Crossroads cover - lead extravaganza!

[schenkerguy]

Here's a cover of Crossroads I did just for fun.. Couldn't find anyone to sing it so my vocal will have to do. This is just an excuse for mega lead solos anyways!

Any and all comments very much appreciated!

if that doesn't work...

Sounds good. Almost couldn't tell what song it was until the vocals came in. I like how you slowed the tempo down a little.

Vocals sound good and guitar tones are great.

Nice playing.

Just curious, what kind of guitar/amp did you use for this?

Used a few different guitars.. The Hendrixy sounding intro rhythm in the left is a two year old Squire Strat with a missing G string. The first lead section is an Ibanez Artcore AF75 with TV Jones pickups, the second more distorted section is an 85 Randy Rhodes Jackson. All guitars and the bass are recorded direct into the soundcard and then processed with Amplitube 2.

Thanks for the comments!

Very well man!
Even your singing is very good and you don't need to be shy and turn it up just a little bit.
You did not try to copy original. You did it your way and that's way it won my interest.
I use to DI-record my guitars too but your sound really kicks ass.
What card do you use? Do you connect go via DI BOX or preamp? If preamp: which one?
Any processors or just software?
Would you mind to share some of your original tunes?
