HHHMMMMM🤔🤔🤔??? The Force is strong with this one !!! Obi One has taught you well !! Mee old ears hear bends spot on !! Loved the cover sir !! Saw them at The Towson Center in Baltimore MD 1981 ... Mannnn they loved using stage fog back then -- I could hardly make them out 😂😂😂😂!!!

[@GeneSchmidt]

Hey! Thank you so much for the kind words and the Star Wars references 🤣. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

[@hkguitar1984]

Excellent Gene. I remember learning this song back when it first came out back in 1979! We actually found a guy who could sing in Rik's upper range! I burned up many a cassette decks and tapes back then. Awesome to see you play it, spot on.

[@GeneSchmidt]

Wow! You found someone who could sing Rikk Emmet? That’s awesome!!! Thank you for watching and the kind words as well ❤️

[@hkguitar1984]

@@GeneSchmidt indeed we did, that said we were all teenagers back then. Once our vocalist hit 19 years old his range dropped down to Molly Hatchet territory..............LOL I miss the good-ol days Gene. In 1976 I paid $400 for a brand new Fender Twin Reverb and $565 for a brand new Gibson LesPaul Deluxe.

[@GeneSchmidt]

@@hkguitar1984 Oh man! Totally miss those old days!!! Yeah... things are crazy expensive now!

[@hkguitar1984]

@@GeneSchmidt They are indeed. A couple years back I was fortunate enough to score a great deal on a used Marshall 1987x and have it converted to true Plexi specs (new output transformer). Things I'd taken for granted for years are shockingly expensive now. And I'm just talking about straight vintage style rig/equipment, I've not even started putting together anything digital for recording. As it stands I'm still 100% analog for amplifiers and effects! That leaves me in a good and bad place at the same time! I kept my original Twin Reverb I purchased in the '70s, I'm running a dual amp setup now with the Marshall and the Twin Reverb. Thank goodness I don't play out anymore as I've not eaten my Wheaties enough to easily move those amps on a regular basis!

[@GeneSchmidt]

@@hkguitar1984 very very cool! I came really close to buying a Twin Reverb last year. In hindsight, I wish I had. I have a JCM800 (1983) 100w head and matching slabs 1960a slant 4x12. Got both together in 1995 for $650! I will never sell it because I will never find a deal like that again.

[@geraldhartley]

Great job! Such a beautifully written Rik Emmett classic. You played it very well. The frame at 3:15 was some added good humor!

[@GeneSchmidt]

Hey Gerald! Thank you so much for watching and the kind words!

[@geraldhartley]

@@GeneSchmidt I love your Epi Double neck too! I’ve got a Chinese knockoff in white just like it. I’m sure yours plays like butter! Maybe someday I’ll upgrade. 💪

[@GeneSchmidt]

Ha! I borrowed that guitar to do that video. You might be able to see an OLP doubleneck in the background. It was just unplayable - especially trying to play that tune. The downside with the EPI was the terrible access to the upper frets. I couldn’t play that solo on the EPI - ugh. I’m watching your videos right now. Killer! You have a great band. You guys sound awesome! You are super talented!

[@geraldhartley]

@@GeneSchmidt Aha! A borrowed guitar is better than none at all. Right, the access to the upper frets is tough on mine too!! Thanks for checking out my videos. I have a lot of old material - and some newer stuff with my band. We have a good time!!

[@GeneSchmidt]

[@edwinsheldon3068]

This is really impressive! Love the Brady Bunch reference

[@GeneSchmidt]

Thank you so much, Edwin!

[@Larzguitars]

That was killer man! What a beast of a guitar!! Nice job Gene!!

[@GeneSchmidt]

Hey man! Thank you so much and thanks for checking it out! You can probably see another double neck in the background. That one is mine and it was nearly impossible to play this tune on it. I actually borrowed the epiphone from my brother-in-law just to make this video - lol. Problem with the epiphone was that there just wasn't enough access to the higher frets 'for me' to play the leads, so I used my Hammer.

[@michaelsinn16]

Brilliant as always. Looks like it was shot at 5150 studios! A double neck SG too?? Daaaaaaayyuuuuuummm!!!

[@GeneSchmidt]

:) Thank you, Mike! Yeah... so I borrowed that guitar from my brother-in-law for this video. You'll see that there's another double neck behind me in the video. The 12 string on that one is just UNPLAYABLE. Unfortunately, there's just not enough neck on the white one to play the leads on it. But I'm actually really happy with how that hollow body played and sounded :)

[@rwazny]

Killer job!!! This is next on my to do list. I liked the fingering you used on the middle solo too.

[@GeneSchmidt]

@@rwazny thank you!

[@matsclaesson9465]

Thank you so much!!!!

[@brokenchains]

Wow, Gene what an incredible performance!! Video came out amazing!! Amazing how this band was a three piece!! Such a great song!!

[@GeneSchmidt]

Hey Jimmy! Thanks man! Yeah... I just love how orchestrated their tunes are. This one always gives me the chills! So luck to have found this backing track. It was so perfect with zero guitars on it.

[@brokenchains]

@@GeneSchmidt Sweet, let’s you improvise and do your own this with no guitars on it, I think Lance makes his own backing, he somehow erases the guitar parts

[@GeneSchmidt]

@@brokenchains i know he has started making his own from scratch and has also been able to go back to other ones he has done before and actually add in vocals that were missing by using some killer software.

[@buffaloweddingvideos]

This is So Awesome.Great video Gene.

@@tonymirabelli8516 that guitar belongs to Mr Rob Cascio 👍🏻 The double neck in the background is mine, but the 12 string is unplayable for that tune

[@angelbornpsycho13]

This is awesome and love the guitar

[@GeneSchmidt]

Thank you!!!

[@stevekrupey3611]

Interesting that the tail piece is more rear on that Epiphone. Kinda like the late 60's and early 70's custom 1275's BTW well done, that was fun to watch.

[@GeneSchmidt]

Hey thank you much! I borrowed that guitar to do the video from my brother in law. The upper register on the 6 string was way too hard to play for leads, unfortunately. But in all… that guitar is great. He sold it.

[@Studio31Zero]

Fantastic!

[@GeneSchmidt]

Dan the man! Thank you, sir!

[@RandomStrangerDanger]

Kick ass man! Great lead licks like always. I f'n love that double neck SG, now I may have to scope one out.

[@GeneSchmidt]

Thank you! I borrowed that guitar just to learn this song and do this video. I have an OLP double neck, but the 12 string was way too hard to play for this song. That Epiphone is set up so well and plays like butter. The downside was the 6 string neck just didn’t have enough fret access to play the last two leads on it.

[@Andyjefford]

That’s awesome,love it🔥🔥👍

[@GeneSchmidt]

Yep. You are right. It bothers me to the core that I didn’t do that. I got obsessed with trying to be clean and tight with the rhythms and overlooked that. Thanks for watching

Dude that was awesome!!! You friggin nailed all the parts. Wow! Btw how'd you get the Brady kid? Lol

[@GeneSchmidt]

Hey Hack! Thank you so much!!! Been working on it for awhile. I’m kind of panicking because the heavy rhythm track isn’t 100% synced with the audio 😩. My computer was HATING ME trying to stitch it all together - lol.
