Cherub Rock Cover -Smashing Pumpkins.

[@SimaBustami]

Thanks a lot everyone...I was forced to take a long break from playing because of a finger injury...but i'm happy to say that my finger has finally healed. :)

[@Spitfire-zx7rj]

with the way you play, no wonder your fingers hurt. i can feel the pain just from watching you play

[@JamesMcCutcheon]

I am glad to here you are ok. I had my left elbow crushing in an accident in 2008 and could not feel my left hand. They did a complete elbow replacement with titanium, a year in therapy and I am now playing and teaching. At age 65 I am fortunate I have been playing since age 14 and the Guitar is my passion. Don't EVER STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@tru816indo]

Sima B what happened? How long of a break?

[@Mindrex327]

Please show us your EYES ! We want to see !

[@XChristianNoirX]

@@tru816indo probably playing the Soma solo? This one already gives me blisters. The soma one makes my fingers bleed 😂

Neither corgan nor iha can play that well live....

[@lordofakyab6054]

James iha with breasts

[@TheSiameseDreamer]

Love the "billy slides" during the solo. It's one of my favourite features of his playing.

[@josephpapp8566]

I have so much trouble replicating those. I have no clue on how its being done.

[@olivermiller8943]

To make them you just basically slide all the way down the low e string really fast and maybe go back up

[@yoyo89ish]

On a real note.. I’ve been playing guitar for 23 years and I can promise you my friend.. you’re flawless

[@Hallalo]

That’s true. That cover is damn accurate but the song isn’t that hard. The solo is nothing compared to the guitar solo in smoke on the water

[@neonballroom93]

Easily the best cover of this song on here, nailed the solo!

[@chefpoet1972]

Totally agree. Best cover of it on youtube

[@HexYzeE]

what about the Nomakills one ?

[@caseyjohnson9840]

Nomakills doesn't do the solo correctly, but its correct in this cover.

[@HexYzeE]

Ok. He found it by ear I assume. I follow him since years and when he doesn't read sheets while he plays it's because he found notes by ear xD

[@TheSiameseDreamer]

By a million miles

[@claytonclark2447]

The 35 people who gave this thumbs down are straight haters. She crushed that solo

[@sharkclub1]

35 people are TURDS.

[@remopiwak6026]

You are one of the few that actually pull the solo off! kudos for that

[@PassTheSnails]

I like how you whammied alot during the solo, for that extra star power

[@jayt717]

Cvo777 Whammied? I saw a lot of vibrato...and zero use of the whammy.

[@1234bellamy]

Cvo777 there’s no whammy during the solo. That’s called vibrato

[@kakashihatake6176]

[@jayt717]

kakashi hatake The joke didn’t completely go over my head...I thought he seriously was calling vibrato “whammy.” I got the Guitar Hero reference. But now that I read it again, I see the whole comment was a joke 🤣

[@qunlu1257]

This is the best Cherub Rock cover I have ever seen on youtube! You're so great!

[@ezavala]

Shame I can't give this another like. Superb cover. Probably the best I've seen on KZbin.

[@PsyberCelt]

Observation. You're not trying to play the guitar... you're letting the music come out through your fingers. There is a big difference to me. Love the music.

[@Subto-SammySPlays]

@Rick Burton. Enquiry: are you trying to be HK-47 or Red Tornado there?

[@roamlikekane]

Awesomely brilliant. You've captured the sensuality in the bends and distortion, your playing is very relaxed and natural.

[@pineapplejuice87]

My god! This is literally the best cover of this song EVER!! so good! Amazing job!!

[@gabriel84]

I come back to this cover at least a couple times every year and every time I shed a tear of joy

[@michaelswart9236]

Absolutely perfect! The solo was amazing, and the SUSTAIN!!!!!

[@tomneal1789]

This is such a sick riff, just so so sick and so original.

[@Cherrytea558]

OMG Sima you killed it! Great job.

[@muhammadtaimoor3396]

Incredible especially the solo. It sounds just like the recording. I have been trying too and its very hard to replicate

[@deansley174]

Awesome!

[@TheSiameseDreamer]

Unbelievable work on the solo. I'm so blown away! First time I've seen someone get it so close. Wonderful

[@tekdragon]

i wasnt sure if you were gonna go for the solo or not lol. YOU ROCKED IT! perfectly executed performance. sounded awesome! great tune and great cover

[@Wargasm644]

Very nice. And on a Squier! That makes it that much cooler. You deserve a nicer guitar with that skill. Not that there’s anything wrong with the Squier. On the contrary, it just shows what you can do with any guitar if you just practice. Very well done. Bravo 👏🏻

[@miastrong151]

I have never liked any guitar I have owned that cost more than $500. My favorite guitar I ever had was a Godin SD that was stolen from me that I bought for $200. I have a $2,500 HSS Custom Shop Fender that I could not give a lick about.

[@Sticknub]

It appears to be a $200 squier affinity, but it looks like she changed the pickguard, and judging from how good it sounds, I'm assuming she also changed the pickups. Squiers are actually very good bases for mods, and with some tweaking and customization, they can be even better than a Fender

[@Wargasm54]

@@Sticknub I actually bought a Squier. It was a Squier Contemporary with actives. I’m a Les Paul guy, and have some really nice custom shop Gibson Les Pauls and some killer ESP Eclipse guitars. But I bought the contemporary Squier brand new for under 200$ just to have a strat style guitar laying around. I’ve actually upgraded the Floyd Rose to a real Floyd rose and replaced the pickups with EMGs. It’s a killer guitar for the money. I still prefer my single cut guitars. But that Squier plays pretty damn good for 1/20th the price of some of my guitars. Perfectly good guitar for all skill levels. Amazing at that price. The Squier sits proudly next to my Gibson’s and ESP’s.

[@kylecope7554]

@@miastrong151 i will buy the fender for $100 if you don't want it

[@douglaschristine8387]

Excellent technique and killer vibrato of one of my pumpkin favorites. Thanks Sima.

Pure awesome! I was feelin’ it the whole time and you NAILED that solo. Well done.

[@halliecoors8103]

Have watched this so many times.. never gets tired. Just "Rockin"..

[@jamesanthony7994]

I hope you are doing well. Not only is the playing immaculate but the tone is perfect which is so often the problem when covering a song. Great job!

[@pisci022]

flawless... excellent work young lady!

[@santos6394]

Loved the cover! I'm hoping to get my first electric guitar in the next couple weeks and seeing other people asides from the actual band playing my favorite songs is very inspiring!

[@ImpShimadon]

Sima you Armageddon beast that you are !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That cover was a bullet to my brain .. I think this and also Soma cover you played before of the pumpkins, are such a good examples of guitar music that's not all about speed and accuracy, but also about vibe \ groove \ feeling, you name it. If I may suggest, you can cover "Here is no why" of the smashing pumpkins, also has a great solo. In fact, the solo is made up of 2 guitars playing together, so you can do both and split the video !! This we'll be something worth watching !!!

[@mf-h3659]

Dont know if youve done this, i would recommend finding a copy of the official tab book and seeing the real interestin chords Billy uses for the chorus and bridge. Its not just straight barre chords/5s. Gives it a real interesting flavour! for chorus its essentially a single octave+rootnote triad single shape that he slides to the different E string positions, and then the bridge has some real funky changes between octaves, 10th fret A string Gs etc. Take a look! The solo looks real spot on. The main problem is playing it over the top of the original track so its hard to know which effects (feedback, harmonics etc) are coming from the immaculately fingered positioning, that blurs the line between miming cover. Looking at your other vids tho im pretty confident youre just nailing it anyway :)

[@uItrachile]

so awesome......i love this version. thanks for sharing.

[@LIFELOVER715]

That slight little bend on the 11/13 octave and vibrato on 9/11 octave...I see what you did there. Never occurred to me to throw those in there until just now....amazing how something so subtle can make it sound so much better. well done! !
