This tune needs a solo and some percussion.
And a better vocalist. I should have written it down a whole step.

In A.

I downloaded this to give it a shot but the original is played in A major and your playing it in A minor.
And there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. I really like your version and your vocals and bass Are awesome. Its just when it gets to the guitar solo its in A flat and i could do it but i can`t ring out any open strings. When I do any Eddie, i dont try and copy him and nobody should. I just play the way i like.
Anyways i might still try to give it a go. i wanted to do the synth part with my guitar too and i have to revamp everything. Its actually more challenging. Hmmm...lol

Hi Gnasty.
I checked the tuning for Jump and it is in A and the relative minor is F#m, so the chords
played for the solo are F#m D and E. I am not sure where you got the Am from. It is not
applicable for this tune. Try it again, I do want to hear your solo for this one.

Hey Gene,

Sorry i didn`t get back to you on this.
Yes you are right about the chords. I was tired and didn`t know what i was thinking obviously. Damn i`ll try `n noodle with this. I have alot going on.

No offense to anyone but myself but the problem with me is if i don`t like what i do i`ll scrap it...lol

Nice version, I like the treatment. Vox sound good to me for the way you did this.

Cheers,

I'll see what I can do, but originally this song is in C with the Solo in Ab so I'll have to transpose it to your tuning, and it's been like 15 years since I played it hahaha but like I said i'll give it a shot.

 I'll have to give up on this one, I like your version but my style just clashes too much and I can't find your groove on this one :( I'll take a look at it again later on down the road but for now all I'm making is noise....
