    Damn dude. You really kicked some serious ass on this. That’s exactly how I do covers of very challenging bass parts. Note for note or I won’t play it. Kudos dude. You play a good sax. Damn if Foreigner ever needs a sax player, they have one right here.

    The solo is so exact that I kept waiting for just one tiny, tiny, tiny clue that it wasn't taken right from the studio recording. Amazing cover!!!

  • @thatdudeguy01
    @thatdudeguy01 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Most Excellent! Well Done! Jr. Walker represents the oldest vinyl in my collection. For years I heard Urgent and really dug it, having no idea that that was Jr’s spontaneous solo. They fetched the man into the recording booth from down the street and, in minutes, he created magic.

    That was absolutely awesome my friend. You nailed that extremely difficult solo from Jr Walker with these insane and brutal jumps to extreme altissimos. Loved it. Few sax players can play this.

    Man.... I sure wish that I had kept playing after I got out of high school. I was first chair Alto Sax for three years.
    I've never been a diehard fan of Foreigner but this song has always been one of all time favorites out of all the music that I've ever listened to... Because of that awesome solo...
    You do it great and thanks for posting it.
