Cowboys from Hell Solo!!!

I recorded this tonight because I went out to see some friend of a friend who plays guitar. I was going to use it to show what I can do to hopefully get a band started but he didn't show. My family doesn't really know how I play on the electric so this is for them also to see what I can do. It's not entirely there yet but its getting closer.

Me playing Cowboys from Hell solo.

Pantera playing so you can compare.

I also need to add that 'Dimebag' Darrel was murdered on stage in 2004 and the rock world lost one of the greatest, most innovative guitarists the world has ever known. It's truly a tragedy and when I attempt to cover his songs I am mindful of the impact he has made on myself and other aspiring guitarists around the world.

awesome job! are you bringing the guitar to the cabin? I will have to bring glow sticks for the boys. They will dance around in the dark while you jam. It will be "The Cabin RAVE 2009"--no ectasy.

Raves are techno music... I am rock. Ravers do X, acid, and shrooms. Rockers drink, smoke weed, or do lines of yay. It is very ok that you don't know the difference though.

wow, that was really good. I've never heard of that song or band, but you looked awesome playing that electric guitar. Really awesome. Good job joe. It's great that you have such a great talent that you've worked so hard to develop.

oh and thanks for the drug lesson. Very, um, educational. Hope you are not speaking from personal experience...

Joseph Gollaher said...

No... no personal experience with that stuff. I just know. The army is very diverse and you pick things up. Think of it like jail and I am the innocent inmate.

Yes. It was great, but how do you look in leather pants? And next clip I want to see you do a 360 spin on the floor while playing it. Then I will really be impressed. I'm glad to see someone else in the family have guitar talent - mine Guitar Hero - yours the guitar. They are like the same though. Maybe we could jam some time.

Good job Joe. You really are getting good. What are you going to play and sing for us at the cabin. Stairway to Heaven???? I like that one. You could totally sing a long too. And I'll send you the music to practice so you can play for the kids. Love ya!
