[@hgostos]

Thank you for a fantastic video. You mention many guitars in the description box. Did you record the tracks with different guitars and amps and the video separately? Thanks

[@GuillaumeVrac]

The main track was recorded with a Japanese Stratocaster, a Boss SD1, à Marshall JTM45 and a Greenback speaker. The rest of the guitars mentioned in the description helped to approach the tone of each genre

[@hgostos]

@@GuillaumeVrac Thanks. So the Strat is "on" all the time and some other guitar tracks with other guitars and amps were overdubbed in places. Am I right?

Like said to another comment. Obviously I know how to play TNT the right way, but in this video I’ve tried to play the riffs the easiest way so the very beginners can start the guitar with no difficulty. Also, Highway to hell and Seven Nation Army are not played like the original too so it’s even more easy. Thank for the positive appreciation though
