. 🎸🤎

No problem! I'm always grateful for your guitar transitions.

Sweet, thanks!! 🙏🤘

Excellent tip about walking up the fret! I'm still enough of a beginner that often I'm so caught up in just memorizing, and not analyzing. Good call. And LOL, I know. <Sigh> The tuning was not great. I originally did tune, but flailed away on it long enough to knock it out. 😂 Tuning properly is still a weakness I need to work on. I appreciate the tip on "tuning up"! 🤘

Thanks, I appreciate you watching and glad you enjoyed it!!🤘

LOL, I'm super glad someone found that. 😁 I appreciate it!!

And as always, thank you! 💯

Thank you so much!! 🤎😂

😂💲💰

Absolutely. And thanks for the new transition music for this song!

Thank you so much! I'm super appreciative of your support!!

Great timing, I just went over Fire Woman with my instructor! Bad ass song, I'd love to learn it! Let me see what I can do.

You don't even think to call me Godfather. Instead, you come into my house on the day my daughter is to be married, and you ask me to do murder ... COUGH ... Oops, I mean you're welcome and thank you!

@@TheStrugglingGuitarist I meant no disrespect lol

😂

Awesome! Welcome to the club! 🤘😀

And thanks as always for the fantastic transitions!

Always!

Lol, exactly!! I'm super glad you enjoyed it!

Lol, and I'm a '73 kid, so I'm right there with you. And I agree, 'Nothin' But a Good Time' is amazing. That would definitely be worth learning... If you don't mind, I'm going to have to look into it! 🤘

Rock on! Your comment makes me super happy. I love that both you guys are playing along. 🤎 And I LOVE Pink Floyd. I've worked on half a dozen songs with my guitar teacher, let me see what I can do. I appreciate the suggestion!

LOL, love it! Welcome!! 🤘

@@TheStrugglingGuitarist So, I did watch it. I have been "working on" this riff for a month or so and your video helped me realize that I had been playing it wrong. Haha. I knew something sounded wrong about it. How long have you been learning? I've been... "learning" for 15 years or so, but I have gotten nowhere because I keep getting frustrated and quitting. I also took about 7 years off when I went to college and it consumed my life.

Whoops, somehow I missed your reply. Sorry about that! Yeah, that's the cool and often super frustrating thing. There are usually a ton of different interpretations of a song, and often I need to find the right one to make it click or else I've been known to spin my wheels. Glad my video helped! I've been playing for 4-5 years and I've definitely stalled a few times. I don't know how it works for you, but I found that when I have a teacher, I feel the urge to practice "for them" as much as myself, so as not make an ass out of myself. (Which of course still happens. 😂 )

Thank you! Coming from a musician of your caliber, I'm truly honored!!

@@TheStrugglingGuitarist Informative and entertaining! Love it!

Any time!

Thanks, I appreciate it!

Sweet, thanks!

Exactly! There is an amazing series of videos by The Axis of Awesome where they play a ton of songs using only four chords. I may have to try a similar video one of these days. 😂

You're welcome and thank you!

You've done me a big favor. You will ALWAYS get a mention. 😀

Wow, such an amazing compliment. 😎 Thank you so very much!!
