Cutting Crew - (I Just) Died in Your Arms (Leppardized Guitar Cover)

This was requested quite a lot so it has jumped ahead in my list of songs to Leppardize but this one is also for my Mum as it's one of her favourites. Just a killer 80's pop song with some cool guitar in it already.

I know the song on guitar, well parts of it and you play it a hundred times better than me! It's a little tricky but to me you pretty much nailed it! Good job man I think you did great, nothing wrong with your guitar playing! Don't listen to negative comments, your much better than that 👍

[@jbartyparty7398]

Waiting almost impatiently for the bridge at 2:50 and then a stellar solo...that's a unique little sequence up at the neck of the fret board, one that you make look so easy. Interesting how this song's solo provides an opportunity to "shred" but with a different tone than usual by not coming down towards the center pickups for a typical 80's solo, like the ride out solo.

[@PIXELSURPRISE]

jbarty party my uncle rocked it (he’s the original guitarist on the track we all love)

[@zac3392]

PIXEL SURPRISE! Kevin Mac!! My favorite “unknown” guitarist.... some of us still remember! RIP

[@agdgdgwngo]

This was perfect for me man. I already love this song, you added more guitar and made it even better. Thanks man

[@f33fifofum]

Looking at so many of your videos at the moment and it's incredible how busy the 80s guitarists were with their rhythm playing and fills. Massively underestimated part of their chops

[@bwm5150]

There’s a lot of great instrumentation during this era which is why I tend to only play stuff from it. On these Leppardized covers I am also adding my own parts too.

[@georgeflowers3730]

This song has always been part of my 80s favorites. But it was until a couple of years ago that I realized the great guitar work it has. You did a great cover! There is a live version here on KZbin that shows how great the original guitarist of this band is.
