_pete_ Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 I was messing around with this old tune and decided to go ahead and record it today. I couldn't find a decent backing track so I put the studio track on the right side and me on the left. It's a little sloppy in spots cause I didn't put a lot of time into relearning it. I used to play this alot twenty years ago and was suprised that most of it came back fairly easy. Working Man I recorded it with an Epiphone Sheraton II with a Seymour Duncan Seth Lover pickups. The amp is a Hughes & Kettner zenTera on a Marshall 100W Plexi setting recorded direct out from the amp. http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h247/pete2112/My%20Guitars/Sheraton1.jpg http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h247/pete2112/My%20Guitars/FullRig2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 I isolated the left channel so I could hear just you. Yeah, that's a real nice tone you have there. Aside from a few minor mistakes from not having played the song in a while you played great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_pete_ Posted December 28, 2006 Author Share Posted December 28, 2006 (edited) Wow thanks guys! I need to polish this one up and try to talk the guys into doing this song. I think it would be a great encore. I think a low output PAF pickup like the Seth Lover is key to Alex's early sound. This guitar really nails the pre-Moving Pictures sounds. It sounds better with the amp cranked up. That was done at a very low bedroom volume (with too much reverb!).

Riv Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Great tone! That's what I love about live music...you can just hear the electricity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushfanNlv Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Looks like you've changed out the original bridge on the guitar too. What's up with that? Now I have GAS for a semi hollow body. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I bought it it did have a Bigsby that I replaced with a Gibson TP-6 fine tuning tailpiece. The 2 small screws are leftover from the Bigsby. I also changed the tuners on it today because one was stripped a little bit. This guitar is 11 years old and has a lot of miles on it. If you do decide to get a semi hollow I highly reccomend these. They are very, very close to a 335 and can be had for under $500 easily. Edited December 28, 2006 by _pete_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually the settings that I use for Bastille Day but it sounds pretty close on this one too. I had the volume low and didn't notice all the reverb until I listened to the recording. I didn't do any of the usual with this recording. Usually I'll eq it, add a touch of compression, and do some punch ins to fix the mistakes but this is just one raw take.
