Star Sign - Teenage Fanclub (Guitar Cover)

[@crazycatman5928]

Absolutely love this song and album. In 92 I bought the cassette. Turn this girl I had a crush on to Teenage Fan club and she liked them. Haven’t seen her in 30 years. Melody wherever you are, if you didn’t know then and by chance read this….now you do. I hope life has treated you well.

One of my all time favorite songs by one of my all time favorite bands. Saw them again last week, Norman traded picks with me at the end of the show!

[@boblittle7607]

This forever. That you for this !!!!

[@TheToddcole]

Bandwagonesque was one of my favorite albums of the 90s. I saw the video for "The Concept" on 120 minutes or somewhere, and got the album on a whim... Really glad I did. Your cover is perfect, and I really appreciate the memories!

[@SparkyGuitar]

Cheers Todd - it's a timeless album... absolutely classic songs

[@boblittle7607]

That was so freaking awesome. Great jobs. And man I love this band so much. They should’ve been 100 times more famous.

[@boblittle7607]

This is epic! Thank you one of my favorite bands!!!!

[@cleaningmyroom1000]

that lead part is genius

[@ChrisJohnsonChannel]

My fav Fanclub song so jangley and upbeat and the bass sounds awsome, Incredible guitar cover guys if I had a band I’d definitely cover this one

[@SparkyGuitar]

Cheers Chris... it's a great tune! Note - it's just one guy - not 2... wearing the same t-shirt ;-)

[@ChrisJohnsonChannel]

@@SparkyGuitar yea realized it’s one guy after a bit 😂

One of their very best, lovely job

Nailed it, great cover.

Absolutely One of my all favorite tracks by The fannies! Brilliant choice of song. I’ve been playing this tune a while now and you just thought me something new about this tune ! Very greatly appreciated, Thank you very much :)

[@SparkyGuitar]

Cheers Chonky! I have to say... working out what Raymond plays made this one of the hardest songs I've done... I don't think I'm 100% right with what he plays but I'm close. He also plays differently on the record to live which doesn't help! I watched a lot of live videos but as he's the other end of the stage from the singer the cameras generally ignore him. Glad you like it!

[@aligoo112]

@@SparkyGuitar Excellent 🎸 I'd say it was a tricky one to figure out ! As you explained going through all those live videos working it out REALLY fair play!! THANKS AGAIN 😊....P.S...MIGHT HAVE FEW REQUESTS AS WELL IN THE PIPELINE : ) .I'LL BE BACK. CHEERS

[@curly_wyn]

Amazing song! Bandwagonesque really was Big Star 4th!

[@SparkyGuitar]

You know what... I need to go back and listen to Big Star. I have no idea why I haven't ever spent any time listening to them. Thanks for the nudge!

[@fachrulrazi5159]

DONT LOOK BACK! DONT LOOK BACK! DONT LOOK BACK!

[@littlepequeno1875]

Excelent!

[@haukurastvaldsson136]

Thank you so much for all those amazing videos! Question: What’s the thinking behind recalibrating your tuner to 450 and how did you figure that out? Do you think that’s what they did for the recording?

[@SparkyGuitar]

Cheers Haukur!! Quite often you play along and it's just out of tune - especially for songs that were recorded before digital recording. Bands would often speed the tape up or slow it down to either make it sound right (make it more relaxed or more aggressive)... or to make it easier for the singer to hit a note. So recalibrating your tuner just compensates for that change in tempo that the band made after they'd recorded the instruments. For small adjustments it can be because the tuner the band used wasn't calibrated. Hope that helps!

If you were to do a video breaking down the lead sections of this, i would love you forever.
