Still Got the Blues

Haven't recorded anything for awhile so as I was practicing this for our gig on Sat, I thought I'd mix it down. Vocals are a bit strained as its on the upper limit of my range but I don't think its too bad, should be right for Saturday night hopefully!

Or everyone is so amazed by the track that they are unable to type

Just had a listen and that guitar tone is flippin' amazing mate. Very nice cover of the tune, certainly much better than the version I played at the jam in Wellington. But I doubt you made better Gary Moore faces than I did while playing it

Pod XT but I used way too much distortion I think, it sounds better through my Crate/quad

oh and I used the Ibanez and the pups are hotter than anything else I have which I think took it over the edge

Awesome playing and singing man. I love playing that song. It's impossible to play without the facials and guitar hoisted a-la slash, though.

I'm still honored and humbled to have played with you Bg. Seriously. Those first notes, I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing and I thought it was Gary, only thing different was the midi drums.

Seriously awesome player dude. Rock the fuck on!

Still got the Blues, live 'n loud, starring BG on guitar, vocals and facials, this Saturday in Greenhithe.

I don't think my 'facials' could ever get to this level, but I keep practicing, I don't let it dishearten me too much
