A full cover of The Road To Hell, by Chris Rea. This is the rockier 2000s live version which can be found in the 2006 live double album "The Road To Hell & Back". The original, cleaner studio version is in the 1989 album "The Road To Hell". Sorry for the somewhat crappy sound as Im still learning to tame digital recording secrets :-). No tabs but Id give some reasonable playing tips upon request as long as my limited musical knowledge allows it. GEAR: GUITARS: Italia Maranello Classic Blue Sparkle! (open E tuning). Squier Strat Affinity – Metallic Red Rosewood (standard tuning in additional rhythm sections) KEYBOARD: Behringer U-Control UMX490 MIDI controller.

    Do you mean Fenderado?? 😉 Yes, no problem. Just tell me some way of uploading the file. The track is not a big deal anyway… just a couple of synth and piano lines with some Hydrogen-made drums.

    I totally agree 🙂 but see it this way: I’m not a musician. Crappy singing, keyboarding and drumming are just a mean of marking the song’s guitar parts, they’re not intended to be a masterpiece on their own.

    Anyway, people spend a lot of money attending to Knopfler/Dylan concerts when their vocals are positively worse than mine 😛 while my videos are for free (no ads I hope).

    Not a fat enough sound, just learning slide man, keep it up, sounds OK:)

    I really don’t think so. The "squashed" sound in this video is due mainly to the soft post-amp eq but you may achieve pretty much the same using hardware. I just tweak around until I find the sound I like which may not be exactly the same as the original.

    Love you playing man! I’m curious if the guitar + pedals and amp would sound much different without the software ? Cheers!
