I play guitar to the best of my abilities, and I am a learning musician, just like everyone else who is a musician, so never expect anything to be perfect. I like learning solos perfectly when I'm learning a song, but I like to add my own twist to them a little bit when I'm making these videos. I don't only do cover videos either, I also make originals, and there will be more to come in the future. I try to master the songs I put on here, so don't tell me to learn a song and expect me to have it on here the day I learn it, and I suggest the same for you. You should take pride in your Youtube videos by trying to master the songs you play on here. I'm not saying the songs I play are completely perfect when I play them, but there are little, if any mistakes, and I try to do as many takes as I can until I meet those requirements.
I've been playing guitar since I was 8 years old, starting out playing System of a Down, Godsmack, and stuff like that. My Dad started me off playing, and he still teaches me a few things here and there, but for the past 2 years, I've been self taught.
Don't ask me where I get my tabs, because I play by ear. I get a lot of questions asking where I get my tabs. DON'T ASK ME!
Songs taken down by WMG..........
Betrayed- Avenged Sevenfold 4/30/09
Say it Ain't So- Weezer 5/5/09
Knights of Cydonia- Muse 6/2/09
This is the basic list of the bands I play songs from..........
Iron Maiden, Rush, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Killswitch Engage, Metallica, Weezer, Dream Theater, Foo Fighters, Bullet for my Valentine, Sublime, Judas Priest, Led-Zeppelin, ect....... (Note: This is only in a nutshell. I do play other stuff, but this is the major list.)
Ok, I do take requests, but there are some requests I will refuse. Here is a list of all the songs I DO NOT PLAY.
Black Sabbath- Iron Man, War Pigs
White Stripes- None
Any punk bands- None
Deep Purple- Smoke on the Water
Rush- Tom Sawyer
Ozzy- Crazy Train
Red Hot Chili Peppers- Dani California
Iron Maiden- Run to the Hills
Nirvana- Smells Like Teen Spirit
Hendrix- Purple Haze
Any shit: Which means any Death metal, black metal, thrash metal or any shit metal like that. I've gotten told that I know nothing about metal because I don't like the band "Sadus". Go ahead and check them out, I think they JUST learned how to play before they made they're albums, at least that's what it sounds like, lmao!
Metallica- Enter Sandman
There are more, but these are the major ones I had to list.
The reason I don't play these songs is because I feel they are too clich'e, meaning everyone knows these songs, even people in 3rd world countries. That was a joke, but I try not to play the extremely over-popular songs, and the extremely boring and easy songs. Everyone song on this list fits one of those requirements.
