• Description : This is my cover of a classic tune....(more) Maybe the most well-known song by ZZ Top. La Grange was included in "Tres Hombres" album (1973). The album version was originally played with a 1955 Fender Stratocaster. So I decided to use my mexican Fender Stratocaster standard model (1992). Had a few drinks and decided to record it, after all, I was in the right mood to play the song ;) This cover is based on the original album version, I just added a couple of very noticable details (slidings, one strum at the end of the clean part after the solo, the very end). I decided to put the video as it is, not a lot of editing or visual effects, just rough as it is. I hope you like my video! The original song has 2 rhythm guitars playing during the song (during the clean parts just one of them is playing). Billy Gibbons recorded the solo and outro later, so when the solo or outro is playing there are three guitars playing (2 rhythm and 1 soloing). Recording the solos later when the song is ready is something that most bands do. I found a couple of backing tracks, and mixed them to get a single backing track that has drums, bass, vocals and one rhythm guitar, so I just have to play lead guitar including solo and outro, everything in a single line. I hope you like my arrangement. Maybe its not necessary to say I had a lot of fun recording this one xD thanks for watching! ------------------------------------------------- As usual, I used my Zoom G2.1u effects pedal, so these are the settings for the patch I made for this cover. (remember I used my stratocaster to play this, this patch sounds different with a guitar with different tone, such as a Les Paul). http://www.mediafire.com/?5azxz0w2mue (less)
