Here's one for you, I was playing this video in the background and a friend of mine asked "Is that a live version of stranglehold". You pass the "is that stranglehold" test.

That drum fill as the bass joins in is one of the rockinest moments in all of rock.

Wow. Over 10k views. I surely did not expect that. Thank you very much to everyone who has liked and actually watched the vid. I didn't expect that either. I am humbled and thankful!! Cheers!!

What a TONE that is, man! Shrieks through one's body! Amazing, perfection

The Motor City Madman. Damn this brings back some memories. Uncle Ted use to come to town every year when I was a kid, and having a cousin 6 years older didn't hurt either. I got to go to concerts that otherwise I wouldn't have gotten to see. I've seen Ted in concert more than anyone else. First concert was Aerosmith (Toys in The Attic) with Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush opening. I'll never forget it. But Ted was the ultimate rocker. One of his concerts it started snowing and he said well I guess we'll have to stay in and rock all night. And we just about did. Friggin city employees got the parking lots cleared enough to get everyone out and they made us leave.

Protect this man at all costs!!!

This is the music society needs to recover from non-instrumental-music. Thanks for that awesome cover!

Uncle Ted would be proud! Damn fine job.

Awesome Cover, played to perfection AND.. What a collection of guitars!! and yes I see that Rickenbocker in the back too!! love em all.!!

Best cover of stranglehold ive ever heard uncle ted would be proud!!

John Shanley Thank You !

I find myself 52 years old and learning this solo for the first time! Thank you for the help brutha!

One of the best composed guitar songs ever! Great cover. That would take me a year or so to memorize.

I'm just now discovering this. Incredible. You're my hero. I like the look, I like guitar, I love the tune and it was killer to see the whole thing clearly and so incredibly precise. Bravo man.

That was great! I don't think I have ever heard someone play a song ' that's not there own' to a T like that. Not one cord missed. Truly Amazing.

that was beautiful. awesome sound sir

Outstanding! Lost count on how many times I've viewed this.

Very awesome cover I love seeing the instruments and the craftsmanship. Awesome job man.

Excellent technique, rhythm and execution. Fantastic.

This is next level man, must of watched it 50 times, you are the man, awesome playing , just brilliant 🎸👍🏻

this was the very first song I learned on the guitar. It took me years to master it, and I can honestly say that this was one of the best covers I have heard in 15 years of guitar playing. Props to you man!

Wow dude you play great i cant stop watching this video the its best cover of stranglehold ive heard on youtube!!

Damn good playing, my friend. My hat goes off to you.

Man Troy you act like its nothing to play that but damn you could replace almost any guitarist in Rock or metal today. I enjoyed watching it so much you are the real deal bro.

Right on, Brother!

excellent cover!!! great playing and very cool guitar!!

What a Great Catchy Riff...........

Finally an old dude that lived this sh!t! Thanks for this brother.

Awesome Cover man!!🤘🤘

That was mind-blowingly spot on! I heard it on the radio earlier and remembered seeing him live in Raleigh NC back in 2000, all I could think was "I need to learn more Ted". "Cat Scratch Fever" was a decent starter for me, "Stranglehold" looks like a great target for me. Although, I may switch back and forth between lead and rhythm riffs, I've never seen a pinky move so fast so much 😆 Truly great and inspiring!

Top 3 things I’m jealous of: 1) That SICK double neck 2) How precise your reverse bends & double stop bends are 3) It looks like you’re not even trying. Totally relaxed I can only imagine how much better you’ve gotten over the last 8 years, rock on bro 🤘🏼
