A Guitar And Gear Support Forum

This has just kind of been in my head the last few weeks. So I thought I'd jam on it. This was the only take so I miss words, and fuck up here and there...solo is improv...just out here having fun!



Gear:
'84 Japanese Strat
Amplitube 4
Reaper
SM57

Backing track from YouTube.

Nice work. Loved the tones and thank you for not playing the solo note-for-note. People seem to disagree with me but, well... I've heard it. I'd rather listen to an interpretation than a hacked effort.

I appreciate it! When I play live, I try to play the solos a bit more in line with the originals, especially if it's really iconic, but when I'm at home and jamming on my own I like to improvise. I think it's more fun that way.

Love that riff, great tones to boot.

Nice. I missed this. More and more im getting the impression That is a deceptively tough song to sing

Great tone out of your rig and well played.

Good job man!!

Good job, played that song many times but never tried vocals. Were you in Drop D tuning?

This song is very hard to sing and play at the same time for me.... good job on this. Sometimes you just gotta exorcise the demons to get a song out of your head.

Sorry I missed all of your guys comments! Will try to reply to them all now!

Thanks! I'm not a strong singer anyway, but yeah definitely much more difficult than I expected. The delivery is much more nuanced than I am capable of.

Thanks! Used a slightly tweaked preset in amplitube 4.

It's much trickier to sing than you would think! I'm playing standard tuning.

Absolutely! I struggled with it for sure. It had been stuck in my head for about two weeks and I just decided I needed to sit down and learn it well enough that I could run through it a few times and get it out of my brain.
