Good stuff

I liked it.. Some people say "do you play Guitar" and there are those that Answer and are Guitar Players. IE- Its in Key of G or A or F# and they know exactly what you mean. I picked up guitar as a teen and play with it instead of playing it. Dont know anything about what key or note is being played and have no clue where or how chords are or played but can play things people will hear and name it. I have zero training or skill just an ear. I dont know how but I can find a place on the neck in two string combos using the top 2 all the way up the neck the next two all the way up the neck and the next two all the way up the neck and find cheat chords. Its not a Chord but its the same tone or position of a chord. I found this Video because IN my untrained mind I heard this tune in my head when I was picking strings and found it .. The Notes or tones of the Vocals and find each one by ear. Then I found this and of course what I play is NOTHING like this or those Complete chords and the picking of the strings is perfect and complicated as all get out. Not everyone is an accomplished player. Im 61 and say YES when asked can you play Guitar.

Great job buddy what effect is on your vocal? Sounds very 50s style

[@jonpratt7948]

Not really sure! Until he moved out of the area, my buddy Doug would let me use his studio Sunday mornings for a couple hours, once a month. I got very SPOILED. He had a digital version of a slap back I think.

[@armandovicuna6]

can you teach us how to play it like that Mr. Pratt??

[@jonpratt7948]

I'll give it a try. Check my channel next month. Thanks for the comment.

@@jonpratt7948 enjoyed the tone but the Baug chord really shouldnt be that hard to include

[@jonpratt7948]

@@chrishampton8754 For sure! Didn't realize it was part of the song. I'm sure my watered down version probably misses the mark on many scores. My ear for covers, and playing in general, is mediocre at best. I never expected this video would get so many views. Thanks for the suggestion.

Nice impassioned vocal, guitar arrangement and tone are very good, Tele is a touch out of tune, but still fine. :) Nice sounding guitar and amp. Reversing the control plate is a cool idea. Bill Kirchen has been doing that since the late 1960s. Is that a Charlie Christian neck pickup? Peace.

[@jonpratt7948]

Thanks, and I'll try to pay more attention to my tuning in the future! It's a Vintage Vibe CC pup

Sorry. This doesn't work.

[@jonpratt7948]

Fair enough. Thanks for giving it a look.

@@jonpratt7948 Your response is gentlemanly and kind. Thank you; I meant only an honest assessment, Keep trying; I would be interested in hearing you again in the future, to see if you are getting better. I think, if nothing else, some work on the acoustics would help.
