This time I made the backing track myself, just one track EZ Drummer and one track rhythm guitar and one track solo guitar.

Here is the clip (06:27):

LOL Thanks.

A lot of the chime/harmonics comes from the RC Booster which gets out the best of Bogner's Channel 1.

Thanks :O)

Hunter - top quality as always. This has always been one of my favourite ZZ Top songs - you have done it justice, I'm sure Billy Gibbons would be happy with it.

Awesome, as always... I believe if I give you a Tonante guitar with a 5w Ciclotron amplifier you will make it sound good!  :D
