        Hi everyone,

        Starting to get right into these guys again.

        First started listening to them around 2014 when I came across the whippoorwill album.

        This one is from the like and arrow album and it’s a total banger with an awesome solo.

        Used karaoke.com again for the backing track and removed all the guitar parts and also the back vocals and filled them in myself – I think I just about got away with it!

        Please enjoy and thanks for listening.

        Liam.

          A total banger indeed Liam 😁.

          As always your guitar renditions are impeccable. I always love the tone you get on these covers.

            I’m not familiar with this song, but man, you and your left-handed twin rocked with your guitars, Liam! Spectacular performance and nice to hear you to engage in singing backing vocals too!

              Awesome timing and execution. That solo was really spicy.

              Go slow and practice correct technique, and your abilities will dramatically improve.

                  I love Blackberry Smoke and all the songs you are tackling. Well played and nice tone as usual. Great job on the solo.

                      Yeah! 🤘 I’ve had a couple of listens Liam. Awesome performance. Tight rhythmic playing and raging solo! Great to hear you do some vocals too. Big ticks all round. ✅✅✅ All the best! 😎🎸😎

                        I love Blackberry Smoke and man, did you do a great job on this one, Liam!
                        Keep them coming, it’s very motivating to watch you grow as a musician. I got to try this karaoke thing. This could be the next best thing to joining a band.
