Dear Baron, Six years ago you inspired me to go out and buy a electric guitar and learn. I did just that. Thank you, its brought a lot of joy into my life.
I learned playing old surf tunes...like the other videos I made. anything that you enjoy to play works. the secret really is to enjoy it, have fun, and dont look at it like a chore. that way you keep playing as much as possible. at least this was my approach growing up
10 or so years later i have come back to comment that the "siren" at the end of second solo is epic not only as your proficiency on the guitar but from an artisitic pov
I didn't think this would work on guitar, but it definitely does. Solo fits in great. Big fan of EZ Rollers and GTA2 here, thanks for keeping the memory going!
Woah, freaking amazing! The sound is soooo good. Especially love the distortion and reverb/distance of the sound. The pitch shift part was especially sweet.
One of my favorite guitar covers on youtube, ever. Every once in a while something reminds me of this video and I feel compelled to watch it again. Awesome job, great tone, clean playing and a very catchy rendition of a superb theme.
This is fucking amazing man! Same, favourite theme ever! used to listen to this on repeat, still do! grinning from ear to ear, especially when you do that high pitch bend at the end.. most excellent! :D
You guessed it: ME. Thought I'd use this whole corona situation to stop by and have another go at this classic. BARON, hope you're doing well after all these years! Stay healthy, and remember, respect is everything.
This is kinda weird to think about, but the first time I saw this video 15 years ago, I didn't know the first thing about playing guitar or music in general. I loved watching you play and I've looped this vid hundreds of times. Now I play in a band and teach guitar myself and I've got my own students who are forming their first bands. I guess I just wanted to say thanks for the inspiration and that your playing sounded impressive and awesome back then and it still does now.
Hey your version of this is fucken hecktick bro !! :) absolutely love the squeal after the solo u basically reshaped my love for this song bro , so awesome man :)
Three weeks into the future. You wake up in an old rundown abandoned church, you don't know where you are and have no idea what happened. Things have changed since your short slumber, a whole lot has changed, to put lightly, everything is fucked up beyond recognition, you don't even recognise the neighbourhood you once lived in anymore. All hell has broken loose, cities and suburbs are dangerous, in disarray and dysfunctional, the economy has crashed, unemployment has skyrocketed, society has collapse, pollution is through the roof, a crime wave grips the nation, homelessness, drugs addiction, prostitution, violence, riots, theft, murder and clashes between authorities and the major crime gangs all over the streets, criminals roam the city blocks, the government police and military is controlled by a massive corporate conglomerate called Zaibatsu a giant criminal syndicate corporation with ties and connections in all of the high places of government, they control every aspect of life, they have complete control of this city and many places like here, all over the country. You cannot survive without one important thing, respect. Without respect, you won't last a day here, to gain respect, you must earn it, whatever it takes to get the job done, whenever they call, you'll be there to take the call, no questions ask, trust me it'll save you a lot of trouble. That's how it works, you work up through their ranks, when the time is right, you set them up against each other and you take them all down, all at once. Take back the city, one district at a time, soon the whole nation, back to the people, bring back their lives and their freedom, it's been such a distant memory, but isn't to far to reach, to return to the good old days.
They should bring back 2 but upgrade the hell out of it. Huge but similar city, real detail in the story (same as you mentioned), Upgraded graphics, Longer playthrough, improved cops, and all the stuff you could do in San Andreas. Watching people play gta 2, it looks fun as hell.
@SurfThrashGuitar Man I prolly watched this video about 20 times in a row....its just so FUCKING AWESOME....again way to rock some old school GTA II tunes man fucking props
Arnold Henry thanks man. Good luck with your book. And anyone reading this that's a parent should hit this guy's page and check it out....world class author. Good luck man
soul making, sound shaking, earth quaking
+edinho9984 Changin'

Change-ge-ge-ge-ge-ge
SO GREAT! Never take it down, plz! Have been coming back to this for 5 years+! Great - God bless

Soul shredding, whammy breaking, earth quaking sustain

No problem :)

Absolutely nailed it, awesome work!
Absolutely face melting, mind numbing, goosebumps giving solo there about halfway through the song, great work man!! 😁

You actually did the original song some justice. Great job!

Im guessing out of the 45,809 views on this video, I've personally managed to give about 100 over the last few years... Top notch, as always.

absolutely incredible, that solo you made killed me. Well done sir
