Bye Bye Blackbird - Epiphone Les Paul standard left handed

This is Bye Bye Blackbird, first with my own solo theme I wrote for this tune for school, then the original. Then I just try to fool around, but don't get your expectations up, because I don't know this song too much (yet). :)
And sorry if the audio is a bit silent...

Damn, new les pauls are so flashy and red :((

@orfmor Yeah, these epi's have a bit too much lacquer. But my friend has a Gibson, it pretty much looks the same, only the maple top wood is higher quality, but has the same flashy finish :) Needs a little time to dull, and have that worn look. I'm gonna dull the finish manually - I've seen a tutorial on how you can re-polish the look, so it looks like a masterbuilt custom instrument :D

Hey, I'm a lefty too. Im looking for a new guitar is the epiphone les Paul standard a good guitar?? Thanks :)

[AllarisFianna]

@HarryDude54 Hi! Yes, it's pretty good, and for an affordable price. This is my model: Epiphone Les Paul standard plus top; heritage cherry sunburst. Gibson's MSRP is 953 USD, you can buy it for about 600-700 USD anywhere. Maybe you want to change the pickups to another model (epi pups sound a bit more jazzy, they pack a lot more bass). I use the factory originals.

couldnt think of a more fitting solo.

@AppleFaction Thank you, much appreciated! :) Maybe I should start doing some jazz standards again... currently I'm playing too much hard rock with our band. :)

@Shogun1289 Thank you honestly! I'm really happy you find it fitting for the tune! First I was afraid it is too "bluesy", you know? :)
