Cry for You play through

Описание: Yes I know I stuffed up the framing 🫣 But I had literally nothing in the tank after this play through - so it had to stand as it was.

Cry for You is the first Andy Timmons song I ever heard (to be precise the first I heard of him was on the Simon Phillips piece Jungleyes that immediately preceded Cry for You on the video of the Ibanez 90th anniversary concert, but Cry for You was the first of AT's own music that I heard). Years (decades) later I still love it just as much.

On my previous channel I played it a couple of times - both pretty dodgy. This is still pretty dodgy 🤣 but somewhat better... I think. This is using Logic to split that Ibanez 90th recording into stems, and mute the guitar. So drums are by Simon Phillips, Bass by Jerry Watts, Keys by Jeff Babko. I hope none of them would have an issue with me messing about over their performance like this. 🤞

I played mostly what AT did on that particular performance up until the quiet part following the big ascending sixes, and from there it's just improvising, with some nods to that performance of his.

Unfortunately my recording skills are lacking. In this case it was the video recording that was the biggest fail; I think my fat fingers must have tapped the 2x as I was placing my iPhone on the shelf to record. So my picking hand is not visible, and neither is the fretting hand above about the 12th fret. 😏 Though that would make claims of fakery possible, I'm not going to re-record it, because having got all the way through it, I'm calling it done. 😝

I will also (as I spoke about in my last vid) upload the camera video with the room audio - showing my working, as it were.

Guitar is my Ash Customworks bitsa (Rockson body from an old pawnshop guitar, Ibanez neck, Breed and Cruisers...) into my JHS AT+ and then Vox Cambridge 50. That is going into my MacBook running Logic, with Neural Amp Modeller with a clean Lonestar model and IR of some Celestion-loaded cab. That audio just loaded into Final Cut with the video and I did my level best to sync them up not too terribly.
