Hey Peter.....no Eeeek dude....SLEeeek man!
In the first few seconds I started to wonder how you were going to pull off the little whammy bar end like off the original.....nice touch!
Submit for sure, would be shocked if it didn't go, but you never know? Only the screener and your hairdresser knows...and something tells me you have not spoken to your hairdresser in a bit :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
I started to work something up for this, same song to. I transposed the song over from guitar (which I already know of course) to mandolin, and it sounded pretty cool, but knew I would never be able to work up the rest of the instruments in time :cry:

Really good stuff Peter!!
Cheers,
Steve

Hey Steve!!! :D

I'm peeing my pants right now!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: (Something tells me I don't talk to my hairdresser anymore ...) Man!!!! :lol: :lol:

Thanks for listening and the cool comments!! You think a Les Paul is heavy?? You should try finger tapping a damn piano solo while around your shoulder. Wait ... That's not how you're supposed to play it?? :? :D

Mando would have been cool to hear too :(

Thanks again for checking it out!!

Great work again!

Yes, really good job on this. As I mentioned over on Soundcloud I was wondering how it would all work once it started, but it did, does. Do submit it and good luck.

I know what you mean about getting a new version stuck in your head. In fact, I think I need to cleanse the pallet, as we speak!
