Sunshine of your love cover attempt

A few days into learning this.

Pretty disappointed with the tone as it sounded good in the room but I think the katana has a preset on the line out function I need to change.

Apologies for the solo as it was improvised roughly from what I could remember.

Seems I need to work on my vibrato during the riff, getting back to the power chord shape from a good proper vibrato always seems too soon. Plenty work to do but I’ll take it!

Hi Neil!

Lots to like here! You played well, stayed in the groove & I didn’t find anything wrong with your tone, the production was good as well… sounded pretty good!

Only “criticism” is that to my ears, the solo competed with guitar 1 instead of complementing… may just be my personal preference here…

Overall though, nice job & if you can work on your solo a bit, this one’s a “keeper”!!!

Thanks for feedback @CATMAN62 I agree about the solo. Going to have another Crack at it!

By the way, which Katana are you using? Also, what difference do you notice between “room” sound & recording sound?

Love it, makes me want to take another shot at learning it for sure :slight_smile:

@CATMAN62 I have a gen 3 50w. I mean I’m recording into the daw directly using an interface and it simulates a mic recording apparently. Tonnes of stuff to fiddle with in the settings but it sounded a bit cleaner to my ear through the amp. I think I also mis aligned the solo and rhythm section in the daw so it’s badly out of time. Going to take more than that to fix it though :joy:

Well played Neil, you sounded great through my headphones, and you had me tapping along with the beat right the way through … :clap: :+1:
I’d agree with the suggested levels tweak by @CATMAN62 ; although I’m not experienced enough to offer a qualified critique, or which knobs to twiddle … :thinking:
Honestly, that would go down a blast at a JGC Open Mic, as it is.
Super job, well done … :sunglasses:

The rhythm guitar section was very well played: accurate timing, good dynamics. The solo was a bit of an adventure: the first and most obvious glitch was the synchronicity with the rhythm track. If that timimg problem could be eliminated it would work better. Enjoyed listening to it.

Hi Neil. I thought your tones were great. Super rhythm guitar and the sync between your rhythm and lead was the only weak part. Get that sorted and you’ve got a really good version on your hands. Well done.

Hi Neil, excellent job. Love to hear it again when you sort out the timing with the solo.
