    Re: Who says a Tele cannot rock?

    I would say that nobody says that.

    I listened on ceappy laptop speakers. Sounds great!!

    Why do you upload videos to a guitar forum if you reject any criticism you receive? Do you expect everyone to shower you in praise, regardless of how authentic it is? Has it ever occurred to you that the people who offer constructive criticism are the ones who actually care about your work, so much so that they take time to help you perfect it?

    Your intro needs work.

      Nailed it.

      The thing is, Nathan has so much passion for playing. He has more passion than a lot of people here. But passion alone isn't enough - you need both passion AND discipline. What's so frustrating is that people here care because they *know* how much passion Nathan has, and we all want to see him really excel and be the best musician he can be. But it just can't happen without the discipline to perfect his craft by accepting and learning from constructive criticism, and he needs to match his passion with the necessary discipline to really achieve something great.

        Of course it comes from a place of caring at least partially. The music world and industry is tough and if you fall short in certain areas (arguably any) you'll get eaten alive. Consider the forum as somewhat of a test audience.

          Ah, so we all need to go out and find a pair of Skull Candy headphones in the garbage, then it will sound superb.

              As has been said here, don't try to pass off a so-so recording by saying everyone else just doesn't have good enough equipment to hear it properly, it's the internet, at least half the people that listen to it have better equipment.

              I get your passion for music and applaud it! You do have a very good ear, what I would suggest now is getting some exercises to develop your dexterity so your fingers can keep up with it. The intro to the song was very sloppy which makes notes mush together. I'm not saying develop classical technique or anything, but clean playing and hitting notes crisp can fix a ton of "tone" problems. Even when Angus solos, the notes kind of explode and don't mush together, unless he wants them to of course.

              Just my take, good stuff though, you have better ears than I did at your age. So, hope this helps...

                Are my Akai Studio Headphones decent? Because that's what I listened to this on, along with my Akai Studio monitors.

                      Who says a Tele cannot rock?

                      Why? Why, oh, why do I even open these threads?

                      But as long as I'm here: NOBODY.

                        Cause he knows better when it comes to that stuff. He talks about how he gets his headphones from dumpster diving a such and then when we comment about how the sound quality is "Well you're just not listening to it on good enough headphones. You should use the Skullcandies that I pulled out of the trash last week."

                            I don't want to. I hate the f'ing chipmunks.

                              My covers also sound great on apple earbuds and 5.1 channel surround sounds.

                                Everyone's tone complaints from your GnR cover are still true here. Honestly, I don't see how this is, "What you are really capable of." The rhythm guitars are no more complicated than your Sweet Child cover. I think your leads here need work, especially your tapping.
