Here's a cover I started over 20 years ago, but it's only now I think I can play guitar and sing just well enough to complete it! Sorry if you're expecting a fancy multi-angle playthrough video, but that would require me to be an even better musician. The production in this was fun to emulate too.

Gear used:
Yamaha MU100R rack synth for all drums, bass and chords.
Steinberger GMT-2 guitar for lead
Art TubeFire 8 audio interface (lovely preamps)
AKG C3000 condenser mic
My music PC is ancient, running Windows XP, Cubase SX 1, and most plugins over 15 years old. It works though, and I basically use it as a tape machine, basic effects and guitar amp simulator.

    Never heard this ZZ top song before, cheers for the introduction! Nice production on this cover. How long did it take to nail the last guitar solo?
