      @@ianjones2731 It's so difficult im a pretty solid musician and that part still trips me up massively because I haven't put enough time into that style of playing for the intro. its kind of like the drumming equivalent of a shuffle beat there's so much going on in the groove its massive mental overload

  • @123jozef
    @123jozef 4 года назад

    great player.... just grab those strings a little more for the pinched harmonics and that "sound" that comes from muting and squealing at the same time. Ed always has everything hammered down hard. Remember, even if you've seen the picks he threw to the crowd, those aren't the ones he was using. Until you have tried copper and Stainless Steel picks, you really won't get it. He didn't break strings either, and those copper picks will slice through strings like melted butter. Seriously.... and don't put them in your mouth. Learn to hold the pick in the crook of your middle finger. Ed was harsh in the beginning. He lightened up as he got older. I'm gonna look for some of your later covers. I see this was quite a while back. I'm sure you've got it by now.....

    I have the Intruder guitar that was painted like Eddie's Strat I call mine the FrankIntruder. It has the double black pups that Meanstreet makes and they are super awesome. I am having my wolfgang painted up like the Frankinstrat right now by them and will have the zebra pups and I'm sure that thing will rock out.

  • @EVHSlightReturn
    @EVHSlightReturn 10 лет назад

    Yeah... I picked up on the timing being off too in spots. But seriously, great version! It's funny how some players can lay a song out but have issues with keeping time; I read about players having that particular affliction apparently ending up being a "career" hindrance when bands were searching for a solid guitarist; Not to say William has that particular "affliction" as a habit as this is the first song I've heard him play. Timing is close enough where it seems curable or possibly a fluke on the song (My timing is excellent except "Panama" throws me just a bit sometimes) but William, you got chops! Super good playing ^5 !
