Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Here Comes My Girl - Cover

Описание: This is a classic song by Petty - "Here Comes My Girl!" It's so cool. Tom talks the verses, though there are stories that say he almost released a version where he sings those lyrics. It's the talking that everyone was captivated by, as it's so rare in music to do that. Fantastic. I made five video Covers off this album, Damn the Torpedoes. It's my fave band mix ever captured on album by an American group. This Jimmy Iovine production is THE sound I'd go for in the studio.

These videos serve as lessons on how I play this bunch of Pop, Rock, and Reggae songs - sometimes as a single guitarist playing the only guitar part, though that's rare. And sometimes if there is more than one guitar part, then trying to find the single good path through the tune. I complete one pass, demonstrating different Rhythm parts, styles, and techniques. There is no talking. No discussion. No note-for-note explanations. As such, for clarity, my guitar is supposed to be louder in the mix than it would ever be in a live setting. But, if you really want to hear what I hear, do what I do and put on a good pair headphones with great bass response! It's worth it.

Why this song is important to Rhythm Guitar:
It's a Cover. That means that I am picking parts to play as if I were going to play it all by myself live. This is the way I'd play it alone on Guitar, but with Keyboards playing the Hammond organ part. Bentmont Tench's Keys are essential - like most Petty songs.

That being said, it is excellent example of how two guitars are supposed to work together. Tom plays mostly what I play and Mike plays Ric 12 string all over this tune. I kinda get the same feel as Tom with a dotted eighth delay, which gives me an easy dig-it-y dig-it-y over the chords. Also the droning B and E notes over Amaj, Bmaj, and Amaj (inverted), makes going to the chorus's Emaj so damn right!

Well, you'll see.
