Michael Jackson - Dirty Diana (Guitar Cover)
Музыка
I hope everyone is staying safe in these times.
Steve Stevens has some killer and bizarre guitar work on this song, and that’s even without the ‘laser gun’ at the end. He always comes across well in interviews too which I respect a lot. There’s not much more to be said about Michael that hasn’t already been said but he could have easily had an album of pure rock and it would’ve been killer!
With the UK being on lockdown, I feel I can dedicate the time I would like to playing and recording again.I’d like to do a lot more during this lockdown period, especially more so original content. My computer suffered some hardware failure so I’m stuck for certain recording capabilities and this has been uploaded from my phone, but I’m sure I’ll find a way.
Stay safe

I came across this the other day and I played it in .5 speed till I learned the whole song watching his hands 😂 most people putting lessons on this song still can’t play half as good as this guy
Stevens is so good at knowing how to use restraint. He never plays too much and when it's time to rip it out he knows how to tastefully go over the top. His stuff always gets pushed right to the edge then pulled back leaving room for his singers to shine. Then at the end...a whirlwind. He's the ultimate wingman. This is a fantastic cover. I love your tone.

The guitar's headstock literally has jackson on it
Holy crap this tone is incredible
I can't get over the whaling of that whammy bar during the riff. It's too good.
That harmonic at 2:45 🤌
Michael Jackson's all rock songs attained iconic status. I think his rock songs are the most mature ones. Wish he put much more effort on this genre and made a pure rock album.

he should have been making hair metal lol. this song is pretty much one step away from it, he would have blew all of those hairspray freaks out of the water!
Damn you even managed to pull off the ray gun effect really well! One of the best covers I’ve seen of this song I think even MJ and Steve Stevens would be impressed!
You have no idea how good that sounds............... Damn
Crazy! One hour ago i was scrolling your feed wishing you'll get back. 50 minutes after that this pops up, haha! Amazing and welcome back SIR
The irony 😂 Jackson guitar playing Michael Jackson song😂😂 really good work
Welcome back, That song has some sweet riffs in it.
Even the guitars called Jackson, this is a masterpiece, you’ve inspired me now.
one of the best covers i’ve ever heard this is all i’m listening to
You make this look so damn easy lol. Great job!
Dayum that's just a badass lick!!!!!!! We are not worthy !!!

OMG.. The tune, the precision.....
Can you please please please drop a tutorial😂. I’ve been trying to play this song since I was 12 but never could get it right

The last lick was 🔥🔥🔥🔥

This is killer, and I'm 80s thrash head. Good stuff
You're from the UK? That's awesome! I'm from the UK myself. I remember when Michael Jackson came over to the Milton Keynes Bowl (my Dad and Sister went, I was too young) during the Bad Tour and there was Michael Jackson fever everywhere over there and there was intense press coverage and helicopters flying all over the city that day (same thing happened a year later when Bon Jovi came to play the Bowl). You could feel it everywhere and for that day, it was the coolest place on Earth. It was Michael who ultimately led me to Eddie Van Halen, Steve Lukather and Steve Stevens and ultimately heavy metal and hard rock music and guitars.
