He is honestly so underrated as a guitar player but he's actually quite amazing, I think one of the problems is people think he dont know how to play anything else but metal. Hearing him play something straight and simple like this puts a big smile on my face.
Amazing rendition of "Sleepwalk". Preserves the spirit of the original, while updating it to a more modern style and adding just the right amount of heaviness. Genius! Good job.
Wes is has become one of my top 10 players along with Keith seriously though guys your music is every thing I dream to play one day. This piece is beautiful. this is art :B
I give thumbs up to this convict with huge tatoo arms with the sweetest and gentlest playing melody I've heard in a while. Don't kill me with your huge arms convict, I'm already killed by that sweet tone! ♡
Excellent, very tasteful and I love sleepwalk. In my top three of instrumental songs. I like the overhead pedal view too. I wish more people would do that.
Beyond the fact that this compo was meant for the signal chain demonstration - it's pretty goddamn good arrangement which deserves to be extended a bit IMO
I want to see more videos of Wes Hauch playing, He has perfect intonation and killer technic, but what I like most is His slection of notes and feel...
I really enjoyed this video. I like the Schecter KM7 guitar. It has a similar color to my Ernie Ball Musicman Petrucci Desert Gold 7 string. The greatest thing about this video is that it shows that 7 strings are not just for metal. I really dig the arrangement of this song. Also, the solo examples of the pedals used. I was the most impressed with how the bass sounded. I wasn't expecting that what was used for the take.
Awesome for you guys to honor Santo & Johnny! I love the Bryan Seltzer version but a version with a metal spin on it? Yes please!! Thanks for the video!
Amazing vibrato and, wow, you got that Friedman head. You should try the Jerry Cantrell sig head man, it's unbelievable. That Lambo Orange looks amazing too!
+totalcain Yes, I record the audio straight to the DAW and film live at the same time. Then I just replace the camera audio with the recorded audio in post. So what is played in this video is technically a live performance, but with fully mixed/mastered audio. That's how I do most of my videos.
I am a huge Santo & Johnny fan! This was a fucking amazing Rendition of the song performed by one of the best guitar players today! Great Job Wes and Keith! Is there anywhere i can buy this?
I want a Wes Hauch solo album.
+Ryan Berry THIS.
THIS.

There really needs to be more material with Wes Hauch on it. He is a phenomenal player man. Insane vibrato
That was ridiculously pleasant...
Always good to see Wes man what a sick player
please, we still want full song.. thumbs up people
Sleepwalking by Wes Hauch is the most awesome thing ever.
Those are some tasty licks.
Hey you got that propane we talked about in the alley way behind 711
+Harry Matthews Yes and I am not giving to you because I am convinced you're going to make meth with it.
God dang it hank
All I want in life is a LP from Wes Hauch containing such tunes
Fucking outstanding video! Playing, production.....everything!!!
+Keith Merrow It is you who rules, my friend! Big fan!
This is probably the best gear demo I've ever seen. Kick ass.
such an amazing guitarist. love how clean and how easy he makes it seem.
Now I know what that IG video about being stuck in the mountains with a metronome was about... SO tasty. Killer production too.
Oh my god, this was orgasmic! The tone, the tune, the vibrato, the bends...wes is a god!
Sleepwalk is bar none my favorite pop instrumental piece of all time i think. And here its played wonderfully. Killed it for sure.
Wes never disappoints, that technique is insane. I wish I was anywhere near half as good.
Still coming here for this jam 2 years later
Wes Hauch just made me cry. And I'm not ashamed of it.
Wes is seriously on another level, I love everytime you get together
Haven't heard him do much mellow stuff before, love it.
I love the sleepwalk throwback! One of my favorite old time tunes.
Amazing rendition of "Sleepwalk". Preserves the spirit of the original, while updating it to a more modern style and adding just the right amount of heaviness. Genius! Good job.
1:03 damn near brought a tear to my eye. such a great tone.
AMAZING playing here by Wes. Such amazing control, vibrato, precision. Nice. Also killer production and post work from Kieth as we'd expect :)
Wes is has become one of my top 10 players along with Keith seriously though guys your music is every thing I dream to play one day. This piece is beautiful. this is art :B
Wes's feel and control is unmatched! And is fucking phrasing and note choices!!
Wes is such an amazing player. so versatile
I love Wes! I'm stoked he's endorsed by Friedman Amplification! They are the best and so is he!
I give thumbs up to this convict with huge tatoo arms with the sweetest and gentlest playing melody I've heard in a while. Don't kill me with your huge arms convict, I'm already killed by that sweet tone! ♡
To Wes and Keith. This is so awesome. I listen to it over and over again. Brilliantly done. Thanks for sharing
I just come back to listen to the awesomeness. :)
I wish that I could find a playlist or series like this. This would be great study music!
Best demo ever. This is how it should be done.
HUGE sound.... Killer playing, and some seriously creative lines!
Sleepwalkers I love that song. Santo and Johnny would be proud of this. Awesome
Wes is an unbelievable soulful player and here is proof. Just dayum.
Excellent, very tasteful and I love sleepwalk. In my top three of instrumental songs. I like the overhead pedal view too. I wish more people would do that.
This is so beautiful we need an extended version
Beyond the fact that this compo was meant for the signal chain demonstration - it's pretty goddamn good arrangement which deserves to be extended a bit IMO
aw such a lovely version of sleepwalk! never heard a metal version of it before! btw epic tone!
Love this cover tune! Such great tones across the board!
That is a killer arrangement...and fantastic tone. Well done.
cap'n were waiting on you for those TABS!
Amazing piece!

I rly like Wes's playing hes such a great guitarist. cant wait to see him with Black Crown Initiate at Budapest this september!
Man your solo ideas are so great
the best guitar technique I've ever seen
This just crushes me everytime...killer work as usual!
Great rendition of this song! Gorgeous tones and playing.
Love that last chord!
Man, what a frickin outstanding demo!!!
Ugh ... this gives me chills. So good, guys. Classic.
Awesome for you guys to honor Santo & Johnny! I love the Bryan Seltzer version but a version with a metal spin on it? Yes please!! Thanks for the video!
The editing in this vid is intense also! props.
that is a beautiful overdriven sound until 1:09, such a smooth distortion after that, love it :)
PLEASE! Make this a full song!
Im 3 years late but it seems to be an adaptation of Sleep Walk by Deftones. Obviously this version has the awesome distortion and shreddy stuff.
Dude that deftons song is a cover this is an old 50 songs. Johnny and Soto!
Looking forward to your upcoming album. Wes Hauch is a beast!
Wes is killing it dammn...also amazing video and audio keith
Massive fan of you playing keith
Keith Merrow :O
Keith Merrow
wes has his ways around melodic riffs like no other.
Amazing vibrato and, wow, you got that Friedman head. You should try the Jerry Cantrell sig head man, it's unbelievable. That Lambo Orange looks amazing too!
He is using the Friedman JJ Jerry Cantrell head in this video. Thanks for digging what Friedman does bud! :)
Amazing :D great song. Great performance ..wes is amazing!
sleepwalk by santo & johnny, nice song, awesome playing
you are for me my second favorite guitarist with Dimebag Darrell thanks a lot for your videos you are a great inspiration to me.
Awesome video and great playing! The song madam think of the dance/prom scene from Back To The Future when the bands playing.
NICE! more of wes hauch!
Absolutely great!!! Awesome sound! Great music and great player too!
Great video, awesome pedals!
Great stuff ! Always enjoy these videos..reminds me of black stallion jam by Becker and Friedman..
i wish they would put the tab for this song online. i want to learn this rendition so badly. it was amazing :)
Beautiful Schecter Guitar
Love that guitar, nice video man keep em coming.

Wes has vibrato that's older than I am.

Harry Matthews would you like the usual?
Hank Hill Just like Nolly

Amazing!! Wes is such an awesome player ! Lambo km7 next buy for me!
One of the most amazing lead tones I've heard so far.
But the snare is quite loud isn't it?
Wes you are the man.
Omg. I want all of this.
You guys are the coolest.
Dude, Keith. How are you getting such great audio on these videos? Recording audio in DAW and aligning with video in post?
+totalcain Yes, I record the audio straight to the DAW and film live at the same time. Then I just replace the camera audio with the recorded audio in post. So what is played in this video is technically a live performance, but with fully mixed/mastered audio. That's how I do most of my videos.
That's kick ass. Thanks, brotha.
OMG MY MAN WES BE KILLIN IT
Hot DAMN! Great work to both of you
Superb sound and playing, pro.. :)
Creo que hablo por todos cuando digo "QUEREMOS TODA LA CANCION COMPLETA" Esto es excelente!

The intro part reminds me of Kakariko village from ocarina of time :P Love the tone though, Wes is a great guitar player
Hahaha it totally does
Peaman94 That's exactly what I thought!

I love you man, keep up with the vids!
This shit just sparked so may emotions. i need to learn the chord progression

This guy is incredible
