[VIDEO] My cover of Canon Rock (That jerry C guitar vid)

ArmyofHarmony · 20 Mar 2006 at 16:06

Hey,

I just spent pretty much the whole afternoon trying to record this video, in total i made 34 takes... i messed up in everyone, its one of the most annoying songs in the world. Even snapped a string argh... thats 4 strings in 6 days (all thanks to this song).

but anyway I uploaded it for you to check out:
stream: http://youtube.com/watch?v=rFsa473bgWU
direct download: www.planetcarl.com/videos/fricanon.wmv

I was trying to do a real good job on this vid, but i simply just didn't have the will power to play this annoying song anymore, i don't know how many more takes it would have taken before getting it perfect

BTW the sound maybe out of sync slightly,

this is because i had to manually sync up the backing track, with my video with line in audio recorded on it...
Unforunatly my soundcard doesnt have the "what-u-hear" recording option which would have made everything a lot easier!

*impressed* but it still sounds like a track you'd hear in a Bill & Ted movie

RandomTom · 20 Mar 2006 at 16:27

Amazing video, I'm envious of your talent

great advice · 20 Mar 2006 at 16:37

Excellent finger work for someone of your age mate

Nitefly · 20 Mar 2006 at 16:55

Absolutely rubbish. Why would you want to play that? Seriously? Go learn how to really play the guitar and stop wasting our time?

Nah, only kidding, I havn't seen it. Just had to troll before anyone else

Oh you cruel devil you!

Really nice playing

Your legato was extremely fluid and overall the playing was extremely tight

Good job!

ArmyofHarmony · 20 Mar 2006 at 17:49

Thanks for replies,

Lol nitefly, i saw what you wrote before you edited the colour

great advice: Im actually 20, damn looking youthful...i was at the barbers the other day, and the lady goes "so did you have school today?", school?!!?!??!
I don't look that young, jees.

I'm speechless.

If you're ever in Stoke, I'll bang the backing track through a 5000 watt PA, put you through our lead guitarists rig and give you the choice of an Ibanez Jem7, Ibanez Bad Horsie or Ibanez DNA and you can blow our audience away.

Hilly · 20 Mar 2006 at 18:06

Not bad Friday... not bad at all mate, impressed.

Now, if you only practiced Mulch_dm like you do the guitar, you could have beaten me sometimes

Good stuff,

SidewinderINC · 20 Mar 2006 at 18:08

dont think i can really say much more than whats already been said, pretty damn awesome!

Carzy · 20 Mar 2006 at 18:09

Mightily impressive.

Andr3w · 20 Mar 2006 at 18:27

well done mate,like it

Andelusion · 20 Mar 2006 at 18:38

Congratulations on the dedication (and endurance) of learning it

Your Uni work must have suffered hehe

Garp · 20 Mar 2006 at 18:57

Thats good. Compared to some of the efforts been shown so far you've actually managed to get an element of expression into it. Don't fret about your mistakes either as it adds a human element to it, rather than it just being a perfect technical piece.

ArmyofHarmony · 20 Mar 2006 at 20:16

thanks for replies

hilly: lol, as i recall you banned me from a server for killing you too easily

anderlusion: Its the holidays now

so no real suffering

Locrian · 20 Mar 2006 at 20:44

AoH you kick Jerry's butt tbh

Your tone is much much nicer than his. I applaude thee

ElvisFan · 20 Mar 2006 at 21:31

I know nothing about about guitar playing but that was fantastic.

Thanks for showing it to us. :cool:
