Tears for Fears - Head over Heels / Broken (Live) (Leppardized Guitar Cover)
Музыка
I was away from my guitar for a couple of weeks and I no longer have calluses on my fingers so I wanted something a little less demanding to build them up (although that keyboard solo after the first chorus wasn't such a good idea haha). Anyway, I love this song and this band and Tears for Fears were the first non-Lep cover I did way back in...whatever year it was. I covered Everybody Wants to Rule the World, the link is below. There's always some cool guitar work in their songs and I thought I would have a go at Leppardizing this just a little bit.
This version with the cool live snippet of Broken is the version I have always listened to so I couldn't leave that part out. I'd love to cover more and was going to do the solo from Shout but I think the guitars are tuned down two steps to D as there's a harmonic in there that I can't get in E.
'Leppardized' is my way of adding interesting guitar parts to a song that has little to no guitar in it, in an attempt to make it more like the Hysteria era of Def Leppard. Although really it is just an excuse for me to play over pop. :)

I love the addition of "Broken" here. It rocks.
35 years after it was released, you somehow managed to take my favorite song of all time (and IMHO one of the greatest pop songs ever) and you made it even BETTER. I honestly have no words.

That was freaking incredible
The original guitarist (I think it was Roland) and also Curt's bass line, are quite impressive and have always made this song a joy for me to listen to .
I called my wife out to watch this. Although we know the 80's well, neither of us realised how layered the keys & guitars were in the versus. Love how you really swing the rhythm parts, absolute perfection. Your feel & timing is superb.

Best guitar cover version of Broken.
I can't stop watching you play. To quote the music clerk from Wayne's World "You are like...amazing..dude"
If this version had hit the radio back then, this song would've hit No.1 SWEET Sounds
Man, your covers are my principal influence of the type of sound i want to build. I love your playing, for real. Thanks for upload them.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Triple M radio station in Sydney used to play Broken sometimes after Head over Heels and I would be ecstatic whenever they did. I didn’t think it could be improved on but as always, you took it to a new level. I hope Roland and Curt hear your version. I still have my LP after all these years and Songs From the Big Chair is definitely their best album. Broken is one of those songs best listened to loud and I love it at the end where there is the slightest of pauses then the crowd erupts. I just did silent applause to my cat and he gave me side eye. 😏🙄👏🏼
I'm still listening to this at least two or three times a week. 😅
I always loved the live version of Broken at the end. Such a catchy melody.
Love your guitar take on the last section (in my minds eye)! Absolutely inspired variation from the original and I love it. Tremendous song in the first place. Hard to improve upon but clearly not impossible! Great job.
wow mate...you almos made me cry on this. GENIO!!!
Yep, definitely Leppardized!
One of my fave New Wave songs, good shit!!
Absolutely loving the little "pizzicato" moment at 0:48.
Love this Leppardized series!
So good. I've been following you for years. You deserve big money for your level of professionalism.
your arpeggios in the outro felt like i got punched in the guts. you deserve serious props for emulating so many of the synth parts but the simple parts are often the best. another amazing, amazing cover. thanks so much man.
One of the best albums ever made.... AMAZING cover as ALWAYS!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻👏🏻
Always pickin' the good songs dude! Awesome job!!!
Well done, always! This song is pure pop genius and you did it justice.

This is so great on so many levels! Love all your Def Leppard covers, and this is my favorite Tears for Fears song! To hear these worlds come together is refreshing and inspiring! Keep up the great playing!
Another great posting, Ben. You are a Master Class on the guitar and your interpretations and tones fit the tracks so well, they could have been studio on the originals. Truly, sincere thanks and congrats on your work, here. It is always a pleasure to drop by. And TFF is a favourite of mine. If you are still playing them, Break it Down Again would rip with your treatment! 😊 Cheers - 👍😎🇳🇿🏴🍺🍺

Hello nice cover, I played this song with piano and drums, I don't know why but Tears for Fears have something special in every song, maybe the special feeling, from Guatemala City blessings!
Man! This is such a delight. Thank you!
Incredible. You've always got such great tone!!! And such an artistic touch to your playing.
Dude...this is killer! Seriously!
Great as always, my guitarist n. 1, thank you my friend
I love the way you enhanced this number, in a good way. Really enjoyable.
Perfect as always! Keep on Leppardizing songs from these amazing bands!
Brilliant cover!!
Nailed it yet again. Great work
Steve Clark would’ve pounded a few Open G power chords while Phil would’ve done the melody in the last bar.

Thank you for FIXING this song! I'm old enough to remember when it came out. I understand you didn't want to turn it into a metal song. But... some of the new wave stuff, needed some beefing up.

Damn this is good!
This cover is amazing!! Love the lepordizing and also reminds me of a whitesnake kind of guitar setting and also covered the bass section on 2:01 great job with that on the bass plus the playing would have made this a no.1hit back then
Great Job!
You rock dude!!
1:31 this part sounded cool
Awesome 👍
Well done bro
Always a wee treat when you do these. You must share your settings foe the me50. Cheers!
A friend of mine played that one day. I ask him what feet the really high notes were on? He said “Way the hell up there.”
Good job!

Excelente!
Your tone is incredible! I’d love to figure out how to emulate it on my helix
That's the first time I've ever heard a Tears For Fears song done like this! All that's missing are Rick Savage's bass and Joe Elliott's screaming lead vocals.
