Sorry - I couldn't resist - the apache sounds so good for that surf tone

Song: A bit of Mr Moto by the Belairs but played slower
Guitar: 1983 Fiesta Red Squier JV '62 strat
Bare Knucke: Apache on the bridge
Amp: Guitar Port with add on Fender Twin Reverb emulation, Lux Spring and Opto Tremolo
Playing: Poor

Hope you can feel the wild surf crashing in......

uhmm yes, the timing is out. The tone is not too bad.

You mean you revived this sorry attempt from page 2 to tell me the timing is out!  I mean cant you let sleeping dogs lie!  I told you the playing was bad, come on its not a pro clip and doesn't purport to be :)   :)  :)

Timing has always been a problem of mine, i'm too busy at work and too lazy at home to practice slowly with a metronome and too excited about BKP tone to practise and practise - which is why I am not a gigging guitarist or ever will be!
