Hi all! So I've wanted to do this one for a very long time. To be honest, ever since my first Rocky video. Rocky IV is definitely the one I go to for a rewatch. Not really a complete transformation but there were things that I wanted to add (like a longer solo, heavier guitars etc). Just fun :) Thanks for everything, hope you dig \m/

One of the first songs I remember hearing in my entire life was a Paul Simon song. My parents always had music on and when "You Can Call Me Al" would come in the rotation, that'd be it for me. When I got a little older and began doing some of my own diving, The Sound of Silence came to be. Obviously one of best vocal harmony songs ever and lyrically genius. I wanted to do this in sort of the way how Ghost did "Enter Sandman" (hence the Ghost shirt ;) Also tried to mimic the '66 performance of this song in the video (which is my favorite). I'm really happy in how it came out especially only having the original vocals to try and build around. Hope ya dig

If you've been here for a little, you might remember that Twisted Metal is one of my favorite game series ever. Especially number 2. A huge piece of my childhood was dedicated to beating it with every character, and then over again without any deaths. BUT, a HUGE piece of 2 was the soundtrack. I know you're with me in concluding that every level has a great theme. I've already done the main theme and Los Angeles, and was going to just do them in order but I wanted to get out of my comfort zone a little bit by doing some honky tonk, bluegrassy, fast rockabilly. Hope it brings back some memories.
Hey all! A couple things. I love the Tom Cruise Mission: Impossible movies. It's number 2 all the way for me. John Woo, Metallica had the "I Disappear" single for it, Sean Bean, and besides a couple dialogue clips, it's basically one big action sequence. But I'm super exited about the new one. Mission: Impossible was actually one of the first songs I remember hearing. My parents liked the show from the 80s and when I was very young, that was my jam. Anyway, I tried to incorporate all sorts of chord moves to make it a little different without faring too far away from the classic. Hope ya dig

Hi all, So, the time has come to wrap up Harrison Ford's Indy run. I know there's mixed feelings on the movie coming out but Indiana Jones was one of my childhood heroes, so I'm cool with just seeing him in Indy gear one last time. Love a discussion on the flicks too. My favorite has always been The Last Crusade, by a hair. And I mean the tiniest hair. May be the King Arthur legends of hiding it, plus the rush that the nazis were looking for it, and the addition of Mr. Connery.
I did one of these a long time ago that included Marion's theme but I wanted to add some new themes to the medley and brush up on the main one again after all these years.
Here's to Dr. Jones!

So, I got lucky. I was fortunate enough to see The Flash in theaters two weeks ago at an advanced screening. It was incredible seeing Michael Keaton as Batman again. Batman (1989) was my first cinematic experience in theaters so seeing him again as the Dark Knight was nostalgia overload. There's also a TON of references in there. Michael Shannon coming back as Zod was another bonus. Anyway, I couldn't just do one hero's theme this time around because they're both a very big part of the movie. Go see it! It's super fun.
Could be just a guess but I'm guessing a good number of metalheads heard the main riff in this song when Metallica covered it on Garage Inc. I don't blame them, the riff is incredible. BUT how the song gets there is one totally one of the most epic intros in metal. At least to me. Anyway, I thought in the midst of doing big projects, do a little something like this so we can all chat about the other legendary intros that happen in metal......And get to them at some ;)
Best to ya
ETHAT part from @SteveVaiHimself ‘s “Whispering A Prayer” #guitarsolo #stevevai #instrumental331Erock2023-05-24 | ...Cha Cha Cha by Käärijä Meets Metal331Erock2023-05-19 | #chachacha #eurovision #metal Being in the States, you only ever hear of the Eurovision Song Contest. All I knew from years past is that the competition is quite the spectacle to watch and both Abba and Lordi won when they entered it, haha. This year however, I got to check it out live thanks to streaming television and I loved it! I was definitely rooting for Finland. I found myself humming the song "Cha Cha Cha" for days. That of course, is like the bat signal (to myself) calling me to make a cover. From what I've gathered, Käärijä brought an overload of joy and cheerfulness backstage during the competition. If you've followed me for long enough, you know I'm all about that. As for the song, I didn't want to stray too far from the original, so those who haven't heard it can still get an idea of what a jam it is (while still adding my own personality to it). Hope ya dig!

Hi all! If you know me, you know that my Star Wars stance has always been rooting for the Sith to crush the Alliance haha. This is one of the "changes" that I personally didn't mind. Now, I'm totally a Yub Nub guy, but it's still John Williams and still fits imo. And also, I've done so much Star Wars it's hard to pick out a song without redoing one I've already done.
Hi all! So I had a ton of fun with this one! Jack Black is....well, Jack Black. The man! For people my age or close, Super Mario Bros has been a part of their lives for a long time. I remember the Super Mario Bros Super Show like it was yesterday. The games, the first movie, the cartoon, The Wizard (where they actually dropped a new game in a movie before announcing it, which was awesome) it's just always been there. This one is one of my favorite transformations I've done in a while. The vocals just added the extra fun factor. Hope you dig!
Hi all! In honor of Evil Dead Rise coming out, I had the itch to salute the classics. The scenes you see in the background are exactly where those musical spots hit so you can get somewhat of a watch-along. And yes, for those who are unfamiliar, Death has a song called Evil Dead so I figured why not mash them together. Hope you dig and let's go see the movie!
So, one of those solos that in order to play it like Prince, you have to be Prince haha but man oh man i love this song so much...plus the chords are so beautiful that I wanted to do it even just as a salute. I do have an awesome story that involved Prince that blew my mind about him even more than it was. Back in the mid 2000s, I got to record an album in the studio with Mark Brown (who was Prince's bassist in the Revolution and of course the movie Purple Rain). He had many of Prince's strategies and tricks that he taught me in the studio and of course I asked every question on the planet I could about Prince, including the Dave Chapelle basketball story, which I'm sure all of you know by now, is 100% true. An amazing musician and personality. Hope ya dig.
So I had the awesome opportunity to check out JST's new plug-in Disruptor. Sometimes I feel like Indiana Jones in search of guitar tones haha. I think the music community has come a long way as far as digital instruments go, and this one is superb. I have Joey Sturgis' Guilty Pleasure, which I love, and Disruptor is glorious. Co-created by Dino from Fear Factory (who I believe were way ahead of their time) I figured the best way to show you guys what it sounds like was by playing some groovy Fear Factory. I go through a couple tones that pleased my ear but that's not even the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Disruptor. First off, the interface is badass. Looks brutal. 3 amps Martyr (clean) Replica (Dino's modded Marshall JCM 800) and Protomech (high gain song-based tones). Also: DI match, Gate, Tuner, 8 pedal slots, EQ, IR loader, Compressor, Limiter, Resonance mode, dual cab room with 3 cabs, literally everything you could want in a plug-in. All the tones I used in the video were raw, straight from Disruptor. There's also a great string optimization mode for 7 string and lower for all you djentlemen and djentleladies. Special thanks to Su and Joey Sturgis for allowing me to jam on this. It rocks!
Hi all, So when this movie first dropped, I watched it not knowing what to expect. Afterwards, I decided I just saw the greatest movie in existence haha. I honestly loved this movie and was so happy to see it get recognition at the golden globes and the oscars as an international flick. So many great tunes in it as well but this one is my jam. Hope you dig and watch it if you haven't! It's worth it.

So I realized that I'm dropping the word underrated a whole lot lately in conversations. Which I guess is a good thing because that means we're talking about some bands/musicians that don't get mentioned enough. So why not do videos on them? :) Yes, Whitesnake's 1987 is perfection in songwriting imo. Coverdale is easily one of the best voices of our lifetime imo. But the solos, on that album especially, are magical. John Sykes is a monster. Here's my personal favorite.
Short but sweet haha! I experimented with tons a variations on this. Obviously, this can be played a lot faster but when i was messing around with the tempos I liked the groove on the this one and especially the fact that you can hear the articulation and clarity with every note throughout the song (which to me, i prefer). Anyway, hope ya dig. On Patreon, right this second I have the Guitar Pro files, PDF, and backing track posted if you'd like to learn it :)
You rock the casbah

American football themes are pretty brutal when you give them a good listen. One of the reasons is because they're written by incredible composers. This being the one and only John Williams. Imagine Darth Vader playing for Raiders :) They used the theme for NBC's Sunday Night Football but the piece is titled "Wide Receiver" if you wanted to get an easier search.
Well, well, well. After all these years of the requests, here it is. Hope you enjoy because I had a lot of fun doing this one.
Best to ya

It was a toss up to write the drums to it but if you know the song, it's easier to decipher what written classical parts I arranged accent the original recorded parts on the record. Anway, hope you enjoy. More metal next week \m/
