A great choice of track and superbly played. Not the HBM alum start to the BT of course but its a good BT - well done Tony.
Playing as always is excellent - smooth style ,lovely bends and great tone - must be that B. I . neck - LOL!!

How do you tell which bike is yours out of all that lot?? - EASY - its the Fiesta Red one!!

Thanks Ian - Yes Tony did a great job of the Backing track!

Hank's version starts off in the key of A then changes to C after the solo,
where as Katie's is in C all the way through. This BT follows Hanks with the key changes but has the longer solo of the original in the middle.
Oh - and mine is the green one on the first bike picture

Cheers Phil

Hi Phil,
Love the tone from your strat - and very relaxed style of playing.
Listening on headphones I noticed the stereo echo/reverb panning very slightly from my right to left on each note struck - how do you achieve that neat effect?
Kind regards,
Martyn

Hi Martyn,
I must admit I hadn't noticed the stereo panning but now you pointed it out I can hear it.

It's the first video I've done where instead of using the camcorders mike - I plugged into a M-audio Delta 1010 digital recorder
then into cubase on the computer. I'm no expert on cubase, my son was driving it - I think it was the compressor which is a tool in cubase
you can add to the mix which must have produced the panning.

Thank you for kind comments

Cheers Phil
