Boot Hill - cover of Stevie Ray Vaughan's version

Playing Boot Hill on a Chandler LectraSlide with 0.012 gauge strings. I could not sing this at all in Eb (not that it's much better now), so I had to tune it up to F# (i.e. standard tuning except the root is F#. Also, the 3rd string is tuned up a half step the same way SRV did on this song).

sounds great, just need some more aggression in your singing in this song

[Littlewing1213]

wow man, you can sing really well too

well done on another stevie cover

@bluzup I respectfully disagree... that's one way of doing it, of course, but there are others. Smooth and creamy can work too. T-Bone anyone?? Some people's voices just aren't suited to a growly, shouty delivery. I know - i'm one of them. You just need to work what you've got, and target the right material to suit.

Nice playing and singing there buddy

it's too good to be true

[bluzup]

ok hard critique here but im a blues singer so im not being mean. you play guitar nicely. intro needs some work and your voice is great but your need to kick it hard whenyoure singing the blues.  the instrumental solo is good. over playing is good. just kick up the singing. listen to johnny winter man hes awesome and stevei did a nice version. would like to hear you do the song again with a little more aggression

[Brainiac83]

Very cool. guitar playing is awesome, just put some anger in your singing and your there. This song is brutal.

That guitar is killer, I love the sound you get outta that thing. You have a nice voice as well, but just remember that when you sing blues, attitude counts for a lot. Boot Hill is about a man who is pissed so sing like you are pissed. Peace and Best Wishes, keep rockin them blues!
