  • MEEEEEE!!! Playing "Be Quick Or Be Dead" by Iron Maiden, the first Iron Maiden song I ever heard anywhere. I've mastered it a little bit quieter than usual, in hopes that it will survive youtube's SHITTY ASS GOD DAMN processing a little better, but I am not optimistic.

    Thanks! Yeah, I'm not sure where that noise comes from, it only shows up when I upload to youtube, it's not on the source. My newer videos seem to be coming out better. I pretty much never use tab, I prefer learning by ear.

    Dude , God bless you for your talent, you deserve it. Oh yeah, your videos are amazing !!

  • @gram440a
    @gram440a  11 лет назад

    It is! Although the guitar I'm using is a 7 string, so don't let that throw you. It has an extra low B string, which is not used on this song!

    @xCrytakerx Thank you so much! I'm not sure how many more youtube will allow me to post though, I think they're going to shut me down for copyright violation unfortunately. You can always watch them on my website, they sound better there anyway. I'm not sure why it keeps marking your comments as spam, I don't have anything to do with that, sorry!

      Thank you very much! I try to spend at least 2 hours a day learning and practicing songs. If you include the time I spend writing and recording original stuff, and keeping my guitars working, it can get up to 6 hours or more, depending on what I'm up to. Plus I've been studying since 1992, lots of lessons, books, videos, and so on!

    Hello, you're a great guitarrist, however, you're not good enough for me if you don't play a pink floyd song. I think that the musicians are able to play if they can play ballads and have feeling, do you think you can play comfortably numb? altough you're a great guitarist.
