Hi folks,
I’ve just recorded a short version of this Simple Minds’ song, which is in Justin’s Begineer Songbook.
When I was half way through the recording I thought it’d be cool to keep it brief, so here it is
Hope you enjoy it or at least your ears can tolerate it 
Cheers!
Truly enjoying this production.
Excellent instrumentation.
Very nice.
Hi José,
That sounded great and by replacing the vocals like this, the duration of the song was also very good 
Greetings,Rogier
Great 
Sounds realy good Bravo José
Jose, Great little recording and version of the song. Did you play a keyboard into your DAW for the vocal line and electric guitar for the rhythm? I am curious since I am still new to this and haven’t even fully set up my DAW yet.
Exactly Steve, both the keyboard and the guitar into Cakewalk via audio interface. And the drums programmed with Cakewalk. 
Thank you very much for your support @Andy3874 , @ReneAsologuitar , @tony , @roger_holland , @BigLuc and @SteveL_G99
You all are awesome 
Nice one José, that had a really 80’s synth vibe to it. So a good take on the original.
Sounded good Jose and a nice production. If you want to make it more guitar driven try adding an overdrive or distortion pedal for the intro,verses and chorus, then turn it off for the bridge and add a chorus pedal. Provides a nice contrast on the guitar.
I’m not sure the intro is covered in Justins song book but it’s pretty simple. Use a single strum per bar and play 5th string D power chord, then 5th string E power chord, then 5th string D to 6th string G Power Chord, 5th string C powerchord then 5th string D power chord, 5th string D power chord to 5th string E powerchord. Then repeat (you don’t need the final D and E powerchord)…then you can go into the normal chords.
Thanks SgtColon
