OK! Here is my recording. It’s not a polished as @dlamson13 but I’ll keep at it and I really do love playing this song.

I have a version I like where the slide down at 2:36 i do a quick double slide and I love how it fits in. I have another recording with that I may put up as a variation.

Let me know what you think.

Great job on a fun song @groaner! Sounded pretty polished to me :). Tone worked really well too – crystal clear in the high parts and a nice growl in the low parts. Most importantly, you’re flying all over the fretboard like a rock star.

Nice, I like when people make covers their own like that.

Great job man! You fit in the mix well and I enjoyed the slide action. I heard a small blip in the start of the song but a great recovery!

It felt like a big step up when I did it @Johnnyb but it’s totally achievable with some hours.

Ya this one took me a lot of going back too for sure.
It will come in time. Work chunks of it and go back often and it will all of a sudden click.

I always overlooked this song on the album cause its sandwiched between a couple other good songs, I can only image how many other fun songs have suffered the same fate :frowning:

anyway… Here is my cover, there is a couple spots where the chugging gets spotty toward the end, but I’m happy enough to move on to the next song, and I will definitely keep playing this one randomly cause its a fun one!

Thanks!

I can assure you this is after many, many takes and it certainly felt like I was pushing the limits of what I can do at the moment, but I’m glad it appeared otherwise, lol.
