Rehearsing Colony (Warts and all) 2017

[@rust_in_peace5123]

You're human after all 😂 Wes' playing is so surgical and clean. Writes some extremely interesting stuff with very original style

[@Diego-so3dx]

Amazing. It would be really cool if you talked about the story of how some of your songs and licks came about

[@BoKstaR]

Brutal! My favorite thing about this is the imperfection. We get stuck with so many videos of great guitar players on their "best" take. I welcome rarities such as this. Inspiring! 😎❤‍🔥

[@TheNameless0nee]

Dude, Youre total beast. Your vibrato is so unique and flawless.

[@jasoncrump1886]

His writing is so interesting without getting boring sounding . My guy is a beast .

[@23darknexx]

This is got to be my favorite alluvial lead riff. Very aggressive and all encompassing!

[@jrose92081]

I met Keith and yourself in Columbus during that tour. Phenomenal playing as always.

[@travisbarrett1255]

Man I would love to just talk to you about your writing process hahaha. Thanks for the hand shake and the hug at the cornerstone. you're a super nice dude!

[@Sunedosa]

Kickass as usual Wes, diggin that Thin Lizzy shirt. Saw them live i Stockholm 3 times before Phil died, twice with Gorham/white and once with Gorham/Sykes. Getting old sucks but going to concerts before KZbin spoiled some of the experience was the jam.

[@Rouwiinator]

Those sweeps with alternate picking in between are stupidly clean. Also I think at times its clear to see how important pick slanting has become for his playing.

[@LifeHawkeye]

Wes scored about a 95% accuracy on his own song right here. For comparison, I won’t even attempt the song which means I score an accuracy rating of approximately 0%. Final standings: 1st place goes to Wes Hauch coming in at 95% and scoring a solid A. 2nd place, me, at 0% and scoring a solid ‘I don’t think I want to ever try playing my guitar ever again’ and hide under my bed covers while sobbing.

[@meatdome666]

love this jam! I've been going to town on the opening progression for almost a week. at bout 80% tempo... did I mention I love this jam!?

[@DomicidalCovers]

Absolutely love watching you play this one man, since I know how to play it(barely half speed), It makes me appreciate it that much more.

[@keggitalentscout7218]

This is just so amazing. I have no words to describe it.

[@bsatyam]

Absolute beast of a player with such intelligent riff writing!

[@orgahorie6429]

Even if there are some mistakes, I have no words except AMAZING!!!

[@bryanalilvguitars]

Dude your picking hand is so tight!

[@Allyinchains]

Damn, my dude is looking in shape!! Wes Ifor you read this your are the G.O.A.T!!!!!

[@KrzychoStal]

"warts and all" some of us wish our best days were this bad. Killed it, my dude!

[@ericsmith6633]

Dude the rgd2127fx is such a beast of a guitar, I have one, and I put dimarzio blaze pups in it, cause I wanted that old school sound to it, and man! They sound SO good in that guitar!!! I mean that guitar just has something special. I’ll never sell mine, and the way yours sounds I imagine you feel the same! Love your tone bro

[@musicman0423]

I wish Ibanez would name their dam guitars lol. I’ve got the RGD61ALMS axion label. It’s friggin badass. The fishmen fluent pickups are the best pickups I’ve ever played through. Try them out!

[@ericsmith6633]

@@musicman0423 ya I have a esp EII horizon baritone 7 with the fishman moderns and ya, they are great. I like the passive voice better myself

[@ratsalad1]

Hot damn, super clean playing man

[@EpochofJoe]

We have proof that Wes is human, which means there is hope for all of us mere mortals. 🤘 Love it!

[@deeforty]

Wes has to be one of the best, surely.

[@metalbalder]

amazing bro.. just amazing

[@michaelfrancis1]

Absolutely brutal! Love it! 🤘😎🤘

[@martinritchie5491]

Hey Wes, thanks for the update and great playing. Any chance you could make some Pantera playthroughs, its hard to find players capture dime's esoteric style and I learn a lot from your videos.

[@aynse_]

One look at those hands, and you know they can grill

[@TylerGibsonMusic]

What wart? All I see is phenomenal playing!!!

[@Epochstudios]

Got further on the leads then me hahaha, rhythm on this song is killa bro

[@metalsandwiched]

Lookin pretty buff there papa bear

[@Bad.At.Guitar]

How do you even start going about learning a song this technically complicated? Do you read sheet music for it? I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but I've always wanted to know. Surely this would take forever to learn by ear, but maybe not. Great job by the way :)

[@clemensmoeller4549]

If you're asking about this song specifically, he wrote it.

[@Bad.At.Guitar]

@@clemensmoeller4549 Well that makes sense. I thought he was practicing someone else's song. Still wild

[@lordPix3lUK]

It's hard af

[@MetalMikeLIVE]
