Lynyrd Skynyrd: "Free Bird" (Close up Solo)
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 3.0, using a Plex Patch modified by me (added a boost and played with amplifier controls)
Won't say anything else, to you the comments. And THANKS for watching.
Fil
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."
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
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

SoloDallas Video Poll: want an instructional DVD from me?
UPDATE: Listen, you all. I'm overwhelmed by your "reaction" to this. I would have never imagined such a moving and rewarding enthusiasm. So listen: the project is a GO in the sense that, I am now decided 100% to bring it forward taking all the necessary legal and organizational aspects needed to make this a working project. Location and gear are ok. I will need to investigate about copyrights but I am now in the process of doing this, too.
A big, rounded and most felt "Thank you" to all of you for your touching words.
Fil :-)
Hello guys. This time it's me asking you something!
This thing has been on my mind for a long time, some of you know about it already.
I am thinking of this project: to self produce professionally made, instructional DVD on how to play AC/DC's songs. Rock and roll basic concepts. Recording techniques. In depth on the instruments and amplifiers. High definition video close ups on the parts as I play them. And maybe more.
The question is: would YOU buy such a DVD at a reasonable (completely unknown at the moment) price?
Thanks indeed, SD
NOTE: Since I respect AC/DC wholly, this thing would be legal. That is, copyright rights would be payed to AC/DC for reproducing their hard work. My intention is to further investigate if this is possible. If any of you reading/seeing this is expert on such copyrights issues please get in touch with me at solodallas@gmail.com. Your involvement would be professionally rewarded.

ACDC - Rock 'N' Roll Train (This is NOT SoloDallas!)
[EDIT] Let me explain the title. I was afraid the judges, seeing my name, would assume Fil posted two videos and overlook this video. That's why I am now clarifying that I'm NOT SoloDallas (Fil), but "the sequel" as Tim calls me. I will also post this video from a new account just to ensure there is still no confusion over the names. I'll post a link here once I upload it. Thank you everyone!
Here's my entry for the "Give it All You Got" contest. This video was the best out of 15 takes. I spent way too much time tuning that damn guitar! It could barely handle one song without going out of tune (probably due to the new tuners that weren't made for an Epiphone), so please excuse that.
Sorry the chorus sounds like a mess, but the mic on this camera can't handle very much noise. :P
And to the AC/DC website judges; Please choose me!!! I would give anything for either one of those guitars! [EDIT] I'd just like to mention that I am American, and I am eligible (because I know many ineligible people are posting videos with the ACDCGiveItAllYouGot tag).
And To the band: I love both the new singles; R'N'R train and War Machine! And Phil sounds better than ever on this one. He was actually the first thing I noticed when I heard the new singles, as well as No Bull: The Director's Cut. Phil deserves way more appreciation.
Ok, I'm done ranting...

AC/DC Gone Shootin' The Right Way (Thanks SoloDallas)
This is a song called Gone Shootin' off of AC/DC's 1978 album, Powerage.
Sorry for the Lighting, not a very nice camera, and for that reason too, sorry for the audio quality.
Also I had to tune my guitar down about a 1/4 to an 1/8 of a step, because the recording was somewhat flat.
I'm playing this on my beginner guitar and approximately $100 Peavey Raptor with a killer paintjob, so go easy on the tonality aspect, intonation is a slight bit off, and the pickups are shitty.
Anyways enjoy.
