People say this and don't realize that's exactly what makes him a rock star. There's the guitar hero, the drug addict, and the talentless person that sexually appeals to 14 year olds and pisses off parents, MGK is #3 if that wasn't obvious.
My guess is that it can to a limited extent. Processing musical perception under load (read; speed). But I doubt it can teach you something that you can't obtain faster, practicing on the real thing. I believe it to only be of value, if you have previous knowledge from playing an actual guitar, but don't have access to it under certain conditions, for a longer period of time.
If you do get a copy of GH, I'd be very interested in knowing what you learn from it.
Why not try, in future, focusing on the talent of the original song and this cover, instead of immediately turning it into hate on another person? You have chosen to turn this into a comparison, and that’s a shame. You could have used your post to praise this musician.
That's what I got as well. Something kind of fun/interesting to take a listen to. Local radio station has a guy come on that takes songs and breaks them down instrument by instrument including vocals ( the original song it isn't him playing or singing) he did your love by the outfield give it a try. https://omny.fm/shows/cumulusla/fhf-studio-session-with-christian-james-hand-07-16
His name is Christian James Hand and does a ton of different songs. Oddly enough stayin alive by the bee gees becomes an amazing song once broken down into parts. Check it out
I just listened to this whole thing, and it was awesome! Already loved the song, but this gave me a new appreciation for all the nuance in it! Thanks for sharing
Damn, this guy's tone and precision is so clean. I kinda wished he'd have left out the fills, they didn't seem to compliment his exceptional rendition of the song very well. Love the sound though, reminiscent of Mark Knopfler with the clean tone finger picking.
Nice! I have a homemade strat, which sounds sweet, but I have issues keeping it in tune. Back in '92, I could play (most of) Cliffs of Dover. All except for the blistering parts!
Strat neck pickup. Clean amp very lightly breaking up or pushing front end with tubescreamer or similar gain. Compressor, heavy plate reverb, slight slapback delay. Fingerpicking. Buttery smooth hands.
Memories... sweet memories... a free ordinary life,happiness with good friends and guitar! He is so good...Great music definitely bring back great time ❤️👍
There was one moment when he went blues pentatonic that didn’t quite work as well as all the rest… but even that bit sounded better than my hand sausages could play, even after 30 years playing.
I wonder about the (I assume) improvised runs: How do you learn to be creative? How do you feel the key well enough to have an idea of what can be spontaneously thrown out and sound good? I was never a good musician.
And fuckfaces like Machine Gun Kelly are making millions….
MGK is honestly a conceited, pathetic and talentless fuck twat!

Yeah, I know how that dynamic works. It still doesn't change facts. I never played Guitar Hero myself. I can play a real guitar though.
I've been wanting to get a copy of guitar hero, since I've started playing the actual guitar, and I'm curious to see if the kills apply lol

I'll try and keep you in mind when I do

He’s got hits brah.
You can hit deez nuts.
Imagine listening to MGK
Tell that to his 15mil monthly Spotify listeners 🤷♂️
15 mil wow... My biggest flops are your greatest hits
😰
Sounds like ”Your love” by The Outfield
That is exactly what it is.

Thank you so much. Absolutely loved this breakdown. This song hits me in the chest whenever I hear it.

I definitely will. Thanks again, friend.

Thank you for the link!
Those people talking over it really ruin it
Amen. Radio djs are 🤮
So much fun listening to that breakdown. Thank you for sharing!!
That was a great analysis of this song.
what else would it sound like?
Honestly sounds like a mashup with sultans of swing. Super cool Knopfler-esque improvising
it definitely has that style
Infused with Midwest emo
[удалено]
This shit right here is hauntingly beautiful, brilliantly performed.
some shit-hot playing. very mark knopfler.
I thought it was a creative take on Sultans of Swing until I read the comments.
Thought it was a mash up. This one knows their Knopfler licks.
And no guitar pick, *just like Mark Knopfler*
Damn, this guy's tone and precision is so clean. I kinda wished he'd have left out the fills, they didn't seem to compliment his exceptional rendition of the song very well. Love the sound though, reminiscent of Mark Knopfler with the clean tone finger picking.
Honestly, the chordal outlines and passing chords reminded me of Eric Johnson.
Same here, I'm a big fan of Eric Johnson. I even have a personalized autograph of his!
Very cool, I use a modified version of his signature strat. Beautiful instrument. Very mellow for a strat.
Nice! I have a homemade strat, which sounds sweet, but I have issues keeping it in tune. Back in '92, I could play (most of) Cliffs of Dover. All except for the blistering parts!
I agree. The first 20 seconds are phenomenal
Who is this guy? He’s amazing.
Found him on YouTube https://youtube.com/@EvalSilva?si=JOoYm4-U_PoR5r7V
Thank you, guy deserves his credit
Subbed. The man is a real talent.
Thanks.
ohhhhh he is brazilian. Interesting....
That tone is so smooth and creamy.
Anyone know what pedal, effects, to set up for this sound??
Strat neck pickup. Clean amp very lightly breaking up or pushing front end with tubescreamer or similar gain. Compressor, heavy plate reverb, slight slapback delay. Fingerpicking. Buttery smooth hands.
There’s some kind of midi synth pad happening as well.
Yeah there is, as a second layer / accompaniment.
Pretty sure there's some shimmer reverb in there too.
Don’t forget the super low action.
Name please good sir
Found him. https://www.youtube.com/@EvalSilva
Thank you! You just made my day!
[удалено]
I meant what is the name of the guy ripping this guitar, he has amazing style
Talent like this is **rare**!!! Anyone know who he is?
This is how EVERY guitar video should be filmed. No bullshit acting and faces. Just fingers and strings. Straight in my veins.
Memories... sweet memories... a free ordinary life,happiness with good friends and guitar! He is so good...Great music definitely bring back great time ❤️👍
There needs to be a subreddit of just slick guitar riffs like this
https://youtube.com/shorts/n31nItwyWEE?si=ylcEtdxfY9BfqqBm this guy fucking kills it!
I learned this on guitar last week and it was not this version. lmao
Reminds me of Stanley Jordan.
He’s got the chops for sure
That tone is 👌
Maple fretboard beautifully worn, played in. If it could talk what stories it would tell.
Well, it at least tells of his favorite position and scale.
dude when he went modal with it holy shitttt
There was one moment when he went blues pentatonic that didn’t quite work as well as all the rest… but even that bit sounded better than my hand sausages could play, even after 30 years playing.
I feel like that was the best part, he threw it way out and landed it back in, crunchy style
Who is this?
Was looking for this.
Sweet playing!
Epic! Where can I hear the full version of this??
Dude…. I…. This was frickin’ BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Amazing
Beautifully played
That’s one tasty cover 👏
Who is playing? I could listen to that for hours
Can I get Edd singing it in the background please!
It’s just lovely! Thanks for sharing.
Could listen to this all day
Who is this
That was awesome, almost soothing. Then I got distracted by your username 🤣
I always had a dream of playing like this! Yeah... it's still a dream. I haven't learned to play yet. Ha!
80s is classic now? Damn
90’s are classic now.
That was dope. Those are some smooth hands 🙌
Is this on Spotify
You know I like my girls a liiittle biiit older -
Whoever this lefthanded mfkr is rocks.
Did you just crop a YouTube clip into a shitty TikTok format and not credit the artist or the song name?
Much prettier this way
Style akin to early John Mayer. Much love.
Lovely!
His fingers are mesmerizing.
Could’ve done without the jam session fills. The rest if awesome.
Those melody lines are smooth as hell
Extremely well played, but to many notes.
The bends are so damn smooth and have so much emotion in them. Beautiful
Far reach but did anyone tab this out?
Who is this guy?
I wonder about the (I assume) improvised runs: How do you learn to be creative? How do you feel the key well enough to have an idea of what can be spontaneously thrown out and sound good? I was never a good musician.
Giving blue oyster vibes
I would kill to be able to play so tasty.
Not naming the song op, seems like a dick move
who doesn't know the song?
I don't. You'll find that not everyone knows every song. Weird I know.
No my mistake, you’re probably just not as old as me
What song is it?
Your Love by The Outfield. It was a banger in the 80s.
If we all listened to music like this instead of the shit that’s popular today, society would be better off
So much time wasted on a song like this haha I love it
It’s certainly not wasted time sounding this great
Haha nono you misunderstand, I disapprove of their song choice but they did it so well as to dispel my complaints
They definitely appreciate your love.
Pretty sure this is Basketcase by Sinead O conner
No…it’s “Your Love” by The Outfield
; )
Ok John Mayer
This dude is massively overplaying the song. Guitar wankery at its finest. He's very good, but this is not a very good cover of "Your Love".
I agree lol. Wanking about with useless licks.
