Suzanne Vega - Luka (Leppardized Guitar Cover)

  • I heard this song randomly on the radio yesterday and it really motivated me to play when I was a bit unsure on what I was wanting to cover next. It's such a beautiful song but it's also got some great production and guitar parts too (thanks to Suzanne, Marc Shulman and Jon Gordon). If it wasn't released in '87 then it maybe wouldn't hook me as much but I'm glad it was, although I'm sure it would've been a hit whenever. I didn't add too much new guitar parts and decided to just mimic the solos but they have a certain Steve approach anyway, especially with how he did the Don't Shoot Shotgun solo. I had a lot of fun playing along and I hope you enjoy!
    'Leppardized' is my way of adding interesting guitar parts to a song that has little to no guitar in it, in an attempt to make it more like the Hysteria era of Def Leppard. Although really it is just an excuse for me to play over pop. :)

    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 the cable stays out the way.
    I have a Patreon where I upload my notation notes for all my new covers and I am going through my old ones too. But I also provide custom notation and video lessons content there or at my bwmguitarlessons@gmail.com address. Please get in touch if you want help playing the music you love. / bwm5150

    This is great! I do this to country songs. An 80's rocker, I turn on variable radio stations and try to figure them out before the song ends. Usually I can get it. A great exercise.

      You too huh? Great way to practice. I'll pull into a super market parking lot , hear a radio song I like, grab my guitar, ,plug it into a blackstar fly and jam over it. Then go up or down the f.m. presets. Or plug the phone into the line in.

    @THE_Michael_Westen 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Gee, that's brilliant. Just bringing the guitar parts up a notch add so much to this already great song. And it's true again that less is often more.

This song has been one of my guilty pleasuers for about the last 30 years, i'm a rock guy, This is my first ever song that I figured out the chord sequence in my head before i ever played it. Simple I know, but it was the first for me...... top work as always, great interpretation.....love your work, keep going, more content please.....

    This I was not expecting, but after listening, I'm not surprised you've chosen it. You may like a Scottish Australian singer songwriter Colin Hay. When he was with Men at Work, their guitarist Ron Strykert wrote some wonderful melodic parts. Keep up the insane level of playing. Cheers.

    Holy Cow. Dude.... you can ROCK anything. I remember listening to this one back in the 80's. Not my thing, but it was on a lot - and pretty sure it was big on MTV at the time. So have heard it a lot. But I never thought in August of 2021 I'd be sitting in my study watching something called TH-cam on a computer.... and watching a Cat like you rock this out, and Leppardize it. Cool.

    I feel like a song that would really rock with a Leppardised cover is Electric Blue by Icehouse. May not be popular enough outside Australia to justify but I reckon it would be right up your alley Ben.

    • @bwm5150

    You amaze me how similar your music taste is to mine. I'd sometimes say to myself, this is a cool late 80s/early 90s song, I'd do a guitar cover and then I look up and you already did that better than I'd ever do.
