Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want - Smiths Cover

In homage to the Pretty in Pink Soundtrack, I've flipped my collar up. Rad. The ES-135 has a B7 Bigsby Vibrato and Z-90 Harmonic Design pickups, and the 60's Epiphone amp is whirring with the onboard tube tremolo.

I have the exact same guitar as you, but without the Bigsby. I'm looking into buying one, but do you have to install it yourself, or can you get the guys at the guitar shop to do it for you? I'm not good with the mechanical guitar stuff, and the guitar is way too expensive for me to attempt doing it myself.

Nice work on the cover btw.

The guys at the shop did it for me - I agree, anything involving drilling I leave to the experts.

Nice Job....lovely guitar sound. Have you listened to Clayhill's version ?

[Jahnli]

Thanks for the suggestion, I hadn't but I just have - Clayhill's interpretation is stark and gorgeous.

Please please tell me what chords you used!! I need to know!!

[Jahnli]

D, A, D (Good Times for a Change) Bm, G, A (See the luck I've had, can make a good man bad) G, D/F#m A (So Please Please Please) D, A, Bm (Let me let me let me) G, A, Bm (Let me get what I want, this time) The little solo in the middle, instead of that last Bm, do this...

@MissNacirema I agree, that guitar is absolutely beautiful. Jahnli, good good cover! I've never heard the original and as of right now, I don't want to. Take that as a compliment! I do love the chord voicings of the song - especially the D7.

[MissNacirema]

my goodness, that guitar is wicked. great stuff!
