Such a great jam, and the way it bleeds into switch...the song of my youth, and now the song of Friday nights in my garage with beers and friends Great playing!!

[@jameswhiteman9143]

Just frickin awsom.

[@acdcfenderman]

one of the few youtubers that looks like hes actually enjoying covering the song

[@LetItRocK561]

best def leppard covers on youtube!

[@josephrocco2954]

Awesome job!

[@jeffersononetwo]

@kdenn71 VST is actually a trademark of Steinberg Media Technologies in Germany ... is stands for 'Virtual Studio Technology' and is used with Cubase, Reaper, and many other sound recording software packages ... a VST can simulate a distortion pedal, or maybe a reverb or delay pedal and even Marshall amps and many other instruments. I have a couple of very nice free VST plugins for Reaper: a reverb & a compression - can really add depth to a recording & usually high quality sounds.

[@kdenn71]

@krisaf778 Tabs are just someone elses interpretation of how it is played as well. I used to get tab books but stopped when I realized that many of them are incorrect and thus a headache. KZbin is a great place to get a good idea of how something is played and I hope that my channel offers that to people who study DL.

[@ATeam192]

Awesome playing man.

[@MyHegarty]

awesome. Great job brother

[@sargehalo51]

You did both Steve Clark and Pete Willis justice...awesome cover!

[@HRjunky]

Great Sound!!

[@AAlexM]

Great Job!!

[@rkrk1504]

Thankyou for the reply,and I do agree ,and you sound great,I have played a few models and found the ones i liked were very pricey,2300 =+,just wondering if your model is expensive I like the color and have not found one in red until this video,and if you have any advise on ones to aviod would be great. I have a jvm 410 very versitile amp withcel 30 thanks rkrk1

[@abimacharigue]

PERFECT!

[@kdenn71]

@dhegarty Thanks glad you liked it. Switch 625 is a very simple song but so easy to mess up. :-p

[@laurelinemuller6323]

WOW !!!! YOU ARE SOOOO TALENTED =O

[@Satyr1975]

Dammit! I was gonna do this song next....hahaha. Ok, I'll probably do it anyway...but it's gonna be 90% identical to yours, it looks like we learned it the same way. I love your channel....keep it up!!!

[@kdenn71]

@206Bruce Yes he did. He had a very particular style.

[@AlbertoAlejandroLariosManzano]

Great, great great great

[@cedric64122]

Super mec!!! J'adore! Félicitations du "Pays Basque" l'ami!!!

[@austinbramer558]

cedric64700 hello james :)

[@kdenn71]

My understanding is the twin guitars in the studio recording were tuned slightly apart from one another on either side of A 440. My guitar was tuned to standard so it sounds a bit off.

[@kdenn71]

@mr18incher Thanks glad you like them.

[@Alexander4751]

11-24-12 I just discovered your vidz. I think you are great, btw you just got subbed. thx for sharing your talent.

[@MATTNMISSY]

What up Brother!! That was another awesome cover!! Hope all is well...Holler Back...Keep Rockin'...\m/ \m/

[@thundergodfan]

Good Job KD~!

[@kdenn71]

Thank you I am happy you enjoy them.

[@lagaborn]

wow very nice

[@rkrk1504]

Awsome playing,and sound,I want to buy a les paul but no nothing about them ,ie what pickups does yours have,what model is it ,I have tried a few models but i really like the tone from yours,my musical tastes are wide and would like one that can sound good for hard rock and blues any suggestions Thanks rkrk1

[@kdenn71]

@dmcbyvictor Not really. I just recorded it the way it is on the album. Well as close as I could at the time. :-p

[@TheFloydRoselover]

your so good on bouth of the songs

[@BrianCarroll88]

awsome dude !!! :D

[@TheUnicornslayer]

DUDE, Your Beast man.

[@aXegat]

Kool as bro 🎸👍

[@skate4thecross]

Tab for chorus starting at 5:30? I've seen alot of versions to play it on different tabs, but you sound closest to the way Steve played it. Appreciate the help, Clark's proud dude. All of Def is, I'm sure.

[@kdenn71]

@HRjunky Thank you!

[@kdenn71]

@rkrk1504 In terms of a guitar that fits you I can just say that I look for a feel that a guitar has. How it sounds in my hands unplugged. Then I try to find an amp that fits that guitar. It is a very personal choice. Take the time you need to listen to each guitar and find what you like. I am flattered with your comment because much of the tone comes from a player not just the guitar. For example you can tell Slash or Jimmy Page or Eric Johnson and Steve Vai from their playing not just guitar.

[@kdenn71]

@jeffersononetwo Thanks Jeff. I liked playing. What does VST stand for?

[@kdenn71]

@krisaf778 Yes they are.

[@kdenn71]

@krisaf778 I just play by ear so I wouldn't know. Does my way sound incorrect? That is quite possible.

[@jeffersononetwo]

Right on Kenyon! Man that was soulful ... great sound too (you should email me the manufacturer of the VSTs) - I know you are very technical so I bet you a LOT of work into that ... your Switch 625 was better than mine - I either wasn't fast enough or didn't know the notes. You nailed it bro ... love this album of songs!!

[@kdenn71]

@jeffersononetwo Sounds nice. I am not that fancy at this point. Right now I just have my Korg PX3 and that's it. :-)

[@bmanh2355]

nice what effects are you using?

[@kdenn71]

@DefLepp627 Thanks man

[@josephwilliams710]

Brother i Love " Def Leppard : Im a Guitarist myself & Yes it would be sooo cool to Jam with you Keep Rocking Man lol 😁 by the I like The Smile , Laughter in this Video i do the samething when I Play !!! 🎵🎶🎵🎶😛🎶🎵

[@bubbabragg]

Brotha! Can you do Foolin'?!

[@DaniGarciaMusic]

can you please make a tutorial? iv'e been dying to know how to play these two songs!! :D

[@kdenn71]

@LetItRocK561 Thanks again. :-)

[@kdenn71]

@DaniGarciaMusic Is there a certain part you can't see how to play watching this video?

[@kdenn71]

@MATTNMISSY Thanks Matt!!

[@HutchinsonNeil]

That was fuckin awesome, played with feeling.

[@kdenn71]

Sounds reasonable. When is it?

[@kdenn71]

@bubbabragg Been thinking of that one and Rock of Ages for a while. I may get to it in the future.

[@kdenn71]

@bustoutxxx That is a great song! This version is a little different though.

[@brittmccann]

Yasss!

[@LeaveTheTVOn95]

Great job man! What amp settings are you using for Switch 625 ??

[@kdenn71]

Fretboard theory is valuable to learning the structure of what you are doing. The ear is a muscle and listening is it's exercise.

[@turtle19dad]

Good job man. Love those two songs. How hard is it to learn them?

[@derekowen7254]

Do you take requests?

[@jacobdiaz5917]

Beautiful " great 👍 right on the money!" God forbid, if any Def Leppard guitar 🎸 player should pass away you mr. Kenyon should take over as lead guitar in Def Leppard, you are worthy" Mr.Kenyon, can you play us a little song from Belinda Carlisle ( lead singer from the Go- Go's, (Heaven is a place on Earth) when she went solo,that was a big hit for Belinda Carlisle. If you get a chance

[@kdenn71]

@abimacharigue Thanks.

[@sweetguy19762]

Kenyon Denning What amp and pedals did you use to get your tone?

[@ZokoDon]

In short, what equipment you use (pedal/proc, amp, settings)? Thanks in advance.

[@kdenn71]

@mikeike32 Thanks! No tabs. It's all ear.

[@levinelives]

How did you get that tone? sounds exactly like it was recorded on the album

[@kdenn71]

A great guitar can be addicting. :-)

[@GuitarRock94]

How do you play the part that switches over at 6:38

[@kdenn71]

@TheFloydRoselover That is a question for you to answer.

[@kdenn71]

@Satyr1975 hahaha Hey there is enough Lepness to go around. I look forward to seeing yours so hurry up and get it posted. :-p

[@cooperboy13]

@kdenn71 is that a 1959 Les Paul Standard?

[@TheFloydRoselover]

Is it hard to play this part 0:19

[@kdenn71]

@cooperboy13 Watch the videos and study what you can. If you have questions I will try to answer.

[@jameswhiteman9143]

Dude, you are awsome. What would you charge to come to Michigan for a night and play at a private party of mine on the lake. Air fair and hotel on me.

[@mikeike32]

awesome cover can u send me those tabs?

[@jameswhiteman9143]

It will be in September. Just have not booked the date yet. If you want 1,500. I will gladly pay you that. I will be in touch. Keep ROCKIN Kenyon. James

[@gusleung8245]

what amp

[@cguerraJazz]

What is the base tone? A minor?

[@dmcbyvictor]

do you consider "Bringin' On the Heartbreak" and "Swith 625" just one song?

[@kdenn71]

@liljimi321 Production values. IMHO

[@thegiantnexevil-nexevil8950]

04:25

[@kdenn71]

@cbarrett34 Thanks

[@-Diamond-Dave-]

[@01skynyrdfan01]
