Kings X , with it's, quasi Christian themes, Is really using some biblical quotes/themes " Shooting, at a target that eludes" me,(Sin is and old archery term meaning "miss the mark") But I learned to turn the other cheek and smile While I ran for one more mile As Christ's words mimic "go the extra mile" Matthew 5:41,' whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two'. Scholarly versions of this verse refer to a practice of impressment by the Roman law on Jews. To me, I can relate with this song to many situations in my life.. Putting up with people that annoy, frustrate, infuriate, in a tight space( bus,work cubical, et cetera.) I get a lot from this song.That's my personal interpretation.🙏😁 BTW, superb cover and playing!
I'm not a big strat fan at all (prefer compound radius'ed fretboards) but the Elite is a gem. I absolutely love the sound of it, especially in Ty's hands. The first time I heard King's X was back when Faith, Hope, Love came out and their first single came out on Headbanger's ball. Being a metalhead I was a bit confused but they quickly became one of my favorite bands of all time. You just can't put them in a category. It's a shame this country's music tastes have gotten so poor.
May just be the attack of your picking is accented by some compression or such. Anyway, you have a great tone and good feel! I never learned much King's X but love the band/sound. Ironically, I used to own an L5 but a loser borrowed it and sold it for drugs. I had a Les Paul copy into the L5 and man, it was sweet. I was copping Boston tunes and VH. taker easy.
Thanks! I put all the details of the gear in the video description for you. Really straight forward actually and I think the only thing that might be out of the ordinary are the Kinman pickups.
I've been watching your King's X vids all week, so frigging good! You inspire me to keep trying to match the style of their first four albums. Such amazing music and sound!
I'm still here brotha and feeling blessed to be alive. Went and seen the fellas bout a month back. Sounded phenomenal as always and Ty's tone was exceptionally good that evening. That guy could plug into a turd and it would sound good. Hope is well with you and God Bless🙏
Excellent! I just posted a version of this over a backing track I made and yours came up as a related video. Didn't know about your efforts to nail Ty's tone before. It's dead on. I didn't really try to get Ty's tone exact like you (but that doesn't mean you can't check it out anyway ;-)) I was sad when Ty gave up on the Strat Elite. I got to play his once at the Ear Candy studio session. Felt great!
Hi Newman, just found your site WOW!! Your playing and sound are just fantastic and like many on this site, I have been a Ty Tabor/ Kings X fan... since I lived in Katy TX in the '90. Was fortunate to acquire one of Ty's ZION Strat's #28 from the Dogman and right after the Elite days. Although it can get the same tone as yours and Ty's, my combo of gear doesn't quite get it. Thank you for posting this vid, much appreciated. I'll keep watching your site for new stuff. Mick
Thank ya Mick. Hope you're enjoying that Zion Killer tone on the Dogman album He was running that Zion through some Elite electronics back then so was still getting a bit of that Elite tone Best to ya bro and thank you again.
+J Winslow Thank ya very much. Glad yr enjoying the vids It was a lot of fun making them and I'm glad there are a few folk out there enjoying them. Best to ya friend :)
That main riff was tricky, but got it after the first few runs. The part I still have trouble with, like all of Ty's stuff, is the breakdowns in the middle and at the end. It's his timing, and the phrasing he uses on those arpegios.
Awesome! i cannot even play guitar sadly...im a Flutist... but i draw my leads from guitars not other flutists. this sounded great! King's X is one of those bands that make your stereo system sing
I'm not sure the muting of the chorus lick is right. Isn't Tabor playing them w/o muting? Ah, but hey, it's your vid. hehe I always thought Ty's sound was kick arse. Hard to get new sounds now with billions of people playing and so much already done.
Very nicely done. Awesome tone.....I'm not sure what you might have to change to make it any better. It sounds like a live version of the studio sound. I still listen to this album and love it. Cheers from Nov 2020.
I'm a hack compared to the you. LOL Beautiful stuff yr posting Wish I had yr skills and discipline. At the end of my "What Is This" and Shot Of Love" postings I have a section that gives u the the general gear and settings used for the Ty postings. Thanks for the kind words and keep those fingers limber. :)
You are too kind! Thank you! Can't wait to check out the settings you posted and see if my AxeFx can simulate them. That is seriously the best tone of all time.
Let's not forget Eddie VH, Holdsworth, Brian May and about anything Tom Quale plugs into. LOL. I would think with the axe/fx u would be able to dial something in that's close. Best of luck and keep posting :)
I was kind of shocked a little to find out his tone on the first 4 albums he said was a Lab Series L5. You don't hear of many using those. I think Gibson had something to do with that company.
@@TheScunion By the way sorry I neglected to say the last time I was here watching you perform this 3 years ago That you did an awesome job!!! And I like that piano piece at the end too, Is that yours? Very soothing to the ear.
Well done...Great capture of Ty's tone. I'm on the mission myself of finding that tone. I'm a beginner/intermediate player...I just bought and Music Man Petrucci sig and a Mustang 3 Amp...Where do I go from here?
+Marcus Vinnas What's up my man Marcus Hope yr doing well Always checking out yr channel for new stuff Awesome playing as always Aspire to be as great of player as yrself someday God bless.
+TheScunion Hey my friend! Very niiiiice hearing from you and you kind words! Do you use Facebook? If yes I am there as 'Marcus Vinicius Correa', please add. I am @Vinnas on Twitter, but I use it for very few times a week. Keep in touch and please add more music ASAP!!!
Great playing and tone as always Newman! I covered this song as well using a PODxt but I didn't try to nail the tone like you have. Since then I picked up an L5 and I'm wondering if you use anything else besides the L5 amp for gain/distortion? I'm not sure what's under the orange towel thats secret but I'm assuming it's not anything related to overdrive/gain?
Wasn't using the "orange towel device (that would be a modulation device)" when I made this one. I will say that the Fender Elite has quite a bit of output. Has a 20 db gain boost built into the circuitry, not to mention that Tabor "classic" tone isn't as saturated gain wise as a lot of people think which I believe accounts for the clarity of that tone. The "clean/dirty thing so to speak. Also Ty used a preamp box made from the guts of the Elite electronics that he would plug non Elite guitars into. I was told by Wally Farkas a couple years back that he hasn't used that device for sometime. Great tone on yr Lost In Germany posting by the way :) Best to ya my brother in arms.
Hey fellow Tye and Newman friends....... thescunion is one of my best friends and I wanted to share this with all of you.....he likes to fly under the radar and is one of the most humble guys out there....thanks for your time!!!! Tony is facing health issues and a go fund me page has been created.... Mike gf.me/u/wnvf2
Still awesome in July 2022!
Thank ya Robert !

Truth.
I thought for a minute it was Ty, superb and inspiring. Thank you!
Thank you; that’s very kind of you.
October 2020 and still relevant...the original artist AND the baddest cover artist alive!

Fantastic performance of an amazing song.
Thank you

Wow. I'm floored. An amazing note-for-note lesson on how to play this song. Well done.
Very nice, I love this song too. how are you tuned?
Fantastic guitar song!

Most excellent. I wish the guitar was this hot in the original mix \m/
@pinfinity If I'm not mistaken it's 440 with a drop D.
Espectacular! Same sound! Great playing!
I'm making a day out of your King's X covers. I started with the EVH stuff.. Which I thought you did great on but the Ty Tabor stuff.. Perfection!
+J Winslow Thank ya very much. Glad yr enjoying the vids
It was a lot of fun making them and I'm glad there are a few folk out there enjoying them.
Best to ya friend :)
INCREDIBLE... !! on many levels
That is some fantastic tone. Great playing too!
Ty is the ultimate badass! Great job!!
You make this look easy. Well done.

Brad Paisley has a pretty bad ass tone also
How could I forget Brad.
Noice! 👍😎

Who's still coming back? (August 2024)
Yea I kind of shlip shlodded the first one myself. lol.
