[@jonescarwashboutique]

Thank you so much!!! it's an honor to get the first 10/10 of the series, and the full video is on our channel for your viewing pleasure

[@laurensbronsveld]

It sounds great! Love the vibe of the song and the location provides such a cool sound👌

[@jonescarwashboutique]

also worth noting, he's playing through 2 tubescreamers ;)

[@jasonlee8497]

Nice sounds guys. I mean really nice.

[@andbenitz]

That was some nice guitar playing! Best one so far

[@AndrewLynchMusic]

Andrew here who played the Journey solo. Rhett, thank you so much for the feature and the 9.5/10 rating! 🙏🎶🎸

[@aaronjanusch6090]

I'm not a huge Journey fan, but, man, you NAILED that!!! Awesome job!!!

[@footnotedrummer]

Dude... Amazing solo. I'm a huge Schon fan, and I LOVE this solo. Great job!

[@txc123]

I bump that 9.5 to 10, sounded identical when I saw him play it live. Sounds amazing and great playing with the right feel. What kind of guitar are you playing there Andrew?

[@AndrewLynchMusic]

@@txc123 thanks ha, all good fun, that’s a Moniker from Austin, TX

[@TheNino37]

No, Andrew, thank you for that legit solo!

[@alexanderjoewinterbone676]

I reckon this is one of the most constructive and informative shows on the internet right now.. Rhett's commentary is so natural and intuitive. Artists helping artists is a world of win.

[@queirozdavi]

Hey Rhett!! Thank you very much for your kind words and advice! I got really emotional! I really can’t express myself! Loved the series!

[@RafaRGCL]

Congratulations man 9/10

[@TheFuzzFunk]

The song the guy is playing with that Deusenberg is Inhaler by FOALS and you should jam that record its from!

[@Chris-MusicTheoryAndFretboard]

Love that song. I think Christian did a really good job!

[@thomasschrein7584]

Jones car wash slow blues was just perfect. I could listen to that all day.

[@lawrencesears7255]

This is why I love you tube. I love hearing musicians that I would otherwise never discover. There are so many phenomenal people making music who may never become mainstream acts or receive the promotion they deserve. Big thumbs up to everyone who submitted.

[@Sammywhat]

Jones Car Wash was truly worthy of a 10/10! (imho) The vibe and tones were just right. And that's not easy to pull off in a parking garage. Many times stuff gets too boomy when dealing with all of those reflective surfaces. Loved the dotted 8th note riffs, too, Rhett! That is a fun way to practice for sure!!

[@jonescarwashboutique]

Thanks!!

[@duanecrooke3388]

Great job to all entries, love this series. Great job Rhett!

[@cdemike7517]

Really enjoy how welcoming and constructive this series has been.

[@edphaze6550]

I love when you do these on your channel! Thanks for all you do, brother.

[@scottgibbs5903]

They were all great! So much talent out there.

[@71goaliemask]

Good stuff all round, and it's so nice to see a truly positive series like this...

[@aaronjanusch6090]

Thanks, Rhett! This is a cool idea! Glad to see you're keeping it going. Have a good one, man!

[@TheBhannah]

we love you so much Rhett !...tone is so important for the enjoyment of music !

[@scottkidwellmusic9175]

An episode full of tone! Thanks, Rhett!

[@dalecoffing8655]

Don't know how I missed this from 2 years ago? It takes some "balls" to lay it out there for for the whole world to see. Some really great playing.

[@HeyRay07]

Absolutely love this format of video. Really cool to see other musicians creativity in playing, with their own style and uniqueness. Keep it up!

[@chucklakeridge7944]

Rhett, thanks for providing this kind of tone analysis. As a tone chaser, this is quite helpful to think about all the details I'm not normally paying attention to that affect the sound.

[@bpittman440]

Damn. I believe this is my favorite new series. Good job Rhett for giving this a shot, and damn fine job to all who are submitting! I know I'll be searching out the bands that were named and checking out some of the KZbin Channels of the submissions!

[@bluzzjazz]

Lots of fun Rhett, keep em coming!

[@cheezyridr]

you have a unique way of being fun, and sometimes, it works really well. this was one of those

[@evansiegel925]

Great concept. Really enjoy these vids.

[@rickywreck5317]

Great video, great series. Thanks Rhett!

[@neiladdison5614]

Great series. Looking forward to the next one! Thanks!

[@gibtube88]

I’m so hooked on this series! 👍🏻

[@bobkrause0103]

Great job as always Rhet

[@davidthompson5846]

Mad props to the gentleman that played the Journey solo! The perfect take!💪🏻👍🏻😎

[@kevinbecker1438]

You created a format that has to keep going. Love to hear what everyone else is doing. No auto tune please. Thanks Rhett.

[@michaelwillinger]

Some great submissions! Great job 🤘

[@Ryan_F.]

Awesome solos! This is a fun series!

[@allengoeddey2719]

Great stuff, luv’n this series

[@rickcorkum89]

perfect cover of the perfect solo! big props, that blew my fookin mind

[@themikepadua]

Thanks for making us smile today, Rhett.

[@footnotedrummer]

Christian... great tone! I loved everything about it. The fuzz was killer, man!

[@kevincothron5089]

Some really nice playing from all the submissions. The journey solo was better than the record. Loved the recording in the parking garage.

[@brianoverby8738]

Love the rating system! Seems legit!

[@fred5613]

Come on Rhett. That Journey solo was a 10 +

[@BParker55]

That dude just played that Journey solo, tone and feel, better than the original. Great job!!!

[@Lorneplumber]

Yeah but no. Not even close

[@dirgmario]

Better than the original is an overstatement. It’s very great, that’s it. No need to over hype it.

[@BParker55]

@@Lorneplumber opinion 🤷‍♂️

[@BParker55]

@@dirgmario I did immediately listen to the song after and preferred this dude's tone 🤷‍♂️

[@dirgmario]

@@BParker55 but that’s your own preference. Which is fair and valid, but It’s very different to say “oh, I like X guitar tone more that Y” than to say “oh, this person did it better than the original”. Specially since you mentioned something as subjective as feel. Didn’t mean to be aggressive or anything.

[@damagecontrol60]

Thanks fo a great series, Rhett - great idea allowing players to display skills and get your pro feedback! Playahs…. Great job on the Journey! Great job on the other performances, too! Nice snare flams in the garage jam!

[@rraiola123]

You're an awesome dude to do something like this.

[@marknachmias423]

Love this series. The rating thingies are a great add on

[@postbyte1]

When you talk about the delay repeats I always play them within time. Thanks for explaining that concept to others.

[@darielguitar]

OH MAN! THIS MADE MY DAY! Thanks man!!

[@MichaelWilliams-yt2ez]

I got give props to everyone who put there stuff up for us to hear. For some people it’s not that big of a deal. You’ve played in front of many people or are in a band. For others like me who are just learning guitar and putting out a piece you’ve been practicing may make you think there is no way I’m good enough to post. But this encourages me to keep going. Everyone did really awesome. I can’t wait to hear from more of you on this challenge.

[@Hikaru109Ichijyo]

great submissions, and awesome playing, inspiring too

[@footnotedrummer]

Man!... that Jones Car Wash song was amazing. I really love that slow blues feel. Made me think of Robin Trower (maybe Bluebird???). Great job!

[@phillipasby9202]

really nice playing and tones across the board!

[@BrianOboylemusic]

Dope idea… very cool Rhett. This guy did well too! I tend to overplay on loop stuff

[@geoc3956]

Some great talent. Digging this, keep going.

[@davidwendel7839]

All you guys nailed it

[@8KilgoreTrout4]

That first song was epic! That just sounded great

[@zramse00]

Great job everyone. that was awesome!

[@AGuitaristWithNoName]

6:26 he killed that solo! The playing and the tone. I’m deeply impressed.

[@rcc3music]

You are genius for doing this. Engagement. Great work on your channel as always.

[@krisyoungsteadt9139]

Excellent!

[@samuelmildenstein8954]

Your vid’s always inspire me to pick up the guitar and keep practicing. Great video as always, Rhett

[@sugatooth]

Love that Journey cover!

[@paulajohnson139]

Great format. Love your constructive criticism.

[@joestrat2723]

Cool. Some good players for sure.

[@wbertie2604]

Well deserved 10. That really was spot on.

[@PeteBreen]

Love this series. The Neal Schon solo cover was brilliantly perfect.

[@AndrewLynchMusic]

Thank you so much!

[@erickmo1188]

This is a great new video segment

[@davidoreilly7328]

Hopefully this becomes a regular series

[@Haku_records]

The tone police is back!! Stoked for round 2!

[@davidhoxit4274]

That landslide rating scale cracked me up, thanks for the laugh and the knowledge!!

[@dieselman7453]

Great stuff bro I just left my cousin s studio here in Ireland and he said you were the guy to watch I love the videos thanks bro 👍👍

[@1970Richiez]

All good man!!!

[@jameskozlowski9925]

Love the series. The Jones Carwash guys are amazing. Could listen to these guys all day.

[@jonescarwashboutique]

and you can!! we really appreciate it, thank you:)

[@davidevans3175]

Journey solo guy is a school on how to bend up to actual notes, not just bend up to whatever is close.

[@felixeduardomartineztejada9451]

Buenísima Dariél!!

[@fredianacci8283]

I love the Rose Royce Reference!

[@taylormoon3561]

I feel like these videos cram as many different tones/rigs into as little time as possible and that is the guitar content I signed up for.

[@bcook6960]

Jones Car Wash really was great. These are cool episodes. Hope your recording trip is going well.

[@tymeryder7264]

I like this interesting series, looking forward to next episode

[@thebestian]

dig this video type, we all get to learn together!

[@jeffreyhayden3160]

I have the same strat you have! Mine is mid 90s and love it!

[@jesselawson224]

Love the measurements of awesomeness! Reminds me of a desk of cheese-it’s!

[@pierheadjump]

⚓️ Thanks Rhett 😎

[@simontemplar3359]

Not surprisingly, another great video! I really appreciate the positivity and constructive feedback. Great stuff! I also think you have an interesting angle vs other guitar guys out there- you share stuff that could touch on playing, producing, gear knowledge, etc., which is rad. Also P90s. You get it. :)

[@the4spielburgs]

Inhaler by foals is the delay one , goes off live!

[@lawrencewoody3544]

Andrew Lynch, your tone is unbelievable. I would eat that tone if I could.

[@AndrewLynchMusic]

Hey thank you! Bridge humbucker with the tone rolled back a bit > compressor > RAT > Suhr Badger 18 > Suhr Reactive Load IR > DIG > Flint > stereo into Logic

[@mralgebro]

#3 was sick! Way to go Andrew 😲

[@AndrewLynchMusic]

Thanks 🙏🎶🎸

[@splashesin8]

Enjoyed this very much❣️☄️💥⚡️✨🌟

[@joeb3590]

This is awesome

[@kimL93]

Jones Car Wash superb simplicity at the best

[@careerminorleaguer]

You should definitely put up links to the original videos in the description! Finding I have to dig through the comments a bit to find these players

[@birdman24k10]

Crying in a loop - Mateus Asato. I NEED this tone.

[@chris4mac]

Awesome video man! I would love to hear about your understanding of rhythm, and how you got your strumming hand chops. Also would love to hear you chat with a drummer about that, as a drummer myself!

[@harrisonedwards5125]

Rhett, The way you play that phrasing on "Hell or Highwater" Is the same phrasing/ technique Allen Collins used on the "What's Your Name?" That is one of my favorite if not favorite solo you wrote!

[@akasgsvirgil9503]

Credible sources say that Neal Schon recorded the solo in Who's Crying Now with his black Les Paul Custom using the neck pickup (not Black Beauty) through a Fender Twin with a wah peddle slightly open. That's how he got the tone we hear in the studio recording. During live performances during the 80's, he would typically use a Roland G505 midi guitar (with a Roland GR-300) which was a red and white strat shaped guitar with a humbucker in the bridge position to play Who's Crying Now. But, if you look at enough video clips from the 80's, Neal Schon can actually be seen using a variety of guitars to play Who's Crying Now, including Les Pauls, Fenders, PRS and some others.

[@samueltavares3020]

Jesus, that guy of the first video really nailed it. Man, what a melody, what a tone.

[@larrypower8659]

I’m with @Pete Breen - great series of vids, Rhett. Always nice to hear good stuff, plus learning something about guitar recording techniques. Love the last vid. A “garage band” for real!.

[@SimpleManGuitars1973]

I literally just heard Who's Cryin' Now while ago and I was surprised by how subdued his tone was for that solo. I honestly thought he might have even been using an envelope filter to get that flattened sound like that.

[@heckatron2586]

That garage solo was siiiiick

[@thenormalyears]

when I was in college me and some buddies recorded in a parking garage late one night this just reminded me of that good times I wish I had that recording

[@electroKrunch]

Dig it, Rhett! Please keep this series going, I'd love to send something in with some boomer bends ;-)

[@wayneavanson]

Guitarmonies. Great word.

[@colaboytje]

That last video seems to be a video clip, made after it was recorded. It could be that it's a home recorded track, and that reverb was added to the entire mix. Sounds great though and great playing.

[@Macmax7077]

I know Dariel, it is surreal u can rate him! TY!
