A few months ago I bought a Rickenbacker 360 guitar. Just made a little video of myself playing a few R.E.M. riffs on my guitar.

  • get a fender amp mate......or vox

  • @tailendcharlie I've been looking into getting a Vox one of these days, once I have the money.

  • what's this song? 1:16

  • @gioani8rambo That was "Green Grow the Rushes" from Fables

  • Nice work on "Green Grow the Rushes" and "Pretty Persuasion" riffs. Excellent playing. Cheers!

  • @luv2fly71 Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! R.E.M. has been my favorite band since I was 9, and I thought I'd do this as a tribute, though the built-in laptop mic and the Line 6 amp don't really to the guitar and the songs justice.

  • Good playing, but that Line6 is really robbing your Rick of its natural tone.

  • Good playing... terrible mic'ing :-)

    all the best

    -B (just bought a 330 JetGlo myself...can't wait for it to arrive)

  • @tailendcharlie Definitely - whatever amp that is, it's shite!!

  • Your video sound is aweful, but it was cool ! I love this guitar

    Great job & cheers from France ;)

  • I can see you worked on those parts. I never liked R.E.M. much except for two songs after the band broke from niche status and went "commercial" in the late 80's. R.E.M. and Gin Blossoms guitar parts always sounded pretty much the same to my ear after R.E.M. started doing Top 40 style music.

  • i would kill for a rickenbacker

  • @bryankail .. The One I Love

  • @JonBerghausen You'll burn that friggin' amp when you get a real tube amp I tell you :-)

  • i dont like the combination at all,the tonality does not appeal to me in the least.to each his own right?

  • @JonBerghausen you ll get a really bright sound..,amps are so important ....great playing btw
