I know I haven't been around in a long time - been very very busy with work and kids.....but I finally got some time to record something new. This is GNR's version of Knocking on Heaven's Door to a backing track. I added all the guitars.
This is all done using my good ole GT-6 straight into the sound card.
I've been jamming with some new guys that want to play classic rock - and we're thinking about doing this one.
Let me know what you think - critique away...what's good and what sux....
Thanks!
Its a great thing when you realize you still have the ability to surprise yourself.
That was outstanding
Loved it ..
I'll have a few beers tonite and sing along with you
I always sound better singing after a few ales
Well done

Here is to you as good as you are
And here is to me as bad as I am
As good as you are and as bad as I am
I'm as good as you are as bad as I am
the verse parts sound great...Once the distortion kicks in though, it sounds very clipped/muddled.
The solos sound great, love that stuff - this is one of my favs. Slash is incredible. Some of the bends sound a little off though (second solo)
Nice over all, should sound great with the band.
Thanks TASO - I redid the 2nd solo and re-uploaded.......it did sound like #*(&$^#@)^$)@#!^$@^$&^#$&$

Pretty cool. I like G'n'R, but I'm not a big fan of their version of this - for me, Dylan's version is sacrosanct. You've not quite got the distinctive Slash tone, but you're not more than a hair off. Nice job!
:D :D :D

Much better! Sounds great. Man, that is an awesome solo - Slash is one of the reasons I started playing guitar.
Well done.
Really nicely done! I love the GNR version of the song, and it's one of my favorite solos of all-time, especially the first part. It's simple, melodic and powerful, something Slash does great, and you played it well.
The tone on the lead guitar could be punchier, in my opinion--I'm not sure how to describe it but it seems a bit fat and fuzzy, it doesn't cut through and jump out quite as much as the original.
But altogether a great track and I'm sure it'll be excellent live!

Your playing sounds great! But, I must say, your distortion tone sounds a bit grating... almost like it's too trebley... but then again, I'm no tone expert... just my opinion.
I think it's really nice. Certainly evokes the right kind of mood.
However I agree with the above comments in that:
The distortion really doesn't sound right. Maybe go for more overdrive, less raw distortion.
The solos are right note for note, but mayeb you were nervous when recording because a couple of times a tiny bit more sustain was needed.
The rhythm and runs were tight as though!

PS. Couldn't help but listen to Suck My Kiss too. We do it as a band and have always had problems with making it "tight". I have to say. That was incredibly tight! Sahme there's no solo though :( . I wanted more! :twisted: :D

Thanks for the feedback......I am on a tone quest now!
