I am not a technical player by any means but I have always loved this Satriani tune so I wanted to attempt a version of it. I needed to post this as I have felt stuck in a rut lately, there are a few slip ups in here I just left them in as I tried to do all parts in a single take.:maddance:

This is a tribute to a mega talented guitarist, we are not worthy.:bowdown:

Also a big thanks to Avalon as I used his Backing Track, thx mate:bowdown:

I don't know the song, but sounds very cool Mark!

This was CCCoooOOOOLLLL!!!:thumb: ***** from me

Sounds good to me . Nice fast vibrato and a lovely tone . yeah , hell this is cool :yourock:

super cool man! 5*

Thats the one thing i love about Joe Satriani and Steve Vai is that even though they can shred they also have a art for pulling out soulful and controlled pieces, this song is another of those songs that which has that kind of balance to it, fast in places but very controlled :rock: :rock:
Well i think this is a fitting tribute Mark , lovely tone and the playing was great , i had to think for a min which one this was cos its been awhile since ive heard it, but nevertheless i knew it straight away when i heard you kick in on this :rock: :rock:
Quick note though Mark, thats not Av's bt lol , i know his bt works like the back of my hand(i should cos i play to most of them lol) , this one here isn't one his lol (tell by the drums aswell) :toothless:
Anyway 5 stars on fitting tribute to the Satchter :rock:

Hey Mark,

Nice to see you covering a Satch Tune. About time bro!. Crush of Love is still very much a fav of mine ever since hearing it first on a little black floppy disk that came free with Guitar Player (way back in the late 80's I think !, which is impossible cause I am only 21! LOL).

Really liked your rendition mate, very nice tone that fits well and some nice playing. I did a version of this and found the real high notes a bugger, shred my fingers to hell, you did a fine job of hitting those. Nice job and as Mart said, a very fitting tribute to the Satch man.:thumb: 5 Stars from me also bud.

Sorry bout the confusion on the backer, Jamie created a ton of the Satch backers so I was convinced I had found this one in amongst the collection Jamie had posted.


thx for listening mate:wavey:

Thx Justin for listening, I was in two minds over posting this.

I did a version of this and found the real high notes a bugger, shred my fingers to hell, you did a fine job of hitting those. - I agree My fingers are pretty beat up also after this. I attempted this a year ago and could not get that high note section of solo right (I still can't but it has improved a lot:brickwall:). Satch is one talented fella and his control and note choice is amazing.

Ur Ibanez soundes very nice mate:thumb: Good playing.Jamie's bt is always fantastic***** from me too

I'm not a huge Satch fan but, I do really like this song. And you did a killer job with it, Mark!!!!!:yourock:

Very veritable attempt Mark. Sounds good to THESE ears ... but then again ... I've imbibed abt one bottle of red wine and a double brandy so far tonight ... so I'm feelin' more than a little 'mellow'?

:lol:

:hug:

Love Satriani awesome job love this song also . *****

Way cool melodic playing there man! To tell you the truth, though I´ve been tired of both Satch and Vai ever since the early nineties, if I have to stay with one, that´d be Satch. He´s such a melodic junkie! :toothless:
Just one thing Mark, maybe it´s me, I don´t know. I thought the guitar (your track) was just a tad-bit playing ahead of the track. The same exact thing happens to me when I record with the pod, then I have to scope and slide the recorded guitar some "nano seconds" to the right against the backing track I´m playing to. Not sure if you know what I´m trying to say, but as I was listening I just found it very "familiar" man. Anyways, 5 vers here man for a cool laid back tune and well played!

Hey Mark, lovely work here mate, im playing alot of Satch myself atm, and i was only listening to this one the other night (from the Live In Cisco dvd), so very fresh in my memory.
Lovely tone and playing, quite a soulful track which you definately carried that over in your playing, and i really enjoyed it too, 5 stars :thumb:
And the bt isn't one of mine, one of the few i didn't make one for, but if u ever come to one of my older satch bts for a song, drop me a line mate, cus most of them are well out of date by my current bt standards :)

yes mate i do have some latency issues, i almost prefer tacking the backer into my Boss Multitrack recorder and plugging pod into that, I do all I can but latency is always there a bit, especially with a track like this that can be annoying as hell:mad:

This is a favorite tune of mine from him,i always thought it has a sexual vibe to it,a clean sexual vibe,lol..You did a fantastic job hun,loved it:yourock:

Well done on this Mac!:thumb: I'm sure this brought a smile to ur face cause Satch tunes just have that affect man. Hey check this out it's so f'n funny..:D
