I mean, it may not be hard for you all who are obviously pros and world class drummers who think the original drums in this are child's play for us mere mortals to be slackjawed at, but I know I couldn't do it cause I just started playing drums, and I find it quite difficult.
Van Halen on a telecaster. I don't understand this world anymore. But I liked it. I'm not big on newer country but I'm a guitar player, and Brad Paisley is a legit guitar player.
@@Andoroid Yeah, the Telecaster is no stranger to rock. All of Led Zeppelin I was recording on a tele, Stairway to Heaven, Rolling Stones, Tom Morello, etc
no freakin doubt!!! must have been som hardcore country for an audience lol but really even if they dont know van halen the sheer overwhelming talent should have got them excited!!!!
I will bet that at least half of the people that are at that concert don't even know what fucking song that is....and the other half are under 30!! Hahahaha!!!
I agree. My guess would be a) the crowd is too young to appreciate Van Halen or probably to even know who he is b) the majority of people in the audience don’t have an understanding or appreciation of musical ability and just want to hear the songs performed exactly like they hear them on the album. But hey, sometimes that’s what it takes to get the wheels turning in some young folks heads and, later on, they realize and appreciate what they heard and saw.
He was playing with Tom Morello, Scott Ian and Nuno Bettencourt doing a metal version of the game of thrones at a guitar seminar. He flat out can play.
Nuno Bettencourt, aka Extreme, the metal band killed by the #1 hit on soft rock, More Than Words, covered by Mike Myers in Love Guru.....whose first big hit was (and 100 extra points if you saw them at the Living Room on Sunday nights with Rick OB) Judy Wants An All Night sucker, Judy wants an all night what????
HH Tele is my favorite guitar. Thin, sleek, compact, balanced weight, guts in the body, with enough balls in that bridge humbucker to play whatever I want.
Man that was my first thought, “Wow that sounds dang good on a Tele.” He is an exceptional player though, and not many people are going to make it sound that good.
I always suspected he wasn't always country you can hear the rock overtones in his country leads. He has a great ear too. BTW a few of the classic Jimmy Page solos were recorded with a tele. www.guitarworld.com/news/listen-to-jimmy-page-narrate-the-history-of-his-fender-telecaster-in-new-animated-video
@@djmammo9826 yeah man look up a jam he did with Scott Ian, Nuno Betencourt and a few more guys on RUclips. It’s called The game of Thrones. He’s a hell of a player.
Hot for teacher in front of catholic young girls. It’s not good. Maybe they’ll grow to know they saw it by corny ass brad paisley and not the much loved band Van Halen.
What is wrong with that audience? I get that they came to hear country music but if I went to a Van Halen concert and they broke into the Devil went down to Georgia, I would be lovin’ every minute of it.
Eric Bee they're lovin it, but it appears to me, they don't know how to MOVE!! I guess they just wanted a chill night at the country bar but at a concert
Yeah. I just stumbled onto this. I can't say I listen to "all music" but if that was really him... slayed it in front of a really, really dead crowd. OMG.
Adriaan Verburg Excellent response my friend. By the way I’ve just been putting the finishing touches on this burning heart solo by Adrian Vandenburg It’s only taken me 30 years 🙂
I think musicians should be called as such - musicians, they should play more than 2 genres. They should never be pigeonholed on one style only. Willie Nelson proved to us in 1978 that country artists can sing jazz too.
His crowd likes both kinds of music, Country & Western, so they're obviously unfamiliar with Hot for Teacher. Maybe he should've changed the lyrics to Hot for Sister - so they can relate. Yee haw!
I've seen Brad Paisley a few times and Keith Urban twice and couldn't agree with you more. I was at this show and while the crowd in the pit is a fairly good reflection of Orange County in California the rest of the Amphitheatre was definitely into this portion of the show. As an aside, Brad is a smart guy and his shows contain a lot of good humor in addition to good music.
I'm a hard rock fan but appreciate Paisley and respect his talent. I am also a fan of the guitar and grew up watching Hee Haw and loved how those guys were masters of their guitars. Good to see somebody in music today appreciating the guitar.
Vince Gill is probably better than Brad Paisley. Keith Urban is good as well. Also, rest in peace, Roy Clark. Jammed on the banjo, guitar and other instruments. You said Hee Haw I know you know who I'm talking about.
@@devinmccurry1160 as would I but brad is an animal on guitar but Vince has a nicer feel for it . But then again I think mason puts them all to bed but I do Albert Lees style too
It always amazed me how some of our "Country" guitar players, normally not incorporating the full spectrum of their skills in their own songs often only using 3 chords but could literally shred a guitar. Brad is obviously amazing, Roy Clark is another one, and Travis Tritt
Damn I had no idea. I understand I’m hard on country musicians but man...he is a true musician. By that I mean I he is a fan outside his “genre” and he excels in his art to a virtuoso level. Good for you and for us
Buddy Foster If you really want to be impressed, watch the CMT Crossroads he does with John Mayer. Two astoundingly good pickers, but Brad easily covers John’s songs, and John doesn’t quite Ethan it on Brad’s songs. Also some great interviews with how they got into guitar and it’s influence to them. Truly a great episode to catch.
Most of those country cats have ridiculous chops - they just barely and rarely use them. My cousin has played bass with Dolly Parton band, Tanya Tucker, etc for years playing what to most people just sounds like basic "root - fifth - root - fifth" stuff, but there is more subtlety and nuance to it than a lot of folks realize, and this is someone with a music degree who can rip into some Jaco Pastorius type stuff at a drop of a hat - IF that's what the music needs.
@@papprazziusa4817 I’d wager that most country fans know the major, classic rock songs, just like rock fans (and anyone else) knows the huge country songs.
I'm a rock & roll kinda of gal always have been & always will be, but I love all kinds of genres of music period...... But I got to say I love Brad Paisley, not only do he & I share a birthday, but he & I were born in the same state, same county, & same fricken hospital just that I was born long before him in 1964😁...... I saw him back in Houston Rodeo on our birthday in concert & he kicks azz...... Love ya little bro!!!!!!
Check out Vince Gill, Brent Mason and Chet Atkins then and be further blown away. Arguably the best guitarists in history, are right here in country music.
Brad is the most humble and generous artist who happens to play country. I just saw his show in reno last weekend all I can say is "faith in humanity retored" He also is an amazing shredder thank you Mr Paisley
My guess is that 90% of the audience at this show is hearing this song for the first time. I'm not a country music fan, but this guy is a talented guitarist and musician.
The tempo is 70bpm more than 85% are used to, 90% are high as fuck and can’t tell you where they live other than they’re southern brother “ oooo yeah.. And the rest.. So fucking stupid they think it’s a trump rally
People!!! Just because people play country don't mean they don't like other stuff!! Brad Paisley, to me is the EVH of country music! This boy can play guitar. He may have wanted to be a rock star. In my opinion country music, new country has a rock taste to it! Country is HUGE wither you like it or not. The love of music is different for everyone. Brad KICKED ASS in this video!!
So true. I’m not really a huge country but love Brad’s music and he has incredible picking technique. I bet if you had a guitar duel between Brad and Eddy that Brad could play everything Eddy could but Eddy would struggle with some of Brad’s licks. Brad’s playing is pretty complex and he has tremendous picking technique with lightning fast runs. Eddy is more of a fret hand player and relied mostly on legatos, staccato, hammer-ons and pull-offs. Frankly Eddy wasn’t doing anything that Dick Dale wasn’t foing 20 years before him other than finger tapping.
exactly I play mostly country myself but if you can play country well you can play almost anything people don't sometimes understand how much work and dedication serious country lead or session players put in to there craft
Every once in a while a MUSICIAN comes along that has their own sound. A sound you hear and right away you know who it is. Paisley is one of those musicians. Extremely underrated guitarist.
@Brandon Meise lol. Dude you started the "pissing" contest. I hate today's country...and Brad Paisley isn't one of them. However, I would venture to say you don't know much about Brad Paisley? When you share the stage with arguably the best guitar player ever (Tommy Emmanuel) I'd say you are a pretty damn good guitar player.
Donald Lamendola , I'm pretty sure that one is a G-bender. You can see him yank down on the neck every time it bends a whole step. He plays a B-bender as well.
Wow!! Brad Paisley does it all,, play's any genre like any recording artist, writes and sings as many cannot,, is all - he's the real deal and a completly awesome recording artist.
So true. Not really a country fan but I love his music. He can play anything. Mind boggling country licks, blues, jazz, rock, you name it he can do it. Maybe short of Malmsteen style shredding. I don’t believe Eddie was the end all guitarist of the 80s. He was one heck of a writer but guys like Malmsteen, Lynch, and Rhoads had better chaps than Eddy. Eddy was mostly a fret hand player like the guys who came before him but took it to another level. Mostly legatos, hammer-ons and pull-offs. Brad is one hell of a player and has incredible picking technique.
Ryan Keith really it's justthe state of country music these days. If he were in the 70s he'd be classic outlaw but people don't want outlaws anymore. He's found a way to shred and write really good music within a lame format. Pretty impressive. Plus, he's one of the best players out there
There is always so much talent in the country scene, people don't realize. Start with Roy Clark. Its just hidden...but it's there. This was fun, thanks Hope for posting
This exactly why I like brad. Great taste in music. Him playing in the game of thrones guitar cover video blew me away. I thought "hes country hows he gonna pull that off?" He gained a fan that day.
The thing that impressed me about his contribution was that, unlike the rest of the musicians, he hadn't rehearsed the tune. He sat in and listened, without playing, until it was his turn to solo and then played something that fitted in perfectly while still sounding like himself.
I'm a metal guy because I am fascinated by incredible guitarists, and for that reason I'm a big fan of Brad Paisley. Country singers are often times a dime a dozen but this guy stands out from the pack for what he can do with a guitar. Incredible musician.
They are. As a metal head, his concert was fantastic. He’s a true musician/virtuoso and has an appreciation for all genres of music. Brad Paisley is one of the last true artists.
I’m not a country fan in the slightest, but my friends got me conned into going to one of his shows, and I can say it was honestly one of the best concerts I’ve seen
I'm so glad he did this. Because it helps me make a point. I've been a country musician for about 33yrs and some of my friends think I'm weird or some kinda music tard when they hear me listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd or playing it on guitar in my spare time. Just because we might play one type of music, don't mean that we're not "schooled" in the other. I'm from SC and grew up on Southern Rock in the 70's.
Brad Paisley is the most underrated guitarist in popular commercial music. He's a legit badass guitarist. John Mayer runs home to his mom after hearing Paisley play.
exactly my thoughts...'hot for what? This sounds nothing like Wrapped Around'!?! Brad smokes on guitar but a shame so few people are able to look past what is fed to them as popular and right in front of them
I finally came around to Country Music and started listening to it and accepted it . I live in Seattle the Grunge Capitol. I am adopted and I am one of those who in my 20s went in search of my biological parents . Well I traced them to East Tennessee and found out they were brother and sister so my conscience just wouldn’t let me continue having contempt for Country Music .
Everybody is talking about Brad here, but his drummer deserves sooooo much credit… Alex Van Halen had to layer four different drum tracks to create the intro to ‘Hot For Teacher’ that ended up on the record and the drummer did a ridiculously amazing job getting that huge sound all by himself.
So many times I think to myself musicians only listen to their own genre but it's always fun watching them get into other styles and thoroughly enjoy it.
So what he didn't play it note for note. The dude is badass on guitar, he spent like the majority of his life being influenced by anyone and any band that had a standout guitar player. He's having fun and that's what it's about.
Brat Paisley. Here's one of the few, all-around accomplished, musicians. A rare talent. A gift to all who can appreciate what he brings to the music table. Truly amazing.
First heard brads music in the movie Cars when I was about 6 years old I loved Behind the clouds and When you find yourself I was hooked on his music and hearing cover all different genres made me have even more respect for him. I would love to hear him studio cover Hot for teacher.
Music is music...doesn't matter where or who it comes from. If you like it you like it, if you don't, then you don't. Nothing wrong with learning new genres.
I'm not a country music fan but I'm a Brad Paisley fan.I saw this years ago & he blew me away with the skills! THEN he popped up on the GOT collaboration with Scott Ian, Nuno Bettencourt, Tom Morello and blazed away again. The looks on their faces says it all! Well do Brad!
This crowd looks like they just heard Johnny B. Goode at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance!
chirrrs !!! Ha ha ha good one
Precisely what I was thinking. 🤔
Naw, modern country has big time crossover. Most of the people there are probably huge VH fans.
He didn't even bother to sing anything but the chorus👎 Lame
hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
"Guess you guys aren't ready for that yet...but your kids are gonna love it"
He looked out and saw fading faces in photographs

Any decent drummer can hit that pretty easily. However, very few drummers can nail the opening to Led Zeppelin’s “Rock n Roll”.
Thats Much harder.
Van Halen on a telecaster. I don't understand this world anymore. But I liked it. I'm not big on newer country but I'm a guitar player, and Brad Paisley is a legit guitar player.
Too legit to quit, and that you must admit!
Just goes to show you tone is in the hands lol
Yeah but Eddie did it on a partscaster strat so...
Telecaster can absolutely rock
I wish they were used more in western rock music. They're commonly used for rock in Japan which is pretty great
@@Andoroid Yeah, the Telecaster is no stranger to rock. All of Led Zeppelin I was recording on a tele, Stairway to Heaven, Rolling Stones, Tom Morello, etc
Brad Paisley deserves a better response than he's getting here. Way better. The guy is friggin' amazing.
no freakin doubt!!! must have been som hardcore country for an audience lol but really even if they dont know van halen the sheer overwhelming talent should have got them excited!!!!
I will bet that at least half of the people that are at that concert don't even know what fucking song that is....and the other half are under 30!! Hahahaha!!!
I must admit I never thought a boy named paisley could play like he came out of the park and landed in LA! Bravo
I agree. My guess would be a) the crowd is too young to appreciate Van Halen or probably to even know who he is b) the majority of people in the audience don’t have an understanding or appreciation of musical ability and just want to hear the songs performed exactly like they hear them on the album. But hey, sometimes that’s what it takes to get the wheels turning in some young folks heads and, later on, they realize and appreciate what they heard and saw.
It’s amazing how many people don’t know that song! I’m only 25 and even I know that song. At least I know I was raised right.
David Lee Roth was correct when he said, "There's a little Van Halen in everyone".

Besides the crowd apparently...
Yep
A little.

This was absolutely phenomenal
This guy is rockin out an EVH CLASSIC and these people are standing still?! WTF!
My guess is that 90% of the audience at this show is hearing this song for the first time. I'm not a country music fan, but this guy is a talented guitarist and musician.
The tempo is 70bpm more than 85% are used to, 90% are high as fuck and can’t tell you where they live other than they’re southern brother “ oooo yeah..
And the rest..
So fucking stupid they think it’s a trump rally
@@stuartpayne6473 lmao
Went to see Brad Paisley and a rock concert broke out hahaha
he cured the audience of country aids
He always puts on a great show! I’ve seen him the last three years and will go again as long as he keeps coming!
Me and my brother couldn't agree more. Man that was funny.
Found this video and post looking for an instruction video. WTF
michael naretto is tone deaf
Funny shit there, Mike!
I looked up brad paisley knowing hes a country artist so I can see him shred on the guitar. I have no regrets
Man he shredded that! If you can play then the genre doesn’t matter. Makes you wonder how many people are there for lifestyle vs music.
90% of the audience doesn't know what he is playing, wtf!
discnman Doe not everyone is a Van Halen fan.
come on brad! give us a classic rock/southern metal album already!
5th gear my dude
That was a great country Van jam- wish audio picked up better... Must of rocked live. Great tribute Brad P🎸
I'm a metal guitar player with a touch of blues and Brad is the man on guitar. Dude is gifted and can play anything
As David Lee Roth once said "there's a little bit of Van Halen in everyone".
People!!! Just because people play country don't mean they don't like other stuff!! Brad Paisley, to me is the EVH of country music! This boy can play guitar. He may have wanted to be a rock star. In my opinion country music, new country has a rock taste to it! Country is HUGE wither you like it or not. The love of music is different for everyone. Brad KICKED ASS in this video!!
New Country, New Coke.
So true. I’m not really a huge country but love Brad’s music and he has incredible picking technique. I bet if you had a guitar duel between Brad and Eddy that Brad could play everything Eddy could but Eddy would struggle with some of Brad’s licks. Brad’s playing is pretty complex and he has tremendous picking technique with lightning fast runs. Eddy is more of a fret hand player and relied mostly on legatos, staccato, hammer-ons and pull-offs. Frankly Eddy wasn’t doing anything that Dick Dale wasn’t foing 20 years before him other than finger tapping.
Jennifer Murnane ....... hell I listen to damn near anything from the Beatles to Bluegrass. I just don't get into rap.
exactly I play mostly country myself but if you can play country well you can play almost anything people don't sometimes understand how much work and dedication serious country lead or session players put in to there craft
I think Keith Urban is more EVH to country.. imo.. but Brad Paisley is not a bad comparison either
His guitar player has always been incedible. He never misses a note! Totally underrated performer
Every once in a while a MUSICIAN comes along that has their own sound. A sound you hear and right away you know who it is. Paisley is one of those musicians. Extremely underrated guitarist.
Such a shame that most of the crowd has no idea he's playing EVH.
Real music? Brad Paisley may be the most underrated guitar player out there. He gets overlooked alot because hes a country musician.. guy can play.
Dang right!!! move over Eddie.
Much respect to Brad, big VH fan here, wish I could have seen this live
Where's your video?
@Brandon Meise lol. Dude you started the "pissing" contest. I hate today's country...and Brad Paisley isn't one of them. However, I would venture to say you don't know much about Brad Paisley? When you share the stage with arguably the best guitar player ever (Tommy Emmanuel) I'd say you are a pretty damn good guitar player.
Hey people give the drummer some, Ben Sesar is a monster drummer!!!!! Brad aint too bad either!!!!
Vinnie Veneziano definitely. The main drum riff with the offset double bass and bell roll is seriously difficult to play smooth.
Dang having really only seen this guy in commercials with payton manning, i did not realize he rocked this hard. Great playing
Mad props to the drummer. As soon as he was given the cue he dove in balls deep!!!
The tone he gets out of that Tele is killer.
Donald Lamendola , I'm pretty sure that one is a G-bender. You can see him yank down on the neck every time it bends a whole step. He plays a B-bender as well.
Donald Lamendola AX FX Fractal for ya
J Bolo no B-bender live for Brad. G-bender only. Also, a lot of his guitars are Bill Crook customs, not Fenders.
Stuntman D29 Paisley doesn't use Fractal gear, no. That's all analog pedals except for a Line 6 M13. All the amp tones are real tube amps.
I own an American Pro Telecaster and I approve of this statment.
Wow!! Brad Paisley does it all,, play's any genre like any recording artist, writes and sings as many cannot,, is all - he's the real deal and a completly awesome recording artist.
So true. Not really a country fan but I love his music. He can play anything. Mind boggling country licks, blues, jazz, rock, you name it he can do it. Maybe short of Malmsteen style shredding. I don’t believe Eddie was the end all guitarist of the 80s. He was one heck of a writer but guys like Malmsteen, Lynch, and Rhoads had better chaps than Eddy. Eddy was mostly a fret hand player like the guys who came before him but took it to another level. Mostly legatos, hammer-ons and pull-offs. Brad is one hell of a player and has incredible picking technique.
John Z Yet still chooses to play country garbage
Ryan Keith really it's justthe state of country music these days. If he were in the 70s he'd be classic outlaw but people don't want outlaws anymore. He's found a way to shred and write really good music within a lame format. Pretty impressive. Plus, he's one of the best players out there
John Z but can he play djent
no one needs another djent player
There is always so much talent in the country scene, people don't realize. Start with Roy Clark. Its just hidden...but it's there. This was fun, thanks Hope for posting
This exactly why I like brad. Great taste in music. Him playing in the game of thrones guitar cover video blew me away. I thought "hes country hows he gonna pull that off?" He gained a fan that day.
The thing that impressed me about his contribution was that, unlike the rest of the musicians, he hadn't rehearsed the tune. He sat in and listened, without playing, until it was his turn to solo and then played something that fitted in perfectly while still sounding like himself.
I bet he's never felt like such a badass as when playing Eddie
To quote Chris Ledoux (a real cowboy) "Even Cowboys Like a Little Bit of Rocknroll"
With a little southern twist south rnr = southern rock
Hot For Teacher on a telecaster with a country twist is something I never knew I needed in my life. Until now.
I'm a metal guy because I am fascinated by incredible guitarists, and for that reason I'm a big fan of Brad Paisley. Country singers are often times a dime a dozen but this guy stands out from the pack for what he can do with a guitar. Incredible musician.
I have a new respect for Brad Paisley. Holy crap. Also saw him with other shredders doing Game of Thrones theme song. Another Legend.
Sean Wells just saw the same vid. That's what brought me here. Brad has some serious chops. Always liked him but serious new respect!
The amount of people not paying attention to the concert is amazing. Sad really.
Evidently Brad is a musician"s musician.
Lifelong VH fan here and I commend Brad for this cool version and the fun intro. His shows must be so fun.
Daaaaammmmm! Boys legit! My respect level just tripled
Saw him tonight, best concert I have been to
honorablecbm awe, that's really sad. I'm sorry to hear that.
Great Show thanks for sharing whit us Cheers.From Canada
Just proves how great a guitarist Brad really is
Make no mistake, Brad is the real deal.
kwantoon used to be
Caleb Melton Used to be my big fat ass!!!! He's still rolling onward stronger than ever.
KY KRaZY i remember when he used to be a country singer
Caleb Melton Oh my....when did he cease to be a country music singer? He's country as cornbread!!!!!
KY KRaZY lol. no. just another generic pop singer now
I'm mostly into rock/metal but I bet his concerts are fun
They are. As a metal head, his concert was fantastic. He’s a true musician/virtuoso and has an appreciation for all genres of music. Brad Paisley is one of the last true artists.
His concerts are fantastic!
I’m not a country fan in the slightest, but my friends got me conned into going to one of his shows, and I can say it was honestly one of the best concerts I’ve seen
His concerts are incredible. No matter what type of music you prefer
Metal is a joke
I'm so glad he did this. Because it helps me make a point. I've been a country musician for about 33yrs and some of my friends think I'm weird or some kinda music tard when they hear me listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd or playing it on guitar in my spare time. Just because we might play one type of music, don't mean that we're not "schooled" in the other. I'm from SC and grew up on Southern Rock in the 70's.
Brad Paisley is the most underrated guitarist in popular commercial music. He's a legit badass guitarist. John Mayer runs home to his mom after hearing Paisley play.
Those people in the audience had no idea what was going on
Truth. 90% of those people didn't know what song it was.
Lol such a shame. How has Van Halen faded so much? I bet a lot of my generation wouldn't even know who Brad is either
exactly my thoughts...'hot for what? This sounds nothing like Wrapped Around'!?! Brad smokes on guitar but a shame so few people are able to look past what is fed to them as popular and right in front of them
nope
Vrad Haisley
srrings lol. That's a good one☺
Very nice!!!
Best comment ever!
You win
@@BrentBoere damn, beat me to it
Most of us don't realize what good musicians have to be to make it big. John 5 is a good example. Brad Paisley is a phenomenal guitarist.
Years ago I saw Brad on a country crossover show with John Mayer, and the two were pretty evenly matched.Both are great musicians.
Eddie Van Halen on corn bread!
droid1963 - Funny!
droid1963 .....lol ....awesome
Haahahaaha made me spit out my cereal.
Lol
I read that statement on a guitar world cover yeaaaaars ago. Lol
Brad’s tone and chops are always killin’ 🔥
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Well done Brad, and thank you for you’re wonderful tribute to King Edward.
I finally came around to Country Music and started listening to it and accepted it . I live in Seattle the Grunge Capitol. I am adopted and I am one of those who in my 20s went in search of my biological parents . Well I traced them to East Tennessee and found out they were brother and sister so my conscience just wouldn’t let me continue having contempt for Country Music .
I got here because of Pink Floyd covers and VH is my second favorite band. This. Is. Awesome.
Brad Paisley just blew my mind. Had no idea what an excellent guitar player he is. Rock on!
i got new respect for Brad Paisley
Yeah, this is painful to watch. He knocked it out of the park, but the audience didn't get it.
He didn't even bother to sing anything but the chorus👎 Lame
Fuckin A, he just brought it up a notch and they stared like he was passing out bibles out front of the stadium
@@michaelfugate2404 If I went to see a BB King concert, I wouldn't want to see him rap either😄. Lame 👎
@@7ate992 anyone should be able to appreciate the talent it takes to pull this song off. Stop being a bitch
@@shreddievanhalen1 Tons of cover bands have done it better, moron😄. He only sang the chorus and he's in the middle of his own concert. Lazy
I was at this show, thanks for sharing.
Was not expecting that! He's got chops and minus the sound quality here, he slayed that Tele.
Everybody is talking about Brad here, but his drummer deserves sooooo much credit… Alex Van Halen had to layer four different drum tracks to create the intro to ‘Hot For Teacher’ that ended up on the record and the drummer did a ridiculously amazing job getting that huge sound all by himself.
So many times I think to myself musicians only listen to their own genre but it's always fun watching them get into other styles and thoroughly enjoy it.
So what he didn't play it note for note. The dude is badass on guitar, he spent like the majority of his life being influenced by anyone and any band that had a standout guitar player. He's having fun and that's what it's about.
Even original artists play songs different live.
He was trying to add some country flare to a VH song and he did an awesome job!Playin about 30 yrs mself and I liked it!
Not a fan of country music but this guy is a legit talented guitarist! He can play.
Brat Paisley. Here's one of the few, all-around accomplished, musicians. A rare talent. A gift to all who can appreciate what he brings to the music table. Truly amazing.
First heard brads music in the movie Cars when I was about 6 years old I loved Behind the clouds and When you find yourself
I was hooked on his music and hearing cover all different genres made me have even more respect for him. I would love to hear him studio cover Hot for teacher.
seen Brad Paisley live. one bad ass guitar player.
Music is music...doesn't matter where or who it comes from. If you like it you like it, if you don't, then you don't. Nothing wrong with learning new genres.
I'm not a country music fan but I'm a Brad Paisley fan.I saw this years ago & he blew me away with the skills! THEN he popped up on the GOT collaboration with Scott Ian, Nuno Bettencourt, Tom Morello and blazed away again. The looks on their faces says it all! Well do Brad!
I'm officially a Brad Paisley fan.
Super refreshing and entertaining.
👏🙂 Bravo!
