Hey, thank you for doing this. I had a car accident a few years ago that messed up my hearing and I was having a hell of a time figuring out the chorus to this tune. I needed to know it for a band I was trying out for and I just couldn't make it out clearly. Thanks to you, I know this song and I got the gig. Just wanted to say thank you.
That was rather good, but try playing it less legato, keep it really pointy. Has more pump that way. Also, it's a matter of personal preference, but I'd play this one on the bridge pickup. Cheers!
To play something legato is to leave no space in between the notes, so that the end of one note is the start of the next. The opposite of legato is staccato, where each note is sounded only briefly. You're playing the verse and chorus quite staccato (which is how I like it) but every time you get to the pre-chorus, you start playing legato! I think you'll notice it sounds much groovier if you make the notes shorter.
really nice sound, you're amazin'
michael I miss you...
