Wahwah "while My Guitar Gently Weeps"


This is one of those that I've been meaning to do for years and never got round to. I know there is a version out there that Vinnie Moore did so I suppose I tried to do in that style but didn't have the track to compare so just threw my usual she-bang in. Backing track is a bit harsh so that's why I went for a Gary Moore style tone to try and cover up the cymbals etc...might have been better finding a better backer but there ya go!

Listening to this now. Nice job, Wah But your guitar doesn't seem very sad, but more perky with some of those fast runs

I Wish Bode!!! I find Paul to be the finest guitarist on the planet (lb for lb) and I don't know where to begin with his style! If one second of it made you think of him, I take it as a huge compliment!

Cheers!

Cool stuff here Chris! Guitar playing is great as always and the arrangement was cool. But why didnt you sing it?? I think your voice would fit this track great.
Have you heard Jeff Healeys version of this one btw? It's great, love the way he plays the intro!

Chris,

Superb playing, loved the tone and the harmonies were great, I'm still getting to grips with harmonies (without a harmoniser!.Lol).

I confess not being too much of a Beatles fan so searched out some other versions of this to see if it was what I thought it was...Great rendition bud.
This was the other version I found, thought your's was better, even if it is Prince playing amongst others, can't pick out everyone on stage!!!...

Hi mate, I thought about singing it but I haven't done anything for a while now on the guitar and I still haven't got my voice back from all the colds and flu we've had. Plus I find it a chew having to set it all up in mono to record it. And yeah, I have heard Jeff Healey's version but I'd forgotten all about it. I have the album but they're all locked away so that 20 month old hands can't get them and use them as potentially lethal frisbees!

Thanks mate...appreciate the comments. Twin leads are kinda overdone by me I think but I love doing them. The problem I have is I'll come up with a line off the top of my head and THEN try and work out the twin to it...takes friggin' ages! It's a good way of keeping everything melodic and rememmbering different parts of scales in all sorts of keys but I very rarely get them 100% perfect.

I think the Vinnie Moore one is good if I remember. You'd do a favour checking him out on that one. I'll check the link you posted...cheers!

Thanks man...I probably will at some point but I tried to sing 'Soldier of Fortune' a coupla weeks ago and nearly burst a lung! It wasn't pretty...this is a similar low range and I know I wouldn't have to try too hard to hit the notes but I'll wait until I've lost the frog that's been living there for the last 2 months first!!!
