Toby Alderweireld

I am currently learning Hotel California, which my band has decided to cover.

Bearing in mind that there are about four or five different guitar parts layered on the studio track, I am having to work out which bits to play, and which bits to leave to our keyboardist.

Obviously, I will play the epic guitar solos at the end.

Hey, Skids! Got any ideas how I should approach this?

No, thought not, you talentless twat.

 

Cheers

Have you got any youtube vids?

The chorus sounds familiar to me for love me baby, some melody influence going on there.

 

I see no reason why you shouldn't piss that, just add your own style to it.

 

We are, each of us, the sum of our influences.

There are only 5 tones used in most rock music, so everything is bound to sound similar to something else, if you look hard enough for it.

You can find the videos on YouTube, or on my band's web page.

 

It's not a gravely difficult track.

The tricky bit, for a band such as ours with only one guitarist, is working out which of the very many guitar layers to play at any point in the song.

 

Nah i mean something more specific (influence) my head will work it out eventually.

 

Would love to hear it once you sorted it.

 

Listen Les if you're going to do copies of other peoples songs at least play them in the right key and make them sound the same. Was that your partner singing on the sister morphine track? If so remove the dildo mate it'll sound better.

So why don't you play it the same as Hendrix? Well we all know why All it says on the studio information is that you live in Broadstone. Suggest you edit that mate or some nasty ****er could dox you.

 

**** off! Iv'e seen the ugly fat, bald **** with clothes on and that scared the life out of me.

 

I'm going to be perfectly honest here, not to wind HiaG up or to take your side, but i personally thought the singing was killing it (no disrespect intended) - sounded much better just HiaG playing, that's meant as a compliment.

 

This is me, our former bass player, and our drummer playing "Then Came The Last Days of May" (as an instrumental).

I'm no great vocalist - I admitted that when I first put those tracks up.

But, if I want to cover a song in my home studio, someone's got to sing it.

It's the guitar playing that I'm most interested in.

 

I play it for fun on jam nights here but i'll give you a clue Les it starts in B minor.

 

The singing is rank on all of them but have you listened to Sister Morphine yet?

 

Right! I'm off to play a gig - The Coach & Horses, in Cadnam, tonight - Hampshire bound.

Catch you lot laters...

 

Laters Taters, don't sing.

 

As i said HiaG certainly no disrespect intended, i can tell the guitar is more your interest, well done fella As for the others ignore them, when they can put up stuff showing their talent, then they can be critical

 

Yeah it was the singing on that track that i meant but the opposite of that is like giving Elvis a guitar

But full credit to HiaG for having the balls to put it up.
