    Mint dude! I would play the opening riff an octave lower tho... but it’s MINT!

      Yeah at the time I did this, it was the only backing track I could find and why they made it in E standard idk. And your right, the opening riff is wrong. Honestly there's a lot wrong with this video as I look at it over a year later lol. But it was fun to make at the time. I should do a corrected version one day soon.

    Man you nailed it! Judging by how hard this solo was to learn, I think you did a great job! Heck I wish I were playing it half as good as you. Ignore the negative comments and continue doing what you love!

    • @timhawkins2859
      @timhawkins2859  Před 2 lety +12

      Thank you very much! Your words are encouraging! I try not to let the negative comments bother me. To go through the effort to leave one says a lot about them. I would say 100% of those leaving negative comments couldn't play Smoke On The Water or Iron Man on their best day.
      I know this wasn't a perfect solo, wasn't suppose to be. I had just learned it a few days prior so... I'd say I did pretty good on such short notice. Thank you again for the kind words!

    • @timhawkins2859
      @timhawkins2859  Před 2 lety +15

      Well it's been out for several years, cost around $2000 these days. I guess thats affordable, at least compared to the Fender ones that came out years ago costing $25,000. Yes I would recommend this guitar. It plays great and sounds great. As with any new guitar, a good setup is needed.

  • @bloodandtears

    those tapped harmonics are the bane of my life.. would you say you had a particularly high gain tone to get them or is the guitar and pickups suited to make it easier?

    • @timhawkins2859
      @timhawkins2859  Před 2 lety +3

      Honestly it all boils down to practice. I had just learned the song a few day prior and didn't have it down well. I can hit those tap harmonics now much easier months later after recording this. I would like to redo this song a little later down the road to use as a progress guide. And my tone was really harsh and brittle but I had some new equipment and was kind of experimenting.

    • @timhawkins2859
      @timhawkins2859  Před 2 lety +1

      I do still struggle with those tap harmonics though. They plague me and make me sweat when I know they are coming up in a song. Some people hit them like it's nothing, it's always a struggle for me.

    • @TheGreenDay222
      @TheGreenDay222 Před 2 lety +1

      @@timhawkins2859 Tap harmonics in the beginning of the solo are easier to reach with half-step down tuning :) Try to tune your guitar this way (difficult on a floyd rose ahah) and play the solo with the "real" backing track you'll see the difference ! Anyway, it rocks ! Congratulations from France ;)

    How do you tune your frankenstrat in E standard. Cause my frankenstrat constantly untunes when I try to put it in E standard?

    • @timhawkins2859
      @timhawkins2859  Před rokem

      My best advise for any guitar with a Floyd Rose system is crank everything down tight. Your locking nut, tighten it down tight! Not to the point of stripping it but till it just won't turn anymore. Same with the tremolo saddles. Crank down the intonation screw at the front of the saddle as well as the allen bolt at the end of the tremolo to tighten the strings down. These are all key and very important to keeping floyd guitars in tune. Good luck and thanks for watching my video!
