10 impossible guitar riffs II

[@hubertdrapeau]

Important!!!!!!!! I just found out at the instant by looking at the backing track name in my recording that I accidentally missclicked on the cover of Richard Mauricio to copy the link in my KZbin converter as my BACKING track of Three Bastards. I talked with Richard on phone directly and he accepted my apologies and understand what happened. His video is right at the side of the original track when I search it because I did watch it like 3 times and I, without any doubt, missclicked on it and went straight to copy the link without looking! His mastering is really amazing so I didn’t realize while recording and thought it was the official song because I scooped the mids out of the backing track to muffle the guitar like I usually do to make my guitar louder so I didn’t realize it wasn’t the official song until now. It’s not that big of a deal still because in the end, it’s still a backing track with his mids scooped so WE HEAR MY GUITAR LOUDER THAN HIS but yeah, I should have been more careful It never even passed my mind that it wasn’t the official audio! I would never do that on purpose and I feel incredibly bad. Richard wondered why I did it because he said my audio on top of his is really good (thanks btw🙏). Our records sounds different because we dont even play it the same way and he said it himself. I am really sorry, this is an accident and I will pay more attention in the future!😪 Here is Richard’s video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/boTJqWOap7Boj9U He’s astonishing, go watch him!
