Thanks! Yeah, I love guitars! :D

We rushed the tempo and solo guitar can be louder... still nice expirience though.

Foma that was seriously GREAT cover! :thumbsup If it's you singing, you have a very fine voice (if it's your friend then he does). Tell me, was it difficult to hit the right notes?

Wow, great to see reaction like that, thanks, Al! More covers coming...

Yes, it was me. Well, I don't think about the right notes at all, I just trying to copy Mark as close as possible with my average voice. I started to sing from this autumn with only one thought in my mind

Great ! :thumbsup :clap
Is it a sig strat ? Very nice tone

Who do you have a headphones and the other guitarist not ?
Do you have the "final" mix in your ears ?

I expected the 2nd "Paraguayyyyyy"after the last chorus, but didn't get it ....
Very well sung, though   :)

Very nice cover. I like it :) :clap

Thank you, JF! Well, it's a 62' Fiesta Red Fender body with MK signature strat neck and Texas Special pickups. Sound is unbelievable good!
Thanks for expectation :D First take gave me terrible "Paraguaaaaaay" after the last chorus, so I decided to do just one instead :lol
Better a small fish than an empty dish, so we will continue to do covers with me on the vocal (I'm on the left side, BTW).

Yes, I take stereo mix signal from the main mixer out. It's way more harder to sing without headphones.

Thank you Lis, too!
