Guitar playing, that's about it. Maybe some demos of gear too. You never know!
Moron Police - Captain Awkward Guitar Cover
Gotta love this whimsical piece by the Norwegian band Moron Police. This actually originated as an anniversary present for my girlfriend, but it came out really well in the end!

Dream Theater - The Holiday Spirit Carries On (Three Solo Medley Cover)

The solos on this DT holiday track are a blast to play, and fun to hear all the melodies Petrucci managed to fit into only so much time!
Transatlantic - Reaching for the Sky Solo (Guitar Cover)
zhlédnutí 362Před 3 lety
2021 is officially saved with Transatlantic releasing their first album in 6 years! Roine did an amazing job in this one with all the changes. Per the music video, he's using a Gibson 335, but I used my Luke 3 for this cover. The wah is Crybaby 535Q with the sweep on the highest setting, no boost, and the Q turned down a bit for a sweeter tone. Amp is the Yamaha THR5. Using a Bogner Ecstasy Red...
The Rippingtons - Kings Road (Full Guitar Cover)
zhlédnutí 425Před 3 lety
Something a little different for this one. The Rippingtons are one of my favorite jazz fusion groups and they have some hidden gems throughout their discography. Kings Road is one of those tracks!

Rascal Flatts - Life Is a Highway (Full Guitar Cover)
zhlédnutí 27KPřed 4 lety
While I think Rascal Flatts has better songs in their 10 album library, Life is a Highway has one of their best guitar solos so it made the cut: naturally! Joe Don Rooney used a Gibson Les Paul into a Bogner Ecstasy 101b on the record, so I thought I'd use my modified Epiphone SG into my Bogner Ecstasy Red pedal. The amp is a Laney Cub 12R and the mic is an AT4040.

Ratt - Loving You Is a Dirty Job (Cover)

This was a fun one, and I feel Warren is one of those hair metal players who got lost in the mix, but his phrasing was up there with George Lynch in my book.

What it looks like trying to play something that you can't: haha Eric Gillette is a monster on this one and was my first exposure to him as a player.

Just some notes. A bit out of practice here but trying to get back into the swing of things!
Marco Sfogli - Memories (Guitar Cover)
zhlédnutí 163Před 6 lety
When I first heard this album years ago it blew me away and made me an instant Marco Sfogli fan. All this time later, this song really brings back memories (pun definitely intended.) Schecter C-1 into my THR5 And as always, Enjoy!
Music Man Luke 2 vs. Luke 2 BFR (True Gold PDN)

I sit down with my friend Pete to talk about the differences between our two guitars. This video is pretty free form, so just sit back and enjoy the banter! The EMG/EMG X pickups are 2 SLV Steve Lukather Single Coils and an 85 Humbucker.

Just buy a Gibson and thenn you don't have to do anything
Excellent
Would have been interesting to hear more details as to the upgrade. Did you change the pots if so what pots did you use? Thanks
you should have used the same preset to give more A B comparison
Es una broma noooo????
Dios mioooo!!!🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦
Lack of brightness just good for metal
distortion on single bridge mic is bloodthirsty 😤🤘
I have watched this video once before and thought I left a comment. I don't see it . I want to pay a compliment. Very cool guitar sounds great. Also nice playing.
Change the pickups and it will become an amazing guitar
What a cover, man, nice! Isn’t It Easy is second to this one
First thing I noticed were the knobs. If you hadn't explained that you had the pick ups replaced, I never would've known by just looking at it. You're definitely getting a nice sound out of it. I actually like the pick ups that come standard, and have no plans of replacing them, but, then again, I'm a three chord basher, so the original pick ups suit me just fine, but asI said, you're getting a sweet sound with your upgrades.
Sorry very sloppy playing, great guitars though..
if you are really sorry, why not spare the unnecessary comment? If you are not, why do you write it?
@@IntenseKravMaga if you can't take a little criticism don't post.
@@IntenseKravMaga if you're really upset, the please accept my apologies
Hello Gitarrero, why do everyone (total idiots) want to re-enact Steve Lukather ?????? What's the point, what's the sence in it ?????? Why don't you play anything of your own ?????? Sorry, yes, Steve is great, but the Lukather passages already exist with this exact pickup set, we don't need that again !!!!! Play something of your own and show us how you - just you and not Steve - how to use and interpret this pickup set! How good they are and what you - only you - get out of this set!
If you got the set feel free to upload your review and your playing
A little Chickenfoot riff, nice
never stop bro u to god
I have two Luke golds for sale both sealed new
Great tone.how did you get it
Great cover bro. Thank for the help. Can't use those lesson vids because they are way too slow.

Looks and sounds awesome.. Bought my son a chery satin e1 sg special. Put in passivs emg's, changed nut, knobs, tuners slapped on some crown inlays over the dots on fretboard and guitar looks and shreds as good as my Tony iommi model... Aswesome demo!!
Fkin awesome
It definitely sounds very authentic to the original song with the pedal! Great playing too man!
what about the cry for you tone???
2009, made in Indonesia, is the best serie of historia of SG Epiphone
Nice to hear how upgrades/mods can make a difference. I like those rock sounds. I just got one of these. I bought some $40.** Proline tuners, a set of D’Addario strings, and a Graph Tech nut. Just waiting for the nut to arrive in the mail. The neck is like perfectly straight, but the strings are a bit high from the neck. Did yours have a ‘strings too far from the neck’ situation, and we’re you able to adjust it without fret buzz?
Not sure why there's so many downvotes on this video, really sad to see :( You done a great job on one of the best solos ever recorded! :)
It's not really precise in a lot of places, that's why the many downvotes. :/ Marco Sfogli's cover is one of the best covers, if that's not the best, indeed.
Did that guitar come with a push/pull kill switch on the tone knob? I was playing my yesterday and realized the tone knob is actually a killswitch as well.
Dude, mine has that! I couldn't find anything about it anywhere, I just got it from a pawn shop like last week. It's kind of awkward to push the knob in though cause it has a good amount of resistance.
Radio-worthy tone there dude
Hello my friend i just wanna tell you that you rock !! :D have a nice day my friend !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very nice cover man. That sg looks really nice and sounds nice as well 👍🏻. Keep it up
Gents I got myself a BFR. It doesn’t appear to have a push pull knob. Are the active pickups always on if a battery is in?
Hi Jonathan, congrats! On EMG equipped Lukes there is no push/pull pot. The pickups are only "on" if your guitar cable is plugged in. So keep the cable out when not playing! Enjoy the guitar!
How many watts was that
Gents. Would you be interested in selling the Gold Luke2? Cheers Jonathan
Hi Jonathan. How much were you thinking?
Peter Kouretsos Hi buddy. There is one on e bat for just over1700 in mint condition but Purple. Thank you for getting back to me maestro
@@jayboy6895 no worries. This Luke II is a BFR with exclusive EMGX pickups and limited to only 200 pcs in this color. Thank you for your interest!
Peter Kouretsos . How much do you value it at Pete?
Jon I have two for sale
I have the same guitar black. Builders are flawless
Can you do a tutorial please . Thanks.
How much price of this??
I had to watch it again now that I know the secret! Sounds really good!!!
No,no,no,no 👎
Special is great because the neck pickup is in the right place.

Great job you just helped me make my decision. I already have a Luke 2 HSS, however I want. Luke 3 and the Guitar Center only has one with two hum bucker’s but your sounds Great you helped me make my decision it’s a done deal
Nice job . Thank you
Sounds real nice man. I to have and epi SG But the pro 400. White with Pau Ferro Fretboard. Had mine Plek'd and put a Tusq on it. Plays like butter sounds as good as any Gibson. O wait here come the cryers. Yea man but it's not a Gibson. Yea its and Epi. Just a name on the headstock. Fuck outta here.
great job, man. you've nailed this... now I want the full song! (jk) btw, have you learned it by ear?
Yep! All by ear. If only I had the time to learn an hour song 😋
lol, doesn't sound much like a gibson, but it does sound good,,, love that SD, i just got mine used yesterday because i wanted something cheap to try my zakk wylde EMG's in, probably could have made a better choice, but i was really surprised how nice it is to play, is there any tricks on getting a little more sustain out of these though??
Cool guitar cover
best I've managed on Motorsport 7 is 1:31.03
I have an epip sg pro stock pretty awesome i recent got a pair of stew macs vintage alnico 5s and i notice my sg come stock with alnico 5 i was wondering is ..is it even worth swopping out if its gonna sound the same ?
