God :roll: That reminds me of the time I played in a band with my brother in law in the early eighties.
He played a Strat with a tone like that guy has. It would have cut through granite there was so much treble. No matter how much we told him to add some tone to it, it fell on deaf ears :shock: Every single song we did was done with that earsplitting racket :evil:
I was never so glad when he left us to go with another band and normality prevailed 8-)

The guy is playing just fine but that tone :o
It kind of ruins it for me I'm afraid.
Hugh.

Thats just got to be the WORST "Sleepwalk" ever!!
Too smart-arsed for its own good and tone that made my ears bleed.
Nothing pretty, delicate or musical about the whole thing.
Sorry if he's supposed to be famous :roll:
cheers

Again. Great playing but a bit overdone I think. It takes away the smoothness the tune is supposed to have, it should flow. Another guitarist that thinks he should fill every empty space in the bar with notes.
Sorry thats just my take on it. At least the tone was acceptable :)

Please, someone, tell me the Danny Gatton version was a spoof. I'm wtih Ian all the way on this one, it's self-indulgent and horrible to listen to.
