Across the Universe (cover)

Last one! Very pretty song. I decided to have a bit of fun and throw Variax Sitar on it - keeping in mind that I do have a real sitar kicking around. There's always tomorrow!

This whole night of mucking about, I actually wanted to work on original songs, but I had a hell of a sore throat so I opted to do some covers instead. Such is life!

What gauge of strings are you using ? Did you use a particular setup to get that sitar sound ?

[Zebonka]

I have 042-009's on my Variax. I can't tell if that's the 'right' gauge for this guitar, but the 10's I use on my other guitar felt a bit heavy on this one.

It does have a dedicated sitar setting, which is how I got the sound.

Only other peculiarity when I did this batch of videos was that I accidentally swapped the B and E strings and didn't realise.

Uh, what are you talking about? I'm not playing a guitar in this video. It just looks like a guitar, but actually it's a very clever hoax.
