The riff starting at 2:22 is one of the sickest riffs in all rock/metal
Agreed
And Gus G plays it best.
So epic
No Jake plays it better he wrote the fukin song
That harmonic dude.... Omfg
I love that he doesn't take himself too seriously, and just acts like a person.
it's because he is Greek man! Good simple people.
yeah...refreshing'
@J. Milton Jeffreys people have feelings bro, he seems happy at his videos but hes also go ups and down in his career ;-)
@Kent Horvath He is nicer🐮
shut up
2:22 cleanest riff I ever heard man.
Damn, Ozzy made the right choice again. Dude really knows how to pick talented players. Awesome sound!!
Those Bark at the Moon riffs are boss as a motherfucker. And that tone is incredible.
John Knapp cause Jake E Lee wrote them
But Gus plays them great...
Just lacks that magical edge and pure raw touch and sound what is in my opinion needed to be with true craftmanship
Totally!! One of the best Ozzy tracks ever! :) Here's my attempt at Bark At The Moon in time for Halloween! Cheers! th-cam.com/video/IlCoBhF1tgY/w-d-xo.html
@@DavidsMusicChannel Right on !
I can guess your income! It’s not a lot!
people who smile when they play are my favorite.
I love his joyful expression when he does that natural harmonic and bends the string on the nut on Bark at the Moon.
PrehistoricBeasts yeah made me smile back. Niiiiice
Gus shows how cool he really is...great guitar chops and a nice guy...
Tone is penmanship, playing is poetry. This dude, like everyone who chops wood for Ozzy, is a poet.
Gus played tonight at Monsters of Rock Buenos Aires, the guy is a beast! and he's so young!! you gotta give him some credit to be in stage and play with a monster like Ozzy =) we all know that nobody can do what Randy did, but Gus is a great guitarist!
Jake E lee did it but Sharon the bitch and Ozzy stole royalties from Lee and bassist Bob Daisy google it up sir. Jake E. Lee did a great music collaboration with Oz.
Jake wrote the whole bark at the moon album and the Ultimate sin. Ozzy only writes lyrics, and nobody can play bark at the noon like Jake, well he wrote it.
Adrian Monzon seeeee lo fue fue un re solazo el que se mando gus en Bs as en el monsters
+Metalgears1968 I agree. Watch Jake's interview, Ozzy only came up with the song names and melody. The music and lyrics goes to Bob and Jake.
+Adrian Monzon lol zakk was about 18 when he started with ozzy
+Adrian Monzon Fue la primera vez que lo escuché a este vago en el monsters.. la rompió toda sin dudas.
Such a humble talented guitarist! I love the way he brings his own style but keeps faithful to the originals! I LOVE 2:45!
Such a nice guy. I recently watched an interview in a greek tv channel and this dude was really down to earth
That is one tasty guitar tone.
metfan4l Dial the gain back a little and it'd be much better.
Hell no, the high gain sounds awesome.
Too buzzy and fizzy for my taste. The tone is there but I personally think it would sound so much tighter if it was dialed back just a hair.
Robert Landrum I agree with you. I used to crank my gain to 11(10) but realized that around 7 is a clearer more detailed overdrive. bass around 7, mid 2-4, treb 10.

This Tone was so absolutely delicious, Gordon Ramsey quit cooking.
His tone so phat kids stopped making yo mama jokes and replaced it with Gus’ tones jokes.
His tone is so sexy it doesn’t even need to advertise it’s only fans account.
Good shit mate
His tone was so sexy that it made johnny sins retire
This comment is next level. I'm in love with you, no homo, unless. . . . . .
@@Gonnasifaherpewarts 👀👀👀
He took a lot of heat for not playing the variation of F that Jake did but in this video he shows how he plays it and how Jake wrote it and nails them both. This guys a giant!
There is no doubt that Gus G is one of the greatest rock guitarists on earth!!!!!
This guy picks up ware randy left off
@@jeffreybabino8161 i wouldn’t go that far bro ☠️
@@j.jaguilar9770 damn right, if anybody picked up where Randy left off it's Jake e Lee...I believe he was the best after Randy
@@ArronP yeah i was saying gus g isn’t the best at all lol jake e lee is my favorite guitarist
can't believe so many people criticizing this guy's tone or technique or saying he's average or that zack or randy is no good either. who are you to criticise send a vid of your own playing to show us how good you are and then you might talk. Otherwise just enjoy these great players out there on youtube!
Well, you don't have to be Samuel Jackson to express your opinion about an actor
good point Raul!
This dude is a fucking clone , his own band is shite , and Ozzy gives us a second rate guitarist . Is that critical enough ? it beats kissing ass ;)
I believe lots of players would love to be that kind of second rate... still waiting for criticizers to show us their own skills instead of putting others down ;) ;)
hahahahaha......now pull that drildo out of your ass, you've punished yourself enough for the day...
we are so proud here he is GREEK..He is a macedonian greek from thessaloniki...great character....great guitar player...
@J. Milton Jeffreys its the lifestyle. Despite the way they look doesn't represent them as people. And no hes not American, he's Greek. America just let him shine :-)
@J. Milton Jeffreys yeah for like a year for studies and then return during the ozzy days, not sure if this makes him an american :P
Why do you Americans have to claim everything, he’s not American and neither is ozzy get over it
@@nickclark4507 thanks dude :)
J. Milton Jeffreys Lol it’s not his real name his name is Greek he has a Greek accent lives now in Greece argument voided
Gus never ceases to impress me. He's just SO good. And his sound here is murderously heavy and ballsy.
Gus plays Bark at the moon the best, you cant deny it
Gus G. is an excellent hard rock / metal guitarist! His work with Firewind and Ozzy is phenomenal! World class all the way!
I discovered him during Dream Evil. Followed his work ever since.
Great player very relaxed,confident but not overly flashy!! He looks very comfortable with his guitar, versitile, able to play riffs in each players style at a moments notice!! Ozzy alwayz finds those Gemz!!
Gus just adds a flavor to these songs that is absolutely amazing.
Gus's riffing is so precise and clean! Great player...💚🎸
He slides into every riff.
Ameer Saban don't we all
Not sure.
I slide into your girlfriend. (C'mon, somebody was going to say it).
That slide gives me time to think and a boost to go into the next part, it is natural!
Thats why he is bad.
His playing is clean and looks so effortless.
I freaking love the blackstar tone. Period
Another great ax man for Oz. Not his biggest fan but the man has an ear. I can't think of anyone who wasn't outstanding in their own right. And props to any mortal man stepping in to cover the Maestro Randy Rhoads. Bernie, Brad, Jake, Zakk, Joe Holmes, and Gus. Did I leave anyone out? That's quite a list. Next to Randy I have to say Brad was amazing. His work on Speak of the Devil is just epic. When I finally heard the original Sabbath versions I was let down to some degree.
Funny how people ramble on about shoes being filled, rating their styles, and other bullshit. Each guitarist that played for Ozzy expressed the music accordingly to what feels natural to them, that's what makes them unique as individuals and as musicians.
02:40 cool trick on the headstock there ahah :D
Try it with a Gibson les paul and you're fucked!
@@Phaseband yup my Les Paul is impossible to pull that off,I got a few other guitars where I can get that..but Les Pauls ain't very good for that...there so heavy instruments.,I like when Randy would bend the neck of his guitar around the "mental wounds not healing" there's that harmonic Randy does and bends the neck of his guitar out...great technique... My Les Paul can bend that way most of the time
I just love it, when guitarists have so much fun playing something that it makes'em smile like 4 year olds!!!
I’ve probably watched this video at least a hundred times if not more, I really wish that you would have made a longer video of you playing Randy’s guitar riffs. Dude you’re the closest link to his guitar playing. He lives through you Gus
Were you smacking it each time?
@@SocieteMacabre well now everyone knows what is on your mind. But hey I’m not gonna judge you, if you like the idea of other guys jerking a load off then that’s perfectly fine
I like it. He's living the dream.
he does got his own thing going
I love how this guy plays riffs
Thanks man. You were smiling the whole way. Thanks so much.
Gus is a great guitar player, there is no doubt about it, but IMO, the best guitar player that Ozzy ever had is Jack E Lee, that dude is crimanally underrated...
agreed did you see Jakes q and a on how bark at the moon is actually played, but what the hell is it with zakk and gus playing too many pinch harmonics, bark at the moon isn't supposed to sound "heavy".
yay mate !
You spelled Randy Rhoads wrong, Jake was second to Randy
google him ... youtube him... or whatever
Youri Lévesque yay man absolutly ! and oh yeah, kudos for the RR tatoo ;)
Gus G is awesome. Opa!
his playing is so fluid and perfect!!!!!!
great tone, great playing
I love Jake he's one my favorite guitarist but this Gus G not bad I like he puts his own stamp on classic Ozzy stuff
Gus and Zakk butcher Jake's song, I'm a guitarist and can properly criticize this shit.
Arthur Miller had said he was pleased with that but the police had no more chance to go back yet again but they have had to be a better team of work who had been given his time for his first time since his was released in a short time of his visit with a family members club and
I just had with
In light of the comments here, it's really difficult to regard Gus G as anything other than terrific. I'm old, and saw Randy Rhodes with Ozzy back in the day, but tone, technique, and expectations have risen since then. Ozzy can afford the best, and anyone flaming Gus G confuses me… The guy is good, get over it.
Joe Mama he's a shitty person
@@xhonda450r why?
@@gfka7 He probably shagged the guy's gf. Gus G is a legend and way more modest than your average Greek!
He makes it look so effortless. Great guitar player.
Gus seems like a genuinely nice guy! Not stuck on himself, very refreshing!
@Geoffrey If he was "like anyone else playing at home" he wouldn't play with Ozzy. That simple.
He's got a super crisp right hand.
Gus G. Is a beast of a player and gentleman. Great combo!
he's one of the refreshing "low key" guys...very,very likable down to earth
O RESPEITO DELE PELAS COMPOSIÇÕES É INCRÍVEL. TOCA CERTINHO E AINDA CRIOU RIFFS HONESTOS NO ÁLBUM "SCREAM" .
Come on guys... This is just a practice video for TH-cam. Why would he spend hours on his tone just for messing around on TH-cam? Can we just concentrate on his ability and skill, or how about how cool it is that we even have the chance to hear and see the guitarist that Ozzy picked to be HIS guitarist up close and personal? It's supposed to be fun and cool, and you are all only interested in showing how much more you know than than everyone else and how amazingly awesome of a guitar tone expert you are. If you're really that amazing, get In a band, right some rad songs and become as successful as Gus G. That will show him and everyone how cool you are. Not some words in a comment field for a TH-cam video!
Jeremy Freund yeah i agree bro too many opinions!!
Darren Richter opinions are opinions boy and you are free to give 'em, and to bad their not of your likings. And you're the one who needs to grow up.
The harmonics are insane!
Goddamn. Listening in headphones at high volume, these detuned chords in Bark at The Moon ring out so heavy. Good lord Gus's tone from the way he frets these chords and maybe also his intonation, is just filthy. Especially in the breakdown, or the bridge before the short coda to the solo. It is SO HEAVY. Wow.
amazing sound and even more amazing guitar player!
I imagine he’s a good bouzouki player. His timing is so accurate.
Cant believe what i Just Heard. I have no words for this. No words.
He was such a good choice, he had(s) such good chops and did the songs justice.. definitely underrated.
I love the amp. It has some serious balls to it. Its nice and chunky. Its not a Marshall, but it does the job !
That tone is from the heavens opening up and shot straight down to our ears
that was a pleasure to listen to, thank you!
what the hell is wrong with you people..I just love that massive full tone..what's wrong with that..not everything has to be flat and treble
Marijan Barać EXACTLY tone is so good to me my dick gets hard haha
But the bottom end is way lose
Agree, Rikki. Dudes that will say " tone is so good to me my dick gets hard haha " will find ' tone ' in a mountain of distortion
Metal Pillowcase but the thing is, there is no mix here. It can't really get lost.
Marijan Barać... I know, right?
Everybody is a fucking critic. Hes playing in a motel room with an off the shelf mediocre amp, and no other instruments. I really doubt he spent much time dialing in his tone. He probably grabbed his guitar and plugged in at a moments notice.
I hear this, and i realize that i suck at guitar
You didnt know that before??
😂
Ive been playing for over 30 years
I still sound average but i really enjoy playing and writing
Really loved his lengthier playthrough of Bark at the Moon
I had never seen him play up until now but he is incredibly talented! Ozzy is lucky to have found him. Another in a long line of great guitarists.
joe holmes was awesome!!
I agree. He played RR songs note for note. Great guitar player.
ape plays note for note ... Holmes is more then ape, he adds great feeling and emotions to his plays ... when he strums whatever song, I've got goosbumps all over ... pitty that he is not in ozzy's band ...
Joe Holmes is a great great, hardly credited ozzy guitarist. Joe is so overlooked as far as talent. Way underrated.. A very humble guy yoo.
I could be wrong but wasn't Joe a student of Randy?
I think "a little bit" is very nice! 2:36
I saw him live on the local music store, and he was great!
Absolutely KILLER tone!!
Zakk Wylde is still my favorite Ozzy guitarist but this guy is really good.
shut up beach
SouthPaw No u
Robert Serro this... Do you know the band? Are you aware of Randy Rhoads? Do you have ears?
Josh XM_Smith I like Zack's darker tone Randy is great but I just prefer Zack
Robert Serro I can't name one quality song Zakk has written with ozzy but I can name 2 full albums with randy. I guess it's just an opinion.
That guy should be on Game of thrones.
epic! nice take on some classic riffs..
Liked the Mr Crowley particularly..
Gus, you’re really really good! smooth as hell, great touch/feel... and you’re a nice guy i can tell!
Best guitar player since Randy Rhoads
You're insane Jake e lee was top tier
I don't care about how he's playin guitar , he's too cute :D Though I love Firewind \m/
That smile when he hits that badass pitch harmonic hahaha
What a fantastic guitarist and a wicked and powerful tone and sound.
"I've heard versions where people do it like that" - he means Zakk Wylde. Someone said that anyone can sound like Zakk Wylde after playing guitar for 5 years, and I have to agree. Gus G has strange fills, but Zakk uses squeals like a kid who has just learnt them and has to use it 100 times.
There isn't enough gain
It's treble that's missing or maybe it's mids. Def not gain.
lol
Or cowbell.
That guitar is badass. Looks and sounds perfect perfect
That's cool,great amp and great guitarist,God bless you.
I agree Jake E Lee was Ozzy,s greatest guitar player ever
Yon Cheramie yes he was. I have a lot of respect for Brad as well. He finished an almost impossible tour days after Randy dying. I'll always respect brad for the adversity he stood up to, that had to been a tough and almost impossible gig and he got them through it.
Rhandy rhodes Was Ozzy's best Guitarist. He just didnt live long enough To Turn into a Guitar God.
They all good,
But rhoads sits easily at the top of pile. .
I still don't get how he did that shit at 2:40
HydraWolf1 He played the harmonics and pressed down on the string behind the nut.. Look for tutorials on natural harmonics on guitar :)
Well I knew the pinch harmonic part...
+HydraWolf1 not a pinch harmonic. Natural harmonic
+gman248 Rory Gallagher used to do that too.
Gwyn's Last Knight: And he smiled at the end because he knew we were going to ask!
I love the tone,awesome..
man yu are just perfect !!i love the way you play !!!
Gus needs a fuckin beard!!
200 dislikes? WTF!!
208
Well, it sounds good, not like he is totally ruining it.
Keep in mind, 4000 likes, 200 dislikes, that's pretty much .05% of people who disliked this. Statistical noise, not to be focused on.
Hating a guitarist for having his own style is absolutely retarded.
Mitchell Chrest
Well, you gotta redo some math dude, 200 divided by 4000 equals 0.05 but in percentage mode it's 5%, NOT 0.05% ;-)
Gotta remember too, at least 200 people's parents probably wouldn't spend that much money on gear for them. Until they master bar chords at least.
He makes it look effortless.
OK. I KNOW EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO THEIR OWN OPINIONS, AND I TRY TO RESPECT THAT. UNFORTUNATELY, EVERY ONE CAN'T HAVE EXCELLENT TASTE IN MUSIC. AS EVIDENCED BY THE DISLIKES. ANYWAY, CRAZY TRAIN, AND BARK AT THE MOON HAVE ALWAYS BEEN FAVORITES OF MINE. MY OPINION, OZZY WAS FORTUNATE TO HAVE GUS PLAY. THANKS AGAIN FOR THE UPLOAD. KEEP ROCKING GUS!!!
It's actually interesting that a lot of people here are saying that his tone sucks, which it does. The funny thing is, that the sound is so gained that there is no tone. There's zero depth and articulation, it's just distortion. Take a lesson from Dimbag. Large amounts of gain needs to be done with gear that can bring out the notes and the dynamics. Very few amps can do that. Boogie MkII C++, Krankenstein, JCM 800, Diezel Einstein and Herbert are a few of the only ones that can really do it. The Blackstar is a nice amp, but things get muddy quickly, when too much gain is used.
The last guy any electric guitarist should take lessons in tone from is Dimebag "Solidstate" Darrell. His good-technique-to-shitty-tone ratio was off the charts.
I think it sounds amazing. Might want to get a hearing test. Gus G live is amazing. Go check it out before you spout bullshit on the internet...
not even Gus plays bark at the moon right. lol
I met Gus last night here in Vancouver before his show with Firewind . Awesome guy and awesome live !
I first heard Gus in Dream Evil. He's always been a beast on guitar.
The book of heavy metal lol
tones a little muddy, but THANK GOD he's miking the amp and not going through a bunch of damn processors and electronic boards and crap...nothing better than a miked amp....NOTHING!
Never really cared for Gus G....no offense Gus. There is no other then Randy Rhoads which those shoes simply can not be filled. However, Zakk Whyle is an amazing guitarist in his own right. No he's no Randy Rhoads however he's up there in a guitarist that will go down in history. Gus the more I watch him the more I do in fact like what I see. I think the issue with Gus thus far is that we have only seen him play cover songs. There's nothing real original that I have seen him do. Still although I rank him #3 of all of Ozzys guitarist having Randy be first an Zakk second. Gus is an inspiration to anyone who plays.
Wow? Go back and really listen to the Ozzy catalog. If you were a real guitarist and music fan, you'd be saying Jake and Randy are the top two, then Gus then Zakk. Gus has done originals he has a full album w/ Ozzy and he's got a few Firewind albums that he has done as well.
Fellas, are we forgetting Iommi here? How can you not put the godfather of metal as one of Ozzy's top 3?
ozfan6 Tony Iommi Is exactly that. The God Father of Heavy Metal riffs. However Tony was with Black Sabbath. This conversation revolves around Ozzy after Black Sabbath. You have to simply love Tony just for his desire and drive alone since the man lost finger tips and replaced them himself with plastic ones when the doctors told him that would be impossible. Yet he created his own finger tips just to keep on playing. Truly a inspiration.
ozfan6 because seriously, we're talking about skill and technique. When people talk about Ozzy guitarists and mention Randy then you have to assume we're tlaking about technique and over all skills and mastery of the guitar..
Ryan T By your last statement are you attempting to take something away from Tony Iommi? Is there a hint there that you might be saying that Tony lacks technique and overall skills and mastery of the guitar?
Very insightful.
I love his tone and playing.
Zakk is the BEST!
Marco Layne Crapanzano nope
Randy is the BEST!
Zakk sucksssssss. Probably the most overrated famous guitar player.
i agree
"Classic Ozzy Riff" 'cept Ozzy didn't play guitar now did he.
It's his music and his band.
Ozzy's penis is the essence of Jesus Christ.
That sound is awesome
Amazing!
Gus G is a really great guitarist, has some fucked up amazing licks, but this tone is flat out garbage
"Flat-out garbage"? This comment just goes to prove that two people hear two different things. I find his sound here powerful, crunchy and enveloping. And I am certain it would sound even MORE so sitting there in that room, without having to be channelled through the crap medium of TH-cam. But we like what we like, right? Be cool.
Agreed, he's a great talent and Ozzy was smart to pick him, but his tone sounds like an undefined wet fart, drowned in distortion with all the mids scooped out. It sounds like the generic "heavy" sound that all the 2000's metalcore bands had. I'm not hating on him as a musician [he's a lot better than me], it's more his choice of gear and EQ settings I have an issue with.
xunderxdosedx
That's perfectly fine. But as I say, I really dig his sound here. It's subjective. No right or wrong. Your don't like it and I do.
*****
Oh ... yeah. Thanks.
FelpHero I do like his tone for bark at the moon but that's it
