My Cover Version of Beck's Bolero

Description:

The original song recorded in 1966 had Jimmy Page on 12 string, John Paul Jones on bass, Keith Moon on drums and Jeff Beck playing lead with a Les Paul. Beck's Bolero has a lot happening in it. It starts with a strong chord progression with that singing lead riff. Then it has a solo using a slide followed by hammer-ons that almost make it sound like a string section. For added momentum shift, there is a heavy metal section before one last return to the main riff and then the outro. I had previous set up the drum, bass, and acoustic guitar tracks. I also did a second guitar track that comes in after the solo to maintain the hammer-on riff. I am using a low budget blue screen, a blue tarp available from Home Depot and Lowes, and this allows me to superimpose video tracks some of which feature an involuntary cameo by an ex-girlfriend who is currently married to some dude. I hope she doesn't mind. Correction, I hope she does mind. The main flaw with the low budget blue screen is that it is not smooth and reflects light in the wrinkled areas.

As I recall there was also someone on piano. I am not absolutely sure. Though your version has its minor flaws, it appears you really put effort into it. Good show for that. Please post more.
