Always loved this song since hearing Jeff Healey cover it, discovering it was ZZ and then listening to that and being even more floored.. Anyway, VERY low key playing and some vocals which, tho I can't stand my voice, I like it on this! Maybe blues in B is my thing! Break open the Thunderbird wine and get out on the porch! :maddance:

Bro!!! You found your niche!!!!!!! To hell with the Metal bro.....your a BLUES MAN!!!!!! LOL!!! Seriously tho Chris, this is OUTSTANDING!!!! First....the playing is beyond great....all the feel and nuances of great electric blues!!! The tone is soooo killer too!!! Has that raw, low key vibe that just suits this tune perfectly!!! And now, the shocker, at least for YOU!!! ......Your vocal is SUPERB!!!!! I have no clue why you think you can't sing VERY WELL!!! Has the obvious "white boy singing the blues" quality to it, as does mine when i sing blues, but still a very compelling, fantastic vocal.....lovely tone, beutifully in key!!!! What more do ya need!!!!!! This is a very very STELLAR performance mate!!! Going for the............................................... ..........
BIG 5+!!!!!!!!!!:thumb: :boobies: :yourock:

This is sick! Great vox and tone! I loved it!

I agree with JPF, you are a natural bluesman...:thumb: :thumb:

I loved this cover you did and I loved the Healey cover..thx for reminding me of that

Love to hear you play guitar like this man, less notes mean so much more ( I am very much a minimalist)...the intonation on your double fret bends is spot on bro

Great vox, you really have found your niche...

let us do a Floyd cover together......PLEASE:yourock:

I do love your vocals. You know I have told you before you sound a bit like Tilbrook. The playing sounded super soulfull! Very nice tone...very very close to the ZZ version to my ears believe it or not. To me, this song was always a killer to hear!! MY second favorite to "Since I been Loving you" by Led Zep in terms of a "feel" song. Great job man!! Do more!! :thumb: :thumb:

Thanks guys...it's a confidence issue more than anything else. If you don't like the sound of your voice what can you do?!?!? Macman, I've just about finished the grandaddy of all Floyd songs (IMO!) and 3fingers is doing vox on it but if I get a chance I'll be trying 'Dogs' at some point...I'll keep ya posted.

I totally agree with John! This was off the charts!!!!!!!!!!!!! You do talk like you're not confident with your singing. I know all about having confidence issues. Im that way with my playing. Dude this was awesome!! 5 Big Ones!!!!!

Thanks Murph...yeah, it's just I can't control my voice the same way I can the guitar. After playing forever, I feel a kind of 'allegiance' with it that I'll never have with my voice BUT would love to be able to sing well! Thanks for the listen. :thumb:

% Stars no ifs or ands about it

That's either a percentage sign or 96!!! Whatever, thanks for listening! :yourock:

Excellent track m8:rock: :rock:
I think vocals is like anything else, you just have to believe in yourself and your ability:)

This is a killer tune! Saw both Jeff Healey and ZZ Top play this live. Jeff was absolutely amazing to watch! Chris, I've always liked your vocals. You don't give yourself enough credit. I remember when you sang "Still In Love With You" and then re-did it with Roy cause you were unhappy with your vocals. Now, Roy's awesome, everybody knows that... but I liked your version better:thumb: Anyway, great job on this! Loved everything about it. 5 stars!!!

Thanks Bahamut and Charles...it's knowing where you can do it and where you can't I think...and I still am not sure what my range is. I'm doing a cover of my fave song of all time at the moment (the one I would ask I'm buried to!) and I would LOVED to have done the vox and thought I could...until I tried. Then I realised I would be killing it dead...enter 3fingers...we'll keep you posted!

Cheers. :thumb:

Daddio there is smoke coming from my speakers hun:notme: ..There sizzlin hun,and so are you!!!!..I love this..Dayum more ZZ:yourock:

Cheers rain! :boobies:

This could be coming straight out of some hi-end studio with top studio performers, and you couldn't convince me otherwise... That includes the vocals. I think this is a new favorite for me, from your catalog of GREAT stuff. :yourock:

Cheers mate...well appreciated. Just looking at the folder of my stuff and Black Rose stuff and there's over 120 tracks!!!! :tmi:

WOW! stunning performances on both the guitar and vox IMHO! Top notch in all regards. 5 stars and then some.:thumb:

Cheers slacker...it makes me wanna try more vocals to be sure! :yourock:

beautiful guitar sound on the opening of the track. Classic strat sound (this is where you tell me it isn't :)) and it sounds like it is sweetened with a little compression which I like.

Vocals are really on the money. I haven't heard the original but this stands on its own with pride. Loved it mate. :thumb:

Thanks mate...yeah, it was the Levinson; I'm on a mission to buy 'em all up before the secret is out about how much better than Fender they are! Keep it to yourself! :thumb:

Chris this is fkin awesome, amazing playing, tone, and vocals, absolute awesome job, straight 5's from me :thumb:

Shit man nice job! I'd keep singin and forget it if ya don' like ur own voice it's other people ya gotta be worried about n if u've read this i'm sure u'll sing again!:yourock:

Took me a sec to get used to the differences but it is quite a good rendition. This is one of my favs, I know the whole song lick for lick. Can't play it but it's one of those that I've just sat in the dark listening to over and over.

Did you use a BT or did you create it on your own?

ZZ Top did a lot of great blues stuff.

Good job.

sweet mate ... VERY sweet! :thumb:

cheers Jimmy, Naganom, nroberts, john...appreciated. :thumb:

Awesome stuff wah.. I'm in envy!!! I love this shit to no end... If you have more you have to post it. :thumb:

Nice post, what can I say that has not been said. Beautiful job on this tune. Loved the bell tone on the strat or whatever you used. Great use of phrasing, great feel and some monster licks on this one. Have to agree about the vox, you have a great sound! I'll hit you up with a 5 star rating on this tune.

Very nice rendition Chris , Your vocals sound class :thumb:

Thanks guys and gals...much appreciated. Gonna do some more vocals soon enough. :thumb:

Great vocals..Lets hear some more!..i know what you mean when you play your own voice back to yourself!...but honestly you sound great..sweet sound on the Levinson....Better than i get on my 63 strat!..Keep on singing!:)

Thanks for the encouragement matey... :thumb:
