"While My Guitar Gently Weeps" Cover-Ibanez 540S

Cover of the classic George Harrison song based around the Jeff Healey rock version. New version arranged and performed by Chris Neale using his 1989 Ibanez 540S. "I improved on the sound on this movie by recording it simultaneously in stereo on the Mac... shame YouTube won't permit a large stereo file!

Absolutely rocking. I can't remember the last time I logged into yoytube to comment but well worth it. Superb.

LoneArrow a couple of questions if I may: There is 1999 Ibanez S 540 Custom in my local guitar shop going for £450 (dropped from £650) in mint/A1 condition, same colour as yours. I see this as an investment but would appreciate your thoughts. Secondly do you have much knowledge on amplification? Namely the BlackStar HT60 & Marshall Haze 40?

@67GRC Hi dude... unfortuneately, relatively modern Ibanez guitars are unlikely to appreciate in value unless they are rare. The signature "Prestige" models are more valuable but even they probably won't increase in value. My 540S was the equivalent to a "prestige"... made in Japan as opposed to Korea and cost around £1000 in 1990... but probably wouldn't fetch half of that now! But then again... it's the only guitar I bought and never passed on!

very nice man... and a sweet guitar too...

[LoneArrowOne]

Thanks dude... re your version/same song: nice idea but you can't use a minor pentatonic scale for the chorus man! You nearly got away with it until you started bending... you gotta use a major scale for the chorus progression so when you bent that 3rd (pentatonic) note you were bending thru the flattened 5th of a pentatonic....it cannot be used there dude, cos it's not in the major scale!

[LoneArrowOne]
