Brown Eyed Squirrel - DesmoDog Final

DesmoDog

Desmo was my dog. RIP big guy
I'm just about ready to post the real take of Brown Eyed Squirrel but thought I'd post this up first. It's something I've been playing with "on the side" as it were. I haven't got this guitar set up quite like I want it yet but it's close so I've been playing around with it anyway.

Played at 90% of full speed (thank you, Riffmaster Pro!) on my eBay kit built Telecaster. Only effect is some compression via Garage Band. Forgive the clinkers, there are a lot of strings to look after on this one!


EDIT: Here's the six string version I added later in this thread...

Re: Brown Eyed Squirrel - Take 1

Nice going Craig, your Tele kit is sounding really good too  [smiley=beer.gif]

Ok, here's the six string version, I left the backing track in on this one. Hides a lot of sins.  ;)

This was done on my Warmoth Strat. Vox amp on AC25 setting.

I think I'll add it to the first post too just to keep things in one spot...

I love the sound of that 12! Do you have the build specifics posted on the forum someplace?

There's a build thread for it here:

To recap it's a cheap kit off of eBay, I bought it for $140 and then put about that much again into it to fix some things. It's still not great but it's good enough to get a feel for a 12 string.

Thanks for the comments. I added the first barre chord exercise to my practicing and... I'm probably going to jinx it by saying this, but...

They're not as hard as I was expecting! Still working on "Big City' or whatever it is too, hopefully I'll get that recorded soon.
