Great stuff. Been listening to The Chameleons since their beginning but even now, as a guitarist, I'm still in awe of the big, expanded voicings they achieve between the guitars and bass. They create some stunningly emotive structures. People rant about Johnny Marr, but these guys are on a different level altogether.

I couldn't have said it better myself 👍

Ditto!!

But when you sleep…. Nice work brother

[@drjacob67]

E P I C!

[@RJasonKlein]

Great job, man. I’m a diehard fan of the band, but I don’t have Reg’s ‘Script of the Bridge’ album art tattooed on my arm - you’re absolutely dedicated, man!

[@deroplatysmusic]

Thanks! They, and specifically SOTB if I had to choose one album, really moved and inspired me for guitar and music overall.

[@HelpingHandAlias]

@@deroplatysmusic Same here. I just had contact to Dave Fielding and told him that he and Johnny Marr are the only ones that inspired me as a guitar player and he also liked my band 'Dresche'. Now I am touched by the hand of god. Great Passion Playing you Got. Stay safe. Cheers. Dirk Preßler

Good job! From an old italian fan of the Chameleons.

[@deroplatysmusic]

Thanks!

[@jmorrow51503]

FREYA IN TANGIERS We love it, brother.

[@bt7348]

Amazing job brother!!

[@deroplatysmusic]

Thanks!

[@MitchQuintana]

Really great job! You nailed it. This is my favorite Chameleons song. Is there a reason why you covered this a second time? I noticed that you covered it a while back.

[@deroplatysmusic]

Thanks! One of mine too. I was actually going to delete it momentarily. I personally feel like I did a way better job, was more confident about it and able to capture it much more accurately. I've also acquired an acoustic guitar since then and definitely think of this song first when it comes to using it. Since I got it I've been wanting to do something where I could use all three, and Intrigue was it.

What's the scale lenght of the micro frets?

[@deroplatysmusic]

Short. Between it and the jag necks being both short scale and thin (which most vintage necks are outside of Gibson), they're perfect for my hands.

[@rafaelcabralwilliams]

@@deroplatysmusic Yeah, but the measure?

[@salomp1452]

all guitars tuned to F#?

[@deroplatysmusic]

The Microfrets is, while the Jag and acoustic are capoed

[@jasonmorrow6700]

That's the best you can do with that cheap guitar????!?! P.S. We love you

[@deroplatysmusic]

😂❤

[@thedawnoftheblackhearts2745]

I think you are using to much reverb on your tone and the individual notes dont come out with crystal clear sound...nice try though and killer song..

[@deroplatysmusic]

I haven't been able to find where it is you play it on your channel, link me?

[@jasondryden6122]

He doesn’t have to play it on any channel to have a good ear!! and I agree with him, loose some of your reverb, and add a bit of delay, and if you want to be real challenging, run it through 2 amps to get a stereo effect.. Dave used pedals, it wasn’t just his guitar! He wasn’t Eddie VanHalen! Nice shirt though!!

[@renediguitarswe32]

Nice! Good skills 👌Think you’ll like my guitar videos actually!
