Buc McMaster Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 This tune was prominent in a movie I watched with the wife last weekend........sorry, can't remember the name.......it was a cover by The Bangles that rocked. The riff caught my ear so I figured I give it a try. Tough one. Lots of words crammed into tight spaces..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7IHojAM__0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scriv58 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 movie: Less than Zero? sounds good, you have a smooth voice, whereas my voice knocks stuff off the table and scares children and small animals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle fester Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 good stuff Buc! envious of your voice, envious of your guitar playing... I'm better looking though :o (meant with humor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Well done, old boy. I haven't heard that song in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparquelito Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Lovely version, Buc. And do my eyes deceive me, or are you playing the guitar simply by holding against your body with your forearm? (I can't see any guitar strap.) Either way, well done, sir. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirNed Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Is that Peter Quill up there watching you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars68 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Cool! I recognize that song. Also, I can see the strap Lars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livemusic Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Cool! I recognize that song. Also, I can see the strap Lars I do NOT see a strap. Or was he resting it on a table? Buc likes the same music as I do, I have played that song, too at gigs! Paul Simon is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle fester Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I think I see the strap, watched again to look for it, and got lost in the song and forgot to look - again, well done Buc. also, Buc's wearing a hat though, I saw that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buc McMaster Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 Is that Peter Quill up there watching you? Who is that?!? If you're referring to the guy in the upper left corner....I dunno....could be. The wife is into Star Wars characters and that's one of them but that's all I know..... And yes, there is a strap there. It's a Sully with no shoulder pad, about 5/8" wide. With the negligible weight of an acoustic guitar a shoulder pad just gets in my way. Thanks for listening, folks! I have slowed the tempo in further work with the tune. It takes a little of the "rockin'" out of it but seems to make it more impactful....if that makes any sense. And anyway, a cover need not be exactly like the original recording, yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirNed Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Peter Quill is Starlord from Guardians of the Galaxy. I thought that looked like him, but it was a bit far away for me to tell. Anyway, impressive performance as usual. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
