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

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!

Great work! Really great fingering

I'm interested, is there some kind of Cannon D competition going on? I've seent he Jerry C vid...is everyone now doing their own versions?

Well i saw the jerry C vid quite a while ago, never thought about covering it... but then about a month ago my mates at uni started going on about it... i gave it another listen and thought hmmm i should learn this, since i basically never learn any songs.

That was very impressive, and I swear i'm going to nail that song one day.
AoH, how long have you been playing? / Have you ever had lessons or anything?

I had lessons through school, but not really in technique... really just turned up and played Oasis etc... never really practiced outside of lessons until later.

and for those that are interested i use an Ibanez RG1550 and a v-amp 2 (into my soundcard)

yeah i love Extreme...

Nuno is great, wish he still did more shred stuff though

I think hes playing in a Funk sort of band called Population 1... but that might be the name of their album, not sure.

Actually i think hes in an even newer band now... cant remember.

I think Nuno is embarrassed of his shred history... so i heard anyway... shame, cause it rocked
