In all fairness- this was a thrown together event for a high school fundraiser at their local town square the VERY first time they had ever played together publicly. You’re absolutely correct that the man is a dad filling in who has been playing and singing for years. The normal lead singer is the lead guitar and he’s very talented as well taking after his father. And you’re right, the drummer is so solid that it’s truly unbelievable!!!! He will be famous one day. They are working hard to find the right permanent rhythm guitar as this guy was a one day fill in, and to build the confidence of the bass guitar, as she’s talented but timid. Thanks for all the constructive criticism- and for acknowledging these are talented high school kids merely 2 months into this with limitless potential. Appreciate you!! Keep up the awesome reviews!!

We had not rehearsed it since that one-off with that singer. It turned out kinda like this, I imagine. She crushed it, but as a band, we lacked a lot of the finer points of “I want you to want me.” It’s a seemingly easy song that is made great by the subtly. I don’t know if something like that was going on here, but I hope that band keeps going

I agree with almost everything you commented on, the singer really did hold up the song and make it actually listenable. And he tried with the adjustments on lead guitar. My only complaint is, stop bashing the Boss metal zone! When used correctly it can make excellent guitar sounds. Unfortunately so many people over utilize the EQ and the distortion to the point where it's become a running joke in the guitar world. But in my personal opinion, having used one for 25 years, if used sparingly and dialed in correctly, you can get some decent sound from the metal zone. I think the biggest problem with the Boss metal zone pedal is the fact that every knob goes from one extreme to the other. You really have to dial it in... Just my personal opinion, I love everything you do on this channel, I just hate when people totally bash the metal zone and talk about running it over with their car LOL because I still own one I purchased in 1999, and using a little bit of subtlety, you can get a decent tone out of it. Just remember those knobs go from one extreme to the other, so you really have to just dial it in for the exact sound you're looking for. But you do need to chain it in with other effects even if they're built into the amp head, to really dial in the tone you're looking for. But don't just throw your metal zone in the trash.. learn to use it in moderation I guess is my point here. If it adds or deletes from my credibility here, I also use a DigiTech in my chain LOL so take all of this with a grain of salt. Love your work, keep it up!
@zacm61736 ай бұрын
just saw the guitarist bought a Les Paul - that’s so perfect. i recognized the issue right away, the Tele is really thin (great for country and blues, not so much for hard rock) and so you end up with so much gain to try and compensate. i did the exact same thing in my high school ska band, complete with trying the metal zone. he’ll be unstoppable with a proper LP now! that thick tone will really round out the bands sound. that and the rhythm player needs to get his chops up lol

I think it's just novice, inexperienced players, on probably their first gig, with a song they weren't fully ready for yet. You don't learn if you don't throw yourself into the deep end every once in a while, so kudo's to them. Can't blame them for the stage antics. When out of their comfort zone, some tend to overact and some go invisible mode, like the bass player. Equally forgivable.

While the intro wasn't played exact note for note like Slash, he sounded really good especially without a delay pedal

The singer has been there before, many times. The dude can sing and knows what he’s doing. He’s probably just helping out the younger dudes. Practise makes better
