Ted Nugent Stranglehold Guitar Cover

Stranglehold by Ted Nugent Cover. Not perfect but fun for a first take and my friend getting his voice in there. Don't ask why I fucked up the end. Cause I don't know, I got ahead of myself :) Shit happens! The Guitar is a 1975 Ibanez 2345 custom model Set Neck. All original. This guitar video cover is intended for educational purposes only.

[@matt9143]

Troy Woods well deserved 1 this is insane and 2 theres not alot of stranglehold covers out there

[@dbmjrisin]

Hats off.

[@billford4042]

Hell man post another.

[@IscariottActual]

Here's one for you, I was playing this video in the background and a friend of mine asked "Is that a live version of stranglehold". You pass the "is that stranglehold" test.

[@dagnastyodi4196]

Not perfect? This shit was perfection at its finest!

[@MrVaroom68]

thanx!!

[@ulisseslopez3738]

What a TONE that is, man! Shrieks through one's body! Amazing, perfection

[@JosephWheeler14]

That drum fill as the bass joins in is one of the rockinest moments in all of rock.

Uncle Ted would be proud! Damn fine job.

[@JCW7766]

The Motor City Madman. Damn this brings back some memories. Uncle Ted use to come to town every year when I was a kid, and having a cousin 6 years older didn't hurt either. I got to go to concerts that otherwise I wouldn't have gotten to see. I've seen Ted in concert more than anyone else. First concert was Aerosmith (Toys in The Attic) with Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush opening. I'll never forget it. But Ted was the ultimate rocker. One of his concerts it started snowing and he said well I guess we'll have to stay in and rock all night. And we just about did. Friggin city employees got the parking lots cleared enough to get everyone out and they made us leave.

Top 3 things I’m jealous of: 1) That SICK double neck 2) How precise your reverse bends & double stop bends are 3) It looks like you’re not even trying. Totally relaxed I can only imagine how much better you’ve gotten over the last 8 years, rock on bro 🤘🏼

[@jasonlinton9902]

Best cover of stranglehold ive ever heard uncle ted would be proud!!

[@MrVaroom68]

Thanx!!

[@stephaniekervaski7200]

That was great! I don't think I have ever heard someone play a song ' that's not there own' to a T like that. Not one cord missed. Truly Amazing.

[@jimmiller1780]

Perfection. Best cover of an Uncle Ted song on the internet - by FAR!

[@ericwesterman1474]

that was beautiful. awesome sound sir

[@williamcarroll4490]

One of the best composed guitar songs ever! Great cover. That would take me a year or so to memorize.

[@ScottAdkind]

[@MrVaroom68]

Thank you!!

[@joselynmhill3324]

That was awesome man....really felt it in your playing that you captured the spirit of the song!

[@kovuqui]

AMAZING! Got me motivated to challenge myself and learn this! you earned a sub!

[@MrVaroom68]

Thank you.

[@kovuqui]

@@MrVaroom68 on 0:23 when it goes from 0 0 to 000 on the alternate picking, did you just learn that from going slow to fast on a metronome? any tips? thanks! (:

[@MrVaroom68]

@kovuqui it's just a feel thing. Just yrs of playing it. I would recommend going slow and build it up with a metronome.

[@fyrefox5658]

Man, I didn't know Kevin Nash played guitar. lol jk. good cover brother!

[@MrVaroom68]

Who's kevin Nash?

[@CSayyah]

this was the very first song I learned on the guitar. It took me years to master it, and I can honestly say that this was one of the best covers I have heard in 15 years of guitar playing. Props to you man!

[@davekiddie4467]

Years 😂😂😂

[@MrStevegerold]

Love it..Great guitar playing my man

[@TheSpider0895]

That was mind-blowingly spot on! I heard it on the radio earlier and remembered seeing him live in Raleigh NC back in 2000, all I could think was "I need to learn more Ted". "Cat Scratch Fever" was a decent starter for me, "Stranglehold" looks like a great target for me. Although, I may switch back and forth between lead and rhythm riffs, I've never seen a pinky move so fast so much 😆 Truly great and inspiring!

[@stevedoingstuff3960]

@@MrVaroom68 Thanks man! Yeah I subbed for sure. I appreciate that offer -- you've been helping me a ton already with this video. It's a lot easier to piece together with listening and reading tabs while watching what positions you are using. It's kind of opened my eyes a bit to how practicing with a drone can help a lot with melody. Having that A string droning away really brings out the sounds of those notes a lot more than just with a metronome. I've heard other people mention practicing with a droning note, I think i might start doing that more often.
