"Crazy Train" Guitar Cover

My version of the Ozzy Osbourne/Randy Rhoads classic "Crazy Train" - I play the verse section slightly different than the original by playing with a gallop type picking rhythm to give the song a different feel and make it more fun for me to play.

Gear used:

Panasonic DMC-ZS7 HD Camera
American Fender Stratocaster with Kirk Hammett EMG pickups
Fractal Audio Axe-FX Ultra
KRK Rokit 6 RPG2 Monitors
Echo Audiofire 4 audio interface
Original "Crazy Train" backing track without guitar track (except for the rhythm track for the solo)
Reaper 64 bit recording software
Cyberlink PowerDirector 9 64 bit Video Editing Software

This was recorded live one take using the default "Crazy Train" patch on the Axe-FX with some extra presence and delay. I also recorded the direct guitar sound from the Axe-Fx with no additional processing into Reaper, and mixed this direct audio track onto the video.

I played the guitar solo using the bending/tapping technique as Randy originally played it instead of a sliding trill. Keeping the bends and taps in tune is tricky, but it gives a nice effect to the solo.
