Pictures of Matchstick Men - Status Quo cover

[Mojo1961]

Hi everyone, I just finished this cover, a little more uptempo than a few of my previous posts. This was a fun song to cover. I used my Tele on this song, so it's a bit twangy in spots. All guitar tracks are doubled and panned, and so are the vocals. Used tone load for drum kit. Enjoy.

One of my faves. And you've done a great job on the cover. Very nice layering and mixing, and the drums sound very cool indeed. Nothing wrong with a bit of Tele twang - that's what they're for! Nice work.

Thanks for the comments guys. I am glad you enjoyed it.

I find that sometimes the effects on my Br-600 are more suited to humbucker pick-ups and I find it hard to get the right settings for my Tele but I thought that clean parts cut through my phased and distorted tracks quite well. I'm glad you guys did too.
