Topic: BCC The Great Divide Solo cover

Hi guys!

I'm new to the forum. I was figuring out in the last couple days Joe's solo on the song The Great Divide, and I just uploaded a video of it. I hope you like it!

I missed this when it was first posted.  Great job, especially the vibrato.  Nice guitar too.

AWESOME! MAN, how is that for Bonamassa Magic?  cool  We didn't speak to each other but we both kept looking at each other like hell yeah this is something.  big_smile We had to be here and had to be up front! I guess this here is our formal introduction to each other buddy!!!  tongue Keep up the great playing, great to see yet another aspiring younger guitarist who greatly admires Joe Bonamassa! Sorry my brain did not click at the show who you actually were!  sad

Ah! That's it! Well, next time BCC tours around here I'm sure we'll be in the same place again!

Thanks for the kind words!

Re: BCC The Great Divide Solo cover

Thought I would take my turn at covering this song. When it first came out, I was blown away. So I set about sounding it out and attempting to play it. Hope you like it. I'm in Phoenix and haven't seen any tour dates come this way, but will be seeing Joe's band In Tucson Feb. 22/2011. Really looking forward to it.
