The guitar melody in this song is out of this world. Perfectly played as always, it sounds just like the original in all its glory.

[@welldonep]

Thanks for the kind remark! Yeah, it is indeed quite incredible what he/they were able to get across in such a short amount of time ... this one coming at 2:48. Amazing!

[@tubebrt]

Amazing as always Peter. Nice dance moves Gert 🕺

[@welldonep]

Thanks much. You can’t stop Gert from the boogie! 🤓

[@tubebrt]

Yep 😅

I must say, you are the best guitarist I've heard cover songs on youtube. You are truly a talent. Keep it up! Great vocals as well.

Really good job Peter and guys! Have you considered showing all 3 guitars and vocal on a 4-way split screen? It would be cool seeing that. Also, why the capo on the Rickenbacker?

[@welldonep]

I do sometimes consider doing this, yes, but as it is, it's a bit guitar-heavy to me. Wally, the bass player has only been in one video, and some of this has to do with the fact that he simply recorded the bass to the audio track before I did the video. Hopefully Wally will be in more videos in the future. If I had my way, it would be vocal, guitar, bass and drums (4-way split), but so far, I have programmed all the drums and I don't think a video of me programming drums would be fun to watch (lots of hair pulling :)). I have thought about possibly doing some tutorial videos, but there's only so much time in the day (Gert and I have started working on original music) and I'm not sure how well I would do with a tutorial. But that may happen.
As for the capo on the Rickenbacker, I suppose that part particular could be played without it, but it works either way.
Thanks so much for tuning in!

[@welldonep]

Oh, the Gibson is tuned-up a whole-step, so that might explain the capo, although that particular part could be played with or without a capo, of course. :)

[@walmint]

@@welldonep I'll do it!

[@welldonep]

Yay! Let's let the Wally star shine! :) @@walmint
