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

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.

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.

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.
