Beat it solo on a tele

Музыка

Recorded on Aug 3rd 2022. One afternoon, I was nostalgic about MJ and Eddie so I decided to revisit the Beat It solo on the Telecaster. Why the tele? Because it was just sitting there in the corner and I was too lazy-a$$ to pull my Ibanez RG (with trem) from storage.
Update 2: When it's around 35 Celsius (or 95 Fahrenheit), I sometimes wear shorts. I think I'm not the only one. Feel free to comment on the musical aspect of the video. Thx.
Update 1: It's been pointed out I may bear a resemblance to the vsauce character guy. I assure you, I'm NOT him so no need to comment on that.
Gear: The guitar is a Fender Player Plus Nashville Telecaster. My model is a few years old so I don't have the push-pull switch on the tone control. However, the rest is just as described on the Fender website. It was plugged in a Boss gt-100 board. I use very simple effects: normal disto at about 70% gain, slight delay, slight reverb. Nothing fancy otherwise the tone becomes garbage. I think there was also a 2db boost at 1k freq to cut through the mix. The amp is a small 10w Yamaha thr10x (green) on full clean. This was recorded with my iPhone sitting straight on the amp.

When your faves moves involuntarily like that, it shows you’re one with your instrument. If your face isn’t moving like that, your heart ain’t in it. Great job man. Loved it!

I saw a VERY polished telecaster so I guessed it was one of those collectors who don't really play that much. Glad to be wrong! :D he did kill it.

    Just a friendly heads up; what your comment actually means is his playing would disgust Eddie Van Halen, which Im pretty sure wasn’t your intention. If something makes someone “turn over in their grave”, it means they would dislike it, at least in the US. Maybe it’s different in Brazil, though.
