- Excellent track and vocal work from, easily, the most talented member of that Kids Incorporated tv show. No, I didn't watch it as a kid and I only became aware of it in the early days of TH-cam. Anyway, I didn't Leppardize this as there's already some great guitar work from, I believe, Mark Leggett. I tried to capture that typical '80's' clean tone so I used some detune effects in Logic to help. Still not quite how I would like it but I had to compromise a little in order to have the dirty sound I for the chorus and solos. But yeah, killer track and I think Martika is the only person to make that haircut look good... :P
I use a Jackson DK2 Dinky from 2004 (I removed the tone pot and moved the volume over) into a Boss Me50 (where I get my tone) into a Palmer Pdi-09 (which simulated a mic'd up cab) into a Focusrite Scarlett into my computer running Logic Pro X (where I add a little EQ and Reverb).
F.A.Q
My headphones are purposely like that so they stay out of the way. The cable is very long.

check out vow wow, it would be really cool to see a cover of the song "rock me now"
Hey @bwm5150 my brother that was freakin' beautiful man , lol what's soooo ironic about this is I was just about to cover this today which I still am , and I came across your video here , You Totally Rock Brother , were definitely 80's kids man
This has always been one of my favourites. Martika doesn't get the respect she deserves. This is stellar songwriting.
That Bb in the chorus is everything 😍
Indeed. One note to possess so much emotion is almost criminal.
Say what you will, Keyboards, drum machines, whatever, but 80s artists were talented, even pop songs featured good guitar work and REAL SINGERS. the 80's ruled, period!
yep! often times even written by the singers themselves! BY themselves!
This atmosphere is really unique. Love this song!
True
Another pearl from '80. Great mood and performance, you're the guitarist of 80 90, thank you my friend... Please don't stop you now, never
Song is from 1988.
@@thefonzkiss he meant the 80'S (with an S) lol
wound up listening to this all day long .. what a gem. cried alot. the frailty of humanity. good things coming. love conquers all
🙏🏼
you listened to it all day and cried a lot?
@@hyenaswine I cried all day, all night...........all year long.
First time I played this song was back in 2010 on my Jackson PC1 through a Rockman. The Rockman nails this song’s tone.
Really I would love to hear you play it through the Rockman, if you can make a video of you doing it.
Well , here's a blast from the past. This song came out when I was 12. Loved it then and still do. Great tone again and again from you. It's so refreshing to listen to these older songs in a different way.
Came out in 88, i was about the same age, 14 I think. :)
The single charted in July '89 and was #1 for two weeks in front of Madonna's "Like A Prayer".
Me too, so young back then!
I always thought she was a Brit until I looked her up a while back. Being 51 this was in the wheelhouse back in the day. Nice work as usual!
Yet another guilty pleasure, totally on point, great stuff.........
Dude, are you like some secret LA session musician?? Seriously Man! Damn your Good!! You have it all!!
He definitely could have been, in the 1980s and even 90's, without a doubt. He has that level of playing.
I'm old enough to rememberwhen it originall came out and it still a cracking song today. Excellent take well done
Really good and tasteful. Playing for the song and no overplaying.
You are a Great guitar player ❤❤❤
Love your Tones 🎸🎸🎸🎸🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘🤘
You're just so good, capture the spirit of every cover you do, so amazing!
Great song choice. Never realized how much guitar is in the song. Great job
back when number one pop hits could still have heavy guitar in it. Good old days
Welcome to 80s! Where greatest and smooth music were produced.... Toy soldier by Martika was one of my meditation music when i was a child. Thanks for uploading it man.. 👌
1989 represented! Great song at the time. Not overly keen on the Silversun Pickups remake despite being a huge fan of Silversun. SO happy to see and hear your guitar work on the original!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Good song. I remember from back in the day
OMG Ben. You did it! At last. Thank you.
So beautiful makes me Wanna cry feeling my 80 s vibes ❤️🔥❤️🔥
Wow ..... Truly awesome. So great appreciate your skills and art ☺️❤️
This song has the spirit of the 80's. Martika's entire instrumental and voice are a masterpiece! Congratulations on the transcript!
I swear you cover my totally random, but awesome, playlist. When I saw this song, I was freaking out… Very cool.
I love this song!!! Great cover!!!!!
bwm5150 Thank you Ben for this phenomenal cover of the song, Great job! and thank you for taking my request to cover this heartbreaking, but hauntingly beautiful song.
"You have a beautiful soul.." 👌
Beautiful song Ben!!! congratulations
Great! I always loved the guitars on this song, your cover is perfect.
I love all the covers you play but my gosh. This one. THIS ONE! Did it for me. (I subbed) Yes I'm a female and I lost touch with my guitar. I miss those days 😪. I still have it, since I was 15. I'm now 38. Maybe I should pick it up and start over again. It feels like I'm going to relearn how to walk. 🙏🏼
Thanks! If I can make you pick it up again, then that’s great to hear. Give it go!
@@bwm5150 Everything is so new. What electronics do you use? I use to use just straight AUX cable to an Amp. There are so many options today. Wow, guitar has come a long way since I picked it up.
@@divinelotus19 my set up is in the description. It’s relatively simple and quite primitive now.
Thanks Damm Good guitarist, there are many out there but the attention to the notes played. Straight up your a DAM good MASTER GUITARIST
Very kind, thanks!
Outstanding. Few covers on this song anywhere. Truly pro work. This guys got a musical future
Perfect 80’s orchestration and guitar parts. Beautifully played
Seriously, you are so talented.
Awesome cover, I first heard this song around 2000 and couldn't believe that I never heard it sooner being released in the late 80s, I don't know where the Hell I was then but I must have been in a coma or something for around 10-12 years? I had been thinking about this song a lot a month or 2 ago checking out all the other covers but as far as I'm concerned this one is definitely the best. I like listening to the drum playing covers as well and the slowed down with reverb edit versions too and like to tweak the speed + or - even more to pick up every drum hit or guitar note just as the song verse tempo speeds up.
Great song. You cover so many cool songs no one else touches. And your tone is killer.
Bravo 👏 espetacular thank you music Martika
awesome choice and rendition, easily one of the most haunting and sweet tracks from late 80's, even for a rocker :)
What a fantastic cover! Thank you for that sir!
this is one of the most iconic masterpiece of the 80s.. u did it as always... stunning!!... you are right.. Legget did the guitar, Greg Smith on the keyboards and produced by Michael Jay, PD. you can always leppardize it...
I mention in the description that I felt it didn't need Leppardized as it has cool guitar already.
I don’t play guitar but know this song very well and that sounded ace, really classy song choice for a guitar cover, played superbly, love it!👏🎵🎶
Good stuff. Never realised how well put-together this song is.
Another epic cover...bravo
Fantastic work Ben. Beautiful to see that song writing and playing is so much about the vibe and restraint too.
Absolutely brilliant, love this song and love this video of it
Hi. Another Patreon here. I play guitar over a decade, but the last few weeks I have learned so much from you just by watching....amazing. Thx for all the afford you put into your work!
Very kind, thank you!
Love this Song! Reminds me of my youth. It was such a great Time 😌
Great tune bro, one of my favourites, you have a wonderfull musical taste! Nice playing too!
This is truly stellar!! Your tone has such a clean tone
Very good choice ;) one of my favorite.
Great song, great tune, awesome to listen to.
Your additions, simply delightful. Masterpiece.
The great ones always make it look so easy.
Forgot about this song. Watching the guitar on it brings it new life to me.
Another 80s pop masterpiece. I love the atmospheric vibe that songs like this have. Between the keyboards and the clean guitars I don’t know which one I love more. That’s more of a reason why I’m so addicted to 80s pop in general. Once again great playing as usual.
Ben great to c ya back.
Impeccable taste in music!
Great stuff. Never heard that song.
Once again blowing my brain hole!! Another good song choice ...Well Done!!
That's what a time machine sounds like.
Great tone man really
awesome as always!
Fabulous tone 👏👏
I would be very interested in a Pink Floyd cover. Harmonics and bends would be very interesting
Classical 1980's electric guitar tone. :)
Awesome bro. This surprised me. Really nice play.
Wow man you are pretty great I originally found you off of Def Leppard covers Def Leppard is one of my favorite groups from the '80s just have to say you are one talented guitarist
This is a fantastic guitar cover
Amazing... simply class.
Awesomeness.
Thanks again! Loved it!
Man your guitar sounds incredible ! Many thanks for sharing 😊

Superb clean rhythm guitar parts and lead solo you did a great job there... always enjoy your videos.. please have a look at the great 80s clean rhythm parts in 'Higher Love' (1986) by Steve winwood there cool... thanks:)
Killer tone and sentiment!
Excellent!
Really incredible playing dude. Loved it
Amazing work as always!!! Also been loving how you upload so often!
YESSSSSS!!!! I listened to this awhile ago when I want down the rabbit hole of Tom's Diner, Fast Car and others. Just a hint of Love Bites in the intro to me ...BA👍💪🍻
This sounds fantastic! Nice job
Great job 🔥👍
What a great song haven’t heard it in years!
As always, AWESOME!
Yes!!!! ✌🏻
Great guitar!
That outro though
This is a soothing and uplifting Leapardizsd guitar cover!
Thanks, although I didn’t Leppardize this one, I tried to stay true to the amazing guitar and tone that’s there.
Great men
You play so fluidly. A flowing stream of sound. Maybe you could do Key Largo or even
Escape by Rupert Holmes.
Great job man! Cheers!
Awesome!
WOW! flawless playing man! Bravo! Gained a Subscriber ;)
Everything is better with that Leppardized sound, nice one 👌
Thanks, although it wasn’t my intention to Leppardize this, but to try and cover the original parts and tone.
Never received the notification for this.🤔
Really nice cover bro. The guitar sounded really sweet. I've always had a soft spot for this song. 🤟
I had that same Jackson and I miss it
