Here we go, found another version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OQkS89a9IE&t=7m15s
I agree with you, this is definitely one of the best versions he plays.

This is a link to the "Tag Mix" @ 7m15s, which is a tag of Van Halen's "Ain't Talkin' Bout Love" ...
did you mean to link a different video?

FrankieG wrote:

But this whole mix is just amazing. I wish they mixed the video together too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OQkS89a9IE It just keeps going and going and going

Yeah, the YL mix is good.

You're good. Holy crap I have been looking for some kind of help to place this.

... no. i'm really just moderately mediocre.
I promise.

But i DO like to help others.
Guitar is fun. I like it. & its fun to help others get excited.

Do you have a better version of the part on a different video? I know they are out there, but I couldn't find one and stumbled on this one.

The Charlotte 2000 show is really the only show i was previously aware of where he did the version of the ending we are talking about. In trying to re-find that version, i did stumble upon this version, which is essentially the same (although Charlotte has much more radical delay employed) ...
Nuremburg '00 Yellow Ledbetter ... i think if you watch that video, you will be able to see just how easy the fingering really is ...
the camera zooms in on Mike's left hand as he is playing, and you can clearly see him forming the bar chord formation and throwing in the hammer-on's with his pinky. It is a slight variation on the tab i posted above, but more or less the same.

I think you can get it.
Just work on timing, don't be too particular about hitting the exact note sequence, and you should be able to get it. Just make sure you are fretting the E, B, and A chord formations at the right time, and try to pick at NEARLY the right strings at the right time. If you hit one string above and 1 string below you should be fine, becuase, hey, you are fretting the same chord Mike is playing, it can't go wrong. E, B, A.
Just play.


PS.
I only half think this is worth mentioning, but i don't want you to get thrown off.
In the Nuremburg video linked above, Mike is clearly fretting the "first" part of the riff i tabbed before at E9 and not E12 ... so i'll show you this, 'less you get confused.

THIS is the start to that portion that i had PREVIOUSLY posted:

anyhow.
they are both E chords.
He just apparently started the phrasing on E9 and not E at 12.
just FYI so you don't try and figure out why it just looked different than the tab i had.
everything else he plays is really the same, except he may have phrased it slightly different. But definately the same chord shapes in the same positions.

And I really appreciate it! This has really helped me playing.

I find this to be equal parts inspiring AND obnoxious.
Half makes me want to try harder, half makes me want to quit:

Guy Fucking Nailing "Top Of The World" By Van Hagar

Vintage Live Van Hagar for Comparison

I thought i was doing a DECENT job learning to play it,

Yeah his chord fretting isn't the greatest but he fucking nails finger tapping the solo, and I hate him for it.

Sort of. :P

Inspirational nugget i found today:
Volume Swells Into A Minute of Creamy Lead (7:41 till 8:31) - GnR - Estranged, 1992

PS - I challenge you to watch this video and not have some gut level reaction that at least a "small" part of Axl's apparent homophobia is, in fact, psychological "projection". For fucksake he spends 9 minutes skip-dancing and runway walking (down stairs, even!) and all-but-"vogue"-ing through a power ballad wearing a cross-dresser's football dance costume only to cover up with a "subdued" FUSCHIA David Byrne jacket during the *keyboard solo* :!: ...

:oops: :oops: ... this man is straight? :corn: :?:

also, who the FUCK would want to watch that shit with out ***SLASH*** & duff back there at least. Shit.

Tommy Tutone - Jenny 2m16-3m28 - Over a minute of fun, moderately-screamin 80's lead \ interlute \ lead.

Amazing how much sound you can pack in to one minute (amd ten seconds)...

and
just a really bad ass version of Blind Melon's Change from some old (foreign?) MTV broadcast?

awesome version.
rip.

I got hit by Sandy the hurricane 2 weeks ago, and picked up my guitar since I was bored.

I have been playing it every night since then! When I pull up a spot on the couch to watch tv, I just grab the guitar and play different shit during boring parts/commercials. I'm so pumped to be playing for fun and not playing because I want to have fun.

Harpsy

A house move and forced 3 week wait for broadband made me pick mine up again. That was about 4 months ago and I can't stop now!
Only trouble is, I bought a new acoustic as I never had one, but now I'm eyeing up some tasty Epiphone Les Pauls, and a very nice Strat.
Damn these expensive hobbies!
