    I agree with all of the comments that say you are fantastic. This is true. No multi angle camera shots, no flames or other showy props. Just a great artist with their instrument and what looks like a drop cloth for background ( because nothing else is needed ) playing with ease.

    • @AlexandraZernerRocks
      @AlexandraZernerRocks  4 года назад +6

      Thank you for appreciating my work! Nowadays it's really hard to make a video that both looks good and isn't deceiving. Many people benefit the technological progress in a dishonest way and this teaches the audience to be way more critical than needed for enjoyment. I prefer to spend the time practising instead of editing for the sake of fooling people that I am something that I am not and that's why I played this in front of the camera 10-12 times in a row until it's good enough to present :)

    There is some problem with the comments section. I contacted RUclips to address the issue and they told me they're working on it. Sorry for not replying - it's just a bug, apparently.

    From just watching this and a few of your other covers it's obvious you are talented, but I feel that many underestimate the hard work, dedication and discipline that has to be put into carrying this cover in the spirit of Jason himself. Bravo. I watch your legacy to learn.

    • @AlexandraZernerRocks
      @AlexandraZernerRocks  Месяц назад

      Thank you very much for appreciating the work! It requires a lot of effort indeed - it took me 2 years to learn this from scratch until it's good enough to perform in one take without mistakes...

  • @JonTheNativeSpeaker
    @JonTheNativeSpeaker 8 лет назад +1

    It is nice to see that you respond and connect in the comment section so much. And as always, a great pleasure to watch you play. One thing I liked was how your hands/fingers were moving too fast for the camera at various moments, causing a blur effect.

    • @AlexandraZernerRocks
      @AlexandraZernerRocks  7 лет назад +1

      An artist without an audience is nothing. So for the artist it's a must to have a communication with their fans.
      Soon I will buy a camera to shoot at 60 fps, so the blur effect will be gone ;)

    • @JonTheNativeSpeaker
      @JonTheNativeSpeaker 7 лет назад

      Alexandra Zerner Official That is a good attitude to have, not all artists make the effort. As for the frame rate, it looks cool when your hands start to blur. Who knows, Maybe 60 fps still won't be enough. ;)

  • @AlexandraZernerRocks
    @AlexandraZernerRocks  7 лет назад +3

    I still can't answer personally because of the RUclips issues with the comments, so I will try to answer the most common questions I get:
    - Tabs? - I learnt this track by ear, by slowing it down to 50% and listening carefully few thousand times... Jeff Loomis' video helped me a lot, so I suggest you take a look at it too: ruclips.net/video/ScMsdLKhiyI/видео.html
    - How long it took me? - It took me about two years since I started learning it. I practiced it daily, until I was confident enough to do the video.
    - Practise? - I do my best to practise at least 6 hours a day, as often I take a day off - usually one day of the week, and one day right before a gig.

    Good job at pulling off a tough cover! Great seeing a Kahler trem being used. I have a Washburn Wonder Bar trem on my Gibson V. It is a mix of a Kahler & FR. Unfortunately Washburn was sued by both Washburn and Floyd Rose and had to discontinue making them. It never goes out of tune and has good sustain....

    • @AlexandraZernerRocks

      Thanks! It's been a lot of work... I remember reading about the Wonder Bar and I was curious about why it disappeared. Thanks for the info!
      BTW, if you set up the Kahler well, it's quite solid :)

    • @musemuser777
      @musemuser777 Месяц назад

      @@AlexandraZernerRocks Yeah, unfortunately Kahler sometimes gets some unnecessary ridicule by FR users... I would definitely use one. I like my FR on my Ibanez Prestige, but it can be a pain in the ass when using multiple tuning setups. Keep up the good work! We've enjoyed watching your videos as a new subber. 💯

    Truly impressive skill-set displayed here! It shows you've put in many months, if not years to learn the techniques and hand coordination to play something that advanced.. Not many people understand the determination it takes to accomplished something that physically challenging.. Guitar virtuosos are much like athlete's in my book, you definitely take home a gold medal for that performance, thanks for sharing.

    • @AlexandraZernerRocks
      @AlexandraZernerRocks  7 лет назад +1

      Thank you so much! I am glad, that you have such thorough understanding of this process - not many people think about that. As a matter of fact, it took me two years to do this piece, from learning the first notes to making this video. So it's much like athlete's work indeed :)

    • @justinbeckett3208
      @justinbeckett3208 7 лет назад

      Thank you for the kind reply Alexandra. I think it is very important for musicians to compliment and encourage one other, I think it helps spark inspiration and the creative process (which we all know can be a mental roadblock when there is so much negativity in the world these days) You have inspired me, even if I'm on a much, much lower plateau of 'technical' abilities, I enjoy playing in my leisure time when the fingers cooperate with me ha-ha. PS I have been trying to master the main solo to Mr Crowley for over 5 years, so if anyone understands how hard it is to mimic all the tiny details of a virtuoso, I certainly can relate :)

      I can only be happy, that I inspired you! One thing I know for sure, that if one is dedicated to what they do, the efforts will repay and a good outcome will be present. Many people believe, that when someone execute such a difficult piece, they are certainly from a musical family, they had special support and so forth, which is rarely the truth. I, for example, have only one professional musician in my whole family history for the last 150 years, and this professional musician was born back in the 1870's... I had only the support of my mother, while being forced by others to get a normal job and leave that playing just as a hobby. I declined, and frankly, there were times, when my fridge was empty... there were days with no electricity... but I was still playing, instead of getting a normal job and leave music behind. I was playing on a wooden board with drawn keys for an year, because we had no money for a piano. The special snowflakes nowadays have no idea about such kind of struggle and devotion, but this is what makes the real artist/athlete/scientist/writer.

    As a fan of all the virtuosos out there, I never really the notes that are out of place. I can tell you that this a pretty accurate cover of that song. You probably know that already!!! Thank you so much for covering this song. It shows us what it should been played like if JB was performing. I will probably sound a bit selfish here, but the sad thing for fan is there isn't a lot of videos of JB playing. He wrote some of the best instrumental piece and thank to people like you, we can appreciate his work even more!!

      Thank you so much, Pat! Actually, I hear some inaccuracies now, also now I know that I haven't used Jason's fingerings everywhere, but it is what it is. At least I corrected that in "Altitudes" :)

      She did a very good job with this song, kudos to you! But the tone, accuracy and clarity of each note in jeff's version, sounds just like the original.
