Irwin Thomas - "I'm Buzzed" (Michael Landau)

Irwin Thomas performing "I'm Buzzed" at the Ulbrick Sound clinic, Cranbourne. With Chris Bekker on bass and Johnny Salerno on drums.

[@irwinthomas]

The last month has been the most humbling of my career.. Thanks for all the kind words.. ROCK!!! Irwin :)

[@irwinthomas]

I try to catch up every time I'm in the U.S. He's been a MASSIVE influence on my playing. Astonishing.. Irwin

[@MartinMillerGuitar]

So bloody good! Greets, Martin.

[@steviesspankin]

Love your playing bro... you and Brett Garsed ROCK! :)

[@kjphellboy]

Phrasing and tone...hell yes!!

[@timboech]

I had no idea who Mike Landau was. I had no idea what fusion music was. A friend told me I should see that. Than I stood first row at a Karizma concert in front of the Marshall JCM900 amp. The first minute was that kind of experience that you never forget in your live. I was completeley blown away. 11 years later I play in a fusion band ;-)

[@irwinthomas]

Keeps blowing me away.. Thanks again.. Also wanted to thank Mike for writing such a killer track.. He's the man.. All the best! :)

[@samuelvincentmusic]

Irwin Thomas, Johnny Solerno & Chris Bekker... F**king Awesome! Cheers to you boys... & Cheers To Ulbrick Sound... Peace.

[@65Magnifico]

Always loved Irwin Thomas's guitar playing!! And he's one hell of a great singer too!!

[@propofolau]

As a huge Landau fan, Irwin does a superb job.. Great tones too..

[@alancirwin]

Channeling the master for sure! Whoever the 7 people are that "dislike" this video must be out of their minds...or just jealous of wicked tone, feel, and playing. Keep rocking down under!

[@TheMrFunktastic2]

@jonsilence dude, do you even know who Irwin Thomas is? This guy is already a pro guitarplayer and you're giving him advice as if he's doing a recitle in school...

[@JacksonAmpworks]

holy crap!! that was great! :)

[@Richocaster]

Love it. everyone's awesome with special mention to the drummer. He's brilliant! Thanks Danielpoole for the share!5*****

[@antjoskur]

Soooo good. And the drums just rock. Thanks for posting this one.

[@NicoSchliemann]

much respect for that nice tone and nice tune...i love this song;) that was the first ML tune i ever heard and learned;)

[@qwertygitarr]

I'm speachless!!! Best I ever heard on youtube! Better than what I heard of Landau himself IMHO!

[@10kamonthonline]

absolutely brilliant from an even more fantastic player ... nuff said , just watch and enjoy

[@pippotones]

Great man...sounds good...this version is very very cool....PERFECT!!!

[@strangelove67]

Man! Your playing is an inspiration to watch. Killer strat tone and great overdrive. Thanks for posting this Irwin. Soaring! The band is hot as hell too. Peace

[@quinker6569]

one of the best......

[@speedsalot]

Nice choice of tunes. Landau is a monster. Well done!

[@baimguitar]

hii mr irvwin!!!..i'm a huge fans of u and ofcourse the southern sons...glad 2 find u hereeee

[@SchutzenKatze]

So good! And I too am a "Landau worshipper "- LOL ;-) Great playing - great chops!

[@SchutzenKatze]

Mr. Thomas, that was an outstanding take on one of Mr. Juicy's best tunes. Very cool - respect! And a great sounding amp too.

[@irwinthomas]

Thanks so much brother.. Johnny & Chris are f@%*ing MONSTERS! :)

[@twanghang]

This strikes me as what Cream would be as a trio if they were starting out now. Great synergy between the players and Irwin knows how to take his time and really build something.

[@tonytyrone88]

really good guys !

[@KingTabor]

Great! This song is already a standard among guitar players

[@Tobbias1]

Very good work man !!! Keep Rock...

[@MrCaribbean]

nice and smooth!,i like it!

[@roccotanto]

f%^cking AWESOME!!!

[@irwinthomas]

Cheers Thrash! Hope to see you at the Whitesnake support in Melbourne.. (Electric Mary is opening.. We're all very excited!!!) ROCK! Irwin :)

[@kwakazzr1100]

OH...MY...GOD!!! I'M BUZZED!!! That was friggin' AWESOME!!! Never heard of Michael Landau before tonight (I know it's Jack Jones/Irwin Thomas doing a cover). I could not take my head phones off the whole time. I'll be checking out more of Mr. Landau's stuff. That's going on the mp3 player for when I ride the Kwaka.

[@rodderzxr8]

Great virtuosity Irsy, it's great to see you just cut sick on the solo's! Tone out of both your playing and the amp top notch too!

[@irwinthomas]

The effects are from a cheesy little Sony GP-5 processor. :-) As far as pickups go front & middle are the new silent Seymour Duncans and the bridge is an old PAF. :) The Suhrs are pretty special.

[@dankgeetar]

wow, lots of ideas! good shit

[@irwinthomas]

Also.. There's a couple audio clips on the Ulbrick website that you can check out.. ROCK!

[@tracebrem]

awesome, the guitarist has got the landau thing down..

[@josexara]

excellent jose

[@bumzigan]

I have to say I enjoyed this more than the original. Great playing by all. Solid rhythm section and that kind of guitar playing really moves me. Even though no one can touch Vinnie on drums, I prefer the way Johnny plays this. Fantastic.

[@Andrewkafp]

Irwin (AKA JACK Jones from Southern Sons)is touring Aus with Mossy (Correct me if I'm wrong). Great guitarist and really added some punch to Farnsy's line in the 90's

[@blackstratblues]

Sick playing dude. You need to cut a live album : ) Any plans of playing in New Zealand Let me know!

[@irwinthomas]

Hey there spaceman. The cabs on either side of the quad are 'wet' cabs. They only have the 'effects' coming out of those. The center cab is th 'dry' cab. There's a 'tap' off the speaker going to the center cab, feeding the effects and a power amp. Hope this helps.. Thanks a lot. (pedal is a tube screamer) :-)

[@irwinthomas]

Daniel. P/Ups are Seymour Duncan Silent Single Coils. Bridge is a Vintage PAF. Amp is my coveted Ulbrick Stadium 120. Hope this helps! All the best! :)

[@irwinthomas]

Mary Rig is 12AXE (Ulbrick), Megladon, (Ulbrick) Wah. Arion Chorus. :)

[@DrHaze1111]

HOLY SHyyyyyyyet!!!!! I may have just soiled myself. This is off its skull, the 3 of you are WEAPONS! Full respect & thankyou for your existence. Irwin Thomas, you are somethingn else man. Like up there with the greats. My skin peels completely off my bones everytime you unleash. Makes me fucking SICK! hahaha. \ ,, /

[@sargentppeper]

Irwin, Thanks for the info. what are u using for delay or verb? Are your single coil pickups suhr/landaus? Much appreciated!

[@jrcapy]

Very nice, in portuguese,,, MUITO FODA!!!

[@androclestipster]

Excellent. Thanks to danielpoole for the share.

[@KirkyDrums]

can i get this on dvd?

[@drudoooox]

great! pik up the bridge?

[@frontbum420]

What is amp setup here? looks very unorthodox,would he still use this live ?

[@beats0ffury]

Nice playing and great sound. Awesome accompaniment. Especially the drummer!! Is that John Salerno?? Really solid and precise drumming. Kit sounds great.

[@rodderzxr8]

What pedals/effects do you use Irwin, and are they the same as in the Electric Mary songs? Tone is killer!

[@CristobalSanhuezaMusic]

Hey!!! What amp model is Irwin using on this tune?!?!?! IS OOOSOMMMM XD

[@farid059]

Great playing as always Irsy. Chuck your Marshalls and your Vox guys. Ulbrick is the way to go. Shame Hendrix isn't around to play it.

[@TheJoebob13579]

I need the tabs !!!

[@jcintheplacetobe123]

Is that Jack Jones ???

[@JusticieroDeLaMuerte]

@TheTimijay Both :P

[@SSSeppelin]

hey can you (or anybody in the world)post a lesson for the immigrant song solo??? it will really help me and it will be the first LESSON of these great and strange solo

[@Danielpoole2006]

wow you are an inspiration for a guitarist like me, hopefully i can get as good as you when i'm older. when is your next gig in melbourne? i'd like to come see you, let me know!

[@irwinthomas]

Hey there mate. In this track I'm only using an old TS-808 (Tube Screamer). My pedalboard didn't work, so I had to just bypass it & plug in the little green meanie. laughs Props to Dave's Amps. If you want to know my Mary rig I'm happy to let you know.

[@mazzar35]

@bolomsa From epic Ulbrick amps.

[@zoedeq]

Steve Lukather performed I´m Buzzed to ,with all respect i prefer this version. A Lukather , Landau and Schon fan

[@Danielpoole2006]

this is incredile Irwin, shit! what type of scales are you using in this? it sounds very interesting. love the epic moments

[@dotsrj]

sounds a little like frank zappa. pretty cool.

[@TheTimijay]

No Jack Jones is Irwin Thomas :oD

[@CIMALT]

Roachford

[@coffeewaldo]

Omg stop picking on the guy. So what he's wearing jeans and a tshirt. You sound great Irwin and look great.

[@VaibhavMittalIndia]

Hands down! Amazing and closest performance to the original. So articulate and each nuisance has been played perfectly! I also believe that once you have a Suhr guitar in hands then magical things are bound to happen :)

[@konsulramirez]

Cool Sound, awsome cool playing, uncool chewing gum;-)

[@jonsilence]

I'M BUZZED is one of the all time greatest guitar instrumentals, and I've heard Landau himself play it live literally countless times. Irwin bro---you've done your homework and then some & totally absorbed Michael's identity. This alone is a formidable & commendable task for the aspiring student. Now that you have been able to essentially duplicate your hero, the important work before you is to find YOURSELF in the music and play THAT. We already have a Michael Landau, so just be yourself.

[@MrFesta87]

Dont curse hun...
