        Hey Guitar Friends,
        It’s been a while since I posted anything, but now that Christmas is here, I’d like to contribute. I’ve chosen a Slade song released in December 1973. I’m using a backing track and playing the guitar part myself.

              Well done, Carpa. I was vaguely familiar with the band but not the song although I enjoyed it quite a bit. Happy Holidays to you!

                  Tight rhythmic work Carpa and great overdriven sound dialled in. Merry Christmas to you and all the best for 2026! 🎅🎸🎅

                      Ah yes! A classic! A blast from the glamrock past (and very Christmas since 🤣)
                      Terrific rhythm playing Carpa you slayed it, right in the pocket.
                      Merry Christmas to you and all too 🎄🎅

                        Yes, love the genre… fantastic rhythmic vibe Carpa. Great crunch tone as well.

                          That is really very nicely done 👍.

                          Perfect tone on that beautiful Les Paul of yours.

                              Great rhythm guitar part for this song (not familiar with but a very nice one)! Great gritty tone. Merry Christmas!
