Man, this is excellent! Weird Al would be proud. I love a good parody. You have the ZZ Top style down. Well done.

Again, beautiful guitars. This time the drums are particularly good too.
Are these BR-600 drums or do you use software?

Also is the bass sounds a BR-600 simulation patch? Just interested in a geeky sort of way?

You haven't let us down yet, another stunning tune.

gingerjack - The drums are BR600. I found the drum tab on the net and used the rhythm editor to program the patterns. I put them all together into an arrangement and Volia! - instant ZZ Top. The Bass is either "Loose Bass" or "Tight Bass" sim . I can't remember which one, but I always use one or the other. I've got to find a cheap bass one of these days.

PS - If I can find where I saved the drum arrangement, I will post it up here for people to jam on.

48 - Thanks man, glad you liked it.

This ZZ tune used to be a daily play for me - so this "parody" was quite a thrill! It was done so well it could be used as a backing track for somebody to sing over.

You da man!
