    Love when bands do the tutorials themselves for us so we can learn it along with some awesome back stories of the song itself. Finger eleven doesn't get enough love IMO. This and living in a Dream are amazing songs. That and of course the famous song for Kane 😁 practically grew up with this band childhood wise kinda lol

    I like the force coming from "Paralyzer"...Also like the bass line, few notes spinning arround...very powerful and effective! Great!

  • @BitCrazed
    @BitCrazed Před 16 lety +1

    Ignore everything you think you know about the guitars you think you want. Then go to a decent store (or stores) and play with a ton of different guitars from different manufacturers. Even models from same manufacturer have different neck widths, pickups, etc. Listen to the guitars clean and overdriven. Try to listen through an amp the same/similar to your own at home. THEN decide. Ignore the name on the headstock - what feels and sounds right IS right!

  • @greyflap

    At 4:35 it kind of sounds like the riff to "The Cars-Moving in Stereo". Except I think Paralyzer made millions more than any Cars song ever did, which is too bad because The Cars made a lot of great music.

    I meant millions as in dollars only and only in comparison with any individual Cars hit, not colectively. But you'd be surprised how close the dollar amount for paralyzer alone would compare to all of the Cars hit singles combined. You have to consider that there's a huge pay scale difference between these two era's.

    Here's the deal. Yes, Gibson owns the Epiphone name but Gibson has Samick make the Epiphones in Korea.Gibson owns Epiphone but they are not made in the USA by Gibson. Epiphones are made in Korea by Samick. Samick is the largest guitar manufacturer in the world. They make guitars for many companies. They also make guitars under their own name. Some of the less expensive Epiphones are made in China.
