great!!

[@Fikser11]

everyone praise your guitar skills and that rick, I'll be the dude who compliments your shirt, no homo

[@scottjpats]

Not the first - don’t know how liking a shirt indicates homosexuality though. Unless the shirt is a cisgender male and you want to f*** it id say it’s not gay.

[@TheFluffestMango]

Im not too well versed with guitars but damn that thing looks and sounds beautiful, didn't Johnny Marr use those types of guitars? and I love your playing, :>

[@Iskanderdawud]

looks like a johnny marr cosplay but with skills to back it

[@salgaf2364]

How are you able to get the tone so spot on?

[@scottjpats]

I've spent most of my adult years chasing that tone. Not sure if he recorded this song with a Ric or Tele/Fender Twin or JC120

[@salgaf2364]

@@scottjpats I will also be chasing that tone, thanks for the info :) I'll just have to hear it out

[@salgaf2364]

@@owenandrewmusic sweet thanks :)

[@jwardbass4452]

Perfect cover and nice Ric, but are your strings just rusty or do you have have special dark strings?

[@scottjpats]

probably just lighting -tho I'm notorious for not changing my strings hahahah

[@tomy.ch0y]

You look like Jhonny Marr AAAAA

[@larabanni3810]

Where can I find the backing track? Also great job dude🤘🏻

[@scottjpats]

Its just the song itself

[@rogelioybarra4068]

Great job … where did u find the tabs??? And also what’s the tunning

[@scottjpats]

no tabs - just listening i know it’s standard tuning but slightly pitched up sort of in between F# and G standard (taking the capo into consideration)

[@rogelioybarra4068]

@@scottjpats if in use the Capo wjat would be the tuning and what fret would the capo be I seen a lot on 2nd fret but what about tuning? … btw that ms awesome u figured the song out by 👂 ear

[@scottjpats]

@@rogelioybarra4068 Capo second fret standard tuning but pitched up slightly idk if this was in the recording itself or an artifact of speeding up the tape intentionally to achieve a higher pitch

[@Matt-mo6rn]

Where can i get your shirt? Lol

[@scottjpats]

I buy all of my clothes at vintage clothing stores... This specific brand is called "Goouch" They have tons of cool shirts up on eBay!
