Heh. Got into this one just recently. Been listening to this one every chance I have. Jonny told me to buy this record months ago. I had, but I hadn't given it many listens. I now have!
Lotsa fun,
Fil
Sound and other notes: I am still using Guitar Rig 3 for this. The sound patch is the same exact one I used for AC/DC "Walk All Over You". I am liking this 3.1 Guitar Rig version even more. This sound patch I will make available.
The solo you see and hear is mine little improvisation (I apologize, Foo Fighters).

Sound is coming from Guitar Rig 3.1 (updated version). The sound patch is made by me, modifying the "HiWhite" patch that has a name similar to Pete Townshend.

Same ol' guitars. But shot "alone".
The "soundtrack" (rofl) you hear is me. You have - well some of you - have been wondering about the style I wrote my own songs. This is it. Was done in oh 10 minutes (GarageBand: a little cute Apple software, since I can't use ProTools yet on Mac Leopard) but this is my style, in case you wondered. Bluesy/rocky. I know, it's repetitive here. But I was just experimenting with it. It's three guitars, one fake loop of drums and bass. All played by me (not that this "song" could be considered difficult).
Please consider this just as a further attempt at quality video/audio.
While this uploads here on YouTube, I am uploading this same video, but in HD quality and stereo sound, onto vimeo.com
Great site for HD footage.
The solo playing guitar is the Yamano playing on GarageBand's own amp simulation. Not GR3 therefore, not a real amplifier in any case. Still, pretty decent work for a piece of software that comes "free" on some Apple Macs. Should I be able to load more interesting rhythm pattern loops, I will be definitely going my own way (finally) at putting down my own music. While I don't think the world is missing out on anything special without my own music, it could be (could) be interesting for some of you still willing to go for a classic rock way of playing guitar.
Thanks for watching!
PS
For those interested in the stereo version of the audio alone, please write me at solodallas@gmail.com and ask for the audio file. Will send it.
PS2
For personal reasons the *song* playing here has been renamed "Tim's Song". Timnlol's song, that is. It wasn't meant to be a song, but it is now. Cheers, Fil

Further attempt at video quality.
Thank you VERY much for the attention you gave to part one. My sole intention for now is to succeed at a better video quality, so to be able to "give you even more" in terms of quality of tutorials. This is a further attempt. The source is the same, shot with a Sony Xdcam PMW Ex1 at 720/25p, then converted with visual hub at 320, highest quality, "within 100 MBs", MP4 file format. I have noticed that some of you addressed me at HD youtube video. Thank you. Some youtube users indeed succeeded at uploading HD video. I haven't. Still looking to that.

Been a while! Here's random thing with a new camera.
This is part one. Uploading part two.
Note: Huh I thought it'd come out better. I shot this with a HD camera (High Definition) and the outcome here sucks balls. I might delete this clip and try again. No worries!

Solo Elements 2 of 2
Adding also that, PLEASE do NOT ask for tabs. I do not use tablatures. I used to use them years ago. Tabs are a very good thing if and when you need them. But I have studied the type of music well enough to not need tabs.
I do NOT write tabs. I by far favour to go by video. By video, you can watch - though most of the times not closely - and hear what I do, singled out form the record context and pretty much slowed down. There should be all you need to learn. By far more than I had available at the time.
If *I* made it to learn properly a song, *You* can make it, too.
NO tabs!
Thanks,
Solodallas

Here it is. Again, apology for having cut this one to start at some point. I am about concentrating on the solo, for a good reason called "Tutorial". Tim had said it would be good closer (reshot) and I like the song and the solo and I thought it would be another good test of Guitar Rig 3. Won't say anything else, to you the comments. And THANKS for watching.

PS
Big Thumbs up To Lynyrd Skynyrd for being one of the greatest bands of American Southern Rock of all times.
PS2: these close ups might be good to finally let you see how much effort (i.e. strength) put on my left hand (the hand that plays the notes). Almost at all times. That strength - controlled strength - is what lets you have in time the "tone" you want, in a way. And lets you get the nuances you are looking for. The way it approaches the note, presses on the fretboard, holds the neck, moves to get any form of vibrato. Suggestion: train the left hand (or the notes playing hand in general) to get stronger and stronger. But ALWAYS warming it up properly.
This one was played with this guitar (I am pasting the ad on http://www.marksguitarloft.com that drove me to buy this one):
" Gibson Custom Shop Tom Murphy Aged 1960 HRM Les Paul Figured Top Reissue (2006)
(Item#296)(as new condition) Lemonburst Tom Murphy aged Hard Rock Maple 1960 reissue, this is a Yamano guitar that went to Japan and was then shipped to the US, 8 lbs 12 ounces, one of the most realistic looking eastern maple tops I've had that's covered in figure, very comfortable '60 profile neck and a killer dark rosewood board that's almost black, this is one of THE BEST Historics I've played or heard!!! This a just a Killer guitar in all ways(and I don't use that term often) Very woody and old sounding tone, real touch sensitive, very fast tracking and articulate, fat and smooth vocal like mids that really make single note leads sing, the top end has something extra that keeps the guitar very clear(much closer to an older guitar), hang tags, blank warranty, Yamano booklet, certificate and brown reissue Lifton case."

Update as of June the 3rd, 2008
In recent days, there have been a flock of people who urged to let me know that this version of mine was not accurate. Or not played well. Hard to say which one was the original intent (and clicking on those people's accounts would show absolutely NO performance on their part, let alone a Skynyrd performance).
While I do not think I've ever claimed accuracy on this one, I gladly will state that no, this is not 100% accurate and IT WASN'T MEAN TO BE FROM THE START (I, in fact, played consciously other licks here and there during the performance).
While it wouldn't seem such a horrible thing to me (not to be 100% accurate, but STILL playing a decent performance), it seems others it is unacceptable.
If you are reading this, maybe because I sent you here, you now know which is my position on this.
This should probably keep you calm and relaxed knowing that - no - I wasn't trying to step into the original players' shoes and you can still sleep well at night.
Thank you,
SD
