Beatles Cover - Something

I've been off the forum for a while, partly because I have been super busy with household chores, etc, and partly because I have been working hard learning to play my electric guitar...something I have never done before. It has been quite a learning experience. I've learned a lot from fellow open mic friends who have been kind enough to give me some pointers. Anyway.... It features my PRS CE 24. Please excuse my weak head voice in the bridge. It's the best a bass/baritone can do. :-) I play the rhythm guitar, lead and do the vocals. The backing track is the bass, drums and orchestra. This one is dedicated to M. Love ya!!!

You've never played electric lead guitar before? Seriously? You did a FANTASTIC job. Well done!! Now you need to learn how to play the bass. BTW your PRS is beautiful.

Thanks much Daryl. Yes, seriously, I've never played electric lead before, and thank you! I consider that a great compliment coming from the Master of TG electric busking. Bass??? Well maybe, but I'd rather just find myself someone to accompany me on one. Thanks again.

Thank you Sandy, David, and Michele, I appreciate your comments. I look forward to having more time to be active on the forum again.

My apologies to other posters for not chiming in lately, things have been crazy busy. I have enjoyed all of Ness's lessons and the great work of Chris, Corina, Bart. Jimi and others.

Welcome back Bill, was about to send out a search party :laugh:

Great job on putting that all together! Beautiful guitars in action there! Looks like you're getting a taste for electric, about time too :laugh: you are old enough to play one now! Took me to be 60 before I got one. Well played Bill.... don't stop now....

Nice work Bill. That was great.

I've never played electric but I certainly think about it a lot lately.

Could you summarize what were the biggest lessons learned so far? (Sorry if that's an unfair question).
