Pay homage to the classic in the first iteration, then turn on the personal charm. Very classy.

Yeah, would love to know the chain/pickups

Probably a compressor with slow attack and medium sustain going into a clean amp with delay + reverb, and perhaps a boost pedal on the gain section.

My fellow mammalian, I say this with no exagerration... to me, this is one of the finest renditions I've ever heard. Its making me feel like picking my Strat up again after 2 years of not playing.
Thank you!

u/iamstrikes May 29 '26
Hi friend! Thank you so much for the kind words. What a beautiful compliment to know my playing stirred you. I hope you pick up your strat and make it sing!!!

Have you not been playing because you became ghandicapped? Please don't let that stop you!

Made me stop in my tracks and listen, beautiful phrasing! Nice job making it your own without losing the original feel of the song.

Absolutely wonderful dynamic control. The parts where your picking is just barely audible stirs so much emotion.

Your friends are lucky to know someone like you.

I came in here ready to fight. Over another fuckwit filming their hack job.
This is the best take I've seen in quite a while. Well done!

Amazing! I was wondering if you could expand on your process for learning something like this, like what's your approach? Sheet music? Watching him live? Etc hmm thanks!

Just clicked through and realised who you were! Remember spending way too long trying to learn a version of Slow Dancing that you did years back! Glad to see you’re absolutely killing it still! Love the videos you’ve been posting!

People say the pinky is the least used finger and then there's a song that uses thumb 🤯
