Cool. Gilmore's really a master, eh? I mean, it's not complicated stuff, but INSTANTLY memorable. Played well man. I think the guitar was tuned a tad flat in relation to the original track.
Yeah the guitar sounds slightly out of tune. Not sure whether it's in tune with itself either. Either tune to the backing track or change the pitch on the backing track to standard pitch. Now you're learning licks that will go a long way to helping your improv style - good choice. It's nice to watch a video of people playing but man it sounds lousy on YouTube.... Now if you were really creative you could record separately and sync it to video....
