Truckstop Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 He seriously needs to trim his strings before I punch him in the face. God! Just trim them!!!! Nicely done though. Truckstop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
risingson Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Great guitar player, he nailed the tune. Brutal honesty though, I thought it was tame and when he got to the verse the thing totally deflated. For this kind of thing to work you've got to be able to embellish on an existing song for it to work and he didn't, not close. That was more like watching a good counterfeiter at work with some skills with a guitar, there was no music there to be spoken of as such. Better than the original? Nah!

lettsguitars Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 I do agree to some extent. It kinda trails off a bit but I must say it sounds better without Martins awful nasally droning. I just happened upon his album and thought it was quite cool and I was generally impressed with his accuracy. Every note is clear as a bell.

dave_bass5 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I didnt think that was any more exciting than the original (much less really). Elevator music for people who just need something in the background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
