Hello, friends!
I'm John Grimaldi and welcome to my channel!
I started this channel to document my musical journey and stamp down my progress in the never ending flow of songs I would love to learn, have learned, or am in the process of learning to play on the guitar.
Another reason is to connect with, and learn from, other folks who have the same electric excitement for guitar wizardry and music in general. This channel will be featuring electric guitar covers of the punk rock and rock 'n roll songs that were most influential on me. The videos are made for sharing things that light me up and also for renewing love for a song, music, and learning the riffs that raised me. There are LOTS of songs lined up and my goal is to upload one video a week on Friday afternoons.
Cheers!
John

I learned this song bc of you. Thank you!
Nice!!! It's such a fun song to play. What are some other songs you'd like to see videos for?
@JGrimaldi7723 one I always wanted to figure out was "Cameage" or "Get the Time" for Descendents. I only know the beginning riff of "GTT".
@@michaelpawlowicz9377 I have a cover video for Cameage. Check it out and if you can't see what's happenin, lemme know and I can create a tutorial video for it. Get the Time is a great idea. I'll learning that one!
@JGrimaldi7723 nice! I 'll check it out.
keep up the work
Will do, thank you!
Damn bro… that les paul back there looks like it is played lower than Slash… like knee cap les paul.
A well planted rock stance let's you really dig in at that height. Otherwise, forget it, lol.
The fun you were having there is contagious.
Oh, thanks! I appreciate that. It’s the perfect song 🎶 Kinda hard not to rock 🤘🍻
Nice.
Thank you very much 🤘
\m/
Love the video!! Thanks for the lesson, this is one of my favorite descendents songs
Mine too! Thank you! Cheers 🍻
such a beautiful gibson!!
Thank you!
😌 🎶 👍👍👍
Ahh! I just saw this! Thank you! Cheer(s)!
Thanks for this. Such an underrated song of theirs. I will try this out!
It’s my pleasure, Jeremy. Thank you for checking it out 🤘
Crushed it….killer
Thanks, Spike!
The Algorithm neglected to surface your recent videos to my feed but boy was I pleasantly surprised when I explicitly sought them out. Please keep 'em coming, John!
Wow, thanks Mat! I’ve got a couple gems in the works. I appreciate you taking the time to check them out. 🤘
❣️ "Promosm"
Mmmm, totally!
Awesome job, question tho, what’s the tuning?
Thank you 🙏 E Standard tuning
Very cool. I'm curious, what are you using for amp/gain here. Sounds really rich and clear. I dig it.
Right on, thank you! I'm using the Positive Grid Spark Amp with a cool Descendents sounding tone. Guitar is recorded directly to Garage Band (using the Spark app for tone). Then I use that WAV for guitar audio when I edit.
@@JGrimaldi7723 very cool. You really do have that Egerton tone here. I did a cover of “Mary” a while back using the Neural DSP Plini plugin for all the guitars. I’m curious what you think: ua-cam.com/video/b9Ix_Ok0VfQ/v-deo.htmlsi=YH1TIcbgk2ffnPHs
You're doing a great job, John. More dudes will eventually get around to them and appreciate your articulate tuition style. 🤙
Thanks very much, Pete. I appreciate that.
Brillant cover. I listened this song so much
Thank you! It’s always been one of my favorites!
Great song and a fantastic job on playing it! 🤙 PS: I saw your comment on favorite song… mine is Catalina. It reminds me of all the years I spent fishing that island and how much I love it!
Thank you! Oh, man. I love Catalina. Put on my Beatles tape and get you outta my head!
Thank you so much! I love descendents
Me, too! What's your favorite song or album??
@@JGrimaldi7723 From descendents, I'd have to say In Love This Way. My favourite album is the Liveage! one. I personally love the live shows, it's got older stuff and newer stuff.
Great song! As soon as I read your message, I heard the jangly guitars and started singing...Amazing. Have you checked out Hallraker? The live version of My World blows me away. It's kind of their 'other' live album, but I love it just as much as Liveage. ALL Trailblazer is another gem.
@@JGrimaldi7723 I've listened to Hallraker before, but not in a while. I'll give it a listen right about now! I do like ALL, but Pummel isnt on the streaming service I use. I would like to have physical copies, but I don't. I really love Descendents and their Cheerfulness. As much as I love the heavier stuff, I always come back to bands like Descendents.
so sick
Thanks, friend 🤘 What kind of videos do you think I should do next?
@@JGrimaldi7723 christmas vacation or ace by descendents!
Fine choices, thank you! I’m considering tutorials for some of the new vids. Cheers 🍻
Looks like an early '70s SG that fretboard looks ebony/ amazing 😎
1974. She’s a dream. 🤘
@@JGrimaldi7723 Love it My bass player Kevin he had a 72 SG with I think a harmonica bridge that guitar was just butter The neck was sweet 👍
hey is there any chance that you publish the guitar tabs?
I don't usually publish tabs but I will look into it and post them if it's not too much of a pain in the arse. 😀
@@JGrimaldi7723 that would be great :)
I used to know how to play this one, but I'd always break strings from rocking out to hard. 🤘
Perfect, lol. 🤘🍻
And if you could do a vid on how to play "Baggage" nice and slow and showing the notes I'd send you another check. I ain't rich tho.
Baggage is a great song! I’ve been trying to figure out where to take this channel and that gives me some fuel, so thank you. I’ll have to learn it. Let me see what I can come up with. Stay tuned!
Baker is so good. You killed it. Any Can I Say or I’ve Heard?
Thanks, man. Baker is a wizard, no doubt. Not yet but I can put those on my list. Cheers 🍻
@@JGrimaldi7723 awesome! Thanks. I’ve gotta keep practicing to play as well as you someday, John.
@@daveeatworld Thanks, Dave. I really appreciate that, man. Progress is inevitable if you enjoy it and keep at it. 🤘🍻
@@JGrimaldi7723 100%. Gotta enjoy the journey!
Excellent song, band and cover!
Hells yes! Thanks, Dave!🍻
🙌🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great channel!! And music taste!!!!
Thank you 🤘
Gran ejecución con gran pasión, como se debe sentir el Rock N Roll. Larga vida a Descendents. Este tipo de covers son muy agradables a la vista y al oído porque aparte de didácticos están hechos con mucho entusiasmo, sentimiento, ganas, muy pasionales. Se agradece.
¡Hola, Omar! Muchas gracias por escuchar y tomarse el tiempo para comentar. Hago estos videos porque me encanta tocar la guitarra y aprender mis canciones favoritas, especialmente Descendents! ¡Larga vida a los Descendientes y al Rock N' Roll! ¡Cheers mi amigo! 🤘
Good job. It's such a cool guitar song ... I'll need to carve out a few hours of time to sit down and learn how to do this one!
Thanks, Ashley! It's a quirky one for sure but it's always been a favorite. Enjoy!
COOL
Cheers!
one of my favorite songs
Same here! Love me some Farside! Cheers 🍻
This is NOT an easy one. Good job man! Baker is a master at his craft.
No joke. BB is the man. Cheers!
Absolutely killer. <3 What kinda amp/cab/recording gear are you using for this. Guitar tone sounds really good.
Thanks, Kip! I'm playing through a Marshall JCM 800 2205 50 watt head with a Marshall 4 X12. The secret sauce is in the pickups. The original bridge pickups were recently replaced with a Gibson 57 Plus humbucker. It gave kind of a thicker, Sabbath like tone at first, but once I adjusted the Marshall, she purred. I mixed the audio and my guitar live (aka loud speaker and amp) and hit record on the Ipad. I use a Focusrite Scarlett solo now and a Sure SM 58 to mic the guitar so everything can be mixed in post. I know the SM57 is the preferred guitar mic, but I had a 58 and it does the trick. Cheers! John
@@JGrimaldi7723 Classic setup. Great results! I've often unscrewed the ball from an SM58 and mic'd a cab with it... works just fine! I like your vids. You're a really solid player and you have these Descendents tunes locked!
@@KipCount Thanks, dude. That means a shit ton. And I'll try that SM58 trick!
Tabs?
No tabs.
Sweeeet
Cheers!
My favourite song from descendents, you nailed it man 🙌
Awesome, thank you! I get to see them (again) here in a few weeks with Samiam and Jawbreaker!! So stoked. Cheers!
@@JGrimaldi7723 that’s awesome I love Samiam too!
@@JGrimaldi7723 that’s awesome I love Samiam too!
sounds great! great job!
Much obliged 🤘
nice
Thank you 🍻
!! Awesome my friend you rock !! haha keep it up :D !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, friend 👊 What songs do you wanna hear ??
Underrated pearl!
Agreed! Did you get to see them on their recent tour?
No, I live in Brazil
Well, I hope they make it your way. I was fortunate enough to see them in Orlando and they were fantastic! Super energetic, like no time had passed. Cheers 🍻
Yes! I was literally just playing this and a bunch of others from this album! But now I’m going to go work on that solo!
Sweet! Wig Out is one of my favorite albums and Brian Baker is such a shredder! It’s not perfect but I hope I did it justice! Cheers 🍻
So Hot buddy!!! Yewwww
Yea, buddy! 🤘
Awesome!!! I love the black and white and color switching :)
Thank you!
Sweet doing meal prep and this happened miss ya bud much 💘
Likewise, old friend 👊
This is badass
