  • what fx did you use on this i cant get that fly tone? if you were to message me back i would be very grateful thanks sherm keep up the work!

  • I skipped the rp12 on this one. I just used a cheap junk $30 digital delay pedal, a crybaby wahwah and my fender amp's distortion. Other than the hiss it came out ok. The wahwah is activated throught the whole song. You just have to find the spot I'd say 65% towards treble end in the wah's sweep that gives a nice tone and leave it there for those parts of the song. Thanks.

  • I think around 0:28 was the exact spot for the wah. It wasn't quite where I wanted it in the beginning of the song. Oh well...

  • Sherm Vs. ralqh on the fly? tough one to decide but one of if not the best covers in youtube..

  • Oh man, thanks but I think that version by Ralgh DESTROYS ME. The harmonics during the chorus give me chills.

  • What model is that crybaby and what overdrive/distortion you use?

  • jeez, not sure, bought the crybaby in the early 90's, distortion is just from my fender pro 185 amp also bought back then. I skipped the digitech pedal for this one, it got in the way of the wahwah sound.

  • Nice Solo Dude!

  • Hi sherm, you play very good, I have the same guitar and I think you should use de last position to play this song, you are using the first position but if you use the 5 position it will sound more seem I think, Im miguel ángel from spain, nice to meet you!!!

  • The chord at 1.25 is it a G7 ?

  • Dude you just blew my head off.......love you for that.

    Love your video's and you just gave me a reason to buy a new guitar.

    Only an acoustic guitar isn't enough for a man.

    Hope to play like you one day.
