Tom Petty - Love Is A Long Road (cover)

A classic cut off of 1989’s Full Moon Fever that’s getting a lot of play lately due to its use in the Grand Theft Auto VI trailer. The main solo is mostly note for note but I just did my own thing for the outro solo, hope you enjoy!
Equipment used:
1994 MIA Fender Stratocaster Plus
Line6 HX Stomp XL

criminally underrated, best cover I have seen for Love is a Long Road

[@ReidsGuitar]

Thank you! 🙏

Great cover of a very underrated Tom Petty song. I recently learned to play the rhythm part of this song, it's a fun song to play, with some great riffs. Nice Fender Strat you have there, you play it well.

[@ReidsGuitar]

Underrated for sure, it’s a fun riff and a lot of the Heartbreakers stuff is great to jam to. Thank you man! The Strat is the newest to the collection, plays really well and sounds great. Cheers.

[@brunosouza8802]

Awesome cover man, also it really have helped me to figure out how to play the solo in a better way, thanks a lot!!!!! Cheers from Brazil! 🇧🇷

[@ReidsGuitar]

Awesome man! I’m glad it helped 🙂 Thanks for watching.

Top!!!! Very Good...

[@polevoltaire]

The playing was wonderful of course, but I love your guitar. Perfect plastic / pickguard / body colour combo!

[@ReidsGuitar]

Thanks a lot! I love the combo on this guitar as well, it’s a great aesthetic. Thanks for watching 🍻

[@mdaronch]

Very nice cover and guitar. Thanks for share.

[@s2seltaeb]

Very nicely done. Solo section was great, and you got the longer 'G' in the second part of the chorus right, too. 😎

Hahah thanks man🫡 thanks for watching!

@@ReidsGuitar I love Tom Petty I cried for days when he passed.

[@ReidsGuitar]

@ratter531 I was fortunate enough to see him live in 2017, just three months before he died. They put on a great show. I was shocked that he passed so quickly afterwards, but was super grateful I got a chance to see him.

[@MrTxemaserrano]

Hi! I think that i have the same guitar than you. Can you tell me something about it? Mine is from 91, but i don't have de name model or other info. If you can help me, please, i will greet you. Thanks in advanced

[@ReidsGuitar]

Hey it’s a ‘94 USA Strat Plus that’s had a lot of modifications. Vineham Dipper pickups, covers and knobs were replaced with vintage cream Fender parts, and the pickguard was replaced as well. ‘04 USA body. A mutt that plays like a dream 🙂

[@MrTxemaserrano]

@@ReidsGuitar thanks!!!

[@fongkhachtv10]

Nice man. what amp you using?

[@ReidsGuitar]

Thanks man! I’m plugged straight into an HX Stomp XL. For this patch I used the Ventoux amp with dual 2x12 cabs panned hard left and right. I did some light gain stacking with a Prince of Tone and Timmy and added a tape delay and plate reverb. Hope this helps!

I’m sorry but what is fake about this?

@@ReidsGuitar bruh, it's just the song. This ain't no damn cover

[@ReidsGuitar]

@jirenowarida818 I couldn’t find a backing track so I played to the original track. I also improv’d an entire section at the end, maybe you didn’t make it that far. Cheers.
