Tom Petty – something different

[Liam Innes]

Hi folks,

I had a go at this a few years ago and ended up abandoning it because it was too difficult so I’ve had another pop at it with a lot more practice and (hopefully) skill under my fingers.

I was using just bass and vocals to practice and liked the way it sounded on its own so I left it as it was. I suppose that’s the bit that’s different.

The outro solo was based around my own ideas and a couple of licks from the band.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it.

Thanks for listening.

Liam.

Bro
You crushed it!! Wow, the ending just blew me away. But before that happened let me commend you on your guitar work, tone and proficiency. No two live versions of this will ever sound the same so I am glad you ‘filled in’ in your own way and made it your own in a sense. Great stuff. I’m jammin’ this with my morning coffee in the sun on a very cool November morning.

That’s a good feeling to be able to do something that you couldn’t quite get before. You did an excellent working out all the parts and laying down that nice Am lead at the end with the progressive bends.

Root note patterns >>> CAGED shapes >>> TRIAD'S. Just put in the work and watch your guitar skills soar.

I’m embarrassed to say I didn’t know this song, Liam, because it’s a great, catchy song!

Very well played with your guitars, and the final solo is awesome. I will listen for sure to the original, but loved your version!

You did an awesome job playing and tone and outro and everything. One of my favorite TP songs. I did a cover of this a long time ago but nowhere near as good as this. You rock Liam!

Great rockin’ guitars.
Well done.
You made me think back when we did this song with my friend DaveK, if you remember him.

Great work Liam! You played Tom and Mike’s parts beautifully. Did you ever listen to the Buried Treasure show?

Fantastic guitar playing Liam!!!!!!You must be soooo proud of yourself 🥰🥰🥰The tone is perfect and you combined these 2 guitars flawlessly!!!Your improvising makes it even more admirable 🥰🥰🥰

[Tremelow]

You hit it out of the park Liam. Those backing tracks are a great way of preparing for gigs wit a cover band, I suppose.

[Geoff]

Wow Liam, this very moody and melodic.

Really enjoyed listening to your great playing of this 👌
