        Hi Guys,

        On the link you’ll find my Band’s cover version of “The Letter”. The recording definately leaves room for improvement, but I’d really appreciate your honest feed-back on what we’re doing.

        The Letter:

        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BIoyoXoQEA&feature=related

        Gear:

        Lead Guitar is a Strat through a Peavey Classic 30. Rythm guitar – me – is a 335 Neck PU through a Fender Super Reverb with a medium gained drive pedal assigned.

        Shoot away 🙂

        Cheers

        Jakob

            What I meant was, that I’m using a drive pedal with medium gain to get the crunch.

                I like the way you guys do that song. I too played it years ago but I think your way is cooler, especially the vocal.

                Was Am F7 D9 D7 etc chorus C G F ?

                The recording is very good for raw cut. A sound Tech is a studio could easily clean it up and balance it for you. Do not QUIT !!!
