That was impressive!

It also tells me why I'm well placed in a classic rock & blues band.  I started hearing a lot of stuff I was not familiar with when he hit the early 80's, and from 1990-up I didn't hear a single riff I had ever heard or see the title of any number I knew of.

Maybe it's his choice of music, but I thought I knew a BIT more about 80's-up music than that.

This is nitpicking but why "Peter Gunn" is always played wrong? The last note is G#, not G.

Other than that, very impressive indeed. :mrgreen:

I don't really care for the way that bass sounds. Could be just my computer and speakers though.

I agree, it seems it is way too boomy and lacking on mids. Most of the times I had to imagine what he is really playing...
