Title: My humble tribute cover: "Telegraph Road"
Post by: trullols on June 17, 2014, 10:49:53 AM
Hi friends!

Using a backing track, I decided perform this personal tribute. I'm a very bad guitarrist  :P anyway ... I play my guitars & vocals, I'm very sorry because my english is very poor. I play a cheap resonator guitar, and a Stratocaster 61' guitar.

I know it's not a great tribute, but I really wanted to thank MK & DS for all these years of amazing music!!!!

" a bad guitarist" ??????? ??? ??? :o :o :o

well I would love to manage to play at least 50%  like this  :o

gorgeous tone, very well played, wonderful feeling.....love it !:clap :clap

the only bemol I would find is that the guitar tone lacks a bit of reverb to match the mix with the backing track, imho

apart from that, congrats !


TR played on a 61 strat......ah how I would love Mark playing it on his 61 strat....

and even if your english accent is not pefect, at least you sing the song like the original version and I like far much more than recent versions, especially the last verse

and your resonator guitar sound good too  :thumbsup

Thanks a lot for your answer! You are right, there's some bad effects over the strato ... I think some reverb and some chorus as well.
anyway  ;D
This is my red strato:
