Pretty good Youtube player

So you're saying gimmicks > solid playing?

By the way, there's no string skipping in the PG version. It's played on three strings tuned in octaves, Paul uses no more than two fingers at any one time. A dude stands there like a dork with his finger. Flashy.

Why do you keep saying 'garden variety triad arps'? It's the song. Those are the arps. He played them well. What more do you want?

I don't understand why you're saying this guy deserves no kudos for his playing. UNLESS you can do it better. Apparently better means more gimmicks. Play it with your face while solving a rubix cube and breaking out of a safe or something? I don't know.

nothing special.. counting the fact that he just changed to sweep picking.. but good. but preeeetty good, no.

So yea, lets see you tackle Paul's song.

Oh, and what's so big about getting an A for audition. Let's here it so we can say, "Oh, that's an awesome piece....way to go!" You could've played a 2 chord folk song for all we know.

So what do you plan on doing with your BA in music performance? Teach us how it's done for real?

The class does 2 trips a semester to Hamilton island and tours australia once a year, what will this guy be doing? upload some more vids of other peoples songs? wow.

I think you're twice as good as the last guy but If the last guy is amazing then what are you? uber-dube-super-amazing?

[newbieguitarmaker]

suppositely he has been playing guitar for only 4 yrs so if thats true, its even cooler to watch the vid because that is pretty good for only 4 yrs, and I don't see why people are throwing around their ego's right now. Are you guys so blinded by ego that you cannot say anything good about someone. Most even pro players cant play things this clean, I mean yeah there are so mistakes but it is human nature, also he would probably do Get Out of my Yard like PG if he felt like tuning 3 strings to E. Which I am guessing Paul uses different gauges than normal, and it would seem kind of a waste of time/strings if he would have just put 3 strings on his guitar with the possible weird gauges just to play this song, then he'd have to change strings again just to go back to standard tuning.

So you're saying that when YOU GO ON TOUR you'll be playing your music? Where's it at? Let's hear it!

I don't think anyone on this board knows you personally....as in real life. As far as we know you picked up a syllabus off the internet for some music course that just so happens to go on tour. Meaning that, anybody and talk smack. But only a few can actually back it up.

So lets hear you back all this talk up. That's all you've been doing since I joined this board - talk. Alot of it. Why not take a challenge and put it up or zip it!

Just chalk it up as Crevie is a talker and nothing more!! Simply stated, he's a wanna-be!! Actions speak louder than words and frankly I'm tired this continual BS

Eh hem...back on the TOPIC of the OP, I think the guy did a GREAT job and at least he's not afraid to put it out there for all to see

I agree !
I think it was also brave to play it with no distortion to hide behind. I thought he did a tidy job.

[Wild_Child]

Yep! There were mistakes but then I've seen PG make mistakes playing it the easy way.

I watched his cover of Altitudes by Jason Becker too, that was excellent as well. He seems to have his sweeping down a lot better than any other technique though. Not that his use of other techniques are bad, just his sweeping is lightyears ahead of them.

I assume Crevis is busy working on his rubix cube and safe cracking techniques as we speak.

Yea! Did you check out his other vids. He does some Jason Becker. Pretty cool stuff. I'm a sucker for Jason's music anyways.

I will play others songs but my own music (isn't that what jazz is?).

How do you have any more cred than me anyway, I don't recall you actually uploading a song. I did upload a song a long time ago if any remember it.

Refer to here!

[kotornut]

Well he's better than me. I can't sweep. I just can't get it down.



Crevis, you remind me of all the kids who played guitar in my high school that went to GC like it was a battle ground. Since when has music been a competition? I always thought it was an art. Maybe I was wrong and it, instead of sports, is the place where we strive to see others fail and the best become victorious.


This competition ideal from guitar players is getting old, really old. Art is about sharing ideas and cooperation. There is a place for competition and it's on the field, ring or court. Not on stage.

This is extremely hypocritical, people on here bitch to no end about kurt cobain and punk ****ers killing guitar, I'm doing the same thing the only difference is that I'm being critical of music you like.

Your other point is scalable in the same way, I feel the same way about you guys that you (and I at the time) felt about the kids at the music store, you're here because you desperately want approval and recognition.

Tell me you guys enjoy playing as much as Joe and Ella did.
