        Hi all,

        I’ve wanted to do one of theirs for ages so I thought it’s about time I got around to it.

        The main riff is played with a slide but I couldn’t get anywhere close to it so I triple layered it with an octave pedal and some chorus to try and recreate the slide feel – and also try to hide my limitations!

        Anyway, it’s a banging tune and hopefully you’ll enjoy my performance of it.

        Thanks for watching.

        Liam.

          I was not familiar with this song (or the band) but I like it. You play this quite well. Upstrokes on the rhythm work well for this tune. Nice tone. The octave pedal and chorus fit perfectly. Impressive audio and video work too. Well done, Liam. Is that a Gibson SG?

              Thanks David.

              Yes it’s a Gibson SG Special with P90 pups

                Excellent playing Liam although I never heard of the song or the band before. I really liked the song and the video too.

                      I don’t know the band but you chose a great tune.
                      Very well played.
                      The octave and chorus worked well for the slide.

                        As with the others, I do not know this band or the song. As always, I thoroughly enjoy listening to you and your presentations Liam. 😎 🎶.

                          I’m also not familiar with this band, but liked very much the song and your rendition, Liam! You has reached a pro level in playing those multiple parts and in mixing them brilliantly in the final product: it sounds really like the real thing!

                            Liam,
                            I really enjoy the steady diet of rock and roll you cover. Not only do you have good taste but you collaborate it so well with different guitars, rhythm, lead etc. etc. When are you breaking out the drums? Can’t wait for that! Great submission.

                              Precision strumming, Liam. Your tones of late are awesome. Well done.
