Photograph - Def Leppard Cover

Ok, here's (in my opinion) one of the greatest songs in the world by one of the greatest bands in the world. "Photograph" by Def Leppard off of 1983's Pyromania. I'm using the same set-up as the "Scotty Doesn't Know" video.

My guitar is tuned down a quarter of a step...Yes, a quarter of a step. This allows for dead on intonation with the song which was recorded with machines that weren't calibrated correctly (on purpose or not)...or so I'm told.

Anyway, it's not perfect but that's the beauty of live music. For some background info on the song I think I'll quote Joe Elliot from a concert in Denver. Enjoy!

"Not so very long ago there was a lady by the name of Norma Jeanne. She became a model and an actress. She then changed her name to Marilyn Monroe and in 1983, we wrote a song about her. And it goes like this!!!"
