They had a string of killer albums. Empire, Rage For Order and Operation Mindcrime are phenomenal!

Well folks, this is super embarrassing. Been working on this for 2 straight weeks. After spending about 4 hours tonight recording in reaper, processing, then recording and synching a video and uploading to youtube, I realize that I am playing the main riff wrong by adding in an extra 16th note…FUUUUUUG. Well, I am not a professional and its bedtime so this is what you get.
On another note, this song was one of the most difficult for me to find a correct transcription because the band recorded this about 4 different times at different lengths and I think they did the thing with the old masters where they sped it up, which slightly pitch shifted it…anyways, the different tabs and notations have things that are a half-step off each other. I picked and chose what I thought sounded best given the key its in.
Without further ado, I give you my version of The Specials: Ghost Town. Hopefully it doesn’t suck too much. Sorry for the camera, that sucks as well. Actually, probably best if you don’t watch it. I should just give up.

8th bar of main rif on c-g is supossed to be an eighth on C and 6 16th notes on G…I erroneously play it as s 16th on C and then 7 16ths on G.

I think you are being very hard on yourself. Clearly, there is a school of thought that goes along the line of ‘I have to create an absolute facsimile of the original…’ An alternative is that we create a version of the baseline that works with the song and sounds great. I’d suggest that no one in an audience - virtual or live - would be sitting there thinking, “ah, the 8th bar of main riff on c-g is supposed to be…”
We can be our own worst critics! Your playing was great!

So not technically a “cover” perse … but I wanted to test OBS, and my audio interface to see if its working…
This is me doing a learning session to another YouTube vid (you hear him at the beginning of the vid)
I do have a Bassless track of this… I will prolly do a proper cover when I think I am good to go.
A couple flubs… but it’s a fun tune
