That ain't no problema! 'Mustang Sally', now that's a different story, that could be a problem... so much older and worn-out! Like me!

Getting far too lenient here. Jump? Next thing you know he'll tell us he is using a Nord Lead on an X stand and running it through a Roland KC amp. Without eternal vigailance it can happen here. :)

 

 

No, using a Roland D-20 on an old computer desk, through an ART line mixer and Presonus powered monitor speakers.

The only cardinal rule you broke was telling us about it.

 

I wasn"t supposed to tell anyone? :ohmy:

That's only til you are out, as Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony and David Lee Roth will attest.

Do most of you pro guys consider the proper way is to play a part like in Jump EXACTLY like it was recorded?

I play it note for note, but when I play the solo in the middle, I switch to a wah-wah saw lead to give it my own personal touch. Sometimes I'll do an extra flourish during the arpeggios, but yeah, otherwise note-for-note. I'm okay with people doing their own spin on it, but they gotta earn it first, make sure you can play it exactly right before you wank on it. That said, I play it so much, and so many regulars hear it, I've sort of forgotten that it doesn't use a way, and I bet they have too!

 

Actually, the part that I really like but totally gets lost is the synth line underneath the guitar solo. I love that in the studio cut, but it never translated right live, always gets buried by everything else, but I'm nervous to push it lest i step on the guitar solo.

Puck Funk! :)

 

Equipment: Laptop running lots of nerdy software, some keyboards, noise makersâ¦yada yada yadaâ¦maybe a cat?
