So i decided to record it and see what you guys think about it. Its Jerry C's version. I messed up slightly in various areas of the song but i think i can cover those easily when playing live. So, id like some feedback please You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content! Don't miss today's free blues, jazz & country licks.

As for criticism, put up a little more gain and don't be afraid of dirtying up your sound a little. It sounds way too clean which is good for perfection but even Zaza never played it clean. But you know, its up to you man. I'm sure the crowd wouldn't notice your mistakes since I barely notice it myself and I've listened to the song very religiously. Oh yea, if you have some delay pedal or maybe reverb then put on a dash of it. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

But to polish it, it took alot of time and i always do everytime i can. Im not sure if i understand what you mean about way too clean, you mean not enough distortion? or too good I have my gain at 8, i guess itll turn it to 10, i just thought that too much gain would make it sound crap but ill give it a try. Also yes im using slight delay to make it sound better (imo). But i dont get what you mean by this: QUOTE then put on a dash of it. thanks for listening mate!

I thought that it was clean to a point where I figured your holding back on your gain. You played it very good so I couldn't argue on that. Maybe its just the recording I don't know but if it sounds good to you then I have no problem with it. It would probably sound better live anyway. Good Luck when you perform it. Make Zaza proud.

I haven't heard the song myself but may I suggest adding a bit more vibrato on some of the longer sustained notes? They're fairly few in number but they sound just slightly flat (I don't mean that as pitch) but its still great anyway Good job. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

My only note on this is that the G string sounds a bit offtune, other than that very well done Oh and I thought you were going to play my song in that show, but this is a better choice I think You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

The thing is that the most important aspect in playing this song is to have lots of fun with it... Add vibrato (tons of it, I'd suggest), bends when you feel like it, and definitely more gain to your tone You missed some parts of the song, but I guess that was just nervousness of recording or minor details you can easily fix Btw, another suggestion I can make you is to try to improvise a bit I'm sure that will help you feel more confident and your presentations is going to be better Wish you the best, great song decision You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
