  • Why do you give breakdowns of some of your videos and not others. i know this track is quite basic and is general 3 notes, however, i am having difficulty seeing what you are playing in parts, is there any chance of a breakdown in slow time of the begnning of the bridge part and the end outro, apart from this I havecracked it

  • @MrMarkdavies007 - That is a good question. It's mostly a matter of time I suppose. Sometimes, quite honestly, I just don't feel like doing it! There is no rhyme or reason. With this one though, you are right in that the track is quite basic. I also try not to use a bass without fret markers as I did in this one anymore. Play it like you hear it! If it then sounds wrong to you, then it's time to learn it again. Good luck.

  • Thank you for posting this; a famous world known dj known as Ferry Corsten did this song in techno and it was the same down to the guitar riff and bass line

  • @MikroBadass - I'll have to look up that version. Thanks.

  • my favourite with skin trade :)

  • @deepace - Skin Trade is coming soon!
