Great job technically! @RuknRole.
Did you use the original track, sounds off key a bit vs. the fixed track.

Yes, I used the original track. I had already recorded the song when the conversation started so I left it as is.

Thanks! I did hear it while I was recording but I told myself: Who am I to say AC/DC is off key! Lol

Couldn’t you put in the correct track, and re export the file with the right song in the background. Shouldn’t be too much work. Just a thought tho, I like it just fine how it is. Guess my ears are not that advanced yet. If ever :wink:

Almost ready to record this. Had a rough time after the vaccine last week, but glad I got it. :slight_smile:

BTW, here is a good video if you just want to practice playing along to it. Tab is 95% the same as Josh’s. This is not me playing. :stuck_out_tongue:

I have been cursing this song for a while and tonight it finally came together.
Also been cursing that I committed to standing for this one to @PamPurrs, but in the end it was good to get out of the chair. First time standing. I know it shouldn’t be a big deal, but it was. I think it will be easier now that I have done it once.

Figured the Bello bass was appropriate for this song.

I used an SVT sim on the Studio 40 and 100% P pickup with the tone rolled down.

@John_E that was friggin’ awesome! Your timing and tone were right on throughout the song. Also, I love the tone of that ESP. I can’t wait to get mine.
Did you put flats on it or are you playing the strings that came with it?

Thank you @PamPurrs!
I took the strings it came with off and put on a set of MJC Ironworks rounds that I had.
I have them on my other ESP LTD active P/J and liked them.
They feel good but might try out the LaBella RX Stainless rounds (which I have on my Yammy 5er and really like as well).
