Hi everyone! I've decided to record some Andy Timmons' tune.
AT has so many great tunes, so I love them.
At first I wanted to record "Cry for you", but some good BTs are in E flat.
And eamon7 posted it. I hope to record it in the future.
Then I picked up "A night to remember". I used Avalon's BT(-GT).
It's excellent. Thanks a lot, Avalon. :thumb:
I hope you enjoy it, and your comments are appreciated. :rock:

Thank you so much, my friend!
I also love Andy's tune. It's so difficult in a meaning different from JP.
For example, rhythm, bending and so on.
I'm not satisfied still enough with mine. I'll keep on advancing. :rock:

Never knowingly heard A.T. before (except Kenny's "Cry For You"), but this was excellent :thumb:

Excellent work mate, i have to admit i feel alittle bad now though, about a month and a half ago i was going to update this BT, but when i came to the backup i had of it on cd, it was corrupt, so i had to put it on hold as i'd also miss-placed the original copy of the song i had :tard:
Listening to how damn good this was, i really wish i had of got to updated the bt, but my backer aside lol, this really rocked, loved the song ever since Justin introduced me to it, and your cover of it is just excellent mate, in tone and playing, 5 stars for sure :thumb:

Stereophony : Thank you so much!
Pod God : Electric Gypsy is also difficult to play, but it is worthwhile to make an effort. I hope to listen to yours.
A compressor is usually added to my POD tone in Logic Express. If you want, I'll post my POD patch. Thx a lot!
Rain : Thank you for your kind comment!
Netrom : I'm glad you like it. Thx!
ThrashCan2000 : Thank you very much!

I would be very interested in your POD patch as well. :D

Hi Netrom!
With pleasure! I'll post my POD patches at "Post Your Line 6 Presets Here!" in The Studio Forum. :thumb:
I've installed Metal Shop into PODxt live. And I always add compressor through SSL-LMC-1 or TTD Color Tone plug-in. I think my POD tone is different from the tone you listen to.
Anyways, please try them. I hope you like them.
Cheers!

I don't use midi's mate, i scratch build bts, always have, but i might be able to sort out a bt for it, i have the original of that song, i'll have to take a listen to it, see whats to it, maybe i'll make it one day.

Hi Avalon! Thank you for your reply.
Do you scratch build all BTs? Incredible!
Your BTs are excellent as always.
Hereafter, I also look forward to your works.

Great song to cover PF and a super job man i loved it! Really great stuff and also great to hear ya do somethin' other than JP or similar styles,i've wanted to hear that since ya arrived. While i have ya here..i think JP should've played piano and not guitar:D
Your touch, tone and control are all impressive. Can't add much more that hasn't been said. Haven't heard the original to make a comparison. This stand on its own. Quality job all around!

Great cover of a great AT tune, I got to meet Andy last year here in Daytona where he did a Mesa Boogie clinic at a local music store here. It was great he puts os much emotion/soul is his playing and he rocked th ehouse down that nignt. Just being that close to him and listening to him talk about his music and life playing music and the stories he told about meeting SVR and Eric Johnson and collobarationg with them and his influences was awesome. He is such a "down to earth" guy, It was better than any concert I have ever been to, just being in the same room and talking to him and such was worth more than money.
:yourock:
Great cover petruccifreak thanks for this, :woot: another great tune is "Electric Gypsie" as is my fav "Cry for You"
