Here is my little attempt for this song :



Lots of fun to play this (especially with the ghost notes), much less to video edit the thing (new OS, new workflow …)

It’s crazy that I started practicing this almost 2 years ago and kinda gave up. Need to get back on it and playing in general. Hope you post something soon-ish.

I’m not really doing the 50 Song Challenge, but I was looking for a song and “My Girl” was always one of my favorites.

Jesus @JerryP, you should have been an recording engineer. You more than nailed the tone here. It’s your superpower!

well played as always

Thank you John! Your comments are always very much appreciated.

If I could go back in time I would do that!

Me too!

Here is my recording.
I am still quite camera shy and make way more mistakes when the camera is rolling. So, a few missed notes and inconsistent note length, but I still like how it sounds.

I also really liked my tone for a change!
I do have flats on which have not been changed in a few years, and I have not cleaned the fretboard in a long time, so I guess the gunk does keep the funk?!?
:joy:

I also played it only on the E and A strings (other than the intro), I don’t like how thin my D and G strings sound for this song.

It is just the P pickup, tone all the way down, and an EQ pedal (bass boosted a touch and treb down a touch).

All in all I really enjoyed this one. I obviously liked the ending, so I played an extra round of it!

great!!!
nice tone and perfect timing and playing.
Bass a tad high in mix, if you care, but sounds great!!!

Thank you.

I do like the bass high in the mix, as it is a bass challenge after all. Maybe later I’ll try to work on better mixing, as in closer to the original, but I am still way from it in my mastering of the software.

No doubt that this challenge pushed me way ahead in this regard already!
