Guitar Cover - Self Esteem

Another guitar cover of this amazing punk rock band (w/ backing track)

The song was originally recorded in 1994, album Smash. :D :D

What a shitty fucking song that is -- from an even shittier genre of music. You played it adequately, but so could a five year old.

To think some schmendricks out there made millions performing that shite, is a form of theft.

People who also sign up to a forum and then only post their own shitty music are also pretty annoying, especially that low calibre drivel. You welcomed criticism, so I gave you some of my honesty.

Yeah, I agree. So... great, you can play a bit of guitar. Woo hoo. It's supposed to be a forum, not a commercial break. People should take part, not just expect to showered with praise.

I don't hate the song, or your cover of it, or any of the covers on your channel, even though it's stuff almost any beginner to intermediate player can probably handle. . I might have had the slightest hint of interest if you'd posted something original. But I wager this is just an exercise in cut & paste through dozens of forums.

There used to be a bloke called Jay who used to only post here a few years ago to spam his gigs. I thought he was a douche, but once he actually contributed to the forum, he wasn't too bad. Nobody likes shameless self promo.

OP has to be trolling though, right? With the Australian flag and all?

I just think it's nice that they allow him a guitar, camera and Aussie flag in a prison cell. Can't be Christmas Island.

No disrespect to the OP, but I haven't watched the clip for one reason.... the song. It is a steaming turd of a song. It reminds me of all the worst, most cringe-inducing moments I've spent at Rockquest regionals where the performers and their song are just so bad that I feel embarrassed.

I'm glad you guys answered the post. I'm the kind of person who does not believe music is interesting only when is difficult to play, however I enjoy playing more difficult stuff either. I respect your opinion if you believe The Offspring is not worth playing or listening.

Regarding the flag and walls, I'm not in a prison, it is just my place :P !

I have just uploaded a Van Halen song (which is extremely hard for my limited skills) and invite you all to check it out in my channel, I know there are some minor timing mistakes, but overall I think it is decent enough, I appreciate any feedback !}

I admire your guts when you tell me what you think! :clap:

I like other Offspring songs more. Some of them. Definitely not all. Actually, they really went to pot (in a bad way) from Americana onwards.

If I had checked your other videos, I wouldn't have been harsh in my above post.

I thought your VH cover was good, as well as your Black Magic cover, which I enjoy playing myself.

So basically, it's more of the same. "ME! ME! LISTEN TO ME!!!"

Honestly, I can't be arsed with this selfish, self-centered bullshit.
