50 years ago Deep Purple gave us the masterpiece Machine Head. And to watch this guy playing Smoke on the water is really amazing. He deserves my respect. Keep on rocking . Well done . The gods of rock salute you.
Well, as a guitarist myself, this is one of those songs that is so overly played that it's banned in some music stores. He did a great job, no doubt, but it's like hearing "Shape of You", "Can't Stop the Feeling", "Uptown Funk" or "Sugar".
@@JamesBellx Thanks I've been listening to the songs on here, they're all great! Have you seen the Digitech Freqout pedal? I think it would make you sound even more amazing than you already do. Check it out sometime.
It's always good to know how to read music. That being said, there are a lot of guitarists who have made a decent living doing it who don't know how to (Slash being one example). Don't stress about it-knowledge is important, but it's only part of the whole package. The most important thing is heart. You need to do the best you can to appreciate yourself, always. Don't ever let anyone get you down. Learn chords, learn rhythm. Just remember to be yourself. Emulate, don't imitate. Be you.
OMG! I can't believe how the people just walk by so casually. Get you groove on people!! You play all the music I grew up listening to. When Rock n Roll was KING. If I were there I'd drop you a $50 Seriously! Where the hell can you listen to this music anymore??
dude, you just keep on jamming. I love to see young ppl gettin down like this. dont ever let anything come between you and your talent bro, cause you sure can jam...
Can't believe all those people are just walking by like you aren't even there. There s/b a crowd watching. Amazing Talent, James. Stay strong and keep on keeping on.
Молодец! Одна из лучших ковер-версий! Очень приятно видеть как такой юный гитарист исполняет многие композиции на высоком профессиональном уровне. Так держать, творческих тебе успехов!
Hi friends, a lot of people have said they would love to TIP me, so I set up a link for those who want to :- www.paypal.me/jamesbellx All support is greatly appreciated! As I am raising money for medication and time to study in London that I would have made myself if I hadn't gotten ill for two years! Thanks, James
Great stuff. It takes some nerve to cover this song now, because it's been done to death and some people will mock you just because you tried it. Still you gave this something new without ruining it, so extremely well done.
Thanks for the comment buddy. I'm focusing on originals now. I'll do a few more covers if I really really like the song but lots of people keep telling me to do originals now. Thanks again, James :-)
James Bell yes sir ! Originals would be the springboard for your career. And I have commented this on several vids you have shared, if there is anyway possible (only my opinion) you or your dad could get you connected with Joe Satriani that would be extremely beneficial to both you and him. Joe is a great guy and excellent influence to other artists. James I truly hope you do well and many of guitarists can see your talent and hope to see you playing here in the States ! Thank you for sharing !
Thank you !! I hope you like my recent original songs if you get a chance to check them out! And maybe consider subscribing and hitting the bell! Also, as people have been asking, I have a way people can help fight my condition I am suffering with here - :- www.paypal.me/jamesbellx Full story on gofundme - gofund.me/afe96bb0
I would have found a furniture store, bought a recliner, drug it up close and enjoyed watching your playing techniques!! 👍👍👍 THANKS for posting JAMES 🌟🌟🌟
Ok I understand that hi has all of the music prerecorded but don't you see how nobody has stopped at least for a moment to listen his awesome guitar playing, its like he isn't there any normal person would at least take a look that is natural human instinct ciao!!
James - you da man! Keep it up so you can become famous and land a big record deal and go on a world tour and play in southern California so I can come see you play! Seriously, the world needs more players like you! G
Hey James, I am currently in the process of learning Anastasia by Slash, and I've been watching tons od covers. Just wanted to tell you you have motivated me to keep going cause when you covered that song were just one year younger than I am now, 15. Even though I have to speed up my left hand movement I think that song is perfect. Keep going, keep motivating people to move on while rocking the world. We are the new generation of rockers. And you are our leader. ALL HAIL JAMES. hahaha
The thing that surprises me in the video, these are the passers .... Either they are deaf or they all have Alzheimer's disease and do not remember the sound of the Fender Stratocaster Ritchie Blackmore, or they live on another planet where there's no smoke on the water !! !! thank you James Le truc qui me surprend dans la vidéo , ce sont les passants.... Soit ils sont sourds, soit ils ont tous la maladie d'Alzheimer et ne se souviennent plus du son de la Fender Stratocaster de Ritchie Blackmore, soit ils habitent une autre planète où il n'y a pas de fumée sur l'eau !!!! Merci James
Simply amazing stuff James. You can turn your hand to anything now. Damn pity people just walk past. They must be into disco !! haha but seriously you are going along as you should be. :-)
Best cover I’ve ever heard! Get this man a contract!
Ridiculously good. Period. Over and OUT!
I can't believe how many people just walk past and ignore this. This kid is phenomenal.
I would NEVER pass by anyone playing guitar with such talent without stopping by to give them the high sign and acknowledge their awesomeness.
Same, I stop whatever I was doing and just enjo6 the show.
I've watched this a bunch of times now: this kid is killing it! Good for you.
Smooth as a whistle he'll b in a headline band soon all of his covers r spot on
50 years ago Deep Purple gave us the masterpiece Machine Head. And to watch this guy playing Smoke on the water is really amazing.
He deserves my respect.
Keep on rocking . Well done .
The gods of rock salute you.
Thank you!! I hope you checkout my original songs too brother
@@JamesBellx indeed
These guys are walking by without realize they are listening to something truly legendary!
+1 for clearance!
Well, as a guitarist myself, this is one of those songs that is so overly played that it's banned in some music stores. He did a great job, no doubt, but it's like hearing "Shape of You", "Can't Stop the Feeling", "Uptown Funk" or "Sugar".
justin bieber fans ! fuck him !
i can't understand why people are just walking by James bell you are phenomenal,i'd stop and listen all day
Pure brilliant..note perfect 🎵
Muhammad Ali once said, " If you can do it, it aint bragging!" Keep doing it James!
The subs should be 2.7 million. You are one of the best guitarists I've ever heard...and I've heard them all.
Thank you!! I have a new 70s rock original album out now on bandcamp if you're interested? I can give you the link
@@JamesBellx Thanks I've been listening to the songs on here, they're all great! Have you seen the Digitech Freqout pedal? I think it would make you sound even more amazing than you already do. Check it out sometime.
My favorite tune, brilliant talent, a passion for the art, well done young man.
me too
I've heard you play 60 billion times, but my jaw still drops.
neat and good interpretation between the riffs...he really is so good
@@tonygreen6185 thanks! I have original songs on my channel you perhaps would enjoy

Amazing skills! Love it!! So sad to see all the people just passing by!!!
DAM! WTH is wrong with the people in that town!? Not 1 person standing around and cheering him on! Well....big standing O for you Mr. James Bell.
+Jeffrey Hendricks (Warondar) Is like Silent Hill haha.

How can you not stop and listen to this kid? Awesome!
If you got places to go, people to meet with or just are not into that older 70's rock, it's understandable.
Rock and roll , great talent... a star is born...

Can't believe all those people are just walking by like you aren't even there. There s/b a crowd watching. Amazing Talent, James. Stay strong and keep on keeping on.
Look at the peoples age who are walking by, song selection needs to be revised and then he could make some coin.
Молодец! Одна из лучших ковер-версий! Очень приятно видеть как такой юный гитарист исполняет многие композиции на высоком профессиональном уровне. Так держать, творческих тебе успехов!
Guitar work outstanding
Hi James,
You're showing some real talent.
You make it look easy. Keep up the hard work.
God bless,
S.T.
Listen to this one a few times now James with my ear phones plugged in, it's one of my favorite tracks of all time. I can see it's easy for you!
hey James you killed it man!!! that was perfect. you are a talent to be reckoned with. damn, that tone is sooooooo sick.
Thank you!!

A real good cover, not only note for note version...Ritchie could be proud of u guy... Thx
Wow. Unbelievable.
Notice a lot of the passer byes can't look at him, he is overwhelming them with his talent, and they feel inadequate to even look at him.
"byes"?
THESE YOUNG PEOPLE WILL APPROPRIATE THE CHANGE IN OUR COUNTRY. MAY. GOD ALMIGHTY KEEP HIS BLESSINGS OVER THE USA. SO BE IT AND CARRRY ON PEOPLE.
Hi James, another song I would love to hear you cover is "Man on the Silver Mountain." I am sure you would do it justice!
Hope you are well.
Thanks for the comment buddy. I'm focusing on originals now. I'll do a few more covers if I really really like the song but lots of people keep telling me to do originals now. Thanks again, James :-)

A master with an ignorant public. AWESOME !
Crazy to see how many people just walk by. That's some talent!
Outstanding!!! You obviously love what you are doing -- never lose that...
Uptight people everywhere!!! -you should come to my town and do this, you would stop traffic -you are outstanding!!
I like the guitar sound of your voice so much. And a great soundtrack I cry with you
Nice job....keep jamming...I like the fact ur performing out in the streets..despite what anybody says never give up your dreams..
Thank you matey! :-) Please subscribe if you haven't yet subscribed. Every sub means a lot :-)
When you get that tone out of a small Roland Cube amp ( + pedals ) that shows how good you really are...
The Fret-King guitar isn't bad either...

Those are not real people walking by - just wind-up toys.
The thing that surprises me in the video, these are the passers ....
Either they are deaf or they all have Alzheimer's disease and do not remember the sound of the Fender Stratocaster Ritchie Blackmore, or they live on another planet where there's no smoke on the water !! !!
thank you James
Le truc qui me surprend dans la vidéo , ce sont les passants....
Soit ils sont sourds, soit ils ont tous la maladie d'Alzheimer et ne se souviennent plus du son de la Fender Stratocaster de Ritchie Blackmore, soit ils habitent une autre planète où il n'y a pas de fumée sur l'eau !!!!
Merci James
Simply amazing stuff James. You can turn your hand to anything now. Damn pity people just walk past. They must be into disco !! haha but seriously you are going along as you should be. :-)
